Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 461 of the
Securities Act of 1933, Nationwide Investment Services Corporation, the national distributor, respectfully requests acceleration of the effective date of the registration statement. It is desired that the registration
statement become effective on August 6, 2021.
The undersigned is an Officer of
Nationwide Investment Services Corporation and is duly authorized to request accelerated effectiveness of the registration statement.
In addition, Nationwide Investment
Services Corporation acknowledges that:
•
|
should the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with
respect to the filing;
|
•
|
the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the registrant of its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the
disclosure in the filing; and
|
•
|
the registrant may not assert this action as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any other party under the federal securities laws of the United States.
|
Please call M. Andrew Kress at

Sincerely,
Nationwide Investment Services
