Nationwide S&P 500 Index Fund

The Nationwide S&P 500 Index Fund utilizes a passive investment strategy, often referred to as indexing. Its main goal is to closely track the performance of the S&P 500 Index, before factoring in its own operating costs. The S&P 500 Index itself is composed of roughly 500 stocks from major U.S. companies across a diverse range of business sectors. However, this fund isn't required to invest in every single security within the S&P 500, nor does it necessarily replicate the exact market capitalization weightings of each company in the index.
