Nationwide Indexed Principal Protection is a group fixed indexed annuity issued by Nationwide Life Insurance Company and held in the general account. Guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.
Target Date Funds invest in a wide variety of underlying funds to help reduce investment risk. So, in addition to the expenses of the Target Date Funds, you pay a proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying funds. These funds use a strategy that reallocates equity exposure to a higher percentage of fixed investments over time. Like other funds, Target Date Funds are subject to market risk and loss. Loss of principal can occur at any time, including before, at or after the target date. There is no guarantee that target date funds will provide enough income for retirement.
