Letter from the President

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide you with the Touchstone ETF Trust Annual Report. Inside you will find key financial information, as well as manager commentaries for the Funds, from the Funds' inception dates through the period ended December 31, 2022.

For the calendar year 2022, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) initiated a series of Fed Funds rate hikes to combat persistent inflation. Over the course of the year, the Fed raised overnight rates by over 4 percent in an effort to slow down economic growth. The Fed's attempt to engineer a "soft landing" for the economy created uncertainty at times throughout the year. This uncertainty contributed to a selloff in nearly every major asset class in the capital markets, a rare negative annual return for both U.S. equities and fixed income markets. Outside the U.S., global economic growth slowed due to various reasons such as the unexpected Russian invasion of Ukraine in February, disrupted supply chains and trade from continued COVID-related lockdowns in China, and political turbulence in the U.K. However, the capital markets absorption of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict by mid-year and the loosening of China's COVID lockdowns later in the year, were not enough to squelch economic headwinds that had been occurring since the beginning of 2022 including higher rates of inflation, slowing demand and higher energy prices.

U.S. equity markets reported negative results for the year. The equity style shift from Growth to Value that began in late 2020 continued throughout 2022. Within the domestic markets, large cap value stocks outperformed their growth counterparts on a relative basis. The aforementioned Fed rate hikes disproportionately impacted growth stocks due to their higher implied growth rates and longer duration of earnings growth included in their valuation multiples. Value stocks generally benefit from higher commodity costs (e.g. Energy sector) and when equity investors seek refuge in defensive sectors such as Consumer Staples and Health Care – both of which occurred during 2022.

In the fixed income markets, Fed rate hikes and persistent inflation pushed shorter maturity yields up compared to longer maturities on the yield curve, providing a headwind for the investment grade bonds. Over the full year, credit spreads did not widen significantly despite slowing economic growth, hence below investment grade bonds outperformed their investment grade peers due to their yield advantage.

We are reminded especially in periods like these of the importance of the steady hands of financial professionals, trust in your investment strategy, and the risks of trying to time the market. Additionally, we believe that environments that are more volatile create more opportunity for active managers to add value, especially those that are Distinctively Active with high Active Share. We greatly value your continued support. Thank you for including Touchstone as part of your investment plan.

Sincerely,

![](tm237590d4ncsri002.jpg)

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)

#### Touchstone Dividend Select ETF

#### Sub-Advised by Fort Washington Investment Advisors, Inc.

#### Investment Philosophy
The Touchstone Dividend Select ETF (the "Fund") seeks current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in a portfolio of 40-55 dividend-paying large-capitalization equities.

#### Fund Performance
The Touchstone Dividend Select ETF outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000<sup>®</sup> Value Index, since its inception on August 2, 2022 through December 31, 2022. The Fund's total return was 1.94 percent compared to the benchmark's total return of 0.52 percent.

#### Market Environment
The period was characterized by increased volatility and high uncertainty amid persistently high inflation, tightening financial conditions, and increased geopolitical conflicts. Inflation remained elevated in the period and the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) solidified its hawkish stance, but the end of the period represented an important transition for markets. Data indicated slower growth and signs that inflation is beginning to ease, and the Fed slowed the pace of hikes.

Treasury yields moved sharply higher during the second half of the year, with short-term rates moving along with Fed hikes and at a faster pace than long-term rates. Following a 0.75% rate increase in November, the Fed stepped down the rate of increase to 0.50% in December, for a cumulative total of 4.25% of rate increases in 2022. Current expectations are for the Fed Funds rate to reach 4.75-5.00% in early-2023 and remain above 4.50% for the entire year. Credit spreads were somewhat volatile during the period but ended relatively unchanged to slightly tighter.

US economic growth (GDP) in the third quarter 2022 was 3.2%, a rebound from prior quarters. The headline growth number was positively impacted by an outsized change in net exports which is unlikely to repeat, and the rest of the details indicated slower, near-trend growth. Consumer and business demand rebounded from prior quarters, while residential investment (housing) and inventories subtracted from growth. This report, along with several other indicators, continues to signal that tighter financial conditions are having the desired effect of slowing the economy.

While other economic indicators show weakness, job gains and wages have remained solid, supporting spending. Higher consumer income, along with accumulated savings from pandemic-era programs, have enabled consumers to maintain solid levels of spending.

Business spending rebounded somewhat during the period, but forward-looking data indicates further softening and represents another downside risk. The downshift in global growth has negatively impacted demand and various surveys of business confidence have fallen sharply over the past several months. Importantly, inventories are plentiful and supply chains have largely normalized, contributing to reduced inflation pressures from this sector of the economy.

U.S. equities declined over the period as investors grappled with tight financial conditions and the looming possibility of an economic slowdown. The worst performing sectors in the Index for the period were Real Estate, Communication Services, and Information Technology. The benchmark sectors that outperformed the most during the period were Energy, Materials, and Consumer Staples.

#### Portfolio Review
The Fund's outperformance was driven by positive stock selection within the Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, and Materials sectors. Sectors where the Fund underperformed were Utilities, Energy, and Information Technology. The Fund's overweight in Information Technology was a headwind which partially offset the Fund's positive stock selection. Information Technology underperformed as higher interest rates and slowing economic growth pressured valuations for higher growth, long duration stocks.

Among the individual contributors to relative performance were overweight positions in Caterpillar Inc. (Industrials sector) ("Caterpillar"), and Merck & Co. Inc. (Health Care sector), and an underweight position to Starbucks Corp. (Consumer Discretionary sector) ("Starbucks").

Caterpillar outperformed during the period and added to performance. The company reported strong third quarter results on better than expected equipment demand, a welcomed change in tone from prior quarters. A zero weight exposure to Meta Platforms Inc. ("Meta") contributed to relative performance during the period. Meta fell nearly 25% after reporting quarterly

results that missed expectations on advertising revenue and increased spending on the Metaverse. Meta does not pay a dividend, resulting in an underweight position for the Fund.

Starbucks also contributed to relative returns. Starbucks had been a relative underperformer for much of 2022 until the third quarter. Headwinds from lingering effects from the global pandemic, unionization efforts, and CEO uncertainty has pressured the stock for much of the past year. The third quarter brought a shift in tone as the company announced its new CEO while also providing an update on strategic guidance that impressed investors.

#### Outlook and Conclusion
Looking ahead, the key issue for investors is whether Fed tightening will spawn a U.S. recession, and if so, how severe it will be.

The consensus among economists is that a recession will unfold in 2023, as aggressive interest rate hikes by the Fed have resulted in a substantial tightening of financial market conditions. The positive aspect is that most forecasters envision a recession that is short and mild.

Another consideration for investors is where the Fed Funds Rate will peak and when the Fed will relax policy. In this regard, Fed officials have emphasized their commitment to bring inflation back to the 2% average annual target. Fed chair Jerome Powell stated at the December Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) meeting that there is still work to do to ensure this goal is attained. The median forecast of FOMC members is the Fed funds rate will peak at 5.0%-5.25% early this year and remain there for the balance of 2023.

Our take is the outcome hinges on how high the unemployment rate increases. Because Fed officials anticipate only a modest rise in unemployment to 4.6%, they are focusing on bringing inflation down. However, should unemployment rise to 5% or higher, we believe the Fed is more likely to lower rates.

Finally, another consideration is that conditions abroad are worse than in the U.S. Europe already may be in recession as policymakers face the daunting task of alleviating shortages in natural gas stemming from Russia's invasion of Ukraine. A spike in consumer price inflation in the Eurozone to 10% is further exacerbating the situation.

At the same time, the Chinese government confronts its biggest challenge since the COVID-19 pandemic struck three years ago. It recently had to scrap its zero tolerance policy in the wake of national protests, but it lacked a strategy to limit the fallout, and the country now faces a massive outbreak.

Our view is that if a U.S. recession were to materialize, it is likely to be less severe than recent recessions for two reasons: there are no major sectoral imbalances and consumer fundamentals remain healthy and have shown resilience to tightening financial conditions. Furthermore, we do not believe a recession is necessary to control inflation. Recent inflation data has continued to trend downward and forward-looking expectations remain anchored, both encouraging signs of progress and confidence in the Fed's ability to control inflation.

Within the Fund, we are maintaining a cautious stance but are selectively finding bottom-up opportunities while reducing outperforming defensive names where valuations have become stretched. Earnings expectations remain elevated and are at risk to fall amid slowing economic growth. Despite most equity indices ending the year near or in a bear market, downside still remains should equity earnings deteriorate.

Although risks have risen, valuations have adjusted to reasonable levels and the long-term economic outlook is still promising. As such, we remain constructive on U.S. equities. As investors seek to avoid the risks of inflation, higher interest rates, and recession, dividend strategies are a compelling option. Dividend strategies have the potential to provide both capital appreciation and a growing stream of income while also providing a cushion through lower volatility during times of distress.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)

#### Touchstone Strategic Income Opportunities ETF

#### Sub-Advised by Fort Washington Investment Advisors, Inc.

#### Investment Philosophy
The Touchstone Strategic Income Opportunities ETF (the "Fund") seeks a high level of current income with a focus on capital preservation by investing primarily in income producing fixed income securities.

#### Fund Performance
The Touchstone Strategic Income Opportunities ETF outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, since the Fund's inception on July 21, 2022 through December 31, 2022. The Fund's total return was -0.03 percent compared to the benchmark's total return of -3.93 percent.

#### Market Environment
The second half of 2022 was characterized by increased volatility and high uncertainty amid persistently high inflation, tightening financial conditions, and increased geopolitical conflicts. Inflation remained elevated in the third quarter and the U.S. Federal Reserve ("Fed") solidified its hawkish stance, but the fourth quarter represented an important transition for markets. Data indicated slower growth and signs that inflation is beginning to ease, and the Fed slowed the pace of hikes.

Treasury yields moved sharply higher during the second half of 2022, with short-term rates moving along with Fed hikes and at a faster pace than long-term rates. Following a 0.75% rate increase in November, the Fed stepped down the rate of increase to 0.50% in December, for a cumulative total of 4.25% of rate increases in 2022. Current expectations are for the Fed Funds rate to reach 4.75-5.00% in early-2023 and remain above 4.50% for the entire year. Credit spreads were somewhat volatile during the period but ended relatively unchanged to slightly tighter.

U.S. economic growth (GDP) in third quarter 2022 was 3.2%, a rebound from prior quarters. The headline growth number was positively impacted by an outsized change in net exports which is unlikely to repeat, and the rest of the details indicated slower, near-trend growth. Consumer and business demand rebounded from prior quarters, while residential investment (housing) and inventories subtracted from growth. This report, along with several other indicators, continues to indicate that tighter financial conditions are having the desired effect of slowing the economy.

Business spending rebounded somewhat in the period, but forward-looking data indicates further softening and represents another downside risk. The downshift in global growth has negatively impacted demand and various surveys of business confidence have fallen sharply over the past several months. Importantly, inventories are plentiful and supply chains have largely normalized, contributing to reduced inflation pressures from this sector of the economy.

An improvement in the inflation picture was a key driver of markets in the period, and will remain crucially important into 2023. During the period, inflation data decelerated notably, driven by declining commodity and other goods prices. Services inflation remained strong, but forward-looking data indicates it will also move lower in mid-2023. Along with slower growth, the improvement in inflation data allowed the Fed to downshift to a 0.50% rate increase in December. Further progress is needed to confidently say that inflation is heading back to 2.0%, but we believe recent optimism is justified and expect inflation to drift lower in 2023. For their part, we believe the Fed will continue to indicate tighter policy as inflation will remain well above target for the next several months. However, in our view, the path of policy priced into markets is appropriate and slower growth/lower inflation will put downward pressure on rates in 2023.

Credit spreads across sectors and quality ranges are generally in the 50-60 percentile relative to history after the recovery late in the period. Credit spreads reflect some uncertainty, but are not indicating significant concern of an imminent or deep recession. If the economy slows more/faster than expected, credit spreads are likely to widen. However, if a soft landing is achieved or a recession is shallow, the current level of spreads is compelling. As a result, we believe current valuations support a modest overweight to risk in portfolios.

#### Portfolio Review
The Fund's outperformance during the period occurred as interest rate positioning added to relative performance versus the benchmark. The portfolio maintained a duration between 4 and 5 years during the period, compared to 6 to 6.5 years for the benchmark. Interest rates rose materially during the period, resulting in outperformance as the portfolio was positioned with a shorter duration compared to the benchmark. The yield curve moved materially higher and the curve flattened as short-term rates moved higher than long-term rates.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) (Continued)

Sector allocation added to relative performance during the period. An overweight allocation to High Yield and Emerging Market Debt were the primary drivers of positive sector allocation. The sectors outperformed as credit spreads tightened.

Security selection was also a positive factor for relative performance. All sectors generated positive security selection during the period, including Investment Grade Credit, Securitized, High Yield, and Emerging Markets Debt.

The Fund reduced its exposure to Investment Grade Credit and High Yield during the period, and modestly increased Emerging Markets Debt. Spreads were volatile but tightened during the period and valuations became less compelling, presenting an opportunity to modestly reduce exposure to spread sectors.

#### Outlook and Conclusion
Overall growth has slowed to below-trend pace, but expected softening in job growth is a downside risk over coming months. Inflation has declined from recent highs, a welcome signal for markets. However, further deceleration is needed throughout 2023 to move inflation back toward 2.0 percent. The Fed has aggressively raised rates to combat inflation and we believe will continue to indicate restrictive policy until they see a string of data that confirms a lower inflation trajectory. We believe slowing growth and tight monetary policy represents the biggest risk to markets, but we do not believe a hard recession is necessary to control inflation. As our view of the economy and monetary policy changes, we will adjust positioning as these risks evolve.

We believe the Fund is positioned to perform well in a stable to improving market environment. We believe an overweight to credit sectors should benefit investors as valuations are generally fair at current levels. The Fund had previously and currently continues to generate an above average yield through a high conviction multi-sector approach, and we believe should also perform well in a stable environment through its excess carry. The portfolio's yield rose to historically high levels during the period and we believe should help offset potential risks. In today's volatile and uncertain environment, we believe the Fund provides a compelling solution for fixed income investors due to its flexible and risk-oriented approach.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)

#### Touchstone Ultra Short Income ETF

#### Sub-Advised by Fort Washington Investment Advisors, Inc.

#### Investment Philosophy
The Touchstone Ultra Short Income ETF (the "Fund") seeks maximum total return consistent with the preservation of capital by primarily investing in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities of different maturities, including U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise securities, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, municipal bonds, collateralized loan obligations and cash equivalent securities including repurchase agreements and commercial paper. While the Fund may invest in securities of any maturity or duration, interest rate risk is managed by seeking to maintain an effective duration of one year or less under normal market conditions.

#### Fund Performance
The Touchstone Ultra Short Income ETF underperformed its primary benchmark, the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, and outperformed its secondary benchmark, the ICE BofA 1-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index, since its inception on August 4, 2022 through December 31, 2022. The Fund's total return was 0.87 percent while the total returns of its benchmarks were 1.22 percent and 0.20 percent, respectively.

#### Market Environment
The third quarter 2022 began on an optimistic note, as moderating energy and commodity prices fueled investor optimism that inflation may have peaked, and that the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) might soon be able to pare back its monetary tightening efforts and achieve the elusive soft landing. Risk markets enjoyed a brief rally—a welcomed reprieve from the steady negativity of the first half of the year. Optimism faded quickly, however, when Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell delivered the annual speech at the Jackson Hole, Wyoming conference on August 26, 2022. While markets' momentary optimism implied some expectation of a pivot to dovishness, Powell instead delivered a strong hawkish message. He reiterated the urgency of the Fed getting inflation under control at all costs, and conveyed his view that we were still a long way away from achieving that mandate.

August consumer price index (CPI) data was released in mid-September, showing worse-than expected persistence across all key segments—even acceleration in some areas. This undoubtedly contributed to the Fed's decision to hike rates by 75 basis points in September (the third consecutive rate hike of that magnitude), bringing cumulative year-to-date Fed hikes to 300 basis points. In spite of this strong degree of monetary tightening, the labor market remained resilient, posting solid job gains throughout the quarter, and even a slight decline in the unemployment rate—back to the mid-summer low of 3.5%

The fourth quarter started with continued volatility across all markets and a divergence in spread movements across the fixed income sectors. With the Fed raising rates at the end of the third quarter, markets continued to process whether a soft landing might actually be achievable, or alternatively how soon a recession might start. Corporate spreads generally trended tighter during the quarter, while securitized spreads spent the first half of fourth quarter widening. That changed mid-November as buyer demand shifted into securitized, driving spreads in tighter throughout the remainder of the quarter. The Treasury curve was dynamic throughout the quarter, with movements divisible into three parts: during October, the entire curve shifted higher, as the short end (6 months and in) moved +60-90 basis points (bps) and the long end rose by 20-40 bps. A dramatic reversal occurred in November, as the front end 3 months and in rose by 25-30 bps, while the 3+year rallied 20-45 bps. December saw reversal again, as the longer part of the curve (5 years and longer) moved 20-25 bps higher and shorter tenors moved 10-15 bps higher. All-in for the quarter, markets saw short rates (1 year and in) rise 75-130 bps and longer rates move 5-10 bps in either direction.

The Fed raised rates twice in the period—75 bps in November and 50 basis points in December. After the November meeting, markets processed the possibility that the economy was slowing, and that we could see a hard landing. Markets began anticipating that the Fed would soon be pivoting from its hawkish tone, which helped drive the rally in longer treasury rates. The momentum was disrupted in December, however, as the Fed doubled down on its hawkish tone, reiterating the need to drag inflation down to the 2% target. This contrasted sharply with the September CPI of 7.7 and the October CPI at 7.1, although higher rates are certainly starting to have an effect on inflation. The Fed dots plot from the December meeting shows the Fed expecting no rate cuts until at least 2024, after rates topping off just above 5% in 2023.

The Fed ended the period maintaining their hawkish bias. Markets still generally believe there will be a recession, but are also expecting that rates will need to remain "higher for longer" in order to get inflation down to the target level. The Russian/Ukrainian war continues to threaten not just geopolitical stability but also energy and commodity markets, although a milder winter is helping by softening demand on the energy front. China is rescinding COVID restrictions to open up markets and manufacturing, while domestically we are starting to see large corporate layoffs being announced. Gross domestic product consensus forecast for 2023 is a soft 0.3%.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) (Continued)

#### Portfolio Review
The largest driver of performance was carry. Real short rates increased. While spreads tightened overall for the quarter, this was not enough to offset the movements in rates. Floating rate assets provided significant income, as coupons continued to reset at the higher rates.

Spreads across ultra short duration subsectors were volatile during the period. Markets stabilized toward period-end, especially at the top of the capital structure (AAA/AA). The strongest nominal subsector returns in the fund for the period were Collateralized Loan Obligations, Corporates, and Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities, while the lowest-returning subsectors were Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities, and Asset- Backed Securities.

The Fund's duration positioning at period end remained at the short end of our historical range for Ultra Short portfolios at 0.46 years. Given the rise in rates on the short end, it detracted from performance as longer duration 2.5-3 year assets tightened and yield curve was lower.

The rise in rates in the front end added to the carry on the portfolio. The reset to higher rates for floating rate assets also increased investment income in the portfolio. Carry offset the move in short rates, resulting in a positive return for the fourth quarter.

#### Outlook and Conclusion
We expect to see continued volatility to start the year but more stabilization in fund outflows. We also expect spreads to tighten given slower new issue pipeline for structured products. We believe the key driver for markets will continue to be the Fed as markets anticipate how high rates will go, and how long they will have to remain elevated in order to tame inflation. Financial conditions are tightening, given the higher rate environment, and consumers have continued to increase their overall debt load with higher credit card utilization rates. Nonetheless, most consumer and corporate balance sheets seem to be in good shape heading into this higher rate environment.

With the Fed keeping close watch on the markets, and our expectation for volatility to remain elevated, we continue to favor floating rate assets and shorter duration on our fixed rate securities. Although we increased cash equivalents during the fourth quarter as a defensive measure for potential seasonal outflows, we expect to reduce that to a normalized 7-10% range going forward. We continue to favor structured products over corporates given the pickup in spread and quality.

Going forward we believe the Fund is positioned well. The portfolio holds most securities marked at a discount, and will benefit from a "pull to par" as those bonds amortize and mature. We believe the higher yields from the move in rates and spreads should provide a higher carry than we have seen in quite a while, and we look to take advantage of that opportunity by reinvesting portfolio cash flow into higher-yielding assets. We still expect volatility to remain elevated, and we do expect to see some degree of recession in the near-term. With overall fund credit quality of AA-, we believe the Fund is positioned well to withstand that type of environment.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)

#### Touchstone US Large Cap Focused ETF

#### Sub-Advised by Fort Washington Investment Advisors, Inc.

#### Investment Philosophy
The Touchstone US Large Cap Focused ETF (the "Fund") seeks to provide investors with capital appreciation by investing in 25-45 U.S. companies of capitalizations above $5 billion at time of purchase that are trading below what is believed to be the estimate of their intrinsic value and have a sustainable competitive advantage or a high barrier to entry in place. The barrier(s) to entry can be created through a cost advantage, economies of scale, high customer loyalty or a government barrier (e.g. license or subsidy). Fort Washington believes that the strongest barrier to entry is the combination of economies of scale and high customer loyalty.

#### Fund Performance
The Touchstone US Large Cap Focused ETF outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index, since its inception on July 27, 2022 through December 31, 2022. The Fund's total return was -3.25 percent compared to the benchmark's total return of -3.82 percent.

#### Market Environment
U.S. equities declined over the five month period as investors grappled with tight financial conditions and the looming possibility of an economic slowdown. The worst performing sectors in the index for the period were Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, and Real Estate. The benchmark sectors that outperformed the most during the period were Energy, Health Care, and Industrials.

#### Portfolio Review
Within the Fund's holdings, sectors in which the Fund outperformed the benchmark include Energy, Materials, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Communication Services, Information Technology, and Health Care. Sectors where the Fund underperformed were Consumer Discretionary, Real Estate, and Financials. Sector allocation had a slightly negative impact to performance for the period.

Among the stocks that contributed to performance were Schlumberger Ltd. (Energy) ("Schlumberger"), Biomarin Pharmaceutical (Health Care) ("Biomarin"), and Hubbell Inc. (Industrials) ("Hubbell"). Schlumberger outperformed due to strong earnings and forward guidance as the company benefited from international oil and gas companies mobilizing rigs to capitalize on tight supply. Biomarin outperformed primarily due to third quarter results that surprised to the upside and promising activity in its pipeline. Hubbell outperformed primarily due to strong earnings results re-affirming that the company is a beneficiary of the need to improve the grid with the global energy transition.

Among the stocks that detracted the most from performance were Alphabet Inc. (Communication Services) ("Alphabet"), Amazon.com Inc. (Consumer Discretionary) ("Amazon"), and Salesforce Inc. (Information Technology) ("Salesforce"). Alphabet underperformed as online advertising has been under pressure for several reasons including consumer spending shifting toward offline channels post-COVID, inflationary pressures limiting discretionary spending, and Apple privacy changes impacting advertisers' return on investment. Amazon underperformed due to pull forward of demand and overbuilding of fulfillment capacity. Salesforce underperformed primarily due to concerns that macroeconomic headwinds would expand the length of its sales cycle and reduce deal sizes.

#### Outlook and Conclusion
Despite the fourth quarter rally in equities, the path for a soft landing remains narrow and we continue to see indications of the slowdown we thought was likely in the back half of 2022 and into 2023 mainly due to the lag effects of higher interest rates and higher prices. The labor market and consumer spending have been resilient buoyed by elevated pandemic savings. But with sustained tight financial conditions, we see additional downside risk to growth.

Based on our outlook, we have been mitigating risk through a combination of long standing elements of our process and gradual shifts in portfolio positioning. Several components seek to mitigate the impact of higher inflation and interest rates. First, we believe focusing on barriers to entry in fundamental analysis, specifically businesses with pricing power, is especially important today as companies look to pass on cost pressures. Second, consistently using conservative discount rates provides a cushion as rates rise. Last, prioritizing a margin of safety with each holding provides additional risk mitigation for challenging market environments. Additionally, we seek to gradually reduce portfolio risk in terms of both sector weights and exposures within sectors. Within sectors,

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) (Continued)

we also take opportunities to swap out of positions in favor of new positions that come with some combination of fundamental risk reduction and higher margin of safety in valuation.

The Fund continues to emphasize businesses with higher barriers to entry and returns on capital. Portfolio positioning is fairly defensive as we look for opportunities that fit our framework through the volatility. We believe this risk posture combined with continued disciplined execution of our process will benefit the portfolio going forward.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2022

1. Organization

The Touchstone ETF Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated February 1, 2022. The Trust consists of the following four funds (individually, a "Fund", and collectively, the "Funds"):

---

| |
|:---|
| Touchstone Dividend Select ETF ("Dividend Select ETF") |
| Touchstone Strategic Income Opportunities ETF ("Strategic Income Opportunities ETF") |
| Touchstone Ultra Short Income ETF ("Ultra Short Income ETF") |
| Touchstone US Large Cap Focused ETF ("US Large Cap Focused ETF") |

---

Each Fund is diversified, with the exception of the US Large Cap Focused ETF, which is non-diversified.

The Agreement and Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of each Fund. The Funds are actively managed exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"). Shares of the Dividend Select ETF (ticker: DVND) and the Strategic Income Opportunities ETF (ticker: SIO) are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. and shares of US Large Cap Focused ETF (ticker: LCF) and the Ultra Short Income ETF (ticker: TUSI) are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. The market price for a share of each Fund may be different from a Fund's most recent net asset value ("NAV"). ETFs are funds that trade like other publicly traded securities. Unlike shares of a mutual fund, which can be bought and redeemed from the issuing fund by all shareholders at a price based on NAV, shares of the Funds may be purchased or redeemed directly from the Funds at NAV solely by a member or participant of a clearing agency registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), which has entered into an "Authorized Participant Agreement" with the funds' distributor and the transfer agent or purchase aggregations of a specific number of shares ("Creation Units") through a dealer that has entered into such an agreement ("Authorized Participants"). Also, unlike shares of a mutual fund, shares of the Funds are listed on an exchange and trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day.

The assets of each Fund are segregated, and a shareholder's interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. The Funds' prospectus provides a description of each Fund's investment goal, policies, and strategies.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the Funds' significant accounting policies:

Each Fund is an investment company that follows the accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies.

**Security valuation and fair value measurements — U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") define fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. All investments in securities are recorded at their fair value. The Funds define the term "market value", as used throughout this report, as the estimated fair value. The Funds use various methods to measure fair value of their portfolio securities on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP fair value measurement standards require disclosure of a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:**

• Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

• Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

• Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including a Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The aggregate value by input level, as of December 31, 2022, for each Fund's investments, is included in each Fund's Portfolio of Investments, which also includes a breakdown of the Fund's investments by credit quality and/or sector allocation. The Funds did not hold or transfer any Level 3 categorized securities during the period ended December 31, 2022.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy.

The Funds' portfolio securities are valued as of the close of the regular session of trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time or at the time as of which the NYSE establishes official closing prices). Portfolio securities traded on stock exchanges are valued at the last reported sale price, official close price, or last bid price if no sales are reported. Portfolio securities quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") or from the primary exchange on which the security trades. To the extent these securities are actively traded, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

hierarchy. Shares of mutual funds in which the Funds invest are valued at their respective net asset value ("NAV") as reported by the underlying funds and are categorized in Level 1.

Debt securities held by the Funds are valued at their evaluated bid by an independent pricing service or at their last broker-quoted bid prices as obtained from one or more of the major market makers for such securities. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values through accepted market modeling conventions. Observable inputs to the models may include prepayment speeds, pricing spread, yield, trade information, dealer quotes, market color, cash flow models, the securities' terms and conditions, among others, and are generally categorized in Level 2. Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are valued by independent pricing services using models that consider estimated cash flows of each tranche of the security, establish a benchmark yield and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche, and are generally categorized in Level 2. Debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates market value and are categorized in Level 2. While this method provides consistency in valuation (and may only be used if it approximates market value), it may result in periods during which fair value, as determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower than the price that would be received if the Fund sold the investment.

Securities mainly traded on a non-U.S. exchange or denominated in foreign currencies are generally valued according to the preceding closing values on that exchange, translated to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE, and are generally categorized in Level 1. However, if an event that may change the value of a security occurs after the time that the closing value on the non-U.S. exchange was determined, but before the close of regular trading on the NYSE, the security may be priced based on fair value and is generally categorized in Level 2. This may cause the value of the security, if held on the books of a Fund, to be different from the closing value on the non-U.S. exchange and may affect the calculation of that Fund's NAV. The Funds may use fair value pricing under the following circumstances, among others:

• If the value of a security has been materially affected by events occurring before the Funds' pricing time but after the close of the primary markets on which the security is traded.

• If the exchange on which a portfolio security is principally traded closes early or if trading in a particular portfolio security was halted during the day and did not resume prior to the Funds' NAV calculation.

• If a security is so thinly traded that reliable market quotations are unavailable due to infrequent trading.

• If the validity of market quotations is not reliable.

Securities held by the Funds that do not have readily available market quotations, significant observable inputs, or securities for which the available market quotations are not reliable, are priced at their estimated fair value using procedures established by Touchstone Advisors, Inc. (the "Adviser") and adopted by the Funds' Board of Trustees (the "Board") and are generally categorized in Level 3.

**Collateralized Loan Obligations — The Strategic Income Opportunities ETF and Ultra Short Income ETF may invest in collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"). CLOs are types of asset-backed securities. A CLO is an entity that is backed by syndicated bank loans. The cash flows of the CLO can be split into multiple segments, called "tranches," which will vary in risk profile and yield. The riskiest segment is the subordinated or "equity" tranche. This tranche bears the greatest risk of defaults from the underlying assets in the CLO and serves to protect the other, more senior, tranches from default in all but the most severe circumstances. Since it is shielded from defaults by the more junior tranches, a "senior" tranche will typically have higher credit ratings and lower yields than their underlying securities, and often receive higher ratings from one or more of the nationally recognized rating agencies. Despite the protection from the more junior tranches, senior tranches can experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, increased sensitivity to future defaults and the disappearance of one or more protecting tranches as a result of changes in the credit profile of the underlying pool of assets.**

**Investment companies — The Funds may invest in securities of other investment companies, including ETFs, open-end funds and closed-end funds. Open-end funds are investment companies that issue new shares continuously and redeem shares daily. Closed-end funds are investment companies that typically issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a securities exchange or over-the-counter ("OTC"). An ETF is an investment company that typically seeks to track the performance of an index by holding in its portfolio shares of all the companies, or a representative sample of the companies, that are components of a particular index. ETF shares are traded on a securities exchange based on their market value. The risks of investment in other investment companies typically reflect the risks of the types of securities in which the other investment companies invest. Investments in ETFs and closed-end funds are subject to the additional risk that their shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV. When a Fund invests in another investment company, shareholders of the Fund indirectly bear their proportionate share of the other investment company's fees and expenses, including operating, registration, trustee, licensing, and marketing, as well as their share of the Fund's fees and expenses.**

#### Foreign currency translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars and translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

------

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

(1) market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange on the valuation date; and

(2) purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments in equity securities that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities.

**Real Estate Investment Trusts — The Funds may invest in real estate investment trusts ("REITs") that involve risks not associated with investing in stocks. Risks associated with investments in REITs include declines in the value of real estate, general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property and defaults by borrowers. The value of assets in the real estate industry may go through cycles of relative underperformance and outperformance in comparison to equity securities markets in general. Dividend income is recorded using management's estimate of the income included in distributions received from REIT investments. The actual amounts of income, return of capital and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end and may differ from the estimated amount. Estimates of income are adjusted in the Funds to the actual amounts when the amounts are determined.**

**Portfolio securities loaned — The Funds may lend their portfolio securities. Lending portfolio securities exposes the Funds to the risk that the borrower may fail to return the loaned securities or may not be able to provide additional collateral or that the Funds may experience delays in recovery of the loaned securities or loss of rights in the collateral if the borrower fails financially. To minimize these risks, the borrower must agree to maintain cash collateral with the Funds' custodian. The loaned securities are secured by collateral valued at least equal, at all times, to the market value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest, if any. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the security lending agreement. The cash collateral is reinvested by the Funds' custodian into an approved short-term investment vehicle. The approved short-term investment vehicle is subject to market risk.**

As of December 31, 2022, the following Fund loaned securities and received collateral as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Fund** | **Security Type** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Market Value of<br> Securities Loaned\*** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Market Value of<br> Collateral Received\*\*** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Net<br> Amount\*\*\*** |
| Strategic Income Opportunities ETF | Corporate Bonds | &nbsp;&nbsp;$906812 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$941841 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$35029 |

---

*\** *The remaining contractual maturity is overnight for all securities.* 

*\*\** *Gross amount of recognized liabilities for securities lending included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.* 

*\*\*\** *Net amount represents the net amount payable due to (received from) the borrower in the event of default.* 

All cash collateral is received, held, and administered by the Funds' custodian for the benefit of the lending Fund in its custody account or other account established for the purpose of holding collateral in cash equivalents.

Funds participating in securities lending receive compensation in the form of fees. Securities lending income is derived from lending long securities from the Funds to creditworthy approved borrowers at rates that are determined based on daily trading volumes, float, short-term interest rates and market liquidity and is shown net of fees on the Statements of Operations. When a Fund lends securities, it retains the interest or dividends on the investment of any cash received as collateral, and the Fund continues to receive interest or dividends on the loaned securities.

Unrealized gain or loss on the market value of the loaned securities that may occur during the term of the loan is recognized by the Fund. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover any loaned securities from the borrower on demand.

**When-issued or delayed delivery transactions — Each Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Fund to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Fund assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining NAV. The Fund may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Fund has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Fund does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security. When-issued or delayed delivery transactions physically settling within 35-days are deemed not to involve a senior security. When-issued or delayed delivery transactions that do not physically settle within 35-days are required to be treated as derivatives transactions in compliance with the regulatory limitations set forth in Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act (the "Derivatives Rule"). Effective August 19, 2022 (the "Compliance Date"), the Derivatives Rule replaced the asset segregation regime of Investment Company Act Release No. 10666 ("Release 10666") with a new framework for the use of derivatives by registered funds. As of the Compliance Date, the SEC rescinded Release 10666 and withdrew no-action letters and similar guidance addressing a fund's use of derivatives and began requiring funds to satisfy the requirements of the Derivatives Rule. As a result, on or after the Compliance**

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

Date, the Funds will no longer engage in "segregation" or "coverage" techniques with respect to derivatives transactions and will instead comply with the applicable requirements of the Derivatives Rule.

**Share valuation — The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated daily by dividing the total value of a Fund's assets, less liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares.**

**Investment income — Dividend income from securities is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding taxes, if any, which are reduced by any amounts reclaimable by the Funds, where applicable. Interest income from securities is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted. Realized gains and losses resulting from principal pay downs on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are included in interest income. Market discounts, original issue discounts and market premiums on debt securities are accreted/amortized to interest income over the life of the security or to the appropriate call date, as applicable, with a corresponding adjustment in the cost basis of that security. In addition, it is the Funds' policy to accrue for foreign capital gains taxes, if applicable, on certain foreign securities held by the Funds. An estimated foreign capital gains tax is recorded daily on net unrealized gains on these securities and is payable upon the sale of such securities when a gain is realized.**

**Distributions to shareholders — Each Fund intends to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its income and capital gains. The US Large Cap Focused ETF declares and distributes its income, if any, annually, as a dividend to shareholders. The Dividend Select ETF declares and distributes its income, if any, quarterly, as a dividend to shareholders. The Strategic Income Opportunities ETF and the Ultra Short Income ETF declare and distribute their income, if any, monthly as a dividend to shareholders. Each Fund makes distributions of capital gains, if any, at least annually, net of applicable capital loss carryforwards. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations. Recognition of the Funds' net investment income from investments in underlying funds is affected by the timing of dividend declarations by the underlying funds.**

**Allocations — Expenses not directly billed to a Fund are allocated proportionally among all Funds in the Trust, and, if applicable, Touchstone Funds Group Trust, Touchstone Strategic Trust and Touchstone Variable Series Trust (collectively with the Trust, "Touchstone Fund Complex"), daily in relation to net assets of each Fund or another reasonable measure.**

**Security transactions — Security transactions are reflected for financial reporting purposes as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified cost basis.**

**Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.**

**LIBOR Transition — Many debt securities, derivatives and other financial instruments in which the Funds may invest, as well as any borrowings made by the Funds from banks or from other lenders, utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") as the reference or benchmark index for interest rate calculations. LIBOR is a measure of the average interest rate at which major global banks can borrow from one another. Plans are underway to phase out the use of LIBOR by June 30, 2023. The ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, the administrator of LIBOR, ceased publishing certain LIBOR maturities, including some U.S. LIBOR maturities, on December 31, 2021, and is expected to cease publishing the remaining and most liquid U.S. LIBOR maturities on June 30, 2023. Before then, it is expected that market participants have or will transition to the use of different reference or benchmark indices. However, there is currently no definitive information regarding the future utilization of LIBOR or of any particular replacement index. As such, the potential effect of a transition away from LIBOR on the Funds' investments cannot yet be determined.**

4. Transactions with Affiliates and Other Related Parties

Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of the Adviser or The Bank of New York Mellon ("BNY Mellon"), the Sub-Administrator, custodian and transfer agent to the Funds. Such officers receive no compensation from the Trust. The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Western & Southern Financial Group, Inc. ("Western & Southern").

On behalf of the Funds, the Adviser pays each Independent Trustee a quarterly retainer plus additional retainers to the Lead Independent Trustee and the chairs of each standing committee. Interested Trustees do not receive compensation from the Funds. Each Independent Trustee also receives compensation for each Board meeting and committee meeting attended. Each standing committee chair receives additional compensation for each committee meeting that he or she oversees. The Adviser is reimbursed by the Funds for the Independent Trustees' compensation and out-of-pocket expenses relating to their services. The Funds accrued Trustee-related expenses of $51,864 for the Funds' Board for the period ended December 31, 2022.

#### MANAGEMENT & EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENTS
The Adviser provides general investment supervisory services for the Funds, under the terms of an advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement"). Under the Advisory Agreement, each Fund pays the Adviser a fee, which is computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of each Fund as shown in the table below.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Dividend Select ETF | &nbsp;&nbsp;0.55% on the first $1 billion |
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;0.50% on assets over $1 billion |
| Strategic Income Opportunities ETF | &nbsp;&nbsp;0.55% on the first $250 million |

|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;0.40% on assets over $2 billion |

---

The Adviser has entered into investment sub-advisory agreements with Fort Washington Investment Advisors, Inc. (the "Sub-Adviser"), an affiliate of the Adviser and wholly-owned subsidiary of Western & Southern. The Adviser pays sub-advisory fees to the Sub-Adviser from its advisory fee.

The Adviser entered into an expense limitation agreement (the "Expense Limitation Agreement") to contractually limit the annual operating expenses of the Funds, excluding: dividend and interest expenses relating to short sales; interest; taxes; brokerage commissions and other transaction costs; portfolio transaction and investment related expenses, including expenses associated with the Funds' interfund lending program, if any; other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with U.S. GAAP; the cost of "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses", if any; and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of business. The maximum annual operating expense limit in any year with respect to the Funds is based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Funds. The Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of its fees, and to reimburse certain fund expenses in order to maintain the following expense limitations for the Funds:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  |  | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Termination Date** |
| Dividend Select ETF | &nbsp;&nbsp;0.67% | &nbsp;&nbsp;August 31, 2023 |
| Strategic Income Opportunities ETF | &nbsp;&nbsp;0.65% | &nbsp;&nbsp;August 31, 2023 |
| Ultra Short Income ETF | &nbsp;&nbsp;0.34% | &nbsp;&nbsp;August 31, 2023 |
| US Large Cap Focused ETF | &nbsp;&nbsp;0.69% | &nbsp;&nbsp;August 31, 2023 |

---

The Expense Limitation Agreement can be terminated with respect to a Fund by a vote of the Funds' Board if it deems the termination to be beneficial to the Fund's shareholders.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

During the period ended December 31, 2022, the Adviser or its affiliates waived investment advisory fees, administration fees or other operating expenses, as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Fund** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Investment<br> Advisory<br> Fees Waived** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Administration<br> Fees Waived** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Other Operating<br> Expenses<br> Reimbursed/<br> Waived** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Total** |
| Dividend Select ETF | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$— | &nbsp;&nbsp;$12105 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$52120 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$64225 |
| Strategic Income Opportunities ETF | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;— | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;57399 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;40728 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;98127 |
| Ultra Short Income ETF | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;— | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;27070 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;52340 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;79410 |
| US Large Cap Focused ETF | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7536 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12449 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;56406 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;76391 |

---

Under the terms of the Expense Limitation Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to recover, subject to approval by the Funds' Board, such amounts waived or reimbursed for a period of up to three years from the date on which the Adviser reduced its compensation or assumed expenses for the Funds. A Fund will make repayments to the Adviser only if such repayment does not cause the Fund's operating expenses (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed the Fund's expense limit in place when such amounts were waived or reimbursed by the Adviser and the Fund's current expense limitation.

As of December 31, 2022, the Adviser may seek recoupment of previously waived fees and reimbursed expenses as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Fund** | **Expires on<br> or before<br> December 31, 2025** | **Total** |
| Dividend Select ETF | $64225 | $64225 |
| Strategic Income Opportunities ETF | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;98127 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;98127 |
| Ultra Short Income ETF | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;79410 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;79410 |
| US Large Cap Focused ETF | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;76391 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;76391 |

---

The Adviser did not recoup any amounts it previously waived or reimbursed during the period ended December 31, 2022.

#### ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT
The Adviser entered into an Administration Agreement with the Trust, whereby the Adviser is responsible for: supplying executive and regulatory compliance services; supervising the preparation of tax returns; coordinating the preparation of reports to shareholders and reports to and filings with the SEC and state securities authorities, as well as materials for meetings of the Board; calculating the daily NAV per share; and maintaining the financial books and records of each Fund.

For its services, the Adviser's annual administrative fee is:

0.145% on the first $20 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets;

0.11% on the next $10 billion of aggregate average daily net assets;

0.09% on the next $10 billion of aggregate average daily net assets; and

0.07% on the aggregate average daily net assets over $40 billion.

The fee is computed and allocated among the Touchstone Fund Complex on the basis of relative daily net assets.

The Adviser has engaged BNY Mellon as the Sub-Administrator to the Trust. BNY Mellon provides administrative and accounting services to the Trust and is compensated directly by the Adviser, not the Trust.

#### TRANSFER AGENT AGREEMENT
Under the terms of the Transfer Agent Agreement between the Trust and BNY Mellon, BNY Mellon provides the Trust with transfer agency services, which include Creation Unit order processing. For these services, BNY Mellon receives a monthly fee from each Fund. In addition, each Fund pays out-of-pocket expenses incurred by BNY Mellon, including, but not limited to, postage and supplies.

#### CUSTODIAN AGREEMENT
As custodian, BNY Mellon is responsible for custody of each Fund's assets.

#### SECURITIES LENDING AGREEMENT
As securities lending agent, BNY Mellon administers the securities lending program for the Funds. BNY Mellon lends certain securities, which are held in custody accounts maintained with BNY Mellon, to borrowers that have been approved by the Funds.

#### PLANS OF DISTRIBUTION
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The plan allows each Fund to pay distribution fees up to a maximum of 0.25% of average daily net assets. No such fee is currently incurred and paid by the Funds. The Funds will not incur and pay distribution fees until such time as approved by the Fund's Board.

#### DISTRIBUTOR
Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the "Distributor") will serve as the principal distributor of the Fund's shares. The Adviser has agreed to compensate the Distributor for distribution-related services.

#### INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS
Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Funds may engage in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common Officers. During the period ended December 31, 2022, the Funds did not engage in any Rule 17a-7 transactions.

5. Fund Share Transactions

Shares of each Fund are issued and redeemed only in Creation Units. Investors may acquire shares and shareholders may tender their shares for redemption only in Creation Units. The number of shares of a Fund that constitute a Creation Unit is as follows: 25,000 for the Dividend Select ETF, Strategic Income Opportunities ETF and US Large Cap Focused ETF and 50,000 for the Ultra Short Income ETF. Each Fund generally offers and issues shares either in exchange for (i) a basket of securities designated by the Fund ("Deposit Securities") together with the deposit of a specified cash payment ("Cash Component") or (ii) a cash payment equal in value to the Deposit Securities ("Deposit Cash") together with the Cash Component. Transactions in capital shares of the Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. Authorized Participants are subject to standard creation and redemption transaction fees to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

6. Liquidity

**Interfund Lending — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC on March 28, 2017, the Funds, along with certain other funds in the Touchstone Fund Complex, may participate in an interfund lending program. The interfund lending program provides an alternate credit facility that allows the Funds to lend to or borrow from other participating funds in the Touchstone Fund Complex, subject to the conditions of the Exemptive Order. The Funds may not borrow under the facility for leverage purposes and the loans' duration may be no more than 7 days.**

During the period ended December 31, 2022, the Funds did not utilize Interfund Lending.

7. Federal Tax Information

**Federal Income Tax — It is each Fund's policy to continue to comply with the special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. As provided therein, in any fiscal year in which a Fund so qualifies and distributes at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, the Fund (but not the shareholders) will be relieved of federal income tax on the income distributed. It is each Fund's policy to distribute all of its taxable income and accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made.**

In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also each Fund's intention to declare and pay as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its investment company taxable income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ending October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

| Total distributions | $183700 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$1908028 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$686340 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$58353 |

The following information is computed on a tax basis for each item as of December 31, 2022:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Touchstone<br> Dividend<br> Select<br> ETF** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Touchstone<br> Strategic<br> Income<br> Opportunities<br> ETF** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Touchstone<br> Ultra<br> Short<br> Income<br> ETF** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Touchstone<br> US<br> Large<br> Cap<br> Focused<br> ETF** |

| Gross unrealized depreciation on investments | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(973461) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3302087) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(424107) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2024398) |
| Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;359868 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2158982) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(335160) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(921831) |

| Undistributed ordinary income | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;515 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24835 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;54463 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;639 |
| Accumulated earnings (deficit) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$305879 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$(2134147) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$(280697) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$(1032855) |

---

The difference between the tax cost of portfolio investments and the financial statement cost is primarily due to wash sale loss deferrals and taxable interest on defaulted securities.

As of December 31, 2022, the Funds had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Fund** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**No Expiration<br> Short Term** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**No Expiration<br> Long Term** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Total** |
| Dividend Select ETF | &nbsp;&nbsp;$54504 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$— | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$54504 |
| US Large Cap Focused ETF | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;111663 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;— | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;111663 |

---

The capital loss carryforwards may be utilized in future years to offset net realized capital gains, if any, prior to distributing such gains to shareholders.

The Funds recognize tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only when the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the previous three tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements and does not expect this to change over the next twelve months. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in the Statements of Operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Certain reclassifications, the result of permanent differences between financial statement and income tax reporting requirements, have been made to the components of capital as presented on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. These reclassifications have no impact on the net assets or NAV per share of the Funds. The following reclassifications, which are primarily attributed to the tax treatment of net operating losses, in-kind distributions for shareholder redemptions and reclassification of REIT distribution - ordinary income to capital gains have been made to the following Funds for the period ended December 31, 2022:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Fund** | **Paid-In<br> Capital** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Distributable<br> Earnings** |
| Dividend Select ETF | $329192 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$(329192) |
| US Large Cap Focused ETF | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;251613 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(251613) |

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

8. Commitments and Contingencies

The Funds indemnify the Trust's officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds.

9. Principal Risks

**Risks Associated with Foreign Investments – The Funds may invest in the securities of foreign issuers. Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the U.S. may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitations on the removal of funds or other assets of a Fund, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Political and military events, including in China, North Korea, Venezuela, Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Syria, and other areas of the Middle East, and nationalist unrest in Europe and South America, may cause market disruptions. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the U.S., and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers, and issuers than in the U.S.**

**Risks Associated with Sector Concentration – Certain Funds may invest a high percentage of their assets in specific sectors of the market in order to achieve a potentially greater investment return. As a result, these Funds may be more susceptible to economic, political, and regulatory developments in a particular sector of the market, positive or negative, and may experience increased volatility in the Funds' NAVs and magnified effect on the total return.**

**Risks Associated with Credit – An issuer may be unable to make timely payments of either principal or interest. This may cause the issuer's securities to decline in value. Credit risk is particularly relevant to those Funds that invest a significant amount of their assets in junk bonds or lower-rated securities.**

**Risks Associated with Cyber Security - With the increased use of technologies, such as mobile devices and "cloud"-based service offerings and the dependence on the Internet and computer systems to perform necessary business functions, the Funds' service providers are susceptible to cyber security risks that could result in losses to a Fund and its shareholders. Cyber security breaches are either intentional or unintentional events that allow an unauthorized party to gain access to Fund assets, customer data, or proprietary information, or cause a Fund or Fund service provider to suffer data corruption or lose operational functionality. A cyber security breach could result in the loss or theft of customer data or funds, loss or theft of proprietary information or corporate data, physical damage to a computer or network system, or costs associated with system repairs, any of which could have a substantial impact on a Fund. Cyber security incidents could cause a Fund, the Adviser, a Sub-Adviser, or other service provider to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, compliance costs associated with corrective measures, litigation costs, or financial loss. They may also result in violations of applicable privacy and other laws. In addition, such incidents could affect issuers in which a Fund invests, thereby causing the Fund's investments to lose value.**

**Risks Associated with Interest Rate Changes – The price of debt securities is generally linked to the prevailing market interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, the price of debt securities falls, and when interest rates fall, the price of debt securities rises. The price volatility of a debt security also depends on its maturity. Longer-term securities are generally more volatile, so the longer the average maturity or duration of these securities, the greater their price risk. Duration is a measure of the expected life, taking into account any prepayment or call features of the security, that is used to determine the price sensitivity of the security for a given change in interest rates. Specifically, duration is the change in the value of a fixed-income security that will result from a 1% change in interest rates, and generally is stated in years. For example, as a general rule a 1% rise in interest rates means a 1% fall in value for every year of duration. Maturity, on the other hand, is the date on which a fixed-income security becomes due for payment of principal. An increase in interest rates could negatively impact a Fund's NAV. Recent and potential future changes in government monetary policy may affect interest rates. As the U.S. Federal Reserve "tapers" or reduces the amount of securities it purchases pursuant to its quantitative easing program, and/or raises the federal funds target rate, there is a heightened risk that interest rates will rise, which could expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility and could cause the value of a Fund's investments, and the Fund's NAV, to decline, potentially suddenly and significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund's performance.**

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

**Risks Associated with Health Crises – A widespread health crisis such as a global pandemic could cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, which may lead to less liquidity in certain instruments, industries, sectors or the markets generally, and may ultimately affect Fund performance. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted and may continue to result in significant disruptions to global business activity and market volatility due to disruptions in market access, resource availability, facilities operations, imposition of tariffs, export controls and supply chain disruption, among others. The impact of a health crisis and other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future, could affect the global economy in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen at the present time. A health crisis may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks. Any such impact could adversely affect a Fund's performance, resulting in losses to your investment.**

Please see the Funds' prospectus and statement of additional information for a complete discussion of these and other risks.

10. Subsequent Events

Subsequent events occurring after the date of this report have been evaluated for potential impact to this report through the date the financial statements were issued. There were no subsequent events that necessitated recognition or disclosure in the Funds' financial statements.

#### Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and others. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

#### Proxy Voting Guidelines and Proxy Voting Records
The Sub-Advisers are responsible for exercising the voting rights associated with the securities purchased and held by the Funds. A description of the policies and procedures that the Sub-Advisers use in fulfilling this responsibility is available as an appendix to the most recent Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained without charge by calling toll free 1.833.368.7383 or by visiting the Touchstone website at TouchstoneInvestments.com or on the Securities and Exchange Commission's (the "Commission") website sec.gov. Information regarding how those proxies were voted during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, which will be filed by August 31 of that year, is also available without charge by calling toll free 1.833.368.7383 or on the Commission's website at sec.gov.

#### Quarterly Portfolio Disclosure
Each Fund's holdings as of the end of the third month of every fiscal quarter will be disclosed on Form N-PORT within 60 days of the end of the fiscal quarter. The complete listing of each Fund's portfolio holdings is available on the Commission's website and will be made available to shareholders upon request by calling 1.833.368.7383.

#### Schedule of Shareholder Expenses
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees; shareholder servicing fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022).

#### Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class of a Fund in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period Ended December 31, 2022" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

#### Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line for each share class of a Fund in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account

balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of an ETF's Shares. Therefore, the second line for each share class of a Fund in the table below is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

#### Liquidity Risk Management
The Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRM Program") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Rule 22e-4 requires that each Fund adopt a program that is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds' liquidity risk, which is the risk that a Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors' interests in a Fund.

Assessment and management of a Fund's liquidity risk under the LRM Program takes into consideration certain factors, such as a Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, its short- and long-term cash-flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, and its cash and cash-equivalent holdings and access to other funding sources. As required by the rule, the LRM Program includes policies and procedures for classification of fund portfolio holdings in four liquidity categories, maintaining certain levels of highly liquid investments, and limiting holdings of illiquid investments. To the extent a Fund is classified as an "In-Kind ETF" under Rule 22e-4, the Fund is not required to include in the LRM Program policies and procedures relating to classification of portfolio holdings into four liquidity categories or establishment of a highly liquid investment minimum.

The Board of Trustees of the Trust approved the appointment of a LRM Program administrator responsible for administering the LRM Program and for carrying out the specific responsibilities set forth in the LRM Program, including reporting to the Board on at least an annual basis regarding the LRM Program's operation, its adequacy, and the effectiveness of its implementation for the past year (the "Program Administrator Report") on May 19, 2022.

#### Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreement Approval Disclosure
At a meeting held on May 19, 2022, the Board of Trustees (the "Board" or "Trustees") of the Touchstone ETF Trust (the "Trust"), and by a separate vote, the Independent Trustees of the Trust, initially approved an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Advisor with respect to the Touchstone Dividend Select ETF, Touchstone Strategic Income Opportunities ETF,

Touchstone US Large Cap Focused ETF and Touchstone Ultra Short Income ETF (together, the "Funds"), and also initially approved a Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Advisor and Fort Washington Investment Advisors, Inc. (the "Sub-Advisor") with respect to each of the Funds.

In determining whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Advisor furnished information necessary for a majority of the Independent Trustees to make the determination that the initial approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the initial approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements were in the best interests of each Fund and its respective shareholders. The information considered by the Board included: (1) a comparison of the Funds' proposed advisory fee, proposed sub-advisory fee and estimated total expense ratios with those of comparable funds; (2) performance information regarding the Sub-Advisor's strategies that the Advisor proposed the Sub-Advisor utilize in managing the Funds and comparable funds; (3) the Advisor's and its affiliates' estimated revenues and costs of providing services to the Funds; and (4) information about the Advisor's and Sub-Advisor's personnel.

Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements with management and with experienced independent legal counsel and received materials from such counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements with respect to the Funds. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements with independent legal counsel in a private session at which no representatives of management were present.

In approving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered various factors, among them: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Funds, including the personnel who would be providing such services; (2) the Advisor's anticipated compensation and profitability; (3) a comparison of estimated net expenses and relevant performance information; (4) anticipated economies of scale; and (5) the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board's analysis of these factors is set forth below. The Independent Trustees were advised by independent legal counsel throughout the process.

*Nature, Extent and Quality of Advisor Services. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Advisor, including the professional experience and qualifications of senior personnel. In evaluating the quality of services to be provided by the Advisor, the Board took into account its familiarity with the Advisor's senior management through Board meetings, discussions and reports during the preceding year. The Board also took into account the Advisor's compliance policies and procedures. The quality of administrative and other services provided to other funds managed by the Advisor, including the Advisor's role in coordinating the activities of those funds' other service providers, was also considered. The Board also considered the Advisor's relationship with its affiliates and the resources available to them, as well as any potential conflicts of interest.*

The Board discussed the Advisor's effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Sub-Advisor, an affiliate of the Advisor, and the Advisor's timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board considered the Advisor's process for monitoring the Sub-Advisor, which would include an examination of both qualitative and quantitative elements of the Sub-Advisor's organization, personnel, procedures, investment discipline, infrastructure and performance. The Board considered that the Advisor would conduct periodic compliance due diligence of the Sub-Advisor, during which the Advisor would examine a wide variety of factors, such as the financial condition of the Sub-Advisor, the quality of the Sub-Advisor's systems, the effectiveness of the Sub-Advisor's disaster recovery programs, trade allocation and execution procedures, compliance with the Sub-Advisor's policies and procedures, results of regulatory examinations and any other factors that might affect the quality of services to be provided by the Sub-Advisor to the Funds. The Board noted that the Advisor's compliance monitoring processes also would include quarterly reviews of compliance certifications, and that any issues arising from such certifications and the Advisor's compliance reviews of the Sub-Advisor would be reported to the Board.

The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Funds by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

*Advisor's Proposed Compensation and Anticipated Profitability. The Board took into consideration the financial condition and anticipated profitability of the Advisor and its affiliates (including the Sub-Advisor) and the anticipated direct and indirect benefits to be derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from the Advisor's relationship with the Funds. The Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and administrative fees and/or reimburse expenses in order to limit the Funds' net operating expenses for at least one year and would pay sub-advisory fees out of the advisory fees the Advisor would receive from the Funds. The Board reviewed the anticipated profitability of the Advisor's relationship with the Funds and also considered whether the Advisor has the financial wherewithal to provide a high level of services to the Funds, noting the ongoing commitment of the Advisor's parent company with respect to providing support and resources as needed. The Board also noted that the Advisor would derive benefits to its reputation and other benefits from its association with the Funds.*

Other Items (Unaudited) (Continued)

The Board recognized that the Advisor should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it would provide to the Funds and the entrepreneurial risk that it would assume as Advisor. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the Advisor's and its affiliates' level of profitability, if any, to be derived from their relationship with the Funds was reasonable and not excessive.

*Estimated Expenses and Performance. The Board compared each Fund's proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees and estimated total expense ratios with those of comparable funds. The Board took into account that the Advisor had contractually agreed to limit the Funds' net operating expenses for at least one year following the launch of the Funds.*

The Board also considered the effect of each Fund's potential growth and size on its performance and expenses. The Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses of each Fund in order to reduce the Fund's operating expenses to a targeted level. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees under the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund would be paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee it would receive from the respective Fund and considered the impact of such sub-advisory fees on the anticipated profitability of the Advisor. In reviewing the proposed total expense ratios and relevant performance information, the Board also took into account the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Funds by the Advisor and its affiliates.

The Board considered, among other data, the specific factors set forth below with respect to each Fund:

<u>Touchstone Dividend Select ETF</u>. The Fund's proposed maximum advisory fee and estimated net expense ratio (net of applicable expense waivers and reimbursements) were below the median and above the median, respectively, of its peer group. The Board noted that the strategy proposed to be employed by the Sub-Advisor to manage the Fund outperformed its benchmark and underperformed its peer group for the one-year period ended December 31, 2021.

<u>Touchstone Strategic Income Opportunities ETF</u>. The Fund's proposed maximum advisory fee and estimated net expense ratio (net of applicable expense waivers and reimbursements) were below the median and above the median, respectively, of its peer group. The Board noted that the strategy proposed to be employed by the Sub-Advisor to manage the Fund outperformed its benchmark, and peer group for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2021.

<u>Touchstone US Large Cap Focused ETF</u>. The Fund's proposed maximum advisory fee and estimated net expense ratio (net of applicable expense waivers and reimbursements) were above the median and at the median, respectively, of its peer group. The Board noted that the strategy proposed to be employed by the Sub-Advisor to manage the Fund underperformed its benchmark and outperformed its peer group for the one- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021.

<u>Touchstone Ultra Short Income ETF</u>. The Fund's proposed maximum advisory fee and estimated expense ratio (net of applicable expense waivers and reimbursements) were each above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the strategy proposed to be employed by the Sub-Advisor to manage the Fund outperformed its benchmark and peer group for the one-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2021.

*Potential Economies of Scale. The Board considered the effect of each Fund's potential growth and size on its performance and expenses. The Board took into account management's discussion of the Funds' advisory fee structure. The Board considered the proposed advisory fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement and possible economies of scale that might be realized if the assets of the Fund increase. The Board noted that the proposed advisory fee schedule for all but one of the Funds contained one or more breakpoints that would reduce the advisory fee rate on assets above a specified level as the Funds' assets increased and considered the necessity of adding breakpoints with respect to the one Fund that did not currently have any breakpoints in its proposed advisory fee schedule. The Board determined that adding breakpoints at specified levels to the proposed advisory fee schedule of that Fund was not appropriate at that time. The Board also noted that if the Funds' assets increase over time, the Funds might realize other economies of scale if assets increase proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board also considered the fact that, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the advisory fee payable to the Advisor by the Funds would be reduced by the total sub-advisory fee paid by the Advisor to the Funds' Sub-Advisor.*

*Conclusion. In considering the initial approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Trustees evaluated all information available to them. The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor, among others: (a) the Advisor demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor maintains an appropriate compliance program; and (c) each Fund's proposed advisory fee is reasonable relative to those of comparable funds and the services to be provided by the Advisor. Based on their conclusions, the Trustees determined with respect to the Funds that approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its respective shareholders.*

In initially approving the Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Fund, the Board considered various factors with respect to each Fund and the applicable Sub-Advisory Agreement, among them: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Fund,

including the personnel who would be providing such services; (2) the Sub-Advisor's proposed sub-advisory fee; (3) the performance of the Sub-Advisor's strategy that would be used in managing the Fund and that of comparable funds; (4) the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board's analysis of these factors is set forth below. The Independent Trustees were advised by independent legal counsel throughout the process.

*Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided; Investment Personnel. The Board considered information provided by the Advisor regarding the services to be provided by the Sub-Advisor. The Board noted the affiliation of the Sub-Advisor to the Advisor, noting any potential conflicts of interest. The Board also noted that, on a periodic basis, the Board meets with portfolio managers of the Sub-Advisor to discuss its respective performance and investment processes and strategies. The Board also considered the Sub-Advisor's level of knowledge and investment style. The Board reviewed the experience and credentials of the applicable investment personnel of the Sub-Advisor who would be responsible for managing the Funds. The Board noted that the portfolio managers who would manage each Fund would be the same portfolio managers who currently manage the comparable Touchstone Funds. The Board also noted its familiarity with the Sub-Advisor, as it serves as a sub-advisor to various Touchstone Funds. The Board also took into consideration that the Advisor was satisfied with the Sub-Advisor's in-house risk and compliance teams and its familiarity with the Sub-Advisor given its management of various Touchstone Funds.*

*Sub-Advisor's Proposed Compensation. The Board also took into consideration the financial condition of the Sub-Advisor and any indirect benefits to be derived by the Sub-Advisor and its affiliates from the Sub-Advisor's relationship with the Funds. In considering the anticipated profitability to the Sub-Advisor of its relationship with the Funds, the Board noted the proposed contractual undertaking of the Advisor to maintain expense limitations for the Funds and also noted that the sub-advisory fee under the Sub-Advisory Agreement would be paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that it would receive under the Investment Advisory Agreement. As a consequence, the anticipated profitability to the Sub-Advisor of its relationship with the Funds was not a substantial factor in the Board's deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in the Sub-Advisor's management of the Funds to be a substantial factor in its consideration, although the Board noted that the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule for each Fund contained one or more breakpoints that would reduce the sub-advisory fee rate on assets above a specified level as the Fund's assets increased.*

*Proposed Sub-Advisory Fees and Performance Information. The Board considered that the Fund would pay an advisory fee to the Advisor and that the Advisor would pay a sub-advisory fee to the Sub-Advisor out of the advisory fee it would receive from the Funds. The Board considered the amount to be retained by the Advisor and the sub-advisory fee to be paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to the various services to be provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that each Fund's proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the quality of services to be provided by the Sub-Advisor to the Fund and the other factors considered.*

As noted above, the Board considered the performance of the Sub-Advisor's strategies that would be used in managing the Funds and comparable funds. The Board also noted the Advisor's expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of the Trust's other sub-advisors. The Board was mindful of the Advisor's focus on the performance of sub-advisors and the Advisor's ways of addressing underperformance.

*Conclusion. In considering the initial approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements with respect to each Fund, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Sub-Advisory Agreements, among others: (a) the Sub-Advisor is qualified to manage each Fund's assets in accordance with the Fund's investment goals and policies; (b) the Sub-Advisor maintains an appropriate compliance program; (c) each Fund's proposed advisory and sub-advisory fee structure is reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor; and (d) the Sub-Advisor's proposed investment strategies are appropriate for pursuing the investment goals of the Funds. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund was in the best interests of the Fund and its respective shareholders.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Not applicable.

**Item 2. Code of Ethics.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The registrant, as of the end of the period covered by this report, has adopted a code of ethics that
applies to the registrant's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller,
or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) There have been no amendments, during the period covered by this report, to a provision of the code of
ethics that applies to the registrant's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or
controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third
party, and that relates to any element of the code of ethics description.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The registrant has not granted any waivers, including an implicit waiver, from a provision of the code
of ethics that applies to the registrant's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer
or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third
party, that relates to one or more of the items set forth in paragraph (b) of this item's instructions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Not applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) A copy of the code of ethics is attached hereto as Exhibit 13(a)(1).

**Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.**

The registrant's Board of Trustees has determined that the registrant has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Ms. Karen Carnahan is the registrant's audit committee financial expert and is an independent trustee within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

**Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.**

<u>Audit Fees</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Audit fees for Touchstone ETF Trust totaled $84,300 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, including
fees associated with the annual audits and filings of Form N-1A and Form N-CEN.

<u>Audit-Related Fees</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The aggregate fees billed in the last fiscal year for assurance
and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant's financial
statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item are $10,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The fees for
2022 relate to the initial seed audit.

<u>Tax Fees</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The aggregate fees billed in the last fiscal year for professional services rendered by the principal
accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning were $32,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The fees relate
to the preparation of federal income and excise tax returns, and review of capital gains distribution calculations.

<u>All Other Fees</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The aggregate fees billed in the last fiscal year for products and services provided by the principal
accountant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Item are $0 for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2022. (e)(1) Disclose the audit committee's pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

The Audit Committee's pre-approval policies describe the types of audit, audit-related, tax and other services that have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The pre-approval policies provide that annual audit service fees, tax services not specifically granted pre-approval, services exceeding pre-approved cost levels and other services that have not received general pre-approval will be subject to specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The pre-approval policies further provide that the Committee may grant general pre-approval to other audit services (statutory audits and services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings), audit-related services (accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as "audit services," assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities, agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures related to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under Form N-CSR), tax services that have historically been provided by the auditor that the Committee believes would not impair the independence of the auditor and are consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence and permissible non-audit services classified as "all other services" that are routine and recurring services.

(e)(2) All of the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of Item 4 were approved by the Audit Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant's engagement to audit the registrant's financial
statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time,
permanent employees was less than fifty percent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The aggregate non-audit fees for Touchstone ETF Trust and certain entities\*, totaled approximately $699,959
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

\* These include the advisers (excluding non-affiliated sub-advisers) and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the advisers that provides ongoing services to the registrant (Funds).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) The registrant's audit committee of the board of trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit
services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management
and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control
with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii)
of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Not applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Not applicable.

**Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.**

Not applicable.

**Item 6. Investments.**

Not applicable.

**Item 9. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers.**

**Item 11. Controls and Procedures.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The registrant's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar
functions, have concluded that the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c))) are effective, as of a date within 90 days of the

## Ex-99.Codeeth

**EX-99.CODE ETH**

**TOUCHSTONE STRATEGIC TRUST**

**TOUCHSTONE VARIABLE SERIES TRUST**

**TOUCHSTONE FUNDS GROUP TRUST**

**TOUCHSTONE ETF TRUST**

**CODE OF ETHICS**

**FOR**

**SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS**

**I.** **INTRODUCTION** 

The Board of Trustees of Touchstone Strategic Trust, Touchstone Variable Series Trust, Touchstone Funds Group Trust and Touchstone ETF Trust (the "Trusts") has adopted this code of ethics (the "Code"), as amended, applicable to its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (the "Covered Officers") to promote:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical
handling of conflicts of interest;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable
disclosure;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Compliance with applicable laws and governmental
rules and regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The prompt internal reporting to an appropriate
person or persons identified in the Code for violations of the Code; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Accountability for adherence to the Code.

**II.** **COVERED OFFICERS SHOULD ACT HONESTLY AND CANDIDLY** 

Each Covered Officer owes a duty to the Trusts to act with integrity. Integrity requires, among other things, being honest and candid. Deceit and subordination of principle are inconsistent with integrity.

Each Covered Officer must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Act with integrity, including being honest and
candid while still maintaining the confidentiality of information where required by law or the Trusts' policies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Observe both the form and spirit of laws and
governmental rules and regulations, accounting standards and the Trusts policies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Adhere to a high standard of business ethics;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Place the interests of the Trusts before the Covered Officer's own
personal interests.

All activities of Covered Officers should be guided by and adhere to these fiduciary standards.

**III.** **COVERED OFFICERS SHOULD HANDLE ETHICALLY ACTUAL AND APRARENT CONFLICTS OF INTEREST** 

GUIDING PRINCIPLES: A "conflict of interest" occurs when an individual's personal interest interferes with the interest of the Trusts. A conflict of interest can arise when a Covered Officer takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform the Trusts' work objectively and effectively. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position with the Trusts. In addition, investment companies should be sensitive to situations that create apparent, not actual, conflicts of interest. Service to the Trusts should never be subordinated to gain a personal advantage.

Certain conflicts of interest covered by this Code arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Trusts that already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940, (the "1940 Act"), and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, each as amended. For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Trusts because of their status as "affiliated persons" of the Trusts. Therefore, as to the existing statutory and regulatory prohibitions on individual behavior they will be deemed to be incorporated in this Code and therefore any such violation will also be deemed a violation of the Code. Covered Officers must in all cases comply with applicable statutes and regulations.

As to conflicts arising from, or as a result of the contract relationship between, the Trusts, Touchstone Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor"), the Trusts' investment adviser, and Touchstone Securities, Inc. (the "Distributor"), the Trusts' distributor, of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees, it is recognized by the Board that, subject to the Advisor's fiduciary duties to the Trusts, the Covered Officers will in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Trusts or for the Advisor, or for both) be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions which will have different effects on the Advisor and the Trusts. The Board recognizes that the participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Trusts and the Advisor and is consistent with the expectation of the Board of the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Trusts.

Each Covered Officer must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Avoid conflicts of interest wherever possible;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Handle any actual or apparent conflict of interest
ethically;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Not use his or her personal influence or personal
relationships to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by a Trust whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally
to the detriment of the Trust;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Not cause a Trust to take action, or fail to
take action, for the personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit such Trust;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Not use knowledge of portfolio transactions made
or contemplated for a Trust to profit or cause others to profit, by the market effect of such transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· As described in more detail below, discuss any
material transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest with the Trusts' Compliance
Officer; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Report at least annually any affiliations or
other relationships related to conflicts of interest that the Trusts' Directors and Officers Questionnaire covers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The receipt of any entertainment from any company
with which the Trusts have current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business related, reasonable in cost,
appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Being in the position of supervision, reviewing
or having any influence on the job evaluation, pay or benefit of any immediate family member;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Any ownership interest in, or any consulting
or employment relationship with, any of the Trusts' service providers, other than the Advisor and Distributor; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A direct or indirect financial interest in commissions,
transaction charges or spreads paid by the Trusts for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an
interest arising from the Covered Officer's employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

**IV.** **DISCLOSURE** 

Each Covered Officer is required to be familiar, and comply, with the Trusts' disclosure controls and procedures so that the Trusts' subject reports and documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") comply in all material respects with the applicable federal securities laws and SEC rules. In addition, each Covered Officer having direct or supervisory authority regarding these SEC filings or the Trusts' other public communications should, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of responsibility, consult with other Trust officers and employees and take other appropriate steps regarding these disclosures with the goal of making full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure.

Each Covered Officer must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure
requirements applicable to the Trusts as well as the business and financial operations of the Trusts; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to
misrepresent, facts about the Trusts to others, whether within or outside the Trusts, including to the Trusts' internal auditors,
independent directors, independent auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations.

**V.** **COMPLIANCE** 

It is the Trusts' policy to comply with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations. It is the personal responsibility of each Covered Officer to adhere to the standards and restrictions imposed by those laws, rules, and regulations, including those relating to affiliated transactions, accounting, and auditing matters.

**VI.** **REPORTING AND ACCOUNTABILITY** 

Each Covered Officer must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Upon receipt of this Code, sign and submit to
the Trusts' Chief Compliance Officer an acknowledgment stating that he or she has received, read, and understands the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Annually thereafter submit a form to the Trusts'
Chief Compliance Officer confirming that he or she has received, read, and understands the Code, and has complied with the requirements
of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Not retaliate against any employee or Covered
Officer for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Notify the Trusts' Chief Compliance Officer
promptly if he or she becomes aware of any existing or potential violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this
Code.

Except as described otherwise below, the Trusts' Chief Compliance Officer is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented to it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. The Trusts' Chief Compliance Officer shall take all action he or she considers appropriate to investigate any actual or potential violations reported to him or her.

The Trusts' Chief Compliance Officer is authorized and encouraged to consult, as appropriate, with the Audit Committee (the "Committee") and the Independent Trustees.

The Committee is responsible for granting waivers and determining sanctions, as appropriate. In addition, approvals, interpretations, or waivers sought by the Principal Executive Officer will be considered by the Committee.

The Trusts will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code, and in reporting on the Code:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Trusts' Chief Compliance Officer will take all appropriate action
to investigate any violations reported to him or her;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Violations and potential violations will be reported to the Committee after
such investigation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· If the Committee determines that a violation
occurred, it will inform the Board of Trustees who will take all appropriate disciplinary or preventive action;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Appropriate disciplinary or preventive action
may include a letter of censure, suspension, dismissal or, in the event of criminal or other serious violations of law, notification of
the SEC or other appropriate law enforcement authorities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Any changes to or waivers of this Code will,
to the extent required, be disclosed on Form N-CSR as provided by SEC Rules.

**VII.** **OTHER POLICIES AND PROCEDURES** 

The Trusts' code of ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act are separate requirements applying to Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

**VIII.** **AMENDMENTS** 

This Code may not be amended except in written form, which is specifically approved by a majority vote of the Board of Trustees, including a majority of Independent Trustees.

**IX.** **CONFIDENTIALITY** 

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code shall be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the members of Board of Trustees and their counsel.

**X.** **INTERNAL USE** 

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Trusts and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of the Trusts, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
