Exhibit (d)(2)(c)

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

TRANSAMERICA ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC.

This Agreement, entered into as of March 1, 2016, between Transamerica Cayman Managed Futures Strategy, Ltd. (the “Fund”), and Transamerica Asset Management Inc., a Florida corporation (referred to herein as “TAM”), to provide certain management, investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund.

The Fund is a Cayman Islands exempted company. The sole shareholder of the Fund is Transamerica Managed Futures Strategy (the “Sole Shareholder”), a series of Transamerica Funds (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (collectively with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and any exemptive orders thereunder, the “1940 Act”), and consists of more than one series, including the Sole Shareholder. The Fund’s principal purpose is to provide the Sole Shareholder with exposure to the returns of commodities markets within the limitations of the federal tax requirements that apply to the Sole Shareholder. The Fund (unlike the Sole Shareholder) may invest without limitation in commodities, commodity index-linked securities and other commodity-linked securities and derivative instruments. However, the Fund otherwise is subject to the Sole Shareholder’s investment restrictions and other policies. In managing each of the Funds, as well as in the conduct of certain of its affairs, the Fund wishes to have the benefit of the investment advisory and administrative services of TAM and its assistance in performing certain management functions. TAM desires to furnish services for the Fund and to perform the functions assigned to it under this Agreement for the considerations provided. Accordingly, the parties have agreed as follows:

1.    Appointment. The Fund hereby appoints TAM as the Fund’s investment adviser and administrator for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. TAM accepts such appointment and agrees to render or cause to be rendered the services set forth for the compensation herein specified.

2.    Duties. In its capacity as investment adviser and administrator to the Fund, TAM shall have the following duties:

(a) TAM shall regularly provide the Fund with investment advisory services, including management, supervision and investment research and advice and shall furnish a continuous investment program for the Fund’s portfolio of securities and other investments consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions, as stated in the Sole Shareholder’s current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The investment advisory services to be provided shall be subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and shall include the design, development and ongoing review and evaluation of the Fund and its investment strategy; where applicable the selection, oversight and monitoring of one or more investment sub-advisers to perform certain duties with respect to the Fund; ongoing portfolio trading oversight and analysis; risk management oversight and analysis; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a process for the valuation of Fund investments; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a compliance program for the Fund; design, development, implementation and ongoing review and evaluation of a process for the voting of proxies and rights to consent to corporate action for Fund investments; participation in Board meetings and oversight of preparation of materials for the Board, including materials for Board meetings and regular communications with the Board; oversight of preparation of the Sole Shareholder’s Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, shareholder reports and other disclosure materials and regulatory filings for the Sole Shareholder; and ongoing cash management services.

In furtherance of the foregoing, without limitation, TAM shall determine from time to time what securities and other investments and instruments will be purchased, retained, sold or exchanged by the Fund and what portion of the assets of the Fund’s portfolio will be held in the various securities and other investments in which the Fund invests, and shall implement those decisions (including the execution of investment documentation and agreements), all subject to the provisions of the Fund’s Memorandum and Articles of Association (as may be amended from time to time, the “Articles”), the 1940 Act and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and any applicable Cayman Islands law and U.S. state and federal law, as well as the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund and, to the extent applicable, the Sole Shareholder, and any other specific policies adopted by the Board and disclosed to TAM. TAM is authorized as the agent of the Fund to give instructions to the custodian of the Fund as to deliveries of securities and other investments and payments of cash for the account of the Fund. Subject to applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and direction from the Board, the investment program to be provided hereunder may entail the investment of all or substantially all of the assets of the Fund in one or more investment companies.

(b) TAM shall provide supervisory and administrative services to the Fund. Subject to the overall supervision of the Board, TAM shall furnish to the Fund the services of personnel to supervise and perform all administrative, clerical, recordkeeping and bookkeeping services of the Fund; to the extent agreed upon by the parties hereto from time to time, monitor and verify the daily calculation of net asset values; preparation and filing of all returns and reports in connection with any applicable Cayman Islands, federal and state taxes; shareholder relations functions; regulatory reporting and compliance; supervise and coordinate the Fund’s custodian and monitor its service to the Fund; assist the Fund in preparing reports to the Sole Shareholder; providing information to the Sole Shareholder for inclusions in the Sole Shareholder’s registration and reporting to shareholders; act as liaison with the Fund’s independent public accountants and provide, upon request, account analyses, fiscal year summaries and other audit-related schedules; preparation of agendas and supporting documents for and minutes of meetings of the Board; provide office space, telephones and other office equipment as necessary in order for TAM to perform administrative services to the Fund and described herein; and provide such other services as TAM and the Fund shall agree from time to time.

TAM may, with prior written notice to the Fund, appoint in writing other parties qualified to perform administrative services reasonably acceptable to the Fund (individually, a “Sub-Administrator”) to carry out some or all of its responsibilities as administrator under this Agreement with respect to the Fund; provided, however, that the Sub-Administrator shall be the agent of TAM and not the agent of the Fund, and that TAM shall be fully responsible for the acts of the Sub-Administrator and shall not be relieved of any of its responsibilities contained herein by the appointment of such Sub-Administrator.

Except as specifically provided above, in no event shall TAM be deemed to have assumed any duties with respect to, or be responsible for, the distribution of the shares of the Fund, nor shall TAM be deemed to have assumed, or have any responsibility with respect to,

- 2 -

functions specifically assumed by any transfer agent, fund accounting agent, custodian or shareholder servicing or other agent, in each case employed by the Fund to perform such functions.

(c) TAM will place orders pursuant to its investment determinations for the Fund either directly with the issuer or with any broker or dealer, foreign currency dealer, futures commission merchant or others selected by it. In connection with the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, subject to applicable law, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) to the Fund and/or the other accounts over which TAM or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. TAM is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for the Fund which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if TAM determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which TAM and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Board may adopt policies and procedures that modify and restrict TAM’s authority regarding the execution of the Fund’s portfolio transactions provided herein.

(d) The Fund hereby authorizes any entity or person associated with TAM which is a member of a national securities exchange to effect any transaction on the exchange for the account of the Fund which is permitted by Section 11(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 11a2-2(T) thereunder, and the Fund hereby consents to the retention of compensation for such transactions in accordance with Rule 11a2-2(T)(a)(2)(iv). Notwithstanding the foregoing, TAM agrees that it will not deal with itself, or with the Directors of the Fund or any principal underwriter of the Fund, as principals or agents in making purchases or sales of securities or other property for the account of the Fund, nor will it purchase any securities from an underwriting or selling group in which TAM or its affiliates is participating, or arrange for purchases and sales of securities between the Fund and another account advised by TAM or its affiliates, except in each case as permitted by the 1940 Act and in accordance with such policies and procedures as may be adopted by the Fund from time to time, and will comply with all other provisions of the Articles and the Sole Shareholder’s then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information relative to TAM and its directors and officers.

(e) TAM shall, at the request of the Board, exercise voting rights, rights to consent to corporate action and any other rights pertaining to the Fund’s portfolio securities.

(f) TAM may execute on behalf of the Fund certain agreements, instruments and documents in connection with the services performed by it under this Agreement. These may include, without limitation, brokerage agreements, clearing agreements, account documentation, futures and option agreements, swap agreements, other investment related agreements, and any other agreements, documents or instruments TAM believes are appropriate or desirable in performing its duties under this Agreement.

(g) As part of the services provided hereunder TAM shall oversee the other service providers to the Fund, including the Fund’s custodian, independent accountant and legal counsel, and supervise the performance of recordkeeping and shareholder relations functions for the Fund. TAM shall, at the request of the Board, provide advice and recommendations with respect to other aspects of the business and affairs of the Fund.

3.    Sub-advisers. Subject to the Board’s approval, TAM or the Fund may enter into contracts with one or more investment sub-advisers, including without limitation, affiliates of TAM, pursuant to which such investment sub-advisers shall be required to perform certain duties of TAM hereunder as specified in such contracts on such terms as TAM will determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate, provided that in each case in addition to its other duties TAM shall supervise, oversee and monitor each such investment sub-adviser and further provided that such contracts are entered into in accordance with and meet all applicable requirements of the 1940 Act. TAM shall pay the compensation of each investment sub-adviser retained hereunder.

4.    Activities of TAM. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the right of any director, officer, or employee of TAM, whether or not a Director, officer or employee of the Fund, to engage in any other business or to devote his or her time and attention in part to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar nature or a dissimilar nature, nor to limit or restrict the right of TAM to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind, including investment advisory, administrative and management services, to any other fund, firm, individual or association. If the purchase or sale of securities for the Fund and one or more other accounts of TAM is considered at or about the same time, transactions in such securities will be allocated among the accounts in a manner deemed equitable by TAM. Such transactions may be combined, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, and consistent with TAM’s policies and procedures as presented to the Board from time to time.

10.    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated with respect to the Fund at any time, without penalty, by the Board provided that 60 days’ written notice of termination be given to TAM at its principal place of business. This Agreement may be terminated with respect to the Fund by TAM at any time by giving 60 days’ written notice of termination to the Fund, addressed to its principal place of business.

This Agreement may be terminated with respect to the Fund upon the mutual written consent of TAM and, for so long as the Sole Shareholder is the sole shareholder of the Fund, the Trust. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment by TAM and shall not be assignable by the Fund without the consent of TAM.

11.    Use of Name.
