C000203212 Investment Objective and Strategy

NVIT iShares Global Equity ETF 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 iShares Global Equity ETF Fund (Global Equity Fund or the Fund) seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Principal investment strategy

The Fund is a fund-of-funds that aims to provide diversification across traditional equity asset classes large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap stocks issued by both U.S. and foreign issuersby investing in a portfolio of unaffiliated exchange-traded funds (ETFs) sponsored by BlackRock Fund Advisors (or its affiliates) (BFA), most of which utilize a passive index-based strategy to track the performance of equity indexes (each, an Underlying Fund or collectively, Underlying Funds). Some indexes are designed to provide broader market exposure, while other indexes are designed to provide exposure to specific investment factors. Each Underlying Fund invests directly in equity securities, as appropriate to its investment objective and strategies. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities through its investments in ETFs.

For these purposes, equity securities represent an ownership interest in an issuer, such as (but not limited to) common stocks. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements to generate additional income. Securities in which the Underlying Funds invest are tied economically to a number of countries throughout the world, including the United States. An investment will be deemed to be tied economically to a particular country, including the United States, if its issuer is organized in the particular country, has its principal place of business in such country, generates more than 50% of its revenues from business in that country, or lists its stock on an exchange located in that country. Many foreign stocks are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. For most Underlying Funds, BFA uses a passive or indexing approach to try to achieve each such Underlying Funds investment objective.

This means that the Underlying Fund does not try to beat the index it tracks (the Underlying Index) and does not seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear overvalued. BFA uses a representative sampling indexing strategy to manage each such Underlying Fund, meaning that it invests in a representative sample of securities that collectively have an investment profile similar to that of the applicable Underlying Index. An Underlying Fund also may invest in securities not included in the Underlying Index which BFA believes may help such Underlying Fund to track its Underlying Index. The Underlying Funds that use an indexing approach will concentrate their investments in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent that the applicable Underlying Index is concentrated.

BFA believes that indexing may eliminate the chance that an Underlying Fund will substantially underperform its Underlying Index, but also may reduce some of the risks of active management, such as poor security selection. BFAs indexing approach seeks to achieve lower costs by keeping portfolio turnover low in comparison to actively managed mutual funds. One Underlying Fund is actively managed and does not use an indexing approach. It instead uses a proprietary model to dynamically allocate across different equity style factors such as value, quality, momentum, size, growth and minimum volatility. In order to provide the Fund with diversified investment exposure to various types of equity securities, the Funds subadviser, which is an affiliate of BFA, selects Underlying Funds that themselves invest in different types of equity securities, such as common stocks of U.S.

and international companies (including mid-cap and small-cap companies). The subadviser generally sells shares of Underlying Funds in order to meet or change Underlying Fund allocations or in response to shareholder redemptions. The Fund is designed for investors who are comfortable with assuming the risks associated with investing in stocks, including international stocks. The Underlying Funds may lend their portfolio securities to generate additional income. The Underlying Funds also may, when consistent with their investment objectives, use certain futures, options and swap contracts (collectively, commonly known as derivatives), either for hedging purposes or to increase returns. Although the Fund seeks to provide diversification across traditional equity asset classes, the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a small number of issuers (i.e., one or more Underlying Funds).

However, many of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests are diversified.
