In a rising stock market, total return for Nationwide Risk-Managed Income ETFs may come from capital appreciation of the underlying stock portfolio in addition to income typically generated by the premium received from the sale of the covered call options and dividends received from the Funds’ equity positions. However, the covered call options used as part of the net-credit collar strategy may limit upside growth potential. The Fund managers can close out certain call options as a means of potentially capturing gains in the underlying equity portfolio when indicated by the systematic, rules-based model.

*The Fund managers can close out certain call options as a means of potentially capturing gains in the underlying equity portfolio when indicated by the systematic, rules-based model.
In a sideways market, during which the equity benchmark remains relatively static, the sale of the call option may aid in supporting the generation of premium, which the investor retains. Additionally, the constant hedge may provide a measure of downside protection against potential losses in the equity portfolio.

In a moderately declining market, the measure of downside protection potentially offered by Nationwide Risk-Managed Income ETFs may come from the value of either the short call or the long put. Prior to options expiration, the moneyness of the options (i.e., short call liability or long put value) may contribute to the potential profit or loss of the Funds. Each month, on the Thursday before options expiration, the short call and long put are closed, and a new net-credit collar is set until the next roll period. If the equity portfolio depreciates above the put strike when the options are reset, the long put will expire worthless and may not offer downside protection.

In a steeply declining market, Nationwide Risk-Managed Income ETFs are designed to seek higher total return than either other covered call strategies or the broad equity market. If the value of the underlying equity index declines beyond the level of the protective put, portfolio losses will be limited, thereby preserving the value of the Funds.

Fundamentally designed with income generation in mind, NUSI seeks to offer several benefits that may address the yield enhancement and volatility management needs of investors:

Distribution Yield: The annual yield an investor would receive if the most recent fund distribution remained the same going forward. The distribution yield represents a single distribution from the Fund and is not a representation of the Fund's total return. The distribution yield is calculated by multiplying the most recent distribution by 12 in order to annualize it, and then dividing by the Fund's NAV.
Call Option (source: Investopedia): Call options are financial contracts that give the option buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy a stock, bond, commodity or other asset or instrument at a specified price within a specific time period. The stock, bond, or commodity is called the underlying asset.
Covered Call (source: Investopedia): A covered call refers to transaction in the financial market in which the investor selling call options owns the equivalent amount of the underlying security. To execute this an investor holding a long position in an asset then writes (sells) call options on that same asset to generate an income stream. The investor's long position in the asset is the "cover" because it means the seller can deliver the shares if the buyer of the call option chooses to exercise.
Nationwide shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Total returns are calculated using the daily 4:00pm EST net asset value (NAV). Market price returns reflect the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. Market price returns do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. The Fund's return may not match or achieve a high degree of correlation with the return of the underlying index.

KEY RISKS: The Funds are subject to the risks of investing in equity securities, including tracking stock (a class of common stock that “tracks” the performance of a unit or division within a larger company). A tracking stock’s value may decline even if the larger company’s stock increases in value. The Funds may invest in more-aggressive investments such as derivatives (which create investment leverage and illiquidity and are highly volatile). The Funds employs a collared options strategy (using call and put options is speculative and can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the reference asset). The success of the Fund’s investment strategy may depend on the effectiveness of the subadviser’s quantitative tools for screening securities and on data provided by third parties. The Funds expects to invest a portion of their assets to replicate the holdings of an index. Correlation between Fund performance and index performance may be affected by Fund expenses and because the Fund may not be invested fully in the securities of the index or may hold securities not included in the index. not be invested fully in the securities of the index or may hold securities not included in the index.The Funds frequently may buy and sell portfolio securities and other assets to rebalance its exposure to various market sectors. Higher portfolio turnover may result in higher levels of transaction costs paid by the Funds and greater tax liabilities for shareholders. The Funds may concentrate on specific sectors or industries, subjecting it to greater volatility than that of other ETFs. The Funds may hold large positions in a small number of securities, and an increase or decrease in the value of such securities may have a disproportionate impact on the Fund’s value and total return. Although the Funds intend to invest in a variety of securities and instruments, the Funds will be considered nondiversified. NUSI is subject to the risks of investing in foreign securities (currency fluctuations, political risks, differences in accounting and limited availability of information, all of which are magnified in emerging markets). Diversification does not assure a profit nor protect against loss in a declining market.
