Statement of Investments (Continued)

March 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Global Equity Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Fund determines the fair value of its investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

Level 1:    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
Level 2:    Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3:    Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Board of Trustees has delegated authority to the Trust’s investment adviser, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to make fair value determinations. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to make fair value determinations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to make fair value determinations. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Fair value determinations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security. Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security. The fair value of such securities is determined by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including but not limited to the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2013. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information for portfolio holdings.

The following is a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of March 31, 2013. Please see below for information on the Fund’s policy regarding the objectives and strategies for using forward foreign currency contracts.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

The Fund is subject to foreign currency exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its objectives. The Fund entered into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency and/or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a foreign currency. A forward foreign currency contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, and are generally categorized as Level 2 forward foreign currency contracts. A forward foreign currency contract is adjusted daily by the exchange rate of the underlying currency, and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date. Forward foreign currency contracts entail the risk of unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar, and the risk that the counterparties to the contract may be unable to meet their obligations under the contract.

The following is a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of March 31, 2013:

Statement of Investments (Continued)

March 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Nationwide High Yield Bond Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Fund determines the fair value of its investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

Level 1:    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
Level 2:    Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3:    Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Board of Trustees has delegated authority to the Trust’s investment adviser, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to make fair value determinations. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to make fair value determinations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to make fair value determinations. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Fair value determinations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security. Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security. The fair value of such securities is determined by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including but not limited to the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2013. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information for portfolio holdings.
