NTC Nuveen Connecticut Quality Municipal Income Fund

Example

This Example is intended to help you to compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of your shares at the end of those periods. It assumes a 5% return each year and no change in expenses. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

You would pay the following expenses on the same investment if you did not sell your shares:

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 32.04% of the average value of its portfolio.

smaller companies) that the investment adviser believes offer opportunities for capital growth, but also a considerable portion of its assets in bonds (including mortgage-backed securities) in order to generate investment income. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Fund allocates approximately 38% of its net assets in U.S. stocks, approximately 19% in international stocks and approximately 37% in bonds, including the Nationwide Contract. The Fund is designed for investors who have a lower tolerance for risk than more aggressive investors and who are seeking both capital growth and income. The Fund is also designed for investors who have a longer time horizon and who are willing to accept moderate short-term price fluctuations in exchange for potential longer-term results.

Smaller company risk – smaller companies are usually less stable in price and less liquid than larger, more established companies. Smaller companies are more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business and economic developments and may have more limited resources. Therefore, they generally involve greater risk.

Fixed-income securities risk – investments in fixed-income securities, such as bonds or other investments with debt-like characteristics, subject the Fund to interest rate risk, credit risk and prepayment and call risk, which may affect the value of your investment. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of fixed-income securities will decline when interest rates rise. Prices of longer-term securities generally change more in response to interest rate changes than prices of shorter-term securities. To the extent a Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in fixed-income securities with longer-term maturities, rising interest rates are more likely to cause the value of the Fund’s investments to decline significantly. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a bond may be unable to pay interest or principal when due. If an issuer defaults, the Fund may lose money. Changes in a bond issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perceptions of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of a bond. Prepayment and call risk is the risk that certain fixed-income securities will be paid off by the issuer more quickly than anticipated. If this occurs, the Underlying Fund may be required to invest the proceeds in securities with lower yields.

Extension risk – when interest rates rise, certain bond obligations, such as mortgage-backed securities, will be paid in full by the issuer more slowly than anticipated. This can cause the market value of the security to fall because the market may view its interest rate as low for a longer-term investment.

Mortgage-backed securities risk – mortgage-backed securities are generally subject to the same types of risk that apply to other fixed-income securities, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, prepayment and call risk and extension risk. Through its investments in mortgage-backed securities, an Underlying Fund may have some exposure to subprime loans, as well as to the mortgage and credit markets generally. Subprime loans, which are loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories, generally have higher default rates than loans that meet government underwriting requirements.

Index fund risk – an Underlying Fund that seeks to match the performance of an index does not use defensive strategies or attempt to reduce its exposure to poor performing securities. Further, correlation between an Underlying Fund’s performance and that of the index may be negatively affected by the Underlying Fund’s expenses, changes in the composition of the index, and the timing of purchase and redemption of Underlying Fund shares.

Derivatives risk – derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security, commodity, measure or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the derivative itself, may not perform as expected. Normally derivatives involve leverage, which means that their use can significantly magnify the effect of price movements of the underlying securities or reference measures, disproportionately increasing an Underlying Fund’s losses and reducing the Underlying Fund’s opportunities for gains. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, including a loss that may be greater than the amount invested. They also present default risks if the counterparty to a derivatives contract fails to fulfill its obligations to the Underlying Fund. Certain derivatives held by an Underlying Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position.

Liquidity risk – when there is little or no active trading market for specific types of securities or instruments, it can become more difficult to sell the securities or instruments at or near their perceived value. An inability to sell a portfolio position can adversely affect a Fund’s value or prevent the Fund from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities. Liquidity risk also includes the risk that the Fund will experience significant net redemptions of its shares at a time when it cannot find willing buyers for its portfolio securities or can only sell its portfolio securities at a material loss. To meet redemption requests, the Fund may be forced to sell other securities or instruments that are more liquid, but at an unfavorable time and conditions.

Nondiversified fund risk – because the Fund may hold large positions in the Underlying Funds or the Nationwide Contract, an increase or decrease in the value of the shares or interests issued by these investments may have a greater impact on the Fund’s value and total return.

If the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, you may lose money.

Performance

The following bar chart and table can help you evaluate the Fund’s potential risks. The bar chart shows how the Fund’s annual total returns have varied from year to year. These returns do not reflect the impact of sales charges. If sales charges were included, the annual total returns would be lower than those shown. The table compares the Fund’s average annual total returns to the returns of a broad-based securities index. The table also compares the Fund’s average annual total returns to a hypothetical composite index, which is a representation of the performance of each Fund’s asset classes according to their respective weightings. The Adviser has replaced the S&P 500 Index with the Russell 3000 Index as the Fund’s primary benchmark because the Russell 3000 Index includes small- and mid-capitalization stocks in addition to large-capitalization stocks. As of March 1, 2014, the Fund replaced the hypothetical composite index (the Former Moderate Fund Composite Index) with the Moderate Fund Composite Index. The Adviser believes that the Moderate Fund Composite Index provides a more accurate representation of the Fund’s current asset weightings than the Former Moderate Fund Composite Index. Remember, however, that past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily indicative of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available at no cost by visiting nationwide.com/mutualfunds or by calling 800-848-0920.

After-tax returns are shown in the following table for Class A shares only and will vary for other classes. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect state and local taxes. Your actual after-tax return depends on your personal tax situation and may differ from what is shown here. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors in tax-deferred arrangements, such as individual retirement accounts, 401(k) plans or certain other employer-sponsored retirement plans.

The inception date for Institutional Class shares is December 29, 2004. Pre-inception historical performance for Institutional Class shares is based on the previous performance of Service Class shares. Performance for these classes has been adjusted to reflect differences in sales charges between classes, but not differing expenses.

The Fund had not commenced offering Institutional Service Class shares as of the date of this Prospectus. Therefore, pre-inception historical performance for Institutional Service Class shares is based on the previous performance of Service Class shares. Performance for Institutional Service Class shares has not been adjusted to reflect a lower level of expenses than those that apply to Service Class shares.
