About Kevin Jestice, Cfa, Cipm

It’s truly an honor to lead Nationwide Financial’s Investment Management Group (IMG), an $75 billion investment advisor with a range of products distributed through financial intermediary channels, retirement products, variable annuity and life menus. This team is a manager of managers, partnering with more than 30 sub-advisors across 150 funds including mutual funds, ETFs and CITs. Serving in this role since February 2023, I’m responsible for setting the investment strategy and delivering investment results of the IMG portfolio, overseeing all IMG operations including product/business development, fund operations and investments. I also serve as President & CEO, Nationwide Funds, reporting to the Chairman and Funds Board of Trustees.My broad experiences in financial services include investment management, sales, client services and technology where I’ve especially enjoyed the chance to demonstrate and encourage strong, empowering leadership and drive results. Prior to joining Nationwide, a Fortune 100 company based in Columbus, Ohio, in 2020, I was with Vanguard for more than 13 years, most recently serving as Principal, Head of Enterprise Advice, where I built a new sub-division focused on improving outcomes for individual investors through advice and education. During my tenure there, I also served as Principal, Head of Institutional Investor Services, which allowed me to lead a 250+-member team of investment professionals, relationship managers and operations professionals to serve Vanguard’s institutional asset management clients. Additional Vanguard highlights include leading the outsourced chief investment office business, serving on the Investment Policy and Strategic Asset Allocation committees and transforming Vanguard’s consultant sales model.I earned an MBA with honors from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and Honors BA degrees in Finance and Management, magna cum laude, from Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa. I hold FINRA Series 6, 26 and 63 licenses, in addition to these professional accreditations / certifications: Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charterholder, Certificate in Investment Performance Measurement (CIPM) and an Executive Certificate in Technology, Operations and Value Chain Management from MIT Sloan. I’m also a member of the CFA Institute, the CIPM Association and the CFA Society of Columbus.
