Investment Strategy, Heading	rr_StrategyHeading	The Fund's Principal Investment Strategies
Investment Strategy, Narrative	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Touchstone Mid Cap Value Fund invests, under normal conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (including borrowings for investment purposes) in common stocks of medium capitalization companies.  This is a non-fundamental policy that the Fund can change upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders.  For purposes of the Fund, a medium capitalization company has a market capitalization within the range of market capitalization represented in the Russell Midcap Index (between $2 billion and $18 billion at the time of its most recent reconstitution on June 24, 2011) at the time of purchase.  The size of the companies in the Russell Midcap Index will change with market conditions.    The sub-advisor, Lee Munder Capital Group, LLC ("LMCG") employs a fundamental investment process which seeks to identify companies which it believes are selling at a discount to their intrinsic value.  In the first step of the investment process, LMCG employs five valuation screens that seek to identify the most attractively priced mid cap securities.  In evaluating and selecting potential investments for the Fund, LMCG completes in-depth research and analysis on the securities that pass the valuation screens in an effort to identify leading companies selling at attractive valuations.  The research and analysis include an examination of financial statements and assessments of the management team, the company's competitive strategy and its current market position. LMCG generally limits the Fund's weight in a sector to 10% over or under the sector's weight in the Russell Midcap Value Index, except for the financial sector, which may be underweighted by up to 15%.  The Fund will hold approximately 60 to 80 securities.  LMCG will generally sell a security when it no longer passes the valuation screens, reaches a price target, or its prospects for appreciation have diminished.
Risk, Heading	rr_RiskHeading	The Principal Risks
Risk, Narrative	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund's share price will fluctuate. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund and the Fund could also return less than other investments. The Fund is subject to the principal risks summarized below. Equity Securities Risk: The Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by these companies may decline in response to such developments, which could result in a decline in the value of the Fund's shares.    Mid Cap Risk: The Fund is subject to the risk that medium capitalization stocks may underperform other types of stocks or the equity markets as a whole. Stocks of mid-sized companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than stocks of larger, more established companies. Mid-sized companies may have limited product lines or financial resources, and may be dependent upon a particular niche of the market.    Market Risk: Market risk is the risk that the market value of a security may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.    Management Risk: 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.    Value Investing Risk: A value-oriented investment approach is subject to the risk that a security believed to be undervalued does not appreciate in value as anticipated or experiences a decline in value.    This Fund should only be purchased by investors seeking capital appreciation who can withstand the share price volatility of mid cap equity investing. As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal. You can find more information about the Fund's investments and risks under the "Investment Strategies and Risks" section of the Fund's Prospectus.

[1] Touchstone Advisors and the Trust have entered into an expense limitation agreement whereby Touchstone Advisors has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fees and/or reimburse certain Fund expenses in order to limit annual fund operating expenses to 1.29%, 2.04%, 1.04% and 0.89% for Class A shares, Class C shares, Class Y shares and Institutional shares, respectively. This expense limitation will remain in effect until at least January 27, 2013 but can be terminated by a vote of the Board of Trustees of the Fund if they deem the termination to be beneficial to the Fund shareholder. The terms of Touchstone Advisors' contractual waiver agreement provide that Touchstone Advisors is entitled to recover, subject to approval by the Fund's Board of Trustees, such amounts waived or reimbursed for a period of up to three (3) years from the year in which Touchstone Advisors reduced its compensation and/or assumed expenses for the Fund. No recoupment will occur unless the Fund's operating expenses are below the expense limitation amount. See the discussion entitled "Contractual Fee Waiver Agreement" under the section entitled "The Funds' Management" in the Fund's Prospectus for more information.

Example.

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with
the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest
$10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then, except as indicated,
redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes
that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating
expenses remain the same (reflecting the one year contractual fee waiver).
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these
assumptions your costs would be:

TOUCHSTONE MID CAP VALUE FUND Class C	207	1,757	3,224	6,553

Portfolio Turnover.

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected
in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's
performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio
turnover rate was 59% of the average value of its portfolio.

The Fund's Principal Investment Strategies

The Touchstone Mid Cap Value Fund invests, under normal conditions, at least 80%
of its net assets (including borrowings for investment purposes) in common
stocks of medium capitalization companies.  This is a non-fundamental policy
that the Fund can change upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders.  For
purposes of the Fund, a medium capitalization company has a market
capitalization within the range of market capitalization represented in the
Russell Midcap Index (between $2 billion and $18 billion at the time of its most
recent reconstitution on June 24, 2011) at the time of purchase.  The size of
the companies in the Russell Midcap Index will change with market conditions.
  
The sub-advisor, Lee Munder Capital Group, LLC ("LMCG") employs a fundamental
investment process which seeks to identify companies which it believes are
selling at a discount to their intrinsic value.  In the first step of the
investment process, LMCG employs five valuation screens that seek to identify
the most attractively priced mid cap securities.  In evaluating and selecting
potential investments for the Fund, LMCG completes in-depth research and
analysis on the securities that pass the valuation screens in an effort to
identify leading companies selling at attractive valuations.  The research and
analysis include an examination of financial statements and assessments of the
management team, the company's competitive strategy and its current market
position. LMCG generally limits the Fund's weight in a sector to 10% over or
under the sector's weight in the Russell Midcap Value Index, except for the
financial sector, which may be underweighted by up to 15%.  The Fund will hold
approximately 60 to 80 securities.  LMCG will generally sell a security when it
no longer passes the valuation screens, reaches a price target, or its prospects
for appreciation have diminished.

The Principal Risks

The Fund's share price will fluctuate. You could lose money on your investment
in the Fund and the Fund could also return less than other investments. The Fund
is subject to the principal risks summarized below.

Equity Securities Risk: The Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will
fall over short or extended periods of time. Individual companies may report
poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and
developments. The prices of securities issued by these companies may decline in
response to such developments, which could result in a decline in the value of
the Fund's shares.
  
Mid Cap Risk: The Fund is subject to the risk that medium capitalization stocks
may underperform other types of stocks or the equity markets as a whole. Stocks
of mid-sized companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements
than stocks of larger, more established companies. Mid-sized companies may have
limited product lines or financial resources, and may be dependent upon a
particular niche of the market.
  
Market Risk: Market risk is the risk that the market value of a security may
fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.
  
Management Risk: 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.
  
Value Investing Risk: A value-oriented investment approach is subject to the
risk that a security believed to be undervalued does not appreciate in value as
anticipated or experiences a decline in value.
  
This Fund should only be purchased by investors seeking capital appreciation who
can withstand the share price volatility of mid cap equity investing. As with
any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment
goal. You can find more information about the Fund's investments and risks under
the "Investment Strategies and Risks" section of the Fund's Prospectus.

The Fund's Performance

The bar chart and performance table below illustrate some indication of the
risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance from
year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual total returns for 1
year and since inception compare with the Russell Midcap Value Index. The bar
chart does not reflect any sales charges, which would reduce your return. The
Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate
how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance is available at no
cost by visiting www.TouchstoneInvestments.com or by calling 1.800.543.0407.

[1] Touchstone Advisors and the Trust have entered into an expense limitation agreement whereby Touchstone Advisors has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fees and/or reimburse certain Fund expenses in order to limit annual fund operating expenses to 1.29%, 2.04%, 1.04% and 0.89% for Class A shares, Class C shares, Class Y shares and Institutional shares, respectively. This expense limitation will remain in effect until at least January 27, 2013 but can be terminated by a vote of the Board of Trustees of the Fund if they deem the termination to be beneficial to the Fund shareholder. The terms of Touchstone Advisors' contractual waiver agreement provide that Touchstone Advisors is entitled to recover, subject to approval by the Fund's Board of Trustees, such amounts waived or reimbursed for a period of up to three (3) years from the year in which Touchstone Advisors reduced its compensation and/or assumed expenses for the Fund. No recoupment will occur unless the Fund's operating expenses are below the expense limitation amount. See the discussion entitled "Contractual Fee Waiver Agreement" under the section entitled "The Funds' Management" in the Fund's Prospectus for more information.

Investment Strategy, Heading	rr_StrategyHeading	The Fund's Principal Investment Strategies
Investment Strategy, Narrative	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in fixed income 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 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, asset-backed securities and repurchase agreements. The Fund invests only in investment grade debt securities and does not invest in non-investment grade (e.g. "high yield") securities.  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, Longfellow Investment Management Co. ("Longfellow"). In selecting investments for the Fund, Longfellow chooses fixed income securities that it believes are attractively priced relative to the market or to similar instruments. While the Fund may invest in securities of any maturity, Longfellow seeks to maintain an effective duration for the Fund between one and three years under normal market conditions. A sector or security holding may be reduced if it becomes overvalued or if there is a change in the underlying fundamentals.  Longfellow may sell a security if another security is more attractive.
Risk, Heading	rr_RiskHeading	The Principal Risks
Risk, Narrative	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund's share price will fluctuate. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund and the Fund could also return less than other investments. The Fund is subject to the principal risks summarized below. Credit Risk: The securities in the Fund's portfolio are subject to the possibility that a deterioration, whether sudden or gradual, in the financial condition of an issuer, or a deterioration in general economic conditions, could cause an issuer to fail to make timely payments of principal or interest, when due. This may cause the issuer's securities to decline in value. Prepayment Risk: The risk that a debt security may be paid off and proceeds invested earlier than anticipated. Prepayment risk is more prevalent during periods of falling interest rates. Interest Rate Risk: As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities the Fund owns will likely to decrease.  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. Market Risk: The prices of the Fund's fixed income securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to perceptions about the creditworthiness of individual issuers, including governments. When markets are volatile, the Fund may not be able to buy or sell securities at favorable prices and the Fund may lose money. Management Risk: 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. Investment Grade Debt Securities Risk: Investment grade debt securities may be downgraded by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization ("NRSRO") to below investment grade status (as defined above), 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. Rating Agency Risk: Ratings represent an NRSRO's opinion regarding the quality of the security and are not a guarantee of quality. NRSROs may fail to make timely credit ratings in response to subsequent events. In addition, NRSROs are subject to an inherent conflict of interest because they are often compensated by the same issuers whose securities they grade. Investment Style Risk: Because of its focus on short duration securities, the Fund may underperform other segments of the fixed income market or the fixed income markets as a whole. U.S. Government Securities Risk: The Fund's U.S. government securities are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates. Securities issued by some U.S. government agencies are backed by the U.S. Treasury, while others are backed solely by the ability of the agency to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the agency's own resources. In addition, securities issued by agencies such as Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") are supported only by the credit of the issuing agency and any associated collateral. Some government agencies may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government which may increase the risk of loss of investment. Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk: 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'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. Asset-Backed Securities Risk: 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 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' effective maturities. Repurchase Agreement Risk: Under all repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund, the Fund'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 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's estate. Repurchase agreements are considered loans by the Fund. Event Risk: Securities may decline in credit quality and market value due to issuer restructurings, mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, tender or exchange offers, or other factors. 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 who seek exposure to fixed-income securities. As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal. You can find more information about the Fund's investments and risks under the "Investment Strategies and Risks" section of the Fund's Prospectus.

TOUCHSTONE SHORT DURATION FIXED INCOME FUND (Prospectus Summary) | TOUCHSTONE SHORT DURATION FIXED INCOME FUND

TOUCHSTONE SHORT DURATION FIXED INCOME FUND SUMMARY

The Fund's Investment Goal

The Touchstone Short Duration Fixed Income Fund seeks maximum total return
consistent with the preservation of capital.

The Fund's Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold
shares of the Fund.

Example.

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund
with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you
invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all
of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your
investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses
remain the same (reflecting the one year contractual fee waiver). Although your
actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would
be:

Expense Example TOUCHSTONE SHORT DURATION FIXED INCOME FUND (USD $)	Class Y	Class Z
Expense Example, With Redemption, 1 Year	50	76
Expense Example, With Redemption, 3 Years	360	284
Expense Example, With Redemption, 5 Years	692	509
Expense Example, With Redemption, 10 Years	1,632	1,158

Portfolio Turnover.

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 48%
of the average value of its portfolio.

The Fund's Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in
fixed income 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 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, asset-backed securities and repurchase agreements.
The Fund invests only in investment grade debt securities and does not invest in
non-investment grade (e.g. "high yield") securities.  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, Longfellow Investment Management Co. ("Longfellow").

In selecting investments for the Fund, Longfellow chooses fixed income
securities that it believes are attractively priced relative to the market or to
similar instruments. While the Fund may invest in securities of any maturity,
Longfellow seeks to maintain an effective duration for the Fund between one and
three years under normal market conditions. A sector or security holding may be
reduced if it becomes overvalued or if there is a change in the underlying
fundamentals.  Longfellow may sell a security if another security is more
attractive.

The Principal Risks

The Fund's share price will fluctuate. You could lose money on your investment
in the Fund and the Fund could also return less than other investments. The Fund
is subject to the principal risks summarized below.

Credit Risk: The securities in the Fund's portfolio are subject to the
possibility that a deterioration, whether sudden or gradual, in the financial
condition of an issuer, or a deterioration in general economic conditions, could
cause an issuer to fail to make timely payments of principal or interest, when
due. This may cause the issuer's securities to decline in value.

Prepayment Risk: The risk that a debt security may be paid off and proceeds
invested earlier than anticipated. Prepayment risk is more prevalent during
periods of falling interest rates.

Interest Rate Risk: As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities
the Fund owns will likely to decrease.  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.

Market Risk: The prices of the Fund's fixed income securities respond to
economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to
perceptions about the creditworthiness of individual issuers, including
governments. When markets are volatile, the Fund may not be able to buy or sell
securities at favorable prices and the Fund may lose money.

Management Risk: 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.

Investment Grade Debt Securities Risk: Investment grade debt securities may be
downgraded by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization ("NRSRO")
to below investment grade status (as defined above), 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.

Rating Agency Risk: Ratings represent an NRSRO's opinion regarding the quality
of the security and are not a guarantee of quality. NRSROs may fail to make
timely credit ratings in response to subsequent events. In addition, NRSROs are
subject to an inherent conflict of interest because they are often compensated
by the same issuers whose securities they grade.

Investment Style Risk: Because of its focus on short duration securities, the
Fund may underperform other segments of the fixed income market or the fixed
income markets as a whole.

U.S. Government Securities Risk: The Fund's U.S. government securities are not
guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates. Securities
issued by some U.S. government agencies are backed by the U.S. Treasury, while
others are backed solely by the ability of the agency to borrow from the U.S.
Treasury or by the agency's own resources. In addition, securities issued by
agencies such as Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and the
Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") are supported only by the
credit of the issuing agency and any associated collateral. Some government
agencies may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government
which may increase the risk of loss of investment.

Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk: 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'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.

Asset-Backed Securities Risk: 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 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' effective maturities.

Repurchase Agreement Risk: Under all repurchase agreements entered into by the
Fund, the Fund'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 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's estate. Repurchase agreements are
considered loans by the Fund.

Event Risk: Securities may decline in credit quality and market value due to
issuer restructurings, mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, tender or
exchange offers, or other factors.

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 who seek exposure to fixed-income securities. As
with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its
investment goal. You can find more information about the Fund's investments and
risks under the "Investment Strategies and Risks" section of the Fund's
Prospectus.

[1] Touchstone Advisors and the Trust have entered into an expense limitation agreement whereby Touchstone Advisors has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fees and/or reimburse certain Fund expenses in order to limit annual fund operating expenses to 0.49% and 0.74% for Class Y shares and Class Z shares, respectively. This expense limitation will remain in effect until at least January 27, 2013 but can be terminated by a vote of the Board of Trustees of the Fund if they deem the termination to be beneficial to the Fund shareholders. The terms of Touchstone Advisors' contractual waiver agreement provide that Touchstone Advisors is entitled to recover, subject to approval by the Fund's Board of Trustees, such amounts waived or reimbursed for a period of up to three (3) years from the year in which Touchstone Advisors reduced its compensation and/or assumed expenses for the Fund. No recoupment will occur unless the Fund's operating expenses are below the expense limitation amount.
