Attention: Mutual Fund Operations
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Custody Agreement (the "Agreement") dated November 16,
1990 and amended December 21, 1990 and May 3, 1993 by and between Midwest
Strategic Trust, thereafter renamed Touchstone Strategic Trust (the "Trust"),
acting with respect to its series, the Utility Fund and the Equity Fund and The
Fifth Third Bank (the "Custodian").
This letter serves to advise that the Trust has established a new series of
shares, designated the "Enhanced 30 Fund" and desires that the Fund's Securities
and cash be administered by the Custodian. The Trust therefore requests that the
Agreement be amended in order to add the Enhanced 30 Fund as a Fund subject to
the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
This letter shall have the status as an amendment to the Agreement and shall be
effective as of May 1, 2000.
Very truly yours,
TOUCHSTONE STRATEGIC TRUST
