In order to purchase this contract, the purchaser must be an advisory client of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC or its affiliates ("JPMS") and pay a fee to JPMS for advisory services. JPMS is not endorsed by or affiliated with Nationwide. Nationwideis not responsible for the advisory services or advice provided by JPMS to Contract Owners. Once issued, the contract will operate as described herein regardless of whether the Contract Owner continues to employ the services of JPMS as an investment adviser.
Under state insurance laws, Contract Owners have the right, during a limited period of time, to examine their contract and decide if they want to keep it or cancel it. This right is referred to as a "free look" right. The length of this time period depends on state law and may vary depending on whether the purchase is a replacement of another annuity contract. For ease of administration, Nationwide will honor any free look cancellation request that is in good order and received at the Service Center or postmarked within 30 days after the contract issue date (see Right to Examine and Cancel and Service Requests in the statutory prospectus).
If the Contract Owner elects to cancel the contract pursuant to the free look provision, where required by law, Nationwide will return the greater of the Contract Value or the amount of purchase payment(s) applied during the free look period, less any withdrawals from the contract, and applicable federal and state income tax withholding. Otherwise, Nationwide will return the Contract Value, less any withdrawals from the contract, and applicable federal and state income tax withholding (see Right to Examine and Cancel in the statutory prospectus).
You should review the statutory prospectus, or consult with your financial professional, for additional information about the specific cancellation terms that apply.
Additional information about certain investment products, including variable annuities, has been prepared by the SEC'sstaff and is available at Investor.gov.
This contract is available through third-party financial intermediaries who charge an investment advisory fee for their services, and these fees are in addition to contract fees and expenses described in this prospectus. If the Contract Ownerelects to pay the investment advisory fees from the Contract Value, this may reduce the death benefit and other benefits under the contract, may be subject to federal and state income taxes, and may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty.

RISKS
Risk of Loss
Contract Owners of variable annuities can lose money by investing in the contract,
including loss of principal (see Principal Risks in the statutory prospectus).
Not a Short-Term
Investment
The contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who
needs ready access to cash. Nationwide has designed the contract to offer features,
pricing, and investment options that encourage long-term ownership (see Principal Risks in
the statutory prospectus).
The benefit of tax deferral also means that the contract is more beneficial to investors with
a long time horizon (see Principal Risks in the statutory prospectus).
Risks Associated with
Investment Options
• Investment in this contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance of the
investment options chosen by the Contract Owner.
• Each investment option has its own unique risks.
• Review the prospectuses and disclosures for the investment options before making an
investment decision.
See Principal Risks in the statutory prospectus.
Insurance Company Risks
Investment in the contract is subject to the risks associated with Nationwide, including that
any obligations, guarantees, or benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of
Nationwide. More information about Nationwide, including its financial strength ratings, is
available by contacting Nationwide at the address and/or toll-free phone number indicated
in Service Requests (see Principal Risks in the statutory prospectus).
4
RESTRICTIONS
Investments
• Nationwide reserves the right to add, remove, and substitute investment options
available under the contract (see The Sub-Accounts and Underlying Mutual Funds in the
statutory prospectus).
• Transfers between Sub-Accounts are subject to policies designed to deter short-term
and excessively frequent transfers. Nationwide may restrict the form in which transfer
requests will be accepted (see Transfer Restrictions in the statutory prospectus).
Optional Benefits
None
TAXES
Tax Implications
• Consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in and
payments received under this contract.
• Earnings in the contract are taxed at ordinary income tax rates at the time of
withdrawals and there may be a tax penalty if withdrawals are taken before the Contract
Owner reaches age 59½.
See Appendix C: Contract Types and Tax Information in the statutory prospectus.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Investment Professional
Compensation
Some investment advisers or financial professionals receive compensation for selling the
contract. Compensation can take the form of indirect compensation in that Nationwide may
share the revenue it earns on this contract with the investment adviser or financial
professional's firm. This conflict of interest may influence an investment adviser or financial
professional, as these investment advisers or financial professionals may have a financial
incentive to offer or recommend this contract over another investment (see Distribution,
Promotional, and Sales Expenses in the statutory prospectus).
Exchanges
Some investment advisers or financial professionals may have a financial incentive to offer
an investor a new contract in place of the one he/she already owns. An investor should
only exchange his/her contract if he/she determines, after comparing the features, fees,
and risks of both contracts, that it is preferable for him/her to purchase the new contract,
rather than to continue to own the existing one (see Replacements and Distribution,
Promotional, and Sales Expenses in the statutory prospectus).
5
Overview of the Contract
Purpose of the Contract
The contract is intended to be a long-term investment vehicle to assist investors in saving for and living in retirement. Nationwide has designed the contract to offer features, pricing, and investment options that encourage long-term ownership. The contract can help supplement retirement income through the annuitization feature, which provides a stream of periodic income payments. During the years leading up to those income payments, the Contract Ownermanages his/her assets in the contract according to their specific goals and risk preferences by directing the allocation and reallocation among a variety of investment options. Contract growth is tax-deferred, meaning that gains in the contract are not taxable until withdrawn from the contract. Finally, in the event that the Annuitant dies before beginning income payments, the contract offers a death benefit.
Prospective purchasers should consult with an investment adviser or financial professional to determine whether this contract is appropriate for them, taking into consideration their particular needs, including investment objectives, risk tolerance, investment time horizon, marital status, tax situation, and other personal characteristics. Generally speaking, this contract is intended to provide benefits to a single individual and his/her beneficiaries. The contract is not intended to be used by institutional investors, in connection with other Nationwide contracts that have the same Annuitant, or in connection with other Nationwide contracts that have different Annuitants but the same Contract Owner. It is not intended to be sold to a terminally ill Contract Owner or Annuitant.
If the Contract Owner elects to pay the investment advisory fees from the Contract Value, this may reduce the death benefit and other benefits under the contract, may be subject to federal and state income taxes, and may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty (see Charges and Deductions, Surrender/Withdrawal Prior to Annuitization, and Appendix C: Contract Types and Tax Information in the statutory prospectus).
Phases of the Contract
The contract exists in two separate phases: accumulation (savings) and annuitization (income). During the accumulation phase, the contract offers a variety of investment options to which the Contract Owner can allocate and reallocate his/her Contract Value. The investment options available under the contract consist of Sub-Accounts that invest in underlying mutual funds, which offer a variable rate of return. Additional information about the underlying mutual funds is available in Appendix: Underlying Mutual Funds Available Under the Contract.
During the annuitization phase, Nationwide makes periodic income payments to the Annuitant. At the time of annuitization, the Annuitant elects the duration of the annuity payments - either for a fixed period of time or for the duration of the Annuitant's (and possibly the Annuitant's spouse's) life. Annuity payments are fixed, meaning each annuity payment will be the same amount. After annuitization begins, the only value associated with the contract is the stream of annuity payments; unless otherwise specified in the annuity option, the Annuitant cannot withdraw value from the contract over and above the annuity payments. Additionally, once annuitization has begun, there is no death benefit, which means that upon the death of the Annuitant (and the Annuitant's spouse if a joint annuity option was elected), all payments stop and the contract terminates, unless the particular annuitization option provides otherwise.
Contract Features
Investment Options.Contract Owners can allocate Contract Value to Sub-Accounts that invest in underlying mutual funds. Contract Owners can reallocate those assets at their discretion, subject to certain restrictions.
Deposits to the Contract.Contract Owners can apply additional purchase payments to the contract until the Annuitization Date, subject to certain restrictions.
Withdrawals from the Contract.Contract Owners can withdraw some or all of their Contract Value at any time prior to annuitization, subject to certain restrictions. After annuitization, withdrawals other than annuity payments are not permitted.
Death Benefit. During the accumulation phase, the contract contains a standard death benefit (Contract Value) at no additional charge.
Annuity Payments. On the Annuitization Date, Nationwide will make annuity payments based on the annuity payment option chosen prior to annuitization.
6
Tax Deferral.Contract Owners will not be taxed on any earnings on the assets in the contract until such earnings are distributed from the contract. How each contract's distributions are taxed depends on the type of contract issued (see Appendix C: Contract Types and Tax Information in the statutory prospectus).
Cancellation of the Contract. Under state insurance laws, Contract Owners have the right, during a limited period of time, to examine their contract and decide if they want to keep it or cancel it. Nationwide will honor any free look cancellation request that is in good order and received at the Service Center or postmarked within 30 days after the contract issue date (see Right to Examine and Cancel and Service Requests in the statutory prospectus).
Contract Owner Services. The contract offers several services at no additional charge to assist Contract Owners in managing their contract, including:

Buying the Contract
Minimum Initial and Subsequent Purchase Payments
All purchase payments must be paid in the currency of the United States of America. The minimum initial purchase payment is $50,000. A Contract Owner will meet the minimum initial purchase payment requirement if purchase payments equal to the required minimum are made over the course of the first Contract Year. The minimum subsequent purchase payment is $5,000.
Some states have different minimum initial and subsequent purchase payment amounts, and subsequent purchase payments may not be permitted in all states. See Appendix B: State Variations in the statutory prospectus for information on initial and subsequent purchase payment requirements in a particular state.
Nationwide reserves the right to refuse any purchase payment that would result in the cumulative total for all contracts issued by Nationwide or its affiliates or subsidiaries on the life of any one Annuitant or owned by any one Contract Owner to exceed $1,000,000.Its decision as to whether or not to accept a purchase payment in excess of that amount will be based on one or more factors, including, but not limited to: age, spouse age (if applicable), Annuitant
7
age, state of issue, total purchase payments, optional benefits elected, current market conditions, and current hedging costs. All such decisions will be based on internally established actuarial guidelines and will be applied in a non-discriminatory manner. In the event that Nationwide does not accept a purchase payment under these guidelines, the purchase payment will be immediately returned in its entirety in the same manner as it was received. If Nationwideaccepts the purchase payment, it will be applied to the contract immediately and will receive the next calculated Accumulation Unit value.Any references in this prospectus to purchase payment amounts in excess of $1,000,000 are assumed to have been approved by Nationwide.
Nationwide prohibits subsequent purchase payments made after death of the Contract Owner(s), the Annuitant, or Co-Annuitant. If upon notification of death of the Contract Owner(s), the Annuitant, or Co-Annuitant, it is determined that death occurred prior to a subsequent purchase payment being made, Nationwide reserves the right to return the purchase payment.
Dollar Limit Restrictions
Certain features of the contract have additional purchase payment and/or Contract Value limitations associated with them:
Annuitization. Annuity payment options will be limited if the Contract Owner submits total purchase payments in excess of $2,000,000. Furthermore, if the amount to be annuitized is greater than $5,000,000, Nationwide may limit both the amount that can be annuitized on a single life and the annuity payment options (see Annuity Payment Options in the statutory prospectus).
Application of Purchase Payments
Initial Purchase Payments
Initial purchase payments will be priced at the Accumulation Unit value next determined no later than two business days after receipt of an order to purchase if the application and all necessary information are complete and are received at the Service Center before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, which generally occurs at 4:00 p.m. EST. If the order is received after the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the initial purchase payment will be priced within two business days after the next Valuation Date.
If an incomplete application is not completed within five business days after receipt at the Service Center, the prospective purchaser will be informed of the reason for the delay. The purchase payment will be returned unless the prospective purchaser specifically consents to allow Nationwide to hold the purchase payment until the application is completed.
Subsequent Purchase Payments
Any subsequent purchase payment received at the Service Center (along with all necessary information) before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on any Valuation Date will be priced at the Accumulation Unit value next determined after receipt of the purchase payment. If a subsequent purchase payment is received at the Service Center (along with all necessary information) after the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, it will be priced at the Accumulation Unit value determined on the following Valuation Date.
Making Withdrawals: Accessing the Money in Your Contract
Surrender/Withdrawal Prior to Annuitization
Prior to annuitization and before the Annuitant's death, Contract Owners may generally withdraw some or all of their Contract Value. Withdrawals from the contract may be subject to federal income tax and/or a tax penalty (see Appendix C: Contract Types and Tax Information in the statutory prospectus). Withdrawal requests may be submitted in writing or by telephone to the Service Center and Nationwide may require additional information. Requests submitted by telephone may be subject to dollar amount limitations and may be subject to payment and other restrictions to prevent fraud. Nationwide reserves the right to require written requests to be submitted on current Nationwide forms for withdrawals. Nationwide reserves the right to remove the ability to submit requests by telephone upon written notice. Contact the Service Center for current limitations and restrictions. When taking a full surrender, Nationwide may require that the contract accompany the request. Nationwide may require a signature guarantee.
8
Surrender and withdrawal requests will receive the Accumulation Unit value next determined at the end of the current Valuation Period if the request and all necessary information is received at the Service Center before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally, 4:00 pm EST). If the request and all necessary information is received after the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the request will receive the Accumulation Unitvalue determined at the end of the next Valuation Day.
Nationwide will pay any amounts withdrawn from the Sub-Accounts within seven days after the request is received in good order at the Service Center (see Determining the Contract Value in the statutory prospectus). However, Nationwide may suspend or postpone payment when it is unable to price a purchase payment or transfer, or as permitted or required by federal securities laws and rules and regulations of the SEC.
Surrender/Withdrawal After Annuitization
After the Annuitization Date, withdrawals other than regularly scheduled annuity payments are not permitted.
9
Additional Information About Fees
The following tables describe the fees and expenses that a Contract Owner will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering or making withdrawals from the contract. The fees and expenses do not reflect any investment advisory fees paid to financial professionals from Contract Value or other assets owned by the Contract Owner; if those charges were reflected, the fees and expenses would be higher.
Any fees that a Contract Owner pays to JPMS or other financial professionals for advisory services related to the contract are in addition to the contract fees and expenses described in this section. There are no fees and expenses that a Contract Owner will pay at the time the contract is purchased, or surrendered, or when contract value is transferred between investment options.
The first table describes the fees and expenses that a Contract Owner will pay each year during the time that the Contract Owner owns the contract (not including underlying mutual fund fees and expenses). State premium taxes may also be deducted.
Annual Contract Expenses
Base Contract Expenses1 (assessed as an annualized percentage of Daily Net Assets)

Throughout the statutory prospectus, the Base Contract Expenses will be referred to as Mortality and Expense Risk Charge and Administrative Charge, as appropriate. The Administrative Charge is waived if the Contract Value, on the later of the Date of Issue or the most recent Quarterly Contract Anniversary, is greater than or equal to $1,000,000. If the Contract Value subsequently falls to less than $1,000,000 on the most recent Quarterly Contract Anniversary, the Administrative Charge will be reinstated for that quarter.
The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the underlying mutual funds that the Contract Owner may pay periodically during the life of the contract.

Example
This Example is intended to help Contract Owners compare the cost of investing in the contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include transaction expenses, annual contract expenses, and annual underlying mutual fund expenses. The fees and expenses do not reflect any investment advisory fees paid to financial professionals from Contract Value or other assets owned by the Contract Owner; if those charges were reflected, the fees and expenses would be higher.
The Example assumes:
a $100,000 investment in the contract for the time periods indicated;
a 5% return each year;
the maximum and the minimum annual underlying mutual fund expenses.
