The Fund generally invests in non-investment-grade debt securities of domestic corporations. Non-investment-grade debt securities are higher risk, lower quality securities, often referred to as “junk bonds”, and are considered speculative. They are rated below BBB- by S&P and Fitch or below Baa3 by Moody’s.

(“Fort Washington”), analyzes the overall investment opportunities and risks in different industry sectors focusing on those industries that exhibit stability and predictability. Having developed certain industry biases resulting from the current macroeconomic environment, Fort Washington implements a process of elimination through which certain types of securities are removed from the list of initially selected securities due to their structure. The next step is to apply a rigorous credit selection process in order to identify securities that offer attractive investment opportunities. Once a security has been purchased, the credit analysis process is re-applied to each individual security in the Fund’s portfolio on a periodic basis or as new information becomes available to determine whether or not to keep a security in the Fund’s portfolio.</font></p> <p style="color: #000000;

There is a high risk that the Fund could suffer a loss from investments in non-investment-grade debt securities caused by the default of an issuer of such securities. Part of the reason for this high risk is that, in the event of a default or bankruptcy, holders of non-investment-grade debt securities generally will not receive payments until the holders of all other debt have been paid. In addition, the market for non-investment-grade debt securities has, in the past, had more frequent and larger price changes than the markets for other securities.

Mortgage-backed securities are sensitive to changes in interest rates, but may respond to these changes differently from other fixed income securities due to the possibility of prepayment of the underlying mortgage loans.  As a result, it may not be possible to determine in advance the actual maturity date or average life of a mortgage-backed security.  Rising interest rates tend to discourage refinancings, with the result that the average life and volatility of the security will increase, exacerbating its decrease in market price.  When interest rates fall, however, mortgage-backed securities may not gain as much in market value because of the expectation of additional mortgage prepayments that must be reinvested at lower interest rates.  Prepayment risk may make it difficult to calculate the average duration of the Fund’s mortgage-backed securities which in turn would make it difficult to assess the interest rate risk of the Fund.  An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage pool may adversely affect the value of mortgage-backed securities and could result in losses to the Fund.  The risk of such defaults is generally higher in the cases of mortgage pools that include subprime mortgages.  Subprime mortgages refer to loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or with lower capacity to make timely payments on their mortgages.  Collateralized mortgage obligations are more volatile and may be more sensitive to the rate of prepayments than other mortgage-related securities.</font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><font style="font-size: 10pt;; font-family:times new roman" size="2"> </font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><b><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;; font-family:times new roman" size="2">Asset-Backed Securities Risk:</font></b><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">  Asset-backed securities are fixed income securities backed by other assets such as credit card, automobile or consumer loan receivables, retail installment loans, or participations in pools of leases.  Credit support for these securities may be based on the underlying assets and/or provided through credit enhancements by a third party. Even with a credit enhancement by a third party, there is still risk of loss.  There could be inadequate collateral or no collateral for asset-backed securities.  The values of these securities are sensitive to changes in the credit quality of the underlying collateral, the credit strength of the credit enhancement, changes in interest rates and, at times, the financial condition of the issuer.  Some asset-backed securities also may receive prepayments that can change the securities’ effective durations.</font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><font style="font-size: 10pt;; font-family:times new roman" size="2"> </font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><b><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;; font-family:times new roman" size="2">Non-Investment-Grade Debt Securities Risk:</font></b><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">  Non-investment-grade debt securities are sometimes referred to as “junk bonds” and are considered speculative with respect to their issuers’ ability to make payments of interest and principal.  There is a high risk that the Fund could suffer a loss from investments in non-investment-grade debt securities caused by the default of an issuer of such securities.  Part of the reason for this high risk is that, in the event of a default or bankruptcy, holders of non-investment-grade debt securities generally will not receive payments until the holders of all other debt have been paid.  In addition, the market for non-investment-grade debt securities has historically had more frequent and larger price changes than the markets for other securities.  Non-investment-grade debt securities can also be more difficult to sell for good value.</font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><font style="font-size: 10pt;; font-family:times new roman" size="2"> </font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><b><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;; font-family:times new roman" size="2">Management Risk: </font></b><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">Touchstone Advisors, Inc., the Fund’s advisor (the “Advisor”), engages one or more sub-advisors to make investment decisions on its behalf for a portion or all of the Fund.  There is a risk that the Advisor may be unable to identify and retain sub-advisors who achieve superior investment returns relative to other similar sub-advisors.  The value of your investment may decrease if the sub-advisor’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular security, issuer, industry or sector or about market movements is incorrect.</font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><font style="font-size: 10pt;; font-family:times new roman" size="2"> </font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><b><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;; font-family:times new roman" size="2">Portfolio Turnover Risk:</font></b><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">  Frequent and active trading may result in greater expenses to the Fund and may generate more taxable short-term gains for shareholders, which may lower the Fund’s performance.</font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><font style="font-size: 10pt;; font-family:times new roman" size="2"> </font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><b><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;; font-family:times new roman" size="2">U.S. Government Agencies Securities Risk:</font></b><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">  Certain U.S. government agency securities are backed by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury while others are supported only by the credit of the issuer or instrumentality.
