Dear Fellow Shareholder:
As pleased overall as we are with our investment performance at Touchstone
during the past 6 months, we must be realistic. Over most of the century, for
example, the U.S. stock market has returned an average of 11% to 12% per year,
not per quarter. We encourage you to keep that in mind should the market regress
to its pattern of more moderate performance. But when will this happen?
The answer is, nobody really knows. And the only consensus seems to be that
there is no consensus. For example, are stock prices really too high? Or have
the old valuation rules outlived their usefulness? Is the Asian economic crisis
keeping global inflation in check and interest rates low? Or is it simply
waiting in the wings, ready to waylay corporate profitability?
Going forward, companies that can perform on their own merits will most
likely be the ones offering the best opportunities. Those are the kinds of
companies our portfolio managers are proud to find, one at a time, no matter how
the market's doing.
We're also proud to introduce a new addition to our family of Funds and
Variable Annuities: the Touchstone Value Plus Portfolios. These Portfolios,
managed by Fort Washington Investment Advisors, seek long-term capital growth by
investing primarily in large cap stocks that are considered fundamentally
undervalued. These are sound companies with unique competitive advantages and
proven management.
Our other outstanding portfolio managers also keep their ears to the
ground. They listen and watch for major forces that drive the markets, such as
corporate restructurings, the retirement plan revolution, the move to liquidity,
and the mainstreaming of technology -- forces that have made the U.S. the envy
of the global economy, and are now beginning to make their way overseas. Beyond
finding individual companies that may benefit from these forces, our job is to
look forward and see how Touchstone can best take advantage of these trends to
better serve you.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for the success we've shared
together. We appreciate your continued confidence and investment in the
Touchstone Family of Funds and Variable Annuities.(1)
Sincerely,
/s/ Edward G. Harness
Edward G. Harness
President and Chief Executive Officer

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Select Advisors Trust A (the "Trust") was organized as a Massachusetts
business trust on February 7, 1994, and is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end management
investment company.
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to issue an unlimited number of
full and fractional shares of beneficial interest of one or more series.
The Trust consists of eight funds: Touchstone Emerging Growth Fund A (the
"Emerging Growth Fund"), Touchstone International Equity Fund A (the
"International Equity Fund"), Touchstone Growth & Income Fund A (the "Growth &
Income Fund"), Touchstone Balanced Fund A (the "Balanced Fund"), Touchstone
Income Opportunity Fund A (the "Income Opportunity Fund"), Touchstone Bond Fund
A (the "Bond Fund"), Touchstone Value Plus Fund A (the "Value Plus Fund") (each,
a "Fund"), and Touchstone Standby Income Fund (the "Standby Income Fund"). The
Standby Income Fund is included in a separate annual report.
The Trust seeks to achieve the investment objectives of each Fund by
investing all the investable assets of the Fund in a corresponding Portfolio of
Select Advisors Portfolios (the "Portfolio Trust"), an open-end management
investment company. Each Portfolio has the same investment objectives as the
corresponding Fund. These Portfolios are, respectively, Emerging Growth
Portfolio, International Equity Portfolio, Growth & Income Portfolio, Balanced
Portfolio, Income Opportunity Portfolio, Bond Portfolio, and Value Plus
Portfolio.
The value of each Fund's investment in the corresponding Portfolio reflects
the Fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio at June 30,
1998.

Percentage interest in
corresponding Portfolio 73.4% 55.5% 39.2% 57.4% 62.8% 22.2% 99.0%
</TABLE>
The financial statements of each Portfolio, including the schedule of
investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in
conjunction with the corresponding Fund's financial statements.
As of June 30, 1998, Touchstone Advisors, Inc., a subsidiary of
Western-Southern Life Assurance Company ("Western-Southern"), and
Western-Southern, owned 31.2%, 57.1%, 33.6%, 40.8%, 21.0%, 24.8%, and 97.5% of
the Emerging Growth Fund, the International Equity Fund, the Growth & Income
Fund, the Balanced Fund, the Income Opportunity Fund, the Bond Fund, and the
Value Plus Fund, respectively.
The accounting policies are in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") for investment companies. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the related amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the
Funds:
a) Investment Valuation. Valuation of investments by each Portfolio is
discussed in Note 1 of the Portfolio Trust's Notes to Financial Statements which
are included elsewhere in this report.
b) Investment Income. Each Fund records its share of the corresponding
Portfolio's net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses
and adjusts its investment in the corresponding Portfolio each day. All the net
investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses of each Portfolio
are allocated among the corresponding Fund and the other investors in the
Portfolio at the time of such determination.
c) Dividends and Distributions. Substantially all of the net investment
income of the Growth & Income Fund, the Income Opportunity Fund and the Bond
Fund is declared as dividends and paid monthly.
8
<PAGE> 10
SELECT ADVISORS TRUST A
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substantially all of the net investment income of the Balanced Fund and the
Value Plus Fund are declared as dividends and paid quarterly. Substantially all
of the net investment income of the Emerging Growth Fund and the International
Equity Fund is declared as dividends and paid annually. Distributions to
shareholders of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid
annually. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date and are
reinvested at net asset value.
Income and realized capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassification, are primarily due to non-deductible organization costs,
passive foreign investment companies, foreign currency transactions, losses
deferred due to wash sales, and excise tax regulations.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Undistributed
net investment income and accumulated net realized gain or loss from the
Portfolios may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal
year end is distributed in the following year.
d) Organization Expense. Organization expenses were deferred and are
being amortized by each Fund on a straight-line basis over a five-year period
from commencement of operations. The amount paid by the Trust on any redemption
by Touchstone Advisors, Inc. or any other then-current holder of the
organizational seed capital shares ("Initial Shares") of the Fund will be
reduced by a portion of any unamortized organization expenses of the Fund and
the corresponding Portfolio, determined by the proportion of the number of the
Initial Shares of the Fund redeemed to the number of the Initial Shares of the
Fund then outstanding after taking into account any prior redemptions of the
Initial Shares of the Fund. The amount of such reduction in excess of the
unamortized organization expenses of the Fund, if any, shall be contributed by
the Fund to the corresponding Portfolio.
e) Federal Taxes. Each Fund of the Trust is treated as a separate entity
for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund's policy is to comply with the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to
regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its
income, and net realized capital gains, if any, within the prescribed time
periods. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. There
were no capital loss carryforwards at December 31, 1997 for any of the Funds.
At December 31, 1997, the following Funds had net capital losses
attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 1997, which are
treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year.
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Bond Fund $ 2,317
Balanced Fund 3,353
Income Opportunity Fund 240,465
International Equity Fund 6,353
</TABLE>
f) Expenses. Expenses incurred by the Trust with respect to any two or
more Funds in the Trust are prorated to each Fund in the Trust, except where
allocations of direct expenses to each Fund can otherwise be made fairly.
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
a) Distribution and Service Plan. Under the Trust's Distribution and
Service Plan in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Act, the Trust retains
Touchstone Securities, Inc. ("Distributor"), a subsidiary of Western-Southern,
as a service agent of the Trust and as the principal underwriter of the shares
of each Fund. Each fund will pay a service fee to the Distributor equal to, on
an annual basis, up to 0.25% of that Fund's average daily net assets. The
Distributor may also use the distribution fees received from each Fund to
otherwise promote the sale of shares of the Funds to other than current
shareholders and for sales literature or other promotional activities.
b) Sponsor. The Trust, on the behalf of each Fund, has entered into a
Sponsor Agreement with Touchstone Advisors, Inc. (the "Sponsor"), an affiliate
of the Distributor. The Sponsor provides oversight of the various service
providers to the Trust, including the Trust's administrator, custodian and
transfer

agent. The Sponsor receives a fee from each Fund equal on an annual basis to
0.20% of the average daily net assets of that Fund. The Sponsor has advised the
Trust that it will waive all fees under the Sponsor Agreement through December
31, 1998.
c) Trustees. Each Trustee who is not an "interested person" (as defined
by the Act) of the Trust receives an aggregate of $5,000 annually plus $1,000
per meeting attended, as well as reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses, from the Trust and from Select Advisors Trust C, Select Advisors
Portfolios, and Select Advisors Variable Insurance Trust, which are each
included in separate reports. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Trust,
not including the Standby Income Fund which is included in a separate report,
incurred $4,015 in Trustee fees which were prorated to each Fund in the Trust.
3. EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS
The Sponsor has agreed to reimburse each Fund so that, following such
reimbursement, the aggregate total operating expenses (excluding interest,
taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) of each Fund including
the Fund's proportionate share of expenses of the corresponding Portfolio are
not greater, on an annual basis, than the percentage of average daily net assets
of the Fund listed below for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Select Advisors Portfolios (the "Portfolio Trust") was organized as a New
York master trust fund on February 7, 1994 and is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end
management investment company. The Portfolio Trust consists of nine subtrusts
(each a "Portfolio"), each having distinct investment objectives and policies:
Emerging Growth Portfolio, International Equity Portfolio, Growth & Income
Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio, Income Opportunity Portfolio, Bond Portfolio,
Value Plus Portfolio, Bond Portfolio II and Growth & Income II. Bond Portfolio
II and Growth & Income II are included in a separate report.
The accounting policies are in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") for investment companies. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the related amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the
Portfolios:
a) Investment Valuation. Securities for which market quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price on a national securities
exchange, or, in the absence of recorded sales, at the readily available closing
bid price on such exchanges, or at the quoted bid price in the over-the-counter
market. Securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars
at the current exchange rate. Debt securities are valued by a pricing service
which determines valuations based upon market transactions for normal,
institutional-size trading units of similar securities. Securities or other
assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair
value in good faith under consistently applied procedures in accordance with
procedures established by the Trustees of the Portfolio Trust. Such procedures
include the use of independent pricing services, which use prices based upon
yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type;
indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. All
portfolio securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days are valued
at amortized cost, which approximates market.
b) Risks Associated with Foreign Investments. Some of the Portfolios may
invest in securities of foreign issuers. Investing in securities issued by
companies whose principal business activities are outside the United States may
involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example,
there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies,
particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of
the U.S. securities laws. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform
accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of
practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in
foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in
investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory
taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Portfolio,
political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which
could affect such investments. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume
and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United
States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in
developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of
comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental
supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers, and
issuers than in the United States.
c) Foreign Currency Translation. The accounting records of the Portfolios
are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market value of investment securities, other
assets and liabilities and forward contracts denominated in foreign currencies
are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates at the end of
the period. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts, and expense
payments are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates
of such transactions. Reported net realized gains and losses on foreign currency
transactions represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses
realized between the trade and
20
<PAGE> 34
SELECT ADVISORS PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the
amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually
received.
The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of
changes in market prices of these securities, but are included with net realized
and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
d) Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date
except that certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
has passed are recorded as soon as the Portfolio Trust is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes the amortization of premium
and accretion of discount, if any, is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend and
interest income is recorded net of foreign taxes where recovery of such taxes is
not assured.
e) Federal Taxes. Each Portfolio is treated as a partnership for federal
income tax purposes. As such, each investor in each Portfolio is subject to
taxation on its share of that Portfolio's ordinary income and capital gains.
Therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes. It is intended
that each Portfolio's assets will be managed in such a way that an investor in
the Portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
f) Forward Currency Contracts. Each Portfolio may enter into forward
foreign currency contracts to protect securities and related receivables and
payables against fluctuations in foreign currency rates. A forward contract is
an agreement to buy or sell currencies of different countries on a specified
future date at a specified rate.
Risks associated with such contracts include the movement in the value of
the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the
counterparty to perform. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with
changes in currency exchange rates. Contracts are valued daily based on
procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees of
the Portfolio Trust and the change in the market value is recorded by the
Portfolio as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of forward foreign currency
contracts. As of June 30, 1998, the following Funds had the following open
foreign currency contracts:

g) Repurchase Agreements. Each Portfolio may invest in repurchase
agreements, which are agreements pursuant to which securities are acquired by
the Portfolio from a third party with the commitment
21
<PAGE> 35
SELECT ADVISORS PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
that they will be repurchased by the seller at a fixed price on an agreed upon
date. Each Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with banks or lenders
meeting the creditworthiness standards established by the Portfolio Trust Board
of Trustees. The Portfolio, through its custodian, receives as collateral,
delivery of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at
least 102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. The resale price
reflects the purchase price plus an agreed upon rate of interest. In the event
of counterparty default the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to
offset losses incurred.
h) Organization Expense. Organization expenses were deferred and are
being amortized by each Portfolio on a straight-line basis over a five-year
period from commencement of operations. Any amount received by the Portfolio
from a corresponding Fund as a result of a redemption by Touchstone Advisors,
Inc. of any of its organizational seed capital shares of the Fund will be
applied so as to reduce the amount of unamortized organization expenses. The
amount paid by the Portfolio Trust on any withdrawal by the Select Advisors
Trust A or Select Advisors Trust C of all or a part of its organizational seed
capital investment ("Initial Interest") in the Portfolio will be reduced by a
portion of any unamortized organization expenses of the Portfolio, determined by
the proportion of the amount of the Initial Interest withdrawn to the aggregate
amount of the Initial Interests in the Portfolio then-outstanding after taking
into account any prior withdrawals of any portion of the Initial Interests in
the Portfolio.
i) Security Transactions. Securities transactions are recorded on a trade
date basis. For financial and tax reporting purposes, realized gains and losses
are determined on the basis of specific lot identification.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
a) Investment Advisor. The Portfolio Trust has an investment advisory
agreement with Touchstone Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") a subsidiary of
Western-Southern Life Assurance Company ("Western-Southern"). Under the terms of
the investment advisory agreement, each Portfolio pays an investment advisory
fee that is computed daily and paid monthly. For the six months ended June 30,
1998, each Portfolio incurred the following investment advisory fees equal on an
annual basis to the following percentages of the average daily net assets of the
Portfolio.

b) Trustees. Each Trustee who is not an "interested person", (as defined
in the Act), of the Portfolio Trust receives an aggregate of $5,000 annually
plus $1,000 per meeting attended as well as reimbursement for reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses from the Portfolio Trust and from Select Advisors Trust
A, Select Advisors Trust C, and Select Advisors Variable Insurance Trust, which
are included in separate annual reports. For the six months ended June 30, 1998
the Portfolio Trust incurred $6,377 in Trustee fees which was prorated to each
Portfolio.

SEMIANNUAL REPORT
JUNE 30, 1998
<PAGE> 40
Dear Fellow Shareholder:
As pleased overall as we are with our investment performance at Touchstone
during the past 6 months, we must be realistic. Over most of the century, for
example, the U.S. stock market has returned an average of 11% to 12% per year,
not per quarter. We encourage you to keep that in mind should the market regress
to its pattern of more moderate performance. But when will this happen?
The answer is, nobody really knows. And the only consensus seems to be that
there is no consensus. For example, are stock prices really too high? Or have
the old valuation rules outlived their usefulness? Is the Asian economic crisis
keeping global inflation in check and interest rates low? Or is it simply
waiting in the wings, ready to waylay corporate profitability?
Going forward, companies that can perform on their own merits will most
likely be the ones offering the best opportunities. Those are the kinds of
companies our portfolio managers are proud to find, one at a time, no matter how
the market's doing.
We're also proud to introduce a new addition to our family of Funds and
Variable Annuities: the Touchstone Value Plus Portfolios. These Portfolios,
managed by Fort Washington Investment Advisors, seek long-term capital growth by
investing primarily in large cap stocks that are considered fundamentally
undervalued. These are sound companies with unique competitive advantages and
proven management.
Our other outstanding portfolio managers also keep their ears to the
ground. They listen and watch for major forces that drive the markets, such as
corporate restructurings, the retirement plan revolution, the move to liquidity,
and the mainstreaming of technology -- forces that have made the U.S. the envy
of the global economy, and are now beginning to make their way overseas. Beyond
finding individual companies that may benefit from these forces, our job is to
look forward and see how Touchstone can best take advantage of these trends to
better serve you.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for the success we've shared
together. We appreciate your continued confidence and investment in the
Touchstone Family of Funds and Variable Annuities.(1)
Sincerely,
/s/ Edward G. Harness

TOUCHSTONE STANDBY INCOME FUND
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Touchstone Standby Income Fund, (the "Fund") is a series of Select Advisors
Trust A (the "Trust") which is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end management investment company and
which was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on February 7, 1994. The
Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to issue an unlimited number of shares of
beneficial interest in the Fund. At June 30, 1998, Western-Southern Life
Assurance Company ("Western-Southern") owned 56.5% of the Standby Income Fund.
The accounting policies are in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") for investment companies. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the related amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the
Fund:
a) Investment Valuation. Debt securities are valued by a pricing service
which determines valuations based upon market transactions for normal,
institutional-size trading units of similar securities. All portfolio securities
with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost.
b) Interest Income. Interest income, which includes the amortization of
premium and accretion of discount, if any, is recorded on an accrual basis.
c) Dividends and Distributions. Dividends are declared daily and paid
monthly. Distributions to shareholders of net realized capital gains, if any,
are declared and paid annually.
Income and realized gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences which may result in distribution
re-classifications are primarily due to non-deductible organization costs,
passive foreign investment companies, foreign currency transactions, losses
deferred due to wash sales, and excise tax regulations.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Undistributed
net investment income may include temporary book and tax basis differences which
will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at
fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
d) Organization Expense. Organization expenses were deferred and are
being amortized by the Fund on a straight-line basis over a five-year period
from commencement of operations. The amount paid by the Trust on any redemption
by Touchstone Advisors or any other then-current holder of the organizational
seed capital shares ("Initial Shares") of the Fund will be reduced by a portion
of any unamortized organization expenses of the Fund, determined by the
proportion of the number of the Initial Shares of the Fund redeemed to the
number of the Initial Shares of the Fund outstanding after taking into account
any prior redemptions of the Initial Shares of the Fund.
e) Federal Taxes. The Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal
income tax purposes. The Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute substantially all of its income, including net
realized capital gains, if any, within the prescribed time periods. Accordingly,
no provision for federal income tax is necessary. At December 31, 1997 the Fund
had capital loss carryforwards of $603 expiring in December 2003, and $41
expiring in December 2005.
Additionally, at December 31, 1997, the Fund has $3,193 of net capital
losses attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 1997,
which are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
f) Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements,
which are agreements pursuant to which securities are acquired by the Fund from
a third party with the commitment that they will be repurchased by the seller at
a fixed price on an agreed upon date. The Fund may enter into repurchase
agreements with banks or lenders meeting the creditworthiness standards
established by the Trust's Board of Trustees. The Fund, through its custodian,
receives as collateral delivery of the underlying securities, whose market value
is required to be at least 102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. The
resale price reflects the purchase price plus an agreed upon rate of interest.
g) Securities Transactions. Securities transactions are recorded on a
trade date basis. For financial and tax reporting purposes, realized gains and
losses are determined on the basis of specific lot identification.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
a) Investment Advisory Fees. The Trust has an investment advisory
agreement with Touchstone Advisors, Inc., a subsidiary of Western-Southern, (the
"Advisor"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays
a fee on an annual basis equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the
Fund. Fort Washington Investment Advisors, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, is
the sub-advisor for the Fund.
b) Sponsor. The Trust, on the behalf of the Fund, has entered into a
Sponsor Agreement with Touchstone Advisors, Inc. (the "Sponsor"). The Sponsor
provides oversight of the various service providers to the Trust, including the
Trust's administrator, custodian and transfer agent. The Sponsor receives a fee
from the Fund equal on an annual basis to 0.20% of the average daily net assets
of the Fund. The Sponsor has advised the Trust that it will waive all fees under
the Sponsor Agreement through December 31, 1998.
c) Trustees. Each Trustee who is not an "interested person" (as defined
by the Act), of the Trust receives an aggregate of $5,000 annually plus $1,000
per meeting attended, as well as reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses, from the Trust and from Select Advisors Trust C, Select Advisors
Portfolio, and Select Advisors Variable Insurance Trust, which are included in
separate reports. For the six months ended June 30, 1998 the Fund incurred $892
in Trustee fees.
3. EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS
The Advisor has agreed to reimburse the Fund so that, following such
reimbursement, the aggregate total operating expenses (excluding interest,
taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) of the Fund are not
greater, on an annual basis, than 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the
Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 1998 the Advisor reimbursed the Fund
$66,278.
4. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term
investments and U.S. government obligations) amounted to $9,217,808 and
$9,577,553, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
Purchases and sales of U.S. government obligations amounted to $2,548,467
and $2,448,447, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
