Fund Disclosure
The Nationwide Investor Destinations 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 Nationwide Investor Destinations Funds, each investor is indirectly paying a proportionate share of the applicable fees and expenses of the underlying funds.
Asset allocation is the process of spreading assets across several different investment styles and asset classes. The purpose is to potentially reduce long-term risk and capture potential profits across various asset classes.
There is no assurance that the investment objective of any fund (or that of any underlying fund) will be achieved, nor that a diversified portfolio will produce better results than a nondiversified portfolio. Diversification does not guarantee returns or insulate an investor from potential losses, including the possible loss of principal.
The Fund is subject to different levels of risk, based on the types and sizes of its underlying asset class allocations and its allocation strategy. In addition, the Fund’s underlying funds may be subject to specific investment risks such as those associated with: (i) bonds and short-term instruments, (ii) small companies, (iii) mid-sized companies, (iv) international securities, (v) real estate investment trusts (REITs), and (vi) initial public offerings (IPOs).
