Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2019 (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 an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated November 18, 1982. The Trust consists of twenty funds, including the following three funds (individually, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”):

 

Touchstone Dynamic Equity Fund (“Dynamic Equity Fund”) 

Touchstone Dynamic Diversified Income Fund (“Dynamic Diversified Income Fund”) 

Touchstone Dynamic Global Allocation Fund (“Dynamic Global Allocation Fund”)

 

Each Fund is diversified. Additionally, the Dynamic Diversified Income Fund and Dynamic Global Allocation Fund (collectively, the “Allocation Funds”) are “Funds of Funds”, sub-advised by Wilshire Associates Incorporated, which seek to achieve their investment goals by primarily investing in a diversified portfolio of affiliated and unaffiliated underlying equity, fixed income and alternative funds. These underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”), in turn, invest in a variety of U.S. and foreign equity and fixed-income securities. Under normal circumstances, the Allocation Funds expect to invest their assets among equity, fixed-income and alternative funds in the following ranges:

 

    Equity Fund
Allocation
  Fixed-Income
Fund Allocation
  Alternative
Fund Allocation
Dynamic Diversified Income Fund   25-55%   25-55%   0-30%
Dynamic Global Allocation Fund   45-75%   25-55%   N/A

 

The investment goal of each of the Underlying Funds that the Allocation Funds invested in is as follows:

 

Fund   Investment Goal
Touchstone Anti-Benchmark® International Core Equity Fund   Seeks capital appreciation.
Touchstone Credit Opportunities Fund   Seeks absolute total return, primarily from income and capital appreciation.
Touchstone Flexible Income Fund   Seeks total return through a combination of income and capital appreciation.
Touchstone Growth Opportunities Fund   Seeks long-term growth of capital.
Touchstone High Yield Fund   Seeks to achieve a high level of income as its main goal. Capital appreciation is a secondary consideration.

Touchstone International Small Cap Fund   Seeks to provide investors with capital appreciation.
Touchstone Mid Cap Fund   Seeks long-term capital growth.
Touchstone Premium Yield Equity Fund   Seeks long-term growth of capital and high current income.

The Agreement and Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of each Fund. The Dynamic Equity Fund is registered to offer the following classes of shares: Class A shares, Class C shares, Class Y shares, and Institutional Class shares. The Allocation Funds are registered to offer the following classes of shares: Class A shares, Class C shares and Class Y 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 goal, 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:

 

Each Fund is an investment company that follows the accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies.

 

Security valuation and fair value measurements — U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. All investments in securities are recorded at their 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. U.S. GAAP fair value measurement standards require disclosure of a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods.

 

These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

30

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

· 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.

 

The aggregate value by input level, as of June 30, 2019, for each Fund’s investments, is included in the Funds’ Portfolio of Investments, which also includes a breakdown of the Funds’ investments by sector allocation. The Funds did not hold or transfer Level 3 categorized securities during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

 

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

 

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 or at the time as of which the NYSE establishes official closing prices). Portfolio securities traded on stock exchanges are valued at the last reported sale price, official close price, or last bid price if no sales are reported. Portfolio securities quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) or from the primary exchange on which the security trades. To the extent these securities are actively traded, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Options are valued at the last quoted sales price. If there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, long option positions are valued at the most recent bid price, and short option positions are valued at the most recent ask price on the valuation date and are categorized in Level 1. Shares of mutual funds in which the Funds invest are valued at their respective net asset value (“NAV”) as reported by the Underlying Funds and are categorized in Level 1.

 

Securities mainly traded on a non-U.S. exchange or denominated in foreign currencies are generally valued according to the preceding closing values on that exchange, translated to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE, and are generally categorized in Level 1. 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 and is generally categorized in Level 2. This may cause the value of the security, if held on the books of a Fund, to be different from the closing value on the non-U.S. exchange and may affect the calculation of that Fund’s NAV.

 

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.

 

Securities held by the Funds that do not have readily available market quotations, significant observable inputs, or securities for which the available market quotations are not reliable, are priced at their estimated fair value using procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and are generally categorized in Level 3.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Allocation Funds — The Allocation Funds invest in securities of affiliated and unaffiliated funds, the Underlying Funds. The value of an investment in the Allocation Funds is based on the performance of the Underlying Funds in which they invest and the allocation of their assets among those funds. Because the Allocation Funds invest in mutual funds, shareholders of the Allocation Funds indirectly bear a proportionate share of the expenses charged by the Underlying Funds in which they invest as well as their share of the Allocation Funds’ fees and expenses. The principal risks of an investment in the Allocation Funds include the principal risks of investing in the Underlying Funds.

 

Investment companies — The Funds may invest in securities of other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”), 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 (“OTC”). 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. An ETN is an investment company that typically seeks to track the performance of an index, similar to an ETF, but it does not hold any securities that it tracks. ETF and ETN shares 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 the other investment companies invest. Investments in ETFs, ETNs and closed-end funds are subject to the additional risk that their shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV. Investments in ETNs are also subject to credit risk similar to other debt securities. 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 Fund’s fees and expenses.

 

Cash and cash equivalents — The Funds consider liquid assets deposited with a bank, money market funds, and certain short term debt instruments with maturities of 3 months or less to be cash equivalents and are included in the investments on the financial statements. These investments represent amounts held with financial institutions that are readily accessible to pay Fund expenses or investments. Cash and cash equivalents are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. The value of cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies is determined by converting to U.S. dollars on the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Securities sold short — The Dynamic Equity Fund may engage in selling securities short, which obligates the Fund to replace a security borrowed by purchasing the same security at the current market value. The Fund would incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund would realize a gain if the price of the security declines between those dates. As of June 30, 2019, the Dynamic Equity Fund had securities sold short with a fair value of $(8,618,423) and pledged securities with a fair value of $52,877,533 as collateral and pledged cash collateral of $233,476 for both securities sold short and written options.

 

Options — The Dynamic Equity Fund may write or purchase financial option contracts primarily to hedge against changes in the value of equity securities (or securities that the Fund intends to purchase), against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates and against changes in overall equity market volatility. In addition, the Fund may utilize options in an attempt to generate gains from option premiums or to reduce overall portfolio risk. The Fund’s option strategy primarily focuses on the use of writing and/or purchasing call or put options on equity indexes. When the Fund writes or purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the Fund is recorded as a liability or an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written or purchased. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options which expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on effecting

a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of the purchase or proceeds from the sale in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss on investment transactions. The Fund, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. The Fund, as purchaser of an option, bears the risk that the counterparties to the option may not have the ability to meet the terms of the option contracts. There is minimal counterparty credit risk involved in entering into option contracts since they are exchange-traded instruments and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded options, guarantees the options against default. The maximum risk of loss associated with writing put options is the notional amount as presented in the Portfolio of Investments. In certain circumstances, the maximum risk of loss amounts may be partially offset by recovery values of the respective referenced assets and upfront premium received upon entering into the contract. The maximum risk of loss associated with writing call options is potentially unlimited. As of June 30, 2019, the Dynamic Equity Fund had written options with a fair value of $(707,871) and pledged securities with a fair value of $52,877,533 as collateral and pledged cash collateral of $233,476 for both securities sold short and written options.

 

Real Estate Investment Trusts — The Dynamic Equity Fund may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) that involve risks not associated with investing in stocks. Risks associated with investments in REITs include declines in the value of real estate, general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property and defaults by borrowers. The value of assets in the real estate industry may go through cycles of relative underperformance and outperformance in comparison to equity securities markets in general. Dividend income is recorded using management’s estimate of the income included in distributions received from REIT investments. The actual amounts of income, return of capital and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end and may differ from the estimated amount. Estimates of income are adjusted in the Fund to the actual amounts when the amounts are determined.

 

Derivative instruments and hedging activities — For financial reporting purposes, the Dynamic Equity Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Portfolio securities loaned — The Funds may lend their portfolio securities. Lending portfolio securities exposes the Funds 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 loaned securities 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 short-term investment vehicle. The approved short-term investment vehicle is subject to market risk.

 

As of June 30, 2019, the following Funds loaned securities and received collateral as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

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

 

Funds participating in securities lending receive compensation in the form of fees. Securities lending income is derived from lending long securities from the Funds to creditworthy approved borrowers at rates that are determined based on daily trading volumes, float, short-term interest rates and market liquidity and is shown net of fees on the Statements of Operations. When a Fund lends securities, it retains the interest or dividends on the investment of any cash received as collateral, and the Fund continues to receive interest or dividends on the loaned securities.

 

Unrealized gain or loss on the market value of the loaned securities that may occur during the term of the loan is recognized by the Fund. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover any loaned 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.

 

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 5.26% of the NAV (or 5.00% of the offering price). There is no sales load on purchases when aggregate purchases in all Touchstone funds equal at least $1 million. The maximum offering price per share of Classes C, 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 purchase due to the aggregate purchase amount in all Touchstone funds equaling at least $1 million where a Finder’s Fee was paid may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of up to 1.00% if redeemed within a one-year period from the date of purchase. Additionally, purchases of Class C shares of the Funds may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if redeemed within one year from the date of purchase. The CDSC will be assessed on an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the NAV at the time of purchase of the shares being redeemed or (2) the NAV of such shares being redeemed.

 

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 from securities 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. The Dynamic Equity Fund declares and distributes net investment income, if any, annually as a dividend to shareholders. The Allocation Funds each declare and distribute net investment income, if any, quarterly 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 from investments in Underlying Funds is affected by the timing of dividend declarations by the 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, Touchstone Funds Group Trust, Touchstone Institutional Funds Trust and Touchstone Variable Series Trust (collectively with the Trust, “Touchstone Fund Complex”), daily in relation to net assets of each Fund or another reasonable measure.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

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.

 

3. Investment Transactions

4. Transactions with Affiliates and Other Related Parties

 

Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of Touchstone Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”), Touchstone Securities, Inc. (the “Underwriter”), or The Bank of New York Mellon, the Sub-Administrator to the Funds, and BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc., the Transfer Agent to the Funds (collectively referenced to herein as “BNY Mellon”). Such officers receive no compensation from the Trust. The Advisor and the Underwriter are each wholly-owned subsidiaries of Western & Southern Financial Group, Inc.

 

On behalf of the Funds, the Advisor pays each Independent Trustee a quarterly retainer plus additional retainers to the Lead Independent Trustee and the chairs of each standing committee. Interested Trustees do not receive compensation from the Funds. Each Independent Trustee also receives compensation for each Board meeting and committee meeting attended. Each standing committee chair receives additional compensation for each committee meeting that he or she oversees. The Advisor is reimbursed by the Funds for the Independent Trustees’ compensation and out-of-pocket expenses relating to their services. The Funds accrued Trustee-related expenses of $22,143 for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

 

MANAGEMENT & EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENTS

 

The Advisor provides general investment supervisory services for the Funds under the terms of an advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”).

These fees may vary based on, for example, the nature of services provided, but generally range up to 0.15% of the assets of the class serviced or maintained by the intermediary or up to $22 per sub-account maintained by the intermediary.

 

PLANS OF DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEE ARRANGEMENTS

 

The Trust has adopted distribution plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for each class of shares it offers that is subject to 12b-1 distribution fees. The plans allow each Fund to pay distribution and other fees for the sale and distribution of its shares and for services provided to shareholders. The fees charged to the Funds are limited to the actual expenses incurred. Under the Class A plan, each Fund offering Class A shares pays an annual fee of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets that are attributable to Class A shares. Under the Class C plan, each Fund offering Class C shares pays an annual fee not to exceed 1.00% of average daily net assets that are attributable to Class C shares (of which up to 0.75% is a distribution fee and up to 0.25% is a shareholder servicing fee).

5. Liquidity

 

ReFlow Fund LLC — The Funds may participate in the ReFlow Fund LLC liquidity program (“ReFlow”), which is designed to provide an alternative liquidity source for funds experiencing redemptions. In order to pay cash to shareholders who redeem their shares on a given day, a fund typically must hold cash in its portfolio, liquidate portfolio securities, or borrow money. ReFlow provides participating funds with another source of cash by standing ready to purchase shares from a fund up to the amount of the fund’s net redemptions on a given day, cumulatively limited to 3% of the outstanding voting shares of a Fund. ReFlow then generally redeems those shares when the fund experiences net sales. In return for this service, the Fund will pay a fee to ReFlow at a rate determined by a daily auction with other participating mutual funds.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Funds did not utilize ReFlow.

 

Interfund Lending — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC on March 28, 2017, the Funds, along with certain other funds in the Touchstone Fund Complex, may participate in an interfund lending program. The interfund lending program provides an alternate credit facility that allows the Funds to lend to or borrow from other participating funds in the Touchstone Fund Complex, subject to the conditions of the

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Exemptive Order. The Funds may not borrow under the facility for leverage purposes and the loans’ duration may be no more than 7 days.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the following Funds participated as borrowers in the interfund lending program. The daily average amount borrowed, weighted average interest rate and interest expense were as follows:

 

Fund  Daily Average
Amount Borrowed
   Weighted

Dynamic Equity Fund  $183,657    2.98%  $2,749 

 

*Included in Other expenses in the Statements of Operations.

 

6. 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 years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is as follows:

The following information is computed on a tax basis for each item as of December 31, 2018:

 

   Dynamic
Equity Fund
   Dynamic Diversified
Income Fund
   Dynamic Global

Tax cost of portfolio investments  $108,942,777   $52,474,058   $97,203,964 
Gross unrealized appreciation on investments   686,346    65,779    338,418 
Gross unrealized depreciation on investments   (9,802,773)   (4,626,742)   (11,969,860)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments   (9,116,427)   (4,560,963)   (11,631,442)
Gross unrealized appreciation on short sales   1,910,311         
Gross unrealized depreciation on short sales   (331,367)        
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on short sales   1,578,944         
Undistributed ordinary income   2,959,798    67,585    53,154 
Undistributed capital gains   4,291,796        1,307,990 
Distributable earnings (deficit)  $(285,889)  $(4,493,378)  $(10,270,298)

 

The difference between the tax cost of portfolio investments and the financial statement cost is primarily due to wash sale loss deferrals and a non-taxable distribution basis outstanding.

7. 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.

 

8. Principal Risks

 

Risks Associated with Credit — An issuer may be unable to make timely payments of either principal or interest. This may cause the issuer’s securities to decline in value. Credit risk is particularly relevant to those Funds that invest a significant amount of their assets in junk bonds or lower-rated securities.

 

Risks Associated with Interest Rate Changes — The price of debt securities is generally linked to the prevailing market interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, the price of debt securities falls, and when interest rates fall, the price of debt securities rises. The price volatility of a debt security also depends on its maturity. Longer-term securities are generally more volatile, so the longer the average maturity or duration of these securities, the greater their price risk. Duration is a measure of the expected life, taking into account any prepayment or call features of the security, that is used to determine the price sensitivity of the security for a given change in interest rates. Specifically, duration is the change in the value of a fixed-income security that will result from a 1% change in interest rates, and generally is stated in years. For example, as a general rule a 1% rise in interest rates means a 1% fall in value for every year of duration. Maturity, on the other hand, is the date on which a fixed-income security becomes due for payment of principal. The negative impact on fixed income securities if interest rates increase as a result could negatively impact a Fund’s NAV.

 

Risks Associated with Leverage — By investing the proceeds received from selling securities short, the Dynamic Equity Fund is employing leverage, which creates special risks. The use of leverage may increase the Fund’s exposure to long or short equity positions and may cause the Fund’s NAV to be more volatile than if the Fund had not used leverage. This could result in increased volatility of returns.

 

Please see the Funds’ prospectus for a complete discussion of these and other risks.

9. Fund Mergers

 

Dynamic Diversified Income Fund:

 

At a meeting held on February 12, 2019, the Board approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization providing for the transfer of all assets and liabilities of the Touchstone Controlled Growth with Income Fund to the Touchstone Dynamic Diversified Income Fund, a series of the Trust. The tax-free reorganization took place May 10, 2019.

 

The following is a summary of shares outstanding, net assets, net asset value per share and unrealized depreciation immediately before and after the tax-free reorganization.

(A) Reflects a 0.8288:1 reverse stock split which occurred on the date of reorganization, May 10, 2019.

(B) Reflects a 0.8213:1 reverse stock split which occurred on the date of reorganization, May 10, 2019.

(C) Reflects a 0.8266:1 reverse stock split which occurred on the date of reorganization, May 10, 2019.

 

Assuming this reorganization had been completed on January 1, 2019, the Dynamic Diversified Income Fund’s results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 would have been as follows:

 

Net investment income  $1,306,257 
Net realized and unrealized gain on investments  $6,369,454 
Net increase in asset from operations  $7,675,711 

 

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single portfolio since the reorganization was completed, it is not practical to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings to the Dynamic Diversified Income Fund that have been included in its statement of operations since the reorganization.

 

10. Subsequent Events

 

Subsequent events occurring after the date of this report have been evaluated for potential impact to this report through the date the financial statements were issued. There were no subsequent events that necessitated recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Proxy Voting Guidelines and Proxy Voting Records

 

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 TouchstoneInvestments.com or on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “Commission”) website sec.gov. Information regarding how those proxies were voted during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, which will be filed by August 31 of that year, is also available without charge by calling toll free 1.800.543.0407 or on the Commission’s website at 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-PORT. The information will be publicly available 60 days after the end of the period. The complete listing of each Fund’s portfolio holdings is available on the Commission’s website and will be made available to shareholders upon request by calling 1.800.543.0407.

 

Schedule of Shareholder Expenses

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads); 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 (January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019).

 

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 June 30, 2019” 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 below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line for each share class of a Fund in 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.

*Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect one-half year period).
**Excluding interest and dividend expenses on securities sold short, your actual cost of investment in Class A, Class C, Class Y and Institutional Class would be $8.00, $11.85, $6.72 and $6.46, respectively, and your hypothetical cost of investment in Class A, Class C, Class Y and Institutional Class would be $7.75, $11.48, $6.51, and $6.26, respectively.
***The annualized expense ratios for the Allocation Funds do not include fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds in which the Allocation Funds invest.
