Touchstone Anti-Benchmark US Core Equity Fund - A (TDEAX) is an actively managed equity fund that aims to outperform traditional benchmarks by employing a unique investment strategy focused on core U.S. equities. The fund's competitive position is bolstered by its anti-benchmark approach, which allows it to capitalize on market inefficiencies and sector rotations, particularly in large-cap growth and value stocks.
The fund generates revenue primarily through management fees based on AUM, which is influenced by both the fund's performance and investor inflows.
