- Touchstone Anti-Benchmark US Core Equity Fund - A (TDEAX) is a mutual fund that seeks capital appreciation by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in U.S. equity securities of companies with market capitalizations similar to those in the Russell 3000 Index; it employs a long/short equity strategy incorporating a proprietary anti-benchmark approach designed to track the total return of the U.S. equity market while reducing volatility through active security selection and hedging. The fund offers Class A shares with a ticker symbol TDEAX, alongside other share classes including Institutional (TIABX) and Y (TDEYX), and is part of the Touchstone Funds Group Trust, a series of open-end mutual funds managed by Touchstone Advisors, Inc., which partners with institutional sub-advisors for specialized strategies. Touchstone Advisors, Inc., founded in 1994 and headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, operates as a subsidiary of Western & Southern Financial Group, providing a range of actively managed equity, fixed income, and multi-asset mutual funds distributed primarily through financial intermediaries to retail and institutional investors across the United States. The fund's portfolio management is led by Patrick Chedid, who applies quantitative and fundamental analysis to construct a market-neutral core equity portfolio targeting large- and mid-cap U.S. stocks. In recent developments, Touchstone Investments has focused on expanding its distribution platform, including targeting top registered investment advisor aggregators with new sales hires and strategies as of 2025, while maintaining its Distinctively Active model of sub-advised funds without major fund-specific acquisitions, launches, or reorganizations for TDEAX in the last 1-2 years. Earlier strategic changes within the broader Touchstone family, such as the 2021 acquisition of select AIG mutual fund assets totaling $7.5 billion and their reorganization into existing or new Touchstone funds, have bolstered the firm's scale and offerings in equity and allocation strategies. The fund remains positioned for U.S. core equity exposure with a benchmark-relative risk profile, exhibiting lower beta (around 0.62-0.77 over various periods) compared to broad market indices.
