    Strategy overview

    The Nationwide Destination 2060 Fund is a fund-of-funds that invests in a mix of equity and fixed-income asset classes. The Fund assumes that its investors are millennials born around 1995 who will retire in or close to 2060 at the age of 65. The Fund currently emphasizes the pursuit of long-term growth of capital, and invests heavily in equity securities, such as common stocks of U.S. and international companies, including smaller companies. As the year 2060 approaches, the Fund's 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. It is designed for aggressive investors who are comfortable with assuming the risks associated with investing in a high percentage of stocks, including international stocks and stocks of smaller companies. The Fund seeks exposure to securities of foreign issuers, which may include securities of issuers in emerging market countries. It also assumes that its investors will retire in or close to 2060 at the age of 65, and that such investors want to maximize their long-term returns and have a high tolerance for possible short-term losses.

    Performance

    Average annual returns
    (as of )

    Important disclosure

    The results shown represent past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the past performance shown. Share price, principal value, and return will vary, and you may have a gain or a loss when you sell your shares. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

    Performance returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions. Returns for periods less than one year are not annualized. Total returns reflect a contractual expense limitation for direct annual Fund expenses for all classes for certain periods since inception, without which returns would have been lower. Pre-inception historical performance for newer share classes is based on the corresponding share class performance of a Fund's predecessor fund. If no predecessor Fund applies, historical performance is based on that of the longest existing share class, adjusted for sales charges if applicable.

    Fund risks

    The Nationwide Target Destination Funds are designed to provide diversification across a variety of asset classes, primarily by investing in underlying funds. Therefore, in addition to the expenses of the Nationwide Target Destination Funds, each investor is indirectly paying a proportionate share of the applicable fees and expenses of the underlying funds. An investor may choose to retire at an age other than age 65 or may have different needs than a Fund's allocation model indicates.

    Each 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, each Fund's underlying funds may be subject to specific investment risks, including but not limited to: stock market risk (equity securities); default risk and interest rate risk—if interest rates go up, bond prices go down, and if interest rates go down, bond prices go up (bonds); currency fluctuations, political risks, differences in accounting and limited availability of information (international securities); and derivatives risk (many derivatives create investment leverage and are highly volatile). Please refer to the most recent prospectus for a more detailed explanation of the Fund's principal risks.

    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 or 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.

    [1] S&P Target Date® Indexes: A series of 13 unmanaged, multi-asset class indexes consisting of the S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index plus 12 indexes that correspond to a specific target retirement date (ranging from 2010 through 2065+). The series reflects a subset of target date funds, each of which generally has an asset allocation mix and glide path featuring relatively conservative total equity exposure near retirement and static total equity exposure after retirement. Each index in the series reflects varying levels of exposure to equities, bonds, and other asset classes and becomes more conservative with the approach of the target retirement date.

    Read this important information

    Performance represents average annual total returns, assumes the reinvestment of all distributions and reflects applicable sales charges. Total returns reflect a waiver of part of each Fund's fees for certain periods since inception, without which returns would have been lower. Average annual total returns illustrate the annual compounded returns that would have produced the cumulative total return if each Fund's performance had remained constant throughout the period indicated. Returns for periods less than one year are not annualized.

    Additional disclosures

    Returns prior to the first offering of a specific share class of a Fund are based on the previous performance of other share classes of that Fund as noted below. This performance is substantially similar to what the specific share class would have produced because all share classes of a Fund invest in the same portfolio of securities. Performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. Performance has not been adjusted to reflect differences in applicable sales charges for individual classes, which if reflected may have resulted in higher or lower performance for the specific share class. Performance has been adjusted to reflect different expense levels for individual classes.

    Morningstar Ratings disclosure

    Morningstar Ratings reflect risk-adjusted performance. The Morningstar RatingTM is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with the Fund's 3-, 5- and 10-year (if applicable) periods.

    Morningstar Ratings metrics: Morningstar Ratings are based solely on a proprietary mathematical formula based on measures of risk and performance that it recalculates each month. The ratings formula measures the amount of variation in a fund's monthly performance (excluding the effects of sales charges and loads) emphasizing downward variations and rewarding consistency. Ratings are subject to change every month. The top 10% of funds in the category receive 5 stars; the next 22.5%, 4 stars; the next 35%, 3 stars; the next 22.5%, 2 stars; and the bottom 10%, 1 star.

    Ratings are based on specific class performance of each fund. Current fund performance may be higher or lower, which may change a fund's star rating. Despite high ratings, funds may have experienced negative performance during the period. Performance may reflect a waiver of part of a fund's fees for certain periods since inception, without which returns would have been lower. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads.
