DRZ then conducts rigorous fundamental analysis to identify an imminent catalyst which it believes may lead to future price appreciation. DRZ establishes relative price targets for the remaining stocks that have identifiable catalysts. Finally, DRZ filters the results to choose stocks that it believes have the potential for growth and appear to be trading below their perceived value.

In such a case, the common stock of the target company may be purchased and, at approximately the same time, some amount of the acquiring company&#8217;s common stock and/or other securities may be sold short depending on the terms of the transaction.

In the first step of the investment process, EARNEST screens the relevant universe to identify stocks that it believes are likely to outperform based on their financial characteristics and the current environment. This process seeks to identify the financial and market characteristics, including valuation measures, market trends, operating trends, growth measures, and profitability measures that have been in place when an individual company has produced outstanding performance. In the second step of the investment process, an investment thesis is developed and tested for certain companies identified in the first step. The test generally includes conversations with the company&#8217;s management team and industry specialists, review of the company&#8217;s financial reports, analysis of industry and company-specific studies, and independent field research. In the final step of the investment process, EARNEST constructs a portfolio of approximately 50 stocks that EARNEST believes are expected to collectively have the best potential for capital appreciation and are expected to mitigate downside risk.

The Gap Framework analysis incorporates such factors as quality, duration, structure, and the relationship between price and yield.&#160; The second step involves in-depth, fundamental security analysis which focuses on credit risk, cash flow risk, credit spread volatility, the historical yield relationship between a security and the corresponding benchmark, and current market technical forces (<i>i.e</i>. supply and demand factors).&#160; The third and final step of the investment process integrates EARNEST&#8217;s risk management techniques and fundamental analysis to construct a portfolio that strives to maximize yield while minimizing the risks inherent in fixed income investing.&#160;

The Fund may, at times, hold fewer securities and a higher percentage of cash and equivalents when, among other reasons, Fort Washington cannot find a sufficient number of securities that meets its purchase requirements. The Fund may invest up to 35% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers through the use of ordinary shares or depositary receipts such as American Depositary Receipts (&#8220;ADRs&#8221;). The Fund may also invest in securities of emerging market countries.

The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of securities of different maturities including U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, securities of U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, municipal bonds and cash equivalent securities including repurchase agreements and commercial paper.&#160; The Fund invests only in investment-grade debt securities and does not invest in non-investment-grade (<i>i.e</i>. &#8220;high yield&#8221;) debt securities.&#160; Investment-grade debt securities are those having a rating of BBB-/Baa3 or higher from a major rating agency or, if a rating is not available, deemed to be of comparable quality by the sub-advisor, Fort Washington Investment Advisors,&#160;Inc.

In addition, Fort Washington considers the &#8220;effective duration&#8221; of the Fund&#8217;s entire portfolio.&#160; Effective duration is a measure of a security&#8217;s price volatility or the risk associated with changes in interest rates.&#160; While the Fund may invest in securities with any maturity or duration, Fort Washington seeks to maintain an effective duration for the Fund of one year or less under normal market conditions.</font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b><font style="font-size: 10pt;

The risks of depositary receipts include many risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, such as individual country risk and liquidity risk.

Duration is a measure of the expected life of a debt security that is used to determine the sensitivity of the security&#8217;s price to changes in interest rates.

The value of the shares of closed-end investment companies may be lower than the value of the portfolio securities held by the closed-end investment company.

If interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stocks may be less attractive, causing the price of preferred stocks to decline.

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.&#160; Maturity, on the other hand, is the date on which a fixed income security becomes due for payment of principal.</font></font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font style="font-size: 10pt;

Investment-grade debt securities rated in the lowest rating category by an NRSRO involve a higher degree of risk than fixed-income securities in the higher-rating categories.&#160; While such securities are considered investment-grade quality and are deemed to have adequate capacity for payment of principal and interest, such securities lack outstanding investment characteristics and have speculative characteristics as well.&#160;

the relative size of its debt service burden to the economy as a whole; its balance of payments (including export performance) and cash flow situation; its access to international credits and investments; fluctuations in interest and currency rates and reserves; and its government&#8217;s policies towards the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and other international agencies.&#160; If a foreign sovereign defaults on all or a portion of its foreign debt, the Fund may have limited legal recourse against the issuer and/or guarantor.&#160;

Part&#160;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.&#160; 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.&#160; Non-investment-grade debt securities can also be more difficult to sell for good value. </font></font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font style="font-size: 10pt;

Duration is a measure of the expected life taking into account any prepayment or call features of the security, of a fixed income 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. Maturity, on the other hand, is the date on which a fixed income security becomes due for payment of principal. </font></font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font style="font-family:times new roman,times"><b><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; ; font-family: times new roman;"><br />Management Risk:</font></b><font style="font-size: 10pt;"> Touchstone Advisors, Inc., the Fund&#8217;s advisor (the &#8220;Advisor&#8221;), 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&#8217;s judgment about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular security, issuer, industry or sector or about market movements is incorrect. </font></font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font style="font-family:times new roman,times"><b><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; ; font-family: times new roman;"><br />Investment-Grade Debt Securities Risk:</font></b><font style="font-size: 10pt;"> Investment-grade debt securities may be downgraded by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (&#8220;NRSRO&#8221;) to below investment-grade status, which would increase the risk of holding these securities. Investment-grade debt securities rated in the lowest rating category by a NRSRO involve a higher degree of risk than fixed-income securities in the higher-rating categories. While such securities are considered investment-grade quality and are deemed to have adequate capacity for payment of principal and interest, such securities lack outstanding investment characteristics and have speculative characteristics as well. For example, changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to make principal and interest payments than is the case with higher-grade securities. </font></font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font style="font-family:times new roman,times"><b><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; ; font-family: times new roman;"><br />Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk:</font></b><font style="font-size: 10pt;"> Mortgage-backed securities are fixed-income securities representing an interest in a pool of underlying mortgage loans. 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 </font><font style="font-size: 10pt; ; font-family: times new roman;">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 refinancing, 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 maturity of the Fund&#8217;s mortgage-backed securities and, therefore, to assess the volatility 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. </font></font></p> <div style="font-family: times new roman;"> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font style="font-family:times new roman,times"><b><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; ; font-family: times new roman;"><br />Asset-Backed Securities Risk:</font></b><font style="font-size: 10pt;"> 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.</font><font style="font-size: 10pt;"> Credit support for asset-backed 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&#8217; effective maturities. </font></font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font style="font-family:times new roman,times"><b><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; ; font-family: times new roman;"><br />U.S. Government Agencies Securities Risk:</font></b><font style="font-size: 10pt;"> 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.

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, of a fixed income 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. Maturity, on the other hand, is the date on which a fixed income security becomes due for payment of principal.</font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="2"></font>&#160;</p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;; font-family:times new roman" size="2">Investment-Grade Debt Securities Risk:</font></b><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2"> Investment-grade debt securities may be downgraded by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (&#8220;NRSRO&#8221;) to below investment-grade status, which would increase the risk of holding these securities or a rating may become stale in that it fails to reflect changes to an issuer&#8217;s financial condition. Investment-grade debt securities rated in the lowest rating category by an NRSRO involve a higher degree of risk than fixed-income securities in the higher-rating categories. While such securities are considered investment-grade quality and are deemed to have adequate capacity for payment of principal and interest, such securities lack outstanding investment characteristics and have speculative characteristics as well. For example, changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to make principal and interest payments than is the case with higher-grade securities. </font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font style="font-size: 10pt;; font-family:times new roman" size="2"> <br /></font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;; font-family:times new roman" size="2">Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk:</font></b><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2"> Mortgage-backed securities are fixed-income securities representing an interest in a pool of underlying mortgage loans. 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 refinancing, 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&#8217;s mortgage-backed securities and, therefore, to fully 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. </font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font style="font-size: 10pt;; font-family:times new roman" size="2"> <br /></font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><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&#8217; effective durations. </font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font style="font-size: 10pt;; font-family:times new roman" size="2"> <br /></font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><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 &#8220;junk bonds&#8221; and are considered speculative with respect to their issuers&#8217; 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, in the past, 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 align="center" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"><font style="font-size: 10pt;; font-family:times new roman" size="2"> </font></p> <p align="center" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"><font style="font-size: 10pt;; font-family:times new roman" size="2"></font>&#160;</p> </div> <div style="font-family: times new roman;"> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><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&#8217;s advisor (the &#8220;Advisor&#8221;), engages one or more sub-advisors to make investment decisions on its behalf for a portion or all of the Fund.

Duration is a measure of the expected life, taking into account any prepayment or call features of the security, of a fixed income 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% </font></font><font style="font-size: 10pt;; font-family:times new roman,times" size="2">change in interest rates, and generally is stated in years. Maturity, on the other hand, is the date on which a fixed income security becomes due for payment of principal. </font></p> <div style="font-family: times new roman;"> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="2" style="font-family:times new roman,times"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;"><br />Investment-Grade Debt Securities Risk:</font><font style="font-size: 10pt;"> Investment-grade debt securities may be downgraded by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (&#8220;NRSRO&#8221;) to below investment-grade status, which would increase the risk of holding these securities. Investment-grade debt securities rated in the lowest rating category by an NRSRO involve a higher degree of risk than fixed-income securities in the higher-rating categories. While such securities are considered investment-grade quality and are deemed to have adequate capacity for payment of principal and interest, such securities lack outstanding investment characteristics and have speculative characteristics as well. For example, changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to make principal and interest payments than is the case with higher-grade securities. </font></font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="2" style="font-family:times new roman,times"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;"><br />Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk:</font><font style="font-size: 10pt;"> Mortgage-backed securities are fixed-income securities representing an interest in a pool of underlying mortgage loans. 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 refinancing, 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 maturity of the Fund&#8217;s mortgage-backed securities and, therefore, to assess the volatility 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. </font></font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="2" style="font-family:times new roman,times"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;"><br />Asset Backed Securities Risk:</font><font style="font-size: 10pt;"> 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&#8217; effective durations. </font></font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="2" style="font-family:times new roman,times"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;"><br />Management Risk:</font><font style="font-size: 10pt;"> Touchstone Advisors, Inc., the Fund&#8217;s advisor (the &#8220;Advisor&#8221;), 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&#8217;s judgment about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular security, issuer, industry or sector or about market movements is incorrect. </font></font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="2" style="font-family:times new roman,times"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;"><br />Municipal Securities Risk: </font><font style="font-size: 10pt;">The value of municipal securities may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related to legislation or litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities or the rights of municipal securities holders in the event of bankruptcy. In addition, the ongoing issues facing the national economy may negatively impact the economic performance of issuers of municipal securities, and may increase the likelihood that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may be unable to meet their obligations. Also, some municipal obligations may be backed by a letter of credit issued by a bank or other financial institution. Adverse developments affecting banks or other financial institutions could have a negative effect on the value of the Fund&#8217;s portfolio securities. </font></font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="2" style="font-family:times new roman,times"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;"><br />Portfolio Turnover Risk:</font><font style="font-size: 10pt;"> </font><font style="font-size: 10pt;">Frequent and active trading may result in greater expenses to the Fund, which may lower the Fund&#8217;s performance and may generate more taxable short-term gains or losses for shareholders. </font></font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="2" style="font-family:times new roman,times"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;"><br />Repurchase Agreement Risk:</font><font style="font-size: 10pt;"> Under all repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund, the Fund&#8217;s custodian or its agent must take possession of the underlying collateral. However, if the counterparty defaults, the Fund could realize a loss on the sale of the underlying security to the extent that the proceeds of sale, including accrued interest, are less than </font></font><font style="font-size: 10pt;; font-family:times new roman,times" size="2">the resale price provided in the agreement including interest. In addition, even though the Bankruptcy Code provides protection for most repurchase agreements, if the seller should be involved in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, the Fund may incur delay and costs in selling the underlying security or may suffer a loss of principal and interest if the Fund is treated as an unsecured creditor and is required to return the underlying security to the seller&#8217;s estate. Repurchase agreements are considered loans by the Fund. </font></p> </div> <div style="font-family: times new roman;"> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="2" style="font-family:times new roman,times"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;"><br />U.S. Government Agencies Securities Risk:</font><font style="font-size: 10pt;"> 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. While the U.S. government is able to provide financial support to U.S. government-sponsored agencies or instrumentalities, no assurance can be given that it will always do so. Such securities are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. </font></font></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font style="font-size: 10pt;; font-family:times new roman,times" size="2"><br />This Fund should only be purchased by investors seeking maximum total return consistent with preservation of capital who can withstand a limited amount of share price volatility, and seek exposure to fixed income securities. As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal.
