Example
This Example is intended to help you to compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of your shares at the end of those time periods. It assumes a 5% return each year and no change in
expenses. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs.
These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Funds performance. During the most recent fiscal year of the predecessor fund (July 31, 2013), the portfolio turnover rate was 25.74% of
the average value of its portfolio. See the section entitled Performance for more information about the predecessor fund.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks to invest, under normal market conditions, in common stocks of publicly traded companies that the subadviser believes demonstrate, at the time of a stocks purchase, strong growth
characteristics such as a leadership position in the relevant industry, a sustainable advantage, strong earnings growth potential and experienced management.
The Funds investment focus is on U.S. companies whose market capitalization is generally within the market capitalization range of the companies represented in the Russell Midcap Index at time of
purchase (U.S. mid-cap companies), although the Fund may invest in companies outside this range. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. mid-cap companies. Because the fund may continue to
hold a security whose market capitalization increases or decreases, a substantial portion of the Funds holdings can have market capitalizations outside the range of the Russell Midcap Index at any given time. In selecting growth stocks for the
Fund, the subadviser emphasizes a bottom-up fundamental analysis (i.e., developing an understanding of the specific company through research, meetings with management or analysis of the companys financial statements and public
disclosures). The subadvisers bottom-up approach is supplemented by top-down considerations (i.e., reviewing general economic conditions and analyzing their effect on various industries).
The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its assets in exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Principal Risks
The Fund cannot guarantee that
it will achieve its investment objective.
As with any fund, the value of the Funds investmentsand therefore, the value of Fund
sharesmay fluctuate. These changes may occur because of:
Stock
market risk
the Fund could lose value if the individual stocks in which it invests or overall stock markets in which such stocks trade go down.
Growth style risk
growth stocks may be more volatile than other stocks because they are generally more sensitive to investor perceptions and market movements. In addition, growth stocks as a group may be out of favor at times and underperform the overall
equity market for long periods while the market concentrates on other types of stocks, such as value stocks.
Mid-cap risk
medium-sized companies are usually less stable in price and less liquid than are larger, more
established companies. Therefore, they generally involve greater risk.
Exchange-traded funds risk
an investment in an ETF is subject to all of the risks of investing in the securities held by the ETF and there is no guarantee that the market price of an ETF is the same as the market value of the
ETFs underlying securities. Because an ETF has operating expenses and transaction costs, while a market index does not, ETFs that track particular indices typically will be unable to match the performance of the index exactly. Because of the
ability of large market participants to arbitrage price differences by purchasing or redeeming creation units, however, the difference between the market value and the net asset value of ETF shares should, in most cases, be small. An ETF may be
terminated and need to liquidate its portfolio securities at a time when the prices for those securities are falling.
In addition to these risks,
the Funds subadviser may select securities that underperform the stock market, the Funds benchmark or other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.
If the value of the Funds investments goes down, you may
lose money
.
Performance
The
returns presented for the Fund reflect the performance of the HighMark Geneva Mid Cap Growth Fund, a former series of HighMark Funds (the Predecessor Fund). The Fund has adopted the historical performance of the Predecessor Fund as the
result of a reorganization in which the Fund acquired all of the assets, subject to the liabilities, of the Predecessor Fund on September 16, 2013. The returns presented for periods prior to June 8, 2009 are based on the performance of the North
Track Geneva Growth Fund (the Prior Predecessor Fund), which was acquired as the result of a reorganization between the Predecessor Fund and the Prior Predecessor Fund. The Fund and the Predecessor Fund have substantially similar
investment goals and strategies.
The following bar chart and table can help you evaluate the Funds potential risks. The bar chart shows how
the Funds annual

total returns have varied from year to year. These returns do not reflect the impact of sales charges. If sales charges were reflected, the annual total returns would be lower than those shown.
The table compares the Funds average annual total returns to the returns of a broad-based securities index. Remember, however, that past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily indicative of how the Fund will perform in the
future. Updated performance information is available at no cost by visiting nationwide.com/mutualfunds or by calling 800-848-0920.
Annual
Total Returns Class A Shares
(Years Ended December 31,)
Best quarter: 16.45% 2nd qtr. 2009
Worst quarter: -24.61% 4th qtr. 2008
Year-to-date total return as of September 30, 2013: 22.05%
After-tax returns are shown for Class
A shares only and will vary for other classes. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect state and local taxes. Your actual after-tax return depends on your personal
tax situation and may differ from what is shown here. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors in tax-deferred arrangements, such as individual retirement accounts, 401(k) plans or certain other employer-sponsored retirement plans.
Historical performance for Class A, Class C and Institutional Service Class shares is based on the previous performance of Class A, Class C and
Fiduciary Class Shares, respectively, of the Predecessor Fund. The performance of Fiduciary Class Shares for the period from June 8, 2009 to June 26, 2009 was based on the performance of Class A Shares of the Predecessor Fund and, for the period
prior to June 8, 2009, of Class A shares of the Prior Predecessor Fund. The performance of the Predecessor Funds Fiduciary Class Shares had been adjusted because Class A Shares of the Predecessor Fund and the Prior Predecessor Fund bore a
sales charge while Fiduciary Class Shares did not bear a sales charge. However, the performance of the Predecessor Funds Fiduciary Class Shares was not adjusted to reflect that share classs lower expenses than those of Class A Shares of
the Predecessor Fund and the Prior Predecessor Fund.
The Fund commenced offering Institutional Class shares on September 18, 2013. Therefore,
pre-inception historical performance of Institutional Class shares is based on the previous performance of the Predecessor Funds Fiduciary Class Shares.
Performance for Institutional Class shares has not been adjusted to reflect that share classs lower expenses than those of the Predecessor Funds Fiduciary Class Shares.

Tax Information
The Funds distributions are taxable, and generally will be taxed as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are
investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account, in which case your distributions generally will be taxed when withdrawn from the tax-deferred account.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the
intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediarys website for more information.
