| Investment Objective: |
The Transamerica Bond Active ETF is an actively-managed ETF that seeks total return consisting of current income and capital appreciation. Aegon USA Investment Management, LLC, sub-adviser to the Fund, invests, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets in a portfolio of bonds and/or derivative instruments having economic characteristics similar to bonds. For purposes of this 80% policy, bonds includes dollar rolls, U.S. government and foreign government bonds and notes (including emerging markets), agency and non-agency mortgage- backed, commercial mortgage-backed, and asset-backed securities, corporate bonds of issuers in the U.S. and foreign countries (including emerging markets), convertible bonds and other convertible securities, bank loans and loan participations, structured notes, and preferred securities. The Fund normally invests primarily in (a) debt securities rated investment grade or higher, (b) securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities; (c) commercial paper rated Prime. Aegon uses a combination of a global "top-down" analysis of the macroeconomic and interest rate environments and global asset classes and proprietary "bottom-up" research of sectors, industries, issuers and individual securities. |
