Updated name reflects long-standing sub-advisor relationship with Ares
Touchstone Investments, a Distinctively Active mutual fund company, announced that the Touchstone Credit Opportunities Fund is now the Touchstone Ares Credit Opportunities Fund. The updated name reflects the long-standing, successful sub-advisor relationship of the Touchstone Fund with Ares Management Corporation, a leading global alternative investment manager with offices in the North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East.
The Fund seeks to provide current income and capital appreciation by opportunistically investing across multiple credit asset classes with flexibility aimed at capitalizing on market inefficiencies and relative value opportunities. Portfolio risks, including credit risk and interest rate risk, are actively managed. The investment strategies and current investment process of the Fund are unchanged.

“Ares is a leading, global alternative asset manager and we wanted to bring it to the forefront via the name of the Fund,” said Blake Moore, president and chief executive officer of Touchstone Investments. “As market conditions continue to evolve, especially in this interest rate environment, it is important to consider an active manager such as Ares. Its dedicated investment team, deep fundamental credit research, integrated operating platform and broad perspective of relative value have helped produce a track record of strong risk-adjusted returns through varying market conditions.”
Touchstone incorporates a sub-advisor model that offers investors access to institutional asset managers whose strategies are typically not available to the average investor. The Fund seeks to generate absolute returns by investing primarily in global debt instruments, identifying opportunities believed to offer attractive relative value when compared to their fundamental credit risk. Ares incorporates a flexible investment strategy with the ability to allocate between high yield bonds, syndicated loans, CLO securities and liquid special situations.

The Touchstone Ares Credit Opportunities Fund’s tickers—TMARX for Class A Shares, TMACX for Class C Shares, TMAYX for Class Y Shares, and TARBX for INST Shares — will remain the same.
