About NIFIX
The Nationwide Inflation-Protected Securities Fund Class R6 is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with protection against inflation while generating income. Its primary purpose is to invest in inflation-indexed securities, such as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), which automatically adjust their principal value in line with the U.S. inflation rate. By focusing on these assets, the fund aims to preserve purchasing power over time, especially during periods of rising consumer prices. This fund is managed with a strategy that seeks to balance inflation protection with income potential, and it predominantly holds securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, although it may also include similar inflation-linked bonds from other issuers. Its performance is measured against inflation-protected bond indices and it operates within the "Inflation-Protected Bond" category. The fund is particularly significant for institutional investors and retirement plans seeking stable, inflation-hedged returns within their fixed income allocations. Over the long term, it has delivered returns comparable to peers in its category, with a focus on mitigating the risk of eroding real value due to inflation.
