TDECX Investment Objective and Strategy
Touchstone Dynamic Equity Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Touchstone Strategic Trust.
Investment objective
The Touchstone Dynamic Equity Fund (the Fund) seeks to obtain long-term capital appreciation from hedged equity investments with less risk than a fully invested, unhedged equity portfolio.
Principal investment strategy
The Funds sub-advisor, Analytic Investors, LLC (Analytic or Sub-Advisor), seeks to achieve the Funds investment goal by investing the Funds assets in a combination of equity securities, high quality short-term debt securities, and derivative instruments. Equity Strategy: The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities. This is a non-fundamental investment policy that can be changed by the Fund upon 60 days prior notice to shareholders. The Fund invests primarily in long and short positions in U.S. large-cap stocks included in the Russell 1000 Index (the Index), although the Fund may invest in small- and mid-cap equity securities. The Fund buys securities long that Analytic believes will outperform the Index and sells securities short that Analytic believes will underperform the Index.
The Fund intends to take long and short equity positions that may vary over time based on Analytics assessment of market conditions and other factors. The Funds long equity exposure is ordinarily expected to range from 80% to 130% and its short equity exposure from 0% to 70% of the Funds net assets, excluding cash. The Fund may take short positions at the higher end of this range when it has reduced its written call options positions under the options strategy (as described below) and may during these periods hold a substantial portion of the Funds total assets in high quality short-term debt securities, cash, or cash equivalents. Analytic selects common stocks and other equity securities for the Fund using a proprietary system that ranks securities according to a quantitative model. The model attempts to determine a securitys intrinsic value by evaluating variables such as relative valuation, price momentum, company fundamentals, liquidity, and risk.
Options Strategy: Analytic seeks to reduce the overall portfolio risk through the use of options. The Funds options strategy primarily focuses on the use of writing (selling) call options on equity indexes or exchange-traded index funds (ETFs). The Fund may sell call options on broad-based domestic equity indexes or ETFs, such as the S&P 100 Index, as well as on narrower market indexes or ETFs or on indexes or ETFs of companies in a particular industry or sector. The Fund seeks to write options on broad and narrow-based indexes and ETFs that correlate with the price movements of the Funds equity securities. The Fund may also buy index put options to help protect it from potential market declines. The value of these options tends to move inversely to the underlying index. The Fund may also write (sell) covered call options on individual equity securities.
The Fund may also purchase put options on individual equity securities which it owns. The Fund may engage in frequent and active trading of securities as part of its principal investment strategy. Analytic generally considers selling a security when it reaches its fair value estimate, when the companys fundamentals do not appear to justify the current price, when there has been or there is an expectation of an adverse change in the companys fundamentals, when the risks of the security unexpectedly rise, or when other investment opportunities appear more attractive.
