Nationwide Geneva Small Cap Growth Fund

Under typical market conditions, this fund's investment objective is to acquire common shares of publicly traded companies. The subadviser specifically targets firms that, at the time of purchase, exhibit compelling growth characteristics. These attributes typically include a leading position within their industry, a durable competitive advantage, strong potential for earnings expansion, and seasoned management teams. A core component of its strategy dictates that at least 80% of its net assets must be invested in small-capitalization companies.
