Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2

The NVIT Managed American Funds Asset Allocation Fund (the Asset Allocation Fund or the Fund) seeks to provide a high total return (including income and capital gains) consistent with preservation of capital over the long term.

Strategy · summarised

The fund is a fund-of-funds that invests a majority of its assets in a diversified portfolio of American Funds mutual funds, with the remainder allocated to a volatility overlay managed by a subadviser. The overlay uses stock index futures to adjust the fund's overall equity exposure between 0% and 80% depending on market conditions, buying futures when volatility is low and selling or shorcing them when volatility is high. The filing states that the volatility overlay may not successfully reduce volatility and could result in underperformance or losses greater than if the fund did not implement it, and that use of leverage in the strategy may cause performance to be more volatile than without leverage.
