About NWXSX
Nationwide International Small Cap Fund Class A is a mutual fund designed to deliver long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations outside the United States. The fund implements an international small-cap core strategy, seeking a diversified mix of both growth and value stocks across a wide range of industries and countries. By focusing on companies within the market capitalization range of the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index, the fund offers exposure to foreign developed-market small-cap stocks, which historically can provide distinct risk and return characteristics compared to their larger or domestic counterparts. This fund typically holds hundreds of individual securities, providing broad diversification and aiming to capture opportunities in international markets that might be overlooked by larger funds. With its structure as a Class A mutual fund, it includes features such as a front-end sales charge, a semi-annual dividend payout, and an average risk profile, making it a recognized option within the foreign small/mid blend category for investors seeking global diversification through smaller company exposure.
