C000033510 Investment Objective and Strategy
NVIT Small Cap Index 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 Index Fund seeks to match the performance of the Russell 2000 Index (Russell 2000 Index) as closely as possible before the deduction of Fund expenses.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund employs a passive management, or indexing, approach, which seeks to match approximately the performance of the Russell 2000 Index before the deduction of Fund expenses. The Russell 2000 Index is composed of equity securities of approximately 2,000 smaller U.S. companies in a wide range of businesses. To the extent that the Russell 2000 Index emphasizes certain sectors, the Fund will likely similarly emphasize any such sectors. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in a statistically selected sampling of securities of companies included in the Russell 2000 Index. The Fund does not necessarily invest in all of the securities included in the Russell 2000 Index or in the same weightings. The Fund intends to be diversified in approximately the same proportion as the Russell 2000 Index is diversified.
The Fund may become nondiversified, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act, as amended (the 1940 Act), solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Russell 2000 Index. A nondiversified fund generally invests a greater proportion of its assets in the securities of one or more issuers and invests overall in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. Shareholder approval will not be sought if the Fund becomes nondiversified due solely to a change in the relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Russell 2000 Index.
