⚡ Quantum Brief
The fund outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index in Q4 2025, driven by strategic investments in undervalued, high-quality securities amid a muted macroeconomic environment due to a government shutdown. Its portfolio focuses on Agency SF MBS, primarily conventional 30-year maturities with coupons ranging from 3% to 6%, reflecting a preference for structured, lower-risk government-backed assets. Risk levels remain average to above-average, per the fund’s assessment, citing persistent macroeconomic uncertainties despite reduced volatility from the shutdown’s impact on data releases. The fund employs an active management strategy, targeting total return by identifying undervalued sectors and securities with favorable risk-reward profiles, often leveraging government-backed instruments. Touchstone’s approach combines institutional asset managers with rigorous portfolio construction, blending active and passive strategies to optimize performance in dynamic market conditions.
