Performance Highlights • The Nuveen Core Plus Bond ETF returned 2.99% for Common Shares at net asset value (NAV) for the abbreviated reporting period from the Fund’s inception on March 5, 2024, through July 31, 2024. The Fund outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 2.6%. • Top contributors to relative performance » The Fund’s exposure to higher-yielding spread sectors, particularly an out-of-benchmark allocation to high yield corporate bonds and overweight to emerging markets debt. » Underweight to U.S. Treasury bonds and an overweight to mortgage-backed securities (MBS). » Security selection within commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), asset-backed securities (ABS) and corporate bonds. • Top detractors from relative performance » Yield curve positioning, including an underweight to the two- and five-year segments of the curve, as short-term rates decreased during the reporting period. » Security selection within U.S. Treasury bonds. | | Performance Attribution ![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001193125-24-232904/g856699g55a55.jpg) Corporate bonds and emerging markets debt ![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001193125-24-232904/g856699g55a55.jpg) Underweight to U.S. Treasury bonds and MBS ![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001193125-24-232904/g856699g55a55.jpg) CMBS and ABS ![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001193125-24-232904/g856699g55b55.jpg) Yield curve positioning ![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001193125-24-232904/g856699g55b55.jpg) Security selection within U.S. Treasury bonds |

Item 4. | Principal Accountant Fees and Services. |
The following tables show the amount of fees that KPMG LLP, the Funds’ auditor, billed to the Funds during the Funds’ last two full fiscal years.

The pre-approval exception for services provided directly to the Funds waives the pre-approval requirement for services other than audit, review or attest services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Funds during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Funds did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee’s attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the audit is completed.
The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its Chair (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).

Trust:
Opinion
on
the
Financial
Statements
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statements
of
assets
and
liabilities
of
the
funds
listed
in
Appendix
A
(nine
of
the
funds
comprising
Nushares
ETF
Trust)
(the
Funds),
including
the
portfolios
of
investments,
as
of
July 31, 2024,
the
related
statements
of
operations
and
changes
in
net
assets
for
the
Funds
and
periods
listed
in
Appendix
A,
and
the
related
notes
(collectively,
the
financial
statements)
and
the
financial
highlights
for
the
Funds
and
periods
listed
in
Appendix
A.
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Funds
as
of
July 31, 2024,
the
results
of
their
operations
and
changes
in
their
net
assets
for
the
Funds
and
periods
listed
in
Appendix
A,
and
the
financial
highlights
for
the
Funds
and
periods
listed
in
Appendix
A,
in
conformity
with
U.S. generally
accepted
accounting
principles.
Basis
for
Opinion
These
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Funds'
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
these
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights
based
on
our
audits.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(PCAOB)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Funds
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audits
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights.
Such
procedures
also
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
July 31, 2024,
by
correspondence
with
custodians
and
brokers;
when
replies
were
not
received
from
brokers,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
Our
audits
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.
Emphasis
of
Matter
As
discussed
in
note
9
to
the
financial
statements,
the
Board
of
Trustees
approved
the
liquidation
of
Nuveen
Global

effective
October
22,
2024.
Our
opinion
is
not
modified
with
respect
to
this
matter.

Significant
Accounting
Policies
The
accompanying
financial
statements
were
prepared
in
accordance
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
(“U.S.
GAAP”),
which
may
require
the
use
of
estimates
made
by
management
and
the
evaluation
of
subsequent
events.
Actual
results
may
differ
from
those
estimates.
Each
Fund
is
an
investment
company
and
follows
accounting
guidance
in
the
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
(“FASB”)
Accounting
Standards
Codification
946,
Financial
Services
—
Investment
Companies.
The
Net
Asset
Value
("NAV")
for
financial
reporting
purposes
may
differ
from
the
NAV
for
processing
security
and
creation
unit
transactions.
The
NAV
for
financial
reporting
purposes
includes
security
and creation
unit transactions
through
the
date
of
the
report.
Total
return
is
computed
based
on
the
NAV
used
for
processing
security
and creation
unit transactions.
The
following
is
a
summary
of
the
significant
accounting
policies
consistently
followed
by
the
Funds.
Compensation:
The Trust
pays
no
compensation
directly
to
those
of
its officers,
all
of
whom
receive
remuneration
for
their
services
to the
Trust
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.
Distributions
to
Shareholders:
Distributions
to
shareholders
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
The
amount,
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.
Foreign
Currency
Transactions
and
Translation:
The
books
and
records
of
the
Fund
are
maintained
in
U.S.
dollars.
Assets,
including
investments,
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
at
the
end
of
each
day.
Purchases
and
sales
of
securities,
income
and
expenses
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
at
the
prevailing
exchange
rate
on
the
respective
dates
of
the
transactions.
Net
realized
foreign
currency
gains
and
losses
resulting
from
changes
in
exchange
rates
associated
with
(i)
foreign
currency,
(ii)
investments
and
(iii)
derivatives
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
the
Fund
and
the
amounts
actually
received
are
recognized
as
a
component
of
“Net
realized
gain
(loss)
from
foreign
currency
transactions”
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
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
of foreign
currency
translations”
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
net
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)”
on
the
Statement
of
Operations,
when
applicable.
As
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
the
Fund's
investments
in
non-U.S.
securities
were
as
follows:
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
(continued)
Foreign
Taxes:
The
Funds
may
be
subject
to
foreign
taxes
on
income,
gains
on
investments
or
foreign
currency
repatriation,
a
portion
of
which
may
be
recoverable.
The
Funds
will
accrue
such
taxes
and
recoveries
as
applicable,
based
upon
the
current
interpretation
of
tax
rules
and
regulations
that
exist
in
the
markets
in
which
the
Funds
invest.
Indemnifications:
Under
the
Trust’s
organizational
documents,
its
officers
and
trustees
are
indemnified
against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to
the
Trust.
In
addition,
in
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Trust
enters
into
contracts
that
provide
general
indemnifications
to
other
parties.
The
Trust’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
as
this
would
involve
future
claims
that
may
be
made
against
the
Trust
that
have
not
yet
occurred.
However,
the
Trust
has
not
had
prior
claims
or
losses
pursuant
to
these
contracts
and
expects
the
risk
of
loss
to
be
remote.
Investments
and
Investment
Income:
Securities
transactions
are
accounted
for
as
of
the
trade
date
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Realized
gains
and
losses
on
securities
transactions
are
based
upon
the
specific
identification
method.
Dividend
income
is
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Foreign
dividend
income

recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date
or
as
soon
as
possible
after
the
Fund
determines
the
existence
of
a
dividend
declaration.
Non-cash

received
in
the
form
of
stock,
if
any,
are
recognized
on
the
ex-dividend

purposes.
Interest
income
also
reflects
payment-in-kind

Investment
Valuation
and
Fair
Value
Measurements
The
Funds’
investments
in
securities
are
recorded
at
their
estimated
fair
value
utilizing
valuation
methods
approved
by
the
Adviser,
subject
to
oversight
of
the Board.
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.
U.S.
GAAP
establishes
the
three-tier
hierarchy
which
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
management’s
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).
A
description
of
the
valuation
techniques
applied
to
the
Funds’
major
classifications
of
assets
and
liabilities
measured
at
fair
value
follows:
Prices
of
fixed-income
securities
are
generally
provided
by
pricing
services
approved
by
the
Adviser,
which
is
subject
to
review
by
the
Adviser
and
oversight
of
the
Board. Pricing
services
establish
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.
In
pricing
certain
securities,
particularly
less
liquid
and
lower
quality
securities,
pricing
services
may
consider
information
about
a
security,
its
issuer
or
market
activity
provided
by
the
Adviser.
These
securities
are
generally
classified
as
Level
2.
Equity
securities
and
exchange-traded
funds
listed
or
traded
on
a
national
market
or
exchange
are
valued
based
on
their
last
reported
sales
price
or
official
closing
price
of
such
market
or
exchange
on
the
valuation
date.
Foreign
equity
securities
and
registered
investment
companies
that
trade
on
a
foreign
exchange
are
valued
at
the
last
reported
sales
price
or
official
closing
price
on
the
principal
exchange
where
traded,
and
converted
to
U.S.

To
the
extent
these
securities
are

and
no
valuation
adjustments
are
applied,
they
are
generally
classified
as
Level
1.
When
valuation
adjustments
are
applied
to
the
most
recent
last

price
or
official
closing
price,
these
securities
are
generally
classified

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
an
evaluated
price
provided
by
the
pricing
services and
are
generally
classified
as
Level
1
or
2.
Investments
in
investment
companies
are
valued
at
their
respective
NAVs
or
share
price on
the
valuation
date
and
are
generally
classified
as
Level
1.
For
any
portfolio
security
or
derivative
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
or
for
which
the
Adviser
deems
the
valuations
derived
using
the
valuation
procedures
described
above
not
to
reflect
fair
value,
the
Adviser
will
determine
a
fair
value
in
good
faith
using
alternative
procedures
approved
by
the
Adviser,
subject
to
the
oversight
of
the
Board.
As
a
general
principle,
the
fair
value
of
a
security
is
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.
To
the
extent
the
inputs
are
observable
and
timely,
the
values
would
be
classified
as
Level
2;
otherwise
they
would
be
classified
as
Level
3.
The
following
table
summarizes
the
market
value
of
the
Funds’
investments
as
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
based
on
the
inputs
used
to

them:

Portfolio
Securities
Securities
Lending:
Each
Fund
may
lend
securities
representing
up
to
one-third
of
the
value
of
its
total
assets
to
broker-dealers,
banks,
and
other
institutions
in
order
to
generate
additional
income.
When
loaning
securities,
the
Fund
retains
the
benefits
of
owning
the
securities,
including
the
economic
equivalent
of
dividends
or
interest
generated
by
the
security.
The
loans
are
continuous,
can
be
recalled
at
any
time,
and
have
no
set
maturity.
State
Street
Bank
and
Trust
Company,
serves
as
the
securities
lending
agent
(the
“Agent”).
When
a
Fund
loans
its
portfolio
securities,
it
will
receive,
at
the
inception
of
each
loan,
cash
collateral
equal
to
an
amount
not
less
than
100%
of
the
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities.
The
actual
percentage
of
the
cash
collateral
will
vary
depending
upon
the
asset
type
of
the
loaned
securities.
Collateral
for
the
loaned
securities
is
invested
in
a
government
money
market
vehicle
maintained
by
the
Agent,
which
is
subject
to
the
requirements
of
Rule
2a-7
under
the
1940
Act.
The
value
of
the
loaned
securities
and
the
liability
to
return
the
cash
collateral
received
are
recognized
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
If
the
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
increases,
the
borrower
must
furnish
additional
collateral
to
the
Fund,
which
is
also
recognized
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Securities
out
on
loan
are
subject
to
termination
at
any
time
at
the
option
of
the
borrower
or
the
Fund.
Upon
termination,
the
borrower
is
required
to
return
to
the
Fund
securities
identical
to
the
securities
loaned.

Derivative
Investments
Each
Fund
is
authorized
to
invest
in
certain
derivative
instruments.
As
defined
by
U.S.
GAAP,
a
derivative
is
a
financial
instrument
whose
value
is
derived
from
an
underlying
security
price,
foreign
exchange
rate,
interest
rate,
index
of
prices
or
rates,
or
other
variables.
Investments
in
derivatives
as
of
the
end
of
and/or
during
the
current
fiscal
period,
if
any,
are
included
within
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
and
the
Statement
of
Operations,
respectively.
Although
the
Funds
are
authorized
to
invest
in
derivative
instruments,
and
may
do
so
in
the
future,
they
did
not
make
any
such
investments
during
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.

Fund
Shares
Each Fund
issues
and
redeems its
shares
on
a
continuous
basis
at
NAV
only
in
aggregations
of
a
specified
number
of
shares
or
multiples
thereof
(“Creation

Only
certain
institutional
investors
(referred
to
as
“Authorized

who
have
entered
into

shares
of
the
Funds
trade
on
the
Exchange
at
market
prices
and

redeemed
in-kind
for
a
designated
portfolio
of
securities
included
in each
Fund’s
respective Index
and/or
a
specified
amount
of
cash.
Authorized
Participants
are
charged
fixed
transaction
fees
in
connection
with
purchasing
and
redeeming
Creation
Units.
Authorized
Participants
transacting
in
Creation
Units
for
cash
may
also
pay
an
additional
variable
charge
to
compensate
the
relevant Fund
for
certain
transaction
costs
(i.e.,
taxes
on
currency
or
other
financial
transactions,
and
brokerage
costs)
and
market
impact
expenses
it
incurs
in

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
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.
Each
Fund
files
income
tax
returns
in
U.S.
federal
and
applicable
state
and
local
jurisdictions.
A
Fund's
federal
income
tax
returns
are
generally
subject
to
examination
for
a
period
of
three
fiscal
years
after
being
filed.
State
and
local
tax
returns
may
be
subject
to
examination
for
an
additional
period
of
time
depending
on
the
jurisdiction.
Management
has
analyzed
each
Fund's
tax
positions
taken
for
all
open
tax
years
and
has
concluded
that
no
provision
for
income
tax
is
required
in
the
Fund's
financial
statements.
Differences
between
amounts
for
financial
statement
and
federal
income
tax
purposes
are
primarily
due
to
timing
differences
in
recognizing
gains
and
losses
on
investment
transactions.
Temporary
differences
do
not
require
reclassification.
As
of
year
end,
permanent
differences
that
resulted
in
reclassifications
among
the
components
of
net
assets
relate
primarily
to
bond
premium
amortization
adjustments,
complex
securities
character
adjustments,
distribution
reallocations,
foreign
currency
transactions,
paydowns,
redemptions
in-kind,
and
return
of
capital
and
long-term
capital
gain
distributions
received
from
portfolio
investments.
Temporary
and
permanent
differences
have
no
impact
on
a
Fund's
net
assets.
As
of
year
end,
the
aggregate
cost
and
the
net
unrealized
appreciation/(depreciation)
of
all
investments
for
federal
income
tax
purposes
were
as
follows:
For
purposes
of
this
disclosure,
tax
cost
generally
includes
the
cost
of
portfolio
investments
as
well
as
up-front
fees
or
premiums
exchanged
on
derivatives
and
any
amounts
unrealized
for
income
statement
reporting
but
realized
income
and/or
capital
gains
for
tax
reporting,
if
applicable.

Management
Fees
and
Other
Transactions
with
Affiliates
Management
Fees:
Each
Fund’s
management
fee
compensates
the
Adviser
for its
investment
advisory services
to
the
Funds.
The
Sub-Adviser
is
compensated
for
its
services
to
the
Funds
from
the
management
fees
paid
to
the
Adviser.
The
Adviser
is
responsible
for
substantially
all
other
expenses
of
the
Funds,
except
any
future
distribution
and/or
service
fees,
interest
expenses,
taxes,
acquired
fund
fees
and
expenses,
fees
incurred
in
acquiring
and
disposing
of
portfolio
securities,
fees
and
expenses
of
the
independent
trustees
(including
any
trustees’
counsel
fees),
certain
compensation
expenses
of
the
Funds’
chief
compliance
officer,
litigation
expenses
and
extraordinary
expenses.
The
annual management
fee,
payable
monthly,
for
each
Fund
is
based
on
a
percentage
of
average
daily
net
assets
according
to
the
following
rates:
Other
Transactions
with
Affiliates:
NTZG
is
permitted
to
purchase
or
sell
securities
from
or
to
certain
other
funds
or
accounts
managed
by
the
Sub-Adviser
or
by
an
affiliate
of
the
Adviser (each
an
“Affiliated
Entity”)
under
specified
conditions
outlined
in
procedures
adopted
by
the
Board
("cross-trade").
These
procedures
have
been
designed
to
ensure
that
any
cross-trade
of
securities
by
the
Fund
from
or
to
an
Affiliated
Entity
by
virtue
of
having
a
common
investment
adviser
(or
affiliated
investment
adviser),
common
officer
and/or
common
trustee
complies
with
Rule
17a-7
under
the
1940
Act.
These
transactions
are
effected
at
the
current
market
price
(as
provided
by
an
independent
pricing
service)
without
incurring
broker
commissions.
During
the
current

The Board of Trustees (the “Board” and each Trustee, a “Board Member”) of Nushares ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is responsible for determining whether to initially approve or, after an initial term, to renew, the advisory arrangements of the funds comprising the Trust. A discussion of the Board’s most recent approval of the renewal of the advisory arrangements of Nuveen Enhanced Yield U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF, Nuveen ESG 1-5 Year U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF, Nuveen ESG High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, Nuveen ESG U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF and Nuveen Global Net Zero Transition ETF is set forth in Part I below. The advisory arrangements of Nuveen Core Plus Bond ETF, Nuveen Preferred and Income ETF, Nuveen Sustainable Core ETF and Nuveen Ultra Short Income ETF have not yet been up for renewal, and a discussion of the Board’s initial approval of the advisory arrangements of such funds is set forth in Part II below. The Board Members are not “interested persons” (as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”)) and, therefore, the Board is deemed to be comprised of all disinterested Board Members. References to the Board and the Board Members are interchangeable.

The Approval Process
At meetings held on April 18 and 19, 2024 (for purposes of this Part I, the “Meeting”), the Board approved, for each of Nuveen Enhanced Yield U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF, Nuveen ESG 1-5 Year U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF, Nuveen ESG High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, Nuveen ESG U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF and Nuveen Global Net Zero Transition ETF (for purposes of this Part I, collectively, the “Funds” and each a “Fund”), the renewal of the investment management agreement (for purposes of this Part I, each an “Investment Management Agreement”) with Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (for purposes of this Part I, “NFAL”; NFAL is an “Adviser”), pursuant to which NFAL serves as investment adviser to such Fund. Similarly, for each respective Fund, the Board approved the renewal of the sub-advisory agreement (for purposes of this Part I, each a “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with (a) in the case of Nuveen Enhanced Yield U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF, Nuveen ESG 1-5 Year U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF, Nuveen ESG High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and Nuveen ESG U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF, Teachers Advisors, LLC (“TAL”), pursuant to which TAL serves as the sub-adviser to such Fund; and (b) in the case of Nuveen Global Net Zero Transition ETF, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (for purposes of this Part I, “NAM,” and TAL and NAM are each a “Sub-Adviser”), pursuant to which NAM serves as the sub-adviser to such Fund. Below is a summary of the annual review process the Board undertook related to its most recent renewal of each Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement on behalf of the applicable Fund.
In accordance with applicable law, following up to an initial two-year period, the Board considers the renewal of each Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement on behalf of the applicable Fund on an annual basis. For purposes of this Part I, the Investment Management Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements,” and NFAL and the Sub-Advisers are collectively, the “Fund Advisers” and each a “Fund Adviser.” In addition, the fund complex consists of the group of funds advised by NFAL (collectively referred to as the “Nuveen funds”) and the group of funds advised by TAL (collectively referred to as the “TC funds”). For clarity, NFAL serves as Adviser to the Nuveen funds, including the Funds, and TAL, in addition to serving as the sub-adviser to certain Nuveen funds (including certain of the Funds), serves as “Adviser” to the TC funds. The Board Members considered that the prior separate boards of the TC funds and Nuveen funds were consolidated effective in January 2024. Accordingly, at the Meeting, the Board Members considered the review of the advisory agreements for the Nuveen funds as well as reviewed the investment management agreements for the TC funds. Depending on the appropriate context, references to “the Adviser” may be to NFAL with respect to the Nuveen funds and/or TAL with respect to the TC funds.
The Board Members considered the review of the advisory agreements of the Nuveen funds and the TC funds to be an ongoing process. The Board Members therefore employed the accumulated information, knowledge and experience they had gained during their tenure on the respective board of the TC funds or Nuveen funds (as the case may be) governing the applicable funds and working with the respective investment advisers and sub- advisers, as applicable, in their review of the advisory agreements for the fund complex.

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (continued)
During the course of the year prior to the Meeting, the Board and/or its committees received a wide variety of materials that covered a range of topics relevant to the Board’s annual consideration of the renewal of the advisory agreements, including reports on fund investment results over various periods; product initiatives for various funds; fund expenses; compliance, regulatory and risk management matters; trading practices, including soft dollar arrangements (as applicable); the liquidity and derivatives risk management programs; management of distributions; valuation of securities; payments to financial intermediaries (as applicable); securities lending (as applicable); and overall market and regulatory developments. The Board also met periodically with and/or received presentations by key investment professionals managing a fund’s portfolio. In particular, at the Board meeting held on February 27-29, 2024 (the “February Meeting”), the Board and/or its Investment Committee received the annual performance review of the funds as described in further detail below. The presentations, discussions and meetings throughout the year also provide a means for the Board to evaluate and consider the level, breadth and quality of services provided by the Adviser and sub-advisers, as applicable, and how such services have changed over time in light of new or modified regulatory requirements, changes to market conditions or other factors.
In connection with its annual consideration of the advisory agreements, the Board, through its independent legal counsel, requested and received extensive materials and information prepared specifically for its review of the advisory agreements. The materials provided at the Meeting and/or prior meetings covered a wide range of matters including, but not limited to, a description of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Fund Advisers; the consolidation of the Nuveen fund family and TC fund family; a review of product actions advanced in 2023 for the benefit of particular funds and/or the fund complex; a review of each sub-adviser, if applicable, and/or applicable investment team; an analysis of fund performance with a focus on funds considered to have met certain challenged performance measurements; an analysis of the fees and expense ratios of the funds with a focus on funds considered to have certain expense characteristics; a list of management fee and, if applicable, sub-advisory fee schedules; a description of portfolio manager compensation; a description of the profitability and/or financial data of Nuveen, TAL and the sub-advisers; and a description of indirect benefits received by the Adviser and the sub-advisers as a result of their relationships with the funds, as applicable. The Board also considered information provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data, comparing fee and expense levels of each respective fund to those of a peer universe and, with respect to open-end funds, also to a peer group of funds selected by Broadridge, subject to certain exceptions.
The information prepared specifically for the annual review supplemented the information provided to the Board and its committees and the evaluations of the funds by the Board and its committees during the year. The Board’s review of the advisory agreements for the fund complex is based on all the information provided to the Board and its committees over time. The performance, fee and expense data and other information provided by a Fund Adviser, Broadridge or other service providers were not independently verified by the Board Members.
As part of their review, the Board Members and independent legal counsel met by videoconference in executive session on April 10, 2024 (the “April Executive Session”) to review and discuss materials provided in connection with their annual review of the advisory agreements for the fund complex. After reviewing this information, the Board Members requested, directly or through independent legal counsel, additional information, and the Board subsequently reviewed and discussed the responses to these follow-up questions and requests.
The Board Members were advised by independent legal counsel during the annual review process as well as throughout the year, including meeting in executive sessions with such counsel at which no representatives of management were present. In connection with their annual review, the Board Members also received a memorandum from independent legal counsel outlining their fiduciary duties and legal standards in reviewing the Advisory Agreements, including guidance from court cases evaluating advisory fees.
The Board’s decisions to renew each Advisory Agreement were not based on a single identified factor, but rather each decision reflected the comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board and its committees throughout the year as well as the materials prepared specifically in connection with the annual review process. The contractual arrangements may reflect the results of prior year(s) of review, negotiation and information provided in connection with the Board’s annual review of the funds’ advisory arrangements and oversight of the funds. Each Board Member may have attributed different levels of importance to the various factors and information considered in connection with the annual review process and may have placed different emphasis on the relevant information year to year in light of, among other things, changing market and economic conditions. A summary of the principal factors and information, but not all the factors, the Board considered in deciding to renew the Advisory Agreements is set forth below.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In evaluating the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Board Members received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the applicable Fund Adviser’s services provided to each respective Fund with particular focus on the services and enhancements or changes to such services provided during the last year. The Board Members considered the Investment Management Agreements and the Sub- Advisory Agreements separately in the course of their review. With this approach, they considered the roles of NFAL and the Sub-Advisers in providing services to the applicable Fund(s).
The Board considered that the Adviser provides a wide array of management, oversight and other services to manage and operate the applicable funds. The Board considered the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ dedication of resources, time, people and capital as well as continual program of improvement and innovation aimed at enhancing the funds and fund complex for investors and meeting the needs of an increasingly complex regulatory environment. In particular, over the past several years, the Board considered the significant resources, both financial and personnel, the Adviser and its affiliates have committed in working to consolidate the Nuveen fund family and TC fund family under one centralized umbrella. The Board considered that the organizational changes in bringing together Nuveen, its affiliates and TIAA’s (as defined below) asset management
2
businesses, consolidating the Nuveen and TC fund families and other initiatives were anticipated to provide various benefits for the funds through, among other things, enhanced operating efficiencies, centralized investment leadership and a centralized shared resources and support model. As part of these efforts, the boards of the TC funds and Nuveen funds were consolidated effective in January 2024.
The Board also reviewed information regarding other product actions undertaken or continued by management in the 2023 calendar year in seeking to improve the effectiveness of the organization, the product line-up as well as particular funds through, among other things, continuing to review and optimize the product line and gaining efficiencies through mergers and liquidations; reviewing and updating investment policies and benchmarks; implementing fee waivers and/or expense cap changes for certain funds; evaluating and adjusting portfolio management teams as appropriate for various funds; and developing policy positions on a broad range of regulatory proposals that may impact the funds and communicating with lawmakers and other regulatory authorities to help ensure these positions are considered. In its review, the Board considered that the funds operated in a highly regulated industry and the scope and complexity of the services and resources that the Adviser and its affiliates must provide to manage and operate the applicable funds have expanded over the years as a result of, among other things, regulatory, market and other developments, such as the adoption of the tailored shareholder report or the revised fund name rule.
In considering the breadth and quality of services the Adviser and its various teams provide, the Board considered that the Adviser provides investment advisory services. With respect to the Nuveen funds, such funds utilize sub-advisers to manage the portfolios of the funds subject to the supervision of NFAL. Accordingly, the Board considered that NFAL and its affiliates, among other things, oversee and review the performance of the respective sub-adviser and its investment team(s); evaluate Nuveen fund performance and market conditions; evaluate investment strategies and recommend changes thereto; set and manage distributions consistent with the respective Nuveen fund’s product design; oversee trade execution and, as applicable, securities lending; evaluate investment risks; and manage valuation matters. As each Fund is an exchange-traded fund (each an “ETF”), such services also include, but are not limited to, performance monitoring and assessment, evaluating tax efficiencies consistent with portfolio management, reviewing tracking error and analyzing secondary market dynamics. The Board further considered that over the course of the 2023 calendar year, the Nuveen global public product team which supports the funds in the fund complex and their shareholders assessed the investment personnel across the investment leadership teams which resulted in additions or other modifications to the portfolio management teams of various funds. The Board also reviewed a description of the compensation structure applicable to certain portfolio managers.
In addition to the above investment advisory services, the Board further considered the extensive compliance, regulatory, administrative and other services the Adviser and its various teams or affiliates provide to manage and operate the applicable funds. Given the highly regulated industry in which the funds operate, the Board considered the breadth of the Adviser’s compliance program and related policies and procedures. The Board reviewed various initiatives the Adviser’s compliance team undertook or continued in 2023, in part, to address new regulatory requirements, support international business growth and product development, enhance international trading capabilities, enhance monitoring capabilities in light of the new regulatory requirements and guidance and maintain a comprehensive training program. The Board further considered, among other things, that other non-advisory services provided included, among other things, board support and reporting; establishing and reviewing the services provided by other fund service providers (such as a fund’s custodian, accountant, and transfer agent); risk management, including reviews of the liquidity risk management and derivatives risk management programs; legal support services; regulatory advocacy; and cybersecurity, business continuity and disaster recovery planning and testing.
Aside from the services provided, the Board considered the financial resources of the Adviser and/or its affiliates and their willingness to make investments in the technology, personnel and infrastructure to support the funds, including to enhance global talent, middle office systems, software and international and internal capabilities. The Board considered the access provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to a seed capital budget to support new or existing funds and/or facilitate changes for a respective fund. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large fund complex with a variety of investment disciplines, capabilities, expertise and resources available to navigate and support the funds including during stressed times. The Board considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates and the Adviser’s continuing commitment to provide high quality services.
In its review, the Board also considered the significant risks borne by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with their services to the applicable funds, including entrepreneurial risks in sponsoring and supporting new funds and smaller funds and ongoing risks with managing the funds, such as investment, operational, reputational, regulatory, compliance and litigation risks.
With respect to the Funds, the Board considered the division of responsibilities between NFAL and the Sub-Advisers and considered that each Sub-Adviser and its investment personnel generally are responsible for the management of each applicable Fund’s portfolio under the oversight of NFAL and the Board. The Board considered an analysis of each Sub-Adviser provided by NFAL which included, among other things, a summary of changes in the leadership teams and/or portfolio manager teams; the performance of the Nuveen funds sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser over various periods of time; and data reflecting product changes (if any) taken with respect to certain Nuveen funds. The Board considered that NFAL recommended the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
Based on its review, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the respective Funds under each applicable Advisory Agreement.
B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and Fund Advisers
In evaluating the quality of the services provided by the Fund Advisers, the Board also considered a variety of investment performance data of the Funds. In this regard, the Board and/or its Investment Committee reviewed, among other things, net asset value performance of the Funds over the quarter, one-, three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024 (or for such shorter periods to the extent a Fund was not in existence during such periods). The Board performed its annual review of fund performance at its February Meeting and an additional review at the April Executive Session and also reviewed and discussed performance data at its other regularly scheduled quarterly meetings throughout the year. The Board therefore took into account the performance data, presentations and discussions (written and oral) that were provided at the Meeting and in prior meetings over time in evaluating fund performance, including management’s analysis of a fund’s performance with particular
3
Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (continued)
focus on funds that met certain challenged performance measurements as determined pursuant to a methodology approved by the Board or additional measurements as determined by management’s investment analysts. As various Nuveen funds have modified their portfolio teams and/ or made significant changes to their portfolio strategies over time, the Board reviewed, among other things, certain tracking performance data over specific periods comparing performance before and after such changes.
The Board considered that performance data reflects performance over a specified period which may differ significantly depending on the ending dates selected, particularly during periods of market volatility. Further, the Board considered that shareholders may evaluate performance based on their own respective holding periods which may differ from the performance periods reviewed by the Board and lead to differing results.
In its evaluation, the Board reviewed fund performance results from different perspectives. In general, subject to certain exceptions, the Board reviewed both absolute and relative fund performance over the various time periods and considered performance results in light of a fund’s investment objective(s), strategies and risks. With respect to the relative performance, the Board considered fund performance in comparison to the performance of peer funds (the “Performance Peer Group”), subject to certain exceptions, and recognized and/or customized benchmarks (i.e., generally benchmarks derived from multiple recognized benchmarks). In reviewing such comparative performance, the Board was cognizant of the inherent limitations of such data which can make meaningful performance comparisons generally difficult. As an illustration, differences in the composition of the Performance Peer Group, the investment objective(s), strategies, dates of fund inception and other characteristics of the peers in the Performance Peer Group, the level, type and cost of leverage (if any) of the peers, and the varying sizes of peers all may contribute to differences in the performance results of a Performance Peer Group compared to the applicable fund. With respect to relative performance of a fund compared to a benchmark index, differences, among other things, in the investment objective(s) and strategies of a fund and the benchmark (particularly an actively managed fund that does not directly follow an index) as well as the costs of operating a fund would necessarily contribute to differences in performance results and limit the value of the comparative performance information. To assist the Board in its review of the comparability of the relative performance, management generally has ranked the relevancy of the Performance Peer Groups to the funds as low, medium or high, subject to an exception with respect to those funds that are Nuveen ETFs designed to track the performance of a specified index (an “Underlying Index”; each such Nuveen ETF is an “Index ETF”). In its review of relative performance, the Board considered a Fund’s performance relative to its Performance Peer Group, among other things, by evaluating its quartile ranking with the 1st quartile representing the top performing funds within the Performance Peer Group and the 4th quartile representing the lowest performing funds.
With respect to the Funds, the Board considered that Nuveen Enhanced Yield U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF, Nuveen ESG 1-5 Year U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF, Nuveen ESG High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and Nuveen ESG U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF were Index ETFs, and Nuveen Global Net Zero Transition ETF was actively managed.
With respect to the relative benchmark performance for Index ETFs, the Board considered, among other things, the Index ETF’s performance in comparison to the performance of its Underlying Index and a broad-based index from which the Underlying Index is generally derived, the performance of the Underlying Index compared to such broad-based index over the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024 (or such shorter periods for funds that did not exist during those time frames), each Index ETF’s tracking error over various periods and certain peer rankings. However, given the Index ETFs’ investment objective of seeking investment results that correspond generally to the performance of their respective Underlying Index, the Board considered that the extent to which an Index ETF tracked its benchmark was of greater relevance in assessing the performance of these funds and therefore placed more emphasis on the tracking error and correlation data.
The Board evaluated performance in light of various relevant factors which may include, among other things, general market conditions, issuer- specific information, asset class information, leverage and fund cash flows. The Board considered that long-term performance could be impacted by even one period of significant outperformance or underperformance and that a single investment theme could disproportionately affect performance. Further, the Board considered that market and economic conditions may significantly impact a fund’s performance, particularly over shorter periods, and such performance may be more reflective of such economic or market events and not necessarily reflective of management skill. Although the Board reviews short-, intermediate- and longer-term performance data, the Board considered that longer periods of performance may reflect full market cycles.
In their review from year to year, the Board Members consider and may place different emphasis on the relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. In evaluating performance, the Board focused particular attention on funds with less favorable performance records. However, depending on the facts and circumstances, including any differences between the respective fund and its benchmark and/or Performance Peer Group, the Board may be satisfied with a fund’s performance notwithstanding that its performance may be below that of its benchmark and/or peer group for certain periods. With respect to any funds for which the Board has identified performance issues, the Board seeks to monitor such funds more closely until performance improves, discuss with the Adviser the reasons for such results, consider whether any steps are necessary or appropriate to address such issues, discuss and evaluate the potential consequences of such steps and review the results of any steps undertaken.
The performance determinations with respect to each Fund are summarized below.

| • | | For Nuveen Enhanced Yield U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF, the Board considered, among other things, the performance of the Fund and its Underlying Index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024 as well as its tracking error compared to its Underlying Index as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024 and as of each month end for the 2023 calendar year. The Board considered that the Fund ranked in the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-year period, third quartile for the three-year period and second quartile for the five-year period ended December 31, 2023. Further, the Fund ranked in the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-year period and second quartile for the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2024. Given the Fund’s investment objective, however, the Board placed more emphasis on its review of the tracking error and correlation data and after review of such data and other metrics, the Board considered that the Fund had performed in line with expectations in 2023. On the basis of the Board’s ongoing review of investment performance and all relevant factors, including the relative market conditions during certain reporting periods, the Fund’s investment objective(s) and management’s discussion of performance, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance supported renewal of the Advisory Agreements. |

The Board considered that the Fund ranked in the fourth quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024. Given the Fund’s investment objective, however, the Board placed more emphasis on its review of the tracking error and correlation data and after review of such data and other metrics, the Board considered that the Fund had performed in line with expectations in 2023. On the basis of the Board’s ongoing review of investment performance and all relevant factors, including the relative market conditions during certain reporting periods, the Fund’s investment objective(s) and management’s discussion of performance, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance supported renewal of the Advisory Agreements. |

The Board took into account management’s analysis of the Fund’s performance, including the factors that contributed to or detracted from performance and the improved relative performance in the first quarter of 2024. The Board further considered that the Fund was relatively new with performance history too short to make a meaningful assessment of performance, and management deserved additional time to develop a performance record. |

C. Fees, Expenses and Profitability
As part of its annual review, the Board generally reviewed, among other things, the contractual management fee and the net/actual management fee (i.e., the management fee after taking into consideration fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any) paid by a fund to the Adviser in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board also reviewed information about other expenses and the total operating expense ratio of each fund (after any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements). More specifically, the Board Members reviewed, among other things, each fund’s management fee rates and net total expense ratio in relation to similar data for a comparable universe of funds (the “Expense Universe”) and for a more focused subset of comparable funds (the “Expense Group”) established by Broadridge (subject to certain exceptions). The Board Members reviewed the methodology Broadridge employed to establish its Expense Universe and Expense Group (as applicable) and considered that differences between the applicable fund and its respective Expense Universe and/or Expense Group, as well as changes to the composition of the Expense Universe and/or Expense Group from year to year, may limit some of the value of the comparative data. The Board Members also considered that it can be difficult to compare management fees among funds as there are variations in the services that are included for the fees paid. The Board Members took these limitations and differences into account when reviewing comparative peer data.
The Board Members also considered a fund’s operating expense ratio as it more directly reflected a shareholder’s total costs in investing in the respective fund. In their review, the Board Members considered, in particular, each fund with a net total expense ratio meeting certain expense or fee criteria when compared to its Expense Universe and Expense Group (if any) and an analysis as to the factors contributing to each such fund’s relative net total expense ratio.
The Board Members also considered, in relevant part, a fund’s management fee and net total expense ratio in light of the fund’s performance history, including reviewing certain funds identified by management and/or the Board as having a higher net total expense ratio or management fee compared to their respective peers coupled with experiencing periods of challenged performance and considering the reasons for such comparative positions.
In their evaluation of the fee arrangements for the funds, the Board Members also reviewed the management fee schedules. With respect to the Funds, the Board considered that the Funds pay NFAL a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing or paying for all services necessary for the management and operation of the Fund, subject to certain exceptions. Unlike the typical fee arrangements of other funds in which the funds pay a variety of fees and expenses such as investment advisory fees, transfer agency fees, audit fees, custodian fees, administration fees, compliance expenses, recordkeeping expenses, marketing and shareholder service fees, distribution charges and other expenses, Nuveen ETFs, such as the Funds, pay the Adviser a unified fee, and the Adviser is responsible for providing such services or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services (subject to the certain exceptions). Under the unified fee structure, the Board considered that the Adviser generally bears the risks of the operating costs rising (and benefits if such expenses decrease) and therefore has an incentive to be administratively efficient. Accordingly, as part of the Board’s analysis of the fee level of each Nuveen ETF, the Board Members reviewed, among other things, the unified management fee compared to the contractual and actual management fees of its respective Expense Group and Expense Universe, as well as the fund’s net total expense ratio compared to the net total expense ratio of its respective Expense Group and Expense Universe.
With respect to each Sub-Adviser, the Board also considered, among other things, the sub-advisory fee schedule paid to the Sub-Adviser in light of the sub-advisory services provided to the respective Fund. In its review, the Board considered that the compensation paid to each Sub-Adviser is the responsibility of NFAL, not the applicable Fund(s).
The Board’s considerations regarding the comparative fee data for each of the Funds are set forth below. With respect to the quartile rankings noted below, the first quartile represents the range of funds with the lowest management fee rate or net total expense ratio, as applicable, and the fourth quartile represents the range of funds with the highest management fee rate or net total expense ratio, as applicable. The Board considered that Broadridge only calculates quartiles if a minimum number of peers is available and therefore quartile rankings may not be available for certain Expense Groups and/or Expense Universes.
| • | | For Nuveen Enhanced Yield U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF, although the Fund’s contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio each ranked in the fourth quartile of its Expense Universe, each ranked in the second quartile of its Expense Group. In addition, the Fund’s actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio matched the Expense Group median. |
| • | | For Nuveen ESG 1-5 Year U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF, the Fund’s contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio ranked in the first quartile, third quartile and third quartile of its Expense Group, respectively. In addition, although the Fund’s actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio ranked in the fourth quartile of its Expense Universe, the Fund’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the third quartile of its Expense Universe. Further, the Fund’s actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio were each generally in-line with the Expense Group median. |
| • | | For Nuveen ESG High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, the Fund’s contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio each ranked in the second quartile of its Expense Group. In addition, the Fund’s contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio ranked in the first quartile, second quartile and first quartile of its Expense Universe, respectively. Further, the Fund’s actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio were below the Expense Group median. The Fund’s unified management fee also was reduced in September 2021. |

| • | | For Nuveen ESG U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF, although the Fund’s actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio ranked in the fourth quartile of its Expense Group, the Fund’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the second quartile of its Expense Group. In addition, although the Fund’s net total expense ratio ranked in the fourth quartile of its Expense Universe, the Fund’s contractual management fee rate and actual management fee rate ranked in the third quartile of its Expense Universe. Further, the Fund’s actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio were each generally in-line with the Expense Group median. The Fund’s unified management fee also was reduced in September 2021. |
| • | | For Nuveen Global Net Zero Transition ETF, the Fund’s contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio each ranked in the first quartile of its Expense Group and Expense Universe, respectively. Further, the Fund’s actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio were below the Expense Group median. |
Based on its review of the information provided, the Board determined that each Fund’s management fees (as applicable) to a Fund Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund.
| 2. | Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients |
In evaluating the appropriateness of fees, the Board also considered that the Adviser, affiliated sub-advisers and/or their affiliate(s) provide investment management services to other types of clients which may include: separately managed accounts, retail managed accounts, foreign funds (UCITS), other investment companies (as sub-advisers), limited partnerships and collective investment trusts. The Board reviewed the equal weighted average fee or other fee data for the other types of clients managed in a similar manner to certain of the Nuveen funds and TC funds. The Board considered the Adviser’s rationale for the differences in the management fee rates of the funds compared to the management fee rates charged to these other types of clients. In this regard, the Board considered that differences, including but not limited to, the amount, type and level of services provided by the Adviser to the funds compared to that provided to other clients as well as differences in investment policies; regulatory, disclosure and governance requirements; servicing relationships with vendors; the manner of managing such assets; product structure; investor profiles; and account sizes all may contribute to variations in relative fee rates. Further, differences in the client base, governing bodies, distribution, jurisdiction and operational complexities also would contribute to variations in management fees assessed the funds compared to foreign fund clients. In addition, differences in the level of advisory services required for passively managed funds, including the Index ETFs, also contribute to differences in the management fee levels of such funds compared to actively managed funds. As a general matter, higher fee levels reflect higher levels of service provided by the Adviser, increased investment management complexity, greater product management requirements, and higher levels of business risk or some combination of these factors. The Board considered the wide range of services in addition to investment management that the Adviser had provided to the funds compared to other types of clients as well as the increased entrepreneurial, legal and regulatory risks that the Adviser incurs in sponsoring and managing the funds. The Board further considered that a sub-adviser’s fee is essentially for portfolio management services and therefore more comparable to the fees it receives for retail wrap accounts and other external sub- advisory mandates. The Board concluded that the varying levels of fees were reasonable given, among other things, the more extensive services, regulatory requirements and legal liabilities, and the entrepreneurial, legal and regulatory risks incurred in sponsoring and advising a registered investment company compared to that required in advising other types of clients.
| 3. | Profitability of Fund Advisers |
In their review, the Board Members considered various profitability data relating to the Fund Advisers’ services to the Nuveen funds.
With respect to the Nuveen funds, the Board Members reviewed the estimated profitability information of Nuveen as a result of its advisory services to the Nuveen funds overall as well as profitability data of certain other asset management firms. Such profitability information included, among other things, gross and net revenue margins (excluding distribution) of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen Investments”) for services to the Nuveen funds on a pre-tax and after-tax basis for the 2023 and 2022 calendar years as well as the revenues earned (less any expense reimbursements/fee waivers) and expenses incurred by Nuveen Investments for its advisory activities to the Nuveen funds (excluding distribution) for the 2023 and 2022 calendar years. The Board Members also considered the rationale for the change in Nuveen’s profitability from 2022 to 2023. In addition, the Board reviewed the revenues, expenses and operating margin (pre- and after-tax) NFAL derived from its ETF product line for the 2023 and 2022 calendar years.
In developing the profitability data, the Board Members considered the subjective nature of calculating profitability as the information is not audited and is necessarily dependent on cost allocation methodologies to allocate expenses throughout the complex and among the various advisory products. Given there is no single universally recognized expense allocation methodology and that other reasonable and valid allocation methodologies could be employed and could lead to significantly different results, the Board reviewed, among other things, a description of the cost allocation methodologies employed to develop the financial information, a summary of the refinements Nuveen had made to the methodology that had occurred over the years from 2010 through 2021 to provide Nuveen’s profitability analysis, and a historical expense analysis of Nuveen Investments’ revenues, expenses and pre-tax net revenue margins derived from its advisory services to the Nuveen funds (excluding distribution) for the calendar years from 2017 through 2023. The Board of the Nuveen funds had also appointed two Board Members to serve as the Board’s liaisons to meet with representatives of NFAL and review the development of the profitability data and to report to the full Board.
7
Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (continued)
In addition, the Board considered certain comparative operating margin data. In this regard, the Board reviewed the operating margins of Nuveen Investments compared to the adjusted operating margins of a peer group of asset management firms with publicly available data and the most comparable assets under management (based on asset size and asset composition) to Nuveen. The Board considered that the operating margins of the peers were adjusted generally to address that certain services provided by the peers were not provided by Nuveen. The Board also reviewed, among other things, the net revenue margins (pre-tax) of Nuveen Investments on a company-wide basis and the net revenue margins (pre-tax) of Nuveen Investments derived from its services to the Nuveen funds only (including and excluding distribution) compared to the adjusted operating margins of the peer group for each calendar year from 2014 to 2023. In their review of the comparative data, the Board Members considered the limitations of the comparative data given that peer data is not generally public and the calculation of profitability is subjective and affected by numerous factors (such as types of funds a peer manages, its business mix, its cost of capital, the numerous assumptions underlying the methodology used to allocate expenses and other factors) that can have a significant impact on the results.
Aside from the profitability data, the Board considered that NFAL and TAL are affiliates of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”). NFAL is a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC, the investment management arm of TIAA, and TAL is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of TIAA. Accordingly, the Board also reviewed a balance sheet for TIAA reflecting its assets, liabilities and capital and contingency reserves for the 2023 and 2022 calendar years to consider the financial strength of TIAA. The Board considered the benefit of an investment adviser and its parent with significant resources, particularly during periods of market volatility. The Board also considered the reinvestments the Adviser, its parent and/or other affiliates made into their business through, among other things, the investment of seed capital in certain funds, initiatives in international expansion, investments in infrastructure and continued investments in enhancements to technological capabilities.
The Board Members considered the profitability of each Sub-Adviser from its relationships with the respective Nuveen funds. In this regard, with respect to NAM, the Board Members reviewed, among other things, the Sub-Adviser’s revenues, expenses and net revenue margins (pre- and after-tax) for its advisory activities to the respective Nuveen funds for the calendar years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Board Members also reviewed a profitability analysis reflecting the revenues, expenses and revenue margin (pre- and after- tax) grouped by similar types of funds (such as municipal, taxable fixed income, equity, real assets and index/asset allocation) for NAM for the calendar years ending December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. With respect to TAL, the Board Members reviewed, among other things, the revenues, expenses and net operating income for its advisory services to the Nuveen ETFs and Nuveen closed-end funds it sub- advises for the 2023 and 2022 calendar years.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Board Members also considered the indirect benefits NFAL or the Sub-Advisers received that were directly attributable to the management of the applicable funds as discussed in further detail below. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied that each Fund Adviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with each Nuveen fund was not unreasonable over various time frames in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided.
D. Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale
The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the funds in the fund complex, including the Funds, whether these economies of scale have been appropriately shared with such funds and whether there is potential for realization of further economies of scale. Although the Board considered that economies of scale are difficult to measure with any precision and the rates at which certain expenses are incurred may not decline with a rise in assets, the Board considered that there are various methods that may be employed to help share the benefits of economies of scale, including, among other things, through the use of breakpoints in the management fee schedule, fee waivers and/or expense limitations, the pricing of funds at scale at inception and investments in the Adviser’s business which can enhance the services provided to the applicable funds for the fees paid. In this regard, the Board considered that, with respect to the Nuveen funds generally, although the management fee of NFAL typically was comprised of a fund-level component and a complex-level component each with its own breakpoint schedule, the Nuveen ETFs do not have breakpoint schedules. The Board considered that the Nuveen ETFs pay a unified fee and as a result, any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of these funds would benefit the Adviser. However, the Board Members considered that the unified fee schedule provides shareholders with a level of certainty of the expenses of the Nuveen ETFs. The Board Members considered that the unified fees generally provide inherent economies of scale because the Nuveen ETF would maintain a relatively fixed fee over the annual contract period even if the particular fund’s assets declined and/or operating costs rose. The Board Members further considered that the Nuveen ETFs do not participate in the complex-level fee program.
The Board Members also considered the continued reinvestment in Nuveen/TIAA’s business to enhance its capabilities and services to the benefit of its various clients. The Board understood that many of these investments were not specific to individual funds, but rather incurred across a variety of products and services pursuant to which the family of funds as a whole may benefit. The Board further considered that the Adviser and its affiliates have provided certain additional services, including, but not limited to, services required by new regulations and regulatory interpretations, without raising advisory fees to the funds, and this was also a means of sharing economies of scale with the funds and their shareholders. The Board considered the Adviser’s and/or its affiliates’ ongoing efforts to streamline the product line-up, among other things, to create more scaled funds which may help improve both expense and trading economies.
Based on its review, the Board was satisfied that the current fee arrangements together with the reinvestment in management’s business appropriately shared any economies of scale with shareholders.
8
E. Indirect Benefits
The Board Members received and considered information regarding various indirect benefits the respective Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationship with the funds in the fund complex, including the Funds. These benefits included, among other things, economies of scale to the extent the Adviser or its affiliates share investment resources and/or personnel with other clients of the Adviser. The funds may also be used as investment options for other products or businesses offered by the Adviser and/or its affiliates, such as variable products, fund of funds and 529 education savings plans, and affiliates of the Adviser may serve as sub-advisers to various funds in which case all advisory and sub-advisory fees generated by such funds stay within Nuveen.
Further, the funds may pay the Adviser and/or its affiliates for other services, such as distribution. In this regard, the Board Members considered that an affiliate of the Adviser serves as principal underwriter providing distribution and/or shareholder services to the open-end funds for which it may be compensated. In addition, the Board Members considered that the Adviser and Sub-Advisers may utilize soft dollar brokerage arrangements attributable to the respective funds to obtain research and other services for any or all of their clients, although the Board Members also considered reimbursements of such costs by the Adviser and/or applicable Sub-Adviser.
The Adviser and its affiliates may also benefit from the advisory relationships with the funds in the fund complex to the extent this relationship results in potential investors viewing the TIAA group of companies as a leading retirement plan provider in the academic and nonprofit market and a single source for all their financial service needs. The Adviser and/or its affiliates may further benefit to the extent that they have pricing or other information regarding vendors the funds utilize in establishing arrangements with such vendors for other products.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that any indirect benefits received by a Fund Adviser as a result of its relationship with the applicable Fund(s) were reasonable in light of the services provided.
F. Other Considerations
The Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement were reasonable, that the respective Fund Adviser’s fees were reasonable in light of the services provided to each applicable Fund and that the Advisory Agreements be renewed for an additional one-year period.
PART II
Nuveen Core Plus Bond ETF
Nuveen Preferred and Income ETF
Nuveen Sustainable Core ETF
Nuveen Ultra Short Income ETF
The Approval Process
At the meeting held on February 27-29, 2024 (for purposes of this Part II, the “Meeting”), the Board considered and approved for each of Nuveen Core Plus Bond ETF (for purposes of this Part II, the “Core Plus Bond Fund”), Nuveen Preferred and Income ETF (for purposes of this Part II, the “Preferred and Income Fund”), Nuveen Sustainable Core ETF (for purposes of this Part II, the “Sustainable Core Fund”) and Nuveen Ultra Short Income ETF (for purposes of this Part II, the “Ultra Short Income Fund” and, together with the Core Plus Bond Fund, Preferred and Income Fund and Sustainable Core Fund, the “Funds” and each, a “Fund”), each a series of the Trust, the investment management agreement (for purposes of this Part II, each, an “Investment Management Agreement”) pursuant to which Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (for purposes of this Part II, the “Adviser”) serves as investment adviser to such Fund and the investment sub-advisory agreement (for purposes of this Part II, each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) pursuant to which Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (for purposes of this Part II, the “Sub-Adviser”) serves as investment sub-adviser to such Fund. For purposes of this Part II, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are each hereafter a “Fund Adviser.” In addition, for purposes of this Part II, the Investment Management Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are each hereafter an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements.” The Board Members oversee both a group of funds advised by the Adviser (the “Nuveen funds”) and a group of funds advised by Teachers Advisors, LLC (“TAL” and such funds, the “TC funds”), an affiliate of the Adviser, as the result of a consolidation of the boards of the Nuveen funds and the TC funds that became effective in January 2024.
To assist the Board in its evaluation of an Advisory Agreement with a Fund Adviser at the Meeting, the Board Members had received, in adequate time in advance of the Meeting and/or at prior meetings, materials which outlined, among other things:
| • | | the nature, extent and quality of the services expected to be provided by the Fund Adviser; |
| • | | the organization of the Fund Adviser, including the responsibilities of various departments and key personnel; |
| • | | the expertise and background of the Fund Adviser; |
| • | | certain performance-related information (as described below); |
| • | | certain profitability-related information (as described below); |
| • | | the proposed unified fee structure for the Funds, including comparisons of each Fund’s proposed unified fee with the net expense ratios of comparable funds; and |
| • | | the soft dollar practices of the Fund Adviser, if any. |

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (continued)
At the Meeting and/or at prior meetings, the Adviser made presentations to and responded to questions from the Board. During the Meeting and/ or at prior meetings, the Board Members also met privately with their legal counsel to, among other things, review the Board’s duties under the 1940 Act, the general principles of state law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts, the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards of directors have fulfilled their duties, factors to be considered in voting on advisory contracts and an adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements and compensation. It is with this background that the Board Members considered the Advisory Agreements. As outlined in more detail below, the Board Members considered various factors they believed relevant with respect to the Funds. Each Board Member may have accorded different weight to the various factors and information discussed below in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to a Fund’s Advisory Agreements. As applicable, the Board Members also considered information they had received in their capacity as trustees or directors of other registered investment companies advised by the Fund Advisers.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board Members considered the nature, extent and quality of the respective Fund Adviser’s services, including portfolio management services and administrative services. Given that the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser already serve as adviser and sub-adviser, respectively, to other Nuveen funds overseen by the Board Members, the Board has a good understanding of each such Fund Adviser’s organization, operations, personnel and services. As the Board meets regularly throughout the year to oversee the Nuveen funds, including funds currently advised by the Fund Advisers, Board Members may have, in part, relied upon their knowledge from their meetings and any other interactions throughout the year with the respective Fund Adviser in evaluating the Advisory Agreements.
The Board Members considered information about the structure, investment objective, investment strategy and other characteristics of each Fund and considered that in contrast to certain other exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) advised by the Adviser, which seek to track the investment results of a specified underlying index (referred to as “Index ETFs”), each Fund would be actively managed.
At the Meeting and/or at prior meetings, the Board Members reviewed materials outlining, among other things, the respective Fund Adviser’s organization and business; the types of services that such Fund Adviser or its affiliates provide to the Nuveen funds (as applicable) and are expected to provide to the Funds; and the experience of the respective Fund Adviser. Further, at the Meeting and/or at prior meetings, with respect to each Fund, the Board Members have evaluated the background and experience of the relevant investment personnel.
The Board has considered that the Adviser provides a wide array of management, oversight and administrative services to manage and operate the Nuveen funds and that the scope and complexity of these services, along with the undertakings required of the Adviser in connection with providing these services, have expanded over time as a result of, among other things, regulatory, market and other developments. The Board has considered the Adviser’s dedication of resources, time, personnel and capital and commitment to continuing to develop improvements and innovations that seek to enhance the fund complex and meet the needs of the Nuveen funds in an increasingly complex regulatory environment. At the Meeting and/or at prior meetings, the Board received and considered information regarding, among other things, the Adviser’s investment oversight responsibilities, regulatory and compliance services, administrative duties and other services.
Given the Nuveen funds operate in a highly regulated industry, the Board has further considered the extensive compliance, regulatory and administrative services the Adviser and its various teams provide to manage and operate the Nuveen funds. The Board has considered that such services have included, but are not limited to, managing compliance policies; monitoring compliance with applicable policies, laws and regulations; devising internal compliance programs in seeking to enhance compliance with regulatory requirements and creating a framework to review and assess compliance programs; overseeing sub-adviser compliance testing; preparing compliance training materials; and responding to regulatory requests.
In addition to the above functions, the Board has considered the quality and extent of other non-advisory services the Adviser provides including, among other things, various fund administration services (such as preparing, overseeing or assisting with the preparation of tax and regulatory filings); product management services (such as evaluating and enhancing products and strategies); legal support services; shareholder services and transfer agency function oversight services; and board support and reporting services.
The Board Members considered that the Adviser would oversee the Sub-Adviser, which was generally expected to provide portfolio advisory services to the Funds. In addition, the Board Members considered the experience and expertise of the applicable investment team expected to manage each Fund.
Based on its review, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided to the respective Fund under each applicable Advisory Agreement.
B. Investment Performance
Each Fund was new and, therefore, did not have its own performance history. The Board Members, however, were familiar with the performance records of other Nuveen funds advised by the Adviser and sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board Members were aware that the portfolio management team expected to manage the Preferred and Income Fund also managed a mutual fund advised by the Adviser that utilized an investment process that was generally comparable in certain respects to that anticipated for such Fund, and the portfolio management team expected to manage the Core Plus Bond Fund managed a mutual fund advised by TAL that utilized an investment process that was generally comparable in certain respects to that anticipated for such Fund (each of the foregoing mutual funds, a “Comparable Mutual Fund”). The Board Members reviewed certain historical performance-related data pertaining to each Comparable Mutual Fund. Further, with respect to each Fund, the Board Members reviewed certain historical performance-related data pertaining to various unaffiliated ETFs (and, in the case of the Sustainable Core Fund, unaffiliated mutual funds) that, based on information provided by the Adviser, were generally comparable in certain respects to the Fund.
10
C. Fees, Expenses and Profitability
In evaluating the management fees and expenses that each Fund was expected to bear, the Board Members considered that each Fund would pay the Adviser a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing or paying for all services necessary for the management and operation of the Fund, subject to certain exceptions. Unlike the typical fee arrangements of other funds in which the funds pay a variety of fees and expenses such as investment advisory fees, transfer agency fees, audit fees, custodian fees, administration fees, compliance expenses, recordkeeping expenses, marketing and shareholder service fees, distribution charges and other expenses, the Nuveen ETFs pay the Adviser a unified fee, and the Adviser is responsible for providing such services or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services (subject to the certain exceptions). In this regard, the Board Members were provided with estimates of each Fund’s anticipated operating expenses as well as a description of the expenses excluded from the unified fee. In considering the proposed unified fee structure, the Board Members considered that the Adviser would generally bear the risk that certain of the Funds’ operating expenses would increase (but would also benefit if such expenses decrease) and the degree of expense stability that would be afforded to the Funds’ shareholders.
In their review, with respect to each Fund, the Board Members considered, among other things, the Fund’s proposed unified fee compared to expense data relating to the actively managed ETFs included in an anticipated peer group (each, a “Peer Group”). Because each Fund will pay a unified fee, the Board determined that net expense ratios were the most relevant comparative data point. With respect to each Fund, the Board Members considered the range of net expense ratios as well as the average net expense ratio of the ETFs comprising the applicable Peer Group. With respect to each Fund, the Board Members also considered the quartile of the Peer Group in which the Fund was expected to be ranked, based on its expected net expense ratio (with the first quartile representing the range of funds with the lowest net expense ratio and the fourth quartile representing the range of funds with the highest net expense ratio). In addition, with respect to each Fund, the Board Members reviewed expense data relating to a subset of the ETFs in the applicable Peer Group that the Adviser viewed as most relevant to the Fund (each such ETF, a “Comparable Active ETF”). This data included, among other things, for each Comparable Active ETF, its net expense ratio, its assets under management, and, to the extent available, a list of expenses excluded from its unified fee. With respect to the Preferred and Income Fund and the Core Plus Bond Fund, the Board Members also reviewed information regarding the management fee and net expense ratio of the corresponding Comparable Mutual Fund. Further, the Board Members considered the proposed sub-advisory fee for each Fund, which will be paid by the Adviser out of its unified fee.
Based on its review of the fee and expense information provided, the Board Members determined that each Fund’s proposed management fees (as applicable) to a Fund Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided to the Fund.
2. | Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients |
The Board has considered, at the Meeting and/or at prior meetings, that the Fund Advisers provide services to various types of clients. In this regard, the Board has considered information regarding the fee rates that the respective Fund Advisers charge to certain other types of clients and the types of services provided to these other clients. With respect to the Adviser and/or the Sub-Adviser, such other clients may include: retail and institutional managed accounts sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser; hedge funds or other structured products managed by the Sub-Adviser; investment companies offered outside the Nuveen family and sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser; foreign investment companies offered by Nuveen and sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser; and collective investment trusts sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser. The Board has further considered that the Adviser also advises, and the Sub-Adviser sub-advises, certain additional ETFs sponsored by Nuveen. The Board considered that the Sub-Adviser is an affiliated sub-adviser and, with respect to affiliated sub-advisers, has reviewed, among other things, the range of fees assessed for managed accounts, hedge funds (along with their performance fee), foreign investment companies and ETFs offered by Nuveen, as applicable. The Board has also reviewed the fee range and average fee rate of certain selected investment strategies offered in retail and institutional managed accounts sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser, the hedge funds advised by the Sub-Adviser (along with their performance fee) and non-Nuveen investment companies sub-advised by certain affiliated sub-advisers.
11
Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (continued)
In considering the comparative fee data, the Board has considered that differences, including but not limited to, the amount, type and level of services provided by the Adviser to the Nuveen funds compared to that provided to other clients as well as differences in investment policies; eligible portfolio assets and the manner of managing such assets; product structure; investor profiles; account sizes; and regulatory requirements contribute to the variations in the fee schedules. Similarly, differences in the client base, governing bodies, distribution jurisdiction and operational complexities would also contribute to variations in management fees assessed the Nuveen funds compared to foreign fund clients. Further, with respect to ETFs, the Board has considered that the Index ETFs are passively managed compared to the active management of other Nuveen funds, which has also contributed to the differences in fee levels between such Index ETFs and the actively managed funds. The Board has considered the wide range of services in addition to investment management that the Adviser provides to the Nuveen funds compared to other types of clients as well as the increased entrepreneurial, legal and regulatory risks that the Adviser incurs in sponsoring and managing the Nuveen funds. In general, higher fee levels reflect higher levels of service provided by the Adviser, increased investment management complexity, greater product management requirements, and higher levels of business risk or some combination of these factors. The Board has further considered that the Sub-Adviser’s fee is essentially for portfolio management services and therefore more comparable to the fees it receives for retail wrap accounts and other external sub-advisory mandates. The Board has considered that the varying levels of fees are justified given, among other things, the more extensive services, regulatory requirements and legal liabilities, and the entrepreneurial, legal and regulatory risks incurred in sponsoring and advising a registered investment company compared to that required in advising other types of clients.
3. | Profitability of Fund Advisers |
In conjunction with their review of fees, at the Meeting and/or at prior meetings, the Board Members have considered profitability and other financial data for Nuveen, including estimated profitability information of Nuveen as a result of its advisory services to the Nuveen funds as well as profitability data of certain other asset management firms. Such profitability information has included, among other things, gross and net revenue margins (excluding distribution) of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen Investments”) for services to the Nuveen funds on a pre-tax and after-tax basis for the 2022 and 2021 calendar years as well as the revenues earned (less any expense reimbursements/fee waivers) and expenses incurred by Nuveen Investments for its advisory activities to the Nuveen funds (excluding distribution and certain other expenses) for the 2022 and 2021 calendar years. The Board Members have also considered a summary of some of the key factors that impacted Nuveen’s profitability in 2022. In addition, the Board has considered the revenues, expenses and operating margin (pre- and after-tax) the Adviser derived from its ETF product line for the 2022 and 2021 calendar years.
In developing the profitability data of the Adviser for its advisory services to the Nuveen funds, the Board Members have considered the subjective nature of calculating profitability as the information is not audited and is necessarily dependent on cost allocation methodologies to allocate expenses throughout the complex and among the various advisory products. Given there is no single universally recognized expense allocation methodology and that other reasonable and valid allocation methodologies could be employed and could lead to significantly different results, the Board has reviewed, among other things, a description of the cost allocation methodologies employed to develop the financial information, a summary of the history of changes to the methodology over the years from 2010 through 2022, and a historical expense analysis of Nuveen Investments’ revenues, expenses and pre-tax net revenue margins derived from its advisory services to the Nuveen funds (excluding distribution) for the calendar years from 2017 through 2022. The Board had also appointed four Board Members to serve as the Board’s liaisons, with the assistance of independent counsel, to meet with representatives of the Adviser and review the development of the profitability data and to report to the full Board.
In addition, the Board has considered certain comparative operating margin data. In this regard, the Board has reviewed the operating margins of Nuveen Investments compared to the adjusted operating margins of a peer group of asset management firms with publicly available data and the most comparable assets under management (based on asset size and asset composition) to Nuveen. The Board has considered that the operating margins of the peers were adjusted generally to address that certain services provided by the peers were not provided by Nuveen. The Board has also reviewed, among other things, the net revenue margins (pre-tax) of Nuveen Investments on a company-wide basis and the net revenue margins (pre-tax) of Nuveen Investments derived from its services to the Nuveen funds only (including and excluding distribution) compared to the adjusted operating margins of the peer group for each calendar year from 2012 to 2022. Although the total company operating margins of Nuveen Investments were in the bottom half of the peer group range for 2022 and 2021, the Board Members have considered the limitations of the comparative data given that peer data is not generally public and the calculation of profitability is subjective and affected by numerous factors (such as types of funds a peer manages, its business mix, its cost of capital, the numerous assumptions underlying the methodology used to allocate expenses and other factors) that can have a significant impact on the results.
Aside from Nuveen’s profitability, the Board has considered that the Adviser is a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC, the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”). Accordingly, the Board has also reviewed a balance sheet for TIAA reflecting its assets, liabilities and capital and contingency reserves for the 2022 and 2021 calendar years to consider the financial strength of TIAA. The Board has considered the benefit of an investment adviser and its parent with significant resources, particularly during periods of market volatility. The Board has also considered the reinvestments Nuveen, its parent and/or other affiliates have made into its business through, among other things, the investment of seed capital in certain Nuveen funds and continued investments in enhancements to technological capabilities.

In addition to Nuveen, the Board Members have considered the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from its relationships with the respective Nuveen funds. In this regard, the Board Members have reviewed, among other things, the Sub-Adviser’s revenues, expenses and net revenue margins (pre- and after-tax) for its advisory activities to the respective Nuveen funds for the calendar years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Board Members have also reviewed a profitability analysis reflecting the revenues, expenses and revenue margin (pre- and after-tax) by asset type for the Sub-Adviser for the calendar years ending December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Board Members have also considered any other ancillary benefits derived by the respective Fund Adviser from its relationship with the Nuveen funds as discussed in further detail below.
Based on its consideration of the information provided, the Board was satisfied that Nuveen’s and the Sub-Adviser’s level of profitability was acceptable and not unreasonable in light of the services to be provided.
D. Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale
The Board considered whether the Funds could be expected to benefit from any economies of scale. The Board has considered that although economies of scale are difficult to measure and certain expenses may not decline with a rise in assets, there are several methods to help share the benefits of economies of scale, including breakpoints in the management fee schedule, fee waivers and/or expense limitations, the pricing of Nuveen funds at scale at inception and investments in Nuveen’s business which can enhance the services provided to the Nuveen funds for the fees paid. The Board has considered that with respect to the Nuveen funds generally, although the management fee of the Adviser is typically comprised of a fund-level component and a complex-level component, each with its own breakpoint schedule, the Nuveen ETFs do not have breakpoint schedules and do not participate in the complex-level fee program. Similarly, the Funds will not have breakpoint schedules, participate in the complex-level fee program or have expense limitation agreements given that, as described above, the Adviser will generally pay the operating expenses of each Fund (subject to certain exceptions) under the unified fee structure. The Board also considered that the Adviser would benefit from any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the Funds, but that the unified fee schedule provides shareholders with a level of certainty of the expenses of a Fund. Further, the Board Members considered that the Funds’ unified fee structure generally provides inherent economies of scale because a Fund would maintain a relatively fixed fee over a given time period even if its assets declined and/or operating expenses rose. The Board Members also considered the Adviser’s representation that the Funds were being priced using an at-scale approach.
Based on its review, with respect to each Fund, the Board was satisfied that the proposed fee arrangements would appropriately share any economies of scale with the Fund’s shareholders.
E. Indirect Benefits
At the Meeting and/or prior meetings, the Board Members have received and considered information regarding other benefits the respective Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationship with the Nuveen funds. In addition, the Board Members have considered that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser may utilize soft dollar brokerage arrangements attributable to the respective Nuveen funds to obtain research and other services for any or all of their clients, although the Board Members have also considered reimbursements of such costs by the Adviser and/or Sub- Adviser.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that any indirect benefits expected to be received by a Fund Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Funds were reasonable in light of the services expected to be provided.
F. Approval
The Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. With respect to each Fund, the Board Members concluded that the terms of the applicable Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable, that the Fund Advisers’ fees were reasonable in light of the services expected to be provided to the Fund, and that the applicable Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement should be and were approved on behalf of the Fund.
