NWLCX Investment Objective and Strategy
Nationwide Destination 2035 Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Nationwide Mutual Funds.
Investment objective
The Nationwide Destination 2035 Fund seeks capital appreciation and income consistent with its current asset allocation.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund is a fund-of-funds that invests primarily in affiliated mutual funds representing a variety of asset classes. The Fund invests in a professionally selected mix of different asset classes that is tailored for investors planning to retire in, or close to, the year 2035. Therefore, the Fund currently emphasizes the pursuit of long-term growth of capital, and invests considerably in equity securities, such as common stocks of U.S. and international companies, including smaller companies. As of February 28, 2018, the Fund allocates approximately 52% of its net assets in U.S. stocks (including smaller company stocks), approximately 28% in international stocks, and approximately 20% in bonds (including mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities). As the year 2035 approaches, and for an additional 20 years thereafter, the Funds allocations to different asset classes will progressively become more conservative, with increasing emphasis on investments that provide for income and preservation of capital, and less on those offering the potential for growth.
The Fund invests primarily in affiliated portfolios of Nationwide Mutual Funds, but also may invest in unaffiliated exchange-traded funds (each, an Underlying Fund or collectively, Underlying Funds), that collectively represent several asset classes. The Fund may also invest in a fixed interest contract issued by Nationwide Life Insurance Company (Nationwide Contract). Many Underlying Funds are index funds (or funds that use index replication strategies) that invest directly in equity securities, bonds or other securities with a goal of obtaining investment returns that closely track a benchmark stock or bond index. The Fund also invests in certain Underlying Funds that are not index funds. Although the Fund seeks to provide diversification across several asset classes, the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a small number of issuers (i.e., Underlying Funds).
However, the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests generally are diversified. The Fund is designed for investors who are comfortable with assuming the risks associated with investing in a high percentage of stocks, including international stocks and smaller companies. The Fund also assumes that its investors will retire in or close to 2035 at the age of 65, and that such investors want to emphasize capital growth over the long term and can tolerate possible short-term losses, but also seek to reduce risk by investing a smaller portion in fixed income securities.
