Joshua D. Shaskan		“We invest only in companies for which we have a very tangible catalyst or a point of change, which may be related to the company, the industry, or the management. Whatever the catalyst, it should make the company a great investment, not just a great company.”
		Transamerica Premier Focus Fund

Joshua Shaskan, one of three Portfolio Managers of the Transamerica Premier Focus Fund, believes that a concentrated fund may be less risky than a diversified one because of the attention and the thorough research each stock in the portfolio receives. With a long-term focus on highquality growth, the fund invests in 25 to 40 companies that it expects to be future winners. A team approach and a focus on catalysts are among the key aspects of the fund’s management.
