Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Amundi Global High Yield Fund (Continued)

 

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

The following is a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2019. 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 objective(s). 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 and/or to manage currency exposures and/or to express a view on a foreign currency vs the U.S. dollar or other 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 generally valued at the mean of the last quoted bid and ask prices, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, and are generally categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All commitments are marked-to-market daily at the applicable exchange rates and any resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward foreign currency contract matures or at the time of delivery of the currency. 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 contracts may be unable to meet their obligations under the contract.

The following table provides a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2019:

1

The Fund, as a buyer of credit protection, pays periodic payments and any upfront premium to the protection seller, and is obligated to receive a contingent payment, upon occurrence of a credit event with respect to an underlying reference obligation, as defined under the terms of each individual swap contract.

2

Implied credit spreads are an indication of the seller’s performance risk, related to the likelihood of a credit event occurring that would require a seller to make a payment to a buyer. Implied credit spreads are used to determine the value of swap contracts and reflect the cost of buying/selling protection, which may include upfront payments made to enter into the contract. Therefore, higher spreads would indicate a greater likelihood that a seller will be obligated to perform (i.e., make payment) under the swap contract. Increasing values, in absolute terms and relative notional amounts, are also indicative of greater performance risk. Implied credit spreads for credit default swaps on credit indices are linked to the weighted average spread across the underlying reference obligations included in a particular index.

3

The notional amount is the maximum amount that a seller of a credit default swap would be obligated to pay and a buyer of credit protection would receive, upon occurrence of a credit event.

4

Upfront premiums generally related to payments received or paid at the initiation of the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and current market conditions (credit spreads, interest rates and other relevant factors).

At July 31, 2019, the Fund had $1,783,443 segregated as collateral for credit default swap contracts.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

Nationwide Amundi Strategic Income Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Centrally cleared credit default swap contracts are included in the table at unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

The following is a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2019. Please see below for information on the Fund’s policy regarding the objectives and strategies for using swap contracts, forward foreign currency contracts and financial futures contracts.

Swap Contracts

Credit Default Swap Contracts. The Fund entered into credit default swap contracts during the period ended July 31, 2019. Credit default swap contracts are either privately negotiated agreements between the Fund and a counterparty or traded through a futures commission merchant and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty.

The Fund uses credit default swap contracts to manage broad credit market spread exposure. The Fund segregates liquid assets to cover its obligations under its credit default swap contracts. Upfront premiums received at the beginning of the initiation period are included in the “Payable for variation margin on centrally cleared credit default swap contracts”. These upfront premiums are amortized and accreted daily and are recorded as realized gains or losses upon maturity or termination of the credit default swap contract.

 

The Statement of Investments should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements which are included in the Fund’s audited annual

report and unaudited semi-annual report.

Nationwide Amundi Strategic Income Fund (Continued)

 

As the protection purchaser in a credit default swap contract, the Fund pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract, provided that no credit event or default (or similar event) occurs. However, the Fund is required to receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation from the counterparty in the event of a default (or similar event) by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign issuer, on the debt obligation. If a credit event or default (or similar event) occurs, the Fund either (i) receives from the counterparty an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and the counterparty takes delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index, or (ii) receives from the counterparty a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities to the notional amount of the swap and the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. As the purchaser in a credit default swap contract, the Fund’s investment would generate income only in the event of an actual default (or similar event) by the issuer of the underlying obligation.

Credit default swap contracts are marked-to-market daily based on valuations from independent pricing services. Credit default swap contracts are generally categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy.

Implied credit spreads are utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on credit indices and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. Implied credit spreads utilized in valuing the Fund’s investments as of July 31, 2019 are disclosed in the Statement of Investments. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of selling protection on such entity’s debt, and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swap agreements on credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting value serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

Certain clearinghouses currently offer clearing for limited types of derivatives transactions, such as credit derivatives. In a centrally cleared credit default swap contract, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and the Fund’s counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. The Fund is required to interface with the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap contract, the Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Statement of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged for centrally cleared credit default swap contracts. The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared credit default swap contracts is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin on centrally cleared credit default swap contracts. Payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, are recorded as realized gains (losses).

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

The Fund is subject to foreign currency exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its objective(s). 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 generally valued at the mean of the last quoted bid and ask prices, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, and are generally categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All commitments are marked-to-market daily at the applicable exchange rates and any resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward foreign currency contract matures or at the time of delivery of the currency. 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 contracts may be unable to meet their obligations under the contract.

Futures Contracts

The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its objective(s). The Fund entered into financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) to gain exposure to and/or hedge against changes in interest rates. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or currency amount.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate an initial margin deposit of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the futures contract’s notional value. Under a futures contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to a broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the futures contract. Subsequent receipts or payments, known as “variation margin” receipts or payments, are made each day, depending on the fluctuation in the fair value of the futures contract, and are recognized by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Futures contracts are generally valued daily at their settlement price as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, and are generally categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy.

A “sale” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price or amount at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. When a futures contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contract at the time it was opened and its value at the time it was closed.

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures contracts for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of the futures contracts and the underlying assets. The Fund’s investments in futures contracts entail limited counterparty credit risk because the Fund invests only in exchange-traded futures contracts, which are settled through the exchange and whose fulfillment is guaranteed by the credit of the exchange.

report and unaudited semi-annual report.

Nationwide Bailard Cognitive Value Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

Nationwide Bailard Emerging Markets Equity Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Nationwide Bailard International Equities Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

The following is a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2019. 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 objective(s). 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 generally valued at the mean of the last quoted bid and ask prices, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, and are generally categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All commitments are marked-to-market daily at the applicable exchange rates and any resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward foreign currency contract matures or at the time of delivery of the currency. 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 contracts may be unable to meet their obligations under the contract.

Nationwide Bailard Technology & Science Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Nationwide Bond Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

The following is a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2019. Please see below for information on the Fund’s policy regarding the objectives and strategies for using financial futures contracts.

Futures Contracts

The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its objective(s). The Fund entered into financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) to gain exposure to and/or hedge against changes in the interest rates. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or currency amount.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate an initial margin deposit of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the futures contract’s notional value. Under a futures contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to a broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the futures contract. Subsequent receipts or payments, known as “variation margin” receipts or payments, are made each day, depending on the fluctuation in the fair value of the futures contract, and are recognized by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Futures contracts are generally valued daily at their settlement price as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, and are generally categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy.

A “sale” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price or amount at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. When a futures contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contract at the time it was opened and its value at the time it was closed.

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures contracts for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of the futures contracts and the underlying assets. The Fund’s investments in futures contracts entail limited counterparty credit risk because the Fund invests only in exchange-traded futures contracts, which are settled through the exchange and whose fulfillment is guaranteed by the credit of the exchange.

The following tables provide a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2019:

Nationwide Bond Index Fund (Continued)

 

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

At July 31, 2019, 100% of the market value of the Fund was determined based on Level 2 inputs.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Core Plus Bond Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Transfers into or out of Level 3 are generally due to a change in market value methodology. If a security was valued using the last quoted sales price from the local exchange on which it traded and applied a fair value factor received from an independent fair value pricing service, it resulted in a Level 2 classification. If the FVC determined a fair value for a security, it resulted in a Level 3 classification.

The FVC continues to evaluate any information that could cause an adjustment to the fair value for these investments, such as market news, the progress of judicial and regulatory proceedings, and subadviser recommendations.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

Nationwide Destination 2010 Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

NFA can increase or redeem all or a portion of the Fund’s investment in the Nationwide Contract on a daily basis at par for any reason without imposition of any sales charge or market value adjustment. The Fund cannot assign or transfer its interest in the Nationwide Contract to any party. If the Fund transferred its interest in the Nationwide Contract, the issuer would terminate the arrangement and pay the Fund the amount of its holding as of the termination date. The Fund or the issuer has the ability to terminate their investment in the Nationwide Contract at their discretion. The FVC continues to evaluate any information that could cause an adjustment to the fair value for this investment, such as market news or the credit rating of the issuer.

If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

Nationwide Destination 2025 Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

Nationwide Destination 2035 Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

The following table represents the Fund’s Level 3 financial instrument. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of Funds investment in the Nationwide Contract include interest rate and daily transactions value. Significant change in any of these inputs would significantly change the fair value measure of the Nationwide Contract. The interest rate and daily transactions value results in stable valuation of the Nationwide Contract.

The Fund or the issuer has the ability to terminate their investment in the Nationwide Contract at their discretion. The FVC continues to evaluate any information that could cause an adjustment to the fair value for this investment, such as market news or the credit rating of the issuer.

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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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.

To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

The following table represents the Fund’s Level 3 financial instrument. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of Funds investment in the Nationwide Contract include interest rate and daily transactions value. Significant change in any of these inputs would significantly change the fair value measure of the Nationwide Contract. The interest rate and daily transactions value results in stable valuation of the Nationwide Contract.

Nationwide Destination 2050 Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

At July 31, 2019, 100% of the market value of the Fund was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

Nationwide Destination Retirement Fund (formerly, Nationwide Destination 2015 Fund) (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

NFA can increase or redeem all or a portion of the Fund’s investment in the Nationwide Contract on a daily basis at par for any reason without imposition of any sales charge or market value adjustment. The Fund cannot assign or transfer its interest in the Nationwide Contract to any party. If the Fund transferred its interest in the Nationwide Contract, the issuer would terminate the arrangement and pay the Fund the amount of its holding as of the termination date. The Fund or the issuer has the ability to terminate their investment in the Nationwide Contract at their discretion. The FVC continues to evaluate any information that could cause an adjustment to the fair value for this investment, such as market news or the credit rating of the issuer.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

At July 31, 2019, 100% of the market value of the Fund was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

The following is a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2019. Please see below for information on the Fund’s policy regarding the objectives and strategies for using options and financial futures contracts.

Options

The Fund has long positions in options on equity index futures contracts and bond treasury futures contracts, which are exchange-traded. Such option investments are utilized to gain exposure to the value of equities and bonds. The purchase of call options provides a measure of downside risk control. Writing put options serves as a limited long hedge because increases in the value of the hedged investment would be offset to the extent of the premium received for writing the option. However, if the security depreciates to a price lower than the strike price of the put option, it can be expected that the put option will be exercised, and the Fund will be obligated to purchase the security at more than its market value. The Fund segregates liquid assets to cover its obligations under its option contracts.

report and unaudited semi-annual report.

Options traded on an exchange are valued at the settlement price provided by an independent pricing service as approved by the Board. If a settlement price is not available, such options are valued at the last quoted sale price, if available, and otherwise at the average bid/ask price. Exchange-traded options are generally categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Options traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market, and which are not quoted by NASDAQ, are valued at the last quoted bid price, and are generally categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. The value of an option position reflects, among other things, the implied price volatility of the underlying investment, the current market value of the underlying investment, the time remaining until expiration of the option, the relationship of the strike price to the market price of the underlying investment, and general market conditions. Options that expire unexercised have no value. American-style options, can be exercised at any time prior to the expiration date of the option. European-style options can only be exercised at expiration of the option.

The Fund effectively terminates its right or obligation under an option by entering into a closing transaction. Closing transactions permit the Fund to realize the profit or limit the loss on an option position prior to its exercise or expiration.

If the Fund is unable to affect a closing transaction for an option it purchased, it would have to exercise the option to realize any profit. The inability to enter into a closing purchase transaction for a covered call option written by the Fund could cause material losses because the Fund would be unable to sell the investment used as a cover for the written option until the option expires or is exercised.

The writing and purchasing of options is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. Imperfect correlation between options and the securities markets may detract from the effectiveness of attempted hedging. Transactions using OTC options (other than options purchased by the Fund) expose the Fund to counterparty risk. To the extent required by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), guidelines, the Fund will not enter into any options transactions unless it owns either (i) an offsetting (“covered”) position in securities, other options, or futures or (ii) cash and liquid obligations with a value sufficient at all times to cover its potential obligations to the extent not covered as provided in (i) above. A Fund will also earmark or set aside cash and/or appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account as required by SEC and U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. Assets used as cover or held in a segregated account cannot be sold while the position in the corresponding option or futures contract is open, unless they are replaced with similar assets. As a result, the commitment of a large portion of the Fund’s assets to earmarking or segregated accounts as a cover could impede portfolio management or the Fund’s ability to meet redemption requests or other current obligations.

Futures Contracts

The Fund is subject to equity price and interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its objective(s). The Fund entered into financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) to gain exposure to the value of equities and to gain exposure to and/or hedge against changes in interest rates. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or currency amount.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate an initial margin deposit of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the futures contract’s notional value. Under a futures contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to a broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the futures contract. Subsequent receipts or payments, known as “variation margin” receipts or payments, are made each day, depending on the fluctuation in the fair value of the futures contract, and are recognized by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Futures contracts are generally valued daily at their settlement price as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, and are generally categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy.

A “sale” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price or amount at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. When a futures contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contract at the time it was opened and its value at the time it was closed.

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures contracts for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of the futures contracts and the underlying assets. The Fund’s investments in futures contracts entail limited counterparty credit risk because the Fund invests only in exchange-traded futures contracts, which are settled through the exchange and whose fulfillment is guaranteed by the credit of the exchange.

Nationwide Emerging Markets Debt Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

At July 31, 2019, 100% of the market value of the Fund was determined based on Level 2 inputs.

The following is a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2019. Please see below for information on the Fund’s policy regarding the objectives and strategies for using options, swap contracts and forward foreign currency contracts.

Swap Contracts

Interest Rate Swap Contracts. The Fund entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge against investment risks, to manage portfolio duration, to obtain exposure to the investment characteristics of certain bonds or groups of bonds, and/or to otherwise increase returns. Interest rate swap contracts are swaps contracts in which the parties exchange their rights to receive payments on a security or other reference rate. For example, the parties might swap the right to receive floating rate payments for the right to receive fixed rate payments. The Fund has segregated liquid assets to cover its obligations under the interest rate swap contract.

Interest rate swap contracts are valued daily and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is recorded. Certain interest rate swap contracts may accrue periodic interest on a daily basis as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation); the Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the payment or receipt of accrued interest. The Fund will realize a gain or a loss when the interest rate swap is terminated. The use of interest rate swap contracts involves the risk that the investment adviser will not accurately predict anticipated changes in interest rates, which may result in losses to the Fund. Interest rate swap contracts also involve the possible failure of a counterparty to perform in accordance with the terms of the swap agreement. If a counterparty defaults on its obligations under a swap agreement, the Fund may lose any amount it expected to receive from the counterparty, potentially including amounts in excess of the Fund’s initial investment. Interest rate swap contracts are marked-to-market daily based on valuations from an independent pricing service. Interest rate swap contracts are generally categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

The Fund is subject to foreign currency exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its objective(s). The Fund entered into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency, to express a view on a foreign currency vs the U.S. dollar or other 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 generally valued at the mean of the last quoted bid and ask prices, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, and are generally categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All commitments are marked-to-market daily at the applicable exchange rates and any resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward foreign currency contract matures or at the time of delivery of the currency. 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 contracts may be unable to meet their obligations under the contract.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

At July 31, 2019, 100% of the market value of the Fund was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

report and unaudited semi-annual report.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Geneva Small Cap Growth Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Nationwide Global Sustainable Equity Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Nationwide Inflation-Protected Securities Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

The following is a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2019. Please see below for information on the Fund’s policy regarding the objectives and strategies for using financial futures contracts.

Futures Contracts

The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its objective(s). The Fund entered into financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) to gain exposure to and/ or hedge against changes in interest rates. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or currency amount.

 

The Statement of Investments should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements which are included in the Fund’s audited annual

report and unaudited semi-annual report.

Nationwide Inflation-Protected Securities Fund (Continued)

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate an initial margin deposit of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the futures contract’s notional value. Under a futures contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to a broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the futures contract. Subsequent receipts or payments, known as “variation margin” receipts or payments, are made each day, depending on the fluctuation in the fair value of the futures contract, and are recognized by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Futures contracts are generally valued daily at their settlement price as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, and are generally categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy.

A “sale” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price or amount at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. When a futures contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contract at the time it was opened and its value at the time it was closed.

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures contracts for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of the futures contracts and the underlying assets. The Fund’s investments in futures contracts entail limited counterparty credit risk because the Fund invests only in exchange-traded futures contracts, which are settled through the exchange and whose fulfillment is guaranteed by the credit of the exchange.

The following tables provide a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2019:

Statement of Investments (Continued)

Nationwide International Index Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Futures Contracts

The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its objective(s). The Fund entered into financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) to gain exposure to the value of equities and foreign currencies. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or currency amount.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate an initial margin deposit of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the futures contract’s notional value. Under a futures contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to a broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the futures contract. Subsequent receipts or payments, known as “variation margin” receipts or payments, are made each day, depending on the fluctuation in the fair value of the futures contract, and are recognized by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Futures contracts are generally valued daily at their settlement price as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, and are generally categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy.

A “sale” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price or amount at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. When a futures contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contract at the time it was opened and its value at the time it was closed.

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures contracts for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of the futures contracts and the underlying assets. The Fund’s investments in futures contracts entail limited counterparty credit risk because the Fund invests only in exchange-traded futures contracts, which are settled through the exchange and whose fulfillment is guaranteed by the credit of the exchange.

The following table provides a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2019:

Statement of Investments (Continued)

Nationwide International Small Cap Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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)

Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

At July 31, 2019, 100% of the market value of the Fund was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

Nationwide Investor Destinations Moderately Conservative Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

NFA can increase or redeem all or a portion of the Fund’s investment in the Nationwide Contract on a daily basis at par for any reason without imposition of any sales charge or market value adjustment. The Fund cannot assign or transfer its interest in the Nationwide Contract to any party. If the Fund transferred its interest in the Nationwide Contract, the issuer would terminate the arrangement and pay the Fund the amount of its holding as of the termination date. The Fund or the issuer has the ability to terminate their investment in the Nationwide Contract at their discretion. The FVC continues to evaluate any information that could cause an adjustment to the fair value for this investment, such as market news or the credit rating of the issuer.

Statement of Investments

July 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Loomis All Cap Growth Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

At July 31, 2019, 100% of the market value of the Fund was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

The following is a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2019. Please see below for information on the Fund’s policy regarding the objectives and strategies for using financial futures contracts.

Futures Contracts

The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its objective(s). The Fund entered into financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) to gain exposure to and/ or hedge against changes in interest rates. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or currency amount.

 

The Statement of Investments should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements which are included in the Fund’s audited annual

report and unaudited semi-annual report.

Nationwide Loomis Core Bond Fund (Continued)

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate an initial margin deposit of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the futures contract’s notional value. Under a futures contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to a broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the futures contract. Subsequent receipts or payments, known as “variation margin” receipts or payments, are made each day, depending on the fluctuation in the fair value of the futures contract, and are recognized by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Futures contracts are generally valued daily at their settlement price as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, and are generally categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy.

A “sale” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price or amount at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. When a futures contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contract at the time it was opened and its value at the time it was closed.

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures contracts for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of the futures contracts and the underlying assets. The Fund’s investments in futures contracts entail limited counterparty credit risk because the Fund invests only in exchange-traded futures contracts, which are settled through the exchange and whose fulfillment is guaranteed by the credit of the exchange.

The following tables provide a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2019:

Nationwide Loomis Short-Term Bond Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

report and unaudited semi-annual report.

Nationwide Loomis Short-Term Bond Fund (Continued)

 

 

The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its objective(s). The Fund entered into financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) to gain exposure to and/ or hedge against changes in interest rates. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or currency amount.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate an initial margin deposit of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the futures contract’s notional value. Under a futures contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to a broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the futures contract. Subsequent receipts or payments, known as “variation margin” receipts or payments, are made each day, depending on the fluctuation in the fair value of the futures contract, and are recognized by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Futures contracts are generally valued daily at their settlement price as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, and are generally categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy.

A “sale” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price or amount at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. When a futures contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contract at the time it was opened and its value at the time it was closed.

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures contracts for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of the futures contracts and the underlying assets. The Fund’s investments in futures contracts entail limited counterparty credit risk because the Fund invests only in exchange-traded futures contracts, which are settled through the exchange and whose fulfillment is guaranteed by the credit of the exchange.

The following tables provide a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2019:

Nationwide Mid Cap Market Index Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

The following is a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2019. Please see below for information on the Fund’s policy regarding the objectives and strategies for using financial futures contracts.

Futures Contracts

The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its objective(s). The Fund entered into financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) to gain exposure to the value of equities. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or currency amount.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate an initial margin deposit of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the futures contract’s notional value. Under a futures contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to a broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the futures contract. Subsequent receipts or payments, known as “variation margin” receipts or payments, are made each day, depending on the fluctuation in the fair value of the futures contract, and are recognized by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Futures contracts are generally valued daily at their settlement price as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, and are generally categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy.

 

The Statement of Investments should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements which are included in the Fund’s audited annual

report and unaudited semi-annual report.

A “sale” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price or amount at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. When a futures contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contract at the time it was opened and its value at the time it was closed.

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures contracts for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of the futures contracts and the underlying assets. The Fund’s investments in futures contracts entail limited counterparty credit risk because the Fund invests only in exchange-traded futures contracts, which are settled through the exchange and whose fulfillment is guaranteed by the credit of the exchange.

The following table provides a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2019:

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Multi-Cap Portfolio (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

The following is a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2019. Please see below for information on the Fund’s policy regarding the objectives and strategies for using options, swap contracts, forward foreign currency contracts and financial futures contracts.

Options

The Fund purchased and wrote put options on futures contracts. Such option investments are utilized to gain exposure to and/or hedge against changes in interest rates. The purchase of put options serves as a short hedge and the purchase of call options serves as a long hedge.

Writing put options serves as a limited long hedge because increases in the value of the hedged investment would be offset to the extent of the premium received for writing the option. However, if the security depreciates to a price lower than the strike price of the put option, it can be expected that the put option will be exercised, and the Fund will be obligated to purchase the security at more than its market value. The Fund segregates liquid assets to cover its obligations under its option contracts. Writing call options serves as a limited short hedge because declines in the value of the hedged investment would be offset to the extent of the premium received for writing the option. However, if the security appreciates to a price higher than the exercise price of the call option, it can be expected that the call option will be exercised, and a Fund will be obligated to sell the security at less than its market value or will be obligated to purchase the security at a price greater than that at which the security must be sold under the option.

When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options which expire unexercised are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds from or offset against amounts paid on the underlying transaction to determine the realized gain or loss on such underlying transaction. When the Fund writes an option, it has no control over whether the option will be exercised, and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the instrument underlying the written option. Writing options entails the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

Options traded on an exchange are valued at the settlement price provided by an independent pricing service as approved by the Board. If a settlement price is not available, such options are valued at the last quoted sale price, if available, and otherwise at the average bid/ask price. Exchange-traded options are generally categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Options traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market, and which are not quoted by NASDAQ, are valued at the last quoted bid price, and are generally categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. The value of an option position reflects, among other things, the implied price volatility of the underlying investment, the current market value of the underlying investment, the time remaining until expiration of the option, the relationship of the strike price to the market price of the underlying investment, and general market conditions. Options that expire unexercised have no value. American-style options can be exercised at any time prior to the expiration date of the option. European-style options can only be exercised at expiration of the option.

The Fund effectively terminates its right or obligation under an option by entering into a closing transaction. Closing transactions permit the Fund to realize the profit or limit the loss on an option position prior to its exercise or expiration.

If the Fund is unable to affect a closing transaction for an option it purchased, it would have to exercise the option to realize any profit. The inability to enter into a closing purchase transaction for a covered call option written by the Fund could cause material losses because the Fund would be unable to sell the investment used as a cover for the written option until the option expires or is exercised.

The writing and purchasing of options is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. Imperfect correlation between options and the securities markets may detract from the effectiveness of attempted hedging. Transactions using OTC options (other than options purchased by the Fund) expose the Fund to counterparty risk. To the extent required by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidelines, the Fund will not enter into any options transactions unless it owns either (i) an offsetting (“covered”) position in securities, other options, or futures or (ii) cash and liquid obligations with a value sufficient at all times to cover its potential obligations to the extent not covered as provided in (i) above. A Fund will also earmark or set aside cash and/or appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account as required by SEC and U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. Assets used as cover or held in a segregated account cannot be sold while the position in the corresponding option or futures contract is open, unless they are replaced with similar assets. As a result, the commitment of a large portion of the Fund’s assets to earmarking or segregated accounts as a cover could impede portfolio management or the Fund’s ability to meet redemption requests or other current obligations.

Swap Contracts

Total Return Swaps. The Fund entered into total return swaps to obtain exposure to a foreign market and/or foreign index without owning such securities or investing directly in that foreign market and/or foreign index. Total return swap contracts are agreements in which the Fund and the counterparty each agree to pay the other party the difference between the relative investment performance that would have been achieved if the notional amount of the total return swap contract had been invested in the particular foreign market and/or foreign indices and the return for payments equal to the fixed or floating rate of interest. The counterparty to a total return swap contract is a financial institution. The Fund has segregated liquid assets to cover its obligations under the total return swap contract.

The Fund entered into total return swap contracts on a net basis, which means that the two payment streams are netted out, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. Payments are made at the conclusion of a total return swap contract or periodically during its term. Total return swap contracts normally do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to total return swap contracts is normally limited to the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually obligated to make. If the counterparty to a total return swap defaults, the Fund’s risk of loss consists of the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive, if any. Total return swap contracts are marked-to-market daily based on valuations from an independent pricing service. An independent pricing service can utilize daily swap curves and models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as, but not limited to, discounted cash flows, trades, and values of the underlying reference instruments, such as the foreign market and /or foreign index. Total return swap contracts are generally categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy.

report and unaudited semi-annual report.

Nationwide Multi-Cap Portfolio (Continued)

 

Interest Rate Swaps. The Fund entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge against investment risks, to manage portfolio duration, to obtain exposure to the investment characteristics of certain bonds or groups of bonds, and/or to otherwise increase returns. Interest rate swap contracts are swaps contracts in which the parties exchange their rights to receive payments on a security or other reference rate. For example, the parties might swap the right to receive floating rate payments for the right to receive fixed rate payments. The Fund has segregated liquid assets to cover its obligations under the interest rate swap contract.

Interest rate swap contracts are valued daily and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is recorded. Certain interest rate swap contracts may accrue periodic interest on a daily basis as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation); the Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the payment or receipt of accrued interest. The Fund will realize a gain or a loss when the interest rate swap is terminated. The use of interest rate swap contracts involves the risk that the investment adviser will not accurately predict anticipated changes in interest rates, which may result in losses to the Fund. Interest rate swap contracts also involve the possible failure of a counterparty to perform in accordance with the terms of the swap agreement. If a counterparty defaults on its obligations under a swap agreement, the Fund may lose any amount it expected to receive from the counterparty, potentially including amounts in excess of the Fund’s initial investment. Interest rate swap contracts are marked-to-market daily based on valuations from an independent pricing service. Interest rate swap contracts are generally categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

The Fund is subject to foreign currency exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its objective(s). The Fund entered into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency, to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a foreign currency, or to enhance returns. 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 generally valued at the mean of the last quoted bid and ask prices, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, and are generally categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All commitments are marked-to-market daily at the applicable exchange rates and any resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward foreign currency contract matures or at the time of delivery of the currency. 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 contracts may be unable to meet their obligations under the contract.

Futures Contracts

The Fund is subject to equity and interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its objective(s). The Fund entered into financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) to gain exposure to/hedge against changes in the value of equities/the value of fixed-income securities/interest rates/foreign currencies. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or currency amount. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or currency amount.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate an initial margin deposit of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the futures contract’s notional value. Under a futures contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to a broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the futures contract. Subsequent receipts or payments, known as “variation margin” receipts or payments, are made each day, depending on the fluctuation in the fair value of the futures contract, and are recognized by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Futures contracts are generally valued daily at their settlement price as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, and are generally categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy.

A “sale” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price or amount at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. When a futures contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contract at the time it was opened and its value at the time it was closed.

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures contracts for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of the futures contracts and the underlying assets. The Fund’s investments in futures contracts entail limited counterparty credit risk because the Fund invests only in exchange-traded futures contracts, which are settled through the exchange and whose fulfillment is guaranteed by the credit of the exchange.

Nationwide S&P 500 Index Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Futures Contracts

The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its objective(s). The Fund entered into financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) to gain exposure to the value of equities. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or currency amount.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate an initial margin deposit of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the futures contract’s notional value. Under a futures contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to a broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the futures contract. Subsequent receipts or payments, known as “variation margin” receipts or payments, are made each day, depending on the fluctuation in the fair value of the futures contract, and are recognized by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Futures contracts are generally valued daily at their settlement price as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, and are generally categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy.

A “sale” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price or amount at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. When a futures contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contract at the time it was opened and its value at the time it was closed.

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures contracts for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of the futures contracts and the underlying assets. The Fund’s investments in futures contracts entail limited counterparty credit risk because the Fund invests only in exchange-traded futures contracts, which are settled through the exchange and whose fulfillment is guaranteed by the credit of the exchange.

The following table provides a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2019:

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Small Cap Index Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Futures Contracts

The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its objective(s). The Fund entered into financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) to gain exposure to the value of equities. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or currency amount.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate an initial margin deposit of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the futures contract’s notional value. Under a futures contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to a broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the futures contract. Subsequent receipts or payments, known as “variation margin” receipts or payments, are made each day, depending on the fluctuation in the fair value of the futures contract, and are recognized by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Futures contracts are generally valued daily at their settlement price as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, and are generally categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy.

A “sale” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price or amount at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. When a futures contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contract at the time it was opened and its value at the time it was closed.

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures contracts for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of the futures contracts and the underlying assets. The Fund’s investments in futures contracts entail limited counterparty credit risk because the Fund invests only in exchange-traded futures contracts, which are settled through the exchange and whose fulfillment is guaranteed by the credit of the exchange.

The following table provides a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2019:

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Small Company Growth Fund (Continued)

 

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Nationwide U.S. Small Cap Value Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

   $—    $(1,426)   $(1,426)  

Amounts designated as “—” are zero or have been rounded to zero.

Transfers into or out of Level 3 are generally due to a change in market value methodology. If a security was valued using the last quoted sales price from the local exchange on which it traded and applied a fair value factor received from an independent fair value pricing service, it resulted in a Level 2 classification. If the FVC determined a fair value for a security, it resulted in a Level 3 classification.

The FVC continues to evaluate any information that could cause an adjustment to the fair value for these investments, such as market news, the progress of judicial and regulatory proceedings, and subadviser recommendations.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

Nationwide WCM Focused Small Cap Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Ziegler Equity Income Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Ziegler NYSE Arca Tech 100 Index Fund (Continued)

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Funds’ (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees”) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations. 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.

Securities may be fair valued in certain 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/NFM 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 FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a 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. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy.

Equity securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange (“non-U.S. securities”) are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for non-U.S. securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on the exchange on which such securities trade. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. If daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available, such non-U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2019. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.
