C000056372 Investment Objective and Strategy

Nationwide U.S. Small Cap Value Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Nationwide Mutual Funds.

Investment objective

The Nationwide U.S. Small Cap Value Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Principal investment strategy

The Fund is designed to capture the returns and diversification benefits associated with equity securities of a broad and diverse cross-section of small-cap companies in the United States. The subadviser uses a market capitalization-weighted approach to invest in companies that generally are smaller than the 500 th largest U.S. company. While the companies in which the Fund invests may vary in capitalization sizes under $11 billion, under normal circumstances, the Fund will: hold at least 80% of the value of its net assets in common stocks of U.S. companies that have market capitalizations similar to those of companies included in the Russell 2000 Index (a measure of the performance of small-cap stocks) and maintain an average portfolio market capitalization that is within the range of companies included in the Russell 2000 Value Index (a measure of the performance of small-cap stocks that meet the criteria for value investing).

In general, the higher the relative market capitalization of the eligible company, the greater its representation in the Funds portfolio. The Fund buys value stocks, which are stocks of companies that the subadviser has determined primarily to have high book values (i.e., values based on their respective assets minus their liabilities, as reflected on their balance sheets) in relation to the prices at which their stocks trade in the market. Companies issuing such securities may be currently out of favor, undervalued due to market declines, or experiencing poor operating conditions that may be temporary. While the Fund may sell securities that do not meet the subadvisers value criteria, the Fund is not required to sell a security even if a decline in the issuers market capitalization reflects a serious financial difficulty or potential or actual insolvency.

The Fund is designed for long-term investors with a focus on investment in the range of small-cap companies, as opposed to individual stock selection.
