Touchstone International Equity ETF (TLCI)

The Touchstone International Equity ETF (TLCI) focuses its investments on a curated portfolio of 25 to 40 robust, large-capitalization companies located outside the United States. Its selection process is fundamentally driven, operating from a bottom-up perspective. Key criteria for inclusion encompass businesses demonstrating superior cash returns on their tangible capital, maintaining solid financial health through strong balance sheets, and being led by management teams whose interests align with those of their shareholders. To diversify growth opportunities, the fund has the flexibility to allocate up to 10% of its assets to promising emerging markets. While not adhering to a strict sector focus, TLCI retains the option to overweight specific industries if they present particularly attractive return prospects. A deliberate long-term holding period, typically around five years, is employed to effectively mitigate both transaction costs and tax liabilities. Ultimately, the fund's overarching objective is to generate substantial long-term capital appreciation by identifying and investing in fundamentally sound companies that are currently undervalued but possess significant growth potential. Positions are typically exited when the underlying securities become overvalued, their fundamental strength deteriorates, or more compelling investment opportunities emerge elsewhere.
