Touchstone Investments Tracking for Record Active ETF Growth

Touchstone Investments, known for its Distinctively Active ^® mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs), celebrates a number of growth milestones: in the last six months, the firm has launched three new ETFs, celebrated four ETFs hitting important 3-year anniversaries, welcomed two new leaders to grow its presence within the RIA channel, and appointed a successor President. Touchstone has also surpassed its ETF sales goal for the year – eclipsing over $250 million at the mid-year mark.

• New ETF offerings : In the first quarter of the year, Touchstone launched three new ETFs: the Touchstone Sands Capital US Select Growth ETF (TSEL: NASDAQ), sub-advised by Sands Capital Management (Sands Capital); the Touchstone Sands Capital Emerging Markets ex-China Growth ETF (TEMX: CBOE BZX), sub-advised by Sands Capital; and the Touchstone International Equity ETF (TLCI: NYSE Arca), sub-advised by The London Company. The firm also filed for ETF share class exemptive relief, reinforcing its commitment to offering investors access to more innovative investment options to help them reach their financial goals.
• ETF milestones : Four of Touchstone’s active ETFs have hit their 3-year anniversaries, reflective of their ability to address today’s market challenges with a focus on delivering meaningful results.
  • Touchstone Dividend Select ETF (DVND: NYSE Arca): DVND is sub-advised by Fort Washington Investment Advisors (FWIA) and seeks to deliver a high level of current income by investing in large cap dividend paying companies, constructed with an emphasis on sustainability and quality. DVND delivered a 2.06% 30-day SEC yield as of 6.30.25.
  • Touchstone Ultra Short Income ETF (TUSI: CBOE BZX): Sub-advised by FWIA, TUSI offers an actively managed approach to short-duration income. TUSI has adapted to changing market conditions, outperforming money market funds over time with a 4.43% 30-day SEC yield as of 6.30.25.
  • Touchstone US Large Cap Focused ETF (LCF: CBOE BZX): Sub-advised by FWIA, LCF seeks capital appreciation through a focused approach to investing in U.S.-listed equity securities, targeting pricing power and long-term moats. LCF has strong performance within its category reflecting its conviction-led approach.
  • Touchstone Strategic Income ETF (SIO: NYSE Arca): Sub-advised by FWIA, SIO offers multi-sector income with active risk control – ideal for replacing underperforming core bonds. As of 6/30/25, the ETF offered a 5.00% 30-day SEC yield.
• Leadership team expansions : Following Ben Alge’s promotion to President earlier this year, Touchstone has welcomed two leaders to bolster the firm’s RIA expertise:
  • Mike Day, Divisional Vice President : Mike will oversee the firm’s Institutional Business Development team and will be integral in expanding Touchstone’s reach within the institutional and RIA channels. He rejoins the firm with nearly two decades of leadership experience, including at Hartford Funds and Advisors Asset Management.
  • James Kissane, Director, Senior Strategic Relationship Officer : Jim is responsible for the distribution of Touchstone Funds to institutional markets and national partnership programs throughout the U.S. He brings over 20 years of experience in managing relationships with independent broker dealers, independent advisors and RIAs, most recently as a National Accounts Manager at Columbia Threadneedle.

These hirings reflect the firm’s commitment to strengthening its distribution efforts and growing its presence within the RIA channel to serve as an active partner for financial professionals. In 2024, the firm enhanced its industry-leading Practice Management Consulting Program with innovations that included expanded tools and advanced impact-tracking methodology. This resulted in over $1.25 billion in sales attributable to advisers participating in the program, representing 36% of Touchstone’s total retail sales.

“The consistent momentum we’ve seen over the last few years, and past six months especially, reinforces our focus on strengthening our ETF offerings and solidifying our position as an ideal partner for financial professionals looking to optimize and scale their practices,” said Ben Alge, President of Touchstone Investments. “The launches of DVND, TUSI, LCF and SIO marked Touchstone’s entrance into the ETF marketplace three years ago – to now celebrate their anniversaries alongside our suite of 10 total ETFs is a reflection of our deliberate and meaningful growth in the ETF marketplace.”

“We’re thrilled to welcome Mike and James to Touchstone and look forward to harnessing their deep RIA expertise as we continue to expand our offerings, strengthen our existing relationships and forge new partnerships, while paving the way for continued evolution,” added Alge.

A Word About Risk

The Fund invests in equities which are subject to market volatility and loss. The Fund invests in stocks of large-cap companies which may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges. The Fund invests in foreign securities which carry the associated risks of economic and political instability, market liquidity, currency volatility and accounting standards that differ from those of U.S. markets and may offer less protection to investors.

The Fund invests in foreign securities, including depositary receipts, such as American Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts, and European Depositary Receipts, which carry the associated risks of economic and political instability, market liquidity, currency volatility and accounting standards that differ from those of U.S. markets and may offer less protection to investors. The Adviser engages a sub-adviser to make investment decisions for the Fund’s portfolio; it may be unable to identify and retain a sub-adviser who achieves superior investment returns relative to other similar sub-advisers. Events in the U.S. and global financial markets, including actions taken to stimulate or stabilize economic growth may at times result in unusually high market volatility, which could negatively impact Fund performance and cause it to experience illiquidity, shareholder redemptions, or other potentially adverse effects. Banks and financial services companies could suffer losses if interest rates rise or economic conditions deteriorate.

The Fund may focus its investments in specific sectors and therefore is subject to the risk that adverse circumstances will have greater impact on the fund than on the fund that does not do so. Touchstone exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are actively managed and do not seek to replicate a specific index. ETFs are bought and sold through an exchange at the then current market price, not net asset value (NAV), and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV when traded on an exchange. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. There can be no guarantee that an active market for ETFs will develop or be maintained, or that the ETF’s listing will continue or remain unchanged. The Fund’s service providers are susceptible to cyber security risks that could result in losses to a Fund and its shareholders. Cyber security incidents could affect issuers in which a Fund invests, thereby causing the Fund’s investments to lose value.

Please consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund carefully before investing. The prospectus and the summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Fund.
