About NWKEX
Nationwide WCM Focused Small Cap Fund Class R6 is a mutual fund dedicated to investing in equities of U.S. small-cap companies. The fund's primary objective is to seek capital appreciation by targeting companies that the subadviser believes exhibit strong earnings growth potential and attractive valuations. As a small-blend fund, it maintains a portfolio that balances both growth and value characteristics, focusing on firms at the lower end of the market capitalization spectrum—typically the bottom 10% of the U.S. equity market. Its investment approach emphasizes careful stock selection within various sectors, with notable allocations in areas such as retail, real estate, industrial distribution, and business services. The fund’s diversified sector exposure aims to capture opportunities across the small-cap landscape, contributing to its role as a potential diversifier within broader equity portfolios. By targeting emerging and evolving small-cap companies, the fund plays a significant role in connecting investors to the growth prospects of innovative businesses that may not be widely followed by larger market participants.
