Nationwide Personal Income Annuity (File No.
333-267078)
Dear Ms. White:
On behalf of Nationwide Life Insurance Company ("Nationwide") and its Nationwide Variable Account-5 (the "Variable Account"), we are filing this correspondence in relation to the above referenced Registration Statement. This filing is being
made electronically via EDGAR in accordance with Regulation S-T.
On August 26, 2022, Nationwide filed an initial Registration Statement on Form N-4 for Individual Modified Single Premium
Deferred Variable Annuity Contracts to be offered through the Variable Account. Nationwide received your written
comments in a letter dated September 21, 2022. On November 15, 2022, Nationwide filed Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement. Nationwide received your oral comments to Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 on November 18, 2022.
This correspondence filing is in response to your November 18th oral comments. Each oral comment is restated below and is accompanied by Nationwide’s response.
General:
(1)
Nationwide requested a December 15th effectiveness date. However, the auditor’s consent
is dated November 14th and is timely for only 30 days. Therefore, in order to use the current auditor consent, the requested effectiveness date should be moved to December 14th.
Response. Therefore, alternatively,
Nationwide respectfully requests effectiveness on Friday, December 9, 2022.
(2)
With regards to Comments 3 and 4 received from the SEC’s written comments dated
September 21, 2022, the cover page of the ISP should contain the same disclosure language that was added to the cover page of the statutory prospectus. If Nationwide represents that it will add this language by filing a 497VPI, it will not need to file
another pre-effective amendment.
Response. Nationwide confirms that the new cover page disclosure paragraph will also be restated on the
cover page of the initial summary prospectus (the "ISP"), and Nationwide represents this disclosure will be added in a 497VPI filing after the notice of effectiveness is issued.
Please contact
me direct at (614) 677-4304 if you have any questions regarding this filing.
Sincerely,
Nationwide Life Insurance Company
/s/
