About NWHFX

The Nationwide Bailard Cognitive Value Fund is a mutual fund that primarily targets long-term capital appreciation by investing in common stocks of small-cap value companies. The fund’s investment strategy is guided by behavioral finance principles, leveraging investor behavior insights to identify and capitalize on undervalued opportunities within the small-cap segment. It typically focuses on companies with market capitalizations similar to those represented in the Russell 2000 Value Index, maintaining a portfolio that is both diversified by sector and concentrated on value-driven equities. With a major allocation to small value stocks and some exposure to large value and growth equities, the fund also occasionally includes a small percentage of foreign stocks and cash positions. The Nationwide Bailard Cognitive Value Fund serves investors seeking exposure to the U.S. small-cap value market, offering a distinctive approach grounded in cognitive analysis to uncover market inefficiencies.
