Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2014 (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 pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 18, 1982. The Trust consists of eighteen funds including the following five 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 Large Cap Fund (“Large Cap Fund”)

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

Touchstone Value Fund (“Value Fund”)

Each Fund is diversified, with the exception of the Capital Growth Fund and the Value Fund, each of which is non-diversified.

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 the following 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 goals, 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 — Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value.The Fund defines the term “market value”, as used throughout this report, as the estimated fair value. The Fund uses various methods to measure fair value of its portfolio securities on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP fair value measurement standards require disclosure of 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, 2014, for the Funds’ 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 the Funds’ Portfolio of Investments, which also includes a breakdown of the Funds’ investments

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

by geographic or sector allocation. The Funds did not hold any Level 3 categorized securities during the six months ended December 31, 2014.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy. 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, 2014, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 for all Funds, except as shown in the Portfolio of Investments for the International Small Cap Fund.

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 reported sale price, official close price, or last bid price if no sales are reported. Portfolio securities quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) or from the primary exchange on which the security trades. To the extent these securities are actively traded, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Shares of open-end mutual funds in which the Funds invest are valued at their respective net asset values (“NAV”) as reported by the underlying funds and are categorized in Level 1. Money market instruments and other debt securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost, provided such amount 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 mainly traded on a non-U.S. exchange or denominated in foreign currency are generally valued according to the preceding closing values on that exchange, translated to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE, and generally categorized in Level 1. 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 and generally categorized in Level 2. This may cause the value of the security, if held on the books of the Fund to be different from the closing value on the non-U.S. exchange and may affect the calculation of that Fund’s NAV. 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 Funds’ 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 Funds’ 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.

Securities held by the Funds that do not have readily available market quotations, significant observable inputs, or securities for which the available market quotations are not reliable, are priced at their estimated fair value using procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees and are generally categorized in Level 3.

Investment companies— Certain Funds may invest in securities of other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), open-end funds, and closed-end funds. Open-end funds are investment companies that issue new shares continuously and redeem shares daily. Closed-end funds are investment companies that typically issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a securities exchange or over-the-counter. An ETF is an investment company that typically seeks to track the performance of an index by holding in its portfolio shares of all the companies, or a representative sample of the companies, that are components of a particular index. ETFs are traded on a securities exchange based on their market value. The risks of investment in other investment companies typically reflect the risks of the types of securities in which investment companies invest. Investments

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

in ETFs and closed-end funds are subject to the additional risk that their shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV. When a Fund invests in another investment company, shareholders of the Fund indirectly bear their proportionate share of the other investment company’s fees and expenses, including operating, registration, trustee, licensing and marketing, as well as their share of the Fund’s fees and expenses.

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.

Real Estate Investment Trusts — The Funds may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) that involve risks not associated with investing in stocks. Risks include declines in the value of real estate, general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property and defaults by borrowers. The value of assets in the real estate industry may go through cycles of relative underperformance and outperformance in comparison to equity securities markets in general. Dividend income is recorded using management’s estimate of the income included in distributions received from REIT investments. The actual amounts of income, return of capital and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end and may differ from the estimated amount. Estimates of income are adjusted in the Funds to the actual amounts when the amounts are determined.

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 Funds 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. The loaned securities are secured by collateral valued at least equal, at all times, to the market value of the loaned securities 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. The approved investment vehicle is subject to market risk.

As of December 31, 2014, the following Funds loaned securities and received collateral as follows:

	Market		Market
	Value of		Value of
	Securities		Collateral
Fund	Loaned		Received
Capital Growth Fund	$	2,388,123	$	2,428,723
International Small Cap Fund		9,358,930		10,067,164
Large Cap Fund		448,209		464,012
Small Cap Value Opportunities Fund		28,818,985		31,043,701
Value Fund		6,160,070		6,288,115

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

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

Funds participating in securities lending receive compensation in the form of fees. Securities lending income is derived from lending long securities from the Funds to creditworthy approved borrowers at rates that are determined based on trading volumes, float, short-term interest rates and market liquidity. A lending Fund retains the interest or dividends on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The lending Fund continues to receive interest or dividends on the loaned securities.

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

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 NAV per share plus a sales load equal to 6.10% of the NAV (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 Classes C, Y, and Institutional Class shares of the Funds is equal to the NAV per share.

The redemption price per share of each class of shares of the Funds is generally equal to the NAV 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 1.00% if redeemed within a one-year period from the date of purchase. Additionally, purchases of Class C shares of the Funds are subject to a CDSC of 1.00%. The CDSC will be assessed on an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the NAV at the time of purchase of the shares being redeemed or (2) the NAV of such shares being redeemed 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. Recognition of the Funds’ net investment income that invest in underlying funds is affected by the timing of dividend declarations by underlying funds.

Allocations — Investment income earned, realized capital gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation and depreciation for a Fund are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of the 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 in the Trust, and, if applicable, in Touchstone Investment Trust, Touchstone Institutional Funds Trust, Touchstone Variable Series Trust, Touchstone Funds Group Trust, and Touchstone Tax-Free Trust (collectively with the Trust, “Touchstone Fund Complex”), 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. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified cost basis.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

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.

3. Investment Transactions

There were no purchases or proceeds from sales and maturities of U.S. Government securities by the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2014.

4. Transactions with Affiliates and Other Related Parties

Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of Touchstone Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”), Touchstone Securities, Inc. (the “Underwriter”) or BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY Mellon”), the Sub-Administrator and Transfer Agent to the Funds. Such officers receive no compensation from the Trust. The Advisor and the Underwriter are each wholly-owned, indirect subsidiaries of Western & Southern Financial Group, Inc.

On behalf of the Funds, the Advisor pays each Independent Trustee a quarterly retainer plus additional retainers to the Lead Independent Trustee and the chairs of each standing committee. Interested Trustees do not receive compensation from the Funds. Each Independent Trustee also receives compensation for each board meeting and committee meeting attended. Each standing committee chair receives additional compensation for each committee meeting that he or she oversees. The Advisor is reimbursed by the Funds for the Independent Trustees’ compensation and out-of-pocket expenses relating to their services. The Funds accrued Trustee-related expenses of $30,245 for the six months ended December 31, 2014.

Management & Expense Limitation Agreements

The Advisor provides general investment supervisory services for the Funds, under terms of an advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Under the Advisory Agreement, each Fund pays the Advisor a fee, which is computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of each Fund as shown in the table below.

	0.85% on such assets over $500 million
Touchstone Value Fund	0.65%

The Advisor has entered into investment sub-advisory agreements with the following parties (each, a “Sub-Advisor”):

Ashfield Capital Partners, LLC	The London Company
Capital Growth Fund	Large Cap Fund

Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC	Thompson Siegel & Walmsley LLC
Value Fund	Small Cap Value Opportunities Fund

Copper Rock Capital Partners LLC

International Small Cap Fund

The Advisor, not the Funds, pays the sub-advisory fees to each Sub-Advisor.

The Advisor entered into an expense limitation agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”) to contractually limit operating expenses of the Funds, excluding: dividend and interest expenses on short sales; interest; taxes; brokerage commissions; other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP; the cost of “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses”, if any; and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of business. The maximum operating expense limit in any year with respect to the Funds is based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Funds. The Advisor has agreed to separately waive class-level expenses, advisory fees and administration fees, and to reimburse expenses in order to maintain the following expense limitations for the Funds:

										Institutional
Fund	Class A			Class C			Class Y			Class
Capital Growth Fund		1.25	%		2.00	%		1.00	%		0.90	%
International Small Cap Fund		1.55	%		2.30	%		1.30	%		1.18	%
Large Cap Fund		1.12	%		1.87	%		0.87	%		0.77	%

Value Fund		1.08	%		1.83	%		0.83	%		0.68	%

* Prior to October 30, 2014 the expense limitations for Classes A, C, Y and Institutional Class shares were 1.50%, 2.25%, 1.25% and 1.10%, respectively.

These expense limitations will remain in effect for all Funds through at least October 29, 2015.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

During the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Advisor or its affiliates waived investment advisory fees and administration fees or reimbursed expenses, including distribution fees, of the Funds as follows:

Value Fund		—		343,608		45,838		389,446

Under the terms of the Expense Limitation Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to recover, subject to approval by the Funds’ Board, such amounts waived or reimbursed for a period of up to three years from the year in which the Advisor reduced its compensation or assumed expenses for the Funds. No recoupment will occur unless a Fund’s operating expenses are below the expense limitation amount in effect at the time of the waiver or reimbursement.

As of December 31, 2014, the Advisor may seek recoupment of previously waived fees and reimbursed expenses as follows:

	Expiration		Expiration		Expiration		Expiration

The Advisor did not recoup any amounts it previously waived or reimbursed during the six months ended December 31, 2014.

ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT

The Advisor entered into an Administration Agreement with the Trust, whereby the Advisor is responsible for: supplying executive and regulatory compliance services; supervising the preparation of tax returns; coordinating the preparation of reports to shareholders and reports to, and filings with, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and state securities authorities, as well as materials for meetings of the Board; calculating the daily NAV per share; and maintaining the financial books and records of each Fund.

For its services through December 31, 2014, the Advisor’s annual administrative fee was:

0.20% on the first $6 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets;

0.16% of the next $4 billion of aggregate average daily net assets; and

0.12% of the aggregate average daily net assets of all such assets in excess of $10 billion.

The fee was computed and allocated among the Touchstone Fund Complex (excluding Touchstone Institutional Money Market Fund, Touchstone Institutional Funds Trust, and Touchstone Variable Series Trust) on the basis of relative daily net assets.

Beginning January 1, 2015, the Advisor’s annual administrative fee is:

0.145% on the first $20 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets;

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

0.11% on the next $10 billion of aggregate average daily net assets;

0.09% on the next $10 billion of aggregate average daily net assets; and

0.07% on the aggregate average daily net assets over $40 billion.

The fee is computed and allocated among the Touchstone Fund Complex (excluding Touchstone Institutional Funds Trust) on the basis of relative daily net assets.

The Advisor has engaged BNY Mellon as the Sub-Administrator to the Trust. BNY Mellon provides administrative and accounting services to the Trust and is compensated directly by the Advisor, not the Trust.

TRANSFER AGENT AGREEMENT

Under the terms of the Transfer Agent Agreement between the Trust and BNY Mellon, BNY Mellon maintains the records of each shareholder’s account, answers shareholders’ inquiries concerning their accounts, processes purchases and redemptions of each Fund’s shares, acts as dividend and distribution disbursing agent and performs other shareholder service functions. For these services, BNY Mellon receives a monthly fee per shareholder account from each Fund. In addition, each Fund pays out-of-pocket expenses incurred by BNY Mellon, including, but not limited to, postage and supplies.

The Funds may reimburse the Advisor for fees paid to intermediaries such as banks, broker-dealers, financial advisors or other financial institutions for sub-transfer agency, sub-administration and other services provided to investors whose shares of record are held in omnibus, other group accounts, retirement plans or accounts traded through registered securities clearing agents. These fees may vary based on, for example, the nature of services provided, but generally range up to 0.15% of the assets of the class serviced or maintained by the intermediary or up to $22 per sub-account maintained by the intermediary. Prior to December 1, 2014, the Funds reimbursed the Advisor up to $17 per sub-account maintained by the intermediary.

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 is 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. The fees charged to the Funds are limited to the actual expenses incurred. 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 offering Class C shares 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).

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT

The Underwriter is the Funds’ principal underwriter and, as such, acts as exclusive agent for distribution of the Funds’ shares. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement between the Trust and the Underwriter, the Underwriter earned the following from underwriting and broker commissions on the sale of Class A shares of the Funds listed below during the six months ended December 31, 2014:

Fund	Amount
Capital Growth Fund	$	2,024
International Small Cap Fund		959

In addition, the Underwriter collected CDSC on the redemption of Class C shares of the Funds listed below during the six months ended December 31, 2014:

Fund		Amount
Small Cap Value Opportunities Fund		$	179

AFFILIATED INVESTMENTS

Each Fund may invest in the Touchstone Institutional Money Market Fund, subject to compliance with several conditions set forth in an exemptive order received by the Trust from the SEC. To the extent that the 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.

A summary of each Fund’s investment, as applicable, in the Touchstone Institutional Money Market Fund for the six months ended December 31, 2014, is as follows:

Fund	Share Activity

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. It is each Fund’s policy to distribute all of its taxable income and 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 is as follows:

	Capital Growth Fund				International Small Cap Fund
	Year Ended		Year Ended		Year Ended		Year Ended
	June 30,		June 30,		June 30,		June 30,

Total Distributions	$	20,014,581	$	10,416,114	$	8,779,860	$	15,820,490

The following information is computed on a tax basis for each item as of June 30, 2014:

							Small Cap
	Capital			International			Value
	Growth			Small Cap			Opportunities			Value
	Fund			Fund			Fund			Fund
Tax cost of portfolio investments	$	121,399,412		$	131,593,580		$	186,694,234		$	328,710,038

Accumulated earnings (deficit)	$	75,839,661		$	18,318,402		$	45,041,986		$	90,931,149

The difference between the tax cost of portfolio investments and the financial statement cost is primarily due to wash sale loss deferrals and passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) adjustments.

As of June 30, 2014, the Funds had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

									No		No

*The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds. The provisions of the Act first became effective for the Funds’ fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and are applicable to all subsequent fiscal years. 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.

**Utilization may be limited by current income tax regulations.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

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.

The Funds have analyzed their tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended March 31, 2011 through June 30, 2014) and have concluded that no provision for income tax is required in their financial statements.

As of December 31, 2014 the Trust had the following federal tax cost resulting in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as follows:

			Gross		Gross			Net
	Federal Tax		Unrealized		Unrealized			Unrealized
Fund	Cost		Appreciation		Depreciation			Appreciation
Capital Growth Fund	$	127,974,084	$	67,541,554	$	(1,319,644	)	$	66,221,910
International Small Cap Fund		143,466,439		28,252,911		(7,107,970	)		21,144,941
Large Cap Fund		80,954,285		2,253,426		(222,625	)		2,030,801
Small Cap Value Opportunities Fund		209,741,761		28,050,299		(10,909,068	)		17,141,231
Value Fund		334,087,965		120,105,039		(6,970,280	)		113,134,759

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.

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 Concentration

Certain Funds may invest a high percentage of their assets in specific sectors of the market in order to achieve a potentially greater investment return. As a result, these Funds may be more susceptible to economic, political, and regulatory developments in a particular sector of the market, positive or negative, and may experience increased volatility on the Funds’ NAVs and magnified effect on the total return.

9. Subsequent Events

Subsequent events occurring after the date of this report have been evaluated for potential impact to this report through the date financial statements were issued.

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Touchstone Strategic Trust (the “Trust”) held on February 12, 2015, the Board approved several proposals relating to the Touchstone Capital Growth Fund, a series of the Trust (the “Capital Growth Fund”).

The Board approved replacing the Capital Growth Fund’s current sub-advisor, Ashfield Capital Partners, LLC, with Russell Implementation Services, Inc. as interim sub-advisor on the portfolio. Effective at close of business on April 30, 2015, the Board approved replacing Russell with a new sub-advisor, The London Company of Virginia, LLC d/b/a The London Company (“The London Company”).

The Board also approved, subject to approval by the shareholders of the Capital Growth Fund, the reorganization (the “Reorganization”) of the Capital Growth Fund into the Touchstone Large Cap Fund, a series of the Trust (the “Large Cap Fund”), pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization. The Large Cap Fund is currently sub-advised by The London Company. The Reorganization, if approved, is expected to take place before the end of the third quarter.

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

Other Items (Unaudited)

Proxy Voting Guidelines and Proxy Voting Records

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 is available as an appendix to the most recent Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained without charge by calling toll free 1.800.543.0407 or by visiting the Touchstone website at www.touchstoneinvestments.com or on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “Commission”) website www.sec.gov. Information regarding how those proxies were voted during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30 is also available without charge by calling toll free 1.800.543.0407 or on the Commission’s website at 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; (iii) will be made available to shareholders upon request by calling 1.800.543.0407; or (iv) can be obtained on the Touchstone website at www.touchstoneinvestments.com. 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, 2014 through December 31, 2014).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below for each share class of a Fund 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, 2014” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below for each share class of a Fund 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.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of each share class of a Fund in the table below is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreement Approval Disclosure

At a meeting held on February 13, 2014, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”) of the Touchstone Strategic Trust (the “Trust”), and by a separate vote, the Independent Trustees of the Trust, approved an amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Advisor adding the Touchstone Large Cap Fund (the “Fund”) and also initially approved the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund between the Advisor and The London Company of Virginia d/b/a The London Company (the “Sub-Advisor”).

In determining whether to approve the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Advisor furnished information necessary for a majority of the Independent Trustees to make the determination that approval of the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Board also took into account information provided to the Board in its meetings throughout the year with respect to the services provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor to the other Touchstone Funds managed by the Sub-Advisor that used the same bottom-up investment process that the Sub-Advisor proposed to use in managing the Fund (the “Other Touchstone Funds”). In addition, the Board took into consideration certain information and materials that the Board had received and considered in connection with its approval of the renewal in November 2013 of the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements with respect to the Other Touchstone Funds. Those approvals, on which the Board voted at its meeting held in person on November 21, 2013, followed a lengthy process during which the Board considered a variety of factors. The information considered by the Board at the February 2014 meeting included: (1) a comparison of the Fund’s proposed advisory fee and other fees and anticipated total expense ratio with those of comparable funds; (2) performance information for the Sub-Advisor’s Large Cap Core separately managed account (“Large Cap SMA”); (3) the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ estimated revenues and costs of providing services to the Fund; and (4) information about the Advisor’s and Sub-Advisor’s personnel.

Other Items (Unaudited) (Continued)

Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement with management and with experienced independent legal counsel and received materials from such counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval of the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed approval of the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement in a private session with independent legal counsel at which no representatives of management were present.

In approving the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered various factors, among them: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Fund, including the personnel who would be providing such services; (2) the Advisor’s anticipated compensation and profitability; (3) the level of the Fund’s proposed advisory fees and expenses; (4) anticipated economies of scale; and (5) the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board’s analysis of these factors is set forth below. The Independent Trustees were advised by independent legal counsel throughout the process.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Advisor’s Services. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Advisor, including the professional experience and qualifications of senior personnel. In evaluating the quality of services to be provided by the Advisor, the Board took into account its familiarity with the Advisor’s senior management through Board meetings, discussions and reports during the preceding year. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s compliance policies and procedures. The quality of administrative and other services of comparable funds managed by the Advisor, including the Advisor’s role in coordinating the activities of those funds’ other service providers, was also considered. The Board also considered the Advisor’s relationship with its affiliates and the resources available to them, as well as any potential conflicts of interest.

The Board discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of sub-advisors, including the Sub-Advisor, and the Advisor’s timeliness in responding to any performance issues. The Board considered the Advisor’s process for monitoring the Sub-Advisor, which includes an examination of both qualitative and quantitative elements of the Sub-Advisor’s organization, personnel, procedures, investment discipline, infrastructure and performance. The Board considered that the Advisor conducts regular on-site compliance visits with the Sub-Advisor, during which the Advisor examines a wide variety of factors, such as the financial condition of the Sub-Advisor, the quality of the Sub-Advisor’s systems, the effectiveness of the Sub-Advisor’s disaster recovery programs, trade allocation and execution procedures, compliance with the Sub-Advisor’s policies and procedures, results of regulatory examinations and any other factors that might affect the quality of services to be provided by the Sub-Advisor to the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor’s compliance monitoring processes also include quarterly reviews of compliance reports, and that any issues arising from such reports and the Advisor’s compliance visits to the Sub-Advisor are reported to the Board.

The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Advisor’s Compensation and Profitability. The Board took into consideration the financial condition and anticipated level of profitability of the Advisor and its affiliates and the direct and indirect benefits to be derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from the Advisor’s relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in order to limit the Fund’s total operating expenses for at least a year following the date on which the Fund commenced operations. The Board also noted that the Advisor would pay the Sub-Advisor’s sub-advisory fee out of the advisory fee the Advisor would receive from the Fund. The Board reviewed the anticipated level of profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Fund and whether the Advisor has the financial wherewithal to provide services to the Fund, noting the ongoing

Other Items (Unaudited) (Continued)

commitment of the Advisor’s parent company with respect to providing support and resources as needed. The Board also noted that the Advisor would derive benefits to its reputation and other benefits from its association with the Fund.

The Board recognized that the Advisor should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it would provide to the Fund and the entrepreneurial risk that it would assume as Advisor. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ anticipated level of profitability, if any, from their relationship with the Fund was reasonable and not excessive.

Expenses and Performance. The Board compared the Fund’s proposed advisory fee and total expense ratio net of applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements with those of comparable funds. The Board noted that the advisory fee proposed for the Fund was in the third quintile of the Fund’s expense universe and at the median of the Morningstar Large Blend Category, and the Fund’s total expenses, net of fee waivers and/or reimbursements, were in the second quintile of the Fund’s expense universe. The Board also noted the Advisor’s explanation for pricing the Fund’s total expenses in the second quintile. The Board took into consideration the performance of the Large Cap SMA and the Other Touchstone Funds. The Board noted that the portfolio managers who would be involved in the management of the Fund were the same individuals involved in the management of the Large Cap SMA and the Other Touchstone Funds. The Board also noted that the Board reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Other Touchstone Funds performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into consideration certain differences between how the Large Cap SMA and the Other Touchstone Funds are managed and how the Fund will be managed as well as the impact these differences are expected to have on the Fund’s performance.

The Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fees and/or reimburse certain Fund expenses in order to limit the Fund’s operating expenses to targeted levels. The Board further noted that the sub-advisory fees under the Sub-Advisory Agreement would be paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee it receives from the Fund and noted the impact of such sub-advisory fee on the profitability of the Advisor. In reviewing the proposed expense ratios and the performance of the Other Touchstone Funds, the Board also took into account the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the proposed advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services to be received by the Fund from the Advisor.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s potential growth and size on its performance and expenses. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the proposed advisory fee structure. The Board noted that the proposed advisory fee schedule for the Fund contains breakpoints that would reduce the advisory fee rate on assets above specified levels as the Fund’s assets increased. The Board also noted that if the Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund might realize economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than certain other expenses.

Conclusion. In considering the approval of the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Trustees evaluated all information available to them. The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor maintains an appropriate compliance program; and (c) the Fund’s proposed advisory fee is reasonable in relation to the fees of similar funds and the services to be provided by the Advisor. Based on their conclusions, the Trustees determined that approval of the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Other Items (Unaudited) (Continued)

In initially approving the Fund’s Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered various factors, among them: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Fund, including the personnel who would be providing such services; (2) the Sub-Advisor’s proposed compensation; (3) the Sub-Advisor’s past performance with respect to its management of the Large Cap SMA and the Other Touchstone Funds; and (4) the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board’s analysis of these factors is set forth below. The Independent Trustees were advised by independent legal counsel throughout the process.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided; Investment Personnel. The Board considered information provided by the Advisor regarding the services to be provided by the Sub-Advisor. The Board noted that, on a periodic basis, the Board meets with the portfolio managers of the Sub-Advisor to discuss their performance and investment processes and strategies with respect to the Other Touchstone Funds. The Board considered the Sub-Advisor’s level of knowledge and investment style. The Board reviewed the experience and credentials of the investment personnel who would be responsible for managing the investment of portfolio securities with respect to the Fund. The Board also noted its familiarity with the Sub-Advisor, owing to the Sub-Advisor’s management of the Other Touchstone Funds. The Board also considered the Sub-Advisor’s regulatory and compliance history. The Board noted that the Advisor’s compliance monitoring includes quarterly reviews of compliance reports and annual compliance reviews of the Sub-Advisor and that compliance issues, if any, are reported to the Board. The Board also noted the Sub-Advisor’s brokerage practices.

Sub-Advisor’s Compensation, Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board took into consideration the financial condition of the Sub-Advisor and any direct and indirect benefits to be derived by the Sub-Advisor and its affiliates from the Sub-Advisor’s relationship with the Fund. In considering the anticipated level of profitability to the Sub-Advisor and its affiliates of the Sub-Advisor’s relationship with the Fund, the Board noted the proposed contractual undertaking of the Advisor to maintain expense limitations for the Fund and also noted that the sub-advisory fee under the Sub-Advisory Agreement would be paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that it would receive from the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement, and that the sub-advisory fee is negotiated at arm’s length. As a consequence, the anticipated level of profitability to the Sub-Advisor of its relationship with the Fund was not a substantial factor in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider potential economies of scale in the Sub-Advisor’s management of the Fund to be a substantial factor in its consideration, although the Board noted that the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule for the Fund contained breakpoints that would reduce the sub-advisory fee rate above specified levels as the Fund’s assets increased.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Fund Performance. The Board considered that the Fund would pay an advisory fee to the Advisor and that the Advisor would pay a sub-advisory fee to the Sub-Advisor out of the advisory fees it receives from the Fund. The Board also compared the Sub-Advisor’s proposed sub-advisory fee to the sub-advisory fees paid to the Sub-Advisor for managing the Other Touchstone Funds. The Board considered the amount of the advisory fee to be retained by the Advisor and the amount to be paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to the various services to be provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor.

The Board considered the Sub-Advisor’s long-term performance record in managing the Large Cap SMA and the Other Touchstone Funds, certain differences between how the Sub-Advisor manages the Large Cap SMA and the Other Touchstone Funds and how it will manage the Fund, as well as the impact these differences are expected to have on the Fund’s performance. The Board also noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of the Sub-Advisor with respect to the Other Touchstone Funds. The Board was mindful of the Advisor’s focus on the performance of sub-advisors, including the Sub-Advisor, and the Advisor’s ways of addressing underperformance. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services to be received by the Fund from the Sub-Advisor.

Conclusion. In considering the initial approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Sub-Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Sub-Advisor is qualified to manage the Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment goal and policies; (b) the Sub-Advisor maintains an appropriate compliance program; (c) the Fund’s proposed advisory fee is reasonable in relation to the fees of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor; and (d) the Sub-Advisor’s proposed investment strategies are appropriate for pursuing the investment goal of the Fund. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

At a meeting held on November 20, 2014, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”) of the Touchstone Strategic Trust (the “Trust”), and by a separate vote, the Independent Trustees of the Trust, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Advisor with respect to each Fund of the Trust, and the continuance of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Advisor and each Fund’s respective Sub-Advisor.

In determining whether to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Advisor furnished information necessary for a majority of the Independent Trustees to make the determination that the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement were in the best interests of the respective Funds and their shareholders. The information provided to the Board included: (1) industry data comparing advisory fees and expense ratios of comparable investment companies; (2) comparative performance information; (3) the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ revenues and costs of providing services to the Funds; and (4) information about the Advisor’s and Sub-Advisors’ personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements with management and experienced independent legal counsel and received materials from such counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement with independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.

In approving the Funds’ Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered various factors, among them: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds, including the personnel providing such services; (2) the Advisor’s compensation and profitability; (3) a comparison of fees and performance with other advisers; (4) economies of scale; and (5) the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board’s analysis of these factors is set forth below. The Independent Trustees were advised by independent legal counsel throughout the process.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Advisor Services. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Advisor, including the professional experience and qualifications of senior personnel. In evaluating the quality of services provided by the Advisor, the Board took into account its familiarity with the Advisor’s senior management through Board meetings, discussions and reports during the preceding year. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s compliance policies and procedures. The quality of administrative and other services, including the Advisor’s role in coordinating the activities of the Funds’ other service providers, was also considered. The Board also considered the Advisor’s relationship with its affiliates and the resources available to them, as well as any potential conflicts of interest.

The Board discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of each Sub-Advisor, and the Advisor’s timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board considered the Advisor’s process for monitoring each of the Sub-Advisors, which includes an examination of both qualitative and quantitative elements of the Sub-Advisor’s organization, personnel, procedures, investment discipline, infrastructure and performance. The

Board considered that the Advisor conducts regular on-site compliance visits with each Sub-Advisor, during which the Advisor examines a wide variety of factors, such as the financial condition of the Sub-Advisor, the quality of the Sub-Advisor’s systems, the effectiveness of the Sub-Advisor’s disaster recovery programs, trade allocation and execution procedures, compliance with the Sub-Advisor’s policies and procedures, results of regulatory examinations and any other factors that might affect the quality of services that the Sub-Advisor provides to the applicable Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor’s compliance monitoring processes also include quarterly reviews of compliance reports, and that any issues arising from such reports and the Advisor’s compliance visits to the Sub-Advisors are reported to the Board.

The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Fund by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Advisor’s Compensation and Profitability. The Board took into consideration the financial condition and profitability of the Advisor and its affiliates and the direct and indirect benefits derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from the Advisor’s relationship with the Funds. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the Advisor’s business as a whole. The Board noted that the Advisor had waived a portion of advisory fees and administrative fees and/or reimbursed expenses in order to limit the Funds’ net operating expenses. The Board also noted that the Advisor pays the Sub-Advisors’ sub-advisory fees out of the advisory fees the Advisor receives from the Funds. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Funds both before and after tax expenses, and also considered whether the Advisor has the financial wherewithal to continue to provide services to the Funds, noting the ongoing commitment of the Advisor’s parent company with respect to providing support and resources as needed. The Board also considered that the Funds’ distributor, an affiliate of the Advisor, receives Rule 12b-1 distribution fees from the Funds and receives a portion of the sales charges on sales or redemptions of certain classes of shares. The Board also noted that the Advisor derives benefits to its reputation and other benefits from its association with the Funds.

The Board recognized that the Advisor should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to each Fund and the entrepreneurial risk that it assumes as Advisor. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability, if any, from their relationship with each Fund was reasonable and not excessive.

Expenses and Performance. The Board compared the respective advisory fees and total expense ratios for each of the Funds with various comparative data, including the median and average advisory fees and total expense ratios of each Fund’s respective peer group. The Board also considered, among other data, the Funds’ respective performance results during the six-month, twelve-month and thirty-six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, and noted that the Board reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about each Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board also took into account current market conditions and their effect on the Funds’ performance.

The Board also considered the effect of each Fund’s growth and size on its performance and expenses. The Board noted that the Advisor had waived a portion of the fees and/or reimbursed expenses of the Funds in order to reduce those Funds’ respective operating expenses to targeted levels. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees under the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund were paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fees it receives from the Fund and considered the impact of such sub-advisory fees on the profitability of the Advisor. In reviewing the respective expense ratios and performance of each of the Funds, the Board also took into account the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Advisor and its affiliates.

The Board considered, among other data, the specific factors and related conclusions set forth below with respect to each Fund:

Other Items (Unaudited) (Continued)

Touchstone Capital Growth Fund. The Fund’s advisory fee and total expense ratio (net of applicable expense waivers and reimbursements) were at the median and above the median, respectively, of its peer group. The Board noted that the Advisor was currently waiving a portion of the Fund’s fees. The Fund’s performance for the six- and thirty-six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 was in the 3^rdquintile of its peer group. The Fund’s performance for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2014 was in the 2^ndquintile of its peer group. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and relevant indices, and that the advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered.

Touchstone International Small Cap Fund. The Fund’s advisory fee and total expense ratio (net of applicable expense waivers and reimbursements) were below the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the Advisor was currently waiving a portion of the Fund’s fees. The Fund’s performance for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 was in the 3^rdquintile of its peer group. The Fund’s performance for the twelve- and thirty-six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 was in the 2^ndquintile of its peer group. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and relevant indices, and that the advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered.

Touchstone Small Cap Value Opportunities Fund. The Fund’s advisory fee and total expense ratio (net of applicable expense waivers and reimbursements) were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the Advisor was currently waiving a portion of the Fund’s fees and that the expense limits for certain of the shares were reduced effective October 30, 2014. The Fund’s performance for the six-, twelve- and thirty-six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 was in the 1^stquintile of its peer group. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and relevant indices, and that the advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered.

Touchstone Value Fund. The Fund’s advisory fee and total expense ratio (net of applicable expense waivers and reimbursements) were below the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the Advisor was currently waiving a portion of the Fund’s fees. The Fund’s performance for the six- and twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2014 was in the 3^rdquintile of its peer group. The Fund’s performance for the thirty-six-month period ended June 30, 2014 was in the 2^ndquintile of its peer group. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and relevant indices, and that the advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered the effect of each Fund’s current size and potential growth on its performance and expenses. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Funds’ advisory fee structure. The Board considered the effective advisory fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement as a percentage of assets at different asset levels and possible economies of scale that might be realized if the assets of each Fund increase. The Board noted that the advisory fee schedules for some of the Funds contain breakpoints that would reduce the respective advisory fee rate on assets above specified levels as the respective Fund’s assets increased and considered the necessity of adding breakpoints with respect to the Fund that did not currently have such breakpoints in its advisory fee schedule. The Board determined that adding breakpoints at specified levels to the advisory fee schedule of the Fund that currently did not have such breakpoints was not appropriate at that time. The Board also noted that if a Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board also considered the fact that, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the advisory fee payable to the Advisor by a Fund was reduced by the total sub-advisory fee paid by the Advisor to the Fund’s Sub-Advisor.

Other Items (Unaudited) (Continued)

Conclusion. In considering the renewal of the Funds’ Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Trustees evaluated all information available to them on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and their determinations were made separately with respect to each Fund. The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Funds’ Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor, among others: (a) the Advisor demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor maintains an appropriate compliance program; (c) the overall performance of each Fund is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and relevant indices; and (d) each Fund’s advisory fee is reasonable in light of the services received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered. Based on their conclusions, the Trustees determined with respect to each Fund that continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

In approving the Funds’ respective Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board considered various factors with respect to each Fund and the applicable Sub-Advisory Agreement, among them: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund, including the personnel providing such services; (2) the Sub-Advisor’s compensation; (3) a comparison of the sub-advisory fee and performance with other advisers; and (4) the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board’s analysis of these factors is set forth below. The Independent Trustees were advised by independent legal counsel throughout the process.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided; Investment Personnel. The Board considered information provided by the Advisor regarding the services provided by each Sub-Advisor, including information presented periodically throughout the previous year. The Board noted that, on a periodic basis, the Board meets with portfolio managers of the Sub-Advisors to discuss their respective performance and investment processes and strategies. The Board also considered each Sub-Advisor’s level of knowledge and investment style. The Board reviewed the experience and credentials of the applicable investment personnel who are responsible for managing the investment of portfolio securities with respect to the Funds. The Board also noted each Sub-Advisor’s brokerage practices.

Sub-Advisor’s Compensation, Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board also took into consideration the financial condition of each Sub-Advisor and any indirect benefits derived by each Sub-Advisor and its affiliates from the Sub-Advisor’s relationship with the Funds. In considering the profitability to each Sub-Advisor of its relationship with the Funds, the Board noted the undertaking of the Advisor to maintain expense limitations for the Funds and also noted that the sub-advisory fees under the Sub-Advisory Agreements were paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fees that it receives under the Investment Advisory Agreement and are negotiated at arm’s-length. As a consequence, the profitability to each Sub-Advisor of its relationship with a Fund was not a substantial factor in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in each Sub-Advisor’s management of the applicable Fund to be a substantial factor in its consideration, although the Board noted that the sub-advisory fee schedule for some of the Funds contained breakpoints that would reduce the sub-advisory fee rate on assets above specified levels as the applicable Fund’s assets increased.

Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Performance. The Board considered that each Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor and that the Advisor pays the sub-advisory fee to the Sub-Advisor out of the advisory fee it receives from the respective Fund. The Board also compared the sub-advisory fees paid by the Advisor to fees charged by each Sub-Advisor to manage comparable institutional separate accounts. The Board considered the amount retained by the Advisor and the sub-advisory fee paid to each Sub-Advisor with respect to the various services provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor. The Board also noted that the Advisor negotiated the sub-advisory fee with each of the Sub-Advisors at arm’s-length. The Board reviewed the sub-advisory fee for each Fund in relation to various comparative data, including the median and average sub-advisory fees of each Fund’s peer group, and considered the following information:
