Investment Lineup enhancements are complete

Both enhancements have been completed, with Phase 1 completing in June, and Phase 2 completing in December.

These updates are part of our continued commitment to helping you build a stronger retirement, with investment options designed to support long term growth, diversification, and cost efficiency, all while keeping your experience simple and seamless.

What was accomplished

Savings Plus completed a thoughtful redesign of the Plan’s investment lineup. The updates included:

  • Adding new investment options to strengthen the lineup
  • Streamlining and replacing certain funds
  • Automatically mapping assets from closing funds into well aligned replacement options

All changes were completed automatically, and your account has already been updated to reflect the new investment lineup. No action was required, and nothing further is needed now.

What this means for you

  • Your account is up to date.
    All investment updates are already reflected in your balance and future contributions.

  • Your savings stayed on track.
    Assets in any closing funds were carefully mapped to comparable options to support continuity in your investment strategy.

  • You remain in control.
    You can review or update your investment choices at any time, if and when it makes sense for you.

Keep your momentum going

While no action is needed, it’s always a good idea to periodically review your retirement strategy to make sure it continues to align with your goals and time horizon. You can explore the current investment lineup, review fund fact sheets, or make changes whenever you choose, by visiting the Investment options & concepts webpage

If you’re enrolled in the Nationwide ProAccountTM professionally managed service, your portfolio already reflects these updates as part of your ongoing personalized strategy.

Frequently asked questions

As part of the recently completed investment lineup enhancements, three new funds, and a new Target Date series were added to the Plan 2025. These funds are designed to provide broader diversification, potential cost efficiencies, and strong long term investment options.

Small Mid Cap Fund
This actively managed fund seeks long term capital appreciation by investing in a select group of U.S. companies across the small and mid capitalization segments. It replaces the former Small Cap Fund and Mid Cap Fund, offering a more integrated approach to this portion of the market.

Small Mid Cap Index Fund
This passively managed fund seeks to match the price and yield performance of its underlying index, before fees and expenses. It replaces the Small Cap Index Fund and Mid Cap Index Fund, providing indexed exposure across both market segments in a single option.

Stable Value Fund
The Stable Value Fund is designed to help preserve capital while providing steady returns through interest income. It invests primarily in high quality fixed income securities and insurance contracts, offering stability and liquidity for participants seeking a lower risk investment option.

Target Date Funds
Savings Plus Target Date Funds were replaced with State Street Target Date Funds. You can learn more about the State Street target date funds by reviewing the fund fact sheet.

If you held assets in a Savings Plus Target Date Fund prior to the investment lineup update, those assets were automatically transitioned on December 19, 2025 to the corresponding State Street Target Retirement Fund with the same target retirement year. This transition was completed seamlessly to maintain continuity in your investment strategy while aligning with the Plan’s enhanced target date fund structure.

If you held assets in the Short Term Investment Fund – PST, those assets were automatically transferred on December 19, 2025 to the new Stable Value Fund – PST. This transition provided continued access to a capital preservation focused investment option.

No action is required. All fund mapping was completed automatically, and your investments are already reflected in the updated lineup. If you were invested in a fund that was closed or removed, your assets were transferred to a corresponding investment option selected by the Plan.

Your future contribution elections were also updated automatically. Contributions are now directed to the corresponding investment options in the new lineup, ensuring a seamless transition without requiring any action from you.

The Plan regularly reviews its investment structure to ensure it continues to support participants’ retirement goals. These enhancements were made to streamline the lineup, improve diversification, and — where possible — offer lower cost investment options that align with industry best practices and fiduciary standards.

No. The fund mapping and investment lineup updates were completed automatically, and no fees were charged as part of this process.

The updated investment lineup is designed to support long term growth and diversification. While investment performance will vary over time, these changes provide a strong foundation for your retirement strategy. You may review or adjust your investments at any time to ensure they continue to reflect your goals and risk tolerance.

No. These updates are not a reaction to short term market conditions. They are part of the Plan’s ongoing review process to maintain a high quality, well structured investment lineup that supports long term retirement success, regardless of market fluctuations.
