The Touchstone International Equity ETF is sub-advised by The London Company

CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Touchstone Investments, known for its Distinctively Active® mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs), today announced the launch of the Touchstone International Equity ETF (TLCI: NYSE Arca), which is sub-advised by The London Company. TLCI will begin trading on March 5, 2025.

The Touchstone International Equity ETF is an actively managed fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in large-cap, non-U.S. equity securities, providing financial professionals and investors with opportunities for international diversification.

“With interest in international exposure growing, the Touchstone International Equity ETF is ideal for financial professionals and investors looking for a high conviction approach to investing in international markets,” said Matt Barry, vice president, product management and head of capital markets at Touchstone Investments. “We are excited to leverage The London Company’s extensive experience to provide investors with strategic exposure to global leaders.”

While the Touchstone International Equity ETF marks Touchstone Investments’ first ETF sub-advised by The London Company, the relationship between the two managers is longstanding, as The London Company sub-advises three of Touchstone Investments’ mutual funds: the Touchstone Small Cap Fund, the Touchstone Mid Cap Fund and the Touchstone Large Cap Fund.

“We are excited to partner with Touchstone Investments to offer investors our quality value approach to international markets, consistent with our current sub-advised mutual funds, prioritizing high-quality, well-run companies at attractive valuations,” said TJ Carter, portfolio manager at The London Company. “TLCI offers investors essential exposure to international markets to help diversify from U.S. markets in an active ETF, designed to provide competitive pricing and tax efficiency.”

The Touchstone International Equity ETF expands Touchstone Investments' suite of actively managed ETFs to 10, building on the firm’s continued collaboration with highly skilled sub-advisers to develop product options for financial professionals and the clients they serve. This marks Touchstone Investments’ third ETF launch in 2025, following the January debut of the Touchstone Sands Capital US Select Growth ETF (TSEL) and the February launch of the Touchstone Sands Capital Emerging Markets Ex-China Growth ETF (TEMX).

A Word About Risk

The Fund invests in equities which are subject to market volatility and loss. The Fund invests in stocks of large-cap companies which may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges. The Fund invests in foreign securities which carry the associated risks of economic and political instability, market liquidity, currency volatility and accounting standards that differ from those of U.S. markets and may offer less protection to investors.

The Fund invests in foreign securities, including depositary receipts, such as American Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts, and European Depositary Receipts, which carry the associated risks of economic and political instability, market liquidity, currency volatility and accounting standards that differ from those of U.S. markets and may offer less protection to investors. The Adviser engages a sub-adviser to make investment decisions for the Fund’s portfolio; it may be unable to identify and retain a sub-adviser who achieves superior investment returns relative to other similar sub-advisers. Events in the U.S. and global financial markets, including actions taken to stimulate or stabilize economic growth may at times result in unusually high market volatility, which could negatively impact Fund performance and cause it to experience illiquidity, shareholder redemptions, or other potentially adverse effects. Banks and financial services companies could suffer losses if interest rates rise or economic conditions deteriorate.

The Fund may focus its investments in specific sectors and therefore is subject to the risk that adverse circumstances will have greater impact on the fund than on the fund that does not do so. Touchstone exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are actively managed and do not seek to replicate a specific index. ETFs are bought and sold through an exchange at the then current market price, not net asset value (NAV), and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV when traded on an exchange. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. There can be no guarantee that an active market for ETFs will develop or be maintained, or that the ETF’s listing will continue or remain unchanged. The Fund’s service providers are susceptible to cyber security risks that could result in losses to a Fund and its shareholders. Cyber security incidents could affect issuers in which a Fund invests, thereby causing the Fund’s investments to lose value.

Please consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund carefully before investing. The prospectus and the summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Fund.
