Touchstone Small Company Fund 

The fund's core objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation for its investors. It commits a substantial portion—at least 80% of its total assets—to enterprises classified as small-capitalization companies. These smaller firms are specifically defined by market values that align with the constituents of the Russell 2000® Index. The sub-advisor employs a rigorous selection process, targeting businesses that demonstrate exceptional quality, possess distinctive business models, are led by robust management teams, exhibit potential for enduring growth, and are currently valued attractively. Furthermore, the fund retains complete discretion to invest in international securities without any imposed limitations.
