NVIT Multi-Manager Small Cap Value 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 Small Cap Value Fund seeks capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities (primarily common stocks) issued by small-cap companies. For these purposes, small-cap companies are those with market capitalizations within the range of the Russell 2000 Index. The Fund invests primarily in value stocks, which are stocks that may be trading at prices that do not reflect a companys intrinsic value, based on such factors as a companys stock price relative to its book value, earnings and cash flow. The Fund may invest in real estate securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs), and may invest up to 20% of its total assets in equity securities of foreign companies. The subadviser invests in stocks using a dynamic, multidimensional investment process that combines human insight and intuition, finance and behavioral theory, and quantitative and statistical techniques.
The subadvisers security evaluation process focuses on modeling a large number of stocks and proprietary factors, using financial statements, security analyst forecasts, corporate management signals, economic releases, and security prices. This investment approach is intended to seek diversification across market inefficiencies, securities, industries, and sectors, while managing known risk exposures relative to the Russell 2000 Value Index. The range of models is designed to allow the portfolio to be diversified across exposures to numerous potential opportunities. Nevertheless, the Fund may invest in any economic sector and, at times, emphasize one or more particular industries or sectors. The subadviser generally considers selling a stock when the return prediction generated by its models, adjusted for risk and expected transaction costs, is notably surpassed by another stocks return prediction.
Partial sales may occur when the subadvisers investment process determines that these transactions could benefit portfolio performance or when, as a result of market action, a position has grown to a size that impinges on portfolio risk or liquidity limitations. Sales may also occur under special circumstances; for example, if a company agrees to be acquired, and trades as a merger arbitrage situation, its stock may be sold. Sales can be triggered when necessary valuation data are no longer available; for example, if all security analysts drop coverage of a stock, the position may be sold. Also, a position may be trimmed or closed as a result of the subadviser's compliance monitoring process if, for example, a security or sector weight exceeds a relevant guideline.
