Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders

LOGO

Dear Shareholders,

The global economy seemed to reach a turning point in 2018. Deregulation and tax law changes, which lowered corporate and individual tax rates and encouraged companies to repatriate overseas profits, helped boost U.S. economic growth and amplify corporate earnings during 2018. However, economic growth in Europe, China and Japan slowed, with trade tensions, unpredictable politics and tightening financial conditions weighing on consumer and business spending. Corporate earnings provided more positive than negative surprises, although expectations were lower by the fourth quarter of 2018 and markets were more concerned about weaker profits in the future, leading to elevated market volatility.

Although downside risks appear to be rising, we believe the likelihood of a near-term recession remains low. Global growth is indeed slowing, but it’s still positive. The U.S. economy remains strong, even in the face of late-cycle pressures. Low unemployment and firming wages should continue to support consumer spending, and the Novembermid-term elections resulted in change, but no major surprises. In China, the government remains committed to using fiscal stimulus to offset softening exports. Europe also remains vulnerable to trade policy as well as Brexit uncertainty, but underlying strengths in European economies, including low unemployment that drives domestic demand, remain supportive of a mild expansion. In a slower growth environment, there are opportunities for investors who seek them more selectively.

We expect volatility and challenging conditions to persist in 2019 but also think there is potential for upside. You can prepare your investment portfolio by working with your financial advisor to review your goals, timeline and risk tolerance. On behalf of the other members of the Nuveen Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.

Sincerely,

Portfolio Managers’ Comments(continued)

JPC has a policy requiring it to invest at least 80% of its managed assets in preferred securities and contingent capital securities (sometimes referred to as “CoCos”), and permitting it to invest up to 20% opportunistically over the market cycle in other types of securities, primarily income oriented securities such as corporate and taxable municipal debt and common equity.

JPC is managed by two experienced portfolio teams with distinctive, complementary approaches to the preferred market, each managing its own “sleeve” of the portfolio. NAM employs a debt-oriented approach that combines top down relative value analysis of industry sectors with fundamental credit analysis. NWQ’s investment process identifies undervalued securities within a company’s capital structure that offer the most attractive risk/reward potential. This multi-team approach gives investors access to a broader investment universe with greater diversification potential.

Nuveen Asset Management (NAM)

For the portion of the Fund managed by NAM, the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective of providing a high level of current income and total return by investing in preferred securities and other income producing securities, including but not limited to contingent capital securities (CoCos). The Fund’s portfolio is actively managed, seeking to capitalize on the strong credit fundamentals across the largest sectors within the issuer base, the category’s healthy yield level, and inefficiencies that often arise between the $25 par retail and the $1,000 par institutional sides of the market. The Fund’s strategy has a bias toward highly regulated industries, like banks, insurance companies and utilities, in hopes of benefitting from the added scrutiny of regulatory oversight.

NAM employs a credit-based investment approach, using atop-down process to position the portfolio in a manner that reflects the investment team’s overall macro-economic outlook, while also incorporating abottom-up approach that includes fundamental credit research, security structure selection, and option adjusted spread (OAS) analysis. The process begins with identifying the investable universe of $1,000 par and $25 par securities. In an effort to capitalize on the inefficiencies between different investor bases within this universe, NAM tactically and strategically shifts capital between the $25 par market and the $1,000 par market. Periods of volatility may drive notable differences in valuations between these two markets, as will periods where valuations trend in one direction for an extended period of time. Divergence in valuations is often related to differences in how retail and institutional investors measure and price risk, as well as differences in retail and institutional investors’ ability to source substitute investments. Technical factors such as new issue supply may also influence the relative valuations between the $25 par market and $1,000 par market. Technical factors, especially around new issue supply, played a material role in absolute and relative performance during the reporting period ended January 31, 2019.

During the reporting period, investment performance was mixed across various segments within NAM’s market. For example, the bank and insurance sectors on average posted positive returns, while the real estate investment trust (REIT), industrial and utility sectors posted negative returns. $25 par preferred securities, $1,000 par preferred securities and CoCos all posted positive returns on average during the reporting period, while both fixed rate coupon structures andnon-fixed rate coupon structures also posted positive returns. Interestingly, both the domestic and thenon-U.S. segments within the Blended Benchmark Index posted positive returns on average during the six month reporting period ended January 31, 2019.

non-CoCo, segment of NAM’s universe. This was surprising given that the fundamental story and the technical story during the reporting period seemed to favor the domestic preferred security market. Specifically, the fundamental story for U.S. banks, in NAM’s opinion, continued to improve during the reporting period. For the first time ever, the domestic bank sector generated aggregate profits exceeding $100 billion for a calendar year, or 2018. In addition, the 2018 bank stress tests, arguably the toughest to date, further demonstrated the strength and resiliency of bank balance sheets and their ability to weather economic conditions worse than the Great Financial Crisis itself. Furthermore, the banks’ stress test results were formidable enough that the sector’s toughest critic and regulator, the Federal Reserve, allowed banks to return a substantial amount of capital back to common shareholders via higher dividends and share buybacks. Coupled with this fundamental story, the technical supply within the preferred securities market should have been just as disproportionately supportive of valuations. For thesix-month reporting period ended January 31, 2019, net new issue flow within the preferred securities market was slightly negative, while at the same time, net new issue flow within the CoCo market was slightly positive.

That being said, NAM believed that the relative underperformance of the preferred securities segment of the market relative to CoCos was due primarily to a difference intax-loss harvesting activity during the latter part of 2018.Tax-loss harvesting tends to be more pervasive in markets with a significant retail investor presence, such as the domestic preferred securities market and the domestic municipal bond market. Retail investors and retail advisors tend to be more active with respect to harvestingyear-end losses for tax management purposes compared to their institutional counterparts, especially considering almost all retail investors have the same fiscalyear-end of December 31. NAM feels tax loss selling disproportionately weighed on the preferred securities segment NAM’s universe compared to CoCos where there is little, if any, direct retail participation. This dynamic seemed to be supported by investor flow data. The fourth quarter of 2018 was the largest quarterly outflow from the Morningstar category encompassing preferred securityopen-end funds and preferred security exchange-traded funds (ETFs) going back 18 years to 2001, a period of time that includes the Financial Crisis of 2008 and the Taper Tantrum of 2013.

NAM incorporated several active themes relative to the Blended Benchmark Index during the reporting period, including an underweight to CoCos and a corresponding overweight to domestic issuers, an overweight to the $1,000 par side of the market, and an overweight to securities that have coupons with reset features (floating rate,fixed-to-floating rate,fixed-to-fixed rate).

During the reporting period, the underweight to CoCos detracted modestly from performance relative to the Blended Benchmark Index, as CoCos outperformed during the reporting period. As of January 31, 2019, the Fund had an allocation of approximately 31% to CoCos, well below the 40% allocation within the Blended Benchmark Index. While the average OAS for the CoCos segment of the Blended Benchmark did indeed move wider, it increased by roughly 60 basis points during the reporting period, below the roughly 75 basis point move wider in the preferred securities segment of the same index. The relative performance was even more perplexing when one considers the relatively supportive fundamental and technical backdrop of the preferred securities market as discussed earlier, coupled with geopolitical headlines emanating from the United Kingdom and Italy, as well as deteriorating economic data outside the U.S., all of which should have weighed disproportionately on the CoCos segment of the market. However, and as NAM mentioned earlier, it is NAM’s belief that intensetax-loss harvesting related outflows from the domestic preferred securities market is what led to this segment’s underperformance during the reporting period.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments(continued)

lower by retail investors’ disproportionate bias for income-generating investment solutions, exacerbated by a prolonged period of low interest rates. Within the preferred securities universe, the $25 par preferred side of the market aligns best with this retail demand given the small denomination and retail investors’ ease of sourcing these securities as most are exchange-traded. Compounding the situation recently was heavy redemption activity of $25 par preferred securities during 2018, while net new issue supply on the $1,000 par preferred side of the market was slightly positive. In NAM’s opinion, this dearth of $25 par preferred supply created a supply technical that disproportionately supported valuations of $25 par preferred securities versus $1,000 par preferred securities. As of the end of the reporting period and within the Blended Benchmark Index, NAM estimates that the average OAS for $25 par preferred securities stood at +96 basis points, well below the average OAS of +280 basis points for $1,000 par preferred securities.

Second, with respect to managing interest rate risk, NAM’s underweight to the $25 par preferred securities was due to their desire for greater exposure to securities that have coupons with reset features, like floating rate coupons,fixed-to-floating rate coupons andfixed-to-fixed rate coupons. These structures are more common on the institutional $1,000 par preferred side of the market and help to mitigate duration and duration extension risk during a rising interest rate environment. Duration extension can be a significant risk for callable securities with fixed-rate coupons. As of January 31, 2019, the Fund had about 88% of its assets invested in securities that have coupons with reset features, compared to approximately 74% within the Blended Benchmark Index.

Fixed rate coupon structures slightly outperformednon-fixed rate coupon securities during the reporting period. In NAM’s opinion, outperformance of the fixed rate coupon structures was due to two factors; the first being an ancillary effect from the outperformance of $25 par preferred securities, as a vast majority of that universe is indeed comprised of fixed rate coupon structures and the second factor being the modest decrease in U.S. interest rates during reporting period.

JPC utilized short interest rate futures during the period to manage the Fund’s exposure to various points along the yield curve, with a net effect of decreasing the Fund’s overall interest rate sensitivity. During the reporting period these interest rate futures had a negligible impact on the Fund’s overall total return performance.

NWQ

For the portion of the Fund managed by NWQ, NWQ seeks to achieve high income and a measure of capital appreciation. While the Fund’s investments are primarily preferred securities, a portion of the Fund allows the flexibility to invest across the capital structure in any type of debt, preferred or equity securities offered by a particular company. The portfolio management team then evaluates all available investment choices within a selected company’s capital structure to determine the portfolio investment that may offer the most favorable risk-adjusted return potential. The Fund’s portfolio is constructed with an emphasis on seeking a sustainable level of income and an overall analysis for downside risk management.

During the reporting period, NWQ’s preferred, equity and high yield bond holdings contributed to performance, while the Fund’s investment grade corporate bonds slightly detracted from performance. Those sectors that contributed to the Fund’s performance included NWQ’s holdings in the real estate and utilities sectors, while the insurance and banking sectors were the largest detractor.

Several of NWQ’s holdings performed well during the reporting period, including Bank of America Corporation 6.5% fixed to float preferreds. During the reporting period, Bank of America reported impressive results, continuing its ability to deliver strong and improving fundamentals and credit profile. The bank has successfully transformed its operating profile and balance sheet back to health over the past years and thereby drove Bank of America’s credits spreads tighter and morein-line with that of JPMorgan Chase & Company and Wells Fargo & Company. NextEra Energy Inc.’s mandatory convertible preferred was a contributor to performance. In addition to benefitting from sector rotation due

to economic slowdown concerns, NextEra reported solid earnings underpinned by a growing renewable backlog and extending the long-term growth rate out an additional year. Lastly, Qwest Corporation senior notes contributed to performance. During the reporting period, the company redeemed $1.3 billion aggregate principal of notes issued by Qwest Corporation. This redemption effectively reduced interest cost to the company and built on the effort of management to simplify its capital structure following the Level 3 acquisition.

Positions that detracted from performance included, preferred stock of General Electric Corporation (GE). GE preferred underperformed after Moody’s downgraded the company’s ratings from A2 to Baa1 on the senior notes, which triggered a series of forced selling across GE’s capital structure. Fundamental concerns also plagued the market sentiment of the company, including the weak performance of its power segment, its cash flow conversion capabilities, timeline for asset sales, lingering contingent liabilities and lack of clarity in its broader strategic moves. GE has recently rebounded off the lows as investors are beginning to see the new CEO taking action in asset sales and other organizational changes. Also detracting from performance were the preferred shares of General Motors Financial Company Inc. The security declined on the back of a new preferred issuance by General Motors in late third quarter 2018 with decent concession. Additionally, the late cycle characteristics of the auto industry along with the headwinds with the trade war have been pressuring the preferreds, despite management’s efforts to improve its credit quality. Lastly, high yield bonds of Dean Foods Company detracted from performance. Earnings came weaker than expected and the deleveraging effort proved to be much tougher than expected. Driver shortage and higher fuel costs had an outsized negative impact due to the short shelf life of fluid milk. We continue to hold these positions.

Nuveen Preferred and Income Term Fund (JPI)

The table in the Performance Overview and Holding Summaries section of this report provides total return performance for the Fund for thesix-month,one-year, five-year and since inception periods ended January 31, 2019. For thesix-month reporting period ended January 31, 2019, the Fund’s common shares at net asset value (NAV) underperformed the ICE BofAML U.S. All Capital Securities Index and the JPI Blended Benchmark Index.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective of providing a high level of current income and total return by investing in preferred securities and other income producing securities, including but not limited to contingent capital securities (CoCos).

Portfolio Managers’ Comments(continued)

CoCos all posted positive returns on average during the reporting period, while both fixed rate coupon structures andnon-fixed rate coupon structures also posted positive returns. Interestingly, both the domestic and thenon-U.S. segments within the Blended Benchmark Index posted positive returns on average during the reporting period.

Taking a closer look at asset class level performance, the positive absolute return for the Blended Benchmark was due primarily to the yield generated from the combined preferred securities and CoCos markets, as price returns were modestly negative for both broad categories. On average, prices moved lower across the investible universe due to wider credit spreads, defined as option adjusted spreads (OAS). However, wider credit spreads were partly offset by lower U.S. treasury yields during the period. OAS for the Blended Benchmark Index pushed wider during the reporting period by roughly 70 basis points, while the U.S.10-year Treasury rate decreased by 33 basis points. Within the Blended Benchmark Index, OAS moved disproportionately wider for the preferred securities segment, or thenon-CoCo, segment of NAM’s universe. This was surprising given that the fundamental story and the technical story during the reporting period seemed to favor the domestic preferred security market. Specifically, the fundamental story for U.S. banks, in NAM’s opinion, continued to improve during the reporting period. For the first time ever, the domestic bank sector generated aggregate profits exceeding $100 billion for a calendar year, or 2018.

However, and as NAM mentioned earlier, it is NAM’s belief that intensetax-loss harvesting related outflows from the domestic preferred securities market is what led to this segment’s underperformance during the reporting period.

Within the investable universe, $25 par preferred securities on average outperformed $1,000 par preferred securities. Given the outperformance of the $25 par preferred retail side of the market during the reporting period, NAM’s underweight to those structures detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. As has been the case for some time, we maintained an overweight to $1,000 par securities for two primary reasons, relative value and interest rate risk management. First, with respect to relative value, the $1,000 par side of the market continues to be significantly cheaper than the $25 par side of the market on an OAS basis. OAS for $25 par preferred securities has been driven lower by retail investors’ disproportionate bias for income-generating investment solutions, exacerbated by a prolonged period of low interest rates. Within the preferred securities universe, the $25 par preferred side of the market aligns best with this retail demand given the small denomination, and retail investors’ ease of sourcing these securities as most are exchange-traded. Compounding the situation recently was heavy redemption activity of $25 par preferred securities during 2018, while net new issue supply on the $1,000 par preferred side of the market was slightly positive.

JPI utilized short interest rate futures during the period to manage the Fund’s exposure to various points along the yield curve, with a net effect of decreasing the Fund’s overall interest rate sensitivity. During the reporting period these interest rate futures had a negligible impact on the Fund’s overall total return performance.

Nuveen Preferred & Income Securities Fund (JPS)

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek high current income consistent with capital preservation with a secondary objective to enhance portfolio value relative to the broad market for preferred securities. Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to invest at least 80% of its net assets in preferred securities and up to 20% of its net assets in debt securities, including convertible debt and convertible preferred securities.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments(continued)

In advance of the ninth Federal Reserve (Fed) rate increase by December 2018, the Fed was confident in communicating that they were a long way from stopping their rate increases. These comments in early October 2018 created discourse in the markets as U.S. Treasuries, credit and equity markets declined. The Fed quickly walked back its aggressive talk to become decidedly dovish, which was a major reversal in tone and broadcasted expectations for future policy. When the Fed did not raise rates, this lead to a significant U.S. Treasury bond rally, but a similarly significantsell-off in equity prices that bled into credit. The retail preferred market traded off more significantly than the institutional sector did during the reporting period, but both correlated more closely on the way down. Spreads widened by 336 basis points in the retail sector and 140 basis points in the institutional sectors.

The basic strategy of the Fund calls for investing in junior subordinated, high income securities of companies with investment grade ratings. Spectrum has tactical exposure to both institutional sectors of the junior subordinated capital securities, which includes both preferred and contingent capital securities (CoCos). A preferred security represents a capital security issued either through charter amendment (as a stock) or through indenture (as a bond). For preferred securities, any reorganization would be processed through a bankruptcy court. Preferred security payments are in priority to common stock dividends, yet can be deferred, which means payments are cumulative or they can be eliminated which means payments arenon-cumulative without causing an immediate event of default. Any principal loss absorption on a preferred security would be forced through a statutory resolution in a bankruptcy proceeding. A CoCo represents a capital security issued through indenture. For CoCos, a reorganization would be processed through the contracts of its capital before falling into an actual bankruptcy. CoCos payments arenon-cumulative, subject to payment limitations and may not be paid in priority to common stock dividends (i.e. they are pari passu to common stock dividends); and can be reduced or eliminated without causing an event of default. Principal loss absorption on a CoCo could be forced through a regulatory action in advance of any bankruptcy proceeding.

The Fund owns a blend of junior subordinated capital securities in the two segments, the preferred securities segment, represented by the ICE BofAML All Capital Securities Index, comprises approximately 59.4% of the Fund (including some cash) and the CoCos segment, represented by the ICE BofAML Contingent Capital Index comprises 40.6% of the Fund at the end of the reporting. In addition, the duration risk of the Fund declined by 0.35 years as the negative convexity risk in the Fund’s portfolio has been mitigated through sector and security selection.

The Fund owns a blend of preferred securities and contingent capital securities that offer the potential for high income. Specifically, Spectrum seeks to maintain a balance of high income and security structure that should perform defensively in a rising rate environment by including term structures such as coupons that would be floating orre-fixed at increased market benchmark rates. During the reporting period, the Fund owned a few high coupon securities which became callable during a time, especially in November and December 2018, when cash liquidity was important to have available. Security selection in the preferred stock sector and corporate hybrid securities sector also benefited performance. Individual holdings that contributed to performance included, CoCo holdings such as Royal Bank of Scotland 7.50%, Credit Suisse 7.50% and Lloyds 7.50%.

Tactics that constrained the Fund’s performance were largely external to the Fund, which was primarily a significant increase in systematic risk during the fourth quarter of 2018. Except for floating rate capital securities, there was not a single sector of junior subordination debt that had positive returns for the fourth quarter. Modest Fund deleveraging later in the fourth quarter also constrained performance in January.

Individual holdings that detracted from performance included Nationwide Financial 6.75%, Penn Power & Light Capital 3mL+267 floaters and Florida Power & Light 3mL+213 floaters, all junior subordinated debt securities.

Nuveen Preferred and Income 2022 Term Fund (JPT)

The table in the Performance Overview and Holding Summaries section of this report provides total return performance for the Fund for thesix-month,one-year and since inception periods ended January 31, 2019. For thesix-month reporting period ended January 31, 2019, the Fund’s common shares at net asset value (NAV) underperformed the ICE BofAML U.S. All Capital Securities Index.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective of providing a high level of current income and total return by investing in preferred securities and other income producing securities. The Fund’s portfolio is actively managed, seeking to capitalize on strong and continuously improving credit fundamentals across the issuer base, the category’s healthy yield level, and inefficiencies that often evolve between the $25 par retail and the $1,000 par institutional sides of the market. The Fund’s strategy has a bias toward highly regulated industries, like utilities, banks and insurance companies, with a current emphasis broadly on financial services companies. The Fund does not invest in contingent capital securities (otherwise known as CoCos).

NAM employs a credit-based investment approach, using atop-down process to position the portfolio in a manner that reflects the investment team’s overall macro-economic outlook, while also incorporating abottom-up approach that includes fundamental credit research, security structure selection, and option adjusted spread (OAS) analysis. The process begins with identifying the investable universe of $1,000 par and $25 par securities. In an effort to capitalize on the inefficiencies between different investor bases within this universe, NAM tactically and strategically shifts capital between the $25 par exchange listed market and the $1,000 parover-the-counter market. Periods of volatility may drive notably different valuations between these two markets, as will periods where valuations trend in one direction for an extended period of time. This dynamic is often related to differences in how retail and institutional markets perceive and price risk, as well as differences in retail and institutional investors’ ability to source substitute investments. Technical factors such as new issue supply may also influence the relative valuations between $25 par exchange listed structures and $1,000 parover-the-counter structures.

Within JPT, NAM incorporated several prominent active themes within the Fund relative to its benchmark during the reporting period, of particular note an overweight to the $1,000 par side of the market, and an overweight to securities that have coupons with reset features (floating rate,fixed-to-floating rate,fixed-to-fixed rate).

Given the outperformance of the $25 par preferred side of the market during the reporting period, NAM’s overweight to $1,000 par preferred structures detracted from the Fund’s relative results. As has been the case for several quarters, NAM maintained an overweight to $1,000 par securities for two primary reasons, relative value and interest rate risk management. First, from a relative value perspective, the $1,000 par side of the market continues to be significantly cheaper than the $25 par side of the market on an OAS basis. OAS for $25 par preferred securities has been driven lower by retail investors’ disproportionate bias for income-generating investment solutions, exacerbated by a prolonged period of low interest rates. Within the preferred securities universe, the $25 par preferred side of the market is best positioned to meet this retail demand given the small denomination, and the ease of sourcing these securities as most are exchange-traded. In addition, recent heavy redemption of $25 par preferred securities has created a supply technical that disproportionately supports valuations of $25 par preferred securities versus $1,000 par preferred securities. As of the end of the reporting period, and within the Benchmark Index, NAM estimates that the average OAS for $25 par preferred securities stood at +96 basis points, well below the average OAS of +280 basis points for $1,000 par preferred securities.

Second, with respect to interest rate risk, NAM’s overweight to $1,000 par securities allows us to gain greater exposure to securities that have coupons with reset features, like floating rate coupons,fixed-to-floating rate coupons andfixed-to-fixed rate coupons. These structures are more common on the institutional $1,000 par side of the market and help to mitigate duration and duration extension risk during a rising interest rate environment. Duration extension can be a significant risk for callable securities with fixed-rate coupons.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments(continued)

As of January 31, 2019, the Fund had about 82% of its assets invested in securities that have coupons with reset features, compared to approximately 60% within the Index. Contrary to expectations given rising interest rates during the reporting period, fixed rate coupon structures outperformed securities that had coupons with reset features. In NAM’s opinion, this was an ancillary effect from the outperformance of $25 par preferred securities, as a vast majority of that universe is comprised of fixed rate coupon structures, coupled with the modest move lower in U.S. treasury rates during the reporting period.

JPT utilized short interest rate futures during the period to manage the Fund’s exposure to various points along the yield curve, with a net effect of decreasing the Fund’s overall interest rate sensitivity. During the reporting period these interest rate futures had a negligible impact on the Fund’s overall total return performance.

Fund Leverage

IMPACT OF THE FUNDS’ LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE

One important factor impacting the returns of the Funds’ common shares relative to their comparative benchmarks was the Funds’ use of leverage through bank borrowings as well as the use of reverse repurchase agreements for JPC and JPS. The Funds use leverage because our research has shown that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for additional income and total return, particularly in the recent market environment where short-term market rates are at or near historical lows, meaning that the short-term rates the Fund has been paying on its leveraging instruments in recent years have been much lower than the interest the Fund has been earning on its portfolio securities that it has bought with the proceeds of that leverage.

However, use of leverage can expose Fund common shares to additional price volatility. When a Fund uses leverage, the Fund common shares will experience a greater increase in their net asset value if the securities acquired through the use of leverage increase in value, but will also experience a correspondingly larger decline in their net asset value if the securities acquired through leverage decline in value, which will make the shares’ net asset value more volatile, and total return performance more variable, over time.

In addition, common share income in levered funds will typically decrease in comparison to unlevered funds when short-term interest rates increase and increase when short-term interest rates decrease. Over the last few quarters, short-term interest rates have indeed increased from their extended lows after the 2007-09 financial crisis. This increase has reduced common share net income, and also reduced potential for long-term total returns. Nevertheless, the ability to effectively borrow at current short-term rates is still resulting in enhanced common share income, and management believes that the advantages of continuation of leverage outweigh the associated increase in risk and volatility described above.

The Funds’ use of leverage had a negligible impact on total return performance for JPC, JPI and JPT during this reporting period, while it had a positive impact on total return performance for JPS.

JPC, JPI and JPS continued to utilize forward starting interest rate swap contracts to partially hedge the interest cost of leverage, which as mentioned previously, is through the use of bank borrowings. During this reporting period, these swap contracts had a negative impact to overall Fund total return performance.

As of January 31, 2019, the Funds’ percentages of leverage are shown in the accompanying table.


	JPC			JPI			JPS			JPT
Effective Leverage*		34.80	%		29.80	%		35.03	%		21.34	%
Regulatory Leverage*		28.99	%		29.80	%		30.26	%		21.34	%

Effective leverage is a Fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage and the leverage effects of certain derivative and other investments in a Fund’s portfolio that increase the Fund’s investment exposure. Regulatory leverage consists of preferred shares issued or borrowings of a Fund. Both of these are part of the Fund’s capital structure. A Fund, however, may from time to time borrow on a typically transient basis in connection with its day-to-day operations, primarily in connection with the need to settle portfolio trades. Such incidental borrowings are excluded from the calculation of a Fund’s effective leverage ratio. Regulatory leverage is subject to asset coverage limits set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Common Share Information

COMMON SHARE DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION

The following information regarding the Funds’ distributions is current as of January 31, 2019. Each Fund’s distribution levels may vary over time based on each Fund’s investment activity and portfolio investment value changes.

During the current reporting period, each Fund’s distributions to common shareholders were as shown in the accompanying table.


	Per Common Share Amounts
Monthly Distributions (Ex-Dividend Date)	JPC			JPI			JPS			JPT
August 2018	$	0.0610		$	0.1355		$	0.0560		$	0.1185
September		0.0610			0.1355			0.0560			0.1185
October		0.0610			0.1355			0.0560			0.1185
November		0.0610			0.1355			0.0560			0.1185
December		0.0610			0.1355			0.0560			0.1185

Total Distributions	$	0.3660		$	0.8130		$	0.3360		$	0.7110

Current Distribution Rate*		7.96	%		7.35	%		7.35	%		6.29	%

Current distribution rate is based on the Fund’s current annualized monthly distribution divided by the Fund’s current market price. The Fund’s monthly distributions to its shareholders may be comprised of ordinary income, net realized capital gains and, if at the end of the fiscal year the Fund’s cumulative net ordinary income and net realized gains are less than the amount of the Fund’s distributions, a return of capital for tax purposes.

Each Fund seeks to pay regular monthly dividends out of its net investment income at a rate that reflects its past and projected net income performance. To permit each Fund to maintain a more stable monthly dividend, the Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net income actually earned by the Fund during the period. Distributions to shareholders are determined on a tax basis, which may differ from amounts recorded in the accounting records. In instances where the monthly dividend exceeds the earned net investment income, the Fund would report a negative undistributed net ordinary income. Refer to Note 6 – Income Tax Information for additional information regarding the amounts of undistributed net ordinary income and undistributed net long-term capital gains and the character of the actual distributions paid by the Fund during the period.

All monthly dividends paid by each Fund during the current reporting period were paid from net investment income. If a portion of the Fund’s monthly distributions is sourced or comprised of elements other than net investment income, including capital gains and/or a return of capital, shareholders will be notified of those sources. For financial reporting purposes, the per share amounts of each Fund’s distributions for the reporting period are presented in this report’s Financial Highlights. For income tax purposes, distribution information for each Fund as of its most recent tax year end is presented in Note 6 – Income Tax Information within the Notes to Financial Statements of this report.

COMMON SHARE REPURCHASES

During August 2018, the Funds’ Board of Trustees reauthorized an open-market share repurchase program, allowing each Fund to repurchase an aggregate of up to approximately 10% of its outstanding shares.

For Fund portfolio compliance purposes, the Fund’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industrysub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industrysub-classifications into sectors for reporting ease.

(1)	All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets applicable to common shares unless otherwise noted.

(2)

For financial reporting purposes, the ratings disclosed are the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. This treatment of split-rated securities may differ from that used for other purposes, such as for Fund investment policies. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies.

(3)	Investment, or portion of investment, has been pledged to collateralize the net payment obligations for investments in reverse repurchase agreements. As of the end of the reporting period, investments with a value of $298,786,078 have been pledged as collateral for reverse repurchase agreements.

(4)	Investment, or portion of investment, is hypothecated as described in the Notes to Financial Statements, Note 8 – Fund Leverage, Rehypothecation. The total value of investments hypothecated as of the end of the reporting period was $317,776,223.

(5)	Perpetual security. Maturity date is not applicable.

(6)	Variable rate security. The rate shown is the coupon as of the end of the reporting period.

(7)	For fair value measurement disclosure purposes, investment classified as Level 2. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 2 – Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements for more information.

(8)

Contingent Capital Securities (“CoCos”) are hybrid securities with loss absorption characteristics built into the terms for the benefit of the issuer. For example the terms may specify an automatic write-down of principal or a mandatory conversion into the issuer’s common stock under certain adverse circumstances, such as the issuer’s capital ratio falling below a specified level.

(9)

The Fund may pledge up to 100% of its eligible investments (excluding any investments separately pledged as collateral for specific investments in derivatives, when applicable) in the Portfolio of Investments as collateral for borrowings. As of the end of the reporting period, investments with a value of $997,322,869 have been pledged as collateral for borrowings.

(10)	Borrowings as a percentage of Total Investments is 26.8%.

(11)	Reverse Repurchase Agreements as a percentage of Total Investments is 8.2%.

(12)

Other assets less liabilities includes the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of certainover-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives as presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of OTC cleared and exchange-traded derivatives is recognized as part of the cash collateral at brokers and/or the receivable or payable for variation margin as presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.

(13)	Effective date represents the date on which both the Fund and counterparty commence interest payment accruals on each contract.

144A	Investment is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These investments may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration, which are normally those transactions with qualified institutional buyers.

Reg S

Regulation S allows U.S. companies to sell securities to persons or entities located outside of the United States without registering those securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Specifically, Regulation S provides a safe harbor from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for the offers and sales of securities by both foreign and domestic issuers that are made outside the United States.

(a)	Per share Net Investment Income (Loss) is calculated using the average daily shares method.

(b)

Total Return Based on Common Share NAV is the combination of changes in common share NAV, reinvested dividend income at NAV and reinvested capital gains distributions at NAV, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending NAV. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund’s market price (and not its NAV), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

Total Return Based on Common Share Price is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies

General Information

Fund Information

The funds covered in this report and their corresponding New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) symbols are as follows (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):

•

Nuveen Preferred & Income Opportunities Fund (JPC)

•

Nuveen Preferred and Income Term Fund (JPI)

•

Nuveen Preferred & Income Securities Fund (JPS)

•

Nuveen Preferred and Income 2022 Term Fund (JPT)

The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified (non-diversified for JPT), closed-end management investment companies. JPC, JPI, JPS and JPT were each organized as Massachusetts business trusts on January 27, 2003, April 18, 2012, June 24, 2002 and July 6, 2016, respectively.

The end of the reporting period for the Funds is January 31, 2019, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the six months ended January 31, 2019 (the “current fiscal period”).

Investment Adviser

The Funds’ investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC (“Nuveen”). Nuveen is the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA). The Adviser has overall responsibility for management of the Funds, oversees the management of the Funds’ portfolios, manages the Funds’ business affairs and provides certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services, and, if necessary, asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with NWQ Investment Management Company, LLC (“NWQ”), an affiliate of Nuveen, Spectrum Asset Management, Inc. (“Spectrum”), and/or Nuveen Asset Management LLC (“NAM”), a subsidiary of the Adviser, (each a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”). NWQ and NAM are each responsible for approximately half of JPC’s portfolio. NAM manages the investment portfolio of JPI and JPT, while Spectrum manages the investment portfolio of JPS. The Adviser is responsible for managing JPC’s, JPI’s and JPS’s investments in swap contracts.

Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies

JPC’s investment objective is to provide high current income and total return. The Fund invests at least 80% of the sum of its net assets and the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in preferred and other income producing securities, including hybrid securities such as contingent capital securities and up to 20% opportunistically in other income-oriented securities such as corporate and taxable municipal debt and dividend paying common equity. At least 50% of its managed assets (as defined in Note 7 – Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates) are rated investment grade (BBB/Baa or better by S&P, Moody’s, or Fitch) at the time of investment.

JPI’s investment objective is to provide a high level of current income and total return by investing at least 80% of its managed assets in preferred and other income producing securities. At least 50% of its managed assets are rated investment grade (BBB/Baa or better by one of the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations “NRSROs”) at the time of investment.

JPS’s investment objective is high current income consistent with capital preservation. The Fund’s secondary investment objective is to enhance portfolio value. The Fund invests at least 80% of the sum of its net assets and the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in preferred and other income producing securities, including hybrid securities such as contingent capital securities. At least 50% of its managed assets are rated investment grade (BBB/Baa or better by S&P, Moody’s, or Fitch) at the time of investment.

JPT’s investment objective is to provide a high level of current income and total return by investing at least 80% of its managed assets in preferred and other income-producing securities. The Fund may invest without limit in investment grade securities (BB+/Ba1 or lower) but no more than 10% in securities rated belowB-/B3 at the time of investment. Up to 40% of its managed assets may be in securities issued by companies located anywhere in the world, but no more than 10% in securities of issuers in emerging market countries, and 100% in U.S. dollar-denominated securities. The Fund does not invest in contingent capital securities.

Significant Accounting Policies

Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.” The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

Investment Transactions

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the specific identification method, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have earmarked securities in their portfolios with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments.

As of the end of the reporting period, the Funds did not have any when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments.

Investment Income

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for foreign securities, when information is available. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date and recorded at fair value. Interest income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and includes accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income also reflects payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest and paydown gains and losses, if any. PIK interest represents income received in the form of securities in lieu of cash. Other income is comprised of fees earned in connection with the rehypothecation of pledged collateral as further described in Note 8 – Fund Leverage, Rehypothecation.

Professional Fees

Professional fees presented on the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in an attempt to protect or enhance an investment or to pursue other claims or legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders. If a refund is received for workout expenditures paid in a prior reporting period, such amounts will be recognized as “Legal fee refund” on the Statement of Operations.

Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders

Dividends to common shareholders, if any, are declared monthly. Net realized capital gains from investment transactions, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.

Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

Compensation

The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Funds’ Board of Trustees (the ‘‘Board’’) has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen-advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen advised funds.

Indemnifications

Under the Funds’ organizational documents, their officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Netting Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable master repurchase agreements, International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) master agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows each Fund to offset certain securities and derivatives with a specific counterparty, when applicable, as well as any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, each Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis.

The Funds’ investments subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, if any, are further described in Note 3 – Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives.

Notes to Financial Statements(continued)

(Unaudited)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets applicable to common shares from operations during the current fiscal period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

2. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements

The fair valuation input levels as described below are for fair value measurement purposes.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.


Level 1 –		Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 –		Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit spreads, etc.).
Level 3 –		Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

Common stocks and other equity-type securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded and are generally classified as Level 1. Securities primarily traded on the Nasdaq National Market (“Nasdaq”) are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price and are generally classified as Level 1. However, securities traded on a securities exchange or Nasdaq for which there were no transactions on a given day or securities not listed on a securities exchange or Nasdaq are valued at the quoted bid price and are generally classified as Level 2. Prices of certain American Depositary Receipts (“ADR”) held by the Funds that trade in the United States are valued based on the last traded price, official closing price or the most recent bid price of the underlying non- U.S.-traded stock, adjusted as appropriate for the underlying-to-ADR conversion ratio and foreign exchange rate, and from time-to-time may also be adjusted further to take into account material events that may take place after the close of the local non-U.S. market but before the close of the NYSE, which may represent a transfer from a Level 1 to a Level 2 security.

Prices of fixed-income securities are provided by an independent pricing service (“pricing service”) approved by the Board. The pricing service establishes a security’s fair value using methods that may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer or market activity, provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs.

Prices of swap contracts are also provided by a pricing service approved by the Board using the same methods as described above, and are generally classified as Level 2.

Investments in investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value (“NAV”) on valuation date and are generally classified as Level 1.

Repurchase agreements are valued at contract amount plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. These securities are generally classified as Level 2.

Futures contracts are valued using the closing settlement price or, in the absence of such a price, the last traded price, and are generally classified as Level 1.

Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Funds’ shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares. If significant market events occur between the time of determination of the closing price of a foreign security on an exchange and the time that the Funds’ NAV is determined, or if under the Funds’ procedures, the closing price of a foreign security is not deemed to be reliable, the security would be valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established in good faith by the Board. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs.

Certain securities may not be able to be priced by the pre-established pricing methods as described above. Such securities may be valued by the Board and/or its appointee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; debt securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market quotation; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of a Fund’s NAV (as may be the case in non-U.S. markets on which the security is primarily traded) or make it difficult or impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as provided by the pricing service, is not deemed to reflect the security’s fair value. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Board and/or its appointee.

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund’s fair value measurements as of the end of the reporting period:

3. Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives

Portfolio Securities

Foreign Currency Transactions

To the extent that the Funds may invest in securities and/or contracts that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Funds will be subject to currency risk, which is the risk that an increase in the U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currency will reduce returns or portfolio value. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Funds’ investments denominated in that currency will lose value because their currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. dollar falls in relative value. Investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars on a spot (i.e. cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market at the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and income denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.

As of the end of the reporting period, the Funds’ investments in non-U.S. securities were as follows:

The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Investment transactions, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date of the transactions, foreign currency transactions and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of a Fund and the amounts actually received.

The realized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in foreign exchange rates associated with (i) foreign currency, (ii) investments, (iii) investments in derivatives and (iv) other assets and liabilities are recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from investments and foreign currency” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.

The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in foreign exchange rates associated with (i) investments and (ii) other assets and liabilities are recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and foreign currency” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates associated with investments in derivatives are recognized as a component of the respective derivative’s related “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.

Repurchase Agreements

In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is each Fund’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the counterparty defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral may be delayed or limited.

The following table presents the repurchase agreements for the Funds that are subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, and the collateral delivered related to those repurchase agreements.

Zero Coupon Securities

A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.

Investments in Derivatives

Each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments such as futures, options and swap contracts. Each Fund limits its investments in futures, options on futures and swap contracts to the extent necessary for the Adviser to claim the exclusion from registration by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a commodity pool operator with respect to the Fund. The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds’ investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes.

Futures Contracts

Upon execution of a futures contract, a Fund is obligated to deposit cash or eligible securities, also known as ‘‘initial margin,’’ into an account at its clearing broker equal to a specified percentage of the contract amount. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts, if any, is recognized as ‘‘Cash collateral at broker for investments in futures contracts’’ on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Investments in futures contracts obligate a Fund and the clearing broker to settle monies on a daily basis representing changes in the prior days‘‘mark-to-market’’ of the open contracts. If a Fund has unrealized appreciation the clearing broker would credit the Fund’s account with an amount equal to appreciation and conversely if a Fund has unrealized depreciation the clearing broker would debit the Fund’s account with an amount equal to depreciation. These daily cash settlements are also known as ‘‘variation margin.’’ Variation margin is recognized as a receivable and/or payable for ‘‘Variation margin on futures contracts’’ on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as an unrealized gain or loss by‘‘marking-to-market’’ on a daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract, which is recognized as a component of ‘‘Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts’’ on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or expired, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract on the closing date and value of the contract when originally entered into, which is recognized as a component of ‘‘Net realized gain (loss) from futures contracts’’ on the Statement of Operations.

Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement in the price of the securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that there may not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts and/or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with a change in the value of the underlying securities or indices.

During the current fiscal period, JPC, JPI and JPT invested in short interest rate futures to manage the Fund’s exposure to various points along the yield curve, with a net effect of decreasing the Fund’s overall interest rate sensitivity.

The average notional amount of futures contracts outstanding during the current fiscal period was as follows:


	JPC		JPI		JPT
Average notional amount of futures contracts outstanding*	$	4,737,500	$	4,125,812	$	6,300,833

*	The average notional amount is calculated based on the absolute aggregate notional of contracts outstanding at the beginning of the current fiscal period and at the end of each quarter within the current fiscal period.

The following table presents the amount of net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) recognized on futures contracts on the Statement of Operations during the current fiscal period, and the primary underlying risk exposure.


Fund	Underlying Risk Exposure	Derivative Instrument	Net Realized Gain (Loss) from Futures Contracts			Change in Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Futures Contracts
JPC	Interest rate	Futures contracts	$	(150,472	)	$	—
JPI	Interest rate	Futures contracts		(131,654	)		—
JPT	Interest rate	Futures contracts		(69,229	)		(15,501	)

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

Interest rate swap contracts involve a Fund’s agreement with the counterparty to pay or receive a fixed rate payment in exchange for the counterparty receiving or paying a variable rate payment. Forward interest rate swap contracts involve a Fund’s agreement with a counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or variable rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable or fixed rate payment, the accruals for which begin at a specified date in the future (the “effective date”).

The amount of the payment obligation for an interest rate swap is based on the notional amount and the termination date of the contract. Interest rate swap contracts do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to the net amount of interest payments that the Fund is to receive.

Interest rate swap contracts are valued daily. Upon entering into an interest rate swap contract (and beginning on the effective date for a forward interest rate swap contract), the Fund accrues the fixed rate payment expected to be paid or received and the variable rate payment expected to be received or paid on the interest rate swap contracts on a daily basis, and recognizes the daily change in the fair value of the Fund’s contractual rights and obligations under the contracts. For an over-the-counter (“OTC”) swap, that is not cleared through a clearing house (“OTC Uncleared”), the amount recorded on these transactions is recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a component of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on interest rate swaps.”

Upon the execution of an OTC swap cleared through a clearing house (“OTC Cleared”), the Fund is obligated to deposit cash or eligible securities, also known as “initial margin,” into an account at its clearing broker equal to a specified percentage of the contract amount. Cash deposited by the Fund to cover initial margin requirements on open swap contracts, if any, is recognized as a component of “Cash collateral at brokers for investments in swaps” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Investments in OTC Cleared swaps obligate the Fund and the clearing broker to settle monies on a daily basis representing changes in the prior day’s “mark-to-market” of the swap contract. If the Fund has unrealized appreciation, the clearing broker will credit the Fund’s account with an amount equal to the appreciation. Conversely, if the Fund has unrealized depreciation, the clearing broker will debit the Fund’s account with an amount equal to the depreciation. These daily cash settlements are also known as “variation margin.” Variation margin for OTC Cleared swaps is recognized as a receivable and/or payable for “Variation margin on swap contracts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Upon the execution of an OTC Uncleared swap, neither the Fund nor the counterparty is required to deposit initial margin as the trades are recorded bilaterally between both parties to the swap contract, and the terms of the variation margin are subject to a predetermined threshold negotiated by the Fund and the counterparty. Variation margin for OTC Uncleared swaps is recognized as a component of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on interest rate swaps” as described in the preceding paragraph.

The net amount of periodic payments settled in cash are recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from swaps” on the Statement of Operations, in addition to the net realized gain or loss recorded upon the termination of the swap contract. For tax purposes, payments expected to be received or paid on the swap contracts are treated as ordinary income or expense, respectively. Changes in the value of the swap contracts during the fiscal period are recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of swaps” on the Statement of Operations. In certain instances, payments are made or received upon entering into the swap contract to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreements and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period, if any, are recognized as “Interest rate swaps premiums received and/or paid” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

During the current fiscal period, JPC, JPI and JPS continued to utilize forward starting interest rate swap contracts to partially hedge the interest cost of leverage, which as mentioned previously, is through the use of bank borrowings.

The average notional amount of interest rate swap contracts outstanding during the current fiscal period was as follows:


	JPC		JPI		JPS
Average notional amount of interest rate swap contracts outstanding*	$	277,500,000	$	112,000,000	$	521,000,000

*	The average notional amount is calculated based on the outstanding notional at the beginning of the current fiscal period and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal period.

Market and Counterparty Credit Risk

In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount.

6. Income Tax Information

Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to recognition of premium amortization, timing differences in the recognition of income on real estate investment trust (“REIT”) investments and timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the NAVs of the Funds.

The tables below present the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of each Fund’s investment portfolio, as determined on a federal income tax basis, as of January 31, 2019.

For purposes of this disclosure, derivative tax cost is generally the sum of any upfront fees or premiums exchanged and any amounts unrealized for income statement reporting but realized in income and/or capital gains tax reporting. If a particular derivative category does not disclose any tax unrealized appreciation or depreciation, the change in value of those derivatives have generally been fully realized for tax purposes.

Notes to Financial Statements(continued)

(Unaudited)

Permanent differences, primarily due to bond premium amortization adjustments, treatment of notional principal contracts, complex securities character adjustments, federal taxes paid, investments in partnerships, expiration of capital loss carryforwards and nondeductible reorganization expenses resulted in reclassifications among the Funds’ components of common share net assets as of July 31, 2018, the Funds’ last tax year end.

7. Management Fees

Each Fund’s management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Sub-Advisers are compensated for their services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser. Spectrum also receives compensation on certain portfolio transactions for providing brokerage services to JPS. During the current fiscal period, JPS paid Spectrum commissions of $11,788.

Each Fund’s management fee consists of two components – a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within each individual Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables each Fund’s shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.

The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated according to the following schedule:


Average Daily Managed Assets*	JPC			JPI			JPS			JPT
For the first $500 million		0.6800	%		0.7000	%		0.7000	%		0.7000	%
For the next $500 million		0.6550			0.6750			0.6750			0.6750
For the next $500 million		0.6300			0.6500			0.6500			0.6500
For the next $500 million		0.6050			0.6250			0.6250			0.6250
For managed assets over $2 billion		0.5800			0.6000			0.6000			0.6000

The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated by multiplying the current complex-wide fee rate, determined according to the following schedule by the Funds’ daily managed assets:


Complex-Level Eligible Asset Breakpoint Level*	Effective Complex-Level Fee Rate at Breakpoint Level
$55 billion		0.2000	%
$56 billion		0.1996
$57 billion		0.1989
$60 billion		0.1961
$63 billion		0.1931
$66 billion		0.1900
$71 billion		0.1851
$76 billion		0.1806
$80 billion		0.1773
$91 billion		0.1691
$125 billion		0.1599
$200 billion		0.1505
$250 billion		0.1469
$300 billion		0.1445

For the complex-level fees, managed assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to certain types of leverage. For these purposes, leverage includes the funds’ use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining managed assets in certain circumstances. The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed assets of all Nuveen open-end and closed-end Funds that constitute “eligible assets.” Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen funds or assets in excess of a determined amount (originally $2 billion) added to the Nuveen fund complex in connection with the Adviser’s assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011. As of January 31, 2019, the complex-level fee rate for each Fund was 0.1595%.

8. Fund Leverage

Borrowings

JPC, JPI, JPS, and JPT have each entered into a borrowing arrangement (collectively, “Borrowings”) which permit the Funds to borrow on a secured basis as a means of leverage. As of the end of the reporting period, each Fund’s maximum commitment amount under these Borrowings is as follows:


	JPC		JPI		JPS		JPT
Maximum commitment amount	$	450,000,000	$	225,000,000	$	850,000,000	$	45,000,000

As of the end of the reporting period, each Fund’s outstanding balance on its Borrowings was as follows:


	JPC		JPI		JPS		JPT
Outstanding balance on Borrowings	$	407,000,000	$	225,000,000	$	823,300,000	$	42,500,000

For JPC, JPI and JPS interest is charged on these Borrowings at 1-Month LIBOR (London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) plus 0.70% per annum on the amounts borrowed and 0.50% per annum on the undrawn balance if the undrawn portion of the Borrowings on a particular day is more than 20% of the maximum commitment amount. JPT’s interest is charged on the Borrowings at a rate equal to the1-month LIBOR plus 0.70% per annum on the amount borrowed. JPT is also charged a 0.125% commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the Borrowings.

During the current fiscal period, the average daily balance outstanding and average annual interest rate on each Fund’s Borrowings were as follows:


	JPC			JPI			JPS			JPT
Average daily balance outstanding	$	425,016,304		$	225,000,000		$	836,691,304		$	42,500,000
Average annual interest rate		3.00	%		3.00	%		3.00	%		2.96	%

Notes to Financial Statements(continued)

(Unaudited)

In order to maintain these Borrowings, the Funds must meet certain collateral, asset coverage and other requirements. Borrowings outstanding are fully secured by eligible securities held in each Fund’s portfolio of investments.

Borrowings outstanding are recognized as “Borrowings” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Interest expense incurred on the borrowed amount and undrawn balance are recognized as a component of “Interest expense” on the Statement of Operations.

Rehypothecation

JPC, JPI and JPS have entered into a Rehypothecation Side Letter (“Side Letter”) with its prime brokerage lender, allowing it to re-register the Pledged Collateral in its own name or in a name other than the Funds’ to pledge, repledge, hypothecate, rehypothecate, sell, lend or otherwise transfer or use the Pledged Collateral (the “Hypothecated Securities”) with all rights of ownership as described in the Side Letter. Subject to certain conditions, the total value of the outstanding Hypothecated Securities shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 98% of the outstanding balance on the Borrowings to which the Pledged Collateral relates and (ii) 33¹⁄₃% of the Funds’ total assets. The Funds may designate any Pledged Collateral as ineligible for rehypothecation. The Funds may also recall Hypothecated Securities on demand.

The Funds also have the right to apply and set-off an amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of the then-current fair market value of such Pledged Collateral against the current Borrowings under the Side Letter in the event that the prime brokerage lender fails to timely return the Pledged Collateral and in certain other circumstances. In such circumstances, however, the Funds may not be able to obtain replacement financing required to purchase replacement securities and, consequently, the Funds’ income generating potential may decrease. Even if a Fund is able to obtain replacement financing, it might not be able to purchase replacement securities at favorable prices.

The Funds will receive a fee in connection with the Hypothecated Securities (“Rehypothecation Fees”) in addition to any principal, interest, dividends and other distributions paid on the Hypothecated Securities.

As of the end of the reporting period, JPC, JPI and JPS each had Hypothecated Securities as follows:


	JPC		JPI		JPS
Hypothecated Securities	$	317,776,223	$	171,396,461	$	716,113,082

JPC, JPI and JPS earn Rehypothecation Fees, which are recognized as “Other income” on the Statement of Operations. During the current fiscal period, the Rehypothecation Fees earned by each Fund were as follows:


	JPC		JPI		JPS
Rehypothecation Fees	$	196,591	$	120,997	$	206,521

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

During the current fiscal period, JPC and JPS used reverse repurchase agreements as a means of leverage.

In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Funds sell to the counterparty a security that it holds with a contemporaneous agreement to repurchase the same security at an agreed-upon price and date, with the Funds retaining the risk of loss that is associated with that security. The Funds will pledge assets determined to be liquid by the Adviser to cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements. Securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements are recorded as a liability and recognized as “Reverse repurchase agreements” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Payments made on reverse repurchase agreements are recognized as a component of “Interest expense” on the Statement of Operations.

As of the end of the reporting period, the Funds’ outstanding balances on its reverse repurchase agreements were as follows:


Fund	Counterparty	Rate	Principal Amount			Maturity*		Value			Value and Accrued Interest
JPC	BNP Paribas	1-Month LIBOR plus 0.70%	$	(125,000,000	)		N/A	$	(125,000,000	)	$	125,023,402
JPS	BNP Paribas	1-Month LIBOR plus 0.70%		(200,000,000	)		N/A		(200,000,000	)		200,037,443

*	The Fund may repurchase the reverse repurchase agreement prior to the maturity date and/or counterparty may accelerate maturity upon pre-specified advance notice.

During the current fiscal period, the average daily balance outstanding and weighted average interest rate on the Funds’ reverse repurchase agreements were as follows:


	JPC			JPS
Average daily balance outstanding	$	125,000,000		$	200,000,000
Weighted average interest rate		3.00	%		3.00	%

The following table presents the reverse repurchase agreements subject to netting agreements and the collateral delivered related to those reverse repurchase agreements.


Fund	Counterparty		Reverse Repurchase Agreements**			Collateral Pledged to counterparty***		Net Exposure
JPC		BNP Paribas	$	(125,023,402	)	$	125,023,402	$	—
JPS		BNP Paribas		(200,037,443	)		200,037,443		—

**	Represents gross value and accrued interest for the counterparty as reported in the preceding table.

***	As of the end of the reporting period, the value of the collateral pledged to the counterparty exceeded the value of the reverse repurchase agreements.

9. Inter-Fund Lending

Inter-Fund Borrowing and Lending

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has granted an exemptive order permitting registeredopen-end andclosed-end Nuveen funds to participate in an inter-fund lending facility whereby the Nuveen funds may directly lend to and borrow money from each other for temporary purposes (e.g., to satisfy redemption requests or when a sale of securities “fails,” resulting in an unanticipated cash shortfall) (the “Inter-Fund Program”). Theclosed-end Nuveen funds, including the Funds covered by this shareholder report, will participate only as lenders, and not as borrowers, in the Inter-Fund Program because suchclosed-end funds rarely, if ever, need to borrow cash to meet redemptions. The Inter-Fund Program is subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things, the requirements that (1) no fund may borrow or lend money through the Inter-Fund Program unless it receives a more favorable interest rate than is typically available from a bank or other financial institution for a comparable transaction; (2) no fund may borrow on an unsecured basis through the Inter-Fund Program unless the fund’s outstanding borrowings from all sources immediately after the inter-fund borrowing total 10% or less of its total assets; provided that if the borrowing fund has a secured borrowing outstanding from any other lender, including but not limited to another fund, the inter-fund loan must be secured on at least an equal priority basis with at least an equivalent percentage of collateral to loan value; (3) if a fund’s total outstanding borrowings immediately after an inter-fund borrowing would be greater than 10% of its total assets, the fund may borrow through the inter-fund loan on a secured basis only; (4) no fund may lend money if the loan would cause its aggregate outstanding loans through the Inter-Fund Program to exceed 15% of its net assets at the time of the loan; (5) a fund’s inter-fund loans to any one fund shall not exceed 5% of the lending fund’s net assets; (6) the duration of inter-fund loans will be limited to the time required to receive payment for securities sold, but in no event more than seven days; and (7) each inter-fund loan may be called on one business day’s notice by a lending fund and may be repaid on any day by a borrowing fund. In addition, a Nuveen fund may participate in the Inter-Fund Program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. The Board is responsible for overseeing the Inter-Fund Program.

The limitations detailed above and the other conditions of the SEC exemptive order permitting the Inter-Fund Program are designed to minimize the risks associated with Inter-Fund Program for both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. However, no borrowing or lending activity is without risk. When a fund borrows money from another fund, there is a risk that the loan could be called on one day’s notice or not renewed, in which case the fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher rate or take other actions to payoff such loan if an inter-fund loan is not available from another fund. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.

During the current reporting period, none of the Funds have entered into any inter-fund loan activity.

10. New Accounting Pronouncements

Disclosure Update and Simplification

During August 2018, the SEC issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification (“Final Rule Release No. 33-10532”). Final Rule Release No. 33-10532 amends certain financial statement disclosure requirements to conform to U.S. GAAP. The amendments to Rule 6-04.17 of Regulation S-X (balance sheet) remove the requirement to separately state the book basis components of net assets: undistributed (over-distribution of) net investment income (“UNII”), accumulated undistributed net realized gains (losses), and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) at the balance sheet date. Instead, consistent with U.S. GAAP, funds will be required to disclose total distributable earnings. The amendments to Rule 6-09 of Regulation S-X (statement of changes in net assets) remove the requirement to separately state the sources of distributions paid. Instead, consistent with U.S. GAAP, funds will be required to disclose the total amount of distributions paid, except that any tax return of capital must be separately disclosed. The amendments also remove the requirement to parenthetically state the book basis amount of UNII on the statement of changes in net assets.

The requirements of Final Rule Release No. 33-10532 are effective November 5, 2018, and the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the current reporting period have been modified accordingly. In addition, certain amounts within each Fund’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the prior fiscal period have been modified to conform to Final Rule Release No. 33-10532.

Notes to Financial Statements(continued)

(Unaudited)

For the prior fiscal period, the total amount of distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and from accumulated net realized gains, if any, are recognized as “Dividends” on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

As of July 31, 2018, the Funds’ Statement of Changes in Net Assets reflected the following UNII balances.


	JPC			JPI			JPS			JPT
UNII at the end of period	$	(7,492,186	)	$	(1,378,140	)	$	(7,510,114	)	$	270,200

FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-08 (“ASU 2017-08”) Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities

The FASB has issued ASU 2017-08, which shortens the premium amortization period for purchased non-contingently callable debt securities. ASU2017-08 specifies that the premium amortization period ends at the earliest call date, for purchased non-contingently callable debt securities. ASU2017-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluatingthe implications of ASU 2017-08, if any.

Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework

During August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”), Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosures required by Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. During the current reporting period, management early implemented this guidance. This implementation did not have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

11. Subsequent Events

Borrowings

During February 2019, JPC amended its Borrowings and increased the maximum commitment amount and outstanding balance on its Borrowings to $455,000,000 and $455,000,000, respectively. In addition, the Fund also incurred a 0.10% amendment fee on the increase in the maximum commitment amount of the Borrowings. All other terms of the Borrowings remain unchanged.

During February 2019, JPI amended its Borrowings and decreased the maximum commitment amount and outstanding balance on its Borrowings to $215,000,000 and $210,000,000, respectively. All other terms of the Borrowings remain unchanged.

During February 2019, JPS amended its Borrowings and increased the maximum commitment amount and outstanding balance on its Borrowings to $870,000,000 and $853,300,000, respectively. In addition, the Fund also incurred a 0.10% amendment fee on the increase in the maximum commitment amount of the Borrowings. All other terms of the Borrowings remain unchanged.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

During February 2019, JPI entered into a $60,000,000 reverse repurchase agreement.

During February 2019, JPS increased the balance on its reverse repurchase agreement to $260,000,000.

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report

∎

Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly used method to express an investment’s performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investment’s actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or offer price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered.

∎

ICE BofAML Contingent Capital Index: An index that tracks the performance of all contingent capital debt publicly issued in the major domestic and Eurobond markets, including investment grade andsub-investment grade issues. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not include the effects of any applicable sales charges or management fees.

∎

ICE BofAML Preferred Securities Fixed Rate Index: An index that tracks the performance of fixed rate U.S. dollar denominated preferred securities issued in the U.S. domestic market. Qualifying securities must be rated investment grade (based on an average of Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch) and must have an investment grade rated country of risk (based on an average of Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch foreign currency long-term sovereign debt ratings). In addition, qualifying securities must be issued as public securities or through a 144A filing, must be issued in $25, $50 or $100 par/liquidation preference increments, must have a fixed coupon or dividend schedule, and must have a minimum amount outstanding of $100 million. The index returns assume reinvestment of dividends, but do not include the effects of any sales charges or management fees.

∎

ICE BofAML U.S. All Capital Securities Index: An index that is comprised of a subset of the ICE BofAML U.S. Corporate Index including allfixed-to-floating rate, perpetual callable and capital securities. The ICE BofAML U.S. Corporate Index is an unmanaged index comprised of U.S. dollar denominated investment grade corporate debt securities publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market with at least one year remaining term to final maturity. Index returns do not include the effects of any sales charges or management fees.

∎

Contingent Capital Securities (CoCos): CoCos are debt or capital securities of primarily non-U.S. issuers with loss absorption contingency mechanisms built into the terms of the security, for example a mandatory conversion into common stock of the issuer, or a principal write-down, which if triggered would likely cause the CoCo investment to lose value. Loss absorption mechanisms would become effective upon the occurrence of a specified contingency event, or at the discretion of a regulatory body. Specified contingency events, as identified in the CoCo’s governing documents, usually reference a decline in the issuer’s capital below a specified threshold level, and/or certain regulatory events. A loss absorption contingency event for CoCos would likely be the result of, or related to, the deterioration of the issuer’s financial condition and/or its status as a going concern. In such a case, with respect to CoCos that provide for conversion into common stock upon the occurrence of the contingency event, the market price of the issuer’s common stock received by the Acquiring Fund will have likely declined, perhaps substantially, and may continue to decline after conversion. CoCos rated below investment grade should be considered high yield securities, or “junk,” but often are issued by entities whose more senior securities are rated investment grade. CoCos are a relatively new type of security; and there is a risk that CoCo security issuers may suffer the sort of future financial distress that could materially increase the likelihood (or the market’s perception of the likelihood) that an automatic write-down or conversion event on those issuers’ CoCos will occur. Additionally, the trading behavior of a given issuer’s CoCo may be strongly impacted by the trading behavior of other issuers’ CoCos, such that negative information from an unrelated CoCo security may cause a decline in value of one or more CoCos held by the Fund. Accordingly, the trading behavior of CoCos may not follow the trading behavior of other types of debt and preferred securities. Despite these concerns, the prospective reward vs. risk characteristics of at least certain CoCos may be very attractive relative to other fixed-income alternatives.

∎

Duration: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bond’s principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond’s or bond fund’s value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond’s or fund’s duration, the more the price of the bond or fund will change as interest rates change.

∎

Effective Leverage: Effective leverage is a fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage (see below) and the leverage effects of certain derivative investments in the fund’s portfolio.

∎

JPC Blended Benchmark: A blended return consisting of: 1) 50% ICE BofAML Preferred Securities Fixed Rate Index, which tracks the performance of fixed rate U.S. dollar denominated preferred securities issued in the U.S. domestic market; 2) 30% ICE BofAML U.S. All Capital Securities Index (IOCS), a subset of the ICE BofAML U.S. Corporate Index including all fixedto- floating rate, perpetual callable and capital securities, which better represents the full breadth of the preferred and hybrid securities market, including investment grade and below investment grade exchange traded $25 par preferreds and investment grade and below investment grade rated $1,000 par capital securities; and 3) 20% ICE BofAML Contingent Capital Securities USD Hedged Index (CoCo), which tracks the performance of all contingent capital debt publicly issued in the major domestic and Eurobond markets, including investment grade andsub-investment grade issues. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not include the effects of any applicable sales charges or management fees.

∎

JPI Blended Benchmark Index: The JPI Blended Benchmark is a blended return consisting of: 1) 60% ICE BofAML U.S. All Capital Securities Index (IOCS), a subset of the ICE BofAML U.S. Corporate Index including all fixedto- floating rate, perpetual callable and capital securities, which better represents the full breadth of the preferred and hybrid securities market, including investment grade and below investment grade exchange traded $25 par preferreds and investment grade and below investment grade rated $1,000 par capital securities; and 2) 40% ICE BofAML Contingent Capital Index, which tracks the performance of all contingent capital debt publicly issued in the major domestic and Eurobond markets, including investment grade andsub-investment grade issues. Benchmark returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not include the effects of any sales charges or management fees.

∎

JPS Blended Benchmark: A blended return consisting of: 1) 40% of the ICE BofAML Contingent Capital Securities USD Hedged Index (CoCo), which tracks the performance of all contingent capital debt publicly issued in the major domestic and Eurobond markets, including investment grade and sub-investment-grade issues; and 2) 60% of the ICE BofAML U.S. All Capital Securities Index (IOCS), a subset of the ICE BofAML U.S. Corporate Index including all fixed-to-floating rate, perpetual callable and capital securities, which better represents the full breadth of the preferred and hybrid securities market, including investment grade and below investment grade exchange traded $25 par preferreds and investment grade and below investment grade rated $1,000 par capital securities. Index returns do not include the effects of any sales charges or management fees.

∎

Leverage: Leverage is created whenever a fund has investment exposure (both reward and/or risk) equivalent to more than 100% of the investment capital.

∎

Negative Convexity Risk: A characteristic of callable or pre-payable securities that causes investors to have their principal returned sooner than expected in a declining interest rate environment or later than expected in a rising interest rate environment. In the former scenario, investors may have to reinvest their funds at lower rates (“call risk”); in the latter, they may miss an opportunity to earn higher rates (“extension risk”). The word “convexity” refers to the convex shape of the curve that portrays the security’s price as a function of different yields.

∎

Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: A fund’s Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash, accrued earnings and receivables) less its total liabilities. NAV per share is equal to the fund’s Net Assets divided by its number of shares outstanding.

∎

Option-adjusted spread (OAS): The option-adjusted spread (OAS) for a fixed-income security is the amount of yield that would need to be added to each of the discount rates used to value each of the security’s cash flows (typically based on the yields of U.S. Treasury securities) so that the sum of the discounted value of all of the security’s cash flows matches its market price, using a dynamic pricing model that takes into account any embedded options, such as call features, applicable to the security.

∎

Regulatory Leverage: Regulatory leverage consists of preferred shares issued by or borrowings of a fund. Both of these are part of a fund’s capital structure. Regulatory leverage is subject to asset coverage limits set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

∎

Yield-to-Worst (YTW): Represents the lowest potential yield that an investor would receive on a bond if the issuer does not default. The yield to worst is calculated by making worst-case scenario assumptions on the issue by calculating the returns that would be received if provisions, including prepayment, call or sinking fund, are used by the issuer. The YTW is used to evaluate the worst-case scenario for yield to help investors manage their risk and exposures.

Reinvest Automatically, Easily and Conveniently

Nuveen makes reinvesting easy. A phone call is all it takes to set up your reinvestment account.

Nuveen Closed-End Funds Automatic Reinvestment Plan

Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares.

By choosing to reinvest, you’ll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of compounding. Just like distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on distributions that are reinvested.

It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.

Easy and convenient

To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each quarter you’ll receive a statement showing your total distributions, the date of investment, the shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.

How shares are purchased

The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund’s shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares’ net asset value or 95% of the shares’ market value on the last business day immediately prior to the purchase date. Distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the distribution payment date. No interest will be paid on distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.

Flexible

You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change.

You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan.

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time.
