- Transamerica Small/Mid Cap Value Fund Class I (TSVIX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks maximum total return by investing at least 80% of its net assets in small- and mid-cap equity securities, including U.S. equity securities, American Depositary Receipts, and foreign securities trading on U.S. markets; the portfolio emphasizes value-oriented stocks with low price-to-cash flow, price-to-earnings, or price-to-book ratios, particularly in the small-cap sleeve, with up to 10% allocated to foreign issuers. The fund maintains a diversified portfolio across sectors such as financial services (approximately 13-16%), healthcare (13-14%), industrials (13-15%), consumer defensive (10%), and technology (7-10%), with primary exposure to U.S. stocks (over 93%) and minor holdings in non-U.S. equities, cash, and utilities; top holdings typically include companies like First Citizens BancShares Inc., Dominion Energy Inc., Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc., Evergy Inc., and Kraft Heinz Co., representing about 7.6% of assets. Class I shares, launched on November 30, 2009, target institutional investors with a minimum initial investment of $1,000,000, feature a net expense ratio of 0.89%, and are available in the United States; total net assets stand at approximately $624-656 million, with the share class at $246 million. The fund is part of Transamerica Funds, managed by Transamerica Asset Management, Inc., a subsidiary of Transamerica, which operates as the U.S. arm of Netherlands-based Aegon N.V. (acquired in 1999), with Transamerica headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, and additional operations in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Denver, Colorado. Portfolio management includes Kenneth Burgess (since 2011), Brett Hawkins (since 2016), R. Michael Creager (since 2019), W. Ryan Wick, CFA (since 2022), and Rick Plummer, CFA (since May 2025). Recent developments include the addition of Rick Plummer as co-manager in May 2025 and Transamerica's broader strategic shifts, such as Aegon's December 2025 announcement to relocate its headquarters to the U.S. East Coast (legal domicile in Delaware) and rebrand fully as Transamerica to focus on U.S. life insurance and retirement leadership; additionally, Transamerica expanded retirement offerings through a partnership with FBG Service Corporation for pooled employer plans in late 2024 and launched two actively managed ETFs (Transamerica Large Value Active ETF and Transamerica Bond Active ETF) in December 2025.
