About NWCSX

The Nationwide Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund Class Institutional Service is an actively managed mutual fund that seeks to provide maximum long-term total return with a balanced approach to risk and preservation of principal. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in investment-grade fixed-income securities, including U.S. Treasury bonds, agency securities, and high-quality corporate debt. As a "core plus" bond fund, it enhances its income and return potential by allocating a portion of assets to high yield and emerging market debt, diversifying across 354 holdings and maintaining a weighted-average maturity of four to nine years. Established in 2013, this fund targets institutional investors, reflected by its higher minimum investment requirement and an expense ratio of 0.59%. The fund plays a significant role in institutional fixed income portfolios, offering diversified exposure to both core and extended sectors of the bond market, and aims to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns for large-scale investors seeking stability alongside yield potential.
