"Touchstone Balanced Fund outperformed in Q4 2025 through an active equity overweight and robust selection in tech and consumer sectors. The fund maintains a constructive but risk-aware posture for 2026, emphasizing quality and disciplined asset selection."
The Touchstone Balanced Fund outperformed its blended benchmark (60% Russell 1000 Index / 40% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) during Q4 2025. Outperformance was driven by a positive equity allocation effect (entering and ending the quarter with a 4% overweight to equities) and strong security selection, especially in Consumer Discretionary, Financials, and Communication Services. Overweights in Alphabet Inc. and Applied Materials Inc. were primary equity contributors, while the fund exited its position in RTX Corp. Within fixed income, positive active duration management and high-yield corporate allocations drove returns, offset slightly by weak securitized selection. Heading into 2026, the fund is targeting a marginal overweight to equities (64%), favoring high-quality businesses with strong pricing power and barriers to entry, while maintaining an underweight to Treasuries and overweight to credit and securitized products.
