Chair’s
Letter
to
Shareholders
Dear
Shareholders,
With
more
economic
indicators
pointing
to
a
broadening
contraction
across
the
world’s
economies,
the
conversation
has
shifted
from
debating
whether
a
global
recession
would
happen
to
considering
by
how
much
and
for
how
long.
Higher
than
expected
inflation
has
made
the
outcome
more
unpredictable,
as
it
has
dampened
consumer
sentiment,
pushed
central
banks
into
raising
interest
rates
more
aggressively
and
contributed
to
considerable
turbulence
in
the
markets
this
year.
Inflation
has
surged
partially
due
to
pandemic-related
supply
chain
bottlenecks,
exacerbated
by
Russia’s
war
in
Ukraine
and
recurring
lockdowns
across
China
to
contain
a
large-scale
COVID-19
outbreak.
This
has
necessitated
increasingly
forceful
responses
from
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(Fed)
and
other
central
banks,
who
have
signaled
their
intentions
to
slow
inflation
while
tolerating
materially
slower
economic
growth
and
some
softening
in
the
labor
market.
As
anticipated,
the
Fed
began
the
rate
hiking
cycle
in
March
2022,
raising
its
short-
term
rate
by
0.25%
from
near
zero
for
the
first
time
since
the
pandemic
was
declared
more
than
two
years
ago.
Larger
increases
of
0.50%
in
May,
four
increases
of
0.75%
during
the
summer
and
fall,
and
another
0.50%
hike
in
December
2022
followed,
bringing
the
target
fed
funds
rate
to
a
range
of
4.25%
to
4.50%.
Additional
rate
hikes
are
expected
in
2023,
as
Fed
officials
closely
monitor
inflation
data
along
with
other
economic
measures
and
will
modify
their
rate
setting
policy
based
upon
these
factors.
After
contracting
in
the
first
half
of
2022,
U.S.
gross
domestic
product
resumed
positive
growth
in
the
third
quarter,
according
to
the
government’s
estimates.
The
recent
strength
was
largely
attributed
to
a
narrowing
in
the
trade
deficit
while
consumer
and
business
activity
has
remained
slower
in
part
due
to
higher
prices
and
borrowing
costs.
The
sharp
increase
in
the
U.S.
dollar’s
value
relative
to
other
currencies
in
2022
has
added
further
uncertainty
to
the
economic
outlook.
However,
the
still
strong
labor
market
suggests
not
all
areas
of
the
economy
are
weakening
in
unison.
While
markets
will
likely
continue
fluctuating
with
the
daily
headlines,
we
encourage
investors
to
keep
a
long-term
perspective.
To
learn
more
about
how
well
your
portfolio
is
aligned
to
your
time
horizon,
risk
tolerance
and
investment
goals,
consider
reviewing
it
with
your
financial
professional.
On
behalf
of
the
other
members
of
the
Nuveen
Fund
Board,
we
look
forward
to
continuing
to
earn
your
trust
in
the
months
and
years
ahead.

Here
the
portfolio
management
teams
discuss
U.S.
economic
and
market
conditions,
key
investment
strategies
and
the
performance
of
the
Funds
for
the
twelve-month
reporting
period
ended
October
31,
2022.
For
more
information

each

prospectus.
What
factors
affected
the
U.S.
economy
and
financial
markets
during
the
twelve-month
reporting
period
ended
October
31,
2022?
After
recovering
from
the
pandemic
in
2021,
the
U.S.
economy
weakened
in
2022.
Overall,
2021
gross
domestic
product
(GDP)
grew
by
5.7%
as
the
economy
reopened
with
the
help
of
$5.3
trillion
in
crisis-related
aid
from
the
federal
government,
low
borrowing
rates
for
businesses
and
individuals,
an
increase
in
COVID-19
vaccinations
and
improved
treatments
for
COVID-19.
However,
in
early
2022,
China’s
COVID-19
lockdown
and
the
Russia-Ukraine
war
worsened
existing
pandemic-related
supply
chain
disruptions.
Inflation
increased
more
than
expected
over
much
of
2022,
putting
pressure
on
global
central
banks
to
respond
with
more
aggressive
measures.
The
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(Fed)
began
an
interest
rate
hiking
cycle
in
March
2022,
raising
its
short-term
rate
by
0.25%
from
near
zero
for
the
first
time
since
the
pandemic
was
declared
more
than
two
years
ago.
Larger
increases
of
0.50%
in
May
2022,
three
increases
of
0.75%
during
the
summer
and
fall,
and
additional
hikes
of
0.75%
in
November
2022
and
0.50%
in
December
2022
(subsequent
to
the
end
of
the
reporting
period)
followed,
bringing
the
target
fed
funds
rate
to
a
range
of
4.25%
to
4.50%.
Volatility
increased
as
markets
considered
whether
the
Fed
could
cool
inflation
without
causing
a
recession.
Additionally,
the
U.S.
dollar
appreciated
significantly
relative
to
major
world
currencies,
accelerating
in
March
2022,
serving
as
a
headwind
to
the
profits
of
international
companies
and
U.S.
domestic
companies
with
overseas
earnings.
The
dollar’s
appreciation
was
driven
in
part
by
the
Fed’s
increasingly
forceful
response
to
inflation
compared
with
other
central
banks,
the
relatively
better
prospects
of
the
U.S.
economy
and
“safe-haven”
flows
from
investors
uncertain
about
geopolitical
and
global
economic
conditions.
In
September
2022,
global
currency
and
bond
markets
sold
off
sharply
on
concerns
about
the
U.K.’s
new
fiscal
spending
plan,
but
recovered
in
October
2022
after
the
plan
was
mostly
withdrawn
and
a
new
prime
minster
was
announced.
By
mid-year
2022,
inflation
and
higher
borrowing
costs
appeared
to
be
dampening
consumer
confidence
and
consumer
spending.
U.S.
GDP
contracted
in
the
first
half
of
2022,
falling
by
an
annual
rate
of
1.6%
and
0.6%
in
the
first
and
second
quarters
of
2022,
respectively,
according
to
the
U.S.
Bureau
of
Economic
Analysis.
However,
the
labor
market,
another
key
gauge
of
the
economy’s
health,
has
remained
resilient.
By
July
2022,
the
economy
had
recovered
the
22
million
jobs
lost
since
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic,
and
as
of
October
2022,
the
unemployment
rate
remained
near
its
pre-pandemic
low
at
3.7%.
U.S.
GDP
returned
to
expansion
in
the
third
quarter
of
2022,
growing
by
2.9%
(annualized)
according
to
the
government’s
second
estimate,
but
the
gains
were
primarily
related
to
trade
balance
adjustments.
Nuveen
Dividend
Value
Fund
What
key
strategies
were
used
to
manage
the
Fund
during
the
twelve-month
reporting
period
ended
October
31,
2022?
The
Fund
seeks
to
provide
long-term
growth
of
capital
and
income
by
investing
primarily
in
a
diversified
portfolio
of
high-conviction,
dividend-paying
stocks
and
employing
a
long-term
approach
with
a
typical
investment
horizon
of
at
least
two
to
three
years.
The
Fund
attempts
to
maintain
a
dividend
that
will
grow
over
time.
As
a
result,
higher
yielding
equity
securities
will
generally
represent
Portfolio
Managers’
Comments
(continued)
the
core
holdings
of
the
Fund.
However,
the
Fund
also
may
invest
in
lower
yielding,
higher-growth
equity
securities
if
the
portfolio
management
team
believes
they
will
help
balance
the
portfolio.
How
did
the
Fund
perform
during
the
twelve-month
reporting
period
ended
October
31,
2022?
The
Nuveen
Dividend
Value
Fund’s
Class
A
Shares
at
NAV
outperformed
the
Russell
1000®
Value
Index
for
the
twelve-month
reporting
period
ended
October
31,
2022.
For
purposes
of
this
Performance
Commentary,
references
to
relative
performance
are
in
comparison
to
the
Russell
1000®
Value
Index.
Strong
security
selection
drove
the
majority
of
the
Fund’s
outperformance
versus
the
benchmark
during
the
reporting
period,
along
with
a
modest
positive
impact
from
sector
allocations.
Stock
selection
contributed
across
seven
of
the
11
sectors,
particularly
among
the
Fund’s
health
care,
financials
and
industrials
holdings.
Overall,
health
care
was
the
greatest
source
of
strength
for
the
Fund
because
of
its
focus
on
managed
care
companies,
such
as
top
contributor
Cigna
Corp.
The
company’s
quarterly
earnings
exceeded
expectations
with
strong
performance
in
membership,
medical
loss
ratio
and
investment
income.
The
Fund
continues
to
hold
Cigna.
In
the
financials
sector,
the
Fund
added
a
position
in
LPL
Financial
Holdings
Inc.
after
the
stock
came
under
pressure
earlier
in
the
reporting
period.
Rising
interest
rates
and
solid
growth
in
net
new
assets
subsequently
provided
a
tailwind
for
the
shares
during
a
challenging
macro
environment.
LPL
Financial
ended
the
period
as
the
sector’s
top
performer.
The
Fund
maintains
a
position
in
LPL
Financial.
Performance
also
benefited
from
the
Fund’s
significant
underweight
in
communications
services,
the
weakest-performing
sector
during
the
period.
The
Fund
found
very
few
attractive
dividend-paying
opportunities
in
this
sector.
The
biggest
driver
was
the
Fund’s
lack
of
exposure
to
Meta
Platforms
Inc.,
which
was
added
to
the
benchmark
during
the
reporting
period.
The
Fund’s
outperformance
was
modestly
offset
by
a
slight
underweight
in
the
energy
sector,
which
was
the
strongest-performing
sector
in
the
index
during
the
reporting
period.
Although
a
position
in
exploration
and
production
firm
Pioneer
Natural
Resources
Company
was
the
Fund’s
largest
single
contributor
during
the
reporting
period,
lack
of
exposure
to
Exxon
Mobil
Corporation
and
Chevron
Corporation
was
the
biggest
drag
on
performance.
In
general,
shares
of
energy
companies
performed
strongly
as
oil
prices
reached
a
seven-year
high,
given
robust
demand
and
the
instability
caused
by
the
Russia-Ukraine
war.
However,
the
Fund
avoided
Exxon
Mobil
because
the
company
continues
to
use
near-term
excess
cash
to
pay
down
debt,
including
plans
to
moderate
dividends
and
share
buybacks
along
with
building
its
cash
balance.
Lack
of
exposure
to
Chevron
was
based
on
the
company’s
shares
trading
at
a
noticeable
premium
to
peers.

What
key
strategies
were
used
to
manage
the
Fund
during
the
twelve-month
reporting
period
ended
October
31,
2022?
The
Fund’s
investment
objective
seeks
long-term
capital
appreciation.
The
Fund
invests
primarily
in
a
diversified,
large-cap
core
stock
portfolio
of
both
growth
and
value
companies.
The
portfolio
management
team
will
select
companies
based
on
a
combination
of
value
and
growth
objectives,
seeking
companies
that
meet
criteria
such
as
attractive
valuation
relative
to
other
companies
in
the
same
industry
or
market,
strong
or
improving
fundamentals,
strong
competitive
position,
and
an
identifiable
catalyst
that
could
increase
the
value
of
the
company’s
stock
within
two
years.
How
did
the
Fund
perform
during
the
twelve-month
reporting
period
ended
October
31,
2022?
The
Nuveen
Large
Cap
Select
Fund’s
Class
A
Shares
at
NAV
underperformed
the
S&P
500®
Index
for
the
twelve-month
reporting
period
ended
October
31,
2022.
For
purposes
of
this
Performance
Commentary,
references
to
relative
performance
are
in
comparison
to
the
S&P
500®
Index.
The
Fund’s
underperformance
versus
the
benchmark
primarily
resulted
from
security
selection,
particularly
in
the
consumer
discretionary,
information
technology,
and
materials
sectors.
In
the
consumer
discretionary
sector,
shares
of
athletic
apparel
retailer
Under
Armour
Inc.
declined
after
the
company
reported
sales
below
estimates
and
an
unexpected
loss
resulting
from
global
supply
chain
issues
and
Covid-related
lockdowns
in
China.
The
Fund
no
longer
holds
Under
Armour.
In
the
technology
sector,
the
Fund’s
underweight
position
in
Apple
Inc.,
detracted
from
relative
performance.
Apple
Inc.
shares
reached
an
all-time
high
in
December
2021
before
selling
off
later
in
the
reporting
period
following
weaker-than-expected
sales
of
its
latest
iPhone.
The
Fund
maintains
underweight
exposure
to
Apple
because
of
the
company’s
large
weighting
in
the
index.
Also,
the
Fund’s
lack
of
exposure
to
Exxon
Mobil
Corporation
and
Chevron
Corporation
hindered
results
in
the
energy
sector,
more
than
offsetting
strong
performance
from
a
position
in
Pioneer
Natural
Resources
Company.
Shares
of
most
energy
companies
advanced
strongly
as
oil
prices
reached
a
seven-
year
high,
given
robust
demand
and
the
instability
caused
by

The

was
based
on

The

was
partially
offset
by
favorable

the
weakest-performing
sector
during
the
period.
Security
selection
in
the
health
care
and
financials
sectors
was
also
a
source
of
strength
for
the
Fund.
In
the
health
care
sector,
Cigna
Corp.
was
a
top
contributor.
The
company’s
quarterly
earnings
exceeded
expectations
with
strong
performance
in
membership,
medical
loss
ratio
and
investment
income.
The
Fund
continues
to
hold
Cigna.
In
the
financials
sector,
the
Fund
added
a
position
in
LPL
Financial
Holdings
Inc.
after
the
stock
came
under
pressure
earlier
in
the
reporting
period.
Rising
interest
rates
and
solid
growth
in
net
new
assets
subsequently
provided
a
tailwind
for
the
shares
during
a
challenging
macro
environment.
LPL
Financial
ended
the
period
as
the
sector’s
top
performer.
The

maintains
a
position
in

What

The

seeks
long-term

appreciation.
The

invests
primarily
in
a
diversified,
mid-cap

and
using
a

In

that

How
did
the
Fund
perform
during
the
twelve-month
reporting
period
ended
October
31,
2022?
The
Nuveen
Mid
Cap
Growth
Opportunities
Fund’s
Class
A
Shares
at
NAV
significantly
underperformed
the
Russell
Midcap®
Growth
Index
for
the
twelve-month

ended
October

For
purposes
of
this
Performance
Commentary,
references
to
relative
performance
are
in
comparison
to
the
Russell
Midcap®
Growth
Index.
The
Fund’s
underperformance
versus
the
benchmark
was
the
result
of
unfavorable
security
selection,
particularly
in
the
information
technology,
consumer
discretionary
and
health
care
sectors.
In
the
information
technology
sector,
software
provider
Avalara
Inc.
detracted.
Despite
strong
fundamentals,
the
company’s
shares
sold
off
as
rapidly
rising
interest
rates
drove
widespread
underperformance
across
high-growth
technology
stocks,
particularly
Covid
beneficiaries
like
Avalara.
The
Fund
no
longer
holds
Avalara.
In
the
consumer
discretionary
sector,
the
Fund
experienced
weak
performance
from
YETI
Holdings
Inc.,
a
premium
outdoor
lifestyle
brand.
The
company
has
been
negatively
impacted
in
2022
by
supply
chain
constraints
and
higher-than-anticipated
freight
costs.
Given
the
higher
price
point
and
discretionary
nature
of
YETI’s
products
during
an
uncertain
consumer
macro
environment,
the
Fund
exited
the
position
at
the
end
of
the
reporting
period.
The
Fund’s
most
significant
laggard
was
manufacturing
company
Generac
Holdings
Inc.
Demand
for
the
company’s
products
has
been
negatively
impacted
by
the
housing
market
slowdown.
Given
the
uncertainty
around
the
housing
market
and
expectations
that
new
home
starts
could
fall
in
2023,
the
Fund
exited
its
position
in
Generac
Holdings.
The
Fund’s
underperformance
was
partially
offset
by
favorable
sector
allocations,
led
by
an
overweight
in
the
energy
sector,
which
was
the
strongest-performing
sector
in
the
index
during
the
reporting
period.
Rising
oil
prices,
a
challenging
supply
and
demand
dynamic
and
geopolitical
tensions
drove
widespread
investor
demand
for
energy
stocks,
an
area
that
is
often
neglected
by
growth-oriented
investors.
The
Fund’s
top
performer
was
independent
oil
and
gas
exploration
and
production
firm
Pioneer
Natural
Resources
Company,
which
reported
strong
free
cash
flow
and
quarterly
results
that
topped
expectations.
Pioneer
management
also
reinforced
its
capital
return
messaging
with
large
dividend
increases
and
plans
to
use
excess
cash
flow
for
share
buybacks.
The
Fund
continues
to
hold
Pioneer
Natural

Company.

How
did
the
Fund
perform
during
the
twelve-month
reporting
period
ended
October
31,
2022?
The
Nuveen
Mid
Cap
Value
Fund’s
Class
A
Shares
at
NAV
outperformed
the
Russell
Midcap®
Value
Index
for
the
twelve-month
reporting
period
ended
October
31,
2022.
For
purposes
of
this
Performance
Commentary,

to
relative
performance
are
in

Value
Index.
Strong
security
selection
and
favorable
sector
allocations
drove
the
Fund’s
outperformance
versus
the
benchmark
during
the
reporting
period.
Stock
selection
contributed
across
most
sectors,
particularly
among
the
Fund’s
health
care,
industrial,
information
technology
and
energy
holdings.
The
Fund
also
benefited
from
an
underweight
position
in
communication
services,
the
weakest-
performing
sector,
and
an
overweight
position
in
the
energy
sector,
which
was
by
far
the
strongest
performer
in
the
benchmark.
Several
individual
holdings
in
the
energy
sector
were
among
the
Fund’s
top
contributors
as
rising
oil
prices,
a
challenging
supply
and
demand
dynamic
and
geopolitical
tensions
drove
widespread
investor
demand
for
energy
stocks.
Two
exploration
and
production
companies,
Devon
Energy
Corporation
and
Pioneer
Natural
Resources
Company,
reported
strong
free
cash
flow
and
quarterly
results
that
topped
expectations.
Following
the
favorable
results,
the
Fund
sold
Pioneer
Natural
Resources
during
the
reporting
period
and
trimmed
its
exposure
to
Devon
Energy.
In
the
health
care
sector,
shares
of
biotechnology
firm
United
Therapeutics
Corporation
rallied
in
May
2022
following
the
U.S.
Food
and
Drug
Administration’s
approval
of
Tyvaso
DPI,
a
dry
powder
inhaler;
this
new
treatment
for
pulmonary
hypertension
expands
the
company’s
product
portfolio
and
addressable
market.
The
Fund
continues
to
maintain
its
position
in
United
Therapeutics
and
increased
exposure
during
the
reporting
period.
The
Fund’s
outperformance
was
modestly
offset
by
negative
security
selection
and
an
underweight
position
in
the
consumer
staples
sector
during
the
reporting
period.
Shares
of
home
and
consumer
products
company
Spectrum
Brands
Holdings,
Inc.
detracted
after
its
planned
deal
to
sell
its
Hardware
and
Home
Improvement
segment
to
Swedish
company
ASSA
ABLOY
was
blocked
by
the
Department
of
Justice.
Third-quarter
2022
results
also
missed
expectations
and
Spectrum
Brands
management
lowered
guidance
because
of
the
near-term
macroeconomic
backdrop.
Given
the
lack
of
near-term
catalysts
and
deteriorating
fundamentals,
the
Fund
sold
its
position
in
Spectrum
Brands
in
September
2022.

The

Fund’s
Class
A
Shares
at
NAV
underperformed
the
Russell
2000®
Growth
Index
for
the
twelve-month
reporting
period
ended
October
31,
2022.
For
purposes
of
this
Performance
Commentary,
references
to
relative
performance
are
in
comparison
to
the
Russell
2000®
Growth
Index.
The
Fund’s
underperformance
versus
the
benchmark
was
driven
by
unfavorable
security
selection,
primarily
in
the
consumer
discretionary,
communication
services
and
information
technology
sectors.
In
the
communication
services
sector,
performance
was
hindered
by
digital
advertising
holding
Magnite,
Inc.
Shares
were
weighed
down
by
broader
industry
news,
including
declining
digital
ad
spending,
particularly
in
Europe.
Additionally,
a
partnership
between
Netflix
and
Microsoft
weighed
on
pure-play
firms
like
Magnite
while
weak
earnings
from
Snap
were
viewed
as
a
warning
for
the
broader
digital
ad
industry.
The
Fund
continues
to
hold
shares
of
Magnite
given
the
company’s
strong
competitive
position
in
the
digital
ad
space
and
the
stock’s
compelling
valuation.
In
the
consumer
discretionary
sector,
shares
of
Crocs
Inc.
detracted
from
relative
performance.
The
company
acquired
privately
owned,
casual
footwear
brand
HEYDUDE
in
a
$2.5
billion
acquisition
that
included
the
issuance
of
$450
million
in
stock. The
overhang
of
the
newly
issued
shares,
combined
with
deceleration
in
North
American
growth
and
threat
of
margin
pressure
from
rising
inflation,
led
the
Fund
to
close
out
the
position
in
Crocs.
Although
the
health
care
sector
contributed
to
performance
overall,
the
Fund’s
most
significant
detractor
was
BioLife
Solutions
Inc.,
a
biotechnology
tools
and
solutions
provider.
The
company’s
acquisition
of
Stirling
Ultracold’s
deep
freezer
business
pressured
the
stock
given
supply
chain
issues
and
rising
raw
material
costs. The
Fund
sold
its
position
in
BioLife
Solutions
as
rising
interest
rates
continued
to
pressure
higher
growth
companies
across
the
sector.
The
Fund’s
underperformance
was
partially
offset
by
favorable
sector
allocations,
led
by
an
underweight
in
the
health
care
sector,
and
strong
security
selection
in
the
financials
and
health
care
sectors.
The
Fund’s
top
performer
was
Matador
Resources
Company,
a
high-quality
oil
producer
in
the
Permian
Basin
of
Texas.
Rising
oil
prices,
a
challenging
supply
and
demand
dynamic
and
geopolitical
tensions
drove
widespread
investor
demand
for
energy
stocks.
Matador’s
shares
also
benefited
from
the
company’s
capital
expenditure
discipline
and
prospects
for
free
cash
flow
generation.
The

continues
to
hold
Matador

Shares
of

advanced
more
than
the

sector
based
on
several
positive
operating
updates
during

and
the
simplification
of

As
a
result,
the

to
hold
Northern

Shares
of
defensively

companies
also
fared
comparatively
better
during
the
reporting
period.
In
the
distilled

category,
shares
of
MGP

performed
well
as

remained
robust.
The

continues
to
maintain
its
holding
in
MGP

In
the

shares
of

advanced
as

continued
to
successfully
implement
its
cost

plan
and
execute
better
than
the

during

with
a
stable

benefited
from

Strong

selection
and
favorable

allocations
drove
the

outperformance
versus

benchmark
during

period.
Stock
selection
was
particularly
strong
among
the
Fund’s
health
care,
financials

sector
holdings.
The
Fund
also
benefited
from
underweight
positions
in
the
two
weakest-performing
sectors
in
the
index,
the
communication

Portfolio
Managers’

(continued)
and
health

sectors.
Individual
energy
holdings
were
among
the

strongest
performers,
as
the
sector
continued
to
rally
based
on
higher
crude
oil
and
natural
gas
prices
during
the
reporting
period.
Brigham
Minerals
Inc.,
a
leading
U.S.
owner
of
oil
and
gas
mineral
rights,
performed
well.
A
strong
production
profile
led
to
an
increasing
royalty
stream,
enabling
the
company
to
raise
its
dividend
payouts
to
shareholders
while
investing

which
is

in

In
the

experienced
weak

The
company
continued
to
experience
challenges
as
it
transitions
to
a

Given
the

that

delays
have
on

section
of
the
report.
Fund
Performance
Performance
data
shown
represents
past
performance
and
does
not
predict
or
guarantee
future
results.
Investment
returns
and
principal
value
will
fluctuate
so
that
when
shares
are
redeemed,
they
may
be
worth
more
or
less
than
their
original
cost.
Current
performance
may
be
higher
or
lower
than
the
performance
shown.
Total
returns
for
a
period
of
less
than
one
year
are
not
annualized
(i.e.
cumulative
returns).
Since
inception
returns
are
shown
for
share
classes
that
have
less
than
10-years
of
performance.
Returns
at
net
asset
value
(NAV)
would
be
lower
if
the
sales
charge
were
included.
Returns
assume
reinvestment
of
dividends
and
capital
gains.
For
performance,
current
to
the
most
recent
month-end
visit
Nuveen.com
or
call
(800)
257-8787.
Returns
do
not
reflect
the
deduction
of
taxes
that
a
shareholder
would
pay
on
Fund
distributions
or
the
redemption
of
Fund
shares.
Returns
may
reflect
fee
waivers
and/or
expense
reimbursements
by
the
investment
adviser
during
the
periods
presented.
If
any
such
waivers
and/or
reimbursements
had
not
been
in
place,
returns
would
have
been
reduced.
See
Notes
to
Financial
Statements,
Note
7—Management
Fees
and
Other
Transactions
with
Affiliates
for
more
information.
Returns
reflect
differences
in
sales
charges
and
expenses,
which
are
primarily
differences
in
distribution
and
service
fees,
and
assume
reinvestment
of
dividends
and
capital
gains.

at

ratios
shown
are

The

ratios
shown
reflect

if
any).

The

has
contractually
agreed
to
waive
fees
and/or
reimburse
expenses
through
July

so
that
the

(excluding

expenses,
taxes,
acquired

fees

expenses)
do
not
exceed
0.99%
of
the
average

of
any
class
of

However,
because
Class

are
not
subject
to
sub-transfer
agent
and
similar
fees,
the
total
annual
operating

for

less
than

limitation.
This

limitation
may

approval

See
the
Portfolio

for
the
remaining
industries/sectors
comprising “Other”
and
not
listed
in
the
table
above.
As
a
shareholder
of
one
or
more
of
the
Funds,
you
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs, including
up-front
and
back-end
sales
charges
(loads)
or
redemption
fees,
where
applicable;
and
(2)
ongoing
costs,
including
management
fees;
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
where
applicable;
and
other
Fund
expenses.
The
Examples
below
are
intended
to
help
you
understand
your
ongoing
costs
(in
dollars)
of
investing
in
the
Funds
and
to
compare
these
costs
with
the
ongoing
costs
of investing
in
other
mutual
funds.
The
Examples
below
are
based
on
an
investment
of
$1,000
invested
at
the
beginning
of
the
period
and
held
through
the
period
ended
October
31,
2022.
The
beginning
of
the
period
is
May
1,
2022.
The
information
under
“Actual
Performance,”
together
with
the
amount
you
invested,
allows
you
to
estimate
actual
expenses
incurred
over
the
reporting
period.
Simply
divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(for
example,
an
$8,600
account
value
divided
by
$1,000
=
8.60)
and
multiply
the
result
by
the
cost
shown
for
your
share
class,
in
the
row
entitled
“Expenses
Incurred
During
Period”
to
estimate
the
expenses
incurred
on
your
account
during
this
period.
The
information
under
“Hypothetical
Performance,”
provides
information
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
each
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratios
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
The
hypothetical
account
values
and
expenses
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expense
you
incurred
for
the
period.
You
may
use
this
information
to
compare
the
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
the
other
funds.
Please
note
that
the
expenses
shown
in
the
following
tables
are
meant
to
highlight
your
ongoing
costs
only
and
do
not
reflect
any
transaction
costs.
Therefore,
the
hypothetical
information
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
determine
the
relative
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds
or
share
classes.
In
addition,
if
these
transaction
costs
were
included,
your
costs
would
have
been
higher.

as
of
October
31,
2022,
the
related
statements
of
operations
for
the
year
ended
October
31,
2022,
the
statements
of
changes
in

related
notes,
and
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
periods
indicated
therein
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
“financial
statements”).
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
each
of
the
Funds
as
of
October
31,
2022,
the
results
of
each
of
their
operations
for
the
year

ended,
the
changes
in
each
of
their
net
assets
for
each
of
the
two

in
the
period
ended
October
31,
2022
and
each
of
the
financial

in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in

United

Basis
for
Opinions
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Funds’
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Funds’
financial
statements
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
of
these
financial
statements
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
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,
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.
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.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
October
31,
2022
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian
and
brokers.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinions.

Other
Matters
The
outbreak
of
the
novel
coronavirus
(“COVID-19”)
and
subsequent
global
pandemic
began
significantly
impacting
the
U.S.
and
global
financial
markets
and
economies
during
the
calendar
quarter
ended
March
31,
2020.
The
worldwide
spread
of
COVID-19
has
created
significant
uncertainty
in
the
global
economy.
The
duration
and
extent
of
COVID-19
over
the
long-term
cannot
be
reasonably
estimated
at
this
time.
The
ultimate
impact
of
COVID-19
and
the
extent
to
which
COVID-19
impacts
the
Funds’
normal
course
of
business,
results
of
operations,
investments,
and
cash
flows
will
depend
on
future
developments,
which
are
highly
uncertain
and
difficult
to
predict.
Management
continues
to
monitor
and
evaluate
this
situation.

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
NAV
for
financial
reporting
purposes
may
differ
from
the
NAV
for
processing
security
and
shareholder
transactions.
The
NAV
for
financial
reporting
purposes
includes
security
and
shareholder
transactions
through
the
date
of
the
report.
Total
return
is
computed
based
on
the
NAV
used
for
processing
security
and
shareholder
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 directors
or
to
its
officers,
all
of
whom
receive
remuneration
for
their
services
to
the
Trust
from
the
Adviser
or
its
affiliates.
The
Funds’
Board
of Directors
(the
"Board")
has
adopted
a
deferred
compensation
plan
for
independent directors that
enables directors
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
Funds
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
Funds
and
the
amounts
actually
received
are
recognized
as
a
component
of
“Net
realized
gain
(loss)
from
investments
and
foreign
currency”
on
the
Statement
of
Operations,
when
applicable.
The
unrealized
gains
and
losses
resulting
from
changes
in
foreign
currency
exchange
rates
and
changes
in
foreign
exchange
rates
associated
with
(i)
investments
and
(ii)
other
assets
and
liabilities
are
recognized
as
a
component
of
“Change
in
net
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
of
investments
and
foreign
currency”
on
the
Statement
of
Operations,
when
applicable.
The
unrealized
gains
and
losses
resulting
from
changes
in
foreign
exchange
rates
associated
with
investments
in
derivatives
are
recognized
as
a
component
of
the
respective
derivative’s
related
“Change
in
net
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)”
on
the
Statement
of
Operations,
when
applicable.
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 directors
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
or,
for
foreign
securities,
when
information
is
available.
Non-cash
dividends
received
in
the
form
of
stock,
if
any,
are
recognized
on
the
ex-dividend
date
and
recorded
at
fair
value.
Interest
income
is
recorded
on
an
accrual
basis.
Securities
lending
income
is
comprised
of
fees
earned
from
borrowers
and
income
earned
on
cash
collateral
investments.
Multiclass
Operations
and
Allocations
Income
and
expenses
of
the
Funds
that
are
not
directly
attributable
to
a
specific
class
of
shares
are
prorated
among
the
classes
based
on
the
relative
net
assets
of
each
class.
Expenses
directly
attributable
to
a
class
of
shares
are
recorded
to
the
specific
class.
12b-1
distribution
and
service
fees
are
allocated
on
a
class-specific
basis.
Sub-transfer
agent
fees
and
similar
fees,
which
are
recognized
as
a
component
of
“Shareholder
servicing
agent
fees”
on
the
Statement
of
Operations,
are
not
charged
to
Class
R6
Shares
and
are
prorated
among
the
other
classes
based
on
their
relative
net
assets.
Realized
and
unrealized
capital
gains
and
losses
of
the
Funds
are
prorated
among
the
classes
based
on
the
relative
net
assets
of
each
class.
Netting
Agreements
In
the
ordinary
course
of
business,
the
Funds
may
enter
into
transactions
subject
to
enforceable
master
repurchase
agreements,
International
Swaps
and
Derivatives
Association,
Inc.
(ISDA)
master
agreements
or
other
similar
arrangements
(“netting
agreements”).
Generally,
the
right
to
offset
in
netting
agreements
allows
each
Fund
to
offset
certain
securities
and
derivatives
with
a
specific
counterparty,
when
applicable,
as
well
as
any
collateral
received
or
delivered
to
that
counterparty
based
on
the
terms
of
the
agreements.
Generally,
each
Fund
manages
its
cash
collateral
and
securities
collateral
on
a
counterparty
basis.
The
Funds’
investments
subject
to
netting
agreements
as
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
if
any,
are
further
described

(continued)
New
Accounting
Pronouncements
and
Rule
Issuances
Reference
Rate
Reform
In
March
2020,
FASB
issued
Accounting
Standards
Update
(“ASU”)
2020-04,
Reference
Rate
Reform:
Facilitation
of
the
Effects
of
Reference
Rate
Reform
on
Financial
Reporting.
The
main
objective
of
the
new
guidance
is
to
provide
relief
to
companies
that
will
be
impacted
by
the
expected
change
in
benchmark
interest
rates,
when
participating
banks
will
no
longer
be
required
to
submit
London
Interbank
Offered
Rate
(LIBOR)
quotes
by
the
UK
Financial
Conduct
Authority
(FCA).
The
new
guidance
allows
companies
to,
provided
the
only
change
to
existing
contracts
are
a
change
to
an
approved
benchmark
interest
rate,
account
for
modifications
as
a
continuance
of
the
existing
contract
without
additional
analysis.
For
new
and
existing
contracts,
the
Funds
may
elect
to
apply
the
amendments
as
of
March
12,
2020
through
December
31,
2022.
Management
has
not
yet
elected
to
apply
the
amendments,
is
continuously
evaluating
the
potential
effect
a
discontinuation
of
LIBOR
could
have
on
the
Funds’
investments
and
has
currently
determined
that
it
is
unlikely
the
ASU’s
adoption
will
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
Funds’
financial
statements
and
various
filings.
New
Rules
to
Modernize
Fund
Valuation
Framework
Take
Effect
A
new
rule
adopted
by
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(the
"SEC")
governing
fund
valuation
practices,
Rule
2a-5
under
the
1940
Act,
has
established
requirements
for
determining
fair
value
in
good
faith
for
purposes
of
the
1940
Act.
Rule
2a-5
permits
fund
boards
to
designate
certain
parties
to
perform
fair
value
determinations,
subject
to
board
oversight
and
certain
other
conditions.
Rule
2a-5
also
defines
when
market
quotations
are
"readily
available"
for
purposes
of
Section
2(a)(41)
of
the
1940
Act,
which
requires
a
fund
to
fair
value
a
security
when
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available.
Separately,
new
SEC
Rule
31a-4
under
the
1940
Act
sets
forth
the
recordkeeping
requirements
associated
with
fair
value
determinations.
The
Funds
adopted
a
valuation
policy
conforming
to
the
new
rules,
effective
September
1,
2022,
and
there
was
no
material
impact
to
the
Funds.

FASB
issued
ASU
2022-03
to
clarify
the
guidance
in
Topic
820,
Fair

The
amendments
in

affect
all
entities
that
have

securities
measured
at
fair
value
that
are
subject

clarifies
the
guidance
in
Topic
820,
when
measuring
the
fair
value
of
an
equity
security
subject
to
contractual
restrictions
that
prohibit
the
sale
of
equity
security,
(2)
amends
a
related
illustrative
example,
and
(3)
introduces
new
disclosure
requirements
for
equity
securities
subject
to
contractual
sale
restrictions
that
are
measured
at
fair
value
in
accordance
with
Topic
820.
For
public
business
entities,
the
amendments
in
ASU
2022-03
are
effective
for
fiscal
years
beginning
after
December
15,
2023,
and
interim
periods
within
those
fiscal
years.
For
all
other
entities,
the
amendments
are
effective
for
fiscal
years
beginning
after
December
15,
2024,
and
interim
periods
within
those
fiscal
years.
Early
adoption
is
permitted
for
both
interim
and
annual
financial
statements
that
have
not
yet
been
issued
or
made
available
for

Management
is
currently
assessing
the
impact
of
these
provisions
on
the
Funds'
financial
statements.
3.
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:
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.
dollars
at
the
prevailing
rates
of
exchange
on
the valuation
date.
For
events affecting
the value
of
foreign
securities
between
the
time
when
the
exchange
on
which
they
are
traded
closes
and
the
time
when
the
Funds'
net
assets
are
calculated,
such
securities
will
be
valued
at
fair
value
in
accordance
with
procedures
adopted
by
the
Adviser,
subject
to
the
oversight
of
the
Board. To
the
extent
these
securities
are
actively
traded
and
no
valuation
adjustments
are
applied,
they
are
generally
classified
as
Level
1. When
valuation
adjustments
are
applied
to
the
most
recent
last
sales
price
or
official
closing
price, these
securities
are
generally
classified
as
Level
2.
Prices
of
certain
American
Depositary
Receipts
(“ADR”)
held
by
the
Fund
that
trade
in
the
United
States
are
valued
based
on
the
last
traded
price,
official
closing
price,
or
an
evaluated
price
provided
by
the
independent
pricing
services
(“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.
Repurchase
agreements
are
valued
at
contract
amount
plus
accrued
interest,
which
approximates
market
value.
These
securities
are
generally
classified
as
Level
2.
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

Securities
and
Investments

Derivatives
Portfolio
Securities
Repurchase
Agreements
In
connection
with
transactions
in
repurchase
agreements,
it
is
each
Fund's
policy
that
its
custodian
take
possession
of
the
underlying
collateral
securities,
the
fair
value
of
which
exceeds
the
principal
amount
of
the
repurchase
transaction,
including
accrued
interest,
at
all
times.
If
the
counterparty
defaults,
and
the
fair
value
of
the
collateral
declines,
realization
of
the
collateral
may
be
delayed
or
limited.
The
following
table
presents
the
repurchase
agreements
for
the
Funds
that
are
subject
to
netting
agreements
as
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
and
the
collateral
delivered
related
to
those
repurchase
agreements.
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.
The
Funds’
custodian,
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.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
the
Fund
bears
the
market
risk
with
respect
to
the
investment
of
collateral
and
the
risk
that
the
Agent
may
default
on
its
contractual
obligations
to
the
Fund.
The
Agent
bears
the
risk
that
the
borrower
may
default
on
its
obligation
to
return
the
loaned
securities
as
the
Agent
is
contractually
obligated
to
indemnify
the
Fund
if
at
the
time
of
a
default
by
a
borrower
some
or
all
of
the
loan
securities
have
not
been
returned.

Securities
lending
income
recognized
by
a
Fund
consists
of
earnings
on
invested
collateral
and
lending
fees,
net
of
any
rebates
to
the
borrower
and
compensation
to
the
Agent.
Such
income
is
recognized
on
the
Statement
of
Operations.
As
of
the
end
of
the
current
reporting
period,
the
total
value
of
the
loaned
securities
and
the
total
value
of
collateral
received
were
as
follows:
Investment
Transactions
Long-term
purchases
and
sales
(excluding investments
purchased
with
collateral
from
securities
lending,
where
applicable)
during
the
current fiscal
period
were
as
follows:
The
Funds
may
purchase
securities
on
a
when-issued
or
delayed-delivery
basis.
Securities
purchased
on
a
when-issued
or
delayed-delivery
basis
may
have
extended
settlement
periods;
interest
income
is
not
accrued
until
settlement
date.
Any
securities
so
purchased
are
subject
to
market
fluctuation
during
this
period.
The
Funds
have
earmarked
securities
in
their
portfolios
with
a
current
value
at
least
equal
to
the
amount
of
the
when-issued/
delayed
delivery
purchase
commitments.
If
a
Fund
has
outstanding
when-issued/delayed-delivery
purchases
commitments
as
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
such
amounts
are
recognized
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Investments
in
Derivatives
Each
Fund
is
authorized
to
invest
in
certain
derivative
instruments.
The
Funds
record
derivative
instruments
at
fair
value,
with
changes
in
fair
value
recognized
on
the
Statement
of
Operations,
when
applicable.
Even
though
the
Funds’
investments
in
derivatives
may
represent
economic
hedges,
they
are
not
considered
to
be
hedge
transactions
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
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
predetermined
threshold
amount.

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
distribution
reallocations,
foreign
currency
transactions,
net
operating
losses,
nondeductible
reorganization
expenses,
return
of
capital
and
long-term
capital
gain
distributions
received
from
portfolio
investments,
tax
equalization,
taxable
overdistribution,
and
taxes
paid.
Temporary
and
permanent
differences
have
no
impact
on
a
Fund's
net
assets.

Management
Fees
Each
Fund’s
management
fee
compensates
the
Adviser
for
the
overall
investment
advisory
and
administrative
services
and
general
office
facilities.
The
Sub-Adviser
is
compensated
for
its
services
to
the
Funds
from
the
management
fees
paid
to
the
Adviser.
Each
Fund’s
management
fee
consists
of
two
components
–
a
fund-level
fee,
based
only
on
the
amount
of
assets
within
each
individual
Fund,
and
a
complex-level
fee,
based
on
the
aggregate
amount
of
all
eligible
fund
assets
managed
by
the
Adviser.
This
pricing
structure
enables
each
Fund’s
shareholders
to
benefit
from
growth
in
the
assets
within
their
respective
Fund
as
well
as
from
growth
in
the
amount
of
complex-wide
assets
managed
by
the
Adviser.
The
annual
fund-level
fee,
payable
monthly,
for
each
Fund
is
calculated
according
to
the

Notes

(continued)
The
annual
complex-level
fee,
payable
monthly,
for
each
Fund
is
determined
by
taking
the
complex-level
free
rate,
which
is
based
on
the
aggregate
amount
of
"eligible
assets"
of
all
Nuveen
funds
as
set
forth
in
the
schedule
below,
and
making,
as
appropriate,
an
upward
adjustment
to
that
rate
based
upon
the
percentage
of
the
particular
fund's
assets
that
are
not
"eligible
assets".
The
complex-level
fee
schedule
for
each
Fund
is
as
follows:
*
The
complex-level
fee
is
calculated
based
upon
the
aggregate
daily
“eligible
assets”
of
all
Nuveen
open-end
and
closed-end
funds.
Eligible
assets
do
not
include
assets
attributable
to
investments
in
other
Nuveen
funds
or
assets
in
excess
of
a
determined
amount
(originally
$2
billion)
added
to
the
Nuveen
fund
complex
in
connection
with
the
Adviser’s
assumption
of
the
management
of
the
former
First
American
Funds
effective
January
1,
2011,
but
do
include
certain
assets
of
certain
Nuveen
funds
that
were
reorganized
into
funds
advised
by
an
affiliate
of
the
Adviser
during
the
2019
calendar
year.
Eligible
assets
include
closed-end
fund
assets
managed
by
the
Adviser
that
are
attributable
to
certain
types
of
leverage.
For
these
purposes,
leverage
includes
the
closed-end
funds’
use
of
preferred
stock
and
borrowings
and
certain
investments
in
the
residual
interest
certificates
(also
called
inverse
floating
rate
securities)
in
tender
option
bond
(TOB)
trusts,
including
the
portion
of
assets
held
by
a
TOB
trust
that
has
been
effectively
financed
by
the
trust’s
issuance
of
floating
rate
securities,
subject
to
an
agreement
by
the
Adviser
as
to
certain
funds
to
limit
the
amount
of
such
assets
for
determining
eligible
assets
in
certain
circumstances.
As
of
October
31,
2022,
the
complex-level
fee
rate
for
each
Fund
was
as
follows:
The
Adviser
has
agreed
to
waive
fees
and/or
reimburse
expenses
(“Expense
Cap”)
of
the
Funds
so
that
the
total
annual
Fund
operating
expenses
(excluding
12b-1
distribution
and/or
service
fees,
interest
expenses,
taxes,
acquired
fund
fees
and
expenses,
fees
incurred
in
acquiring
and
disposing
of
portfolio
securities
and
extraordinary
expenses)
do
not
exceed
the
average
daily
net
assets
of
any
class
of
Fund
shares
in
the
amounts
and
for
the
time
period
stated
in
the
following
table.
However,
because
Class
R6
Shares
are
not
subject
to
sub-transfer
agent
and
similar
fees,
the
total
annual
fund
operating
expenses
for
the
Class
R6
Shares
will
not
be
less
than
the
expense
limitation.
The
expense
limitation
expiring
July
31,
2024,
may
be
terminated
or
modified
prior
to
that
date
only
with
the
approval
of
the
Board.

Distribution
and
Service
Fees
Each
Fund
has
adopted
a
distribution
and
service
plan
under
rule
12b-1
under
the
1940
Act.
Class
A
Shares
incur
a
0.25%
annual
12b-1
service
fee.
Class
C
Shares
incur
a
0.75%
annual
12b-1
distribution
fee
and
a
0.25%
annual
12b-1
service
fee.
Class
R6
Shares
and
Class
I
Shares
are
not
subject
to
12b-1
distribution
or
service
fees.
The
fees
under
this
plan
compensate
Nuveen
Securities,
LLC,
(the
“Distributor”),
a
wholly-owned
subsidiary
of
Nuveen,
for
services
provided
and
expenses
incurred
in
distributing
shares
of
the
Funds
and
establishing
and
maintaining
shareholder
accounts.
Other
Transactions
with
Affiliates
The
Fund
receives
voluntary
compensation
from
the
Adviser
in
amounts
that
approximate
the
cost
of
research
services
obtained
from
broker-dealers
and
research
providers
if
the
Adviser
had
purchased
the
research
services
directly.
This
income
received
by
the
Fund,
which
is
disclosed
below,
is
recognized
in
"Other
income"
on
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Each
Fund
is
permitted
to
purchase
or
sell
securities
from
or
to
certain
other
funds
or
accounts
managed
by
the
Sub-Adviser
(“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
fiscal
period,
the
Funds
engaged
in
cross-trades
pursuant
to
these
procedures
as
follows:
During
the
current
fiscal
period,
the
Distributor,
collected
sales
charges
on
purchases
of
Class
A
Shares,
the
majority
of
which
were
paid
out
as
concessions
to
financial
intermediaries
as
follows:
The
Distributor
also
received
12b-1
service
fees
on
Class
A
Shares,
substantially
all
of
which
were
paid
to
compensate
financial
intermediaries
for
providing
services
to
shareholders
relating
to
their
investments.

lenders,
under
which
the
Participating
Funds
may
borrow
for
temporary
purposes
(other
than
on-going
leveraging
for
investment
purposes).
Each
Participating
Fund
is
allocated
a
designated
proportion
of
the
facility’s
capacity
(and
its
associated
costs,
as
described
below)
based
upon
a
multi-factor
assessment
of
the
likelihood
and
frequency
of
its
need
to
draw
on
the
facility,
the
size
of
the
Fund
and
its
anticipated
draws,
and
the
potential
importance
of
such
draws
to
the
operations
and
well-being
of
the
Fund,
relative
to
those
of
the
other
Funds.
A
Fund
may
effect
draws
on
the
facility
in
excess
of
its
designated
capacity
if
and
to
the
extent
that
other
Participating
Funds
have
undrawn
capacity.
The
credit
facility
expires
in
June
2023
unless
extended
or
renewed.
The
credit
facility
has
the
following
terms:
0.15%
per
annum
on
unused
commitment
amounts
and
a
drawn
interest
rate
equal
to
the
higher
of
(a)
OBFR
(Overnight
Bank
Funding
Rate)
plus
1.20%
per
annum
or
(b)
the
Fed
Funds
Effective
Rate
plus
1.20%
per
annum
on
amounts
borrowed.
The
Participating
Funds
also
incurred
a
0.05%
upfront
fee
on
the
increased
commitments
from
select
lenders.
Interest
expense
incurred
by
the
Participating
Funds,
when
applicable,
is
recognized
as
a
component
of
“Interest
expense”
on
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Participating
Funds
paid
administration,
legal
and
arrangement
fees,
which
are
recognized
as
a
component
of
“Interest
expense”
on
the
Statement
of
Operations,
and
along
with
commitment
fees,
have
been
allocated
among
such
Participating
Funds
based
upon
the
relative
proportions
of
the
facility’s
aggregate
capacity
reserved
for
them
and
other
factors
deemed
relevant
by
the
Adviser
and
the
Board
of
each
Participating
Fund.
During
the
current
fiscal

Liquidity
Risk
Management
Program
(Unaudited)
Discussion
of
the
operation
and
effectiveness
of
the
Funds’
liquidity
risk
management
program
In
compliance
with
Rule
22e-4
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(the
“Liquidity
Rule”),
each
Fund
covered
in
this
Report
the
“Funds”)
has
adopted
and
implemented
a
liquidity
risk
management
program
(the
“Program”),
which
is
designed
to
manage
the
Fund’s
liquidity
risk.
The
Program
consists
of
various
protocols
for
assessing
and
managing
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk.
The
Funds’
Board
of
Trustees
previously
designated
Nuveen
Fund
Advisors,
LLC,
the
Funds’
investment
adviser,
as
the
Administrator
of
the
Program.
The
adviser’s
Liquidity
Monitoring
and
Analysis
Team
(“LMAT”)
carries
out
day-to-day
Program
management
with
oversight
by
the
adviser’s
Liquidity
Oversight
Sub-Committee
(the
LOSC”).
The
LOSC
is
composed
of
personnel
from
the
adviser
and
Teachers
Advisors,
LLC,
an
affiliate
of
the
adviser.
At
a
May
23-25,
2022
meeting
of
the
Board,
the
Administrator
provided
the
Board
with
a
written
report
addressing
the
Program’s
operation,
adequacy
and
effectiveness
of
implementation
for
calendar
year
2021
(the
“Review
Period”),
as
required
under
the
Liquidity
Rule.
The
report
noted
that
the
Program
has
been
and
continues
to
be
adequately
and
effectively
implemented
to
monitor
and
(as
applicable)
respond
to
each
Fund’s
liquidity
developments.
In
accordance
with
the
Program,
the
LMAT
assesses
each
Fund’s
liquidity
risk
no
less
frequently
than
annually
based
on
various
factors,
such
as
(1)
the
Fund’s
investment
strategy
and
the
liquidity
of
portfolio
investments,
(ii)
cash
flow
projections,
and
(ii)
holdings
of
cash
and
cash
equivalents,
borrowing
arrangements,
and
other
funding
sources.
Certain
factors
are
considered
under
both
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions.
Each
Fund
portfolio
investment
is
classified
into
one
of
four
liquidity
categories
(including
the
most
liquid,
“Highly
Liquid”,
and
the
least
liquid,
“lliquid”,
discussed
below),
The
classification
is
based
on
a
determination
of
how
long
it
is
reasonably
expected
to
take
to
convert
the
investment
into
cash,
or
sell
or
dispose
of
the
investment,
in
current
market
conditions
without
significantly
changing
the
market
value
of
the
investment
Liquidity
classification
determinations
take
into
account
various
market,
trading,
and
investment-specific
considerations,
as
well
as
market
depth,
and
use
third-
party
vendor
data.
Any
Fund
that
does
not
primarily
hold
highly
liquid
investments
must,
among
other
things,
determine
a
minimum
percentage
of
Fund
assets
that
must
be
invested
in
highly
liquid
investments
(a
“Highly
Liquid
Investment
Minimum”).
During
the
Review
Period,
each
Fund
primarily
held
Highly
Liquid
investments
and
therefore
was
exempt
from
the
requirement
to
adopt
a
Highly
Liquid
Investment
Minimum
and
to
comply
with
the
related
requirements
under
the
Liquidity
Rule.
The
Liquidity
Rule
also
limits
a
Fund’s
investments
in
Illiquid
investments.
Specifically,
the
Liquidity
Rule
prohibits
a
Fund
from
acquiring
Illiquid
investments
if
doing
so
would
result
in
the
Fund
holding
more
than
15%
of
its
net
assets
in
illiquid
investments,
and
requires
certain
reporting
to
the
Fund
Board
and
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
any
time
a
Fund’s
holdings
of
Illiquid
investments
exceeds
15%
of
net
assets.
During
the
Review
Period,
no
Fund
exceeded
the
15%
limit
on

of
the
Funds,
which
is
comprised
entirely
of
Board
Members
who
are
not
“interested

(as
defined
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(the
“1940
Act”))
(the
“Independent
Board

approved,
for

Fund,
the

pursuant
to
which
the
Sub-Adviser

the
sub-adviser
to
such
Fund
for
an
additional
one-year

As
the
Board
is
comprised
of
all
Independent
Board
Members,
the
references
to
the
Board
and
the
Independent
Board
Members
are
interchangeable.
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.
The
Investment
Management
Agreements
and
Sub-Advisory
Agreements
are
collectively
referred
to
as
the
“Advisory
Agreements,”
and
the
Adviser
and
the
Sub-Adviser
are
collectively,
the
“Fund
Advisers”
and
each,
a
“Fund

The
Board
has
established
various
standing
committees
composed
of
various
Independent
Board
Members
that
are
assigned
specific
responsibilities
to
enhance
the
effectiveness
of
the
Board’s
oversight
and
decision
making.
Throughout
the
year,
the
Board
and
its
committees
meet
regularly
and,
at
these
meetings,
receive
regular
and/or
special
reports
that
cover
an
extensive
array
of
topics
and
information
that
are
relevant

the
Board’s
annual

fees
and

and
overall

The
Board
also
seeks
to

the
Nuveen
funds’
sub-advisers
and/or
portfolio
teams,
when
feasible.
The
Board
further
meets,
among
other
things,
to
specifically
consider
the
annual
renewal
of
the
advisory
agreements
for
the
Nuveen
funds.
In
connection
with
its
annual
consideration
of
the
advisory
agreements
for
the
Nuveen
funds,
the
Board,
through
its
independent
legal
counsel,
requested
and
received
extensive

of

advisory

by
the
Adviser

indirect
benefits
received

the
Adviser
and

as
a

funds.
The
information
prepared
specifically
for
the
annual
review
supplemented
the
information
provided
to
the
Board
and
its
committees
and
the
evaluations
of
the
Nuveen
funds
by
the
Board
and
its
committees
during
the
year.
The
Board’s
review
of
the
advisory
agreements
for
the
Nuveen
funds
is
based
on
all
the
information
provided
to
the
Board
and
its
committees
throughout
the
year
as
well
as
the
information
prepared
specifically
with
respect
to
the
annual
review
of
such
advisory
agreements.
In
continuing
its
practice,
the
Board
met
prior
to
the
May
Meeting
to
begin
its
considerations
of
the
renewal
of
the
Advisory
Agreements.
Accordingly,
on
April
13-14,
2022
(the
“April
Meeting”),
the
Board
met
to
review
and
discuss,
in
part,
the
performance
of
the
Nuveen
funds
and
the
Adviser’s
evaluation
of
each
sub-adviser
to
the
Nuveen
funds
and/or
its
investment
teams.
At
the
April
Meeting,
the
Board
Members
asked
questions
and
requested
additional
information
that
was
provided
for
the
May
Meeting.
The
Independent
Board
Members
considered
the
review
of
the
advisory
agreements
for
the
Nuveen
funds
to
be
an
ongoing
process
and
employed
the
accumulated
information,
knowledge
and
experience
the
Board
Members
had
gained
during
their
tenure
on
the
boards
governing
the
Nuveen
funds
and
working
with
the
Adviser
and
sub-advisers
in
their
review
of
the
advisory
agreements.
The
contractual
arrangements
are
a
result
of
multiple
years
of
review,
negotiation
and
information
provided
in
connection
with
the
boards’
annual
review
of
the
Nuveen
funds’
advisory
arrangements
and
oversight
of
the
Nuveen
funds.
The
Independent
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
from
the
Adviser
or
the
Sub-Adviser
were
present.
In
connection
with
their
annual
review,
the
Independent
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
decision
to
renew
the
Advisory
Agreements
was
not
based
on
a
single
identified
factor,
but
rather
the
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
renewal
process.
Each
Board
Member
may
have
attributed
different
levels
of
importance
to
the
various
factors
and
information
considered
in
connection
with
the
approval
process
and
may
place
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.
Annual
Investment
Management
Agreement
Approval
Process
(Unaudited)
(continued)
A.
Nature,
Extent
and
Quality
of
Services
In
evaluating
the
renewal
of
the
Advisory
Agreements,
the
Independent
Board
Members
received
and
considered
information
regarding
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
applicable
Fund
Adviser’s
services
provided
to
the
respective
Fund
with
particular
focus
on
the
services
and
enhancements
to
such
services
provided
during
the
last
year.
The
Independent
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
respective
roles
of
the
Adviser
and
the
Sub-Adviser
in
providing
services
to
the
Funds.
The
Board
recognized
that
the
Nuveen
funds
operate
in
a
highly
regulated
industry
and,
therefore,
the
Adviser
has
provided
a
wide
array
of
management,
oversight
and
administrative
services
to
manage
and
operate
the
funds,
and
the
scope
and
complexity
of
these
services
have
expanded
over
time
as
a
result
of,
among
other
things,
regulatory,
market
and
other
developments.
The
Board
accordingly
considered
the
Adviser’s
dedication
of
extensive
resources,
time,
people
and
capital
employed
to
support
and
manage
the
Nuveen
funds
as
well
as
the
Adviser’s
continued
program
of
developing
improvements
and
innovations
for
the
benefit
of
the
funds
and
shareholders
and
to
meet
the
ever
increasing
regulatory
requirements
applicable
to
the
funds.
In
this
regard,
the
Board
received
and
reviewed
information
regarding,
among
other
things,
the
Adviser’s
investment
oversight
responsibilities,
regulatory
and
compliance
services,
administrative
duties
and
other
services.
The
Board
considered
the
Adviser’s
investment
oversight
team’s
extensive
services
in
overseeing
the
various
sub-advisers
to
the
Nuveen
funds;
evaluating
fund
performance;
and
preparing
reports
to
the
Board
addressing,
among
other
things,
fund
performance,
market
conditions,
investment
team
matters,
product
developments
and
management
proposals.
The
Board
further
recognized
the
range
of
services
the
various
teams
of
the
Adviser
provided
including,
but
not
limited
to,
overseeing
operational
and
risk
management;
managing
liquidity;
overseeing
the
daily
valuation
process;
and
managing
distributions
in
seeking
to
deliver
long-term
fund
earnings
to
shareholders
consistent
with
the
respective
Nuveen
fund’s
product
design
and
positioning.
The
Board
also
considered
the
structure
of
investment
personnel
compensation
of
each
Fund
Adviser
and
whether
the
structure
provides
appropriate
incentives
to
attract
and
maintain
qualified
personnel
and
to
act
in
the
best
interests
of
the
respective
Nuveen
fund.
The
Board
further
recognized
that
the
Adviser’s
compliance
and
regulatory
functions
were
integral
to
the
investment
management
of
the
Nuveen
funds.
The
Board
recognized
such
services
included,
but
were
not
limited
to,
managing
compliance
policies;
monitoring
compliance
with
applicable
policies,
law
and
regulations;
devising
internal
compliance
programs
and
a
framework
to
review
and
assess
compliance
programs;
overseeing
sub-adviser
compliance
testing;
preparing
compliance
training
materials;
and
responding
to
regulatory
requests.
The
Board
further
considered
information
regarding
the
Adviser’s
business
continuity
and
disaster
recovery
plans
as
well
as
information
regarding
its
information
security
program,
including
presentations
of
such
program
provided
at
a
site
visit
in
2022,
to
help
identify
and
manage
information
security
risks.
In
addition
to
the
above
functions,
the
Board
considered
that
the
Adviser
also
provides,
among
other
things,
fund
administration
services
(such
as
preparing
fund
tax
returns
and
other
tax
compliance
services;
preparing
regulatory
filings;
interacting
with
the
Nuveen
funds’
independent
public
accountants
and
overseeing
other
service
providers;
and
managing
fund
budgets
and
expenses);
product
management
services
(such
as
evaluating
and
enhancing
products
and
strategies);
legal
services
(such
as
helping
to
prepare
and
file
registration
statements
and
proxy
statements;
overseeing
fund
activities
and
providing
legal
interpretations
regarding
such
activities;
maintaining
regulatory
registrations
and
negotiating
agreements
with
other
fund
service
providers;
and
monitoring
changes
in
regulatory
requirements
and
commenting
on
rule
proposals
impacting
investment
companies);
and
oversight
of
shareholder
services
and
transfer
agency
functions
(such
as
overseeing
transfer
agent
service
providers
which
include
registered
shareholder
customer
service
and
transaction
processing;
overseeing
proxy
solicitation
and
tabulation
services;
and
overseeing
the
production
and
distribution
of
financial
reports
by
service
providers).
The
Board
also
considered
the
quality
of
support
services
and
communications
the
Adviser
provided
the
Board,
including,
in
part,
organizing
and
administrating
Board
meetings
and
supporting
Board
committees;
preparing
regular
and
ad
hoc
reports
on
fund
performance,
market
conditions
and
investment
team
matters;
providing
due
diligence
reports
addressing
product
development
and
management
proposals;
and
coordinating
site
visits
of
the
Board
and
presentations
by
investment
teams
and
senior
management.
In
addition
to
the
services
provided,
the
Board
considered
the
financial
resources
of
the
Adviser
and
its
affiliates
and
their
willingness
to
make
investments
in
the
technology,
personnel
and
infrastructure
to
support
the
Nuveen
funds,
including
maintaining
a
seed
capital
budget
to
support
new
or
existing
funds
and/or
facilitate
changes
for
a
respective
fund.
Further,
the
Board
noted
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
Nuveen
funds
including
during
stressed
times.
The
Board
recognized
the
overall
reputation
and
capabilities
of
the
Adviser
and
its
affiliates,
the
Adviser’s
continuing
commitment
to
provide
high
quality
services,
its
willingness
to
implement
operational
or
organizational
changes
in
seeking,
among
other
things,
to
enhance
efficiencies
and
services
to
the
Nuveen
funds
and
its
responsiveness
to
the
Board’s
questions
and/or
concerns
raised
throughout
the
year
and
during
the
annual
review
of
advisory
agreements.
The
Board
also
considered
the
significant
risks
borne
by
the
Adviser
and
its
affiliates
in
connection
with
their
services
to
the
Nuveen
funds,
including
entrepreneurial
risks
in
sponsoring
new
funds
and
ongoing
risks
with
managing
the
funds
such
as
investment,
operational,
reputational,
regulatory,
compliance
and
litigation
risks.
In
evaluating
services,
the
Board
reviewed
various
highlights
of
the
initiatives
the
Adviser
and
its
affiliates
have
undertaken
or
continued
in
2021
and

respective
fund’s
product
design
and
positioning
in
striving
to
deliver
those
earnings
to
shareholders
in
a
relatively
consistent
manner
over
time
as
well
as
assisting
in
the
development
of
new
products
or
the
restructuring
of
existing
funds.
The
Board
further
considered
the
division
of
responsibilities
between
the
Adviser
and
the
Sub-Adviser
and
recognized
that
the
Sub-Adviser
and
its
investment
personnel
generally
are
responsible
for
the
management
of
each
Fund’s
portfolio
under
the
oversight
of
the
Adviser
and
the
Board.
The
Board
considered
an
analysis
of
the
Sub-Adviser
provided
by
the
Adviser
which
included,
among
other
things,
the
assets
under
management
of
the
applicable
investment
team
and
changes
thereto,
a
summary
of
the
applicable
investment
team
and
changes
thereto,
the
investment
process
and
philosophy
of
the
applicable
investment
team,
the
performance
of
the
Nuveen
funds
sub-advised
by
the
Sub-Adviser
over
various
periods
of
time
and
a
summary
of
any
significant
policy
and/or
other
changes
to
the
Nuveen
funds
sub-advised
by
the
Sub-Adviser.
The
Board
further
considered
at
the
May
Meeting
or
prior
meetings
evaluations
of
the
Sub-Adviser’s
compliance
programs
and
trade
execution.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Adviser
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
received
and
considered
a
variety
of
investment
performance
data
of
the
Nuveen
funds
they
advise.
In
evaluating
performance,
the
Board
recognized
that
performance
data
may
differ
significantly
depending
on
the
ending
date
selected,
particularly
during
periods
of
market
volatility,
and
therefore
considered
the
broader
perspective
of
performance
over
a
variety
of
time
periods
that
may
include
full
market
cycles.
In
this
regard,
the
Board
reviewed,
among
other
things,
Fund
performance
over
the
quarter,
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
ending
December 31,
2021
and
March
31,
2022.
The
performance
data
was
based
on
Class
A
shares;
however,
the
performance
of
other
classes
should
be
substantially
similar
as
they
invest
in
the
same
portfolio
of
securities
and
differences
in
performance
among
the
classes
would
be
principally
attributed
to
the
variations
in
the
expense
structures
of
the
classes.
The
performance
data
prepared
for
the
annual
review
of
the
advisory
agreements
for
the
Nuveen
funds
supplemented
the
fund
performance
data
that
the
Board
Annual
Investment
Management
Agreement
Approval
Process
(Unaudited)
(continued)
received
throughout
the
year
at
its
meetings
representing
differing
time
periods.
In
its
review,
the
Board
took
into
account
the
discussions
with
representatives
of
the
Adviser;
the
Adviser’s
analysis
regarding
fund
performance
that
occurred
at
these
Board
meetings
with
particular
focus
on
funds
that
were
considered
performance
outliers
(both
overperformance
and
underperformance);
the
factors
contributing
to
the
performance;
and
any
recommendations
or
steps
taken
to
address
performance
concerns.
Regardless
of
the
time
period
reviewed
by
the
Board,
the
Board
recognized
that
shareholders
may
evaluate
performance
based
on
their
own
holding
periods
which
may
differ
from
the
periods
reviewed
by
the
Board
and
lead
to
differing
results.
In
its
review,
the
Board
reviewed
both
absolute
and
relative
fund
performance
during
the
annual
review
over
the
various
time
periods.
With
respect
to
the
latter,
the
Board
considered
fund
performance
in
comparison
to
the
performance
of
peer
funds
(the
“Performance
Peer
Group”)
and
recognized
and/or
customized
benchmarks
(i.e.,
generally
benchmarks
derived
from
multiple
recognized
benchmarks).
For
Nuveen
funds
that
had
changes
in
portfolio
managers
or
other
significant
changes
to
their
investment
strategies
or
policies
since
March
2019,
the
Board
reviewed
certain
tracking
performance
data
comparing
the
performance
of
such
funds
before
and
after
such
changes.
In
considering
performance
data,
the
Board
is
aware
of
certain
inherent
limitations
with
such
data,
including
that
differences
between
the
objective(s),
strategies
and
other
characteristics
of
the
Nuveen
funds
compared
to
the
respective
Performance
Peer
Group
and/or
benchmark(s);
differences
in
the
composition
of
the
Performance
Peer
Group
over
time;
and
differences
in
the
types
and/or
levels
of
any
leverage
and
related
costs
with
that
of
the
Performance
Peer
Group
would
all
necessarily
contribute
to
differences
in
performance
results
and
limit
the
value
of
the
comparative
information.
Further,
the
Board
recognized
the
inherent
limitations
in
comparing
the
performance
of
an
actively
managed
fund
to
a
benchmark
index
due
to
the
fund’s
pursuit
of
an
investment
strategy
that
does
not
directly
follow
the
index.
To
assist
the
Board
in
its
review
of
the
comparability
of
the
relative
performance,
the
Adviser
has
ranked
the
relevancy
of
the
peer
group
to
the
Funds
as
low,
medium
or
high.
The
Board
also
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.
In
relation
to
general
market
conditions,
the
Board
had
recognized
the
recent
periods
in
2022
of
general
market
volatility
and
underperformance.
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.
Further,
the
Board
recognized
that
the
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.
Accordingly,
depending
on
the
facts
and
circumstances
including
any
differences
between
the
respective
Nuveen
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
or
peer
group
for
certain
periods.
However,
with
respect
to
any
Nuveen
funds
for
which
the
Board
has
identified
performance
issues,
the
Board
monitors
such
funds
closely
until
performance
improves,
discusses
with
the
Adviser
the
reasons
for
such
results,
considers
whether
any
steps
are
necessary
or
appropriate
to
address
such
issues,
and
reviews
the
results
of
any
steps
undertaken.
The
Board’s
determinations
with
respect
to
each
Fund
are
summarized
below.
For

with
the
overall
performance
of
the
Fund.
For
Nuveen
Large
Cap

(the
“Large
Cap
Select
Fund”),
the
Board
noted
that

Fund’s
performance
was

was
satisfied
with
the
steps
taken
to
help
address

C.
Fees,
Expenses
and
Profitability
1.
Fees
and
Expenses
As
part
of
its
annual
review,
the
Board
considered
the
contractual
management
fee
and
net
management
fee
(the
management
fee
after
taking
into
consideration
fee
waivers
and/or
expense
reimbursements,
if
any)
paid
by
a
Nuveen
fund
to
the
Adviser
in
light
of
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
services
provided.
The
Board
also
considered
the
total
operating
expense
ratio
of
a
fund
before
and
after
any
fee
waivers
and/or
expense
reimbursements.
More
specifically,
the
Independent
Board
Members
reviewed,
among
other
things,
each
fund’s
gross
and
net
management
fee
rates
(i.e.,
before
and
after
expense
reimbursements
and/or
fee
waivers,
if
any)
and
net
total
expense
ratio
in
relation
to
those
of
a
comparable
universe
of
funds
(the
“Peer
Universe”)
and/or
to
a
more
focused
subset
of
comparable
funds
(the
“Peer
Group”)
established
by
Broadridge
(subject
to
certain
exceptions).
The
Independent
Board
Members
reviewed
the
methodology
Broadridge
employed
to
establish
its
Peer
Universe
and
Peer
Group
and
recognized
that
differences
between
the
applicable
fund
and
its
respective
Peer
Universe
and/or
Peer
Group
as
well
as
changes
to
the
composition
of
the
Peer
Group
and/or
Peer
Universe
from
year
to
year
may
limit
some
of
the
value
of
the
comparative
data.
The
Independent
Board
Members
take
these
limitations
and
differences
into
account
when
reviewing
comparative
peer
data.
The
Independent
Board
Members
also
considered
a
fund’s
operating
expense
ratio
as
it
more
directly
reflected
the
shareholder’s
costs
in
investing
in
the
respective
fund.
In
their
review,
the
Independent
Board
Members
considered,
in
particular,
each
fund
with
a
net
expense
ratio
of
six
basis
points
or
higher
compared
to
that
of
its
peer
average
(each,
an
“Expense
Outlier
Fund”)
and
an
analysis
as
to
the
factors
contributing
to
each
such
fund’s
higher
relative
net
expense
ratio.
Accordingly,
in
reviewing
the
comparative
data
between
a
fund
and
its
peers,
the
Board
generally
considered
the
fund’s
net
expense
ratio
and
fees
to
be
higher
if
they
were
over
10
basis
points
higher,
slightly
higher
if
they
were
6
to
10
basis
points
higher,
in
line
if
they
were
within
approximately
5
basis
points
higher
than
the
peer
average
and
below
if
they
were
below
the
peer
average
of
the
Peer
Group.
The
Independent
Board
Members
also
considered,
in
relevant
part,
a
fund’s
net
management
fee
and
net
total
expense
ratio
in
light
of
its
performance
history.
In
their
review
of
the
fee
arrangements
for
the
Nuveen
funds,
the
Independent
Board
Members
considered
the
management
fee
schedules,
including
the
complex-wide
and
fund-level
breakpoint
schedules,
and
the
expense
reimbursements
and/or
fee
waivers
provided
by
Nuveen
for
each
fund,
as
applicable.
The
Board
noted
that
across
the
Nuveen
fund
complex,
the
complex-wide
fee
breakpoints
reduced
fees
by
approximately
$72.5
million
and
fund-level
breakpoints
reduced
fees
by
approximately
$89.1
million
in
2021.
Further,
fee
caps
and
waivers
for
all
applicable
Nuveen
funds
saved
approximately
an
additional
$13.6
million
in
fees
for
shareholders
in
2021.
With
respect
to
the
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
and
comparative
data
of
the
fees
the
Sub-Adviser
charges
to
other
clients,
if
any.
In
its
review,
the
Board
recognized
that
the
compensation
paid
to
the
Sub-Adviser
is
the
responsibility
of
the
Adviser,
not
the
Funds.
Annual
Investment
Management
Agreement
Approval
Process
(Unaudited)
(continued)
The
Independent
Board
Members
noted
that
(a)
the
Dividend
Value
Fund,
Large
Cap
Select
Fund,
Mid
Cap
Value
Fund,
Small
Cap
Growth
Opportunities
Fund,
Small
Cap
Select
Fund
and
Small
Cap
Value
Fund
each
had
a
net
management
fee
and
a
net
expense
ratio
that
were
below
the
respective
peer
averages;
and
(b)
the
Mid
Cap
Growth
Opportunities
Fund
had
a
net
management
fee
and
a
net
expense
ratio
that
were
in
line
with
the
respective
peer
average.
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
determining
the
appropriateness
of
fees,
the
Board
also
considered
information
regarding
the
fee
rates
the
respective
Fund
Advisers
charged
to
certain
other
types
of
clients
and
the
type
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
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
further
noted
that
the
Adviser
also
advised,
and
the
Sub-Adviser
sub-advised,
certain
exchange-traded
funds
(“ETFs”)
sponsored
by
Nuveen.
The
Board
recognized
that
the
Sub-Adviser
was
an
affiliated
sub-adviser
and,
with
respect
to
affiliated
sub-advisers,
the
Board
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
also
reviewed
the
fee
range
and
average
fee
rate
of
certain
selected
investment
strategies
offered
in
retail
and
institutional
managed
accounts
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.
In
considering
the
fee
data
of
other
clients,
the
Board
recognized,
among
other
things,
that
differences
in
the
amount,
type
and
level
of
services
provided
to
the
Nuveen
funds
relative
to
other
types
of
clients
as
well
as
any
differences
in
portfolio
investment
policies,
the
types
of
assets
managed
and
related
complexities
in
managing
such
assets,
the
entrepreneurial
and
other
risks
associated
with
a
particular
strategy,
investor
profiles,
account
sizes
and
regulatory
requirements
will
contribute
to
the
variations
in
the
fee
schedules.
The
Board
recognized
the
breadth
of
services
the
Adviser
had
provided
to
the
Nuveen
funds
compared
to
these
other
types
of
clients
as
the
funds
operate
in
a
highly
regulated
industry
with
increasing
regulatory
requirements
as
well
as
the
increased
entrepreneurial,
legal
and
regulatory
risks
that
the
Adviser
incurs
in
sponsoring
and
managing
the
funds.
Similarly,
with
respect
to
foreign
funds,
the
Board
recognized
that
the
differences
in
the
client
base,
governing
bodies,
distribution
jurisdiction
and
operational
complexities
would
also
contribute
to
variations
in
management
fees
of
the
Nuveen
funds
compared
to
those
of
the
foreign
funds.
Further,
with
respect
to
ETFs,
the
Board
considered
that
certain
Nuveen
ETFs
were
passively
managed
compared
to
the
active
management
of
other
Nuveen
funds
which
also
contributed
to
the
differences
in
fee
levels
between
such
Nuveen
ETFs
and
the
actively-managed
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
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
concluded
the
varying
levels
of
fees
were
justified
given,
among
other
things,
the
inherent
differences
in
the
products
and
the
level
of
services
provided
to
the
Nuveen
funds
versus
other
clients,
the
differing
regulatory
requirements
and
legal
liabilities
and
the
entrepreneurial,
legal
and
regulatory
risks
incurred
in
sponsoring
and
advising
a
registered
investment
company.
3.
Profitability
of
Fund
Advisers
In
their
review,
the
Independent
Board
Members
considered
information
regarding
Nuveen’s
level
of
profitability
for
its
advisory
services
to
the
Nuveen
funds
for
the
calendar
years
2021
and
2020.
The
Board
reviewed,
among
other
things,
the
net
margins
(pre-tax)
for
Nuveen
Investments,
Inc.
(“Nuveen
Investments”),
the
gross
and
net
revenue
margins
(pre-
and
post-tax
and
excluding
distribution)
and
the
revenues,
expenses
and
net
income
(pre-
and
post-tax
and
before
distribution
expenses)
of
Nuveen
Investments
from
the
Nuveen
funds
only;
and
comparative
profitability
data
comparing
the
operating
margins
of
Nuveen
Investments
compared
to
the
adjusted
operating
margins
of
certain
peers
that
had
publicly
available
data
and
with
the
most
comparable
assets
under
management
(based
on
asset
size
and
asset
composition)
for
each
of
the
last
two
calendar
years.
The
Board
also
reviewed
the
revenues,
expenses
and
operating
margin
(pre-
and
post-tax)
the
Adviser
derived
from
its
ETF
product
line
for
the
2021
and
2020
calendar
years.
In
reviewing
the
profitability
data,
the
Independent
Board
Members
recognized
the
subjective
nature
of
calculating
profitability
as
the
information
is
not
audited
and
is
dependent
on
cost
allocation
methodologies
to
allocate
corporate-wide
overhead/shared
service
expenses,
TIAA
(defined
below)
corporate-wide
overhead
expenses
and
partially
fund
related
expenses
to
the
Nuveen
complex
and
its
affiliates
and
to
further
allocate
such
expenses
between
the
Nuveen
fund
and
non-fund
businesses.
The
Independent
Board
Members
reviewed
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
to
2021,
and
the
net
revenue
margins
derived
from
the
Nuveen
funds
(pre-tax
and
including
and
excluding
distribution)
and
total
company
margins
from
Nuveen
Investments
compared
to
the
firm-wide
adjusted
operating
margins
of
the
peers
for
each
calendar
year
from
2012
to
2021.
The
Board
had
also
appointed
four
Independent
Board
Members
to
serve
as
the
Board’s
liaisons,
with
the
assistance
of
independent
counsel,
to
review
the
development
of
the
profitability
data
and
to
report
to
the
full
Board.
In
its
evaluation,
the
Board,
however,
recognized
that
other
reasonable
and
valid
allocation
methodologies
could
be
employed
and
could
lead
to
significantly
different
results.
The
Independent
Board
Members
also
reviewed
a
summary
of
the
key
drivers
that
affected
Nuveen’s
revenues
and
expenses
impacting
profitability
in
2021
versus
2020.
In
reviewing
the
comparative
peer
data
noted
above,
the
Board
considered
that
the
operating
margins
of
Nuveen
Investments
compared
favorably
to
the
peer
group
range
of
operating
margins;
however,
the
Independent
Board
Members
also
recognized
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
recognized
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
also
reviewed
a
balance
sheet
for
TIAA
reflecting
its
assets,
liabilities
and
capital
and
contingency
reserves
for
the
2021
and
2020
calendar
years
to
consider
the
financial
strength
of
TIAA.
The
Board
recognized
the
benefit
of
an
investment
adviser
and
its
parent
with
significant
resources,
particularly
during
periods
of
market
volatility.
The
Board
also
noted
the
reinvestments
Nuveen,
its
parent
and/or
other
affiliates
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
Independent
Board
Members
considered
the
profitability
of
the
Sub-Adviser
from
its
relationships
with
the
Nuveen
funds.
In
this
regard,
the
Independent
Board
Members
reviewed,
among
other
things,
the
Sub-Adviser’s
revenues,
expenses
and
net
revenue
margins
(pre-
and
post-tax)
for
its
advisory
activities
to
the
respective
funds
for
the
calendar
years
ended
December
31,
2021
and
December
31,
2020.
The
Independent
Board
Members
also
reviewed
a
profitability
analysis
reflecting
the
revenues,
expenses
and
revenue
margin
(pre-
and
post-tax)
by
asset
type
for
the
Sub-Adviser
for
the
calendar
years
ending
December
31,
2021
and
December
31,
2020
and
the
pre-
and
post-tax
revenue
margins
from
2021
and
2020.
In
evaluating
the
reasonableness
of
the
compensation,
the
Independent
Board
Members
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
a
consideration
of
all
the
information
provided,
the
Board
noted
that
Nuveen’s
and
the
Sub-Adviser’s
level
of
profitability
was
acceptable
and
not
unreasonable
in
light
of
the
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
Nuveen
funds
and
whether
these
economies
of
scale
have
been
appropriately
shared
with
the
funds.
The
Board
recognized
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
funds
for
the
fees
paid.
The
Board
noted
that
Nuveen
generally
has
employed
these
various
methods,
and
the
Board
considered
the
extent
to
which
the
Nuveen
funds
will
benefit
from
economies
scale
as
their
assets
grow.
In
this
regard,
the
Board
recognized
that
the
management
fee
of
the
Adviser
is
generally
comprised
of
a
fund-level
component
and
a
complex-level
component
each
with
its
own
breakpoint
schedule,
subject
to
certain
exceptions.
The
Board
reviewed
the
fund-level
and
complex-
level
fee
schedules.
The
Board
considered
that
the
fund-level
breakpoint
schedules
are
designed
to
share
economies
of
scale
with
shareholders
if
the
particular
fund
grows,
and
the
complex-level
breakpoint
schedule
is
designed
to
deliver
the
benefits
of
economies
of
scale
to
shareholders
when
the
eligible
assets
in
the
complex
pass
certain
thresholds
even
if
the
assets
of
a
particular
fund
are
unchanged
or
have
declined.
In
addition
to
the
fund-level
and
complex-level
fee
schedules,
the
Independent
Board
Members
considered
the
temporary
and/or
permanent
expense
caps
applicable
to
certain
Nuveen
funds
(including
the
amounts
of
fees
waived
or
amounts
reimbursed
to
the
respective
funds
in
2021
and
2020),
including
the
temporary
expense
caps
applicable
to
the
Funds.
The
Board
recognized
that
such
waivers
and
reimbursements
applicable
to
the
respective
Nuveen
funds
are
another
means
for
potential
economies
of
scale
to
be
shared
with
shareholders
of
such
funds
and
can
provide
a
protection
from
an
increase
in
expenses
if
the
assets
of
the
applicable
funds
decline.
As
noted
above,
the
Independent
Board
Members
also
recognized
the
continued
reinvestment
in
Nuveen’s
business.
Based
on
its
review,
the
Board
concluded
that
the
current
fee
arrangements
together
with
the
reinvestment
in
Nuveen’s
business
appropriately
shared
any
economies
of
scale
with
shareholders.
E.
Indirect
Benefits
The
Independent
Board
Members
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.
The
Independent
Board
Members
recognized
that
an
affiliate
of
the
Adviser
serves
as
principal
underwriter
providing
distribution
and/or
shareholder
services
to
the
open-end
funds.
The
Independent
Board
Members
further
noted
that,
subject
to
certain
exceptions,
certain
classes
of
the
Nuveen
open-end
funds
pay
12b-1
fees
and
while
a
majority
of
such
fees
were
paid
to
third
party
financial
intermediaries,
the
Board
reviewed
the
amount
retained
by
the
Adviser’s
affiliate.
In
addition,
the
Independent
Board
Members
also
noted
that
various
sub-advisers
(including
the
Sub-Adviser)
may
engage
in
soft
dollar
transactions
pursuant
to
which
they
may
receive
the
benefit
of
research
products
and
other
services
provided
by
broker-dealers
executing
portfolio
transactions
on
behalf
of
the
applicable
Nuveen
funds.
The
Board
noted,
however,
that
the
Sub-Adviser
reimburses
the
equity
funds
that
it
sub-advises
(subject
to
certain
exceptions)
for
the
research-related
component
of
soft
dollar
commissions.
In
addition,
the
Board
noted
that
any
benefits
for
a
sub-adviser
when
transacting
in
fixed-income
securities
may
be
more
limited
as
such
securities
generally
trade
on
a
principal
basis
and
therefore
do
not
generate
brokerage
commissions.
Based
on
its
review,
the
Board
concluded
that
any
indirect
benefits
received
by
a
Fund
Adviser
as
a
result
of
its
relationship
with
the
Funds
were
reasonable
and
within
acceptable
parameters.

Other
Considerations
The
Board
Members
did
not
identify
any
single
factor
discussed
previously
as
all-important
or
controlling.
The
Board
Members,
including
the
Independent
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
Fund
and
that
the
Advisory
Agreements
be
renewed.
Directors
and
Officers
(Unaudited)
The
management
of
the
Funds,
including
general
supervision
of
the
duties
performed
for
the
Funds
by
the
Adviser,
is
the
responsibility
of
the
Board
of Directors
of
the
Funds.
The
number
of
Directors of
the
Funds
is
currently
set
at
ten.
None
of
the Directors
who
are
not
“interested”
persons
of
the
Funds
(referred
to
herein
as
“Independent
Directors”)
has
ever
been
a Director
or
employee
of,
or
consultant
to,
Nuveen
or
its
affiliates.
The
names
and
business
addresses
of
the Directors

ITEM 4. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES. |
The following tables show the amount of fees that PricewaterhouseCoopers the Funds’ auditor, billed to the Funds’ during the Funds’ last two full fiscal years. The Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that PricewaterhouseCoopers provided to the Funds, except for those non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the “pre-approval exception”). The preapproval 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.
