Notes to Financial Statements 

December 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

The Touchstone Strategic Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was established as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 18, 1982. The Trust consists of eighteen funds including the following five funds (individually, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”):

 

Touchstone Capital Growth Fund (“Capital Growth Fund”)

Touchstone International Small Cap Fund (“International Small Cap Fund”)

Touchstone Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund (“Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund”) Touchstone Small Cap Value Opportunities Fund (“Small Cap Value Opportunities Fund”) Touchstone Value Fund (“Value Fund”)

 

Each Fund is an open-end, diversified management investment company, with the exception of the Capital Growth Fund and Value Fund, each of which is an open-end, non-diversified management investment company.

 

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of each Fund. The Funds are registered to offer the following classes of shares: Class A shares, Class C shares, Class Y shares, and Institutional Class shares. The assets of each Fund are segregated, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. The Funds’ prospectus provides a description of each Fund’s investment goals, policies, and strategies along with information on the classes of shares currently being offered.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of the Funds’ significant accounting policies:

 

Security valuation and fair value measurements — All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. The Funds define the term “market value”, as used throughout this report, as the estimated fair value. The Funds use various methods to measure fair value of their portfolio securities on a recurring basis. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) establish a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

 

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market instruments are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the 1940 Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

 

The aggregate value by input level, as of December 31, 2013, for each Fund’s investments, as well as a reconciliation of assets for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, if applicable, is included in each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments or Tabular Presentation, which also includes a breakdown of the Fund’s investments by geographic or sector allocation. The Funds did not hold any Level 3 categorized securities during the six months ended December 31, 2013.

 

49
 

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

All transfers in and out of the levels are recognized at the value at the end of the period. During the six months ended December 31, 2013, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 for all Funds except as shown in the Portfolio of Investments for the International Small Cap Fund.

 

The Funds’ portfolio securities are valued as of the close of the regular session of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). Portfolio securities traded on stock exchanges are valued at the last sale price, and to the extent these securities are actively traded, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Portfolio securities quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Securities not traded on a particular day, or for which the last sale price is not readily available, are valued at their last broker-quoted bid prices as obtained from one or more of the major market makers for such securities by an independent pricing service and are categorized in Level 2. Money market instruments and other debt securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value and are categorized in Level 2. While this method provides consistency in valuation (and may only be used if it approximates market value), it may result in periods during which value, as determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower than the price that would be received if the Fund sold the investment. Securities for which market quotations or the NOCP are not readily available are fair valued as determined by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees and are categorized in Level 3. Shares of open-end mutual funds in which the Funds invest are valued at their respective net asset values (“NAV”) as reported by the underlying funds and are categorized in Level 1. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and translated into U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates.

 

Level 2 Valuation— Securities mainly traded on a non-U.S. exchange are generally valued according to the preceding closing values on that exchange. However, if an event that may change the value of a security occurs after the time that the closing value on the non-U.S. exchange was determined, but before the close of regular trading on the NYSE, the security may be priced based on fair value. This may cause the value of the security on the books of the Fund to be significantly different from the closing value on the non-U.S. exchange and may affect the calculation of the NAV of the Funds. Any debt securities held by the Funds for which market quotations are not readily available are generally priced at their most recent bid prices as obtained from one or more of the major market makers for such securities.

 

Level 3 Valuation— Securities held by the Funds that do not have readily available market quotations, or securities for which the available market quotations are not reliable, are priced at their fair values using procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

 

The Funds may use fair value pricing under the following circumstances, among others:

 

If the value of a security has been materially affected by events occurring before the Funds’ pricing time but after the close of the primary markets on which the security is traded.

 

If the exchange on which a portfolio security is principally traded closes early or if trading in a particular portfolio security was halted during the day and did not resume prior to the Funds’ NAV calculation.

 

If a security is so thinly traded that reliable market quotations are unavailable due to infrequent trading.

 

If the validity of market quotations is not reliable.

 

Investment companies— Certain Funds may invest in securities of other investment companies, including exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), open-end funds, and closed-end funds. Open-end funds are investment companies that issue new shares continuously and redeem shares daily. Closed-end funds are investment companies that typically issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a securities exchange or over-the-counter. An ETF is an investment company that typically seeks to track the performance of an index by holding in its portfolio shares of all the companies, or a representative sample of the companies, that are components of a particular index.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

ETFs are traded on a securities exchange based on their market value. The risks of investment in other investment companies typically reflect the risks of the types of securities in which investment companies invest. Investments in ETFs and closed-end funds are subject to the additional risk that their shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV. When a Fund invests in another investment company, shareholders of the Fund indirectly bear their proportionate share of the other investment company’s fees and expenses, including operating, registration, trustee, licensing and marketing, as well as their share of the Funds’ fees and expenses.

 

Foreign currency translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars and translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

 

(1)market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange on the valuation date; and

 

(2)purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

The Funds do not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments in equity securities that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities.

 

Portfolio securities loaned — Each Fund may lend its portfolio securities. Lending portfolio securities exposes a Fund to the risk that the borrower may fail to return the loaned securities or may not be able to provide additional collateral or that the Funds may experience delays in recovery of the loaned securities or loss of rights in the collateral if the borrower fails financially. To minimize these risks, the borrower must agree to maintain cash collateral with the Funds’ custodian. The loaned securities are secured by collateral valued at least equal, at all times, to the market value of the securities loaned plus accrued interest, if any. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the security lending agreement. The cash collateral is reinvested by the Funds’ custodian into an approved investment vehicle.

 

As of December 31, 2013, the following Funds loaned securities and received collateral as follows:

 

   Market   Market 
   Value of   Value of 
   Securities   Collateral 
Fund  Loaned   Received 
Capital Growth Fund  $4,447,708   $4,542,285 
International Small Cap Fund   4,513,344    4,761,045 
Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund   5,386,956    5,496,576 
Small Cap Value Opportunities Fund   14,706,434    14,907,695 

 

All collateral received as cash is received, held and administered by the Funds’ custodian for the benefit of the Funds in the applicable custody account or other account established for the purpose of holding collateral.

 

Funds participating in securities lending receive compensation in the form of fees. The Funds retain the interest or dividends on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Funds also continue to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned.

 

Unrealized gain or loss on the market value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan is recognized by the Funds. The Funds have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.

 

Share valuation — The NAV per share of each class of shares of each Fund is calculated daily by dividing the total value of a Fund’s assets attributable to that class, less liabilities attributable to that class, by the number of outstanding shares of that class.

 

51
 

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

The maximum offering price per share of Class A shares of the Funds is equal to the NAV per share plus a sales load equal to 6.10% of the net asset value (or 5.75% of the offering price). There is no sales load on purchases of $1 million or more of Class A shares. The maximum offering price per share of Class C, Class Y, and Institutional Class shares of the Funds is equal to the NAV per share.

 

The redemption price per share of each class of shares of the Funds is generally equal to the NAV per share. However, Class A redemptions that were part of a no load $1 million subscription may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of up to 1% if redeemed within a one-year period from the date of purchase. Additionally, purchases of Class C shares of the Funds are subject to a CDSC of 1.00% of the original purchase price if redeemed within a one-year period from the date of purchase.

 

Investment income — Dividend income from securities is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding taxes, if any, which are reduced by any amounts reclaimable by the Funds, where applicable. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted

 

Distributions to shareholders — Each Fund intends to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its income and capital gains. Each Fund, except the Value Fund, declares and distributes net investment income, if any, annually, as a dividend to shareholders. The Value Fund declares and distributes net investment income, if any, semi-annually, as a dividend to shareholders. Each Fund makes distributions of capital gains, if any, at least annually, net of applicable capital loss carryforwards. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations. Recognition of the Funds’ net investment income that invest in underlying funds is affected by the timing of dividend declarations by underlying funds.

 

Allocations — Investment income earned, realized capital gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation and depreciation for a Fund are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund. Class-specific expenses are charged directly to the class incurring the expense. Common expenses, which are not attributable to a specific class, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon their proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund. Expenses not directly billed to a Fund are allocated proportionally among all Funds in the Trust, and, if applicable, in Touchstone Investment Trust, Touchstone Institutional Funds Trust, Touchstone Variable Series Trust, Touchstone Funds Group Trust and Touchstone Tax-Free Trust (collectively with the Trust,“Touchstone Fund Complex”), daily in relation to net assets of each Fund or another reasonable measure.

 

Security transactions — Security transactions are reflected for financial reporting purposes as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified cost basis.

 

Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

5. Federal Tax Information

 

Federal income tax — It is each Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. As provided therein, in any fiscal year in which a Fund so qualifies and distributes at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, the Fund (but not the shareholders) will be relieved of federal income tax on the income distributed. It is each Fund’s policy to distribute all of its taxable income and accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made.

 

In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also each Fund’s intention to declare and pay as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its investment company taxable income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ending October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

 

The tax character of distributions paid for the year ended June 30, 2013, period ended June 30, 2012 and year ended March 31, 2012 was as follows:

*The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds. The provisions of the Act were effective for the Funds’ since the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses must be utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may be utilized. Under the Act, new capital losses may now be carried forward indefinitely, and retain the character of the original loss as compared with pre-enactment law, where capital losses could be carried forward for up to eight years, and carried forward as short-term capital losses, irrespective of the character of the original loss.

 

**Utilization may be limited by current income tax regulations.

 

^ Value Fund’s ability to utilize the capital loss carryforwards is limited, under Internal Revenue Services regulations. $25,021,131 was written off due to limitations.

 

The capital loss carryforwards may be utilized in future years to offset net realized capital gains, if any, prior to distributing such gains to shareholders.

 

The Funds have analyzed their tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended March 31, 2010 through June 30, 2013) and have concluded that no provision for income tax is required in their financial statements.

       Gross   Gross   Unrealized 
   Federal Tax   Unrealized   Unrealized   Appreciation

Value Fund   271,269,644    98,858,874    (245,986)   98,612,888 

 

6. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Funds indemnify the Trust’s officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

 

7. Risks Associated with Foreign Investments

 

Some of the Funds may invest in the securities of foreign issuers. Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the U.S. may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitations on the removal of funds or other assets of the Fund, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the U.S., and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers, and issuers than in the U.S.

 

8 Risks Associated with Concentration

 

Certain funds may invest a high percentage of their assets in specific sectors of the market in order to achieve a potentially greater investment return. As a result, the Funds may be more susceptible to economic, political, and regulatory developments in a particular sector of the market, positive or negative, and may experience increased volatility on the Fund’s NAV and magnified effect on the total return.

 

9. Fund Mergers

 

At a meeting held on March 13, 2012, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) providing for the transfer of all assets and liabilities of the Fifth Third Disciplined Large Cap Value Fund and the Fifth Third All Cap Value Fund (each, an “Acquired Fund”), each a series of the Fifth Third Funds (“Fifth Third”), to the Touchstone Value Fund, (the “Acquiring Fund”). The tax-free mergers took place on September 10, 2012.

10. Litigation

 

In January 2012, the Old Mutual Mid-Cap Fund (which reorganized into the TS&W Mid-Cap Value Fund in March 2009 and reorganized into the Touchstone Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund in April 2012) was served with a summons and complaint in an action brought by Edward S. Weisfelner, as Trustee of the LB

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Creditor Trust, in the case captioned Weisfelner v. Fund 1, et al. (U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, Adv. Pro No. 10-4609) (the “Action”). The Action alleges that, under state law, all payments made to shareholders in the December 2007 leveraged buyout of Lyondell Chemical Company were made, by means of intentional and constructive fraudulent transfer and seeks to recover all those payments. The amount sought to be disgorged is what the Fund received in payments in connection with the leveraged buyout, $3,784,800. The Fund (along with thousands of other defendants) has filed a joinder to the currently pending motion to dismiss and awaits the court’s ruling on that motion. The path the litigation will follow (including whether it will proceed at all) depends on the outcome of that ruling; it is uncertain when that ruling will come down, however. At this nascent stage of the litigation, it is not possible to assess likely outcome. The Fund is currently assessing the case and has not yet determined the potential effect, if any, on its net asset value.

 

11. Subsequent Events

 

At a joint meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Touchstone Strategic Trust (“TST”) and Touchstone Funds Group Trust (“TFGT”), held on November 21, 2013, the Board, approved a reorganization of the Touchstone Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund (the “Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund”), a series of TST, into the Touchstone Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Mid Cap Value Fund”), a series of TFGT, pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization. The Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund will liquidate by transferring substantially all of its assets and liabilities to the Mid Cap Value Fund. The reorganization is expected to occur on or about March 24, 2014.

Proxy Voting Guidelines

 

The Sub-Advisors are responsible for exercising the voting rights associated with the securities purchased and held by the Funds. A description of the policies and procedures that the Sub-Advisors use in fulfilling this responsibility is available as an appendix to the most recent Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained without charge by calling toll free 1.800.543.0407 or by visiting the Touchstone website at www.touchstoneinvestments.com or on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “Commission”) website www.sec.gov. Information regarding how those proxies were voted during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30 is also available without charge by calling toll free 1.800.543.0407 or on the Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.

 

Quarterly Portfolio Disclosure

 

The Trust files a complete listing of portfolio holdings for each Fund as of the end of the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The complete listing (i) is available on the Commission’s website; (ii) may be reviewed and copied at the Commission’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC; (iii) will be made available to shareholders upon request by calling 1.800.543.0407; or (iv) can be obtained on the Touchstone website at www.touchstoneinvestments.com. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1.800.SEC.0330.

 

Schedule of Shareholder Expenses

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including reinvested dividends or other distributions; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013).

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line for each share class of a Fund in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the six months ended December 31, 2013” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The second line for each share class of a Fund in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table below is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreement Approval Disclosure

 

At a meeting held on November 21, 2013, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”) of the Touchstone Strategic Trust (the “Trust”), and by a separate vote, the Independent Trustees of theTrust, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Advisor with respect to each Fund of the Trust, and the continuance of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Advisor and each Fund’s respective Sub-Advisor with the exception of the Sub-Advisory Agreements relating to Touchstone Capital Growth Fund and Touchstone Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund. The Sub-Advisory Agreement relating to Touchstone Capital Growth Fund was not up for renewal because it had been approved in November 2012 for an initial two-year period. Also at the November 21, 2013 meeting, the Board, and by a separate vote, the Independent Trustees initially approved a new Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Advisor and Lee Munder Capitol Group, LLC (“Lee Munder”) relating to Touchstone Mid Cap Value Opportunities (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreement”).

 

In determining whether to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Advisor furnished information necessary for a majority of the Independent Trustees to make the determination that the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement and the initial approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement were in the best interests of the respective Funds and their shareholders. The information provided to the Board included:

Other Items (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

(1) industry data comparing advisory fees and expense ratios of comparable investment companies; (2) comparative performance information; (3) the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ revenues and costs of providing services to the Funds; and (4) information about the Advisor’s, Sub-Advisors’ and Lee Munder’s personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements and the proposed approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement with management and experienced independent legal counsel and received materials from such counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement and the proposed approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement and the proposed approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement with independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.

 

In approving the Funds’ Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered various factors, among them: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds, including the personnel providing such services; (2) the Advisor’s compensation and profitability; (3) a comparison of fees and performance with other advisers; (4) economies of scale; and (5) the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board’s analysis of these factors is set forth below. The Independent Trustees were advised by independent legal counsel throughout the process.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Advisor Services. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Advisor, including the professional experience and qualifications of senior personnel. In evaluating the quality of services provided by the Advisor, the Board took into account its familiarity with the Advisor’s senior management through Board meetings, discussions and reports during the preceding year. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s compliance policies and procedures. The quality of administrative and other services, including the Advisor’s role in coordinating the activities of the Funds’ other service providers, was also considered. The Board also considered the Advisor’s relationship with its affiliates and the resources available to them, as well as any potential conflicts of interest.

 

The Board discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of each Sub-Advisor, and the Advisor’s timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board considered the Advisor’s process for monitoring each of the Sub-Advisors, which includes an examination of both qualitative and quantitative elements of the Sub-Advisor’s organization, personnel, procedures, investment discipline, infrastructure and performance. The Board considered that the Advisor conducts regular on-site compliance visits with each Sub-Advisor, during which the Advisor examines a wide variety of factors, such as the financial condition of the Sub-Advisor, the quality of the Sub-Advisor’s systems, the effectiveness of the Sub-Advisor’s disaster recovery programs, trade allocation and execution procedures, compliance with the Sub-Advisor’s policies and procedures, results of regulatory examinations and any other factors that might affect the quality of services that the Sub-Advisor provides to the applicable Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor’s compliance monitoring processes also include quarterly reviews of compliance reports, and that any issues arising from such reports and the Advisor’s compliance visits to the Sub-Advisors are reported to the Board.

 

The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Fund by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

 

Advisor’s Compensation and Profitability. The Board took into consideration the financial condition and profitability of the Advisor and its affiliates and the direct and indirect benefits derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from the Advisor’s relationship with the Funds. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the Advisor’s business as a whole. The Board noted that the Advisor had waived a portion of advisory fees and administrative fees and/or reimbursed expenses in order to limit the Funds’ net operating expenses. The Board also noted that the Advisor pays the Sub-Advisors’ sub-advisory fees out of

Other Items (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

the advisory fees the Advisor receives from the Funds. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Funds both before and after tax expenses, and also considered whether the Advisor has the financial wherewithal to continue to provide services to the Funds, noting the ongoing commitment of the Advisor’s parent company with respect to providing support and resources as needed. The Board also considered that the Funds’ distributor, an affiliate of the Advisor, receives Rule 12b-1 distribution fees from the Funds and receives a portion of the sales charges on sales or redemptions of certain classes of shares. The Board also noted that the Advisor derives benefits to its reputation and other benefits from its association with the Funds.

 

The Board recognized that the Advisor should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to each Fund and the entrepreneurial risk that it assumes as Advisor. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability, if any, from their relationship with each Fund was reasonable and not excessive.

 

Expenses and Performance. The Board compared the respective advisory fees and total expense ratios for each of the Funds with various comparative data, including the median and average advisory fees and total expense ratios of each Fund’s respective peer group. The Board also considered, among other data, the Funds’ respective performance results during the six-month, twelve-month and thirty-six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and noted that the Board reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about each Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board also took into account current market conditions and their effect on the Funds’ performance.

 

The Board also considered the effect of each Fund’s growth and size on its performance and expenses. The Board noted that the Advisor had waived a portion of the fees and/or reimbursed expenses of the Funds in order to reduce those Funds’ respective operating expenses to targeted levels. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees under the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund were paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fees it receives from the Fund and considered the impact of such sub-advisory fees on the profitability of the Advisor. In reviewing the respective expense ratios and performance of each of the Funds, the Board also took into account the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Advisor and its affiliates.

 

The Board considered, among other data, the specific factors and related conclusions set forth below with respect to each Fund:.

 

Touchstone Capital Growth Fund. The Fund’s advisory fee and total expense ratio (net of applicable expense waivers and reimbursements) were at the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the Advisor was currently waiving a portion of the Fund’s fees. The Fund’s performance for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 was in the 5th quintile of its peer group. The Fund’s performance for the twelve- and thirty-six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 was in the 4th quintile of its peer group. The Board noted management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, management’s continued monitoring of the Fund and its plans with respect to the Fund. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that appropriate action was being taken to address the Fund’s performance, and that the advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered.

 

Touchstone International Small Cap Fund. The Fund’s advisory fee and total expense ratio (net of applicable expense waivers and reimbursements) were below the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the Advisor was currently waiving a portion of the Fund’s fees. The Fund’s performance for the six- and twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2013 was in the 2nd quintile of its peer group. The Fund’s performance for the thirty-six-month period ended June 30, 2013 was in the 4th quintile of its peer group. The Board noted management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance and management’s continued monitoring of the Fund. Based upon their review,

the Trustees concluded appropriate action was being taken to address the Fund’s performance, and that the advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered.

 

Touchstone Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund. The Fund’s advisory fee and total expense ratio (net of applicable expense waivers and reimbursements) were above the median and at the median of its peer group, respectively. The Board noted that the Advisor was currently waiving a portion of the Fund’s fees. The Fund’s performance for the six-, twelve- and thirty-six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 was in the 1st quintile of its peer group. The Board took into account the pending resignation of the Fund’s current sub-advisor and that the Advisor was recommending that the Fund be merged into the Touchstone Mid Cap Value Fund in 2014 and that Lee Munder manage the combined fund using the investment strategies it currently uses to manage the Touchstone Mid Cap Value Fund. The Board also reviewed the performance of the Touchstone Mid Cap Value Fund. The Touchstone Mid Cap Value Fund’s performance for the six- and twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2013 was in the 3rd quintile, while its performance for the thirty-six month period ended June 30, 2013 was in the 4th quintile. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the replacement of the Fund’s current sub-advisor by Lee Munder was appropriate given the comparative performance records of the Fund and Touchstone Mid Cap Value Fund, and that the advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered.

 

Touchstone Small Cap Value Opportunities Fund. The Fund’s advisory fee and total expense ratio (net of applicable expense waivers and reimbursements) were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the Advisor was currently waiving a portion of the Fund’s fees. The Fund’s performance for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 was in the 2nd quintile of its peer group. The Fund’s performance for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2013 was in the 3rd quintile of its peer group, and the Fund’s performance for the thirty-six-month period ended June 30, 2013 was in the 4th quintile of its peer group. The Board noted management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including its relatively strong recent performance. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and relevant indices, and that the advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered.

 

Touchstone Value Fund. The Fund’s advisory fee and total expense ratio (net of applicable expense waivers and reimbursements) were above the median and below the median of its peer group, respectively. The Board noted that the Advisor was currently waiving a portion of the Fund’s fees. The Fund’s performance for the six- and thirty-six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 was in the 2nd quintile of its peer group. The Fund’s performance for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2013 was in the 3rd quintile of its peer group. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and relevant indices, and that the advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered

 

Economies of Scale. The Board considered the effect of each Fund’s current size and potential growth on its performance and expenses. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Funds’ advisory fee structure. The Board considered the effective advisory fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement as a percentage of assets at different asset levels and possible economies of scale that might be realized if the assets of each Fund increase. The Board noted that the advisory fee schedules for some of the Funds contain breakpoints that would reduce the respective advisory fee rate on assets above specified levels as the respective Fund’s assets increased and considered the necessity of adding breakpoints with respect to the Fund that did not currently have such breakpoints in its advisory fee schedule. The Board determined that adding breakpoints at specified levels to the advisory fee schedule of the Fund that currently did not have such breakpoints was not appropriate at that time. The Board also noted that if a Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board also considered the fact

Other Items (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

that, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the advisory fee payable to the Advisor by a Fund was reduced by the total sub-advisory fee paid by the Advisor to the Fund’s Sub-Advisor. With respect to Touchstone Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund, the Board took into account that if the Fund was merged with Touchstone Mid Cap Value Fund, that merger was expected to result in greater economies of scale for both Funds following the merger.

 

Conclusion. In considering the renewal of the Funds’ Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. TheTrustees evaluated all information available to them on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and their determinations were made separately with respect to each Fund. The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Funds’ Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor, among others: (a) the Advisor demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor maintains an appropriate compliance program; (c) the overall performance of each Fund is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and relevant indices; or, as discussed above, is being addressed; and (d) each Fund’s advisory fee is reasonable in light of the services received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered. Based on their conclusions, the Trustees determined with respect to each Fund that continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

 

In approving the Funds’ respective Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board considered various factors with respect to each Fund and the applicable Sub-Advisory Agreement, among them: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund, including the personnel providing such services; (2) the Sub-Advisor’s compensation; (3) a comparison of the sub-advisory fee and performance with other advisers; and (4) the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. With respect to the New Sub-Advisory Agreement relating to Touchstone Mid CapValue Opportunities, the Board considered, among other factors: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Lee Munder, including the personnel who would be providing such services; (2) Lee Munder’s proposed compensation; (3) Lee Munder’s past performance with respect to Touchstone Mid Cap Value Fund; and (4) the terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board’s analysis of these factors is set forth below. The Independent Trustees were advised by independent legal counsel throughout the process.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided; Investment Personnel. The Board considered information provided by the Advisor regarding the services provided by each Sub-Advisor, including information presented periodically throughout the previous year.The Board noted that, on a periodic basis, the Board meets with portfolio managers of the Sub-Advisors to discuss their respective performance and investment processes and strategies. With respect to Lee Munder, the Board also noted its familiarity with the firm owing to Lee Munder’s management of the Touchstone Mid Cap Value Fund. The Board also considered each Sub-Advisor’s level of knowledge and investment style. The Board reviewed the experience and credentials of the applicable investment personnel who are responsible for managing the investment of portfolio securities with respect to the Funds. The Board also noted each Sub-Advisor’s brokerage practices.

 

Sub-Advisor’s Compensation, Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board also took into consideration the financial condition of each Sub-Advisor, including Lee Munder, and any indirect benefits derived by each Sub-Advisor and its affiliates from the Sub-Advisor’s relationship with the Funds. In considering the profitability to each Sub-Advisor of its relationship with the Funds, the Board noted the undertaking of the Advisor to maintain expense limitations for the Funds and also noted that the sub-advisory fees under the Sub-Advisory Agreements were paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fees that it receives under the Investment Advisory Agreement and are negotiated at arm’s-length. As a consequence, the profitability to each Sub-Advisor of its relationship with a Fund was not a substantial factor in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in each Sub-Advisor’s management of the applicable Fund to be a substantial factor in its consideration, although the Board noted that the sub-advisory fee schedule for some

Other Items (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

of the Funds, including the proposed sub-advisory fee for the Touchstone Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund, contained breakpoints that would reduce the sub-advisory fee rate on assets above specified levels as the applicable Fund’s assets increased.

 

Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Performance. The Board considered that each Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor and that the Advisor pays the sub-advisory fee to the Sub-Advisor out of the advisory fee it receives from the respective Fund. The Board also compared the sub-advisory fees paid by the Advisor to fees charged by each Sub-Advisor, including Lee Munder, to manage comparable institutional separate accounts. The Board considered the amount retained by the Advisor and the sub-advisory fee paid to each Sub-Advisor with respect to the various services provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor. The Board also noted that the Advisor negotiated the sub-advisory fee with each of the Sub-Advisors at arm’s-length. The Board reviewed the sub-advisory fee for each Fund in relation to various comparative data, including the median and average sub-advisory fees of each Fund’s peer group, and considered the following information:

 

Touchstone International Small Cap Fund. The Fund’s sub-advisory fee was below the median of its peer group. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services received by the Fund from the Sub-Advisor and the other factors considered.

 

Touchstone Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund. The Board took into account that the proposed sub-advisory fee to be paid to Lee Munder by the Advisor under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement was identical to the current sub-advisory fee Lee Munder was paid for managing the Touchstone Mid Cap Value Fund. The Touchstone Mid Cap Value Fund’s sub-advisory fee was above the median of its peer group. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services to be received by the Fund from Lee Munder.

 

Touchstone Small Cap Value Opportunities Fund. The Fund’s sub-advisory fee was above the median of its peer group. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services received by the Fund from the Sub-Advisor and the other factors considered.

 

Touchstone Value Fund. The Fund’s sub-advisory fee was below the median of its peer group. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services received by the Fund from the Sub-Advisor and the other factors considered.

 

Conclusion. In considering the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund and the initial approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to Touchstone Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board reached the following conclusions regarding each Sub-Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Sub-Advisor is qualified to manage each Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment goals and policies; (b) the Sub-Advisor maintains an appropriate compliance program; (c) the overall performance of each Fund is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and relevant indices or, as discussed above, is being addressed; (d) each Fund’s sub-advisory fee is reasonable in light of the services received by the Fund from the Sub-Advisor and the other factors considered; and (e) the Sub-Advisor’s investment strategies are appropriate for pursuing the investment goals of each Fund. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to Touchstone Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
