Transamerica Introduces New Mutual Fund Platform
Transamerica Retirement Services has introduced a new mutual fund platform for retirement plans that includes target-maturity funds from three fund families, and has no proprietary fund requirements.

- 300 funds;
- multi-manager investment approach including 35 fund families;
- target-maturity funds from The Vanguard Group, American Century Investments, and T. Rowe Price;
