“APPENDIX – Additional Information about the Underlying Funds” beginning on page 61 of the prospectus is revised to replace the reference to the NVIT U.S. 130/30 Equity Fund with the following:
 
U.S. Stocks
 
NVIT U.S. 130/30 EQUITY FUND or NATIONWIDE U.S. 130/30 EQUITY PORTFOLIO each seeks long-term growth of capital by taking long and short positions in stocks of U.S. companies. Each Fund invests approximately 30% of its net assets in short positions (i.e., stocks that the subadviser deems unattractive) and approximately 130% of the Fund’s net assets will be in long positions (i.e., stocks that the subadviser deems attractive), resulting in approximately 100% net equity exposure. To execute this strategy, each Fund currently intends to gain its short equity exposure entirely through the use of swap contracts and its long equity exposure through the use of swaps and/or by investing directly in stocks.
