INVESTMENT ADVISOR

The TR Transamerica Templeton Foreign Fund is a Separate Account portfolio maintained by Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company (TFLIC). The TR Transamerica Templeton Foreign Fund invests exclusively in the Transamerica Templeton Foreign Fund1, a Transamerica Life Insurance Company^ (TLIC) Separate Account, which had an inception date of May 1995. Since March 18, 2002, the Transamerica Templeton Foreign Fund (TTFF) is sub-advised by Franklin Advisors, Inc., Antonio Docal.


INVESTMENT DESCRIPTION

Best suited for long-term investors who want international investment opportunities and who can accept the special risks associated with these investments. The TTFF invests mainly in equity securities issued by companies located outside the United States, including emerging markets. It includes primarily international stocks diversified among a variety of industries, as well as a variety of countries. The TTFF invests for long-term capital growth, and does not intend to emphasize short-term trading profits. Although the portfolio is generally invested in common stocks, it may also include preferred stocks and bonds. In selecting investments, the TTFF portfolio manager takes a long-term, disciplined approach to identifying undervalued stocks which, over time, may produce the greatest share price return.


RISK/RETURN

Foreign investing involves special risks, including currency fluctuations and economic and political uncertainties; emerging markets involve similar, but heightened risks. The fund seeks to minimize these risks by broadly diversifying its investments among many industries and many countries.
