| Item 8.01 | Other Events |
The Board of Trustees of Nuveen Multi-Asset Income Fund (the “Fund”) has approved the terminations by the Fund’s investment adviser, Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (“Nuveen Fund Advisors”), of its sub-advisory agreements with NWQ Investment Management Company, LLC (“NWQ”) and Santa Barbara Asset Management, LLC (“Santa Barbara”) with respect to the Fund, effective December 31, 2021. The terminations were approved in connection with the transfer of investment management personnel from NWQ and Santa Barbara into their affiliate, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“Nuveen Asset Management”), also a sub-adviser to the Fund, which will occur on December 31, 2021. On that date, any Fund assets managed by NWQ or Santa Barbara will be reallocated to Nuveen Asset Management, with the NWQ and Santa Barbara personnel who currently serve as portfolio managers continuing to do so as Nuveen Asset Management personnel. The terms of Nuveen Asset Management’s existing sub-advisory agreement with respect to the Fund are substantially identical to the terms of NWQ’s and Santa Barbara’s sub-advisory agreements. As such, this change will have no impact on the Fund’s fees, nor will it impact the Fund’s investment objective or policies. Nuveen Fund Advisors, Nuveen Asset Management, NWQ and Santa Barbara are subsidiaries of Nuveen, LLC.
