C000014702 Investment Objective and Strategy
NVIT International Equity Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Nationwide Variable Insurance Trust.
Investment objective
The NVIT International Equity Fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of companies located in Europe, Australasia, the Far East and other regions, including developing countries.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund invests primarily in equity securities issued by companies of any size, including smaller companies, that are located in, that derive at least 50% of their earnings or revenues from, or that maintain at least 50% of their assets in, countries around the world other than the United States. Some of these countries may be considered to be emerging market countries. Emerging market countries typically are developing and low- or middle-income countries, and may be found in regions such as Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Many securities in which the Fund invests are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities. Equity securities represent an ownership interest in the issuer.
Equity securities include common stock, preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock, or securities or other instruments with prices linked to the value of common stock. The Fund invests in companies that exhibit characteristics consistent with either a growth style or a value style of investing. In other words, the Fund targets companies whose earnings are expected to grow consistently faster than those of other companies, but also targets companies that the subadviser believes to be undervalued in the marketplace compared to their intrinsic value. Stocks are selected for the portfolio from an investment universe of approximately 8,900 developed- and emerging-market stocks using an active, quantitatively based investment process that evaluates each company on a daily basis relative to global peers.
Each company in the investible universe is measured daily in terms of its growth potential, valuation, market sentiment, and financial quality. The Funds subadviser may consider selling a security for several reasons, including when (1) its price changes such that the subadviser believes it has become too expensive, (2) the original investment thesis for the company is no longer valid, or (3) a more compelling investment opportunity is identified.
