Touchstone Sands Capital Emerging Markets Growth Fund

Overall Morningstar Rating^TM

Diversified Emerging Mkts

Morningstar

Overall Morningstar Rating^TM is calculated against 708 funds in the Diversified Emerging Mkts category.

The Morningstar Rating^TM for funds, or “star rating,” is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds and separate accounts) with at least a 3-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating^TM does not include any adjustment for sales load. The top 10% of products in each product category receive five stars, the next 22.5% receive four stars, the next 35% receive three stars, the next 22.5% receive two stars, and the bottom 10% receive one star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its 3-, 5- and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% 3-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% 5-year rating/40% 3-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% 5-year rating/20% 3-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent 3-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods.

Class A Shares star ratings do not include any front-end sales load and are intended for those investors who have access to such purchase terms.

Active Share

Active Share measures the percentage of the Fund’s holdings that differ from those of the benchmark. It is calculated by taking the sum of the absolute difference between all of the holdings and weights in the portfolio and those of the benchmark holdings and weights and dividing the results by two.

Active		Closet Index		Passive
100%-80%	80%-60%	60%-40%	40%-20%	20%-0%

Generally, a Fund with an active share of more than 60% is considered actively managed. Active Share is not a performance measurement. A high degree of Active Share does not assure outperformance of a fund relative to its benchmark index.

A WORD ABOUT RISK

The Fund invests in equities which are subject to market volatility and loss. The Fund invests in foreign, emerging and frontier market securities, depositary receipts such as ADRs, GDRs and EDRs which carry the associated risks of economic and political instability, market liquidity, currency volatility and differences in accounting standards. The risks associated with investing in foreign markets are magnified in emerging markets and further magnified in frontier markets due to their smaller economies. The Fund invests in stocks of large-cap companies which may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges. The Fund invests in stocks of small- and mid-cap companies, which may be subject to more erratic market movements than stocks of larger, more established companies. The Fund invests in growth stocks which may be more volatile than investing in other stocks and may underperform when value investing is in favor. The Fund invests in preferred stocks which are relegated below bonds for payment should the issuer be liquidated. The fixed dividend may be less attractive in a rising interest rate market. The Fund invests in derivatives including options and equity-related securities such as in low-exercise-price options (“LEPOs”), low exercise price warrants (“LEPWs”) and participatory notes (“P-notes”) which are offshore derivative instruments used to gain exposure to issuers in certain emerging and frontier market countries. The risks of investing in LEPOs, LEPWs and P-notes are similar to the risks of investing in foreign securities and depositary receipts. These securities may lack a liquid market, are subject to correlation, liquidity, counterparty and leverage risks which could result in increased volatility of returns as well as losses. The Fund invests in options which can be highly volatile, may lack liquidity and may result in losses. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a limited number of issuers and may be subject to greater risks. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk. The Advisor engages a sub-advisor to make investment decisions for the Fund’s portfolio; it may be unable to identify and retain a sub-advisor who achieves superior investment returns relative to other similar sub-advisors.
