Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 44.49% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund consists of two main components. First, a majority of its portfolio, referred to herein as the "Core Sleeve," operates as a "fund-of-funds" that invests primarily in mutual funds offered by Nationwide Variable Insurance Trust (each, an "Underlying Fund" or collectively, "Underlying Funds"). Each Underlying Fund invests directly in equity or fixed-income securities, as appropriate to its investment objective and strategies. The remainder of the Fund, referred to herein as the "Volatility Overlay," invests in short-term fixed-income securities (or Underlying Funds that themselves invest in such securities) or is held in cash. In an attempt to manage the volatility of the Fund's portfolio over a full market cycle, the Fund buys and sells stock index futures, which are derivatives. For these purposes, a full market cycle can be measured from a point in the market cycle (e.g., a peak or trough) to the corresponding point in the next market cycle. The Fund's short-term fixed-income securities and cash may be used to meet margin requirements and other obligations on the Fund's derivative positions. The combination of the Core Sleeve and the Volatility Overlay is intended to result in a single Fund that is designed to offer traditional long-term asset allocation blended with a strategy that seeks to mitigate risk and manage the Fund's volatility over a full market cycle. The Volatility Overlay may not be successful in reducing volatility, in particular, frequent or short-term volatility with little or no sustained market direction, and it is possible that the Volatility Overlay will result in underperformance or losses greater than if the Fund did not implement the Volatility Overlay.

The level of "volatility" of the Fund's portfolio reflects the degree to which the value of the Fund's portfolio may be expected to rise or fall within a period of time. A high level of volatility means that the Fund's value is expected to increase or decrease significantly over a period of time. A lower level of volatility means that the Fund's value is not expected to fluctuate so significantly. The Fund is intended to be used primarily in connection with guaranteed benefits available through variable annuity contracts issued by Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, "Nationwide Life"), and is designed to help reduce a contract owner's exposure to equity investments when equity markets are more volatile. The purpose of the Volatility Overlay is to minimize the costs and risks to Nationwide Life of supporting these guaranteed benefits. Although the reduction of equity exposure during periods of higher volatility is designed to decrease the risk of loss to your investment, it may prevent you from achieving higher investment returns. Further, the Fund's use of leverage in its strategies may cause the Fund's performance to be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged.

The Fund's Core Sleeve seeks a high level of total return through investments in both equity and fixed-income securities by investing in Underlying Funds that invest in equity securities, such as common stocks of U.S. and international companies that the investment adviser believes offer opportunities for capital growth, and fixed-income securities (including mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, and high-yield bonds, which are commonly known as "junk" bonds) in order to generate investment income. Some Underlying Funds use futures, forwards, swaps and options, which are derivatives, either to hedge against investment risks, to obtain exposure to certain securities or groups of securities, to take short positions in certain securities, or otherwise to increase returns. Consistent with this investment strategy, as of February 27, 2026, the Core Sleeve allocated approximately 50% of its net assets to equity securities (including international stocks and smaller company stocks) and approximately 50% of its net assets to bonds.

Although the amount of the Fund's assets allocated to the Core Sleeve was approximately 94% as of December 31, 2025, this amount may fluctuate within a general range of 90%-100% of the Fund's overall portfolio. Similarly, the amount of the Fund's assets allocated to the Volatility Overlay may fluctuate within a general range of 0%-10% in inverse correlation with the Core Sleeve, although this amount was approximately 6% as of December 31, 2025. The investment adviser generally buys or sells shares of Underlying Funds in order to meet or change target allocations or in response to shareholder redemption activity. The

Summary Prospectus April 30, 2026

NVIT Blueprint® Managed Growth & Income Fund

terms "Growth" and "Income" in the Fund's name do not refer to types of securities in which the Fund invests, but rather describe the Fund's investment objective of seeking a high level of total return, consisting of capital growth and investment income.

The Volatility Overlay is designed to manage the volatility of the Fund's portfolio over a full market cycle by using stock index futures to hedge against stock market risks and/or to increase or decrease the Fund's overall exposure to equity markets. The Volatility Overlay also invests in short-term fixed-income securities (or Underlying Funds that themselves invest in such securities) that may be used to meet margin requirements and other obligations of the Fund's futures positions and/or to reduce the Fund's overall equity exposure. When volatility is high or stock market values are falling, the Volatility Overlay will typically seek to decrease the Fund's equity exposure by holding fewer stock index futures or by taking short positions in stock index futures. A short sale strategy involves the sale by the Fund of securities it does not own with the expectation of purchasing the same securities at a later date at a lower price. When volatility is low or stock market values are rising, the Volatility Overlay may use stock index futures with the intention of maximizing stock market gains. These strategies may expose the Fund to leverage. Therefore, even though the Core Sleeve allocates close to 50% of its assets to equity investments, the Volatility Overlay will be used to increase or decrease the Fund's overall equity exposure within a general range of 0% to 65%, depending on market conditions.

Nationwide Fund Advisors ("NFA") is the investment adviser to the Fund and is also responsible for managing the Core Sleeve's investment in the Underlying Funds. Nationwide Asset Management, LLC, the Fund's subadviser, is responsible for managing the Volatility Overlay.

Although the Fund seeks to provide diversification across major asset classes, the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a small number of issuers (i.e., one or more Underlying Funds). However, the Fund may invest directly in securities and derivatives in addition to investing in Underlying Funds. Further, most of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests are diversified.

Principal Risks

The Fund cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objective.

As with any fund, the value of the Fund's investments-and therefore, the value of Fund shares-may fluctuate. These changes may occur because of:

Volatility Overlay risk - there are certain risks associated with the Volatility Overlay. These risks include that: (1) the Volatility Overlay may not be successful in reducing volatility, in particular, during periods of frequent or short-term volatility with little or no sustained market direction, and may result in

losses or underperformance; (2) the Volatility Overlay may cause the Fund to underperform in certain periods of rapidly increasing equity values, especially following sharp declines in equity values; (3) the Volatility Overlay is designed to reduce the market volatility risks of equity securities only, and does not take into account the volatility risks presented by other types of investments, such as debt securities or commodities; (4) the Volatility Overlay's managed volatility strategy may prevent you from achieving higher investment returns that may be available by investing in a comparable mutual fund without a similar volatility reduction strategy, and its use of derivatives will increase the Fund's expenses; (5) the Fund's use of leverage in order to reduce stock market losses or to maximize stock market gains could result in sudden or magnified losses in value. It therefore is possible that the Volatility Overlay will result in losses that are greater than if the Fund did not include the Volatility Overlay; and (6) if the Volatility Overlay does not successfully reduce the Fund's investment risks, or even if the Volatility Overlay is successful, the Fund may lose some or all of the value of its investment.

Management risk - the Fund is subject to the risk that the methods and analyses employed by the Fund's investment adviser or subadviser, or an Underlying Fund's subadviser, will not produce the desired results. This could cause the Fund to lose value or its performance to lag those of relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.

Fund-of-funds risk - there are certain risks associated with a structure whereby the Fund invests primarily in other mutual funds. These risks include that: (1) the Fund will indirectly pay a proportional share of the fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests; (2) the Fund's investment performance is directly tied to the performance of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. If one or more Underlying Funds fail to meet their investment objectives, the Fund's performance will be negatively affected; (3) the Fund is subject to different levels and combinations of risk based on its actual allocation among the various asset classes and Underlying Funds. The potential impact of the risks related to an asset class depends on the size of the Fund's investment allocation to it; (4) NFA's evaluations and allocation among asset classes and Underlying Funds may be incorrect; (5) the Adviser may add or delete Underlying Funds, or alter the Fund's asset allocation, at its discretion. Changes to the Fund's Underlying Funds or allocation (or the lack thereof) could affect both the level of risk and the potential for gain or loss; and (6) in selecting the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests, the Adviser is subject to a conflict of interest because the Adviser is also the investment adviser to most, if not all, of the Underlying Funds. Although the Fund may invest a portion of its assets in unaffiliated Underlying Funds, there is no assurance that it will do so. To the extent that it is appropriate or suitable for a Fund's investment objective, the Adviser expects to invest in affiliated Underlying Funds without considering or canvassing the universe of unaffiliated Underlying Funds available, even though there may (or may

Summary Prospectus April 30, 2026

NVIT Blueprint® Managed Growth & Income Fund

not) be one or more comparable unaffiliated Underlying Funds. The Adviser receives advisory fees from affiliated Underlying Funds and, therefore, has an incentive to invest the Fund's assets in affiliated Underlying Funds instead of unaffiliated Underlying Funds. In addition, the Adviser might have an interest in making an investment in an affiliated Underlying Fund, or in maintaining an existing investment in an affiliated Underlying Fund, in order to benefit that affiliated Underlying Fund (for example, by assisting the affiliated Underlying Fund in achieving or maintaining scale). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Adviser has a fiduciary duty to the Fund and must act in the best interest of the Fund.

Equity securities risk - stock markets are volatile. The price of an equity security fluctuates based on changes in a company's financial condition and overall market and economic conditions.

Fixed-income securities risk - investments in fixed-income securities, such as bonds, subject the Fund to interest rate risk, credit risk and prepayment and call risk, which may affect the value of your investment. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of fixed-income securities will decline when interest rates rise. Prices of longer-term securities generally change more in response to interest rate changes than prices of shorter-term securities. To the extent an Underlying Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in debt securities with longer-term maturities, rising interest rates are more likely to cause periods of increased volatility and redemptions, and may cause the value of the Fund's investments to decline significantly. The Federal Reserve Board continued to lower interest rates following a period of consistent rate increases, though it is unclear if such lowering will continue. The interest earned on an Underlying Fund's investments in fixed-income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates fall. Declines in interest rates increase the likelihood that debt obligations will be pre-paid, which, in turn, increases these risks. The Fund is subject to the risk that the income generated by its investments in fixed-income securities will not keep pace with inflation. Recent and potential future changes in government policy may affect interest rates.

Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a bond may default if it is unable to pay interest or principal when due. If an issuer defaults, the Underlying Fund, and therefore the Fund, will lose money. Changes in a bond issuer's credit rating or the market's perceptions of an issuer's creditworthiness also may affect the value of a bond. Prepayment and call risk is the risk that certain debt securities will be paid off by the issuer more quickly than anticipated. If this occurs, an Underlying Fund may be required to invest the proceeds in securities with lower yields.

U.S. government securities risk - not all obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. Some obligations are backed only by the credit of the issuing agency or instrumentality, and in some cases there is some risk of default by the issuer. Even if a security is backed by the

U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the United States, such guarantee applies only to the timely payment of interest and principal. Neither the U.S. government nor its agencies guarantee the market value of their securities, and interest rate changes, prepayments and other factors will affect the value of U.S. government securities. It is possible that issuers of U.S. government securities will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.

Market risk - the risk that one or more markets in which the Fund or an Underlying Fund invests will go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably. This occurs due to numerous factors, including interest rates, the outlook for corporate profits, the health of the national and world economies, and the fluctuation of other securities markets around the world. These risks may be magnified if certain social, political, economic and other conditions and events (such as natural disasters, epidemics and pandemics, terrorism, conflicts, trade disputes and social unrest or rapid technological developments such as artificial intelligence) adversely interrupt the global economy.

Cash position risk - the Fund or Underlying Fund may hold significant positions in cash or money market instruments. A larger amount of such holdings will cause the Fund to miss investment opportunities presented during periods of rising market prices.

Leverage risk - leverage risk is a direct risk of investing in the Fund. Leverage is investment exposure that exceeds the initial amount invested. Derivatives and other transactions that give rise to leverage may cause the Fund's performance to be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged. Leveraging also may require that the Fund liquidate portfolio securities when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations. Certain derivatives provide the potential for investment gain or loss that may be several times greater than the change in the value of an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency, resulting in the potential for a loss that may be substantially greater than the amount invested. Some leveraged investments have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment.

Smaller company risk - smaller companies are usually less stable in price and less liquid than larger, more established companies. Smaller companies are more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business and economic developments and may have more limited resources. Therefore, they generally involve greater risk.

Liquidity risk - when there is little or no active trading market for specific types of securities or instruments, it can become more difficult to sell the securities or instruments at or near their perceived value. An inability to sell a portfolio position can adversely affect the Fund's or Underlying Fund's value or prevent an Underlying Fund from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities. Liquidity risk also includes the risk that an Underlying Fund will experience significant net

Summary Prospectus April 30, 2026

NVIT Blueprint® Managed Growth & Income Fund

redemptions of its shares at a time when it cannot find willing buyers for its portfolio securities or instruments or can sell its portfolio securities or instruments only at a material loss. To meet redemption requests, an Underlying Fund may be forced to sell other securities or instruments that are more liquid, but at unfavorable times and conditions. Investments in foreign securities and high-yield bonds tend to have more exposure to liquidity risk than domestic securities and higher-rated bonds.

Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities risks - these securities generally are subject to the same types of risk that apply to other debt securities, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, and prepayment and call risk. Mortgage-backed securities also are subject to extension risk, which is the risk that when interest rates rise, certain mortgage-backed securities will be paid in full by the issuer more slowly than anticipated. This can cause the market value of the security to fall because the market may view its interest rate as low for a longer-term investment. Through its investments in mortgage-backed securities, the Fund or an Underlying Fund may have some exposure to subprime loans, as well as to the mortgage and credit markets generally. Subprime loans, which are loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories, generally have higher default rates than loans that meet government underwriting requirements. The credit quality of most asset-backed securities depends primarily on the credit quality of the assets underlying such securities, how well the entity issuing the security is insulated from the credit risk of the originator or any other affiliated entities, and the amount and quality of any credit enhancement of the securities.

High-yield bonds risk - investing in high-yield bonds (i.e., "junk bonds") and other lower-rated bonds is considered speculative and may subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss due to issuer default, decline in market value due to adverse economic and business developments, or sensitivity to changing interest rates.

Foreign securities risk - foreign securities often are more volatile, harder to price and less liquid than U.S. securities. The prices of foreign securities may be further affected by other factors, such as changes in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which the securities are traded.

Derivatives risk - derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security, commodity, measure or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the derivative itself, may not perform as expected. Normally derivatives involve leverage, which means that their use can significantly magnify the effect of price movements of the underlying securities or reference measures, disproportionately increasing a Fund's or Underlying Fund's losses and reducing the Fund's or Underlying Fund's opportunities for gains. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, including a loss that may be greater than the amount invested. They also present default risks if the counterparty to a derivatives contract fails to fulfill its

obligations to the Fund or Underlying Fund. Certain derivatives held by a Fund or Underlying Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position.

 Futures - the prices of futures contracts typically are more volatile than those of stocks and bonds. Small movements in the values of the assets or measures of underlying futures contracts can cause disproportionately larger losses to the Fund or an Underlying Fund. While futures may be more liquid than other types of derivatives, they may experience periods when they are less liquid than stocks, bonds or other investments.

 Options - purchasing and writing put and call options are highly specialized activities and entail greater-than-ordinary investment risks. Investments in options are considered speculative. An option is an agreement that, for a premium payment or fee, gives the option holder (the purchaser) the right but not the obligation to buy (a "call option") or sell (a "put option") the underlying security or futures contract (or settle for cash an amount based on an underlying asset, rate or index) at a specified price (the "exercise price") during a period of time or on a specified date. When the Underlying Fund writes (sells) an option, it profits if the option expires unexercised, because it retains the premium the buyer of the option paid. However, if the Underlying Fund writes a call option, it incurs the risk that the market price of the underlying security or futures contract will increase above the option's exercise price. If this occurs, the option could be exercised and the Underlying Fund would be forced to sell the underlying security or futures contract at a lower price than its current market value. If the Underlying Fund writes a put option, it incurs the risk that the market value of the underlying security or futures contract will decrease below the option's exercise price. If this occurs, the option could be exercised and the Underlying Fund would be forced to buy the underlying security or futures contract at a higher price than its current market value. When the Underlying Fund purchases an option, it will lose the premium paid for the option if the price of the underlying security or futures contract decreases or remains the same (in the case of a call option) or increases or remains the same (in the case of a put option). If an option purchased by the Underlying Fund were permitted to expire without being sold or exercised, its premium would represent a loss to the Fund.

 Swaps - using swaps can involve greater risks than if an Underlying Fund were to invest directly in the underlying securities or assets. Because swaps often involve leverage, their use can significantly magnify the effect of price movements of the underlying securities or reference measures, disproportionately increasing an Underlying Fund's losses and reducing an Underlying Fund's opportunities for gains. Currently there are few central exchanges or markets for swap contracts, and therefore they may be less liquid than

Summary Prospectus April 30, 2026

5

NVIT Blueprint® Managed Growth & Income Fund

exchange-traded instruments. If a swap counterparty fails to meet its obligations under the contract, the Underlying Fund will lose money.

 Forwards - using forwards can involve greater risks than if the Fund were to invest directly in the underlying securities or assets. Because forwards often involve leverage, their use can significantly magnify the effect of price movements of the underlying securities or reference measures, disproportionately increasing the Fund's losses and reducing the Fund's opportunities for gains. Currently there are few central exchanges or markets for forward contracts, and therefore they may be less liquid than exchange-traded instruments. If a forward counterparty fails to meet its obligations under the contract, the Fund will lose money.

 Currency exposure - the Fund's investments in currency futures and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (collectively, "currency contracts") may involve a small investment relative to the amount of risk assumed. To the extent the Fund enters into these transactions, its success will depend on the subadviser's ability to predict market movements, and their use may have the opposite effect of that intended. Risks include potential loss due to the imposition of controls by a government on the exchange of foreign currencies, the loss of any premium paid to enter into the transaction, delivery failure, default by the other party, or inability to close out a position because the trading market becomes illiquid. Currency contracts may reduce the risk of loss from a change in the value of a currency, but they also limit any potential gains and do not protect against fluctuations in the value of the underlying security.

Short sales risk - the Fund will suffer a loss if an Underlying Fund takes a short position in a security and the price of the security rises rather than falls. Short positions expose the Underlying Fund to the risk that it will be required to cover the short position at a time when the security has appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. The Fund's investment performance also will suffer if an Underlying Fund is required to close out a short position earlier than it had intended. In addition, an Underlying Fund will be subject to expenses related to short positions that typically are not associated with investing in securities directly (for example, costs of borrowing and margin account maintenance costs associated with the Underlying Fund's open short positions). These expenses will impact negatively the performance of the Fund. Short positions introduce more risk to an Underlying Fund than long positions because the maximum sustainable loss on a security purchased (held long) is limited to the amount paid for the security plus the transaction costs, whereas there is no maximum attainable price of the security held in a short position. Therefore, in theory, securities held short present unlimited risk.

Short position risk - the Fund will incur a loss from a short position if the value of the stock index to which a futures contract relates increases after the Fund has entered into the

short position. Short positions generally involve a form of leverage, which can exaggerate the Fund's losses. The Fund may lose more money than the actual cost of the short position and its potential losses may be unlimited. Any gain from a short position will be offset in whole or in part by the transaction costs associated with the short position.

Limited portfolio holdings risk - because the Fund may hold large positions in an Underlying Fund, an increase or decrease in the value of such securities will have a greater impact on the Fund's value and total return. Funds that invest in a relatively small number of securities may be subject to greater volatility than a more diversified investment.

Loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance

The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the volatility or variability of the Fund's annual total returns over time and shows that Fund performance can change from year to year. The table shows the Fund's average annual total returns for certain time periods compared to the returns of a broad-based securities market index. Remember, however, that past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. The returns shown in the bar chart and table do not include charges that will be imposed by variable insurance contracts. If these amounts were reflected, returns would be less than those shown.

The Fund compares its performance to the MSCI All Country World Index to satisfy a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosure requirement.

Tax Information

The dividends and distributions paid by the Fund to the insurance company separate accounts will consist of ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both. Because shares of the Fund must be purchased through separate accounts used to fund variable insurance contracts, such dividends and distributions will be exempt from current taxation by contract holders if left to accumulate within a separate account. Consult the variable insurance contract prospectus for additional tax information.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

This Fund is only offered as an underlying investment option for variable insurance contracts. The Fund and its related companies may make payments to the sponsoring insurance companies (or their affiliates) for distribution and/or other services, and to broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries that distribute the variable insurance contracts. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the insurance companies to include the Fund as an underlying investment option in the variable insurance contracts, and by influencing the broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries to distribute variable insurance contracts that include the Fund as an underlying investment option over other variable insurance contracts or to otherwise recommend the selection of the Fund as an underlying investment option by contract owners instead of other funds that also may be available investment options. The prospectus (or other offering document) for your variable insurance contract may contain additional information about these payments.
