BALTIMORE, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (TAM) today announced an expansion of its existing relationship with Great Lakes Advisors, LLC (GLA) through a new solicitation agreement for GLA's established Large Cap Value strategy, available through unified managed accounts (UMAs) and separately managed accounts (SMAs).

TAM's expansion into managed accounts reinforces the firm's commitment to providing advisors with access to differentiated investment solutions across a growing range of investment formats. By leveraging GLA's established Large Cap Value strategy and TAM's distribution scale and advisor relationships, the partnership creates growth opportunities for both firms, expanding GLA's access to intermediary channels while broadening managed account offerings for advisors and their clients through TAM.

"At TAM, our vision is to connect the right solutions to our clients' needs, and this GLA partnership extension reflects that commitment," said Marijn Smit, CEO of Transamerica Asset Management. "We believe large cap value remains an important component of a diversified equity portfolio, and by offering advisors multiple ways to access the strategy, we are making it easier for them to implement investment solutions that meet the evolving needs of their clients."

The strategy is available in a managed account through several prominent firms and platforms, including LPL Financial, Charles Schwab, Morgan Stanley and Envestnet to name a few.

"We're thrilled to expand our long-standing partnership with Transamerica by making our Large Cap Value SMA and UMA available to their distribution network," added Tom Kiley, CEO of Great Lakes Advisors, a Wintrust Financial Corporation company.
