Attached for filing, pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “1933 Act”), submitted electronically via EDGAR, please find a registration statement on Form N-14 (the “Registration Statement”) of Nationwide Mutual Funds (the “Registrant”). The Registration Statement is being filed to register Class A, Class R, Class R6, and Institutional Class shares of beneficial interest, without par value, of the Nationwide Destination Retirement Fund (the “Fund”), a series of the Registrant.

Very truly yours, | |
