Nationwide S&P 500 Index Fund

The fund employs a “passive” management, or indexing, approach, which seeks to match approximately the performance of the S&P 500 Index before the deduction of Fund expenses. The S&P 500 Index includes approximately 500 stocks of large U.S. companies in a wide range of businesses. The fund does not necessarily invest in all of the securities included in the S&P 500 Index or in the same weightings.
