Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2012 (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 under a Declaration of Trust dated November 18, 1982. The Trust consists of twenty two funds including the following six funds, individually, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”:

Touchstone Capital Growth Fund (“Capital Growth Fund”)

Touchstone International Small Cap Fund (“International Small Cap Fund”)

Touchstone Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund (“Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund”)

Touchstone Small Cap Value Opportunities Fund (“Small Cap Value Opportunities Fund”)

Touchstone U.S. Long/Short Fund (“U.S. Long/Short Fund”)

Touchstone Value Fund (“Value Fund”)

Each Fund is an open-end, diversified management investment company, with the exception of Capital Growth Fund and Value Fund, each of which is an open-end, non-diversified management investment company.

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of each Fund. The Funds are registered to offer different classes of shares: Class A shares, Class C shares, Class Y shares, and Institutional Class 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 objectives, 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:

Security valuation and fair value measurements — All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. The Funds define the term “market value”, as used throughout this annual report, as the estimated fair value. The Funds use various methods to measure fair value of their portfolio securities on a recurring basis. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) establish a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• 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. For example, money market instruments are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the 1940 Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

The aggregate value by input level, as of December 31, 2012, for each Fund’s investments, as well as a reconciliation of assets for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, if applicable, is included in each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments, which also includes a breakdown of the Fund’s investments by geographic/industry concentration. The Funds did not hold any Level 3 categorized securities during the six months ended December 31, 2012.

51

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

All transfers in and out of the levels are recognized at the value at the end of the period. During the six months ended December 31, 2012, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 for all Funds.

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). Portfolio securities traded on stock exchanges are valued at the last sale price, and to the extent these securities are actively traded, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Portfolio securities quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Securities not traded on a particular day, or for which the last sale price is not readily available, are valued at their last broker-quoted bid prices as obtained from one or more of the major market makers for such securities by an independent pricing service and are categorized in Level 2. Money market instruments and other debt securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value and are categorized in Level 2. While this method provides consistency in valuation (and may only be used if it approximates market value), it may result in periods during which value, as determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower than the price that would be received if the Fund sold the investment. Securities for which market quotations or the NOCP are not readily available are fair valued as determined by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees and are categorized in Level 3. Shares of open end mutual funds in which the Funds invest are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by the underlying funds and are categorized in Level 1. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and translated into U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates.

Level 2 Valuation— Securities mainly traded on a non-U.S. exchange are generally valued according to the preceding closing values on that exchange. 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. This may cause the value of the security on the books of the Fund to be significantly different from the closing value on the non-U.S. exchange and may affect the calculation of the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Funds. Any debt securities held by the Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are generally priced at their most recent bid prices as obtained from one or more of the major market makers for such securities.

Level 3 Valuation— Securities held by the Funds that do not have readily available market quotations, or securities for which the available market quotations are not reliable, are priced at their fair values using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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.

New accounting pronouncements — In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. ASU No. 2011-11 requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under the International Financial Reporting Standards. The new disclosure requirements mandate that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of assets and liabilities as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, ASU No. 2011-11 requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. New disclosures

52

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2011-11 on the financial statements and disclosures.

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 statement of assets and liabilities.

Futures Contracts — A fund may buy and sell futures contracts and related options to manage its exposure to changing interest rates and securities prices. Some strategies reduce a Fund’s exposure to price fluctuations, while others tend to increase its market exposure. Futures and options on futures can be volatile instruments and involve certain risks that could negatively impact a Fund’s return. In order to avoid leveraging and related risks, when a Fund purchases futures contracts, it will collateralize its position by depositing an amount of cash or liquid securities, equal to the market value of the futures positions held, less margin deposits, in a segregated account with its custodian or otherwise “cover” its position in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act or the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission interpretations thereunder. Collateral equal to the current market value of the futures position will be marked to market on a daily basis.

When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of ) the closing transactions and the Fund’s basis in the contract. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying instruments. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market resulting in an inability to close a futures position prior to its maturity date. Third, the purchase of a futures contract involves the risk that the funds could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate the futures transaction. Finally, the risk exists that losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. There is minimal counterparty credit risk involved in entering into futures contracts since they are exchange-traded instruments and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

Securities sold short — The U.S. Long/Short Fund engages 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 December 31, 2012, the Fund had securities sold short with a fair value of ($2,512,748) and had securities with a fair value of $14,607,797 held as collateral for securities sold short.

Foreign currency translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars and translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(1) market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange on the valuation date; and

(2) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments in equity securities that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities.

Derivative instruments and hedging activities — The International Small Cap Fund held derivative instruments during the six months ended December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2012, the International Small Cap Fund did not hold any derivative instruments.

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, the average quarterly balance of outstanding derivative financial instruments were as follows:

* Statements of Operations Location: Net realized gain on warrants and net realized gain (loss) on future transactions.

** Statements of Operations Location: Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.

Portfolio securities loaned — Each Fund may lend its portfolio securities. Lending portfolio securities exposes a Fund 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 Fund 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 in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned 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 investment vehicle.

As of December 31, 2012, the following Funds loaned securities and received collateral as follows:

	Market		Market
	Value of		Value of
	Securities		Collateral
Fund	Loaned		Received
International Small Cap Fund	$	1,542,936	$	1,601,443
Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund		5,742,445		6,249,304
Small Cap Value Opportunities Fund		8,566,841		8,660,912

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

Funds participating in securities lending receive compensation in the form of fees, or retain a portion of interest or dividends on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Funds also continue to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned.

Unrealized gain or loss on the market value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan is recognized by the Funds. The Funds have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

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 net asset value per share plus a sales load equal to 6.10% of the net asset value (or 5.75% of the offering price). There is no sales load on purchases of $1 million or more of Class A shares. The maximum offering price per share of Class C, Class Y, and Institutional Class shares of the Funds is equal to the net asset value per share.

The redemption price per share of each class of shares of the Funds is generally equal to the net asset value per share. However, Class A redemptions that were part of a no load $1 million subscription may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of up to 1%. Purchases of Class C shares of the Funds are subject to a CDSC of 1.00% of the original purchase price if redeemed within a one-year period from the date of purchase.

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. Each Fund, except the Value Fund, declares and distributes net investment income, if any, annually, as a dividend to shareholders. The Value Fund declares and distributes net investment income, if any, semi-annually, 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.

Allocations — Investment income earned, realized capital gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation and depreciation for the Funds are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of a 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 daily in relation to net assets of each Fund or another reasonable measure.

Security transactions — Security transactions are reflected for financial reporting purposes as of the trade date, which may cause the NAV as stated in the accompanying financial statements to be different than the NAV applied to Fund share transactions. 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.

Redemption fees — Prior to April 16, 2012, each Fund imposed a 2% redemption/exchange fee on total redemption proceeds (after applicable deferred sales charges) of any shareholder redeeming shares (including redemption by exchange) of the Funds within 10 calendar days of their purchase. The Funds charged the redemption/exchange fee to discourage market timing by those shareholders initiating redemptions or exchanges to take advantage of short-term market movements. The redemption/exchange fee was imposed to the extent that the number of Fund shares redeemed exceeded the number of Fund shares that were held for more than 10 calendar days. In determining how long shares of the Fund have been held, shares held by the shareholder for the longest period of time were sold first. The Funds retained the redemption/exchange fee for the benefit of the remaining

shareholders by crediting Paid-in-Capital. The redemption fees can be found on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. Effective April 16, 2012, the redemption fee plan was terminated.

The expense limitations in the Expense Limitation Agreement will remain in effect until at least April 16, 2014 for all Funds except the Value Fund. The expense limitation for the Value Fund will remain in effect until September 10, 2013.

Effective September 12, 2012, the Advisor amended the Expense Limitation Agreement for the Value Fund. In accordance with the amended Expense Limitation Agreement, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fees and/or reimburse certain Fund expenses in order to limit annual fund operating expenses to 1.08%, 1.83%, 0.83% and 0.68% for Class A shares, Class C shares, Class Y shares, and Institutional shares, respectively. These limitations will remain in effect until April 16, 2014. For periods where multiple caps are in effect, the lower of the two amounts will apply.

During the six months ended December 31, 2012, the Advisor waived investment advisory fees and administration fees and/or reimbursed expenses of the Funds as follows:

In addition, each Fund pays out-of-pocket expenses incurred by BNY Mellon, including, but not limited to, postage and supplies.

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 are 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. 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 pays an annual fee of up to 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).

UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT

Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement between the Trust and Underwriter, the Underwriter earned the following from underwriting and broker commissions on the sale of shares of the following Funds during the six months ended December 31, 2012:

	Amount
Capital Growth Fund	$	7,477

AFFILIATED INVESTMENTS

Each Fund may invest in the Touchstone Institutional Money Market Fund, subject to compliance with several conditions set forth in an order received by the Trust from the Securities and Exchange Commission. To the extent that the other Touchstone Funds are invested in the Touchstone Institutional Money Market Fund, the Advisor and Administrator will be paid additional fees from the Touchstone Institutional Money Market Fund that will not be waived or reimbursed.

5. 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. 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 June 30, 2012, March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 was as follows:

*The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds. In general, the provisions of the Act has been in effect for the Funds’ since the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses must be utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may be utilized. Under the Act, new capital losses may now be carried forward indefinitely, and retain the character of the original loss as compared with pre-enactment law, where capital losses could be carried forward for up to eight years, and carried forward as short-term capital losses, irrespective of the character of the original loss.

**May be subject to usage limitations.

The capital loss carryforwards may be utilized in future years to offset net realized capital gains, if any, prior to distributing such gains to shareholders.

As of December 31, 2012, the federal tax cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was as follows for the funds:

The Funds have analyzed their tax positions taken on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2008 through 2012) and have concluded that no provision for income tax is required in their financial statements.

6. 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 that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

7. Risks Associated with Foreign Investments

Some of the Funds may invest in the securities of foreign issuers. Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the U.S. may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitations on the removal of funds or other assets of the Fund, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the U.S., and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers, and issuers than in the U.S.

8. Risks Associated with Leverage

By investing the proceeds received from selling securities short, the U.S. Long/Short 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 net asset value to be more volatile than if the Fund had not used leverage. This could result in increased volatility of returns.

9. Fund Mergers

On February 10, 2012, the shareholders of the Old Mutual Funds II (the “Reorganizing Funds”), with the exception of the Old Mutual Large Cap Growth Fund, approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) providing for the transfer of all assets and liabilities of each Reorganizing Fund to the corresponding Touchstone Fund as noted below. The Old Mutual Large Cap Growth Fund shareholders approved the Plan on March 9, 2012. The mergers took place on April 13, 2012. The fiscal year end of the Reorganizing Funds was March 31. After the merger, the Funds year end changed to June 30.

		Net		Shares

Old Mutual Barrow Hanley Value Fund	Value Fund		118,385,619		17,118,623

* Funds had Class Z shares outstanding immediately prior to the reorganization, which were exchanged for Class Y Shares of the corresponding Touchstone Fund.

At a meeting held on March 13, 2012, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved an Agreement and Plans of Reorganization (the “Plans”) providing for the transfer of all assets and liabilities of the Fifth Third Disciplined Large Cap Value Fund and the Fifth Third All Cap Value Fund (each an “Acquired Fund”), each a series of the Fifth Third Funds (“Fifth Third”), to the Touchstone Value Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”). The mergers took place on September 10, 2012.

10. Litigation

In January 2012, the Old Mutual Mid-Cap Fund (which reorganized into the TS&W Mid-Cap Value Fund in March 2009 and reorganized into the Touchstone Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund in April 2012) was served with a summons and complaint in an action brought by Edward S. Weisfelner, as Trustee of the LB Creditor Trust, in the case captioned Weisfelner v. Fund 1, et al. (U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, Adv. Pro No. 10-4609) (the “Action”). The Action seeks to recover all payments made to shareholders in the December 2007 leveraged buyout of Lyondell Chemical Company as alleged fraudulent transfers, by means of intentional and constructive fraudulent transfer causes of action under state law. The amount sought to be disgorged is what the Fund received in payments in connection with the leveraged buyout, $3,784,800. The Fund (along with thousands of other defendants) has filed a joinder to the currently pending motion to dismiss and awaits the court’s ruling on that motion. The path the litigation will follow (including whether it will proceed at all) depends on the outcome of that ruling; it is uncertain when that ruling will come down, however. At this nascent stage of the litigation, it is not possible to assess likely outcome. The Fund is currently assessing the case and has not yet determined the potential effect, if any, on its net asset value.

11. 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.

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Touchstone Strategic Trust held on February 21, 2013, the Board approved a plan to close and liquidate the Touchstone U.S. Long/Short Fund (the “Liquidation Fund”). The Liquidation Fund will be closed and liquidated on or about March 26, 2013.

There were no other subsequent events that necessitated recognition or disclosure on the Funds’ financial statements.

Proxy Voting Guidelines

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 and information regarding how those proxies were voted during the twelve month period ended June 30 are available as an exhibit to the most recent Statement of Additional Information or without charge by calling toll free 1.800.543.0407. These items are also available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the Commission) website at http://www.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-Q. The complete listing (i) is available on the Commission’s website; (ii) may be reviewed and copied at the Commission’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC; and (iii) will be made available to shareholders upon request by calling 1.800.543.0407. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1.800.SEC.0330.

Schedule of Shareholder Expenses

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including reinvested dividends or other distributions; 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 July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012.

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 December 31, 2012” 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.
