As an important next step in our 116-year history, Nuveen Investments (“Nuveen”) is pleased to announce that it will be acquired by TIAA-CREF, a firm highly respected for its commitment to serving the financial needs of investors in the academic, research, medical and cultural fields since 1918.
The pending transaction will result in the termination of the Nuveen funds’ investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In order to allow Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC and the various sub-advisors to continue to manage the funds, in the coming days Nuveen fund shareholders will receive proxy materials asking them to approve new investment management agreements with Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC and new sub-advisory agreements between Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC and their fund’s current sub-adviser(s). The proxy materials that your clients receive may also include other matters to be voted upon, depending on the fund.
At the beginning of each proxy statement is a Q&A that you may find helpful. The proxy statements can be found atNuveenproxy.com. Proxy statements for most funds will begin mailing on or about June 18, 2014, and will be mailed to shareholders of record as of the record date set forth in the proxy statement (June 6, 2014 for most funds). The shareholder meeting is scheduled for the date set forth in the proxy statement (August 5, 2014 for most funds).
