Touchstone Investments Chooses Bloomberg Equity Indices to Support Active Strategies

NEW YORK, June 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bloomberg Indices today announced that Touchstone Investments, an asset manager known for its Distinctively Active® mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs) has adopted Bloomberg Equity Indices as the new benchmarks for their fund offerings. With approximately $30 billion in assets under management, the firm offers actively-managed funds across asset classes and strategies, partnering with institutional asset managers who serve as sub-advisors.

Touchstone is now utilizing the Bloomberg US Domestic & US Domestic Style Indices, as well as several global benchmarks, including the Bloomberg World ex US Large & Mid Cap Total Return Index (WORLDXU), Bloomberg Emerging Markets Large & Mid Cap Total Return Index (EM), Bloomberg Emerging Markets ex China Large & Mid Cap Net Return Index (EMXCNN), and the Bloomberg Developed Markets ex N. America Large & Mid Cap Total Return Index (DXAP).

This adoption builds on Touchstone's existing use of Bloomberg Fixed Income Indices, enabling a more consistent, cross-asset benchmarking framework based on transparent, rules-based methodologies. Touchstone's work with Bloomberg Indices for both equities & fixed income strategies reflects continued US market demand for integrated, cross-asset index solutions to benchmark their strategies.

"At Touchstone, we are committed to providing investors with thoughtfully constructed solutions backed by rigorous manager selection and oversight," said Tim Paulin, Senior Vice President, Investments & Product Strategy at Touchstone Investments. "By expanding our relationship with Bloomberg to include equity indices, we're enhancing consistency across our platform with transparent, rules-based benchmarks that support portfolio evaluation and long-term investment decision-making."

"We're pleased to deepen our work with Touchstone Investments and support their mutual funds and ETFs with our comprehensive equity index offerings," said Mike Pruzinsky, Equity Index Product Manager, Bloomberg Index Services Limited. "As investment managers increasingly operate across both active and sub-advised models, consistent index methodologies and robust data infrastructure are critical for robust portfolio construction, performance measurement, and risk management. Bloomberg Indices is proud to offer leading benchmarks across asset classes to enable these workflows for the Touchstone team."

Bloomberg Equity Indices are a comprehensive set of global families covering over 99+% of the eligible free float market cap across more than 40 countries. Bloomberg Equity Indices are available in global, regional, country, and sector exposures, in various currencies and returns (price/total/net). The offering also includes traditional growth and value style indices, factor index strategies, thematics, ESG customization and additional bespoke capabilities for benchmarking, asset allocation, and product creation. Flagship equity benchmarks include the World, Developed Markets and Emerging Markets Large & Mid Cap Indices, as well as the Bloomberg 500 ® (B500) Index.
