TGGAX Investment Objective and Strategy
Touchstone Strategic Trust-Touchstone International Growth Opportunities Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Touchstone Strategic Trust.
Investment objective
The Touchstone International Growth Opportunities Fund (the Fund) (formerly, Touchstone Global Growth Fund) seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
"Under normal circumstances, the Fund will primarily invest its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of foreign issuers. Equity securities include, but are not limited to, common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, rights and warrants. Under normal market conditions, the Fund primarily invests its assets directly in the securities of foreign issuers, and may also invest through, but not limited to, American Depository Receipts (""ADRs"") and other depositary receipts. The Fund generally will contain 25 to 50 equity securities. In determining whether an issuer is foreign, DSM Capital Partners LLC (""DSM""), the Fund's sub-advisor, will consider various factors including where the issuer is headquartered, where the issuers principal operations are located, where the issuers revenues are derived, where the principal trading market is located and the country in which the issuer is legally organized.
The weight given to each of these factors will vary depending upon the circumstances and as determined by the DSM. The Fund intends to invest in securities of issuers from at least three different countries outside of the United States, including issuers in emerging market countries. The Fund is a non-diversified fund and may, from time to time, have significant exposure to one or more issuers, geographic regions or sectors of the global economy. The Fund may invest greater than 25% of its assets in one or more of the following sectors: consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, health care, industrials, materials, technology and telecommunications services. From time to time, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its assets in issuers connected to China, and in issuers in other emerging market countries, which involves certain additional risks and special considerations not typically associated with investment in more developed economies or markets.
Emerging market countries are generally countries that are included in the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Emerging Markets Index. As of September 30, 2018, the countries in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index included: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Russia, Qatar, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and United Arab Emirates. The country composition of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index can change over time. DSM manages the Fund using a bottom-up, idea-driven, growth-style with a long-term ( i.e. , three-year) investment horizon. This means in general terms that DSM seeks to identify issuers which it believes exhibit certain quality characteristics. For instance, DSM selects issuers that it believes have growing businesses with solid fundamentals, attractive profitability, and successful managements.
DSM holds securities with long-term investment horizons and does not engage in short-term frequent trading. DSM generally sells an equity security when its projected future return becomes unattractive relative to the rest of the portfolio or the investable universe."
