- Nationwide Risk-Based U.S. Equity ETF (RBUS) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Rothschild & Co Risk-Based US Index, a rules-based, equal risk-weighted index designed to provide exposure to U.S.-listed large capitalization companies with lower volatility. The fund invests primarily in public equity securities of large-cap U.S. companies selected and weighted to minimize portfolio volatility, mitigate severe drawdowns, and enhance the Sharpe ratio without curtailing returns; it employs a risk-parity approach that allocates weights based on equal risk contribution rather than market capitalization. Launched in 2017 as part of Nationwide's entry into the ETF market alongside the Nationwide Maximum Diversification U.S. Core Equity ETF (MXDU) and Nationwide Risk-Based International Equity ETF (RBIN), RBUS is sponsored by Nationwide Fund Advisors and distributed through ETF Series Solutions, with operations managed from Columbus, Ohio. The ETF targets investors seeking broad U.S. equity market exposure with improved risk-adjusted returns through proprietary indexing from Rothschild Risk Based Investments LLC; it focuses on the domestic large-cap segment, emphasizing lower-volatility characteristics via an equal risk-weighted methodology. Geographically, RBUS provides exposure exclusively to U.S.-listed equities, with no international holdings; it operates on U.S. exchanges such as NYSE Arca. In recent developments, Nationwide has undergone strategic shifts in its ETF lineup, including fund closures announced in 2022 such as certain risk-managed income strategies, though RBUS remains active; the broader Nationwide ETF platform has seen reorganizations, such as the proposed acquisition of the Nationwide Nasdaq-100 Risk-Managed Income ETF (NUSI) by a NEOS Investments fund in 2024. As of 2025, RBUS continues under the ETF Series Solutions trust structure in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with no reported acquisitions, new product launches, or partnerships specific to the fund in the last 1-2 years.
