TDI Stock Discussion

Touchstone Dynamic International ETF Description

TDI provides broad exposure to the global equity markets outside the US. The fund may include common and preferred stocks, depositary receipts, REITs, as well as other exchange-traded funds. To construct the portfolio, the funds sub-adviser employs the Dynamic Alpha Stock Selection Model, a proprietary quantitative model that seeks to construct a risk-controlled, forward-looking portfolio that adapts to changing market conditions. The model estimates returns based on each securitys risk characteristics through a three-step process that utilizes fundamental data and statistical tools. An optimization process is then used to identify the portfolio of around 100-140 securities with the highest expected return for an acceptable level of risk. The fund rebalances periodically. On December 11, 2023, TDI converted from a mutual fund to an actively managed ETF with $62 million in assets.
