Transamerica Bond Fund benefits from an experienced team of portfolio managers and research analysts, but recent reshuffling provides pause and the team’s proclivity for credit makes this an aggressive offering. This leads to a Morningstar Analyst rating of Neutral for most of this strategy’s share classes and Negative for the most expensive one.
