C000014752 Investment Objective and Strategy
BlackRock NVIT Equity Dividend 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 BlackRock Equity Dividend Funds investment objective is to seek capital growth and income through investments in equity securities, including common stocks and securities convertible into common stocks.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities and at least 80% of its net assets in dividend-paying securities. For these purposes, 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. Dividends constitute a distribution of a companys earnings to shareholders. The Fund may invest in securities of companies with any market capitalization, but will generally focus on large-cap securities. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in securities of foreign issuers.
The Fund may invest in securities from any country. The Fund may invest in securities denominated either in U.S. dollars or the local currencies of their issuers. The Fund may have significant investments in particular sectors. The subadviser chooses investments for the Fund that the subadviser believes will both increase in value over the long-term and provide current income, focusing on investments that will do both instead of those that will favor current income over capital appreciation. In selecting portfolio securities, the subadviser will generally employ a value style, but may purchase equity securities based on a growth style when such securities pay dividends or the subadviser believes such securities have particularly good prospects for capital appreciation.
