Transamerica Investment Management, LLC (TIM) is a leading
asset management firm with a history of serving both institutional and retail
clients. Its predecessor firm, Transamerica Investment Services, Inc. was
formed in 1967. In 2000, an entrepreneurial team of investment management
professionals created TIM, an SEC-registered investment advisor. In 2005, TIM
acquired Westcap Investors, LLC, increasing the firm's investment management
capabilities.
TIM focuses on the institutional, sub-advisory,
high-net-worth and retail markets. TIM manages more than $20 billion(1) in assets
for mutual fund and separate account assets, institutional accounts, pension
funds, variable annuity and life insurance accounts for a variety of clients,
in addition to serving as a proprietary investment manager for mutual funds and
variable product sub-accounts offered by affiliated companies. TIM's expertise
covers growth and value equity, fixed income, balanced and convertible securities
research and management.
Over the past several years, TIM has partnered internally to
expand distribution of its Premier Funds and added a substantial amount of
sub-advisory assets through existing internal relationships that include the
Transamerica Funds and Transamerica Series Funds
sub-accounts. TIM works directly with business units within AEGON's agency
distribution groups, Transamerica Capital, Inc., Transamerica Retirement
Services and Diversified Investment Advisors, Inc. to support these efforts.
TIM has also been successful in reaching out to new markets.
As part of its concerted effort to attract new institutional clients, TIM has
continued to develop a dedicated institutional sales team. In addition, TIM's
managed account team has expanded into the separately managed account arena
through the inclusion of TIM products on external clients' platforms and
recommended lists.
A combination of quality research, a consistent application
of TIM's investment philosophy, and a highly motivated investment team are all
significant components designed to add value to the portfolios managed by TIM.
The firm's time-tested philosophy and high-quality original research process
focus on identifying fundamental change in its early stages.
For more than three decades, efforts to achieve successful
investment results have been a hallmark of Transamerica Investment Management.
