At the WealthManagement.com 2022 Industry Awards (the “Wealthies”), Nationwide Financial was recognized for its excellence in diversity equity and inclusion and income solutions.

Diversity Equity and Inclusion Award – Diverse Markets Initiative
Nationwide’s Diverse Markets Initiative received the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Award for its efforts to create awareness and understanding of the unique financial planning and retirement income needs of diverse and underserved consumer markets. The initiative advocates for a more equitable financial services industry and is committed to financial and retirement preparedness of various communities including Black, Hispanic, women and LGBTQ+. Designed to showcase a variety of client demographics to better understand the potential differences and similarities among these client bases, the Diverse Markets Initiative aims to partner with firms and advisors to make them aware, educated, and empathetic of these groups' needs.  

Asset Managers Award – Risk-Managed Income ETF Suite
As a first-of-its-kind options-based solution, Nationwide’s Risk-Managed Income ETF Suite earned the Asset Managers industry award. Nationwide’s suite targets high current income and seeks to provide a measure of downside protection in falling markets and the potential for upside participation in rising markets. Nationwide launched three of the of the four solutions in early 2022.   

By providing exposure to some of the most well-known domestic indexes, Nationwide Risk-Managed Income ETFs may provide investors with greater optionality for managing their exposure to different sources of risk and return while targeting secular opportunities as part of a diversified, core income allocation.
