Dear Contract Holder,

On behalf of Transamerica Asset Allocation Variable Funds, we would like to thank you for your continued support and confidence in our products as we look forward to continuing to serve you and your financial professional in the future. We value the trust you have placed in us.

This annual report is provided to you to show the investments of your Portfolio(s) during the fiscal year. The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that annual and semi-annual reports be made available to all investors, and we believe this to be an important part of the investment process. This report provides detailed information about your Portfolio(s) for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2022.

The year began with stock prices reaching record highs for the major indexes as corporate earnings growth appeared healthy and U.S. Federal Reserve ("Fed") policy remained accommodative. However, as the early months of 2022 passed it became increasingly evident that inflation, having reached multi-decade highs, would be more persistent than originally perceived and would require more forceful actions from the Fed. This, in turn, also brought on fears of slowing economic growth further pressuring the equity and credit markets.

In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine and in addition to the humanitarian crises created, concerns of global inflation and international instability also plagued the markets. In March, the Fed raised rates for the first time in more than three years, and as inflation rates continued to rise into the spring it became apparent a far more aggressive tightening cycle was now in process. By June, inflation had reached its highest rate in more than forty years, with the year-over-year increase in the Consumer Price Index exceeding 9%, and the Fed Funds Rate had increased to 1.5% with more rate hikes expected to follow. Long-term rates also jumped considerably higher in June with the 10-year Treasury yield rising to 3.38% by the end of the month, more than double its level at the year's onset.

Additionally pressuring stocks into the summer were fears of a pending economic recession in the year ahead as the combination of continuing Fed rate hikes against an inflationary cycle seemed destined to negatively impact corporate earnings and consumer activity. While first and second quarter gross domestic product ("GDP") reports displayed negative growth, the National Bureau of Economic Research did not declare the economy to be in an official recession due mostly to strong employment growth and positive consumer spending.

The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index officially hit bear market territory by the summer (a decline of 20%) and its low for the year during October. As the year concluded, the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index experienced its worst calendar year total return since 2008, with the most severe damage shown in previously higher priced technology stocks. Led by energy stocks benefitting from higher oil prices, value stocks meaningfully outperformed growth for the year. By year-end, inflation reports showed some easing, providing encouragement that peak rates may had passed, helping stocks to finish the year above earlier lows.

The Fed finished the year with the Fed Funds Rate of 4.50%, reflecting its most aggressive year of tightening in more than 40 years, and the 10-year Treasury yield finished at 3.88%, over two percentage points higher than where it had started the year. Combined with widening credit spreads, this led to double digit declines for the year in both investment grade and high yield bonds and the largest one-year decline in the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index on record.

As this difficult year closed, investors took some comfort in declining rates of inflation, the prospect of the Fed concluding its rate hike cycle sometime in the year ahead, and a perception that a pending economic slowdown may potentially be manageable for the markets after the second-half of 2022 GDP and employment reports remained strong.

For the one-year period ended December 31, 2022, the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index returned -18.11% while the MSCI EAFE Index, representing international developed market equities, returned -14.01%. During the same period, the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index returned -13.01%. Please keep in mind that it is important to maintain a diversified portfolio as investment returns have historically been difficult to predict.

In addition to your active involvement in the investment process, we firmly believe that a financial professional is a key resource to help you build a complete picture of your current and future financial needs. Financial professionals are familiar with the market's history, including long-term returns and volatility of various asset classes. With your financial professional, you can develop an investment program that incorporates factors such as your goals, your investment timeline, and your risk tolerance.

Please contact your financial professional if you have any questions about the contents of this report, and thanks again for the confidence you have placed in us.

Sincerely,

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**At December 31, 2022** 

**1. ORGANIZATION** 

Transamerica Asset Allocation Variable Funds (the "Separate Account"), is a non-diversified separate account of Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company ("TFLIC"), and is registered as a management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Separate Account applies investment company accounting and reporting guidance. The Separate Account is composed of three different subaccounts (each, a "Subaccount" and collectively, the "Subaccounts") that are separate investment funds and are as follows. Each Subaccount invests substantially all of its investable assets among certain Transamerica Variable Funds ("TVF"). Certain TVF subaccounts invest substantially all of their investable assets in underlying series of Transamerica Funds (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds").

---

| |
|:---|
| **Subaccount** |
|  Transamerica Asset Allocation – Short Horizon Subaccount ("Short Horizon") |
|  Transamerica Asset Allocation – Intermediate Horizon Subaccount ("Intermediate Horizon") |
|  Transamerica Asset Allocation – Intermediate/Long Horizon Subaccount ("Intermediate/Long Horizon") |

---

The only shareholders of the Separate Account are contract holders of the affiliated insurance company variable life and annuity contracts.

Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. ("TAM") serves as investment adviser for the Subaccounts pursuant to an investment advisory agreement. TAM provides continuous and regular investment advisory services to the Subaccounts. TAM supervises each Subaccount's investments and conducts its investment program.

TAM is responsible for all aspects of the day-to-day management of the Subaccounts.

TAM's investment management services also include the provision of supervisory and administrative services to the Subaccounts. These services include performing certain administrative services for the Subaccounts and supervising and overseeing the administrative, clerical, recordkeeping and bookkeeping services provided to the Subaccounts by State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"), to whom TAM has outsourced the provision of certain services as described below: to the extent agreed upon by TAM and the Subaccounts from time to time, monitoring and verifying the custodian's daily calculation of the Net Asset Values ("NAV"); shareholder relations functions; compliance services; valuation services; assisting in due diligence and in the oversight and monitoring of certain activities of sub-advisers and certain aspects of Subaccount investments; assisting with Subaccount combinations and liquidations: oversight of the preparation and filing, and review, of all returns and reports, in connection with federal, state and local taxes; oversight and review of regulatory reporting; supervising and coordinating the Subaccounts' custodian and dividend disbursing agent and monitoring their services to the Subaccounts; assisting the Subaccounts in preparing reports to shareholders; acting as liaison with the Subaccounts' independent public accountants and providing, upon request, analyses, fiscal year summaries and other audit related services; assisting in the preparation of agendas and supporting documents for and minutes of meetings of trustees and committees of trustees; assisting in the preparation of regular communications with the trustees; and providing personnel and office space, telephones and other office equipment as necessary in order for TAM to perform supervisory and administrative services to the Subaccounts.

For each of the Funds, TAM currently acts as a "manager of managers" and has hired sub-advisers to furnish day-to-day investment advice and recommendations to the Funds.

The Subaccounts last calculated a NAV on October 28, 2022, and all net assets were distributed out of the Subaccounts on October 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the Trust is in the process of deregistering.

**2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

In preparing the Subaccounts' financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), estimates or assumptions (which could differ from actual results) may be used that affect reported amounts and disclosures. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Subaccounts.

**Security transactions:** Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Security gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification basis. Net realized gain (loss) is from investments in units of investment companies.

**Operating expenses:** The Separate Account accounts separately for the assets, liabilities, and operations of each Subaccount. Each Subaccount will indirectly bear the fees and expenses reflected in the corresponding TVF unit value. These expenses are not reflected in the expenses within the Statements of Operations of the Subaccount and are not included in the Expenses to average net assets, and Net investment income (loss) to average net assets within the Financial Highlights.

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)** 

**At December 31, 2022** 

**2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

**Indemnification:** In the normal course of business, the Subaccounts enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Subaccounts' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Subaccounts and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Subaccounts expect the risk of loss to be remote.

**3. FEES AND OTHER AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS** 

TAM, the Subaccounts' investment adviser, is directly owned by Transamerica Life Insurance Company ("TLIC") and AUSA Holding, LLC ("AUSA"), both of which are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Aegon NV. TLIC is owned by Commonwealth General Corporation ("Commonwealth"). Commonwealth and AUSA are wholly owned by Transamerica Corporation (DE). Transamerica Corporation (DE) is wholly owned by Aegon International B.V., which is wholly owned by Aegon NV, a Netherlands corporation, and a publicly traded international insurance group.

The Subaccounts purchase interests in the TVF, which in turn, purchase interests in the Funds. The net assets of the Subaccounts will reflect the investment management fee and other expenses incurred by the Funds. TAM serves as the investment manager to each Fund.

All Subaccount holdings in investment companies are considered affiliated. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) are broken out within the Statements of Operations.

Effective Octobr 20, 2022, the Subaccounts stopped accruing for expenses in preparation of the liquidation and deregisteration.

**Investment advisory fees:** TAM provides general investment advice to each Subaccount pursuant to the investment advisory agreement. For its services, each Subaccount pays advisory fees accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate equal to 0.20% of each Subaccount's daily average net assets.

TFLIC is the legal holder of the assets in the Subaccounts and will at all times maintain assets in the Subaccounts with a total market value of at least equal to the contract liabilities for the Subaccounts.

Certain managing board members and officers of TFLIC are also trustees, officers, or employees of TAM or its affiliates. No interested managing board member, who is deemed an interested person due to current or former service with TAM or an affiliate of TAM receives compensation from the Separate Account. Similarly, none of the Separate Account's officers or interested trustees receive compensation from the Subaccounts. The independent board members of TFLIC are also trustees of the Funds, for which they receive fees.

**Deferred compensation plan:** Effective September 23, 2021, the Board has approved the termination of the deferred compensation plan. Payments will be made to applicable current and former Board members consistent with Section 409A of the Code. Under a non-qualified deferred compensation plan effective January 1, 1996, as amended and restated January 1, 2010, available to the trustees, compensation may be deferred that would otherwise be payable by the Separate Account to an independent trustee on a current basis for services rendered as trustee. Deferred compensation amounts will accumulate based on the value of the investment option, as elected by the trustee.

**Brokerage commissions:** The Subaccounts incurred no brokerage commissions on security transactions placed with affiliates of the investment manager or sub-adviser(s) for the year ended December 31, 2022.

**4. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES** 

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding short-term securities) are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Subaccount** | **Purchases of<br>Securities** | **Sales of<br>Securities** |
|  Short Horizon | $5650282 | $10756626 |
|  Intermediate Horizon | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18077865 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;32851877 |
|  Intermediate/Long Horizon | 35424837 | 64451121 |

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)** 

**At December 31, 2022** 

**5. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES** 

The operations of the Separate Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the operations of TFLIC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aegon USA. TFLIC does not expect, based upon current tax law, to incur any income tax upon the earnings or realized capital gains attributable to the Separate Account. Based upon this expectation, no charges are currently being deducted from the Separate Account for federal income tax purposes. The Subaccounts recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The Subaccounts' tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities three years from the date of filing for federal purposes and four years from the date of filing for state purposes. Management has evaluated the Subaccounts' tax provisions taken for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Subaccounts' financial statements. If applicable, the Subaccounts recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in relation to interest and penalties expense in Other within the Statements of Operations. The Subaccounts identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, the state of Colorado, and foreign jurisdictions where the Subaccounts make significant investments; however, the Subaccounts are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

We have audited the statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022, the statements of changes in net assets for the two years ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements") of Transamerica Asset Allocation – Short Horizon Subaccount, Transamerica Asset Allocation – Intermediate Horizon Subaccount and Transamerica Asset Allocation – Intermediate/Long Horizon Subaccount (collectively referred to as the "Subaccounts"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the changes in net assets for the two years ended December 31, 2022 of Transamerica Asset Allocation – Short Horizon Subaccount, Transamerica Asset Allocation – Intermediate Horizon Subaccount and Transamerica Asset Allocation – Intermediate/Long Horizon Subaccount, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

**Basis for Opinion** 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Subaccounts' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Separate Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Separate Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Separate Account's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Separate Account's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Management of the Trust** 

Each of the funds is supervised by the Board.

**Board Members and Officers** 

**(unaudited)** 

The members of the Board ("Board Members") and executive officers of the Trust are listed below.

"Interested Board Member" means a board member who may be deemed an "interested person" (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust because of his current or former service with TAM or an affiliate of TAM. Interested Board Members may also be referred to herein as "Interested Trustees." "Independent Board Member" means a Board Member who is not an "interested person" (as defined under the 1940 Act) of the Trust and may also be referred to herein as an "Independent Trustee."

The Board governs each Portfolio and is responsible for protecting the interests of the shareholders. The Board Members are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the business affairs of each Portfolio and the operation of each Portfolio by its officers. The Board also reviews the management of each Portfolio's assets by the investment manager and its respective sub-adviser.

The Portfolios are among the portfolios managed and sponsored by TAM (collectively, "Transamerica Fund Family"). The Transamerica Fund Family consists of (i) Transamerica Funds ("TF"); (ii) Transamerica Series Trust ("TST"); (iii) Transamerica ETF Trust ("TET"); and (iv) Transamerica Asset Allocation Variable Funds ("TAAVF"). The Transamerica Fund Family consists of 107 funds as of the date of this shareholder report. With the exception of Mr. Smit, none of the Board Members serve on the board of trustees of TET. TET is overseen by a separate board of trustees.

The mailing address of each Board Member is c/o Secretary, 1801 California Street, Suite 5200, Denver, CO 80202.

The Board Members, their birth year, their positions with the Trust, and their principal occupations for at least the past five years (their titles may have varied during that period), the number of funds in the Transamerica Fund Family the Board oversees, and other board memberships they hold are set forth in the table below. The length of time served is provided from the date a Board Member became a member of the Board.

| (e)(1) | <u>Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures</u>. Generally, the Registrant's Audit Committee must preapprove (i) all audit and non-audit services performed for the Registrant by the independent accountant and (ii) all non-audit services performed by the Registrant's independent accountant for the Registrant's investment adviser, and certain of the adviser's affiliates that provide ongoing services to the Registrant, if the services to be provided by the accountant relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant.  |

---

The Audit Committee may delegate preapproval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated shall report any preapproval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

In accordance with the Procedures, the annual audit services engagement terms and fees for the Registrant will be subject to the preapproval of the Audit Committee. In addition to the annual audit services engagement approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant preapproval for other audit services, which are those services that only the independent accountant reasonably can provide.

Requests or applications to provide services that require separate approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent accountant and the Registrant's treasurer, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commissions' rules on auditor independence.

Management will promptly report to the Chair of the Audit Committee any violation of this Procedure of which it becomes aware.

**Exhibit 13(a)(1)** 

**Code of Ethics for Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officers** 

TRANSAMERICA SERIES TRUST

TRANSAMERICA ASSET ALLOCATION VARIABLE

FUNDS TRANSAMERICA FUNDS

(each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds")

**<u>CODE OF ETHICS FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND SENIOR</u>**

**<u>FINANCIAL OFFICERS</u>**

Approved by the Board of

Trustees/Directors

Last Revised January, 2020

***Background***

In accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Act") and the rules promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Funds are required to file reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and must disclose whether it has adopted a code of ethics that is applicable to certain specified senior officers and that addresses certain matters specified in the Act and related SEC Rules (a "SOX Code"). The Funds' Board of Trustees/Directors ("Board"), including a majority of the Trustees/Directors that are not interested persons of the Funds, as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, has approved the Funds' SOX Code.

**Covered Officers/Purpose of the SOX Code** 

This SOX Code of the Funds applies to the Funds' Principal Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officer, or any persons performing similar functions on behalf of the Fund (the "Covered Officers"), for the purpose of promoting

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between
personal and professional relationships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files
with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the prompt internal reporting of violations of the SOX Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in
the SOX Code; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• accountability for adherence to the SOX Code.

------

***Risks***

In developing these policies and procedures, TAM considered the material risks associated with insider trading. This analysis includes risks such as

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• lack of appreciation for the goal behind the Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• misunderstanding of fraud and how it happens;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• laissez faire attitudes towards ethical behavior;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continual use of simple compliance controls that aren't designed to adequately monitor and/or improve the
governance/control environment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• lack of implementation of an adequate risk management system.

***Policies and Procedures***

Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest. Each Covered Officer has a duty to exercise his or her authority and responsibility for the benefit of the Funds and its shareholders, to place the interests of the Funds and its shareholders first, and to refrain from having outside interests that conflict with the interests of the Funds and its shareholders. Each Covered Officer must avoid any circumstances that might adversely affect, or appear to affect, his or her duty of loyalty to the Funds and its shareholders in discharging his or her responsibilities, including the protection of confidential information and corporate integrity.

A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Officer's private interest interferes with the interests of, or his or her service to, the Funds. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position with the Funds.

Certain conflicts of interest may arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Funds and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the 1940 Act and the Advisers. For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Funds because of their status as "affiliated persons" of the Funds. The Funds and certain of its service providers' compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This SOX Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside the parameters of this SOX Code.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts may arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Funds and its investment adviser, TAM, of which the Covered Officers may be officers or employees. As a result, this SOX Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether for the Funds or TAM), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on TAM and the Funds. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationships

------

between the Funds and TAM and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Funds. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act, such activities normally will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Board that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes of ethics.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the SOX Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the SOX Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. ***The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Funds.***

**<u>Covered Officer Requirements</u>**

Each Covered Officer must

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• not use his or her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions
or financial reporting by the Funds whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• not cause the Funds to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered
Officer rather than the benefit of the Funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• not use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made
or contemplated for the Funds to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• report at least annually the information elicited in the Funds' Trustee/Director and Officer
Questionnaire relating to potential conflicts of interest.

**<u>Audit Committee Disclosure</u>**

There are some conflict of interest situations that must be discussed with the Funds Audit Committee if material. Some examples of such situations include

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• service as a director on the board of any Trust (public or private), other than a management investment
company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the receipt of any non-nominal gifts from someone or a company that
has current or prospective business dealings with the Funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the receipt of any entertainment from any company with which the Funds have current or prospective business
dealings unless such entertainment is business related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Funds' service
providers, other than TAM or any affiliated person thereof; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Funds for
effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer's employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

***Disclosure and Compliance***

Each Covered Officer

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• should familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Funds to others, whether
within or outside the Funds, including to the Trustees/Directors and auditors, governmental regulators or self-regulatory organizations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• should, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of responsibility, consult with other officers and
employees of the Funds, TAM, and other service providers, with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Funds file with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public
communications made by the Funds; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• has the responsibility to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws,
rules and regulations.

***Reporting and Accountability by Covered Officers***

Each Covered Officer must

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• upon adoption of the SOX Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in
writing (in the form attached hereto as SOX Code Exhibit A) to the Board that he or she has received, read, and understands the SOX Code;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• annually thereafter affirm (in the form attached hereto as SOX Code Exhibit A) to the Board that he or she has
complied with the requirements of the SOX Code;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee or agent of an affiliated person of the Trust
for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•  ***notify the Funds' Audit Committee promptly if he or she knows of any violation of this SOX Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this SOX Code.*** 

***Enforcement***

The Audit Committee is responsible for applying this SOX Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this SOX Code in any particular situation. The Audit Committee is authorized to consult, as appropriate, with counsel to the Funds. Any approvals or waivers sought by a Covered Officer will be considered by the Audit Committee.

The Funds will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this SOX Code:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Audit Committee will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to the
Audit Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If, after such investigation, the Audit Committee believes that no violation has occurred, the Audit Committee
is not required to take any further action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Any matter that the Audit Committee believes is a material violation will be promptly reported to the Board.
The Directors shall take such actions as they consider appropriate, including imposition of any sanctions that they consider appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• No person shall participate in a determination of whether he or she has committed a violation of this SOX Code
or in the imposition of any sanction against himself or herself.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Audit Committee will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Any amendments to or waivers of this SOX Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC
rules.

***Other Policies and Procedures***

This SOX Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Funds, TAM or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this SOX Code, they are superseded by this SOX Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this SOX Code. The Funds' and TAM's codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under 1940 Act and Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this SOX Code.

***Amendment; Interpretation of Provisions***

The Directors may from time to time amend this SOX Code or adopt such interpretations of this SOX Code as they deem appropriate. In connection with any amendment to the SOX Code, a brief description of the amendment will be prepared so that the necessary disclosure may be made with the next Form N-CSR to be filed, or otherwise disclosed in accordance with applicable law.

***Confidentiality***

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this SOX Code shall be treated as confidential and shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Board, the Covered Officers' and Funds' counsel, except as otherwise requested by applicable law.

***Internal Use***

The SOX Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Funds and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of the Funds, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.

***Sanctions***

Compliance by Covered Officers with the provisions of the SOX Code is required. Covered Officers should be aware that in response to any violation, the Funds will take whatever action is deemed necessary under the circumstances, including, but not limited to, the imposition of appropriate sanctions. These sanctions

------

may include, among others, the reversal of trades, reallocation of trades to client accounts, fines, disgorgement of profits, suspension or termination.
