About NWJSX

Nationwide Loomis Short Term Bond Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund focused on high-quality, short-duration fixed income. Its primary objective is to provide current income with modest interest-rate sensitivity by investing across short-term segments of the U.S. bond market, guided by a duration range tied to a short-term benchmark and managed by Loomis Sayles, a veteran institutional bond manager. The portfolio typically emphasizes investment-grade government, agency, corporate, and securitized debt, aiming to balance credit selection with liquidity and preservation of capital over shorter horizons. The fund’s role in the market is to serve as a conservative core bond holding for investors seeking lower volatility than intermediate-term funds while maintaining meaningful income potential. Cost structure includes a front-end load for Class A shares and an expense ratio reduced by waivers, reflecting standard distribution and management fees for its share class. Performance is evaluated against Bloomberg short-duration and aggregate bond benchmarks, with attention to risk-adjusted outcomes that highlight consistency and downside control in varied rate environments.
