10 In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, Nationwide Variable Insurance Trust's (the Trust ) investment adviser to the Fund, Nationwide Fund Advisors ( NFA ), assigns a fair value to Fund investments in accordance with a hierarchy that prioritizes the various types of inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy are summarized below. Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets Level 2 Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) Level 3 Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment s assigned level within the hierarchy. An investment s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair valuation in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used to value investments are not intended to indicate the risk associated with investing in those investments. The Trust s Board of Trustees (the Board of Trustees ) has delegated authority to NFA, and the Trust s administrator, Nationwide Fund Management LLC ( NFM ), to assign a fair value under certain circumstances, as described below, pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. NFA and NFM have established a Fair Valuation Committee ( FVC ) to assign these fair valuations. The fair value of a security may differ from its quoted or published price. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. Securities may be fair valued in certain circumstances, such as where (i) market quotations are not readily available; (ii) an independent pricing service does not provide a value or the value provided by an independent pricing service is determined to be unreliable in the judgment of NFA/NFM or its designee; (iii) a significant event has occurred that affects the value of the Fund s securities after trading has stopped (e.g., earnings announcements or news relating to natural disasters affecting an issuer s operations); (iv) the securities are illiquid; (v) the securities have defaulted or been delisted from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (vi) any other circumstance in which the FVC believes that market quotations do not accurately reflect the value of a security. The FVC will assign a fair value according to fair value methodologies. Information utilized by the FVC to obtain a fair value may include, among others, the following: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a combination of these and other methods. To arrive at the appropriate methodology, the FVC may consider a non-exclusive list of factors, which are specific to the security as well as whether the security is traded on the domestic or foreign markets. The FVC monitors the results of fair valuation determinations and regularly reports the results to the Board of Trustees. The Fund attempts to establish a price that it might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of that security. That said, there can be no assurance that the fair value assigned to a security is the price at which a security could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used to value the security. To the extent the inputs used are observable, these securities are classified as Level 2 investments; otherwise, they are classified as Level 3 investments within the hierarchy. The following table provides a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund s net assets as of September 30, Please refer to the Statement of Investments for additional information on portfolio holdings.

Transfers between levels are recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period.

11 (a) (b) During the period ended September 30, 2017, there were two transfers of asset-backed securities from Level 2 to Level 3. The market value at the time of the transfer was $16,043,962. The investments were previously valued using the last quoted sales price from the local exchange on which they traded and applying a fair value factor received from an independent fair value pricing service, resulting in the Level 2 classification. During the period, the FVC determined a fair value for these holdings, resulting in a Level 3 classification. During the period ended September 30, 2017, there was a transfer of an asset-backed security from Level 3 to Level 2. The market value at the time of the transfer was $4,707,829. The investment was previously valued using vendor provided broker quotes, resulting in a Level 3 classification. During the period, the security became valued via a vendor provided evaluated price, resulting in a Level 2 classification. The following is a reconciliation of assets for which Level 3 inputs were used in determining fair value: Asset-Backed Securities Total Balance as of 12/31/2016 $ 4,707,829 $ 4,707,829 Accrued Accretion/(Amortization) (991) (991) Realized Gain/(Loss) (14,142) (14,142) Change in Unrealized Appreciation/(Depreciation) 160, ,401 Purchases * 3,101,540 3,101,540 Sales (2,217,374) (2,217,374) Transfers Into Level 3 16,043,962 16,043,962 Transfers Out of Level 3 (4,707,829) (4,707,829) Balance as of 09/30/2017 $ 17,073,396 $ 17,073,396 Change in Unrealized Appreciation/(Depreciation) for Investments Still Held as of 09/30/2017 $ 160,401 $ 160,401 s designated as are zero or have been rounded to zero. * Purchases include all purchases of securities and securities received in corporate actions. The FVC continues to evaluate any information that could cause an adjustment to the fair value for these investments, such as market news, the progress of judicial and regulatory proceedings, and subadviser recommendations. The following is a summary of the Fund s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of September 30, Please see below for information on the Fund s policy regarding the objectives and strategies for using financial futures contracts. Futures Contracts The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its objective(s). The Fund entered into financial futures contracts ( futures contracts ) to hedge against changes in interest rates. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or currencies at a specific future date and at a specific price or currency amount. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate an initial margin deposit of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the futures contract s notional value. Under a futures contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to a broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the futures contract. Subsequent receipts or payments, known as variation margin receipts or payments, are made each day, depending on the fluctuation in the fair value of the futures contract, and are recognized by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Futures contracts are generally valued daily at their settlement price as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, and are generally categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures contracts for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of the futures contracts and the underlying assets. The following tables provide a summary of the Fund s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure as of September 30, 2017: Fair s of Derivatives not Accounted for as Hedging Instruments as of September 30, 2017 Assets: Fair Futures Contracts Interest rate risk Unrealized appreciation from futures contracts $ 1,228,986 Total $ 1,228,986 Liabilities: Fair Futures Contracts Interest rate risk Unrealized depreciation from futures contracts $ (2,410,730) Total $ (2,410,730)
