Asset Classes

Touchstone’s commitment to being DISTINCTIVELY ACTIVE® encompasses a broad spectrum of funds. Some funds pursue their respective objectives by investing in specified asset classes. An asset class is a category of securities that exhibit common characteristics, behave similarly in the marketplace and often operate under the same laws and regulations.

U.S. Equity Funds

A U.S. equity fund is a fund that invests primarily in stocks issued by U.S. corporations. Equity funds aim to provide long-term growth and/or income. In exchange for growth, however, investors are likely to experience more ups and downs in the value of an investment.

These funds may focus on certain capitalization ranges or may have a specific investment style. Touchstone's U.S. equity funds tend to look dramatically different from their benchmarks and their portfolios each provides a differentiated perspective.

International Equity Funds

More than half of the world’s companies reside outside of the U.S. An international equity fund is a mutual fund that invests primarily in stocks issued by foreign corporations which allow investors to tap into the growth potential of foreign companies. International equity funds strive to provide long-term growth and/or income. In exchange for growth, however, investors are likely to experience more ups and downs in the value of an investment as well as certain risks that may not be present in U.S. securities. These funds may focus on certain capitalization ranges, geographic regions or may have a specific investment style. Touchstone’s international equity funds tend to look dramatically different from their benchmarks and their portfolios each provide a differentiated perspective.

Income Funds

An income fund is a fund that seeks to generate an income stream (typically monthly or quarterly) by investing primarily in securities that offer dividends or interest payments. The funds can hold bonds, preferred stock, common stock or even real estate investment trusts (REITs). By potentially holding hundreds of bonds in a single fund, investors get broader diversification than if they bought individual bonds. Some income funds only invest in securities with certain types of coupons, certain types of issuers, certain types of trading characteristics, certain types of credit ratings, etc. Others may invest in a variety of different income categories. Touchstone’s actively managed income funds may not be correlated with other traditional investments (stocks and cash equivalents). When included in a well-balanced portfolio, income funds may help balance the risks associated with other traditional asset classes.

Income Funds

Multi-Asset Funds

Multi-asset funds differ from “traditional” funds because they target a specific investment outcome. While there are many versions, multi-asset funds typically have a strategic asset allocation that focuses on specific investment outcomes with targeted exposures, crafted from a wide and deep spectrum of asset classes, factors, styles and investment managers. These characteristics may result in portfolios with broad access to a flexible range of investments that can be adept with market environment changes, while carefully managing risk. Touchstone’s multi-asset funds are dynamically managed in an effort to meet their risk/return objectives.

Multi-Asset Funds

Investment return and principal value of an investment in a Fund will fluctuate so that investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. All investing involves risk.
