† | Touchstone Total Return Bond Fund acquired all of the assets and liabilities of EARNEST Partners Fixed Income Trust (“Predecessor Fund”) in a reorganization on August 1, 2011. The Predecessor Fund's performance and financial history have been adopted by Touchstone Total Return Bond and will be used going forward. As a result, the information prior to August 1, 2011 reflects that of the Predecessor Fund. |
†† | Per share data prior to August 1, 2011, reflects a 1.01491:1 stock split. All per share amounts prior to that date have been adjusted to reflect the stock split. |
(A) | Effective August 1, 2011, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to September 30 and Investor Class shares were renamed Class A shares. |
(B) | Represents the period from commencement of operations (August 16, 2010) through March 31, 2011. |
(C) | This amount per share is a loss for the Class A shares because of the short time period since the Commencement of Operations on August 16, 2010 relative to the full fiscal year in which the Class Y shares were in operation. The loss during this period is offset by the gain in the Class Y shares during the full fiscal year to create a gain in the Net Realized and Unrealized Gain on Investments in the other classes. |
(D) | Total returns shown exclude the effect of applicable sales loads. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. |
(E) | Not annualized. |
(F) | Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and, consequently, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns for shareholder transactions. |
(G) | Annualized. |
(H) | Portfolio turnover excludes the purchases and sales of the Old Mutual Barrow Hanley Core Bond Fund acquired on April 16, 2012. If these transactions were included, portfolio turnover would have been higher. |

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 a Declaration of Trust dated October 25, 1993. The Trust consists of multiple funds including the following thirteen funds (individually, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”):

2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the Funds’ significant accounting policies:
Security valuation and fair value measurements — All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. The Funds define the term “market value”, as used throughout this report, as the estimated fair value. The Funds use various methods to measure fair value of their portfolio securities on a recurring basis. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) establish a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
· | Level 1 | – | quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
· | Level 2 | – | other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
· | Level 3 | – | significant unobservable inputs (including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market instruments are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the 1940 Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.
The aggregate value by input level, as of March 31, 2014, for each Fund’s investments, as well as a reconciliation of assets for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, if applicable, is included in each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments, which also includes a breakdown of the Fund’s investments by geographic, portfolio or sector allocation. The Funds did not hold any Level 3 categorized securities during the six months ended March 31, 2014.
All transfers in and out of the levels are recognized at the value at the end of the period. During the six months ended March 31, 2014, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 for all Funds, except as shown in the Portfolio of Investments for the Emerging Markets Equity Fund.
The Funds’ portfolio securities are valued as of the close of the regular session of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). Portfolio securities traded on stock exchanges are valued at the last sale price, and to the extent these securities are actively traded, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Portfolio securities quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Securities not traded on a particular day, or for which the last sale price is not readily available, are valued at their last broker-quoted bid prices as obtained from one or more of the major market makers for such securities by an independent pricing service and are categorized in Level 2. Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices as obtained from one or more of the major market makers for such securities by an independent pricing service and are categorized in Level 2. Money market instruments and other debt securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value and are categorized in Level 2. While this method provides consistency in valuation (and may only be used if it approximates market value), it may result in periods during which value, as determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower than the price that would be received if the Fund sold the investment. Securities for which market quotations or the NOCP are not readily available are fair valued as determined by or under the direction of the Board ofTrustees (the “Board”) and are categorized in Level 3. Shares of open-end mutual funds in which the Funds invest are valued at their respective net asset values (“NAV”) as reported by the underlying funds and are categorized in Level 1. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and translated into U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates.

Level 2 Valuation — Securities mainly traded on a non-U.S. exchange are generally valued according to the preceding closing values on that exchange. However, if an event that may change the value of a security occurs after the time that the closing value on the non-U.S. exchange was determined, but before the close of regular trading on the NYSE, the security may be priced based on fair value. This may cause the value of the security, if held on the books of a Fund, to be significantly different from the closing value on the non-U.S. exchange and may affect the calculation of that Fund’s NAV. Any debt securities held by a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are generally priced at their most recent bid prices as obtained from one or more of the major market makers for such securities.
Level 3 Valuation — Securities held by the Funds that do not have readily available market quotations, or securities for which the available market quotations are not reliable, are priced at their fair value using procedures approved by the Funds’ Board.
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. |
Investment companies — Certain Funds may invest in securities of other investment companies, including exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), open-end funds, and closed-end funds. Open-end funds are investment companies that issue new shares continuously and redeem shares daily. Closed-end funds are investment companies that typically issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a securities exchange or over-the-counter. An ETF is an investment company that typically seeks to track the performance of an index by holding in its portfolio shares of all the companies, or a representative sample of the companies, that are components of a particular index. ETFs are traded on a securities exchange based on their market value. The risks of investment in other investment companies typically reflect the risks of the types of securities in which investment companies invest. Investments 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 periodically engage in selling securities short, which obligates a Fund to replace a security borrowed by purchasing the same security at the current market value. A 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. A Fund would realize a gain if the price of the security declines between those dates. As of March 31, 2014, the Arbitrage Fund and Merger Arbitrage Fund held securities sold short with a fair value of $77,297,300 and $242,736,337 and had securities with a fair value of $0 and $212,357,573 held as collateral and cash collateral of $72,733,295 and $213,705,981 for both securities sold short and written options, respectively.
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 call 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
110 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
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 writers 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 purchasers 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. Options 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. As of March 31, 2014, the Arbitrage Fund and Merger Arbitrage Fund held written options with a fair value of $98,570 and $427,997 and had securities with a fair value of $0 and $212,357,573 held as collateral and cash collateral of $72,733,295 and $213,705,981 for both securities sold short and written options, respectively. The Arbitrage and Merger Arbitrage Fund also held purchased options with a fair value of $78,405 and $375,055, resepctively, as of March 31, 2014.
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 — 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 the Fund’s total return, and the potential for losses in excess of the 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 six months ended March 31, 2014, the Arbitrage Fund, the International Fixed Income Fund, and the Merger Arbitrage Fund used forward foreign currency contracts to enhance potential gains, hedge against anticipated currency exchange rates, maintain diversity and liquidity of the portfolio and adjust exposure to foreign currencies.
Derivative instruments and hedging activities — In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Funds mitigate their counterparty risk, the Funds may enter into an International
111 |

Swaps and Derivatives Associations, 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 over-the-counter (“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 instrument’s 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 maintenance 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 (foreign currency exchange 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, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, 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. A Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives transactions to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the 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 to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
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.
As of March 31, 2014, the derivative assets and liabilities (by type) on a gross basis for the Funds were as follows:

Portfolio securities loaned — Each Fund may lend its portfolio securities. Lending portfolio securities exposes a Fund to the risk that the borrower may fail to return the loaned securities or may not be able to provide additional collateral or that the Funds may experience delays in recovery of the loaned securities or loss of rights in the collateral if the borrower fails financially. To minimize these risks, the borrower must agree to maintain cash collateral with the Funds’ custodian. The loaned securities are secured by collateral valued at least equal, at all times, to the market value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest if any. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the security lending agreement. The cash collateral is reinvested by the Funds’ custodian into an approved investment vehicle. The approved investment vehicle is subject to market risk.

Small Cap Value Fund | 5,204,279 | 5,379,679 |
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.
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. A lending Fund retains the interest or dividends on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The lending Fund continues to receive interest or dividends on the loaned securities.
Unrealized gain or loss on the market value of the loaned securities that may occur during the term of the loan is recognized by the lending Fund. The lending Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
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 delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. 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.
Share valuation — The NAV per share of each class of shares of each Fund is calculated daily by dividing the total value of a Fund’s assets attributable to that class, less liabilities attributable to that class, by the number of outstanding shares of that class.
The maximum offering price per share of Class A shares of the Funds (except the International Fixed Income Fund, Total Return Bond Fund and Ultra Short Duration Fixed Income Fund) is equal to the NAV per share plus a sales load equal to 6.10% of the NAV (or 5.75% of the offering price). The maximum offering price per share of Class A shares of the International Fixed Income Fund and Total Return Bond Fund is equal to the NAV per share plus a sales load equal to 4.99% of the NAV (or 4.75% 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 purchases of $1 million or more of Class A shares. The maximum offering price per share of Classes C, Y, Z, and Institutional Class shares of the Funds is equal to the NAV per share.
The redemption price per share of each class of shares of the Funds is generally equal to the NAV per share. However, Class A redemptions that were part of a no-load $1 million subscription may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of up to 1.00% if redeemed within a one-year period from the date of purchase.
115 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
Additionally, purchases of Class C shares of the Funds are subject to a CDSC of 1.00% that will be assessed on an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the NAV at the time of purchase of the shares being redeemed or (2) the NAV of such shares being redeemed if redeemed within a one-year period from the date of purchase.
Investment income — Dividend income from securities is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding taxes, if any, which are reduced by any amounts reclaimable by the Funds, where applicable. Interest income from securities is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted. Realized gains and losses resulting from principal paydowns on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are included in interest income. Market discounts, original issue discount (“OID”) and market premiums on debt securities are accreted/amortized to interest income over the life of the security 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 Arbitrage Fund, Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Merger Arbitrage Fund, Mid Cap Fund, and Small Cap Core Fund distribute their income, if any, annually, as a dividend to shareholders. The Global Real Estate Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, Sands Capital Select Growth Fund, and Small Cap Value Fund declare and distribute their income, if any, quarterly, as a dividend to shareholders. The International Fixed Income Fund, Premium Yield Equity Fund, and Total Return 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 that invest in underlying funds is affected by the timing of dividend declarations by underlying funds.
Allocations — Investment income earned, realized capital gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation and depreciation for a Fund are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund. Class-specific expenses are charged directly to the class incurring the expense. Common expenses, which are not attributable to a specific class, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon their proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund. Expenses not directly billed to a Fund are allocated proportionally among all the Funds in the Trust, and, if applicable, in Touchstone Investment Trust,Touchstone Strategic Trust,Touchstone Variable Series Trust,Touchstone Institutional Funds Trust, and Touchstone Tax-Free Trust (collectively with the Trust, “Touchstone Fund Complex”), daily in relation to net assets of each Fund or another reasonable measure.
Security transactions — Security transactions are reflected for financial reporting purposes as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified cost basis.
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.

Federal income tax — It is each Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. As provided therein, in any fiscal year in which a Fund so qualifies and distributes at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, the Fund (but not the shareholders) will be relieved of federal income tax on the income distributed. It is each Fund’s policy to distribute all of its taxable income and accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made.
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also each Fund’s intention to declare and pay as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its investment company taxable income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ending October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.
The tax character of distributions paid are as follows:

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

* The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds. The provisions of the Act are effective for each fiscal year end for the Funds’ beginning October 1, 2011. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses must be utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may be utilized. Under the Act, new capital losses may now be carried forward indefinitely, and retain the character of the original loss as compared with pre-enactment law, where capital losses could be carried forward for up to eight years, and carried forward as short-term capital losses, irrespective of the character of the original loss.
** May be subject to limitation.
The capital loss carryforwards may be utilized in future years to offset net realized capital gains, if any, prior to distributing such gains to shareholders.

The Funds have analyzed their tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended September 30, 2010 through 2013) and have concluded that no provision for income tax is required in their financial statements.
6. Commitments and Contingencies
The Funds indemnify the Trust’s officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
7. Risk Associated with Foreign Investments
Some of the Funds may invest in the securities of foreign issuers. Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the U.S. may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitations on the removal of funds or other assets of the Fund, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the U.S., and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers, and issuers than in the U.S.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
8. Risk Associated with Concentration
Certain Funds invest a high percentage of their assets in specific sectors of the market in order to achieve a potentially greater investment return. As a result, these Funds may be more susceptible to economic, political, and regulatory developments in a particular sector of the market, positive or negative, and may experience increased volatility on the Fund’s NAV and magnified effect on the total return.
9. 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.
10. Risks Associated with Interest Rate Changes
As interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income securities a Fund owns will likely decrease. 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. There may be less governmental intervention in the securities markets in the near future. The negative impact on fixed income securities if interest rates increase as a result could negatively impact a Fund’s net asset value.
11. Fund Mergers
Ultra Short Duration Fixed Income Fund:
At a meeting held on February 21, 2013, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization providing for the transfer of all assets and liabilities of the Touchstone Short Duration Fixed Income Fund to the Touchstone Ultra Short Duration Fixed Income Fund. The tax-free merger took place on May 17, 2013.
The following is a summary of shares outstanding, net assets, net asset value per share and unrealized appreciation immediately before and after the reorganization.

12. Litigation
In January 2012, the Old Mutual Mid-Cap Fund (which reorganized into the TS&W Mid-Cap Value Fund in March 2009, the Touchstone Mid Cap Value Opportunities Fund in April 2012 and the Touchstone Mid Cap Value Fund in March 2014) was served with a summons and complaint in an action brought by Edward S. Weisfelner, as Trustee of the LB Creditor Trust, in the case captioned Weisfelner v. Fund 1(U.S. Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Adv. Pro. No. 10-4609) (the “Action”). The Action alleges that, under state law, all payments made to shareholders in the December 2007 leveraged buyout of Lyondell Chemical Company were made, by means of intentional and constructive fraudulent transfer and seeks to recover all those payments. The amount sought to be disgorged is $3,784,800, which is what the Fund received in payments in connection with the leveraged buyout. The Fund (along with thousands of other defendants) has filed a joinder to the currently pending motion to dismiss and awaits the court’s ruling on that motion. The path the litigation will follow (including whether it will proceed at all) depends on the outcome of that ruling; however, it is uncertain when that ruling will come down. At this nascent stage of the litigation, it is not possible to assess the likely outcome. The Fund is currently assessing the case and has not yet determined the potential effect, if any, on its net asset value.

Quarterly Portfolio Disclosure
The Trust files a complete listing of portfolio holdings for each Fund as of the end of the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The complete listing (i) is available on the Commission’s website; (ii) may be reviewed and copied at the Commission’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC; and (iii) will be made available to shareholders upon request by calling 1.800.543.0407. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1.800.SEC.0330.
Schedule of Shareholder Expenses
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including reinvested dividends or other distributions; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014).
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 March 31, 2014” 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), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table below is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreement Approval Disclosure
At a meeting held on November 21, 2013, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”) of the Touchstone Funds Group Trust (the “Trust”), and by a separate vote, the Independent Trustees of the Trust, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Advisor with respect to each Fund of the Trust, and the continuance of each Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Advisor and each Fund’s respective Sub-Advisor, with the exception of the Sub-Advisory Agreement relating to Touchstone Global Real Estate Fund, which was not up for renewal because it had been approved in February 2013.
In determining whether to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Advisor furnished information necessary for a majority of the Independent Trustees to make the determination that the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the respective Funds and their shareholders. The information provided to the Board included: (1) industry data comparing advisory fees and expense ratios of comparable investment companies; (2) comparative performance information; (3) the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ revenues and costs of providing services to the Funds; and (4) information about the Advisor’s and Sub-Advisors’ personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements with management and with experienced independent legal counsel and received materials from such counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement. The IndependentTrustees also reviewed

Other Items (Unaudited) (Continued)
the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement with independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.
In approving the Funds’ Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered various factors, among them: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds, including the personnel providing such services; (2) the Advisor’s compensation and profitability; (3) a comparison of fees and performance with other advisers; (4) economies of scale; and (5) the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board’s analysis of these factors is set forth below. The Independent Trustees were advised by independent legal counsel throughout the process.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Advisor Services. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Advisor, including the professional experience and qualifications of senior personnel. In evaluating the quality of services provided by the Advisor, the Board took into account its familiarity with the Advisor’s senior management through Board meetings, discussions and reports during the preceding year. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s compliance policies and procedures. The quality of administrative and other services, including the Advisor’s role in coordinating the activities of the Funds’ other service providers, was also considered. The Board also considered the Advisor’s relationship with its affiliates and the resources available to them, as well as any potential conflicts of interest.
The Board discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of each Sub-Advisor, including the Sub-Advisor that was an affiliate of the Advisor, and the Advisor’s timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board considered the Advisor’s process for monitoring each of the Sub-Advisors, which includes an examination of both qualitative and quantitative elements of the Sub-Advisor’s organization, personnel, procedures, investment discipline, infrastructure and performance.The Board considered that the Advisor conducts regular on-site compliance visits with each Sub-Advisor, during which the Advisor examines a wide variety of factors, such as the financial condition of the Sub-Advisor, the quality of the Sub-Advisor’s systems, the effectiveness of the Sub-Advisor’s disaster recovery programs, trade allocation and execution procedures, compliance with the Sub-Advisor’s policies and procedures, results of regulatory examinations and any other factors that might affect the quality of services that the Sub-Advisor provides to the applicable Fund(s). The Board noted that the Advisor’s compliance monitoring processes also include quarterly reviews of compliance reports, and that any issues arising from such reports and the Advisor’s compliance visits to the Sub-Advisors are reported to the Board.
The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Fund by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Advisor’s Compensation and Profitability. The Board took into consideration the financial condition and profitability of the Advisor and its affiliates (including the Sub-Advisor to one of the Funds) and the direct and indirect benefits derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from the Advisor’s relationship with the Funds. The information considered by the Board included operating profit margin information for the Advisor’s business as a whole. The Board noted that the Advisor waived a portion of advisory fees and administrative fees and/or reimbursed expenses in order to limit each Fund’s net operating expenses. The Board also noted that the Advisor pays the Sub-Advisors’ sub-advisory fees out of the advisory fees the Advisor receives from the Funds. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Funds both before and after tax expenses, and also considered whether the Advisor has the financial wherewithal to continue to provide services to the Funds, noting the ongoing commitment of the Advisor’s parent company with respect to providing support and resources as needed.The Board considered that the Funds’ distributor, an affiliate of the Advisor, receives Rule 12b-1 distribution fees from the Funds and receives a portion of the sales charges on sales or redemptions of certain classes of shares.

The Board recognized that the Advisor should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to each Fund and the entrepreneurial risk that it assumes as Advisor. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability, if any, from their relationship with each Fund was reasonable and not excessive.
Expenses and Performance. The Board compared the respective advisory fees and total expense ratios for each of the Funds with various comparative data, including the median and average advisory fees and total expense ratios of each Fund’s respective peer group. The Board also considered, among other data, the Funds’ respective performance results during the six-month, twelve-month and thirty-six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, as applicable, and noted that the Board reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about each Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board also took into account current market conditions and their effect on the Funds’ performance.
The Board also considered the effect of each Fund’s growth and size on its performance and expenses. The Board noted that the Advisor had waived portions of the fees and/or reimbursed expenses of the Funds in order to reduce the Funds’ respective operating expenses to targeted levels. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees under the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund were paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fees it receives from the Fund and considered the impact of such sub-advisory fees on the profitability of the Advisor. In reviewing the respective expense ratios and performance of each of the Funds, the Board also took into account the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Advisor and its affiliates.
The Board also discussed with management certain factors as set forth in the conditions to the Funds’ exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to investments by the non-money market Funds in the Touchstone Institutional Money Market Fund. The Board considered the nature and extent of the services provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor to each Fund, as well as a discussion by management regarding the amount of the Advisory fees paid by the Funds and Sub-Advisory fees paid by the Advisor in light of the level of Fund assets invested in the Touchstone Institutional Money Market Fund. Based on these factors, the Board concluded that the advisory fee and the sub-advisory fee associated with the management of each non-money market Fund were based on services that were in addition to, rather than duplicative of, services provided under the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements with respect to the Touchstone Institutional Money Market Fund.
The Board considered, among other data, the specific factors and related conclusions set forth below with respect to each Fund:

relevant indices, and also found that the advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services received by the Fund and the other factors considered.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered the effect of each Fund’s current size and potential growth on its performance and expenses. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Funds’ advisory fee structure.The Board considered the effective advisory fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement as a percentage of assets at different asset levels and possible economies of scale that might be realized if the assets of each Fund increase. The Board noted that the advisory fee schedules for some of the Funds contain breakpoints that would reduce the respective advisory fee rate on assets above specified levels as the respective Fund’s assets increased and considered the necessity of adding breakpoints with respect to the Funds that did not currently have such breakpoints in their advisory fee schedules. The Board determined that adding breakpoints at specified levels to the advisory fee schedule of each Fund that currently did not have such breakpoints was not appropriate at that time. The Board also noted that if a Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board also considered the fact that, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the advisory fee payable to the Advisor by a Fund was reduced by the total sub-advisory fee paid by the Advisor to the Fund’s Sub-Advisor.
Conclusion. In considering the renewal of the Funds’ Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. TheTrustees evaluated all information available to them on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and their determinations were made separately with respect to each Fund. The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Funds’ Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor, among others: (a) the Advisor demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor maintains an appropriate compliance program; (c) the overall performance of each Fund is satisfactory in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and relevant indices or, as discussed above, has been or is being addressed; and (d) each Fund’s advisory fee is reasonable in light of the services received by the Fund from the Advisor and other factors considered. Based on their conclusions, the Trustees determined with respect to each Fund that continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
In approving the Funds’ respective Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board considered various factors with respect to each Fund and the applicable Sub-Advisory Agreement, among them: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund, including the personnel providing such services; (2) the Sub-Advisor’s compensation; (3) a comparison of the sub-advisory fee and performance with other advisers; and (4) the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board’s analysis of these factors is set forth below. The Independent Trustees were advised by independent legal counsel throughout the process.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered information provided by the Advisor regarding the services provided by each Sub-Advisor, including information presented periodically throughout the previous year. The Board noted the affiliation of one of the Sub-Advisors with the Advisor, noting any potential conflicts of interest. The Board also noted that, on a periodic basis, the Board meets with portfolio managers of the Sub-Advisors to discuss their respective performance and investment processes and strategies. The Board considered each Sub-Advisor’s level of knowledge and investment style. The Board reviewed the experience and credentials of the applicable investment personnel who are responsible for managing the investment of portfolio securities with respect to the Funds. The Board also noted each Sub-Advisor’s brokerage practices.
Sub-Advisor’s Compensation, Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board also took into consideration the financial condition of each Sub-Advisor and any indirect benefits derived by each Sub-Advisor and its affiliates from the Sub-Advisor’s relationship with the Funds. In considering the profitability to each Sub-Advisor of its relationship with the Funds, the Board noted the undertakings of the Advisor to maintain expense limitations

Other Items (Unaudited) (Continued)
for the Funds and also noted that the sub-advisory fees under the Sub-Advisory Agreements were paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fees that it receives under the Investment Advisory Agreement and in addition, with respect to the unaffiliated Sub-Advisors, are negotiated at arm’s length. As a consequence, the profitability to each Sub-Advisor of its relationship with a Fund was not a substantial factor in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in each Sub-Advisor’s management of the applicable Fund to be a substantial factor in its consideration, although the Board noted that the sub-advisory fee schedule for some of the Funds contained breakpoints that would reduce the sub-advisory fee rate on assets above specified levels as the applicable Fund’s assets increased.
Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Performance. The Board considered that each Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor and that the Advisor pays the sub-advisory fee to the Sub-Advisor out of the advisory fee it receives from the respective Fund. The Board also compared the sub-advisory fees paid by the Advisor to fees charged by the Sub-Advisor to manage comparable institutional separate accounts. The Board considered the amount retained by the Advisor and the sub-advisory fee paid to each Sub-Advisor with respect to the various services provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor. The Board also noted that the Advisor negotiated the sub-advisory fee with each of the unaffiliated Sub-Advisors at arm’s length. The Board reviewed the sub-advisory fee for each Fund in relation to various comparative data, including the median and average sub-advisory fees of each Fund’s peer group, and considered the following information:
Touchstone Emerging Markets Equity Fund. The Fund’s sub-advisory fee was below the median of its peer group.

Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services received by the Fund from the Sub-Advisor and the other factors considered.
Touchstone Merger Arbitrage Fund. The Trustees considered the sub-advisory fee in view of the sub-advisory fees paid with respect to other Touchstone Funds.

Touchstone Mid Cap Fund. The Fund’s sub-advisory fee was at the median of its peer group. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services received by the Fund from the Sub-Advisor and the other factors considered.

Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services received by the Fund from the Sub-Advisor and the other factors considered.
Touchstone Sands Capital Select Growth Fund. The Fund’s sub-advisory fee was above the median of its peer group.

As noted above, the Board considered each Fund’s performance during the six-month, twelve-month and thirty-six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, as applicable, as compared to each Fund’s peer group and noted that the Board reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about each Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of each Sub-Advisor. The Board was mindful of the Advisor’s focus on each Sub-Advisor’s performance and the Advisor’s ways of addressing underperformance.
Conclusion. In considering the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board reached the following conclusions regarding each Sub-Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Sub-Advisor is qualified to manage each Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies; (b) the Sub-Advisor maintains an appropriate compliance program; (c) the performance of each Fund is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and relevant indices or, as discussed above, is being addressed; (d) each Fund’s advisory fees are reasonable relative to those of similar funds and the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor; and (e) the Sub-Advisor’s investment strategies are appropriate for pursuing the investment objectives of each Fund. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
At a meeting held on August 21-22, 2013, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”) of the Touchstone Funds Group Trust (the “Trust”), and by a separate vote, the Independent Trustees of the Trust, approved an amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Advisor adding the Touchstone Arbitrage Fund (the “Fund”) and also initially approved the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund between the Advisor and Longfellow Investment Management Co. (the “Sub-Advisor”).
In determining whether to approve the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Advisor furnished information necessary for a majority of the Independent Trustees to make the determination that approval of the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Board also took into account information provided to the Board in its meetings throughout the year with respect to the services provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor to another Touchstone Fund managed by the Sub-Advisor on which the Fund would be modeled (the “Model Touchstone Fund”). In addition, the Board took into consideration certain information and materials that the Board had received and considered in connection with its approval of the renewal in November 2012 of the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements with respect to the Model Touchstone Fund. Those approvals, on which the Board voted at its meeting held in person on November 15, 2012, followed a lengthy process during which the Board considered a variety of factors. The information considered by the Board included: (1) a comparison of the Fund’s proposed advisory fee and other fees and anticipated total expense ratio with those of comparable funds; (2) performance information for the Model Touchstone Fund

managed by the Sub-Advisor; (3) the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ estimated revenues and costs of providing services to the Fund; and (4) information about the Advisor’s and Sub-Advisor’s personnel.
Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement with management and with experienced independent legal counsel and received materials from such counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval of the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed approval of the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement in a private session with independent legal counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In approving the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered various factors, among them: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Fund, including the personnel who would be providing such services; (2) the Advisor’s anticipated compensation and profitability; (3) the level of the Fund’s proposed advisory fees and expenses; (4) anticipated economies of scale; and (5) the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board’s analysis of these factors is set forth below. The Independent Trustees were advised by independent legal counsel throughout the process.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Advisor’s Services. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Advisor, including the professional experience and qualifications of senior personnel. In evaluating the quality of services to be provided by the Advisor, the Board took into account its familiarity with the Advisor’s senior management through Board meetings, discussions and reports during the preceding year. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s compliance policies and procedures. The quality of administrative and other services of comparable funds managed by the Advisor, including the Advisor’s role in coordinating the activities of those funds’ other service providers, was also considered. The Board also considered the Advisor’s relationship with its affiliates and the resources available to them, as well as any potential conflicts of interest.
The Board discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of sub-advisors, including the Sub-Advisor, and the Advisor’s timeliness in responding to any performance issues. The Board considered the Advisor’s process for monitoring the Sub-Advisor, which includes and examination of both qualitative and quantitative elements of the Sub-Advisor’s organization, personnel, procedures, investment discipline, infrastructure and performance. The Board considered that the Advisor conducts regular on-site compliance visits with the Sub-Advisor, during which the Advisor examines a wide variety of factors, such as the financial condition of the Sub-Advisor, the quality of the Sub-Advisor’s systems, the effectiveness of the Sub-Advisor’s disaster recovery programs, trade allocation and execution procedures, compliance with the Sub-Advisor’s policies and procedures, results of regulatory examinations and any other factors that might affect the quality of services to be provided by the Sub-Advisor to the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor’s compliance monitoring processes also include quarterly reviews of compliance reports, and that any issues arising from such reports and the Advisor’s compliance visits to the Sub-Advisor are reported to the Board.
The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Advisor’s Compensation and Profitability. The Board took into consideration the financial condition and anticipated level of profitability of the Advisor and its affiliates and the direct and indirect benefits to be derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from the Advisor’s relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in order to limit the Fund’s total operating expenses for a period following the date on which the Fund commenced operations. The Board also noted that the Advisor would pay the Sub-Advisor’s sub-advisory fee out of the advisory fee the Advisor would receive from the Fund. The Board reviewed the anticipated level of profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Fund and whether the Advisor has the financial wherewithal to provide services to the Fund, noting the ongoing
144 |
Other Items (Unaudited) (Continued)
commitment of the Advisor’s parent company with respect to providing support and resources as needed. The Board also considered that the Fund’s prospective distributor, an affiliate of the Advisor, would receive Rule 12b-1 distribution fees from the Fund and would receive a portion of the sales charges on sales or redemptions of certain classes of shares. The Board also noted that the Advisor would derive benefits to its reputation and other benefits from its association with the Fund.
The Board recognized that the Advisor should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it would provide to the Fund and the entrepreneurial risk that it would assume as Advisor. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ anticipated level of profitability, if any, from their relationship with the Fund was reasonable and not excessive.
Expenses and Performance. The Board compared the Fund’s proposed advisory fee and total expense ratio net of applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements with those of comparable funds. The Board noted that the advisory fee proposed for the Fund was below the Fund’s expense group median and the Fund’s total expenses, net of fee waivers and/or reimbursements, was below the Fund’s expense group median. The Board took into consideration the performance of the Model Touchstone Fund. The Board noted that the portfolio management team that currently manages the Model Touchstone Fund is expected to manage the Fund as well. The Board also noted that the Board reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Model Touchstone Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into consideration certain differences between how the Model Touchstone Fund is managed and how the Fund will be managed as well as the impact these differences are expected to have on the Fund’s performance.
The Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fees and/or reimburse certain Fund expenses in order to limit the Fund’s operating expenses to targeted levels. The Board further noted that the sub-advisory fees under the Sub-Advisory Agreement would be paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee it receives from the Fund and noted the impact of such sub-advisory fee on the profitability of the Advisor. In reviewing the proposed expense ratios and the performance of the Model Touchstone Fund, the Board also took into account the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the proposed advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services to be received by the Fund from the Advisor.
Economies of Scale.The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s potential growth and size on its performance and expenses. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the proposed advisory fee structure. The Board noted that the proposed advisory fee schedule contains breakpoints that would reduce the applicable advisory fee rate on assets above specified levels as the Fund’s assets increased. The Board also noted that if the Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund might realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than certain other expenses.
Conclusion. In considering the approval of the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. TheTrustees evaluated all information available to them. The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor maintains an appropriate compliance program; (c) the Fund’s proposed advisory fee is reasonable in relation to the fees of similar funds and the services to be provided by the Advisor. Based on their conclusions, the Trustees determined that approval of the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
In initially approving the Fund’s Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered various factors, among them: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Fund, including the personnel who would

be providing such services; (2) the Sub-Advisor’s proposed compensation; (3) the Sub-Advisor’s past performance with respect to its management of the Model Touchstone Fund; and (4) the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board’s analysis of these factors is set forth below. The Independent Trustees were advised by independent legal counsel throughout the process.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided; Investment Personnel. The Board considered information provided by the Advisor regarding the services to be provided by the Sub-Advisor. The Board noted that, on a periodic basis, the Board meets with the portfolio managers of the Sub-Advisor to discuss their performance and investment processes and strategies with respect to the Model Touchstone Fund. The Board considered the Sub-Advisor’s level of knowledge and investment style. The Board reviewed the experience and credentials of the investment personnel who would be responsible for managing the investment of portfolio securities with respect to the Fund. The Board also noted its familiarity with the Sub-Advisor, owing to the Sub-Advisor’s management of the Model Touchstone Fund. The Board also considered the Sub-Advisor’s regulatory and compliance history. The Board noted that the Advisor’s compliance monitoring includes quarterly reviews of compliance reports and annual compliance reviews of the Sub-Advisor and that compliance issues, if any, are reported to the Board. The Board also noted the Sub-Advisor’s brokerage practices.
Sub-Advisor’s Compensation, Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board took into consideration the financial condition of the Sub-Advisor and any direct and indirect benefits to be derived by the Sub-Advisor and its affiliates from the Sub-Advisor’s relationship with the Fund. In considering the anticipated level of profitability to the Sub-Advisor and its affiliates of the Sub-Advisor’s relationship with the Fund, the Board noted the proposed contractual undertaking of the Advisor to maintain expense limitations for the Fund and also noted that the sub-advisory fee under the Sub-Advisory Agreement would be paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that it would receive from the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement, and that the sub-advisory fee is negotiated at arm’s length. As a consequence, the anticipated level of profitability to the Sub-Advisor of its relationship with the Fund was not a substantial factor in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider potential economies of scale in the Sub-Advisor’s management of the Fund to be a substantial factor in its consideration, although the Board noted that the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule contains breakpoints that would reduce the applicable sub-advisory fee rate on Fund assets above specified levels as the Fund’s assets increased.
Sub-Advisory Fee and Fund Performance. The Board considered that the Fund would pay an advisory fee to the Advisor and that the Advisor would pay a sub-advisory fee to the Sub-Advisor out of the advisory fees it receives from the Fund. The Board also compared the Sub-Advisor’s proposed sub-advisory fee to the sub-advisory fees paid to sub-advisors for managing comparable funds, noting that the proposed sub-advisory fee was at the Fund’s expense group median. The Board considered the amount of the advisory fee to be retained by the Advisor and the amount to be paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to the various services to be provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor.
The Board considered the Sub-Advisor’s long-term performance record in managing the Model Touchstone Fund, certain differences between how the Sub-Advisor manages the Model Touchstone Fund and how it will manage the Fund, as well as the impact these differences are expected to have on the Fund’s performance. The Board also took into account that the portfolio management team that currently manages the ModelTouchstone Fund is expected to manage the Fund as well. The Board also noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of the Sub-Advisor with respect to the ModelTouchstone Fund. The Board was mindful of the Advisor’s focus on the performance of sub-advisors, including the Sub-Advisor, and the Advisor’s ways of addressing underperformance. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services to be received by the Fund from the Sub-Advisor.

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