C000014743 Investment Objective and Strategy
NVIT Multi-Manager Small Company 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 Multi-Manager Small Company Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of small-cap companies. For these purposes, small-cap companies are those with market capitalizations similar to those of companies included in the Russell 2000 Index. Some of these companies may be considered to be unseasoned, which are companies that have been in operation for less than three years, including the operations of any predecessors. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in securities of foreign companies, including those that are located in emerging market countries. Foreign small-cap companies are those whose market capitalizations are similar to those companies listed in the MSCI Developed Countries, Europe, Australasia and Far East (EAFE) Small Cap Index. It also may invest without limit in initial public offerings (IPOs) of small-cap companies to capitalize on the opportunity for growth.
It may invest in any economic sector and, at times, emphasize one or more particular industries or sectors. The Fund generally considers selling a security when it no longer satisfies investment criteria, no longer offers significant growth potential, reaches a target price, changes valuation, deteriorates in business quality, fails to perform as expected, or when other opportunities appear more attractive. The Fund consists of two portions managed by different subadvisers acting independently with respect to the assets of the Fund they manage. Nationwide Fund Advisors (NFA) is the Funds investment adviser and, subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees of Nationwide Variable Insurance Trust (the Trust), selects the Funds subadvisers and monitors their performance on an ongoing basis.
NFA also determines the amount of Fund assets to allocate to each subadviser. NFA has chosen the Funds current subadvisers because they approach investing in small-cap stocks in a different manner from each other. For example, one subadviser looks for companies it believes have high growth potential based on fundamental analysis, while the other subadviser invests in small-cap value stocks using a multidimensional investment process that combines finance and behavioral theory and quantitative and statistical methods. In allocating assets between the subadvisers, NFA seeks to increase diversification among securities and investment styles in order to potentially increase the possibility for investment return and reduce risk and volatility.
