[DESCRIPTION]REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
February 10, 1999
To the Board of Directors of
Transamerica Investors, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements
Transamerica Investors, Inc., comprising respectively, the Transamerica
Premier Aggressive Growth Fund, Transamerica Premier Small Company Fund,
Transamerica Premier Equity Fund, Transamerica Premier Value Fund,
Transamerica Premier Index Fund, Transamerica Premier Balanced Fund,
Transamerica Premier High Yield Bond Fund, Transamerica Premier Bond
Fund, and Transamerica Premier Cash Reserve Fund (collectively, the
"Funds") for the year ended December 31, 1998, we considered its
internal control, including control activities for safeguarding
securities, in order to determine our auditing procedures for the
purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to
comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, and not to provide assurance
on the internal control.
The management of Transamerica Investors, Inc. is responsible for
establishing and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to
assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. Generally,
controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's objective
of preparing financial statements for external purposes that are fairly
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors or fraud may
occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of
internal control to future periods is subject to the risk that it may
become inadequate because of the changes in conditions or that the
effectiveness of the design and operation may deteriorate.
Our consideration of the internal control would not necessarily disclose
all matters in the internal control that might be material weaknesses
under standards established by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the
design or operation of one or more of the specific internal control
components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that
errors or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the
financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected
within a timely period by employees in the normal course of
performing their assigned functions. However, we noted no matters
involving the internal control and its operation, including controls for
safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as
defined above at December 31, 1998.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board
of Directors and management of Transamerica Investors, Inc. and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
