CDX Credit Default Swap Index

 

1

The Fund, as a seller of credit protection, receives periodic payments and any upfront premium from the protection buyer, and is obligated to make a contingent payment, upon occurrence of a credit event with respect to an underlying reference obligation, as defined under the terms of each individual swap contract.

2

The notional amount is the maximum amount that a seller of a credit default swap would be obligated to pay and a buyer of credit protection would receive, upon occurrence of a credit event.

3

Implied credit spreads are an indication of the seller’s performance risk, related to the likelihood of a credit event occurring that would require a seller to make a payment to a buyer. Implied credit spreads are used to determine the value of swap contracts and reflect the cost of buying/selling protection, which may include upfront payments made to enter into the contract. Therefore, higher spreads would indicate a greater likelihood that a seller will be obligated to perform (i.e., make payment) under the swap contract. Increasing values, in absolute terms and relative notional amounts, are also indicative of greater performance risk. Implied credit spreads for credit default swaps on credit indices are linked to the weighted average spread across the underlying reference obligations included in a particular index.

4 Upfront premiums generally related to payments received at the initiation of the agreement to compensate the differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and current market conditions (credit spreads, interest rates and other relevant factors).

At July 31, 2013, the Fund has $370,000, $680,000 and $470,000 segregated as collateral with Bank of America Corp., Deutsche Bank AG, and UBS AG, respectively, for open credit default swap contracts.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

The following is a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2013. Please see below for information on the Fund’s policy regarding the objectives and strategies for using options, swap contracts, futures contracts, and forward foreign currency contracts.

Options

The Fund purchased and wrote call and put options, respectively, on foreign indices, and entered into closing transactions with respect to such options to terminate an existing position. Such call and put options are used to replicate the performance of an index. Writing call options serves as a limited short hedge because declines in the value of the hedged investment would be offset to the extent of the premium received for writing the option. However, if the security appreciates to a price higher than the strike price of the call option, it can be expected that the option will be exercised, and the Fund will be obligated to sell the security at less than its market value or will be obligated to purchase the security at a price greater than that at which the security must be sold under the option. Writing put options serves as a limited long hedge because increases in the value of the hedged investment would be offset to the extent of the premium received for writing the option. However, if the security depreciates to a price lower than the strike price of the put option, it can be expected that the put option will be exercised, and the Fund will be obligated to purchase the security at more than its market value. The Fund segregates liquid assets to cover its obligations under its option contracts.

When the Fund writes a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options which expire unexercised are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds from or offset against amounts paid on the underlying transaction to determine the realized gain or loss on such underlying transaction. When the Fund writes an option, it has no control over whether the option will be exercised, and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the instrument underlying the written option. Writing options entails the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

Options traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market, and which are not quoted by NASDAQ, are valued at the last sale price, if available, otherwise, at the last quoted bid price, and are generally categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. The value of an option position will reflect, among other things, the implied price volatility of the underlying investment, the current market value of the underlying investment, the time remaining until expiration of the option, the relationship of the strike price to the market price of the underlying investment, and general market conditions. Options that expire unexercised have no value. Options used by the Fund include American-style options, which can be exercised at any time prior to the expiration date of the option. This is in contrast to European-style options which can only be exercised at expiration of the option.

The Fund effectively terminates its right or obligation under an option by entering into a closing transaction. Closing transactions permit the Fund to realize the profit or limit the loss on an option position prior to its exercise or expiration.

If the Fund is unable to effect a closing transaction for an option it purchased, it would have to exercise the option to realize any profit. The inability to enter into a closing purchase transaction for a covered call option written by the Fund could cause material losses because the Fund would be unable to sell the investment used as a cover for the written option until the option expires or is exercised.

The writing and purchasing of options is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. Imperfect correlation between the options and securities markets may detract from the effectiveness of attempted hedging. Transactions using OTC options (other than purchased options) expose the Fund to counterparty risk. To the extent required by Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidelines, the Fund will not enter into any such transactions unless it owns either (i) an offsetting (“covered”) position in securities, other options, or futures or (ii) cash and liquid obligations with a value sufficient at all times to cover its potential obligations to the extent not covered as provided in (i) above. The Fund will also earmark or set aside cash and/or appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account as required by SEC and U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. Assets used as cover or held in a segregated account cannot be sold while the position in the corresponding option or futures contract is open, unless they are replaced with similar assets. As a result, the commitment of a large portion of the Fund’s assets to earmarking or segregated accounts as a cover could impede portfolio management or the Fund’s ability to meet redemption requests or other current obligations.

Swap Contracts

Credit Default Swaps. The Fund entered into credit default swap contracts during the period ended July 31, 2013. Swap contracts are privately negotiated agreements between the Fund and a counterparty. The Fund uses credit default swap contracts to create synthetic long exposure to domestic indices and sovereign debt securities. The Fund segregates liquid assets to cover its obligations under its credit default swap contracts.

 

The Statement of Investments should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements which are included in the Fund’s audited annual report and unaudited semi-annual report.

Nationwide Alternatives Allocation Fund

 

As the seller in a credit default swap contract, the Fund receives from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract, provided that no credit event or default (or similar event) occurs. However, the Fund is required to pay the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default (or similar event) by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign issuer, on the debt obligation. In return, if no credit event or default (or similar event) occurs, the Fund keeps the stream of payments and would have no payment of obligations.

If a credit event or default (or similar event) were to occur, the Fund either (i) pays to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and takes delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index, or (ii) pays a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. By selling a credit default swap contract, the Fund effectively adds economic leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.

Credit default swaps on sovereign issues involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. The Fund uses credit default swaps on sovereign issues to take a long position to replicate performance of a particular security.

Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. These indices are made up of reference credits that are judged by a poll of dealers to be the most liquid entities in the credit default swap market based on the sector of the index. Components of the indices include high-yield securities. Credit indices are traded using credit default swaps with standardized terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if there is a default, the credit event is settled based on the name’s weight in the index. For most indices, each name has an equal weight in the index. The composition of the indices changes periodically. The use of credit default swaps on indices is often less expensive than it would be to buy many issuer-specific credit default swaps to achieve a similar effect.

Credit default swaps are marked-to-market daily based on valuations from independent pricing services. Pricing services utilize comparisons to two valuation sources. If the valuations differ by more than 100 basis points against the notional amount, further investigation with the pricing services takes place. Credit default swaps are generally categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy.

Implied credit spreads are utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on sovereign issues and credit indices, and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. Implied credit spreads utilized in valuing the Fund’s investments as of July 31, 2013 are disclosed in the Statement of Investments. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of selling protection on such entity’s debt, and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swap agreements on credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting value serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

Certain clearinghouses currently offer clearing for limited types of derivatives transactions, such as interest and credit derivatives. In a cleared derivative transaction, the Fund typically enters into the transaction with a financial institution counterparty, and performance of the transaction is effectively guaranteed by a central clearinghouse, thereby reducing or eliminating the Fund’s exposure to the credit risk of its original counterparty. The Fund will be required to post specified levels of margin with the clearinghouse or at the instruction of the clearinghouse; the margin required by a clearinghouse may be greater than the margin the Fund would be required to post in an uncleared transaction. Only a limited number of transactions are currently eligible for clearing.

Equity Swaps. The Fund entered into equity swap contracts to invest in a market without owning or taking physical custody of securities in various circumstances. Equity swaps are also used to provide particular index exposure. The counterparty to an equity swap contract is a financial institution. The Fund’s equity swap contracts are structured in a manner in which the counterparty and the Fund each agree to pay the other party the difference between the relative investment performances that would have been achieved if the notional amount of the equity swap contract had been invested in the particular indices. The Fund has segregated liquid assets to cover its obligations under the equity swap contracts.

The Fund entered into equity swaps on a net basis, which means that the two payment streams are netted out, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. Payments are made at the conclusion of an equity swap contract or periodically during its term. Equity swaps normally do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to equity swaps is normally limited to the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually obligated to make. If the other party to an equity swap defaults, the Fund’s risk of loss consists of the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive, if any. Equity swaps are valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date and are generally categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy.

Futures Contracts

The Fund is subject to equity price and interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund entered into financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) to meet the Fund’s investment objectives and to obtain and/or manage exposure related to the value of equities and interest rates. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or currency amount.

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures contracts for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of the futures contracts and the underlying assets. The Fund’s investments in futures contracts entail limited counterparty credit risk because the Fund invests only in exchange-traded futures contracts, which are settled through a clearing house and whose fulfillment is guaranteed by the credit of the exchange.

 

The Statement of Investments should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements which are included in the Fund’s audited annual report and unaudited semi-annual report.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

The Fund is subject to foreign currency exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its objectives. The Fund entered into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency and/or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a foreign currency. A forward foreign currency contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. Forward foreign currency contracts are generally valued at the mean of the last quoted bid and ask prices, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, and are generally categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. A forward foreign currency contract is adjusted daily by the exchange rate of the underlying currency, and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date. Forward foreign currency contracts entail the risk of unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar, and the risk that the counterparties to the contracts may be unable to meet their obligations under the contract.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Bond Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2013. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Bond Index Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2013. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Core Plus Bond Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2013. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

At July 31, 2013, 100% of the market value of the Fund was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

During the period ended July 31, 2013, there were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

 

The Statement of Investments should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements which are included in the Fund’s audited annual report and unaudited semi-annual report.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

At July 31, 2013, 100% of the market value of the Fund was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

During the period ended July 31, 2013, there were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

 

The Statement of Investments should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements which are included in the Fund’s audited annual report and unaudited semi-annual report.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Destination 2050 Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

At July 31, 2013, 100% of the market value of the Fund was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

During the period ended July 31, 2013, there were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

Nationwide Destination 2055 Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

At July 31, 2013, 100% of the market value of the Fund was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

During the period ended July 31, 2013, there were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Enhanced Income Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2013. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

At July 31, 2013, 100% of the market value of the Fund was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

During the period ended July 31, 2013, there were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

The following is a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2013. Please see below for information on the Fund’s policy regarding the objectives and strategies for using futures contracts.

 

The Statement of Investments should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements which are included in the Fund’s audited annual report and unaudited semi-annual report.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Fund

 

The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund entered into financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) to gain exposure to the value of equities. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or currency amount.

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures contracts for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of the futures contracts and the underlying assets. The Fund’s investments in futures contracts entail limited counterparty credit risk because the Fund invests only in exchange-traded futures contracts, which are settled through a clearing house and whose fulfillment is guaranteed by the credit of the exchange.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Growth Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2013. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Inflation-Protected Securities Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2013. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Nationwide International Index Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2013. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Nationwide International Index Fund

 

During the period ended July 31, 2013, the Fund held 3 common stock investments that were categorized as Level 3 investments which were each valued at $0.

The FVC continues to evaluate any information that could cause an adjustment to the fair value for these investments, such as market news, the progress of judicial and regulatory proceedings, and subadviser recommendations.

The following is a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2013. Please see below for information on the Fund’s policy regarding the objectives and strategies for using futures contracts.

Futures Contracts

The Fund is subject to equity price and currency risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund entered into financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) to gain exposure to the value of equities and foreign currencies. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or currency amount.

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures contracts for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of the futures contracts and the underlying assets. The Fund’s investments in futures contracts entail limited counterparty credit risk because the Fund invests only in exchange-traded futures contracts, which are settled through a clearing house and whose fulfillment is guaranteed by the credit of the exchange.

The following tables provide a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2013:

Statement of Investments (Continued)

Nationwide International Value Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2013. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

Nationwide Investor Destinations Aggressive Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

At July 31, 2013, 100% of the market value of the Fund was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

During the period ended July 31, 2013, there were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

 

The Statement of Investments should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements which are included in the Fund’s audited annual report and unaudited semi-annual report.

Nationwide Investor Destinations Moderately Aggressive Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2013. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Mid Cap Market Index Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2013. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

The following is a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2013. Please see below for information on the Fund’s policy regarding the objectives and strategies for using futures contracts.

Futures Contracts

The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund entered into financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) to gain exposure to the value of equities. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or currency amount.

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures contracts for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of the futures contracts and the underlying assets. The Fund’s investments in futures contracts entail limited counterparty credit risk because the Fund invests only in exchange-traded futures contracts, which are settled through a clearing house and whose fulfillment is guaranteed by the credit of the exchange.

The following table provides a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2013:

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Money Market Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2013. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Retirement Income Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

At July 31, 2013, 100% of the market value of the Fund was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

During the period ended July 31, 2013, there were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

Nationwide S&P 500 Index Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2013. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

The following is a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2013. Please see below for information on the Fund’s policy regarding the objectives and strategies for using futures contracts.

The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund entered into financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) to gain exposure to the value of equities. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or currency amount.

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures contracts for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of the futures contracts and the underlying assets. The Fund’s investments in futures contracts entail limited counterparty credit risk because the Fund invests only in exchange-traded futures contracts, which are settled through a clearing house and whose fulfillment is guaranteed by the credit of the exchange.

The following table provides a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2013:

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Short Duration Bond Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2013. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Small Cap Index Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2013. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Nationwide Small Cap Index Fund

 

Amounts designated as “—”, which may include fair valued securities, are zero or have been rounded to zero.

During the period ended July 31, 2013, there were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

During the period ended July 31, 2013, the Fund held 2 common stock investments that were categorized as Level 3 investments which were each valued at $0.

The FVC continues to evaluate any information that could cause an adjustment to the fair value for these investments, such as market news, the progress of judicial and regulatory proceedings, and subadviser recommendations.

The following is a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2013. Please see below for information on the Fund’s policy regarding the objectives and strategies for using futures contracts.

Futures Contracts

The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund entered into financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) to gain exposure to the value of equities. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or currency amount.

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures contracts for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of the futures contracts and the underlying assets. The Fund’s investments in futures contracts entail limited counterparty credit risk because the Fund invests only in exchange-traded futures contracts, which are settled through a clearing house and whose fulfillment is guaranteed by the credit of the exchange.

The following table provides a summary of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of July 31, 2013:

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Nationwide Small Company Growth Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

At July 31, 2013, 100% of the market value of the Fund was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

During the period ended July 31, 2013, there were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

 

The Statement of Investments should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements which are included in the Fund’s audited annual report and unaudited semi-annual report.

Statement of Investments (Continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Nationwide U.S. Small Cap Value Fund

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Mutual Fund Trust’s (the “Trust”) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA”), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.

The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below.

 

  Ÿ   Level 1      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  Ÿ   Level 2      Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  Ÿ   Level 3      Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

An investment’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust’s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC (“NFM”), to assign fair value. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee (“FVC”) to assign these fair valuations.

The FVC follows guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees to assign the fair value. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees.

Securities may be fair valued in a variety of circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund’s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer’s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security.

The fair valuation of securities takes into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, including, but not limited to, the prices of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, anticipated cash flows, the nature and duration of any restrictions on transfer, book values, and other information relevant to the investment. Methods utilized to determine fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. Fair valuations may also take into account significant events that occur before Valuation Time but after the close of the principal market on which a security trades that materially affect the value of such security.

The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2013. Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.
