Nationwide Emerging Markets Index Fund (NSI)

Overview

The fund is a specialized investment vehicle that places a significant emphasis on the national security interests of the United States when selecting its portfolio components. It dedicates at least 80% of its total assets to securities that make up the index it tracks. This index is uniquely constituted of stocks from globally recognized exchanges but is distinct in its exclusionary criteria. Specifically, the index avoids companies whose end-user benefits are viewed by its sponsor, National Security Index, LLC, as potentially threatening to U.S. national security. This approach reflects a blend of financial investment strategies with a focus on supporting and safeguarding national security priorities.
