About TSDCX

Touchstone Ultra Short Duration Fixed Income Fund Class C is an open-end mutual fund focused on preserving capital while seeking total return through a diversified, ultra-short bond portfolio. The strategy concentrates on investment‑grade U.S. fixed-income securities with an effective duration kept well below one year, positioning the fund to maintain limited interest rate sensitivity. According to third-party fund data, the portfolio spans U.S. Treasury and agency obligations, corporate bonds, and securitized assets such as mortgage‑backed, commercial mortgage‑backed, and asset‑backed securities, reflecting a broad approach to short‑maturity credit markets. The fund is categorized in the Ultrashort Bond peer group and typically emphasizes high credit quality within tight duration constraints, aiming to provide incremental income over cash while mitigating volatility. Class C shares offer access with a lower minimum initial investment than institutional share classes, paired with a higher ongoing expense structure characteristic of this share class format. Its role in the market is to serve as a cash‑management and liquidity sleeve, potentially smoothing portfolio cash flows and offering diversification across high‑quality short‑term fixed-income sectors.
