Nationwide offers solutions for most types of investors
We understand that your plan participants have different degrees of knowledge and interest in investment management.
That’s why our Participant Account Management feature offers choices ranging from a "hands off" approach to investment management (Professionally Managed Accounts) to one for plan participants who want "hands on" involvement with managing their investments (Self-directed Brokerage Accounts).
You can consider offering a range of options to your plan participants – with no additional fees to you as the plan sponsor.

Target Maturity Funds are designed for people who plan to retire during or near a specific year. These funds use a strategy that reallocates equity exposure to a higher percentage of fixed investments over time. As a result, the funds become more conservative over time as retirement approaches. it’s important to remember that no strategy can assure a profit or prevent a loss in a declining market.
Target Maturity Funds are designed to provide diversification and asset allocation across several types of investments and asset classes, primarily by investing in underlying funds. Therefore, in addition to the expenses of the Target Maturity Funds, an investor is indirectly paying a proportionate share of the applicable fees and expenses of the underlying funds.
Please note that the investment options offered through Nationwide's Fund Window have not been individually selected and are not monitored by the Plan Representative. Nationwide does not monitor the funds offered through Fund Window.
