Our read on TUSI
CTouchstone's answer to parking cash: a diversified ultra-short bond portfolio benchmarked to 3-month T-bills, paying monthly. The trade-off is price. At 0.52% a year, it costs well above the ultra-short norm.
The Fund seeks maximum total return while preserving capital. It invests at least 80% of assets in fixed-income securities and uses a diversified portfolio spanning different maturities and instruments.
Why people hold it
- Does what the prospectus says: at least 80% in fixed income, spread across maturities and instrument types, with capital preservation written into the objective.
- Pays monthly, so income arrives on a cash-flow rhythm instead of quarterly.
- Clean yardstick: it measures itself against the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, so sizing up the manager's work takes one comparison.
Worth knowing
- Cost is the sticking point: 0.52% a year, next to 0.10% at VUSB and 0.15% at SHV and PULS. In ultra-short bonds, the fee is a large slice of the whole result.
- Preserving capital is the stated goal, not a promise. A diversified bond sleeve carries credit and rate risk that a pure Treasury bill fund does not.
- Sits in the lower half of its ultra-short bond peer group, and the gap is mostly about price rather than how the portfolio is run.
