INVESTMENT DESCRIPTION

Best suited for investors who want to aggressively capitalize on the long-term growth potential of stocks and who can accept the risks this type of fund poses. The Transamerica AIM Constellation Fund invests primarily in common stocks with the most rapid growth of earnings regardless of market capitalization. Many of these are "emerging growth" companies that offer new or innovative products or services and have the potential to grow rapidly. This TLIC Separate Account invests in two categories of companies: those that have experienced above-average and consistent long-term growth in earnings and appear to have excellent prospects for growth in the future; and those that are currently enjoying a dramatic increase in profits. Stocks are bought and sold strictly on the basis of whether a company's quarterly earnings meet specific criteria. By adhering to this disciplined, unemotional investment approach, this TLIC Separate Account seeks to achieve consistent performance over the long term.


RISK/RETURN

"Emerging growth" stocks offer the potential for long-term growth, however, they also pose special risks because the prices of such stocks are likely to fluctuate widely. This Separate Account seeks to reduce these risks by diversifying its portfolio among a wide variety of stocks from a range of industries.
