Letter from the President

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide you with the Touchstone Funds Group Trust Annual Report. Inside you will find key financial information, as well as manager commentaries for the Funds, for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022.

Capital markets offered few safe havens over the prior 12-months as investor sentiment turned progressively negative during the final three quarters of the 12-month period. There were multiple reasons for declining asset prices including rising inflationary pressures, higher commodity costs, supply chain challenges, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and U.S. Federal Open Market Committee actions regarding rate increases. By the spring of 2022, the impact of Russia’s Ukrainian invasion had seemingly been priced into the market and investor concern had shifted back to U.S. Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) rate policy and the potential for an economic recession either in the second half of this year or 2023. These recessionary concerns were exacerbated by negative growth in U.S. gross domestic product reported for first quarter 2022 and inflationary pressures, which continued throughout the first three quarters of 2022 due to healthy consumer demand along with supply constraints related to China’s economic troubles and the ongoing Russian war. Faced with inflationary pressures, the Fed’s response has been to implement a series of unprecedented rate hikes this year, the first since 2018, with two hikes of 75 basis points coming in the third quarter alone. Outside the U.S., inflationary issues persisted as well, primarily in the developed markets of Western Europe as Germany, Italy and France felt the impact of supply chain challenges and slowing natural gas and oil imports from Russia following their invasion of Ukraine. The U.S. dollar strengthened as geopolitical risks, higher U.S. interest rates compared to developed markets, and relatively less attractive economic outlooks outside the U.S. attracted foreign capital. Broadly, both developing and developed markets were negatively impacted by the strong U.S. dollar.

Given the aforementioned macroeconomic backdrop during the 12-month period, geopolitical concerns and diminishing expectations for the Fed’s ability to achieve a “soft landing”, it is not surprising that equity markets posted significantly negative returns. The S&P 500® Index moved into Bear Market territory by declining over 20 percent from its January 2022 peak to the end of September 2022. From a market capitalization perspective, small capitalization stocks underperformed mid-caps, while mid-caps underperformed large-caps. Value equities outperformed Growth equities across the capitalization spectrum as the rise in interest rates was a headwind for stocks trading at higher valuation multiples. Outside the U.S., emerging markets lagged the U.S. large cap market and the non-U.S. developed equity markets due primarily to the disruption in China stemming from the country’s zero-COVID policy.

Within U.S. fixed income markets, persistent inflation and aggressive Fed rate moves pushed the Treasury yield curve higher across all relevant maturities but saw the largest increase in the three month to five-year portion of the curve. These moves in yield resulted in a decline for the investment grade universe. Municipal bonds were also impacted by the rising yield curve. In the U.S. credit markets, the looming concerns of inflation and higher future financing rates weighed on the corporate debt space as both investment grade and non-investment grade corporate bond spreads widened. The leveraged loan market was more defensive than the high yield bond market as leveraged loans were priced at floating interest rates rather than fixed interest rates.

We are reminded especially in periods like these of the importance of the steady hands of financial professionals, trust in your investment strategy, and the risks of trying to time the market. Furthermore, we believe that environments that are more volatile create more opportunity for active managers to add value, especially those that are Distinctively Active. We greatly value your continued support. Thank you for including Touchstone as part of your investment plan.

Sincerely,

E. Blake Moore Jr.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)

Touchstone Active Bond Fund

Sub-Advised by Fort Washington Investment Advisors, Inc.

Investment Philosophy

The Touchstone Active Bond Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital. Capital appreciation is a secondary goal. In deciding what securities to buy and sell for the Fund, the overall investment opportunities and risks in different sectors of the debt securities market are analyzed by focusing on maximizing total return and reducing volatility of the Fund’s portfolio. A disciplined sector allocation process is followed in order to build a broadly diversified portfolio of bonds.

Fund Performance

The Touchstone Active Bond Fund (Class A Shares) underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, for the 12-month period ending September 30, 2022. The Fund’s total return was -16.52 percent (calculated excluding the maximum sales charge) while the total return of the benchmark was -14.60 percent.

Market Environment

Factors influencing markets for the 12-month period varied from positive effects from continued relaxing of pandemic restrictions, to the negative impacts from military conflict in Ukraine, persistently high inflation, and tighter central bank policy around the world. Global conflict and sharp monetary tightening were most impactful, as risk assets (equities, credit spreads) generally performed poorly and interest rates reached multi-year highs.

At the end of 2021 and into 2022, expectations for the global economy were strong. Consensus estimates for U.S. gross domestic product growth were nearly 4% at the beginning of 2022. Pandemic restrictions were being lifted and an economic rebound was focused on the unleashing of pent-up demand for activities that had been restricted for the previous two years. Subsequent events have tempered expectations, with the most recent estimates of 2022 economic growth declining to 1.5%.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022 was a negative for markets, initially fearing that the conflict would spread to greater Europe. For U.S. markets, the most direct impact of the conflict was an increase in commodity prices, fueling higher energy and food costs for consumers. As fears subsided that the conflict would expand beyond the Ukrainian border, markets calmed, but the effects of higher commodity prices persisted. Europe is facing winter with reduced natural gas supplies from Russia, and U.S. inflation increased as these higher prices were passed through to consumers.

For the past year, inflation has been well above the U.S. Federal Reserve Board’s (“Fed”) 2% target, averaging nearly 6% in 2022. Hopeful that inflation would drift towards 2% as pandemic effects subsided, the Fed and markets were initially sanguine regarding the amount of rate increases that would be needed over the coming months. As the inflation data remained high and increasingly persistent, expectations of Fed rate hikes increased substantially. Through the end of third quarter 2022, the Fed has raised interest rates by 3% and is expected to reach 4.5% in early 2023. U.S. Treasury yields have risen sharply, reaching the highest levels since the 2008 financial crisis and inverting yield curves to levels not seen since the 1980s. For many bond market indices, 2022 is the worst year on record amid substantial price declines.

Increasingly tight monetary policy and slowing growth have been strong headwinds for risk assets. Equities are firmly in bear market territory, down more than 20% from highs, and credit spreads are nearing the widest levels of the 12 month period. Recession risk has increased and markets are facing a very uncertain and likely volatile period ahead. Looking ahead for the U.S.economy, growth is slowing and inflation remains too high, but there are signals that inflation may soften over the next several months.

Regarding growth, the most positive sector of the U.S. economy is the consumer. Spending will be supported by a job market that has remained strong in spite of weakness in other economic indicators. However, as tight financial conditions lead to slower growth, a weaker labor market can be expected. Job openings are plentiful, especially compared to the number of unemployed people, but recent reports have indicated somewhat better balance as labor force participation rose and job openings have leveled off. Wage growth, while still at the higher end of recent ranges, is also showing signs of moving to lower levels. The relative strength of the consumer increases the chances of a soft landing, but the strength has also been a source of unease for policymakers who are focused on the potential impact on inflation.

The most direct impact of higher interest rates can be seen in the housing market, which can be expected to detract from growth over coming quarters. Affordability has fallen dramatically as rates have risen, and all indicators of the housing market have declined over the past several months. Along with contributing to slower growth, housing prices are likely to level off as demand eases, the effects of which will filter through the various measures of inflation over the next several months.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) (Continued)

Business spending, while weaker in the third quarter 2022, has been a consistent contributor to economic growth. Recent data indicates softening, especially in the manufacturing sectors, as global growth slows and inventories rise. One positive development is that many of the supply chain issues that have impacted this sector since the pandemic are showing improvement. Price pressures have declined as a result, which will help to soften the overall level of inflation.

Inflation data and monetary policy will remain the biggest driver of markets. Markets were hopeful that inflation was slowing after the July Consumer Price Index report was below expectations, but those hopes were dashed the following month as the August report was above expectations and broad-based. The Fed responded aggressively with the second consecutive 0.75% rate hike and recent Fed communications have emphasized the resolve to control inflation even if doing so results in a recession. Slower growth, lower commodity prices, and stable/lower inflation expectations will likely lead to a lower pace of inflation over coming months, but Fed policy will pivot only when inflation is on a decisive turn lower, which is unlikely until sometime in 2023.

Credit spreads across sectors and quality ranges are close to widest levels of the year, generally in the 70 percentile relative to history. While relatively wide, credit spreads still are not indicating significant concern of an imminent recession. If the economy slows more/faster than expected, credit spreads are likely to widen further. However, if a soft landing is achieved or a recession is shallow, the current level of spreads is attractive. As a result, we believe current valuations support a modest overweight to risk in portfolios.

Outlook and Conclusion

From an absolute return perspective, the return prospects for fixed income are the most attractive in the past decade. Entering 2021, market yields were very low and offered little cushion against price declines from rising interest rates. At higher interest rate levels, the yield offered by fixed income can now offer a buffer against price changes and, in the long-term, generate returns more consistent with historical averages for fixed income.

Relative to the benchmark, the wider level of credit spreads is the greatest opportunity for the Fund going forward. The Fund is positioned to potentially benefit from stable/tighter credit spreads.

We believe the biggest concern for markets and the Fund are related to inflation and monetary policy. The Fed has tightened aggressively to combat inflation well above target, which has remained more persistent than expected. Tighter Fed policy has led to the tightest level of financial conditions since the onset of the pandemic, which will continue to press economic growth lower. To control inflation, the Fed has indicated it will continue to raise rates even if it causes a recession. For the Fund, a steeper economic decline would likely lead to wider credit spreads, a negative for the Fund’s positioning. However, the Fund will be in a position to increase risk allocation if the team thinks that is appropriate.

We believe the Fund is positioned to perform well in a stable/improving environment for risk assets. We believe valuations have adjusted appropriately given the macro environment and potential risks. If conditions improve, we believe the Fund is positioned well to benefit. If volatility continues and economic growth deteriorates further, the Fund is also in a position to add positions opportunistically if risk assets experience weakness. Additionally, we believe positive security selection can benefit in many different market environments.

We are targeting an overweight to spread risk representing 50% of the risk budget. This overweight is supported by 1) our view that the resilience of the U.S. consumer enables the economy to withstand tighter Fed policy, with any decline in activity likely to be shallow, and 2) valuations that are generally compelling and above the 70 percentile relative to history.

Sector positioning reflects our overall positive outlook on valuations, attractive relative value, and opportunities within each sector. Sector allocations were generally unchanged for the period. The strategy maintained an overweight to Investment Grade Credit (“IG”). Within IG, risk was reduced slightly into strength in the period. Preferred securities were reduced based on relative value to BBBs. The team is finding value in non-cyclical sectors such as Utilities, Health Care, and Food/Beverage while selectively adding financials and BBB cyclicals such as Technology and Chemicals.

Securitized Products remain an overweight exposure relative to the benchmark. Within the sector, the team slightly increased the weight to Agency Mortgage Backed Securities as spreads widened with higher rates. High-quality Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities remains an attractive relative value opportunity to other credit sectors. We continue to favor non-agency exposure and are positioned appropriately with overweight exposure to Asset Backed Securities, Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities, and Collateralized Loan Obligations. The overweight allocation to Emerging Markets Debt (EMD) was generally unchanged during the period. Valuations are attractive, especially in the High Yield portion of the market. Emerging Markets High Yield spreads finished the period in their widest decile relative to history. Latin America remains the largest regional exposure within the sector.

We are positioning the Fund with a slight long duration bias, focused in the intermediate part of the curve. We believe the current level of rates reflects an appropriate amount of Fed tightening, and that the growth and inflation outlook will bias interest rates lower over the next several months.

Touchstone Anti-Benchmark® International Core Equity Fund

Sub-Advised by TOBAM S.A.S.

Investment Philosophy

The Touchstone Anti-Benchmark® International Core Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation. TOBAM’s methodology seeks to enhance the diversification of portfolio holdings to reduce market bias and potentially improve risk-adjusted returns. TOBAM’s process selects individual stocks and their weights in an effort to reduce the correlations between individual holdings. This enables the creation of portfolios that seek to mitigate the inherent concentration risks associated with capitalization-weighted benchmarks. The lower correlations have the potential to provide a differentiated source of value than other methods of diversification. This quantitative approach creates fully invested, long-only portfolios that do not use leverage, and are designed to help guard against structural biases.

Fund Performance

The Touchstone Anti-Benchmark® International Core Equity Fund (Class Y Shares) underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, over the 12-month period ending September 30, 2022. The Fund’s return was -31.55 percent compared to the -25.13 percent return of the MSCI EAFE Index.

Market Environment

Capital markets offered few safe havens over the prior 12-months as investor sentiment turned progressively negative during the final three quarters of the 12-month period. There were multiple reasons for the declining asset prices including rising inflationary pressures, higher commodity costs, supply chain challenges, and Russia’s surprising invasion of Ukraine. By the spring of 2022, the impact of the Ukrainian invasion had been priced into the market and investor concern had shifted back to inflationary pressures and the potential for recessionary conditions in most major economies. Developed markets of Western Europe such as Germany, Italy and France felt the impact of supply chain challenges and slowing natural gas and oil imports from Russia following their invasion of Ukraine. The U.S. dollar strengthened as geopolitical risks, higher U.S. interest rates compared to developed markets, and relatively less attractive economic outlooks outside the U.S. attracted foreign capital. Broadly, both developing and developed markets were negatively impacted by the strong U.S. dollar. Given this macroeconomic backdrop during the 12-month period and geopolitical concerns, non-U.S. developed market equities posted negative returns. Growth-leaning sectors such as Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology as well as commodity-linked Industrials sector were among the worst-performing sectors in the MSCI EAFE Index, leading the benchmark into negative territory.

Portfolio Review

The Fund’s relative underperformance during the 12-month period was driven by stock selection in the Materials, Health Care and Consumer Staples sectors. Weak performance in these sectors more than offset better-than-benchmark performance in the Financials, Real Estate and Communication Services sectors.

Outlook and Conclusion

TOBAM’s Anti-Benchmark^® strategy does not forecast but simply seeks to maximize diversification. Thus, it does not include fundamental analysis of individual stocks, countries, sectors, economic environments or factors. No discretionary tactical or strategic asset allocation decisions are made with respect to specific regions, sectors or industries. TOBAM’s investment process consists of seeking to maximize diversification from a bottom-up perspective. Securities are bought or sold solely in relation to their potential relative diversification benefits within the portfolio. A security will be completely sold when it no longer provides the most marginal diversification among all available stocks in the universe, and others purchased when they begin to provide more marginal diversification. TOBAM’s patented Anti-Benchmark^® approach is designed to avoid explicit and implicit biases in terms of sector, style, market cap and other statistical measures. For this reason, we apply as few constraints as possible and do not rely on any given view or forecast, in order to avoid unwanted systematic exposures. The Fund’s portfolio reflects even risk contributions from all independent effective risk factors in the investment universe, which may include sector and country factors.

Touchstone Ares Credit Opportunities Fund

Sub-Advised by Ares Capital Management II LLC ("Ares")

Investment Philosophy

The Touchstone Ares Credit Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) seeks absolute total return, primarily from income and capital appreciation. The Fund employs a flexible investment approach by allocating assets among core investments and opportunistic investments as market conditions change. It invests in several broad investment categories, including high yield bonds, bank loans, special situations, structured credit and hedges.

Fund Performance

The Touchstone Ares Credit Opportunities Fund (Class A Shares) underperformed its benchmark, the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022. The Fund’s total return was -10.60 percent (calculated excluding the maximum sales charge) while the total return of the benchmark was 0.62 percent.

Market Environment

Capital markets have come under pressure during the last twelve months due to elevated inflation, hawkish central bank policy, and geopolitical volatility, all of which have weighed on global economic growth and investor sentiment. Inflation has reached multi-decade highs on multiple occasions due to a mix of supply chain disruptions and strong consumer demand as restrictions due to COVID-19 lessened. To curb inflation, central banks around the world pivoted from quantitative easing to quantitative tightening, resulting in higher interest rates across the U.S. and Europe. Elevated inflation and rates, coupled with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has led to a slowdown of economic activity across the globe, and multiple periods of Gross Domestic Product contraction in the U.S. specifically. As a result, sentiment has decidedly shifted from “risk-on” to “risk-off” as investors rotated their portfolios amid rising rate, inflation, and geopolitical risks. Both equities and traditional fixed income declined. The sub-investment grade credit markets provided downside cushion relative to these asset classes, driven by high coupons and reduced duration risk, though negative for the period. High yield bonds declined while bank loans declined a lot less, the latter benefitting from strong demand due to their floating rate coupons. Reflective of broader risk-off sentiment, CCCs underperformed the broader high yield index while higher quality BBs have outperformed.

Portfolio Review

Portfolio duration was largely between 2 to 3.5 years. In general, the Fund invests in assets with low duration when compared to investment grade corporates and treasuries. The spread between the 2- and 10-year treasuries is incorporated into our proprietary recession scorecard, which is used to assess the macro environment and lead to more informed positioning decisions. During this period, we have migrated the portfolio into a more defensive stance given our view of the go-forward direction of the global economy.

The Fund actively rotated exposures as we sought to optimize the portfolio following the migration of assets related to a Fund merger and more recently, increased the quality of the Fund amid rising macro concerns. As a result, issuer count was reduced amid rising idiosyncratic risk as higher cost inputs and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine affected corporate fundamentals, leading to higher single name dispersion in the sub-investment grade credit markets. The portfolio maintained a bias towards fixed rate assets due to the lack of call protection of relatively higher credit quality when compared to syndicated loans, though duration remained significantly reduced when compared to investment grade equivalents. The Fund’s floating rate exposure was diversified during the period, reducing exposure to highly levered Technology and lower-quality syndicated loans in favor of higher yielding, diversified Collateralized Loan Obligation securities. By credit quality, the portfolio’s exposure to single B’s was reduced as we sought to move up in quality amid a deteriorating macro environment, with the allocation to BB and above being increased. As noted earlier, the Fund’s exposure to Technology was decreased as we sold highly levered software credits and maintained a bias towards Building Products and Energy. While the Fund maintained a bias towards U.S. assets, we recently took advantage of foreign exchange rates and weakness in European markets by selectively acquiring non-U.S. dollar bonds issued by multinationals at attractive levels.

Outlook and Conclusion

The period closed on a volatile note as markets responded to a hawkish policy outlook, renewed geopolitical uncertainty, and the energy crisis in Europe. Following a broader market selloff in September, risk assets rallied the first week in October 2022 as prospects for a policy pivot resurfaced after the U.K. government reversed its decision to cut the tax rate and manufacturing data surprised to the downside. Economic data continues to present a mixed picture - the outlook for future economic growth remains generally weak, with expectations of further softening of demand; however, year-over-year inflation in the U.S. and Europe remain elevated due to global supply chain issues and energy trade disruptions. Meanwhile, U.S. initial jobless claims decreased while sales of new single-family homes increased by 28% in August even as mortgage rates significantly increased. While a recession is

increasingly likely and central banks continue to signal that growth may be hindered until inflation comes under control, we believe default rates should remain muted relative to previous dislocations as issuers are well-positioned to service their debt, maturities have been pushed out and liquidity shored up. Even if a recession is deeper and more protracted than we expect, we take comfort in the healthier corporate and consumer balance sheets relative to prior recessions. While we anticipate elevated volatility moving forward, given where yields are today, we view the long-term buying opportunity to be attractive. We are keeping a close watch on the developments in Ukraine and China and the resulting economic impacts, central bank policies, the energy crisis in Europe, as well as any idiosyncratic events that may arise in this unpredictable environment. We believe the Fund is well positioned to navigate broader macro volatility due to our focus on bottom-up, fundamental credit analysis, downside protection, and the experience and breadth of the Ares platform.

Touchstone Dividend Equity Fund

Sub-Advised by Fort Washington Investment Advisors, Inc.

Investment Philosophy

The Touchstone Dividend Equity Fund seeks a high level of current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in a portfolio of dividend-paying large-capitalization equities.

Fund Performance

The Touchstone Dividend Equity Fund (Class A Shares) outperformed its benchmark, Russell 1000® Value Index, for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022. The Fund’s total return was -9.90 percent (calculated excluding the maximum sales charge) while the benchmark’s total return was -11.36 percent.

Market Environment

Factors influencing markets for the 12-month period varied from positive effects from continued relaxing of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, to the negative impacts from military conflict in Ukraine, persistently high inflation, and tighter central bank policy around the world.

U.S. Treasury yields have risen sharply, reaching the highest levels since the 2008 financial crisis and inverting yield curves to levels not seen since the 1980s. For many bond market indices, 2022 is the worst year on record amid substantial price declines.

Increasingly tight monetary policy and slowing growth have been strong headwinds for risk assets. Equities are firmly in bear market territory, and credit spreads are nearing the widest levels of the 12-month period. Recession risk has increased and markets are facing a very uncertain and likely volatile period ahead.

Energy was the best performing sector over the period as oil prices rose above $100/barrel for the first time since 2014. Defensive sectors, including Health Care, Consumer Staples and Utilities, also outperformed as volatility increased and equity markets moved lower. Value stocks outpaced Growth stocks.

Portfolio Review

The Fund’s outperformance was primarily driven by strong security selection, while sector allocation detracted from relative performance.

Stock selection within Information Technology and Health Care were the largest contributors to relative performance. An overweight allocation to Information Technology was the primary driver of negative sector allocation. Information Technology underperformed as higher interest rates pressured valuations for higher growth, long duration stocks.

Among the largest individual contributors to relative performance were overweight positions in Valero Energy Corp. (Energy sector), Lockheed Martin Corp. (Industrials sector), and AbbVie Inc.(Health Care sector), along with underweight positions to The Walt Disney Company (Communication Services sector) and Salesforce Inc. (Information Technology sector).

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) (Continued)

Valero Energy, one of the largest independent refiners, outperformed as the entire Energy sector benefitted from higher commodity prices during the period. Although higher oil prices can be a headwind to refiners, current price levels and crack spreads combined with elevated demand support healthy margins for refiners.

Lockheed Martin was the second largest contributor to relative returns during the period. The Fund increased its exposure to defense names in late 2021 as the sector underperformed and was relatively attractive compared to the broader market. This positioning benefitted the portfolio as defense names outperformed following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and renewed focus on defense spending.

The largest detractors from relative performance were overweight positions in VF Corporation (Consumer Discretionary sector), Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (Industrials sector), Comcast Corporation (Communication Services sector), and Oracle Corporation (Information Technology sector), along with an underweight to ConocoPhillips (Energy sector).

VF Corp, the apparel maker of Vans, Timberland, and The North Face, was the largest detractor from performance as the name underperformed during the period. The company provided guidance at its September analyst event that underwhelmed investors, resulting in a move lower for the stock following a wave of analyst price target cuts. Higher costs and slowing consumer spending amid a worsening economic backdrop presents near-term challenges, but our long-term outlook remains intact due to its portfolio of strong brands with pricing power and high returns on capital.

Stanley Black & Decker, a market leader in the tools & outdoor space within industrials with brand names like Dewalt, Black & Decker, and Craftsman, detracted from performance during the period. The name underperformed following several quarters of disappointing earnings and a material revision down in guidance. The company is facing challenges from slowing consumer demand amid a fall in housing activity, while also facing a material inventory buildup that is pressuring earnings. The stock is approaching levels seen at the depth of the global pandemic in March of 2020. Compelling valuation and long-term fundamentals support an overweight to Stanley Black & Decker despite recent weakness in the business.

The Fund initiated positions in Visa Inc. (Information Technology sector), Bank of America Corporation (Financials sector), and Stanley Black & Decker Inc. (Industrials sector) while it eliminated positions in MetLife Inc. (Financials sector), UPS Inc. (Industrials sector), Linde plc (Materials sector), Kimberly-Clark Corporation (Consumer Staples sector), TE Connectivity Ltd. (Information Technology sector), HCA Healthcare Inc. (Health Care sector), and Parker Hannifin Corporation (Industrials sector).

Outlook and Conclusion

Following a steep sell-off in financial markets in the first half of 2022, U.S. markets rallied in July and into August. The catalysts were declines in prices of oil and other commodities that raised investors’ hopes that inflation had peaked and the Fed would slow the pace of monetary tightening.

At the Jackson Hole meeting in late August 2022, however, Fed Chair Jerome Powell disappointed investors when he emphasized that inflation was too high and the Fed’s top priority was to bring it down to its 2 percent target. He acknowledged that this will likely require a sustained period of below-trend growth and a softening in labor market conditions.

Following a worse-than-expected inflation report for August, the Fed subsequently raised the funds rate by 75 basis points for the third consecutive Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) meeting to 3.0%- to-3.25%. The latest plots by Fed officials show the funds rate reaching 4.6% by early next year and then plateauing. This would imply it could be raised by 75 basis points and 50 basis points, respectively, at the next two FOMC meetings followed by a quarter point hike in early 2023.

Amid these developments, Treasury bond yields set new highs for 2022 and became inverted between two-year and long-dated instruments. At the same time, spreads between corporate bonds and Treasuries widened further. The selloff in the U.S. bond market in 2022 is now the worst in history.

At the same time, the summer rally in stocks has reversed, and the U.S. stock market is back into bear territory. The best performing asset has been the U.S. dollar, which has appreciated against the major currencies this year and is at more than a two-decade high against the euro and the Japanese yen.

We believe the key issue for investors now relates to the chances that additional U.S. monetary tightening will spawn a U.S. recession. Our view is that if a U.S. recession were to materialize, it is likely to be less severe than the 2008 Global Financial Crisis for two reasons. First, there are no major sectoral imbalances and the financial sector is less exposed to the housing market and better capitalized today.

We believe it is also likely to be less impactful than the first two oil shocks because the U.S. is energy self-sufficient today, and oil prices have declined significantly from their peak earlier this year. Furthermore, inflation expectations are not as deeply embedded as they were in the 1970s and early 1980s.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) (Continued)

The risks of a global recession have certainly increased next year, with Europe decidedly in recession while the two largest economies—the U.S. and China—experience little or no growth. That said, valuations appear to be pricing in an increased risk of recession.

Although risks have risen, valuations have adjusted to compelling levels and we believe the long-term economic outlook is still promising. As such, we remain constructive on U.S. equities. As investors seek to avoid the risks of inflation, higher interest rates, and recession, dividend strategies are a compelling option. Dividend strategies have the potential to provide both capital appreciation and a growing stream of income while also providing downside protection through lower volatility during times of distress, as evidenced by returns this year.

Within the Fund, we are maintaining a cautious stance but are selectively finding bottom-up opportunities while reducing outperforming defensive names where valuations have become stretched. Earnings expectations remain stubbornly high and are at risk to fall amid slowing economic growth. Potential downside remains should equity earnings deteriorate. We believe the Fund is positioned to withstand a further decline in equity prices due to its high quality approach, and are prudently adding to opportunities with long-term upside potential in more normalized environments.

Touchstone High Yield Fund

Sub-Advised by Fort Washington Investment Advisors, Inc.

Investment Philosophy

The Touchstone High Yield Fund seeks a high level of income as its main goal. Capital appreciation is a secondary consideration. The Fund primarily invests in non-investment-grade debt securities.

Fund Performance

The Touchstone High Yield Fund (Class A Shares) underperformed its benchmark, ICE BofA High Yield Cash Pay Index, for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022. The Fund’s total return was -14.88 percent (calculated excluding the maximum sales charge) while the benchmark’s total return was -13.98 percent.

Market Environment

The U.S. Treasury market saw a large and consistent rally for much of the period as yields of all maturity levels declined. In addition to the significant rally in U.S. Treasuries, there were times throughout the period where the U.S. Treasury curve inverted and the market began to worry about a possible recession or the increasing likelihood of one. Investment grade corporate securities with long durations and low spreads benefited the most from the decline in yields. Below-investment grade securities were impacted more severely; their typically shorter duration therefore were less advantaged by the intermediate-to-longer-term U.S. Treasury yield decreases and thus underperformed.

Within High Yield, BB- and B-rated bonds saw their spreads widen modestly while spread widening in CCC-rated bonds was much greater. This created a significant bifurcation of returns with BB- and B-rated bonds significantly outperforming their CCC-rated counterparts.

During the 12-month period, the top performing industries were Supermarkets, Banking, Life Insurance, and Wireless. These are all industries that are non-commodity related, less cyclical, and long in duration. The bottom performing industries were Oil Field Services and Independent Energy. These two industries are the only sizeable industries with a negative return over the twelve-month period. Despite oil staying reasonably range bound, investors have shunned owning this segment of the market over the past year on concerns of recession and increasing default rates.

Portfolio Review

Overall, sector allocation was neutral for the 12-month period. The Fund’s underweight to Independent Energy was the largest positive contributor as Energy was a bottom-performing sector. The Fund’s overweight positions to Food & Beverage and Cable/Satellite were additive as both are large non-cyclical industries that performed well as investors preferred issuers in more defensive sectors. An overweight to Pharmaceuticals and an underweight to Wireless were the two largest detractors.

Security selection positively contributed to performance and was driven by two main factors: an underweight to CCC-rated securities, and not owning several companies that went bankrupt or were trading as if they had defaulted. The largest headwinds to security selection revolved around two themes: the Fund overweight in Energy and an overweight in the Pharmaceuticals industry which was impacted by potential opioid litigation.

Outlook and Conclusion

We expect gross domestic product (GDP) growth to remain positive. Financial conditions are stable, fixed income market liquidity is adequate, credit fundamentals are solid with leverage and coverage at historical levels, there are limited maturities on the horizon and default rates are expected to remain low. This all provides a backdrop whereby we would expect credit markets to perform reasonably well.

We believe the greatest opportunity set for the Fund going forward would be either a continuation of the current environment of low growth mixed with relatively steady monetary policy or a meaningful sell-off in the high yield market. The Fund is positioned to emphasize credit selection over sector allocation as there are few apparent sector allocation opportunities in the current environment. Where there are sector opportunities, we have decided to express our views through quality (BB- versus B-rated) and not necessarily through a large under/overweight to the sector. Lastly, given the higher quality nature of the Fund, we would expect it to perform well in an environment where spreads widen significantly and CCC-rated bonds significantly underperform their BB- and B-rated counterparts.

In light of high yield’s relatively low spread and yield levels, the Fund is positioning toward the lower portion of our risk range. With the exception of the Energy segment, we believe that the BB- and B-rated segment of the market is fairly valued as fundamentals are

solid, economic growth remains positive, and liquidity is available. The Fund maintains a substantially reduced CCC-rated bonds exposure. We believe this defensive stance positions the Fund well in a market in which CCC-rated bonds continue to struggle due to weak economic growth and a persistently risk averse investor base.

Touchstone Impact Bond Fund

Sub-Advised by EARNEST Partners LLC

Investment Philosophy

The Touchstone Impact Bond Fund (the “Fund”) seeks current income. Capital appreciation is a secondary goal. The Fund invests primarily in fixed income securities or sectors that are considered undervalued for their risk characteristics.

Fund Performance

The Touchstone Impact Bond Fund (Class A Shares) outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the 12 month period ended September 30, 2022. The Fund’s total return was -14.52 percent (calculated excluding the maximum sales charge) while the benchmark’s total return was -14.60 percent.

Market Environment

While a 12-month period typically contains many noteworthy macroeconomic related market events, the last 12-months have been almost singularly focused on inflation and the U.S. Federal Reserve Board’s (“Fed”) response to it. The Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) peaked at 9.1% in June, having recently retraced to 8.3%. This is still well above where it was one year ago when it clocked in at 5.3%. The unemployment rate has improved from 5.2% to 3.5% over this same period. With the jobs market running at very healthy levels, the Fed turned its attention squarely at accelerating inflation. The central bank fears that inflation could become unanchored as it did in the 1980’s, which was due in part to the Fed’s inadequate response to inflation during the late 1970’s. They do not want to repeat this same mistake. In their own terms, the economy will not work for anybody if inflation is running at persistently high levels.

To combat inflation the Fed has turned hawkish for the first time since 2018. They have pushed the Federal Funds rate from 0.25% to 3.25% in the last twelve months and have indicated more rate hikes are likely needed. They have also committed to lowering the size of their balance sheet by up to $95B per month. These reductions will come from both its Treasury and Single-Family Mortgage Backed Securities (“MBS”) holdings.

This new monetary policy led to large increases in rate markets broadly. It has also led to a strong U.S. dollar, which decreases the attractiveness of U.S. fixed income for international investors seeking to hedge their currency risk. Unsurprisingly, the front-end of the curve has moved in sympathy with the Fed’s increases to its key policy rate. The yield of the two-year Treasury has increased from 0.28% to 4.28% over this period. The yield curve has become fully inverted, with the 3.90% yield of the 6-month Treasury Bill now exceeding that of the 30-year Treasury Bond’s yield of 3.78%. Moves on the long end of the curve are subject to many outside forces, and the moves higher this year have been aided by the combination of inflation and the nominal economic strength.

While riskier assets typically outperform during periods of safe-haven underperformance, this has not held in the current inflationary environment. This is largely because the inflation adjusted strength of the economy has not kept up with the nominal strength experienced. This weighs on real incomes, real spending, and real return prospects. The tighter financial policy is eventually expected to cut off the nominal strength as well. Combined, this has choked the return profile of riskier assets. While risky financial assets represent a large spectrum, relative to Treasuries all other assets receive a risk premium. This includes investment grade fixed income spread securities. Over the last twelve months, the spread compensation provided as a premium for the risk assumed, has widened. This widening has been large enough to offset any income related advantage. As such, all sectors underperformed matched duration Treasuries over the last 12-months.

The underperformance is widespread. A natural place to start is the U.S. Corporate Bond market, which has underperformed matched duration Treasuries. These securities have faced credit concerns, primarily related to inflation induced margin pressure and the cost of refunding debt in the higher rate environment. However, even high-quality corners of the market such as Single-Family MBS have underperformed matched duration Treasuries. This sector has suffered at the hands of interest rate volatility and the Fed’s plans to reduce their substantial MBS holdings. One of the better performing areas of the market is Multi-Family MBS, which has “only” underperformed matched duration Treasuries.

Portfolio Review

The macroeconomic environment has created a headwind on both an absolute and relative level. Absolute returns have suffered due to the increase in interest rates. The Fund’s overweight to spread products was the portfolio’s primary headwind (relative to the benchmark) during the period, as all major spread sectors underperformed matched duration Treasuries during the period.

Sector and security selection offset some of the losses from being broadly overweight spread securities. The largest example of this was the Fund’s overweight to Multi-Family MBS to complement the underweight to Single-Family MBS. The Fund’s overweight

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) (Continued)

to U.S. Agencies was also beneficial for the portfolio relative to other spread sector opportunities. Still, U.S. Agencies did underperform Treasuries. Corporate exposure benefited due to the high quality and low volatility nature of the business profiles in which issuers are engaged.

The Fund's primary positioning is unchanged. It remains overweight high quality spread bonds, underweight Treasuries, and underweight Single-Family MBS. It has retained its quality, relative interest rate sensitivity, structural advantage, and spread advantage.

The largest change during the period was the increase in Rate Reduction Bonds. This has long been a favored sector of our investment process. However, a lack of issuance over the last decade has caused the allocation to this sector to dwindle. Weather events led to a new wave of issuance during 2022. These securities have a tremendously positive impact on the communities and individuals they support. The structure and need for these securities is so strong that they are the only asset class that has never been downgraded from an AAA rating. Over the last twelve months the portfolio’s allocation to these bonds has increased by more than 3%. These purchases have largely come against allocations to various Agency and MBS sectors.

The Fund’s effective duration of 5.84 years continues to be approximately matched to that of the benchmark, representing 96% of the benchmark’s effective duration as of fiscal year end. The Fund entered the fiscal year at 97% of the benchmark’s duration. Throughout the course of the year, the duration profile fluctuated between the low to high 90 percentiles. While this range falls within our definition of being approximately duration neutral, due to the outsized and volatile moves in yields, the portfolio’s modestly shorter positioning did generate a relative performance benefit for the portfolio. This positioning was not a call on interest rates, but instead related to where we identified value within our risk management construct of remaining approximately duration and curve neutral.

The portfolio is actively managed to be approximately duration and yield curve neutral. Changes in the yield curve had little impact on the Fund’s relative performance during the period.

Outlook and Conclusion

As discussed, the macroeconomic backdrop has added to volatility and uncertainty. This in turn has created a market that at times has offered investment opportunities, which appear to have become dislocated from each other. As an example, we recently purchased a new Small Business Administration (“SBA”) bond that was issued with a spread of +120 basis points over the 10-year Treasury. A month earlier, a nearly identical bond was issued with a spread of +100 basis points. This +20 basis points of widening over the relevant period was more than any of its frequent comparables. Nothing about these securities changed, and they retain the same full faith and credit guarantee of the U.S. Government that they always have. These types of pricing dislocations provide active managers an opportunity to act patiently and capitalize on unusual opportunities to capture value.

Away from the volatility, the shape of the yield curve also provides attractive investment opportunities. While we will continue to run an approximately curve neutral portfolio, we will take some active positioning in securities across the curve due to the relative value the securities provide. In the medium term, shorter securities should not provide more yield than longer securities. Similarly, rolling down the yield curve from the 20-year point is a far more attractive total return proposition than rolling up the yield curve from the 30-year point. So long as we maintain an approximately curve and duration neutral profile, we will continue to seek to capture value along the yield curve as these types of opportunities are unique and infrequent in nature.

Lastly the Fed and their balance sheet reduction plans still loom somewhere in the background. The risk this poses to Agency Single-Family MBS remains significant. When the securities are priced cheaply, we will seek to add to them. However, the prospect of future selling by the Fed is a risk that needs to be properly accounted for when evaluating the attractiveness of the securities.

There are two large themes that the Fund is most exposed to, the first of which is the risk that inflation does become unanchored, moving to levels which causes a recession and subsequent rush into the safe haven that Treasuries represent. This buying could be exacerbated by being funded with indiscriminate selling of spread securities. In this scenario, the Fund’s significant underweight to Treasuries could become a large enough headwind to offset sector and security selection, which has held up during 2022.

Alternatively, if volatility were to subside in a serious manner and the Fed was simultaneously able to efficiently reduce its Single-Family MBS, we would face a material headwind due to the significant underweight to the sector, which can perform quite well during periods of zero volatility.

We continue to monitor each of these risks and the value propositions they create.

While fixed income markets this year have experienced an increase in volatility and unheralded losses, we do see three bright rays of light. The first is simple, yields are up. As part of a balanced portfolio, fixed income’s role becomes more appealing when its income can deliver 4-5% instead of 1%. Those higher yields also help offset any additional move higher in rates in a way that lower yields cannot. Additionally, while it still seems likely interest rates will increase on the front end of the curve that does not necessarily bode

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) (Continued)

true for longer portions of the curve which are influenced by many factors away from the actions of the Fed. Importantly, it is the intermediate and longer portions of the curve that matter for price related returns. With yields up, these bonds now provide more value as a hedge against an economic contraction. Lastly, due to the increase in spreads, the compensation for taking risk is at the highest levels in years.

Overall, in 2022 we have approached the spread market with more caution given all the cross currents. This has benefited performance. We are still unambiguously overweight high-quality spread-products while significantly underweight both Treasuries and products with poor structure such as Single-Family MBS. In a market where spreads have widened across the board, we are encouraged that the portfolio has hence far weathered the storm and been competitive.

We believe the Fund is well positioned going forward given the recent moves in spreads and that this leaves the Fund in a good starting place to earn more yield on both an absolute and relative basis going forward. Meanwhile, the Fund is positioned with a little extra dry powder that is invested in short and highly liquid Treasuries. We look forward to finding the right market dynamics and opportunities to redeploy that capital back into the spread market. We continue to view the Fund’s substantial underweight to Single Family-MBS as prudent given the risks the sector is exposed to, which are both fundamental and technical in nature.

Fund allocations to government debt has remained fairly consistent over the past twelve months. The biggest change is we have shifted more of the allocation into other diversified AAA rated assets as they became available during the second and third quarter of 2022. This caused the Fund’s weight to Agency rated bonds down to 45.4%, while increasing its exposure to other AAA rated bonds up. Across the various agency buckets, the proportions to SBA, Multi-Family MBS, Single-Family MBS, and other programs has remained quite consistent.

Touchstone International ESG Equity Fund

Sub-Advised by Rockefeller & Co. LLC

Investment Philosophy

The Touchstone International ESG Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund primarily invests in equity securities of non-U.S. companies and generally focuses on larger, more established companies. The Fund selects investments based on an evaluation of a company’s sustainability and impact practices which considers environmental, social and governance (ESG) impacts and risks of a company, how well the company manages these impacts and risks and ascertains the company’s willingness and ability to take a leadership position in implementing best practices.

Fund Performance

The Touchstone International ESG Equity Fund (Class A Shares) underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World ex-USA Index, for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022. The Fund’s total return was -29.67 percent (calculated excluding the maximum sales charge), while the total return of the benchmark was -25.17 percent.

Market Environment

The 12-month period ending September 30, 2022 was heavily influenced by surging inflation, a byproduct of aggressive U.S. Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) monetary policy during the pandemic. Additionally, the Russia-Ukraine war has created an environment of energy insecurity in the Eurozone and has contributed to economic deterioration in the region. New COVID-19 cases continue to linger globally, however, high vaccination rates and low fatality rates have desensitized the markets to COVID-19 related news outside of China where “Zero COVID-19” policy remains. Global equity markets were weak during this period. Chair of the Fed, Jerome Powell, maintained the view that inflation was “transitory” for the greater part of 2021 but ultimately pivoted in late November. He held this position while the U.S. Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) steadily rose from 1.4% in January 2021 to 6.8% as of the October 2021 reading. U.S. CPI would continue to climb, peaking in June 2022 at 9.1% and softened to 8.3% in August. The Fed initiated a rate hiking cycle in March 2022 nearly a year after CPI broke through 3.0%, and the Fed has been playing catchup ever since. The equity markets during the final 3 months of 2021 performed positively despite concerns around inflation and the COVID Omicron variant, and the MSCI All Country World ex-USA Index increased 1.9%. Global new issuance market was vibrant in 2021 with U.S. Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) deal count achieving 20-year highs and total IPO proceeds of over $140 billion was the largest in history. Elevated equity valuations were supportive of new capital formation but inflation and concerns regarding the magnitude of the Fed’s policy shift led to January declines. High inflation rates have weighed on consumer sentiment as well, as the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index collapsed to 59.4 in March 2022 and has remained at low levels.

The invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent sanctions against Russian entities have exacerbated the global inflation problem. Brent crude prices spiked north of $100/barrel, European gas prices tripled on the onset of the Russian attack and have since settled 50% higher, and grain prices have soared. In essence, European Union household disposable income declined as a result and corporate investment decisions will likely be re-evaluated in the coming quarters. Interest rate differentials have contributed to the U.S. dollar strength in the past year. The euro, Japanese yen and the Korean won declined. Foreign exchange volatility will present challenges to countries with limited natural resources, which are often priced in U.S. dollar, while export oriented nations may benefit from selling cheaper goods. Global markets continued to decline over the course of 2022 as economic uncertainty remains. While valuations have compressed across all major markets, earnings revisions may continue to drift lower as companies deal with volume challenges, high input costs, and foreign exchange volatility. Global Purchasing Managers’ Indices are descending into contraction territory that is likely to result in negative growth in the coming year. While this presents further volatility in the markets, valuations at decade lows suggests that negativity in the marketplace is adequately factored in. If Europe can navigate their energy supply through the winter months or Russia-Ukraine war can subside, we believe a case can be made for a recovery in the markets.

Portfolio Review

The Fund underperformed the benchmark during the period, due in large part to the portfolio’s underweight to Energy and Consumer Staples and its overweight position in Industrials. Consumer Discretionary was the most significant detracting sector, led lower by weakness in Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd. and Sony Group Corp. Alibaba has been impacted by fluctuating COVID-19 lockdowns in China, which has suppressed economic activity. The stock originally traded higher in second quarter 2022 based on expectations that retail sales would improve upon reopening. However, additional lockdowns in third quarter 2022 continues to impact commerce activity, causing a reversal. Alibaba’s earnings release reflected lower merchandise volume, but profitability was better due to cost control. We continue to be constructive on the name based on eventual normalization. In addition, the industry should reflect greater expense discipline after digesting regulatory changes. Sony lagged due to its exposure to consumer electronics goods including gaming. We believe that component shortages are the sole reason for the weaker installed based trajectory of game

consoles, slowing new game releases. Sony continues to maintain a leadership position in camera sensors, entertainment, and gaming while trading at attractive valuations. Koninklijke Philips N.V. was the single most significant detractor during the period as the company continues to struggle with the recall and remediation associated with their sleep apnea device, CPAP. Based on the share price performance, the market appears to be estimating a potential $10-$15 billion liability impact to Philips, which we believe, is too punitive. Deutsche Post AG, a leading European logistics company was also a top detractor, with shares underperforming as Europe faces weaker growth prospects. The company’s forward earnings multiple has decreased from 13x to 8x in 2022 which suggests ~40% earnings deterioration. While Deutsche Post may experience a cyclical decline in earnings, we are confident in the quality of the logistics infrastructure the company has built and the difficulty for new entrants to replicate. Communication Services and Financials were top contributors to relative performance during the period, helped by strong performance across portfolio holdings in both sectors.

Within Financials, ICICI Bank Ltd. was the largest positive contributor within the sector and the overall portfolio, followed by Intact Financial Corp., and OCBCBank. ICICI Bank continues to execute well as one of India’s largest financial institutions. Deposit and Loan growth of over 15% and ROE of 15% operating in an underbanked market, ICICI should reflect the growth opportunity of the Indian economy. Intact Financial Corp. is the leading Canadian property and casualty insurer and is currently in the process of integrating the acquisition of RSA Insurance Group, which will fortify their position in the U.K. and Ireland. Strong underwriting has led to double-digit net operating income per share and strategic capital deployment. OCBC Bank is a diversified Singapore listed financial institution with $349 billion in customer deposits with nearly half of the company’s business profits generated from Singapore and 16% from Malaysia. We believe OCBC’s geographical exposure provides insulation from global macro headwinds.

The strategy initiated positions in TotalEnergies SE, Volkswagen AG, and The London Stock Exchange. The Fund exited Enel SpA, Vonovia SE, Tele2 AB, Continental AG, Scor SE and E-Mart Inc. to fund more attractive opportunities.

Outlook and Conclusion

Energy insecurity is creating challenges for Europe as the spike in energy costs negatively impact disposable income and industrial activity. Reflecting this uncertainty, the European market is currently trading at 10.7x forward earnings or 65% of the U.S. market multiple, a 10-year low. Despite these headwinds, the energy crisis in Europe will create opportunities for companies involved in energy transition and efficiency, an area that the Fund’s portfolio is exposed to. In the U.S., we believe the risk of a recession remains low given the resilient job market. Recent data points also suggest that inflation has inflected downwards, and we believe it is likely that the Fed hiking cycle is nearing an end. Valuations have compressed across most sectors, and we are finding more investment opportunities. With major equity markets down in excess of 25% this year, the market is already pricing in an earnings deterioration in the coming quarters, and we will look to take advantage of stock dislocations to add undervalued businesses into the portfolio.

The Fund continues to be overweight Financials as the combination of positive interest rate sensitivity, company-specific opportunities, and improving fundamentals we believe will benefit our holdings. The sector holdings are comprised of a mix of life insurers, consumer finance companies, banks, property and casualty insurers, and other diversified financials that we believe are attractively valued. The Fund continues to own strong industrial franchises at attractive valuations where the macro risks surrounding global growth are impacting the share price performance, but we believe that these companies stand to benefit when global growth inflects positively. The strategy continues to be underweight Utilities and Materials. The underweighting in Consumer Staples has not changed. Valuations are generally expensive as investors have flocked to Staples as a defensive sector, choosing to trade off paying premium prices for perceived business stability, which we believe is incorrect. Fundamentals are weakening as aggressive pricing actions cannot forever offset rising costs and declining volumes.

Touchstone Mid Cap Fund

Sub-Advised by The London Company

Investment Philosophy

The Touchstone Mid Cap Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in common stocks of mid-cap U.S.-listed companies. The Fund utilizes a bottom-up security selection process that screens potential investments against a proprietary quantitative model for return on capital, earnings-to-enterprise value ratio, and free cash flow yield. Its goal is to purchase financially stable companies that are believed to consistently generate high returns on unleveraged operating capital, are run by shareholder-oriented managements and are trading at a discount to their respective private market values.

Fund Performance

The Touchstone Mid Cap Fund (Class A Shares) outperformed its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Index, for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022. The Fund’s total return was -14.13 percent (calculated excluding the maximum sales charge) while the benchmark’s total return was -19.39 percent.

Market Environment

For the 12-month period ending September 30, 2022, the major US stock indices declined. The first three months of the period were relatively strong reflecting reasonably strong economic growth and an accommodative monetary policy. As the period progressed, fears over the Omicron wave of COVID-19, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, fears of rising inflation and more hawkish comments and actions from the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (“Fed’) would impact the economy and cause broad based selling in the equity markets.

The Omicron strain of COVID-19 emerged late in 2021 and in February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, both of which have further constrained supply chains and stoked inflation. With regard to monetary policy, a strong labor market combined with high inflation resulted in a shift toward tighter monetary policy earlier in the year from the Fed.

The war in Ukraine has also caused Energy prices to spike with the price of crude oil moving from $70-80 per barrel pre-invasion to a high of approximately $130 post invasion. It has since settled out to the $85-100 range. This caused the Energy sector to be far and away the strongest sector during the period. Another strong sector was Utilities. All other sectors were negative for the period, with the weakest being Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary.

In terms of factors impacting stocks during the period, Value (except for low price to book), Yield, Quality (except for lower leverage), Size, and Momentum factors were the strongest. Volatility was the only group where the factors consistently performed poorly. Growth factors underperformed with the exception of dividend growth and while Quality overall was strong, companies with weaker balance sheets (more leverage) did better.

Portfolio Review

The weakest quarter in the period was the period from March 31 to June 30, 2022 and not surprisingly; this is where most of the outperformance for the period came from. We saw the Fund’s relative performance improve as the downturn progressed and should it continue, we believe investors will focus more on higher quality factors like return on capital, consistency of cash flow, and balance sheet flexibility.

During the period, both sector allocation and stock selection benefited relative performance, but stock selection was the predominant driver. At the sector level, an overweight position in Consumer Staples and an underweight position in Communication Services had a positive impact on relative performance, partially offset by and underweight positions in both Energy and Utilities.

In terms of stock selection, the best performing stocks based on relative performance versus the benchmark during the period were Lamb Weston Holding Inc. (Consumer Staples sector), Dollar Tree, Inc. (Consumer Discretionary sector), Alleghany Corp. (Financials sector), M&T Bank Corp. (Financials sector), and Post Holdings, Inc. (Consumer Staples sector).

The more challenged positions in the period were CarMax Inc. (Consumer Discretionary sector), Skyworks Solutions Inc. (Information Technology sector), Moelis & Co. (Financials sector), Entegris, Inc. (Information Technology sector), and Ball Corp. (Materials sector). Over the period we opened new positions in Lennox International Inc. (Industrials sector), BellRing Brands Inc. (Via Spinoff Post Holdings Inc.; Consumer Staples sector), and AerCap Holdings (Industrials sector) while we sold Haemonetics Corp. (Health Care sector) and Sensata Technologies Holding plc (Industrials sector).

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) (Continued)

Outlook and Conclusion

Looking ahead, as the Fed attempts to navigate a soft landing, economic growth may continue to decelerate. With persistently higher than desired inflation combined with a tight labor market, additional rate hikes are likely before year-end, while Quantitative Tightening will continue. This more restrictive monetary policy will continue to influence the economy. We recognize the lagged impact of monetary policy on the broader economy, so the odds of a recession over the next 12-18 months remain elevated.

On a positive note, the U.S. consumer remains in reasonably good shape. Unemployment is low, wages are rising, and there are still excess savings remaining from the pandemic. With consumer spending such an important part of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), the strong labor market could limit the downside risk to the economy over the next few months. Longer term, we remain positive on the U.S. economy and expect real GDP growth in the 2-3% range driven by growth in the labor force and improving productivity.

Longer term, we continue to believe that quality attributes and solid company fundamentals will benefit the portfolio over time. The companies in the Fund have historically generated higher returns on capital, had stronger balance sheets, and traded at reasonable valuations relative to the broader market.

We believe the quality of the Fund’s portfolio positions it well for the next few years, even if the market trades modestly higher. In an environment of possibly lower expected returns and greater volatility, we believe it offers an attractive option for equity investors. Our goal remains to outperform the broader market over full market cycles with less volatility.

Touchstone Mid Cap Value Fund

Sub-Advised by Leeward Investments, LLC

Investment Philosophy

The Touchstone Mid Cap Value Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks of medium capitalization companies. The Fund seeks to identify companies believed to be selling at a discount to their intrinsic value.

Fund Performance

The Touchstone Mid Cap Value Fund (Class A Shares) outperformed its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Value Index, for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022. The Fund’s total return was -9.04 percent (calculated excluding the maximum sales charge) while the benchmark’s total return was -13.56 percent.

Market Environment

The market environment created a mixed backdrop for the team’s investment process in the trailing 12-month period ending September 30, 2022. Quality and stability were rewarded, and factor data implies a bias toward defensive and stable characteristics. Low beta stocks have meaningfully outperformed high beta stocks, and stocks with higher yields have far outpaced stocks with zero yield. Companies with lower foreign sales have fared better than companies with greater foreign sales, a logical outcome given the events of the year on the geopolitical stage and, among other things, the enduring ripple effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The best performing sector in the benchmark over the last twelve months was Energy. Notable underperformers of the benchmark’s overall return in the period were Communication Services, Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology.

Portfolio Review

Performance was driven by strong stock selection and positive sector allocation. The portfolio had positive sector and stock contribution in eight out of eleven sectors in the period.

The best sector on a relative basis was Consumer Discretionary, led by strength in retailer Dollar Tree Inc. The portfolio also benefitted from having no exposure to the Consumer Services segment, which declined. Relative performance in the Industrials sector was helped by the portfolio’s overweight position in Regal Rexnord Corp. Regal Rexnord’s modestly positive return in the period outpaced results of the sector as a whole. The motion control manufacturer rebounded following an investor day highlighting faster top-line growth and continued margin expansion. No exposure to the Transportation segment in Industrials, along with no exposure to the Communications Services sector also helped relative performance.

Stock selection was weaker in the Information Technology sector. Rackspace Technology Inc. and Qorvo Inc. were the largest detractors. Rackspace has been plagued with operational challenges and given another change in their strategic direction (and an extension in the duration of their turnaround), we exited the position in third-quarter 2022. Qorvo sells products for wireless handsets and infrastructure, and COVID-19 lockdowns in China have intensified worries about the supply chain disruption for Apple and Android handsets.

Outlook and Conclusion

Despite declining performance for much of the past 12-months, global financial markets face several potential pitfalls. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board continues to fight inflation with interest rate hikes, dramatically increasing the odds of a recession. Some early signs of price stabilization are evident, gasoline, freight, and base commodities have all declined from their highs, but employment remains tight, and wages tend to be sticky. China’s COVID-19 policies have created continued speed bumps for global supply chains and demand remains lumpy. The situation in Ukraine continues to have extensive impacts. Europe’s economy is struggling as a slow recovery from the pandemic is being further stalled by record high energy prices and a constrained consumer. Notwithstanding these headwinds, earnings estimates have stayed resilient, and the market has yet to have the capitulation event that so often characterizes downturns.

Despite these market dynamics, we continue to hold fast and invest according to our process. Fundamentally we are looking for quality stocks, trading at a discount, with good risk/reward. We look for companies with strong management teams, high barriers to entry, solid balance sheets, and we continue to rigorously examine downside scenarios for our positions. We continue to find what we believe are attractively valued investment opportunities with favorable risk/reward profiles. While we do not believe in making short term projections, we believe these investments will outperform the market longer term.

Touchstone Sands Capital Select Growth Fund

Sub-Advised by Sands Capital Management, LLC

Investment Philosophy

The Touchstone Sands Capital Select Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation by primarily investing in common stocks of large capitalization U.S. companies that are believed to have above-average potential for revenue or earnings growth. The Fund typically invests in 25 to 35 companies. Sands Capital generally seeks stocks with sustainable above-average earnings growth and capital appreciation potential. In addition, Sands Capital looks for companies that have a significant competitive advantage, a leadership position or proprietary niche, a clear mission in an understandable business, financial strength and are valued rationally in relation to comparable companies, the market and the business prospects for that particular company.

Fund Performance

The Touchstone Sands Capital Select Growth Fund (Class A shares) underperformed its benchmark the Russell 1000® Growth Index for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022. The Fund’s total return was -54.73 percent (calculated excluding the maximum sales charge) while the total return of the benchmark was -22.59 percent.

Market Environment

U.S. growth equities (as measured by the Russell 1000® Growth Index) suffered from a historically aggressive rate hiking cycle in response to persistently elevated inflation. The drawdown in growth equities began in November 2021, with the high valuation businesses early in their profit cycle often seeing losses well in excess of the benchmark. The sell-off was broad-based with nine of eleven GICs sectors experiencing declines and the average index constituent well off its 52-week high.

Portfolio Review

Security selection was the primary driver of underperformance over the period. Selection detracted from relative results across the six sectors where the strategy held exposure, yet businesses held in the Communication Services and Information Technology sectors accounted for the bulk of the impact. Over this period, the significant tightening of financial conditions disproportionately affected the high growth, high valuation businesses that composed a portion of our portfolio and weighed on stock selection. Sector allocation was a modest detractor from results due to the overweight to the Communication Services sector.

The top five individual absolute contributors for the period were Sarepta Therapeutics Inc. (Health Care sector), CoStar Group Inc. (Industrials sector), Zillow Group Inc. (Real Estate sector), Datadog Inc.(Information Technology sector), and Zoetis Inc. (Health Care sector). The top five detractors were Sea Limited (Communication Services sector), Block Inc. (Information Technology sector), Match Group Inc. (Communication Services sector), Shopify Inc. (Information Technology sector), and ServiceNow Inc. (Information Technology sector).

The Fund’s sector exposures are largely a byproduct of our bottom-up investment process and remained largely the same over the period. Information Technology sector exposure remained the portfolio’s largest absolute weight. Communication Services sector exposure remained the largest relative weight, yet our absolute weighting in the sector is roughly half its level from a year ago. The portfolio has no exposure to the Consumer Staples, Energy, Financials, Materials, Real Estate, and Utilities sectors.

Over the course of the period, the Fund’s high growth, high valuation businesses were impacted by the market sell-off to a greater degree than its growth compounder businesses. As a result, the Fund has taken investment actions to add to many high growth, high valuation businesses that we believe have seen disproportionate declines in share price, relative to our long-term fundamental outlook. Semiconductors represents one industry we have increased exposure through the addition of NVIDIA Corp. and Datadog. We remain underweight the industry yet to a lesser degree than 12 months ago.

Turnover for the period of 25 percent was in-line with its five-year average. The market drawdown and elevated volatility of high growth, high valuation businesses created opportunities for us to shed businesses that we viewed as more mature and understood by the market, while adding and/or purchasing businesses that we believe have seen share price declines that are not commensurate with our long-term expectations for earnings growth.

Outlook and Conclusion

Volatility remains high, and the mid-August market pivot shows how quickly sentiment—and markets—can change. Rather than trying to guess the market’s next move in the near-term, we remain focused on corporate fundamentals, which history demonstrates to be the primary driver of long-term returns.

Table of Contents

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) (Continued)

We have stress tested and re-evaluated our investment cases given the turbulent economic and market environment, and are confident that the businesses we own remain well positioned to deliver above-average growth over the next five years.

Below are some examples of the secular drivers underpinning the growth of our portfolio businesses:

Emerging Internet Leaders

Digitalization of the economy continues, and the next generation of internet businesses are disrupting the status quo by reducing transactional frictions, increasing transparency, and eliminating inefficiencies. These companies are focusing on large verticals and building industry-specific solutions that result in a better customer experience while reinforcing their competitive moats. Portfolio beneficiaries include Airbnb Inc. (Consumer Discretionary sector), CoStar Group Inc. (Industrials sector), Match Group Inc. (Communication Services sector), and Uber Technologies Inc. (Technology sector).

Financial Services Digitalization

The combination of modern technology and disruptive customer acquisition models are fundamentally re-architecting how financial products are designed, manufactured, and distributed, with software displacing paper and bank branches in each stage of the process. New technologies are enabling broader access to basic financial products and adding innovative layers of intelligence and automation. We see value accruing to both companies creating a new generation of digitally native financial infrastructure as well as companies leveraging that infrastructure to build differentiated experiences for end users. Portfolio beneficiaries include Block Inc. (Information Technology sector), Intuit Inc. (Information Technology sector), Sea Ltd. (Consumer Discretionary sector), and Visa (Information Technology sector).

Life Sciences Innovation

Over the next decade, we view genes and genomics, minimally invasive technologies, consumerization of health care, the humanization of pets, and globalization of innovation as the most important secular trends in life sciences. We focus on investing in businesses that are changing the standard-of-care, providing best-in-class “picks and shovels” to biopharma and life science researchers, and meaningfully improving access and cost in healthcare delivery. Portfolio beneficiaries include Align Technology Inc. (Health Care sector), Dexcom (Health Care sector), Edwards Lifesciences (Health Care sector), and Sarepta(Health Care sector).

Shifting IT Spend from Maintenance to Agility

Information technology spending continues to shift toward innovations that make enterprises more agile and efficient. In the last decade, cloud-based software disrupted legacy, on-premise systems within well-defined market opportunities. The next generation of SaaS leaders is enabling new businesses and processes, serving as the enablers of an increasingly digital-first economy. These businesses are often typified by user-driven adoption, consumption-based licensing, and competitive advantages driven by network effects and ecosystem partners. Portfolio beneficiaries include Atlassian Corp. (Information Technology sector), Cloudflare Inc. (Information Technology sector), ServiceNow Inc. (Information Technology sector), and Snowflake Inc. (Information Technology sector).

The primary risk the Fund seeks to manage is permanent loss of capital resulting from a negative business or investment outcome. Since earnings growth tends to drive stock-price returns over the long term, we closely monitor factors that could erode the underlying earnings power of the Fund's businesses. We also seek to mitigate opportunity cost, as failing to invest in value-creating businesses is also detrimental to long-term results. In both cases, we believe that our six investment criteria are our most powerful risk management tool, as they are designed to help us identify those businesses most likely to sustainably generate above-average growth over our investment horizon.

In the near term, we expect inflation, and subsequently, monetary policy to continue to have an outsized influence on investment results. A significant amount of uncertainty exists around the terminal level of the Federal Funds rate. As a result, markets have seen dramatic swings in style leadership as expectations for monetary policy have rapidly evolved, with investors favoring businesses with slower growth and strong cash flow over earlier-stage growth businesses.

The poor sentiment in equity markets conflicts with the recent earnings results and long-term outlook of our businesses, in our view. The volatile operating environment induced by the distortions of the COVID-19 pandemic and fiscal stimulus has led us to re-underwrite each portfolio holding. In most cases, our long-term earnings expectations are unchanged.

We believe this disconnect between market sentiment and business fundamentals presents an opportunity. Valuations are now back to long-term averages, driving our expected returns to multi-year highs. Importantly, from these levels we expect earnings growth, rather than changes in valuation, to be the primary driver of share price results. We remain confident the businesses in the Fund's portfolio will deliver above-average earnings growth, and in our view, the increasingly challenging macro-economic environment presents an opportunity for the Fund's businesses to improve their competitive position and emerge stronger.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) (Continued)

We have long invested the Fund in businesses that are driving and/or benefiting from digitalization, and the pandemic has accelerated this shift. We expect digitization will proliferate faster than previous technology-driven shifts (e.g. the telephone, electricity, personal computers), and with unprecedented scale, touching nearly every aspect of commerce and daily life. Businesses can reach more customers faster than ever, a dynamic that we expect will lead to quicker margin expansion for the select few businesses driving and/or benefiting from the digital shift.

Touchstone Small Cap Fund

Sub-Advised by The London Company

Investment Philosophy

The Touchstone Small Cap Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks of U.S. companies with small market capitalizations. The Fund utilizes a bottom-up security selection process that screens potential investments against a proprietary quantitative model for return on capital, earnings-to-enterprise value ratio, and free cash flow yield. Its goal is to purchase financially stable companies that are believed to consistently generate high returns on unleveraged operating capital, are run by shareholder-oriented managements and are trading at a discount to their respective private market values.

Fund Performance

The Touchstone Small Cap Fund (Class A Shares) outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000^® Index, for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022. The Fund’s total return was -10.75 percent (calculated excluding the maximum sales charge) while the benchmark’s total return was -23.50 percent.

Market Environment

For the 12-month period ending September 30, 2022, the major U.S. stock indices declined. The first three months of the period was relatively strong reflecting reasonably strong economic growth and an accommodative monetary policy. As the period progressed, fears over the Omicron wave of COVID-19, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, fears of rising inflation and more hawkish comments and actions from the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) would impact the economy and cause broad based selling in the equity markets.

The war in Ukraine has also caused Energy prices to spike with the price of crude oil moving from $70-80 per barrel pre-invasion to a high of approximately $130 post invasion. It has since settled out to the $85-100 range. This caused the Energy sector to be the strongest sector during the period. Another strong sector was Utilities. All other sectors were negative for the period, with the weakest being Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary.

Portfolio Review

The strongest sectors for the market in the period were Energy and Utilities. All other sectors were negative for the period with the weakest being Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary.

Both sector allocation and stock selection contributed to relative performance; stock selection was the predominant driver. At the sector level, an underweight position in Health Care and an overweight position in Industrials had a positive impact on relative performance, partially offset by an underweight position in Energy and an overweight position in the Consumer Discretionary sector.

In terms of stock selection, the best performing stocks based on relative performance were Murphy USA Inc. (Consumer Discretionary sector), White Mountains Insurance Group Ltd. (Financials sector), Qualys Inc. (Information Technology sector), GCP Applied Technologies Inc. (Materials sector), and CTS Corporation (Information Technology sector).

The more challenged positions based on relative performance were Tempur Sealy International Inc. (Consumer Discretionary sector), Moelis & Co. (Financials sector), LivaNova plc (Health Care sector), Cannae Holdings Inc. (Financials sector), and Masonite International Corp.(Industrials sector).

Touchstone Small Cap Value Fund

Sub-Advised by Leeward Investments, LLC

Investment Philosophy

The Touchstone Small Cap Value Fund (the "Fund") seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in common stocks of small capitalization companies. The Fund seeks to identify companies believed to be selling at a discount to their intrinsic value.

Fund Performance

The Touchstone Small Cap Value Fund (Class A Shares) outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index, for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022. The Fund’s total return was -11.04 percent (calculated excluding the maximum sales charge) while the benchmark’s total return was -17.69 percent.

Market Environment

The market environment created a mixed backdrop for the team’s investment process in the trailing 12-month period ending September 30, 2022. The tailwinds toward the close of 2021 were followed by an environment in 2022 marked by crosscurrents and market shifts.

The best performing sector in the benchmark over the last twelve months was Energy. Notable underperformers of the benchmark’s overall return of -17.69% in the period were Communication Services, Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary.

Portfolio Review

The Fund’s larger size versus the benchmark helped performance, along with low exposure to the lowest return on equity quintile and a bias toward lower beta.

Performance was primarily driven by strong stock selection, as well as contributions for sector allocation. The best performing sector on a relative basis was Materials, led by strength in Livent Corp. and Cabot Corp. Livent continued to produce strong results: the company has raised guidance on better-than-expected price realization and has announced plans to increase capacity. Cabot posted strong results and raised fiscal year guidance on its fiscal first quarter call. Industry capacity is tight, and Cabot experienced strong pricing that more than covered inflationary costs. Its conductive carbon products are gaining share in electric vehicle batteries and are driving faster than expected growth. Outperformance in Consumer Discretionary was concentrated in Murphy USA Inc. The company announced a $1B stock buyback late in 2021, and its fuel business continued to benefit from a higher level of normalized earnings power. The company also benefitted from the rollout of its loyalty program, which drives traffic even during periods of economic distress. The Fund’s underweight to Communication Services helped relative performance, and as meme stocks have fallen in and out of favor, not owning AMC Entertainment provided a boost to trailing 12-month returns.

Energy was the largest detractor by sector in the Fund, and the portfolio’s underweight accounted for much of the shortfall. The sector outperformed on strength in commodity prices, as investors worry supply will not be sufficient to meet demand. The Financials sector also detracted, as strength in the Fund’s Insurance and Diversified Financials exposure wasn’t enough to offset weakness in banks.

Outlook and Conclusion

Despite declining performance for much of the past twelve months, global financial markets face several potential pitfalls. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board continues to fight inflation with interest rate hikes, dramatically increasing the odds of a recession. Some early signs of price stabilization are evident, gasoline, freight, and base commodities have all declined from their highs, but employment remains tight, and wages tend to be sticky. China’s COVID policies have created continued speed bumps for global supply chains and demand remains lumpy. The situation in Ukraine continues to have extensive impacts. Europe’s economy is struggling as a slow recovery from the pandemic is being further stalled by record high energy prices and a constrained consumer. Notwithstanding these headwinds, earnings estimates have stayed resilient, and the market has yet to have the capitulation event that so often characterizes downturns.

Despite these market dynamics, we continue to hold fast and invest according to our process. Fundamentally, we are looking for quality stocks, trading at a discount, with good risk/reward. We look for companies with strong management teams, high barriers to entry, solid balance sheets, and we continue to rigorously examine downside scenarios for our positions. We continue to find what we believe are attractively valued investment opportunities with favorable risk/reward profiles. While we don’t believe in making short term projections, we believe these investments will outperform the market longer term.

Touchstone Ultra Short Duration Fixed Income Fund

Sub-Advised by Fort Washington Investment Advisors, Inc.

Investment Philosophy

The Touchstone Ultra Short Duration Fixed Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks maximum total return consistent with the preservation of capital by primarily investing in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities of different maturities, including U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise securities, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, municipal bonds and cash equivalent securities including repurchase agreements and commercial paper. While the Fund may invest in securities of any maturity or duration, interest rate risk is managed by seeking to maintain an effective duration of one year or less under normal market conditions.

Fund Performance

The Touchstone Ultra Short Duration Fixed Income Fund (Class A Shares) underperformed its primary benchmark, the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, and outperformed its secondary benchmark, the ICE BofA 1-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index, for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022. The Fund’s total return was -0.80 percent (calculated excluding the maximum sales charge) while the total returns of its benchmarks were 0.62 percent and -1.95 percent, respectively.

Market Environment

As we look back on the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022 for the Fund, the market environment today is unrecognizable compared with the environment from a year ago. The fourth quarter of 2021 saw markets eagerly processing every developing bit of information about COVID-19 vaccine efficacy. The worst of the Delta variant seemed to be subsiding, but it was followed closely by Omicron which seemed to pose an even-more-contagious threat. Inflation was top of mind as pandemic-related supply chain disruption was driving price increases, but “transitory” was the phrase of the day (which did not age well).

Ultra Short Duration markets offered a stable low-yield, tight-spread environment throughout 2021—a relatively calm beginning of the Fund’s fiscal year 2022. The short end of the Treasury curve was anchored near zero by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board’s (“Fed”) Funds rate, while the 10 Year Treasury yielded 1.50%. In December 2021, a decades-high 7% inflation point spooked markets, but given the arguably transient nature of pandemic-driven supply chain disruptions, it was widely expected to be the peak. Markets at the time expected inflation to moderate toward 2.5% by year-end. To the contrary, inflation continued to rise into the beginning of 2022, and the Fed finally began to pivot toward a monetary tightening outlook, expressing increasing concern about bringing inflation under control.

Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions had been escalating in Eastern Europe, culminating with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In addition to the humanitarian and ethical concerns surrounding the invasion, it also added to global inflationary pressures by disrupting energy and commodity markets. It was within this context that the Fed launched its monetary tightening effort with the first post-pandemic rate hike of 25 basis points in March, 2022.

The subsequent half of the Fund’s fiscal year was a game of cat-and-mouse as markets were perpetually surprised by the strength and persistence of inflationary pressure and labor market data in spite of the Fed’s escalating tightening efforts. Treasury rates increased and risk markets sold off as markets iteratively processed the reality that more-severe Fed tightening action that would be needed to get inflation under control. Aside from a brief risk-on tone during the beginning of the third quarter, risk markets have generally spent the fiscal year in a strong risk-off tone, with the S&P 500 Index down—having given back all of the gains from the prior calendar year 2021.

Over the course of the Fund’s fiscal year, the Fed has increased rates by a total of 300 basis points over the course of five meetings. Treasuries in the 6-12 month part of the curve are approximately 400 basis points higher year-over-year, while the 10-year Treasury is 230 basis points higher. In accord with risk assets in general, spreads across Ultra Short Duration subsectors widened out materially by 50-100 basis points off the historically-tight levels during 2021 to top-quartile (wide) levels as of the Fund’s fiscal year-end.

Portfolio Review

In an abnormally volatile fiscal year, significant increases in both interest rates and in spreads were key drivers of performance. Aside from 3-Month Treasury-Bills, markets offered almost no safe haven for investors over the past 12 months. The Fund maintained historically-low interest rate risk positioning around 0.50 years over the course of the fiscal year, with spread duration limited but

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) (Continued)

generally stable around 1 year. While this helped minimize the impact of higher rates, wider spreads, and significant volatility throughout the year, it was an extremely challenging environment for any type of risk asset or fixed income product to produce positive returns.

Coming off the Fed’s Zero Interest Rate Policy environment was an exceptionally flat ultra short duration landscape (from both a rates and a spread perspective) at the beginning of the Fund’s fiscal year. This low-yield starting point provided very little cushion to absorb rate increases or spread widening without returns dipping below zero. Even so, the ultra-short space has provided a safe haven on a relative basis—considering, for example, that the selloff in the broader U.S. bond market overall has been the worst in history on a year-to-date basis.

Within the Fund, the sectors with the strongest nominal returns for the fiscal year were Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS), Agency Debenture and Asset- Backed Securities (ABS), while the worst returning subsectors were Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) -2.13%, Corporates -1.06%, and Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO) +0.22%. Every major subsector outperformed its respective short duration ICE BoAML subsector index.

Duration positioning remained consistent around a half a year over the course of the Fund’s fiscal year, and credit quality was unchanged at AA-. ABS and CMBS exposure decreased, while CLO and RMBS exposure increased. These changes were made as a function of relative value opportunities within the market, and in response to our desire to maintain low duration positioning via floating rates securities.

The Fund is positioned at period end with duration of 0.53 years, which detracted from returns relative to the ICE BoAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, but enhanced returns relative to the ICE BofA 1-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index.

Changes in the yield curve had a dramatic effect on performance during the 12-month period. Treasury rates in the 6 month to 2-year part of the curve were nearly 400 basis points higher year-over-year. The portfolio has been able to absorb a remarkable amount of rate-driven negative mark-to-market price action while still providing a relative safe haven in comparison with other fixed income sectors or other risk assets.

Outlook and Conclusion

We are maintaining our strong bias toward Structured Products (CMBS, ABS, RMBS and CLOs) over corporate credit, favoring the structural protections, cash flow profile, and additional spread available for a given credit quality. We have also benefited from having had adequate liquidity within the Fund to satisfy all redemption activity organically (as designed) as opposed to some market participants who have been forced sellers in a “buyers’ market.” We have been able to capitalize on that dynamic, being a liquidity provider to market participants who are forced to pay the bid/ask spread.

We believe the greatest concern going forward pertains to the Fed’s ability to manage the inflation problem in the U.S., and whether they will be able to do so without pushing the economy into a deep recession. Through the Fund’s fiscal year-end, inflationary pressures have proven to be more stubborn than the market or the Fed had anticipated, and it seems increasingly less-likely that the Fed will be able to achieve the soft-landing that was initially targeted.

Other areas of concern include the geopolitical tensions surrounding the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as concern around China’s slowing growth prospects and real estate crisis. Domestically, we continue to keep close watch on the health of the Consumer, as we proceed into a period of normalization/deterioration off the COVID-19 pandemic stimulus-driven strength. We maintain a close dialogue with lenders who fund via securitization markets, to identify any areas of concern around their underwriting/risk modeling, loan structuring, or portfolio performance as we move forward into what we expect to be a recessionary environment.

Going forward, we expect the investing landscape to continue to be challenging from a volatility standpoint, and for certain fundamentals to likely deteriorate as monetary policy continues to tighten. Even so, we are confident about the Fund’s current positioning. With limited interest rate risk and significant carry (even while maintaining a historically high AA- credit quality), the Fund is poised to generate an attractive total return in spite of the elevated degree of spread and interest rate volatility we expect to see.

The Fund continues to be positioned with a very short duration position of just over a half a year, a high-quality bias with average credit quality of AA-, and an overweight to Structured Products versus Corporate Credit. In spite of this short duration, high quality bias, the Fund is well positioned to be able to absorb a meaningful degree of interest rate or spread volatility going forward relative to other fixed income or risk assets.

(1)	If the Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying investments comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or investments equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying investments comprising the referenced index.
(2)	The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.
(3)	The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements on the underlying bond serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative had the notional amount of the swap agreement been closed/sold as of the period end. Decreasing market values (sell protection) or increasing market values (buy protection) when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity's credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

1. Organization

The Touchstone Funds Group 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 Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated October 25, 1993. The Trust consists of the following thirteen funds (individually, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”):

Touchstone Active Bond Fund ("Active Bond Fund”)

Touchstone Anti-Benchmark® International Core Equity Fund ("Anti-Benchmark® International Core Equity Fund”)

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 goal, 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:

Each Fund is an investment company that follows the accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies.

Security valuation and fair value measurements — U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 fair value. The Funds define the term “market value”, as used throughout this report, as the estimated fair value. The Funds use various methods to measure fair value of

116

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

their 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.

The aggregate value by input level, as of September 30, 2022, for each Fund’s investments, is included in each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments, which also includes a breakdown of the Fund’s investments by geographic, credit quality and/or sector allocation. The Anti-Benchmark® International Core Equity Fund, the Ares Credit Opportunities Fund and the Impact Bond Fund held Level 3 categorized securities during the year ended September 30, 2022. Refer to the Portfolio of Investments for a reconciliation of Level 3 holdings.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

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 or at the time as of which the NYSE establishes official closing prices). 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. Options and futures are valued at the last quoted sales price. If there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, long option positions are valued at the most recent bid price, and short option positions are valued at the most recent ask price on the valuation date and are categorized in Level 1. Shares of mutual funds in which the Funds invest are valued at their respective net asset value (“NAV”) as reported by the underlying funds and are categorized in Level 1.

Debt securities held by the Funds are valued at their evaluated bid by an independent pricing service or at their last broker-quoted bid prices as obtained from one or more of the major market makers for such securities. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values through accepted market modeling conventions. Observable inputs to the models may include prepayment speeds, pricing spread, yield, trade information, dealer quotes, market color, cash flow models, the securities’ terms and conditions, among others, and are generally categorized in Level 2. Investments in bank loans are normally valued at the bid quotation obtained from dealers in loans by an independent pricing service in accordance with the Funds' valuation policies and procedures established by Touchstone Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) and adopted by the Funds' Board of Trustees (the “Board”), and are generally categorized in Level 2. Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are valued by independent pricing services using models that consider estimated cash flows of each tranche of the security, establish a benchmark yield and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche, and are generally categorized in Level 2. Debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be 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 fair value, as determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower than the price that would be received if the Fund sold the investment.

Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices and are determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available and are categorized in Level 2.

Securities mainly traded on a non-U.S. exchange or denominated in foreign currencies 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 are 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 is generally categorized in Level 2. This may cause the value of the security, if held on the books of a 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.

117

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

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 established by the Advisor and adopted by the Funds' Board and are generally categorized in Level 3.

Bank Loans – The Active Bond Fund, Ares Credit Opportunities Fund and Ultra Short Duration Fixed Income Fund may invest in bank loans, which usually take the form of loan participations and assignments. Loan participations and assignments are agreements to make money available to U.S. or foreign corporations, partnerships or other business entities (the “Borrower”) in a specified amount, at a specified rate and within a specified time. A loan is typically originated, negotiated and structured by a U.S. or foreign bank, insurance company or other financial institution (the “Agent”) for a group of loan investors (“Loan Investors”). The Agent typically administers and enforces the loan on behalf of the other Loan Investors in the syndicate and may hold any collateral on behalf of the Loan Investors. Such loan participations and assignments are typically senior, secured and collateralized in nature. The Fund records an investment when the Borrower withdraws money and records interest as earned. These loans pay interest at rates which are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. These base lending rates are generally the prime rate offered by a designated U.S. bank or London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”).

The loans in which the Fund invests may be subject to some restrictions on resale. For example, the Fund may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent and/or Borrower prior to the sale of these investments. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the Borrower. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the Borrower, the selling participant and any other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the Borrower (“Intermediate Participants”). In the event that the Borrower, selling participant or Intermediate Participants become insolvent or enter into bankruptcy, the Fund may incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest.

Unfunded commitments represent the remaining obligation of the Fund to the Borrower. At any point in time, up to the maturity date of the issue, the Borrower may demand the unfunded portion. Until demanded by the Borrower, unfunded commitments are not recognized as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Unrealized appreciation/depreciation on unfunded commitments presented on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities represents fair value of the unfunded portion of the Fund’s bank loans.

As of September 30, 2022, the Ares Credit Opportunities Fund had an unfunded loan commitment of $417,768 for TIBCO Software, Second Lien Bridge Loan.

Collateralized Loan Obligations — The Active Bond Fund, Ares Credit Opportunities Fund and Ultra Short Duration Fixed Income Fund may invest in collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). CLOs are types of asset-backed securities. A CLO is an entity that is backed by syndicated bank loans. The cash flows of the CLO can be split into multiple segments, called “tranches,” which will vary in risk profile and yield. The riskiest segment is the subordinated or “equity” tranche. This tranche bears the greatest risk of defaults from the underlying assets in the CLO and serves to protect the other, more senior, tranches from default in all but the most severe circumstances. Since it is shielded from defaults by the more junior tranches, a “senior” tranche will typically have higher credit ratings and lower yields than their underlying securities, and often receive higher ratings from one or more of the nationally recognized rating agencies. Despite the protection from the more junior tranches, senior tranches can experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, increased sensitivity to future defaults and the disappearance of one or more protecting tranches as a result of changes in the credit profile of the underlying pool of assets.

Investment companies — The 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 (“OTC”). 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. ETF shares 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 the other investment companies invest. Investments 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.

Securities sold short — The Funds may engage 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 September 30, 2022, the Ares Credit Opportunities Fund had securities sold short as shown on the Portfolio of Investments.

Options — The Funds may write or purchase financial option contracts primarily to hedge against changes in the value of equity securities (or securities that the Funds intend to purchase), against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates and against changes in overall equity market volatility. In addition, the Funds may utilize options in an attempt to generate gains from option premiums or to reduce overall portfolio risk. The Funds’ option strategy primarily focuses on the use of writing and/or purchasing call or put options on equity indexes. When the Funds write or purchase an option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the Funds is recorded as a liability or an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written or purchased. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options which expire unexercised are treated by the Funds on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of the purchase or proceeds from the sale in determining whether the Funds have realized a gain or loss on investment transactions. The Funds, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. The Funds, as purchaser of an option, bear the risk that the counterparties to the option may not have the ability to meet the terms of the option contracts. There is minimal counterparty credit risk involved in entering into option contracts since they are exchange-traded instruments and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded options, guarantees the options against default. The maximum risk of loss associated with writing put options is the notional amount as presented in the Portfolio of Investments. In certain circumstances, the maximum risk of loss amounts may be partially offset by recovery values of the respective referenced assets and upfront premium received upon entering into the contract. The maximum risk of loss associated with writing call options is potentially unlimited. As of September 30, 2022, the Funds did not hold any purchased or written options.

Warrants — The Funds may invest in warrants and stock purchase rights of companies of any market capitalization. A warrant gives the holder the right to buy stock, typically from the issuer. The warrant specifies the amount of underlying stock, the purchase (or "exercise") price, and the date the warrant expires. Certain warrants may permit, without legal obligation, net settlement for stock or cash. The Funds have no obligation to exercise the warrant and buy the stock.

Futures Contracts — The Active Bond Fund and Ares Credit Opportunities Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and related options to manage their 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. When a Fund purchases or sells a futures contract, or sells an option thereon, a Fund must deposit initial margin and, in some instances, daily variation margin, to meet its obligations under a contract with a futures commission merchant.

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.

As of September 30, 2022, the Active Bond Fund held futures contracts as shown on the Portfolio of Investments.

Swap Contracts — The Ares Credit Opportunities Fund may enter into swap transactions to help enhance the value of its portfolio or manage its exposure to different types of investments. Swaps are financial instruments that typically involve the exchange of cash flows between two parties on specified dates (settlement dates), where the cash flows are based on agreed-upon prices, rates, indexes, etc. The nominal amount on which the cash flows are calculated is called the notional amount. Swaps are individually negotiated and structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors, such as interest rates, foreign currency rates, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, security prices, indexes or inflation rates.

Swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall volatility of the investments of a Fund and its share price. The performance of swap agreements may be affected by a change in the specific interest rate, currency, or other factors that determine the amounts of payments due to and from a Fund. If a swap agreement calls for payments by a Fund, the Fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. In addition, if the counterparty’s creditworthiness declines, the value of a swap agreement would be likely to decline, potentially resulting in losses.

Generally, bilateral swap agreements and OTC swaps have a fixed maturity date that will be agreed upon by the parties. The agreement can be terminated before the maturity date only under limited circumstances, such as default by one of the parties or insolvency, among others, and can be transferred by a party only with the prior written consent of the other party. The Fund may

be able to eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement either by assignment or by other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or a similarly creditworthy party. If the counterparty is unable to meet its obligations under the contract, declares bankruptcy, defaults or becomes insolvent, a Fund may not be able to recover the money it expected to receive under the contract.

Cleared swaps are transacted through futures commission merchants that are members of central clearinghouses with the clearinghouses serving as a central counterparty. Pursuant to rules promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, central clearing of swap agreements is currently required for certain market participants trading certain instruments, and central clearing for additional instruments is expected to be implemented by regulators until the majority of the swaps market is ultimately subject to central clearing.

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon values received from third party vendors or quotations from market makers. For OTC swaps, any upfront premiums paid or received are recorded as assets or liabilities, respectively, and are shown as premium paid on swap agreements or premium received on swap agreements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For swaps that are centrally cleared, initial margins, determined by each relevant clearing agency or clearing member, are posted at a clearing broker in accordance with CFTC or the applicable regulator's regulations. The change in value of swaps, including accruals of periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Daily changes in the value of centrally cleared swaps are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivable or payable for variation margin on swap agreements and settled daily. Upfront premiums and liquidation payments received or paid are recorded as realized gains or losses at the termination or maturity of the swap. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Fund are recorded as realized gain or loss.

A swap agreement can be a form of leverage, which can magnify a Fund’s gains or losses. In order to reduce the risk associated with leveraging, the Fund will only enter into a swap agreement subject to the regulatory limitations set forth in Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act (the "Derivatives Rule").

As of September 30, 2022 , the Ares Credit Opportunities Fund held swap agreements as shown on the Portfolio of Investments.

Effective August 19, 2022 (the “Compliance Date”), the Derivatives Rule replaced the asset segregation regime of Investment Company Act Release No. 10666 (“Release 10666”) with a new framework for the use of derivatives by registered funds. As of the Compliance Date, the SEC rescinded Release 10666 and withdrew no-action letters and similar guidance addressing a fund's use of derivatives and began requiring funds to satisfy the requirements of the Derivatives Rule. As a result, on or after the Compliance Date, the Funds will no longer engage in “segregation” or “coverage” techniques with respect to derivatives transactions and will instead comply with the applicable requirements of the Derivatives Rule. Centrally-cleared swap contracts are subject to clearinghouse rules, including initial and variation margin requirements, daily settlement of obligations and the clearinghouse guarantee of payments to the broker.

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.

Forward foreign currency contracts — The Active Bond Fund and the Ares Credit Opportunities Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a specific currency at a price that is set on the date of the contract. The forward contract calls for delivery of the currency on a future date that is specified in the contract. Risks related to the use of forwards include the possible failure of counterparties to meet the terms of the forward agreement, the failure of the counterparties to timely post collateral, the risk that currency movements will not occur thereby reducing a Fund’s total return, and the potential for losses in excess of a Fund’s initial investment.

The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses, equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency.

During the year ended September 30, 2022, the Ares Credit Opportunities Fund used forward foreign currency contracts to enhance potential gains, hedge against anticipated currency exchange rates, maintain diversity and liquidity of the portfolio and/or adjust exposure to foreign currencies.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

Real Estate Investment Trusts — The Funds may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) that involve risks not associated with investing in stocks. Risks associated with investments in REITs 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.

Master Limited Partnership — The Funds may invest in Master Limited Partnership (“MLP”) common units that represent limited partnership interests in the MLP. Common units are generally listed and traded on U.S. securities exchanges or OTC with their value fluctuating predominantly based on the success of the MLP. Unlike owners of common stock of a corporation, owners of MLP common units have limited voting rights and have no ability to annually elect directors. MLPs generally distribute all available cash flow (cash flow from operations less maintenance capital expenditures) in the form of quarterly distributions. Common unit holders have first priority to receive quarterly cash distributions up to the minimum quarterly distribution and have arrearage rights. Distributions received from MLPs generally are comprised of income and return of capital. Investment income and return of capital are recorded based on estimates made at the time distributions are received. The actual amounts of income and return of capital are only determined by each MLP 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. In the event of liquidation, common unit holders have preference over subordinated units, but not debt holders or preferred unit holders, to the remaining assets of the MLP.

Pay-In-Kind (“PIK”) Bonds — PIK bonds are securities that, at the issuer’s option, pay interest in either cash or additional securities for a specified period. PIK bonds, like zero coupon bonds, are designed to give an issuer flexibility in managing cash flow. PIK bonds are expected to reflect the market value of the underlying debt plus an amount representing accrued interest since the last payment. PIK bonds are usually less volatile than zero coupon bonds, but more volatile than cash pay securities.

Derivative instruments and hedging activities — The Active Bond Fund and the Ares Credit Opportunities Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement” or “MNA”) or similar agreement with certain counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives and foreign exchange contracts, and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and master netting provisions in the event of a default or termination. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a party may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables or receivables with collateral held or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting). These default events include bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset.

When entering into a derivative transaction, a Fund may be required to post and maintain collateral or margin (including both initial and variation margin). Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the broker or clearing house for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives (financial futures contracts, options, and centrally cleared swaps). Brokers can ask for margining in excess of the clearing house’s minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives (forward foreign currency contracts, options, and swaps). For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund and the counterparty. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, are reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash deposits held at prime broker and due to prime broker, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Portfolio of Investments. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.

Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives transactions to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event a Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund (counterparty) to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty (Fund).

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Portfolio securities loaned — The Funds may lend their portfolio securities. Lending portfolio securities exposes the Funds 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 short-term investment vehicle. The approved short-term investment vehicle is subject to market risk.

As of September 30, 2022, the following Funds loaned securities and received collateral as follows:

Fund	Security Type	Market Value of Securities Loaned*	Market Value of Collateral Received**	Net Amount***
Anti-Benchmark® International Core Equity Fund	Common Stocks	$79,170	$83,219	$4,049
Ares Credit Opportunities Fund	Corporate Bonds	6,803,566	7,118,869	315,303

International ESG Equity Fund	Common Stocks	715,914	738,513	22,599
Small Cap Fund	Common Stocks	2,453,587	2,475,674	22,087
Small Cap Value Fund	Common Stocks	632	666	34

*	The remaining contractual maturity is overnight for all securities.
**	Gross amount of recognized liabilities for securities lending included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
***	Net amount represents the net amount payable due to (received from) the borrower in the event of default.

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 in cash equivalents.

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 daily trading volumes, float, short-term interest rates and market liquidity and is shown net of fees on the Statements of Operations. When a Fund lends securities, it retains the interest or dividends on the investment of any cash received as collateral, and the 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 Fund. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover any loaned securities from the borrower on demand.

When-issued or delayed delivery transactions — Each Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Fund to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Fund assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining NAV. The Fund may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Fund has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Fund does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security. When-issued or delayed delivery transactions physically settling within 35-days are deemed not to involve a senior security. When-

issued or delayed delivery transactions that do not physically settle within 35-days are required to be treated as derivatives transactions in compliance with the Derivatives Rule.

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 equity funds (all of the Funds except the Active Bond Fund, Ares Credit Opportunities Fund, High Yield Fund, Impact Bond Fund and Ultra Short Duration Fixed Income Fund) is equal to the NAV per share plus a sales load equal to 5.26% of the NAV (or 5.00% of the offering price). The maximum offering price per share of Class A shares of the Active Bond Fund, Ares Credit Opportunities Fund, High Yield Fund and Impact Bond Fund is equal to the NAV per share plus a sales load equal to 3.36% of the NAV (or 3.25% of the offering price). The maximum offering price per share of Class A shares of the Ultra Short Duration Fixed Income Fund is equal to the NAV per share plus sales load equal to 2.04% of the NAV (or 2.00% of the offering price). There is no sales load on equity or fixed income fund purchases when aggregate purchases in all Touchstone funds equal at least $1 million or $500,000, respectively. The maximum offering price per share of Classes C, S, Y, Z, Institutional Class and R6 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 purchase due to the aggregate purchase amount in all Touchstone Funds equaling at least $1 million for equity funds or $500,000 for fixed income funds where a Finder’s Fee was paid may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of up to 1.00% or 0.50%, for equity or fixed income funds, respectively, 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% if redeemed within a one-year period from the date of purchase. 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.

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. Realized gains and losses resulting from principal paydowns on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are included in interest income. Market discounts, original issue discounts and market premiums on debt securities are accreted/amortized to interest income over the life of the security or to the appropriate call date, as applicable, with a corresponding adjustment in the cost basis of that security. In addition, it is the Funds’ policy to accrue for foreign capital gains taxes, if applicable, on certain foreign securities held by the Funds. An estimated foreign capital gains tax is recorded daily on net unrealized gains on these securities and is payable upon the sale of such securities when a gain is realized.

Distributions to shareholders — Each Fund intends to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its income and capital gains. The Anti-Benchmark® International Core Equity Fund, International ESG Equity Fund, Mid Cap Fund, Sands Capital Select Growth Fund, and Small Cap Fund distribute their income, if any, annually, as a dividend to shareholders. The Dividend Equity Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, and Small Cap Value Fund declare and distribute their income, if any, quarterly, as a dividend to shareholders. Prior to April 1, 2022, the Ares Credit Opportunities Fund distributed its income, if any, quarterly, as a dividend to shareholders. Beginning April, 2022, the Ares Credit Opportunities Fund distributes its income, if any, monthly, as a dividend to shareholders. The Active Bond Fund, High Yield Fund and Impact Bond Fund declare and distribute their income, if any, monthly, as a dividend to shareholders. The Ultra Short Duration Fixed Income Fund declares its income, if any, daily, and distributes such income monthly, 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 from investments in underlying funds is affected by the timing of dividend declarations by the 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, Touchstone ETF Trust, Touchstone Strategic Trust and Touchstone Variable Series 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 (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.

LIBOR Transition — Many debt securities, derivatives and other financial instruments in which the Funds may invest, as well as any borrowings made by the Funds from banks or from other lenders, utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the reference or benchmark index for interest rate calculations. LIBOR is a measure of the average interest rate at which major global banks can borrow from one another. Plans are underway to phase out the use of LIBOR by June 30, 2023. The ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, the administrator of LIBOR, ceased publishing certain LIBOR maturities, including some U.S. LIBOR maturities, on December 31, 2021, and is expected to cease publishing the remaining and most liquid U.S. LIBOR maturities on June 30, 2023. Before then, it is expected that market participants have or will transition to the use of different reference or benchmark indices. However, there is currently no definitive information regarding the future utilization of LIBOR or of any particular replacement index. As such, the potential effect of a transition away from LIBOR on the Funds’ investments cannot yet be determined.

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 ("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, the Advisor’s annual administrative fee is:

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

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 on the basis of relative daily net assets and is included in Administration Fees on Statement of Operations.

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 Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. ("Transfer Agent"), the Transfer Agent to the Funds 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, the Transfer Agent receives a monthly fee from each Fund. In addition, each Fund pays out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Transfer Agent, 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, which are included in Transfer Agent fees in the Statements of Operations, 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.

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 fees charged to the Funds are limited to the actual expenses incurred. Under the Class A plan, the Funds pay 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 (except the Ultra Short Duration Fixed Income Fund) pays an annual fee not to exceed 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). The Ultra Short Duration Fixed Income Fund has limited the amount of the 12b-1 fees for Class C shares to 0.75% of average daily net assets. Under the Class S plan, the Ultra Short Duration Fixed Income Fund pays an annual shareholder servicing fee not to exceed 0.50% of average daily net assets that are attributable to Class S shares (of which up to 0.25% is a distribution fee and up to 0.25% is a shareholder servicing fee).

5. Liquidity

ReFlow Fund LLC — The Funds may participate in the ReFlow Fund LLC liquidity program (“ReFlow”), which is designed to provide an alternative liquidity source for funds experiencing redemptions. In order to pay cash to shareholders who redeem their shares on a given day, a fund typically must hold cash in its portfolio, liquidate portfolio securities, or borrow money. ReFlow provides participating funds with another source of cash by standing ready to purchase shares from a fund up to the amount of the fund’s net redemptions on a given day, cumulatively limited to 3% of the outstanding voting shares of a Fund. ReFlow then generally redeems those shares (in cash or in-kind) when the Fund experiences net sales, at the end of a maximum holding period

6. 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 and tax-exempt 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.

The tax character of distributions paid for the years or periods ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 for all Funds except for the Dividend Equity Fund, which is for the year ended September 30, 2022, the eleven months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended October 31, 2020, are as follows:

The Funds have analyzed their tax positions taken or to be taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended September 30, 2019 through 2022) and have concluded that no provision for income tax is required in their financial statements.

Certain reclassifications, the result of permanent differences between financial statement and income tax reporting requirements, have been made to the components of capital as presented on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. These reclassifications have no impact on the net assets or NAV per share of the Funds. The following reclassifications, which are primarily attributed to the tax treatment of deemed distributions on shareholder redemptions, in-kind distributions on shareholder redemptions, net operating loss, excess distributions, and various temporary book/tax differences due to mergers have been made to the following Funds for the year or period ended September 30, 2022:

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.

8. Principal Risks

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 a Fund, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Political and military events, including in North Korea, Venezuela, Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Syria, and other areas of the Middle East, and nationalist unrest in Europe and South America, may cause market disruptions. 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.

Risks Associated with Sector 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 in the Funds' NAVs and magnified effect on the total return.

Risks Associated with Credit – An issuer may be unable to make timely payments of either principal or interest. This may cause the issuer’s securities to decline in value. Credit risk is particularly relevant to those Funds that invest a significant amount of their assets in junk bonds or lower-rated securities.

Risks Associated with Cyber Security - With the increased use of technologies, such as mobile devices and "cloud"-based service offerings and the dependence on the Internet and computer systems to perform necessary business functions, the Funds' service providers are susceptible to cyber security risks that could result in losses to a Fund and its shareholders. Cyber security breaches are either intentional or unintentional events that allow an unauthorized party to gain access to Fund assets, customer data, or proprietary information, or cause a Fund or Fund service provider to suffer data corruption or lose operational functionality. A cyber security breach could result in the loss or theft of customer data or funds, loss or theft of proprietary information or corporate data, physical damage to a computer or network system, or costs associated with system repairs, any of which could have a substantial impact on a Fund. Cyber security incidents could cause a Fund, the Advisor, a Sub-Advisor, or other service provider to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, compliance costs associated with corrective measures, litigation costs, or financial loss. They may also result in violations of applicable privacy and other laws. In addition, such incidents could affect issuers in which a Fund invests, thereby causing the Fund’s investments to lose value.

Risks Associated with Interest Rate Changes – The price of debt securities is generally linked to the prevailing market interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, the price of debt securities falls, and when interest rates fall, the price of debt securities rises. The price volatility of a debt security also depends on its maturity. Longer-term securities are generally more volatile, so the longer the average maturity or duration of these securities, the greater their price risk. Duration is a measure of the expected life, taking into account any prepayment or call features of the security, that is used to determine the price sensitivity of the security for a given change in interest rates. Specifically, duration is the change in the value of a fixed-income security that will result from a 1% change in interest rates, and generally is stated in years. For example, as a general rule a 1% rise in interest rates means a 1% fall in value for every year of duration. Maturity, on the other hand, is the date on which a fixed-income security becomes due for payment of principal. An increase in interest rates could negatively impact a Fund’s NAV. Recent and potential future changes in government monetary policy may affect interest rates. As the U.S. Federal Reserve "tapers" or reduces the amount of securities it purchases pursuant to its quantitative easing program, and/or raises the federal funds target rate, there is a heightened risk that interest rates will rise, which could expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility and could cause the value of a Fund's investments, and the Fund's NAV, to decline, potentially suddenly and significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund's performance.

Risks Associated with Liquidity – Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to purchase or sell. This can reduce the Fund’s returns because the Fund may be unable to transact at advantageous times or prices, or at all.

Risks Associated with Leverage – The use of leverage (borrowing money to purchase properties or securities) will cause the Fund to incur additional expenses and significantly magnify losses in the event of underperformance of the assets purchased with borrowed

134

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

money. In addition, a lender may terminate or refuse to renew any credit facility. If the Fund is unable to access additional credit, it may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, which may further depress the returns of the Fund.

Risks Associated with Health Crises – A widespread health crisis such as a global pandemic could cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, which may lead to less liquidity in certain instruments, industries, sectors or the markets generally, and may ultimately affect Fund performance. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted and may continue to result in significant disruptions to global business activity and market volatility due to disruptions in market access, resource availability, facilities operations, imposition of tariffs, export controls and supply chain disruption, among others. The impact of a health crisis and other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future, could affect the global economy in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen at the present time. A health crisis may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks. Any such impact could adversely affect a Fund's performance, resulting in losses to your investment.

Please see the Funds’ prospectus and statement of additional information for a complete discussion of these and other risks.

9. Litigation

On June 18, 2020, Touchstone Ares Credit Opportunities Fund f/k/a Touchstone Arbitrage Fund, and Touchstone Ares Credit Opportunities Fund f/k/a Touchstone Merger Arbitrage Fund (the “Fund”) were served with a summons and complaint in litigation brought by Marc S. Kirschner, as Trustee for the NWHI Litigation Trust (the “Trustee”) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”), captioned Kirschner v. Kimmel, et al., No. 20-04287 (the “Action”). In the Action, the Trustee alleged that the payments made to former shareholders in the April 2014 leveraged buyout of The Jones Group Inc. (“Jones Group”) constituted intentional and constructive fraudulent transfers, and sought to recover those payments. The Trustee sought to recoup from the Fund the amount the Fund received in the leveraged buyout, together with interest and costs. The Fund has not made an accrual with respect to these amounts as Fund management deems the possibility of payment to be remote. The Action was consolidated into a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned In re: Nine West LBO Securities Litigation, 20-md-02941 (the “MDL”). The Fund, along with hundreds of other shareholder defendants in the MDL, moved to dismiss the Action, and the Court heard oral argument on the motion to dismiss in August 2020. On August 27, 2020, the Court dismissed the fraudulent transfer claims in the MDL with prejudice. On September 25, 2020, the Trustee filed notices of appeal to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals for certain of the cases in the MDL where a direct appeal could be taken, captioned In re: Nine West LBO Securities Litigation, 20-3257, and subsequently filed appeals for additional cases in the MDL, to include the Action. On March 5, 2021, the Trustee filed its appellate brief in the Second Circuit. On July 6, 2021, the shareholder defendants filed their brief in opposition to the Trustee's appeal, and on August 5, 2021, the Trustee filed its reply brief. The Second Circuit held oral argument on the Court's dismissal of the Trustee's complaint on March 10, 2022 and has not yet rendered a decision.

10. 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 held on August 18, 2022, the Advisor proposed, and the Board approved, a reverse stock split of the Touchstone Sands Capital Select Growth Fund's issued and outstanding Class C shares (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The Reverse Stock Split was completed on October 14, 2022 (the "Effective Date"). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, for each Class C share of the Fund that a shareholder owned as of the Effective Date, the shareholder received a proportional number of Class C shares of the Fund with the same aggregate dollar value. Thus, the total dollar value of an investment in the Fund was unchanged and each shareholder continues to own the same percentage (by value) of the Fund immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as the shareholder owned immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split was not a taxable event, nor did it have an impact on the Fund's holdings or its performance. The Reverse Stock Split was carried out in accordance with a stock split ratio of 1 to 0.796098, calculated to result in a net asset value per share that better aligns the share class prices of the Fund. The shares outstanding, NAV per share and other per share information have been updated in the accompanying financial statements and the financial highlights to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.

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

four years in the period ended October 31, 2020 for the Touchstone Dividend Equity Fund were audited by other auditors whose reports dated November 22, 2021 and December 23, 2020, expressed unqualified opinions on the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers or by others, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Touchstone Investments’ investment companies since 1999.

Schedule of Shareholder Expenses

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees; shareholder servicing 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 (April 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022).

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 September 30, 2022” 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.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line for 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.

Liquidity Risk Management

The Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the “LRM Program”) as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Rule 22e-4 requires that each Fund adopt a program that is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk, which is the risk that a Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in a Fund.

Assessment and management of a Fund’s liquidity risk under the LRM Program takes into consideration certain factors, such as a Fund’s investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, its short- and long-term cash-flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, and its cash and cash-equivalent holdings and access to other funding sources. As required by the rule, the LRM Program includes

policies and procedures for classification of Fund portfolio holdings in four liquidity categories, maintaining certain levels of highly liquid investments, and limiting holdings of illiquid investments.

The Board of Trustees of the Trust approved the appointment of a LRM Program administrator responsible for administering the LRM Program and for carrying out the specific responsibilities set forth in the LRM Program, including reporting to the Board on at least an annual basis regarding the LRM Program’s operation, its adequacy, and the effectiveness of its implementation for the past year (the “Program Administrator Report”). The Board has reviewed the Program Administrator Report covering the period from May 15, 2021 through May 12, 2022 (the “Review Period”). The Program Administrator Report stated that during the Review Period the LRM Program operated adequately and effectively in promoting effective liquidity risk management for the Funds.

Changes in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On November 18, 2021, the Board of Trustees approved a change of the Touchstone Dividend Equity Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022. The Fund engaged Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022 replacing Tait, Weller & Baker LLP (“Tait”), the Fund's previous independent registered public accounting firm. Tait's report on the financial statements for the Fund for the fiscal period ended September 30, 2021 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor was its report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle. There were no (i) disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Fund and Tait on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure or (ii) reportable events (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

Disclose the audit committee's pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

The Audit Committee’s pre-approval policies describe the types of audit, audit-related, tax and other services that have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The pre-approval policies provide that annual audit service fees, tax services not specifically granted pre-approval, services exceeding pre-approved cost levels and other services that have not received general pre-approval will be subject to specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The pre-approval policies further provide that the Committee may grant general pre-approval to other audit services (statutory audits and services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings), audit-related services (accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “audit services,” assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities, agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures related to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under Form N-CSR), tax services that have historically been provided by the auditor that the Committee believes would not impair the independence of the auditor and are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence and permissible non-audit services classified as “all other services” that are routine and recurring services.

(e)(2)

All of the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of Item 4 were approved by the Audit Committee.

(f)

The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant's engagement to audit the registrant's financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time, permanent employees was less than fifty percent.

(g)

The aggregate non-audit fees for Touchstone Funds Group Trust and certain entities*, totaled approximately $605,095 and $465,691 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

These include the advisors (excluding non-affiliated sub-advisors) and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the advisors that provides ongoing services to the registrant (Funds).

(h)

The registrant's audit committee of the board of trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.
