Letter

Dear
Shareholders,
The
significant
measures
taken
by
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(Fed)
and
other
global
central
banks
since
2022
to
contain
inflation
have
begun
to
take
effect.
From
March
2022
to
July
2023,
the
Fed
raised
the
target
fed
funds
rate
by
5.25%
to
a
range
of
5.25%
to
5.50%.
Even
with
a
brief
pause
in
June
2023,
this
has
been
one
of
the
fastest
interest
rate
hiking
cycles
in
the
Fed’s
history.
Inflation
rates
in
the
U.S.
and
across
most
of
the
world
have
fallen
from
their
post-pandemic
highs
but
currently
remain
above
the
levels
that
central
banks
consider
supportive
of
their
economies’
long-term
growth,
particularly
when
looking
at
core
inflation
measures,
which
exclude
volatile
food
and
energy
prices.
At
the
same
time,
the
U.S.
and
other
large
economies
have
remained
relatively
resilient,
even
as
financial
conditions
have
tightened.
U.S.
gross
domestic
product
accelerated
to
2.4%
in
the
second
quarter
of
2023
from
2.0%
in
the
first
quarter
of
2023,
after
growing
2.1%
in
2022
overall
compared
to
2021.
A
relatively
strong
jobs
market
has
helped
support
consumer
sentiment
and
spending
despite
historically
high
inflation.
Markets
are
concerned
that
these
conditions
could
keep
upward
pressure
on
prices
and
wages
and
continue
to
assess
the
impact
of
the
collapse
of
three
regional
U.S.
banks
(Silicon
Valley
Bank,
Signature
Bank
and
First
Republic
Bank)
and
major
European
bank
Credit
Suisse
in
March
2023.
Fed
officials
are
closely
monitoring
inflation
data
and
other
economic
measures
to
modify
their
rate
setting
activity
based
upon
these
factors
on
a
meeting-by-meeting
basis,
including
pausing
rate
adjustments
at
the
June
2023
meeting
to
assess
the
effects
of
monetary
policy
on
the
economy.
While
uncertainty
has
increased
given
the
unpredictable
outcome
of
tighter
credit
conditions
on
the
economy,
the
Fed
remains
committed
to
acting
until
it
sees
sustainable
progress
toward
its
inflation
goals.
Additionally,
market
concerns
surrounding
the
U.S.
debt
ceiling
faded
after
the
government
agreed
in
June
2023
to
suspend
the
nation’s
borrowing
limit
until
January
2025,
averting
a
near-term
default
scenario.
In
the
meantime,
markets
are
likely
to
continue
reacting
in
the
short
term
to
news
about
inflation
data,
economic
indicators
and
central
bank
policy.
We
encourage
investors
to
keep
a
long-term
perspective
amid
the
short-term
turbulence.
Your
financial
professional
can
help
you
review
how
well
your
portfolio
is
aligned
with
your
time
horizon,
risk
tolerance
and
investment
goals.
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.

Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(the
“SEC”)
Adopts
Amendments
for
Tailored
Shareholder
Reports
On
October
26,
2022,
the
SEC
adopted
rule
and
form
amendments
(the
“Amendments”)
that
require
mutual
funds
and
exchange-
traded
funds
registered
on
Form
N-1A
to
provide
shareholders
with
streamlined
annual
and
semi-annual
shareholder
reports
(“Tailored
Shareholder
Reports”).
The
Amendments
require
funds
to
prepare
a
separate
Tailored
Shareholder
Report
for
each
share
class
of
each
series
of
a
fund.
As
a
result,
shareholders
will
receive
a
report
that
covers
only
the
class
of
a
multi-class
fund
in
which
the
shareholder
invests.
Tailored
Shareholder
Reports
are
meant
to
be
three
to
four
pages
in
length
and
will
highlight
key
information
such
as
a
fund’s
expenses,
performance
and
portfolio
holdings.
Other,
more
detailed
information
that
currently
appears
in
fund
shareholder
reports
will
be
made
available
online,
filed
with
the
SEC,
and
delivered
to
investors
free
of
charge
in
paper
or

upon
request.
The
first
Tailored
Shareholder

Risk
Considerations
and
Dividend
Information

Risk
Considerations
Nuveen
Global
Infrastructure
Fund
Mutual
fund
investing
involves
risk;
principal
loss
is
possible.
Concentration
in
infrastructure-related
securities
involves
sector
risk
and
concentration
risk,
particularly
greater
exposure
to
adverse
economic,
regulatory,
political,
legal,
liquidity,
and
tax
risks
associated
with
master
limited
partnerships
(MLPs)
and
real
estate
investment
trusts
(REITS).
Foreign
investments
involve
additional
risks
including
currency
fluctuations
and
economic
and
political
instability.
These
risks
are
magnified
in
emerging
markets.
Common
stocks
are
subject
to
market
risk
or
the
risk
of
decline.
Small-
and
mid-cap
stocks
are
subject
to
greater
price
volatility.
The
use
of
derivatives
involves
substantial
financial
risks
and
transaction
costs.
The
Fund’s
potential
investment
in
other
investment
companies
means
shareholders
bear
their
proportionate
share
of
fund
expenses
and
indirectly,
the
expenses
of
other
investment
companies.
Fund
investments
in
exchange
trade
funds
(ETFs)
may
involve
tracking
error.
Preferred
securities
may
involve
greater
credit
risk
than
other
debt
instruments.
These
and
other
risk
considerations
are
described
in
detail
in
the
Fund’s
prospectus.
Nuveen
Global
Real
Estate
Securities
Fund
Mutual
fund
investing
involves
risk;
principal
loss
is
possible.
There
is
no
guarantee
the
Fund’s
investment
objectives
will
be
achieved.
The
real
estate
industry
is
greatly
affected
by
economic
downturns
or
by
changes
in
real
estate
values,
rents,
property
taxes,
interest
rates,
tax
treatment,
regulations,
or
the
legal
structure
of
the
REIT.
Prices
of
equity
securities
may
decline
significantly
over
short
or
extended
periods
of
time.
Non-U.S.
investments
involve
risks
such
as
currency
fluctuation,
political
and
economic
instability,
lack
of
liquidity
and
differing
legal
and
accounting
standards.
These
risks
are
magnified
in
emerging
markets.
These
and
other
risk
considerations,
such
as
active
management,
derivatives,
preferred
security,
and,
small
and
mid-cap
risks,
are
described
in
detail
in
the
Fund’s
prospectus.
Nuveen
Real
Asset
Income
Fund
Mutual
fund
investing
involves
risk;
principal
loss
is
possible.
Concentration
in
specific
sectors
may
involve
greater
risk
and
volatility
than
more
diversified
investments:
real
estate
sector
involves
the
risk
of
exposure
to
economic
downturns
and
changes
in
real
estate
values,
rents,
property
taxes,
interest
rates
and
tax
laws;
infrastructure-related
securities
may
involve
greater
exposure
to
adverse
economic,
regulatory,
political,
legal,
and
other
changes
affecting
such
securities.
Foreign
investments
involve
additional
risks,
including
currency
fluctuation,
political
and
economic
instability,
lack
of
liquidity,
and
differing
legal
and
accounting
standards.
These
risks
are
magnified
in
emerging
markets.
Investments
in
small-
and
mid-cap
companies
are
subject
to
greater
volatility.
In
addition,
the
Fund
will
bear
its
proportionate
share
of
any
fees
and
expenses
paid
by
the
exchange
trade
funds
(ETFs)
in
which
it
invests.
Debt
or
fixed
income
securities
such
as
those
held
by
the
Fund
are
subject
to
market
risk,
credit
risk,
interest
rate
risk
and
income
risk.
As
interest
rates
rise,
bond
prices
fall.
Below
investment
grade
or
high
yield
debt
securities
are
subject
to
liquidity
risk
and
heightened
credit
risk.
Preferred
securities
are
subordinated
to
bonds
and
other
debt
instruments
in
a
company’s
capital
structure
and
therefore
are
subject
to
greater
credit
risk.
These
and
other
risk
considerations
are
described
in
detail
in
the
Fund’s
prospectus.
Nuveen
Real
Estate
Securities
Fund
Mutual
fund
investing
involves
risk;
principal

Common
stocks
and
REITs
such
as
those
held
in
the
Fund
involve
market
risk,
concentration
risk,
sector
risk,
and
non-diversification
risk.
The
real
estate
industry
is
greatly
affected
by
economic
downturns
that
may
persist
as
well
as
changes
in
property
values,
taxes,
and
regulatory
developments.
Foreign
investments
involve
additional
risks
including
currency
fluctuations,
and
economic
or
political
instability.
These
risks
are
magnified
in
emerging
markets.
The
use
of
derivatives
involves
substantial
financial
risks
and
transaction
costs.
Small
cap
stocks
may
experience
more
volatility
than
large
cap
stocks.
These
and
other
risk
considerations
are
described
in
detail
in
the
Fund’s
prospectus.
Dividend
Information
Regular
dividends
are
declared
and
distributed
annually
for
Nuveen
Global
Infrastructure
Fund,
declared
daily
and
distributed
monthly
for
Nuveen
Real
Asset
Income
Fund
and
declared
and
distributed
quarterly
for
Nuveen
Global
Real
Estate
Securities
Fund
and
Nuveen
Real
Estate
Securities
Fund.
To
permit
a
Fund
to
maintain
a
more
stable
dividend,
the
Fund
may
pay
dividends
at
a
rate
that
may
be
more
or
less
than
the
amount
of
net
investment
income
it
actually
earned
during
the
period.
In
certain
instances,
a
portion
of
each
Fund’s
distributions
may
be
paid
from
sources
or
comprised
of
elements
other
than
ordinary
income,
including
capital
gains
and/or
a
return
of
capital.
This
is
generally
due
to
the
fact
that
the
tax
character
of
Fund
distributions
for
a
fiscal
year
is
dependent
upon
the
amount
and
tax
character
of
distributions
received
from
securities
held
in
the
Fund’s
portfolio.
Distributions
received
from
certain
securities
in
which
the
Fund
invests,
most
notably
real
estate
investment
trust
(REIT)
securities,
may
be
characterized
for
tax
purposes
as
ordinary
income,
long-term
capital
gain
and/or
a
return
of
capital.
The
issuer
of
a
security
typically
reports
the
tax
character
of
its
distributions
only
once
per
year,
generally
during
the
first
two
months
of
the
Risk
Considerations
and
Dividend
Information
(continued)
6
following
calendar
year.
The
full
amount
of
the
distributions
received
from
such
securities
is
included
in
the
Fund’s
ordinary
income
during
the
course
of
the
year
until
such
time
the
Fund
is
notified
by
the
issuer
of
the
actual
tax
character.
To
the
extent
that
at
the
time
of
a
particular
distribution
the
Fund
estimates
that
a
portion
of
that
distribution
is
attributable
to
a
source
or
sources
other
than
ordinary
income,
the
Fund
would
send
shareholders
a
notice
to
that
effect.
The
final
determination
of
the
sources
and
tax
character
of
all
distributions
for
the
fiscal
year
is
made
after
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year.
Additional
Dividend
Information
for
Nuveen
Global
Real
Estate
Securities
Fund,
Nuveen
Real
Asset
Income
Fund
and
Nuveen
Real
Estate
Securities
Fund
Nuveen
Global
Real
Estate
Securities
Fund,
Nuveen
Real
Asset
Income
Fund
and
Nuveen
Real
Estate
Securities
Fund
seek
to
pay
regular
dividends
at
a
rate
that
reflects
the
cash
flow
received
from
each
Fund’s
investments
in
portfolio
securities.
Fund
distributions
are
not
intended
to
include
expected
portfolio
appreciation;
however,
the
Funds
invest
in
securities
that
make
payments
which
ultimately
may
be
fully
or
partially
characterized
for
tax
purposes
by
the
securities’
issuers
as
gains
or
return
of
capital.
While
the
reported
sources
of
distributions
may
include
capital
gains
and/or
return
of
capital
for
tax
purposes,
the
Funds
intend
to
distribute
only
the
net
cash
flow
received
as
opposed
to
a
distribution
rate
based
on
long-term
total
return.
This
tax
treatment
will
generally
“flow
through”
to
the
Funds’
distributions,
but
the
specific
tax
treatment
is
often
not
known
with
certainty
until
after
the
end
of
the
Funds’
tax
year.
As
a
result,
certain
portions
of
the
regular
distributions
by
Nuveen
Real
Asset
Income
Fund
and
Nuveen
Real
Estate
Securities
Fund
throughout
the
year
were
later
re-characterized
for
tax
purposes
as
either
long-term
gains
(both
realized
and
unrealized),
or
as
a
non-taxable
return
of
capital,
as
set
forth
in
each
Fund’s
table
below.
Nuveen
Global
Real
Estate
Securities
Fund
did
not
have
any
such
distribution
re-characterizations.
These
estimates
should
not
be
used
for
tax
reporting
purposes,
and
the
distribution
sources
may
differ
for
financial
reporting
than
for
tax
reporting.
The
final
determination
of
the
tax
characteristics
of
all
distributions
paid
in
2023
will
be
made
in
early
2024
based
on
the
information
from
the
issuer
of
the
security,
and
will
be
reported
to
you
on
Form
1099-DIV.

may
be
higher
or
lower
than
the
performance
shown.
Total
returns
for
a
period
of
less
than
one
year
are
not
annualized
(i.e.

to
waive

Expense
Examples
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
June
30,
2023.
The
beginning
of
the
period
is
January
1,
2023.
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.

For
Fund
portfolio
compliance
purposes,
the
Fund’s
industry
classifications
refer
to
any
one
or
more
of
the
industry
sub-classifications
used
by
one
or
more
widely
recognized
market
indexes
or
ratings
group
indexes,
and/or
as
defined
by
Fund
management.
This
definition
may
not
apply
for
purposes
of
this
report,
which
may
combine
industry
sub-classifications
into
sectors
for
reporting
ease.
(1)
All
percentages
shown
in
the
Portfolio
of
Investments
are
based
on
net
assets.
(2)
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
the
ratings
disclosed
are
the
highest
of
Standard
&
Poor’s
Group
(“Standard
&
Poor’s”),
Moody’s
Investors
Service,
Inc.
(“Moody’s”)
or
Fitch,
Inc.
(“Fitch”)
rating.
This
treatment
of
split-rated
securities
may
differ
from
that
used
for
other
purposes,
such
as
for
Fund
investment
policies.
Ratings
below
BBB
by
Standard
&
Poor’s,
Baa
by
Moody’s
or
BBB
by
Fitch
are
considered
to
be
below
investment
grade.
Holdings
designated
N/R
are
not
rated
by
any
of
these
national
rating
agencies.
(3)
Investment,
or
a
portion
of
investment,
is
out
on
loan
for
securities
lending.
The
total
value
of
the
securities
out
on
loan
as
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period
was
$22,057,381.
(4)
For
fair
value
measurement
disclosure
purposes,
investment
classified
as
Level
3.
(5)
Perpetual
security.
Maturity
date
is
not
applicable.
(6)
Variable
rate
security.
The
rate
shown
is
the
coupon
as
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period.
(7)
Senior
loans
generally
pay
interest
at
rates
which
are
periodically
adjusted
by
reference
to
a
base
short-term,
floating
lending
rate
(Reference
Rate)
plus
an
assigned
fixed
rate
(Spread).
These
floating
lending
rates
are
generally
(i)
the
lending
rate
referenced
by
the
London
Inter-Bank
Offered
Rate
("LIBOR"),
or
(ii)
the
prime
rate
offered
by
one
or
more
major
United
States
banks.
Senior
loans
may
be
considered
restricted
in
that
the
Fund
ordinarily
is
contractually
obligated
to
receive
approval
from
the
agent
bank
and/or
borrower
prior
to
the
disposition
of
a
senior
loan.
The
rate
shown
is
the
coupon
as
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period.
(8)
Senior
loans
generally
are
subject
to
mandatory
and/or
optional
prepayment.
Because
of
these
mandatory
prepayment
conditions
and
because
there
may
be
significant
economic
incentives
for
a
borrower
to
prepay,
prepayments
of
senior
loans
may
occur.
As
a
result,
the
actual
remaining
maturity
of
senior
loans
held
may
be
substantially
less
than
the
stated
maturities
shown.
(9)
The
Fund
may
loan
securities
representing
up
to
one
third
of
the
market
value
of
its
total
assets
(which
includes
collateral
for
securities
on
loan)
to
broker
dealers,
banks,
and
other
institutions.
The
collateral
maintained
by
the
Fund
shall
have
a
market
value,
at
the
inception
of
each
loan,
equal
to
not
less
than
100%
of
the
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities.
The
cash
collateral
received
by
the
Fund
is
invested
in
this
money
market
fund.
(10)
The
rate
shown
is
the
one-day
yield
as
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period.
(11)
Other
assets
less
liabilities
includes
the
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
of
certain
over-the-counter
(“OTC”)
derivatives
as
presented
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities,
when
applicable.
The
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
of
OTC
cleared
and
exchange-traded
derivatives
is
recognized
as
part
of
the
cash
collateral
at
brokers
and/or
the
receivable
or
payable
for
variation
margin
as
presented
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and

when
applicable.

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
common
share
transactions
through
the
date
of
the
report.
Total
return
is
computed
based
on
the
NAV
used
for
processing
security
and
common
share
transactions.
The
following
is
a
summary
of
the
significant
accounting
policies
consistently
followed
by
the
Funds.
Compensation:
Neither
Trust
pays
compensation
directly
to
those
of its officers,
all
of
whom
receive
remuneration
for
their
services
to
each
Trust
from
the
Adviser
or
its
affiliates.
The
Funds’
Board
of
Directors/Trustees
(the
’’Board’’)
has
adopted
a
deferred
compensation
plan
for
independent
directors/trustees
that
enables
directors/trustees
to
elect
to
defer
receipt
of
all
or
a
portion
of
the
annual
compensation
they
are
entitled
to
receive
from
certain
Nuveen-advised
funds.
Under
the
plan,
deferred
amounts
are
treated
as
though
equal
dollar
amounts
had
been
invested
in
shares
of
select
Nuveen-advised
funds.
Distributions
to
Shareholders:
Distributions
to
shareholders
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
The
amount,
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.
The
tax
character
of
Fund
distributions
for
a
fiscal
year
is
dependent
upon
the
amount
and
tax
character
of
distributions
received
from
securities
held
in
the
Funds’
portfolios.
Distributions
received
from
certain
securities
in
which
the
Funds
invest,
most
notably
real
estate
investment
trust
(“REIT”)
securities,
may
be
characterized
for
tax
purposes
as
ordinary
income,
long-term
capital
gain
and/or
a
return
of
capital.
The
issuer
of
a
security
reports
the
tax
character
of
its
distributions
only
once
per
year,
generally
during
the
first
two
months
of
the
calendar
year
for
the
previous
year.
The
distribution
is
included
in
the
Funds’
ordinary
income
until
such
time
the
Fund
is
notified
by
the
issuer
of
the
actual
tax
character.
For
the
current
fiscal
period,
dividend
income,
net
realized
gain
(loss)
and
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
recognized
on
the
Statement
of
Operations
reflect
the
amounts
of
ordinary
income,
capital
gain,
and/or
return
of
capital
as
reported
by
the
issuers
of
such
securities
as
of
the
prior
calendar
year
end.
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.
59
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.
As
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
the
following
Funds'
investments
in
non-U.S.
securities
were
as
follows:
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 each
Trust’s
organizational
documents,
its
officers
and
directors/trustees
are
indemnified
against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to each
Trust.
In
addition,
in
the
normal
course
of
business, each
Trust
enters
into
contracts
that
provide
general
indemnifications
to
other
parties. Each
Trust’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
as
this
would
involve
future
claims
that
may
be
made
against each
Trust
that
have
not
yet
occurred.
However, each
Trust
has
not
had
prior
claims
or
losses
pursuant
to
these
contracts
and
expects
the
risk
of
loss
to
be
remote.

(Unaudited)
(continued)
Investments
and
Investment
Income:
Securities
transactions
are
accounted
for
as
of
the
trade
date
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Trade
date
for
senior
and
subordinated
loans
purchased
in
the
“primary
market”
is
considered
the
date
on
which
the
loan
allocations
are
determined.
Trade
date
for
senior
and
subordinated
loans
purchased
in
the
“secondary
market”
is
the
date
on
which
the
transaction
is
entered
into.
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,
which
is
recorded
on
an
accrual
basis
and
includes
accretion
of
discounts
and
amortization
of
premiums
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Interest
income
also
reflects
payment-in-kind
(“PIK”)
interest,
paydown
gains
and
losses
and
fee
income,
if
any.
PIK
interest
represents
income
received
in
the
form
of
securities
in
lieu
of
cash.
Fee
income
consists
primarily
of
amendment
fees,
when
applicable.
Amendment
fees
are
earned
as
compensation
for
evaluating
and
accepting
changes
to
an
original
senior
loan
agreement
and
are
recognized
when
received.
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
Global
Infrastructure,
Global
Real
Estate
Securities
and
Real
Estate
Securities
that
are
not
directly
attributable
to
a
specific
class
of
shares
are
prorated
among
the
classes
of
each
Fund
based
on
the
relative
net
assets
of
each
class.
Income
and
expenses
of
Real
Asset
Income
that
are
not
directly
attributable
to
a
specific
class
of

are
prorated
among
the
classes
based
on
the
relative
settled
shares
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
for
Global
Infrastructure,
Global
Real
Estate
Securities
and
Real
Estate
Securities
and
relative
settled
shares
for
Real
Asset
Income.
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.
With
respect
to
certain
counterparties,
in
accordance
with
the
terms
of
the
netting
agreements,
collateral
posted
to
the
Funds
is
held
in
a
segregated
account
by
the
Funds’
custodian
and/or
with
respect
to
those
amounts
which
can
be
sold
or
repledged,
are
presented
in
the
Funds’
Portfolio
of
Investments
or
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
The
Funds’
investments
subject
to
netting
agreements
as
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
if
any,
are
further
described
later
in
these
Notes
to
Financial
Statements.
New
Accounting
Pronouncement:
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.
In
December
2022,
FASB
deferred
ASU
2022-04
and
issued
ASU
2022-06,
Reference
Rate
Reform:
Deferral
of
the
Sunset
Date
of
Topic
848,
which
extends
the
application
of
the
amendments
through
December
31,
2024. 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
Accounting
Pronouncement:
In
June
2022,
the
FASB
issued
ASU
2022-03
to
clarify
the
guidance
in
Topic
820,
Fair
Value
Measurement
("Topic
820").
The
amendments
in
ASU
2022-03
affect
all
entities
that
have
investments
in
equity
securities
measured
at
fair
value
that
are
subject
to
a
contractual
sale
restriction.
ASU
2022-03
(1)
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
issuance.
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.
61
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
fixed-income
securities
are
generally
provided
by
pricing
services
approved
by
the
Adviser,
which
is
subject
to
review
by
the
Adviser
and
oversight
of
the
Board. Pricing
services
establish
a
security’s
fair
value
using
methods
that
may
include
consideration
of
the
following:
yields
or
prices
of
investments
of
comparable
quality,
type
of
issue,
coupon,
maturity
and
rating,
market
quotes
or
indications
of
value
from
security
dealers,
evaluations
of
anticipated
cash
flows
or
collateral,
general
market
conditions
and
other
information
and
analysis,
including
the
obligor’s
credit
characteristics
considered
relevant.
In
pricing
certain
securities,
particularly
less
liquid
and
lower
quality
securities,
pricing
services
may
consider
information
about
a
security,
its
issuer
or
market
activity
provided
by
the
Adviser.
These
securities
are
generally
classified
as
Level
2.
Prices
of
certain
American
Depositary
Receipts
(“ADR”)
held
by
the
Funds
that
trade
in
the
United
States
are
valued
based
on
the
last
traded
price,
official
closing
price,
or
an
evaluated
price
provided
by
the
pricing
services and
are
generally
classified
as
Level
1
or
2.
Investments
in
investment
companies
are
valued
at
their
respective
NAVs
or
share
price on
the
valuation
date
and
are
generally
classified
as
Level
1.
Repurchase
agreements
are
valued
at
contract
amount
plus
accrued
interest,
which
approximates
market
value.
These
securities
are
generally
classified
as
Level
2.
Futures
contracts
are
valued
using
the
closing
settlement
price
or,
in
the
absence
of
such
a
price,
the
last
traded
price
and
are
generally
classified
as
Level
1.
For
any
portfolio
security
or
derivative
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
or
for
which
the
Adviser
deems
the
valuations
derived
using
the
valuation
procedures
described
above
not
to
reflect
fair
value,
the
Adviser
will
determine
a
fair
value
in
good
faith
using
alternative
procedures
approved
by
the
Adviser,
subject
to
the
oversight
of
the
Board.
As
a
general
principle,
the
fair
value
of
a
security
is
the
amount
that
the
owner
might
reasonably
expect
to
receive
for
it
in
a
current
sale.
A
variety
of
factors
may
be
considered
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
such
securities,
which
may
include
consideration
of
the
following:
yields
or
prices
of
investments
of
comparable
quality,
type
of
issue,
coupon,
maturity
and
rating,
market
quotes
or
indications
of
value
from
security
dealers,
evaluations
of
anticipated
cash
flows
or
collateral,
general
market
conditions
and
other
information
and
analysis,
including
the
obligor’s
credit
characteristics
considered
relevant.
To
the
extent
the
inputs
are
observable
and
timely,
the
values
would
be
classified
as
Level
2;
otherwise
they
would
be
classified
as
Level
3.
The
following
table
summarizes
the
market
value
of
the
Funds’
investments
as
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
based
on
the
inputs
used
to
value
them:

Portfolio
Securities
Unfunded
Commitments:
Pursuant
to
the
terms
of
certain
of
the
variable
rate
senior
loan
agreements,
Real
Asset
Income
may
have
unfunded
senior
loan
commitments.
The
Fund
will
maintain
with
its
custodian,
cash,
liquid
securities
and/or
liquid
senior
loans
having
an
aggregate
value
at
least
equal
to
the
amount
of
unfunded
senior
loan
commitments.
As
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
the
Fund
had
no
such
outstanding
unfunded
senior
loan
commitments.
Participation
Commitments:
With
respect
to
the
senior
loans
held
in
Real
Asset
Income’s
portfolio,
the
Fund
may:
1)
invest
in
assignments;
2)
act
as
a
participant
in
primary
lending
syndicates;
or
3)
invest
in
participations.
If
the
Fund
purchases
a
participation
of
a
senior
loan
interest,
the
Fund
would
typically
enter
into
a
contractual
agreement
with
the
lender
or
other
third
party
selling
the
participation,
rather
than
directly
with
the
borrower.
As
such,
the
Fund
not
only
assumes
the
credit
risk
of
the
borrower,
but
also
that
of
the
selling
participant
or
other
persons
interpositioned
between
the
Fund
and
the
borrower.
As
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
the
Fund
had
no
such
outstanding
participation
commitments.
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, a
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:
Purchases
and
Sales:
Long-term
purchases
and
sales
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.
5.
Derivative
Investments
Each
Fund
is
authorized
to
invest
in
certain
derivative
instruments.
As
defined
by
U.S.
GAAP,
a
derivative
is
a
financial
instrument
whose
value
is
derived
from
an
underlying
security
price,
foreign
exchange
rate,
interest
rate,
index
of
prices
or
rates,
or
other
variables.
Futures
Contracts:
During
the
current
fiscal
period,
Real
Asset
Income
used
interest
rate
futures
to
partially
hedge
the
portfolio
against
movements
in
interest
rates.
A
futures
contract
is
an
agreement
between
two
parties
to
buy
and
sell
a
financial
instrument
for
a
set
price
on
a
future
date.
Upon
execution
of
a
futures
contract,
the
Fund
is
obligated
to
deposit
cash
or
eligible
securities,
also
known
as
“initial
margin,”
into
an
account
at
its
clearing
broker
equal
to
a
specified
percentage
of
the
contract
amount.
Securities
deposited
for
initial
margin,
if
any,
are
identified
in
the
Portfolio
of
Investments
and
cash
deposited
for
initial
margin,
if
any,
is
reflected
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
During
the
period
the
futures
contract
is
open,
changes
in
the
market
value
of
the
contract
are
recognized
as
an
unrealized
gain
or
loss
by
“marking-
to-market”
on
a
daily
basis.
The
Fund
and
the
clearing
broker
are
obligated
to
settle
monies
on
a
daily
basis
representing
the
changes
in
the
value
of
the
contracts.
These
daily
cash
settlements
are
known
as
“variation
margin”
and
is
recognized
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
a
receivable
or
payable
for
variation
margin
on
futures
contracts.

is
included
on

Risks
of
investments
in
futures
contracts
include
the
possible
adverse
movement
in
the

of
the
securities
or

underlying
the

the
possibility
that

The
average

of

during

was
as
follows:
Market
and
Counterparty
Credit
Risk:
In
the
normal
course
of
business
each
Fund
may
invest
in
financial
instruments
and
enter
into
financial
transactions
where
risk
of
potential
loss
exists
due
to
changes
in
the
market
(market
risk)
or
failure
of
the
other
party
to
the
transaction
to
perform
(counterparty
credit
risk).
The
potential
loss
could
exceed
the
value
of
the
financial
assets
recorded
on
the
financial
statements.
Financial
assets,
which
potentially
expose
each
Fund
to
counterparty
credit
risk,
consist
principally
of
cash
due
from
counterparties
on
forward,
option
and
swap
transactions,
when
applicable.
The
extent
of
each
Fund’s
exposure
to
counterparty
credit
risk
in
respect
to
these
financial
assets
approximates
their
carrying
value
as
recorded
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Each
Fund
helps
manage
counterparty
credit
risk
by
entering
into
agreements
only
with
counterparties
the
Adviser
believes
have
the
financial
resources
to
honor
their
obligations
and
by
having
the
Adviser
monitor
the
financial
stability
of
the
counterparties.
Additionally,
counterparties
may
be
required
to
pledge
collateral
daily
(based
on
the
daily
valuation
of
the
financial
asset)
on
behalf
of
each
Fund
with
a
value
approximately
equal
to
the
amount
of
any
unrealized
gain
above
a
pre-determined
threshold.
Reciprocally,
when
each
Fund
has
an
unrealized
loss,
the
Funds
have
instructed
the
custodian
to
pledge
assets
of
the
Funds
as
collateral
with
a
value
approximately
equal
to
the
amount
of
the
unrealized
loss
above
a
pre-determined
threshold.
Collateral
pledges
are
monitored
and
subsequently
adjusted
if
and
when
the
valuations
fluctuate,
either
up
or
down,
by
at
least
the
pre-determined
threshold
amount.
As

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.

Management
Fees
and
Other
Transactions
with
Affiliates
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

Notes

Financial

(Unaudited)
(continued)
The
annual
complex-level
fee,
payable
monthly,
for
each
Fund
is
determined
by
taking
the
complex-level
fee
rate,
which
is
based
on
the
aggregate
amount
of
“eligible
assets”
of
all
Nuveen
funds
as
set
forth
in
the
schedule
below,
and
(except
for
Global
Real
Estate
Securities
and
Real
Asset
Income)
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
June
30,
2023,
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,
2025,
may
be
terminated
or
modified
prior
to
that
date
only
with
the
approval
of
the
Board.

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
Funds
receive
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
Funds
is
recognized
in
"Other
income"
on
the
Statement
of
Operations.
During
the
current
fiscal
period,

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.
During
the
current
fiscal
period,
the
Distributor
compensated
financial
intermediaries
directly
with
commission
advances
at
the
time
of

intermediaries,
all
12b-1
service
and
distribution
fees
collected

Class
C
Shares
during
the
first
year
following
a
purchase
are
retained
by
the
Distributor.

Borrowing
Arrangements
Committed
Line
of
Credit:
The
Funds,
along
with
certain
other
funds
managed
by
the
Adviser
(“Participating
Funds”),
have
established
a
364-day,
$2.700
billion
standby
credit
facility
with
a
group
of
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
current
credit
facility
was
entered
into
on
June
21,
2023
expiring
on
June
19,
2024,
replacing
the
previous
facility,
which
expired
June
2023.
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
period,
the
Funds
did
not
utilize
this
facility.

this
Report
(Unaudited)
Average
Annual
Total
Return:
This
is
a
commonly
used
method
to
express
an
investment’s
performance
over
a
particular,
usually
multi-year
time
period.
It
expresses
the
return
that
would
have
been
necessary
each
year
to
equal
the
investment’s
actual
cumulative
performance
(including
change
in
NAV
or
offer
price
and
reinvested
dividends
and
capital
gains
distributions,
if
any)
over
the
time
period
being
considered.
Basis
Point:
One
one-hundredth
of
one
percentage
point,
or
0.01%.
For
example,
25
basis
points
equals
0.25%.
Beta:
A
measure
of
the
volatility
of
a
portfolio
relative
to
the
overall
market.
A
beta
less
than
1.0
indicates
lower
risk
than
the
market;
a
beta
greater
than
1.0
indicates
higher
risk
than
the
market.
Market
Capitalization:
The
market
capitalization
of
a
company
is
equal
to
the
number
of
the
company’s
common
shares
outstanding
multiplied
by
the
current
price
of
the
company’s
stock.
Net
Asset
Value
(NAV)
Per
Share:
A
fund’s
Net
Assets
is
equal
to
its
total
assets
(securities,
cash
and
accrued
earnings)
less
its
total
liabilities.
For
funds
with
multiple
classes,
Net
Assets
are
determined
separately
for
each
share
class.
NAV
per
share
is
equal
to
the
fund’s
(or
share
class’)
Net
Assets
divided
by
its
number
of
shares
outstanding.
Tax
Equalization
:
The
practice
of
treating
a
portion
of
the
distribution
made
to
a
redeeming
shareholder,
which
represents
their
proportionate
part
of
undistributed
net
investment
income
and
capital
gain
as
a
distribution
for
tax
purposes.
Such
amounts
are
referred
to
as
the
equalization
debits
(or
payments)
and
will
be
considered
a
distribution
to
the
shareholder
of
net
investment
income
and
capital
gain
for
calculation
of
the
fund’s

paid
deduction.
Liquidity
Risk
Management
Program
(Unaudited)
73
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
Directors
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,
2023
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
2022
(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,
“liquid”,
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
Illiquid
investments.

Annual
Investment
Management
Agreement
Approval
Process
(Unaudited)
At
a
meeting
held
on
May
23-25,
2023
(the
“May
Meeting”),
the
Board
of
Trustees
or
Directors,
as
applicable
(the
“Board”
and
each
Trustee
or
Director,
a
“Board
Member”)
of
the
Funds,
which
is
comprised
entirely
of
Board
Members
who
are
not
“interested
persons”
(as
defined
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(the
“1940
Act”))
(the
“Independent
Board
Members”),
approved,
for
each
Fund,
the
renewal
of
the
management
agreement
(each,
an
“Investment
Management
Agreement”)
with
Nuveen
Fund
Advisors,
LLC
(the
“Adviser”)
pursuant
to
which
the
Adviser
serves
as
investment
adviser
to
such
Fund
and
the
sub-advisory
agreement
(each,
a
“Sub-Advisory
Agreement”)
with
Nuveen
Asset
Management,
LLC
(the
“Sub-Adviser”)
pursuant
to
which
the
Sub-Adviser
serves
as
the
sub-adviser
to
such
Fund
for
an
additional
one-year
term.
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
Adviser.”
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
the
applicable
sub-advisers
in
their
annual
review
of
the
advisory
agreements.
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
to
the
Board’s
annual
consideration
of
the
renewal
of
the
advisory
agreements
for
the
Nuveen
funds.
Such
information
may
address,
among
other
things,
fund
performance
and
risk
information;
the
Adviser’s
strategic
plans;
product
initiatives
for
various
funds;
the
review
of
the
funds
and
investment
teams;
compliance,
regulatory
and
risk
management
matters;
the
trading
practices
of
the
various
sub-advisers
to
the
Nuveen
funds;
management
of
distributions;
valuation
of
securities;
fund
expenses;
payments
to
financial
intermediaries,
including
12b-1
fees
and
sub-transfer
agency
fees,
if
applicable;
securities
lending;
liquidity
management;
and
overall
market
and
regulatory
developments.
The
Board
also
seeks
to
meet
periodically
with
the
Nuveen
funds’
sub-advisers
and/or
portfolio
teams,
when
feasible.
The
presentations,
discussions,
and
meetings
throughout
the
year
also
provide
a
means
for
the
Board
to
evaluate
the
level,
breadth
and
quality
of
services
provided
by
the
Adviser
and
how
such
services
have
changed
over
time
in
light
of
new
or
modified
regulatory
requirements,
changes
to
market
conditions
or
other
factors.
In
connection
with
its
annual
consideration
of
the
advisory
agreements
for
the
Nuveen
funds,
the
Board,
through
its
independent
legal
counsel,
requested
and
received
extensive
materials
and
information
prepared
specifically
for
its
review
of
such
advisory
agreements
by
the
Adviser
and
by
Broadridge
Financial
Solutions,
Inc.
(“Broadridge”),
an
independent
provider
of
investment
company
data.
The
materials
cover
a
wide
range
of
topics
including,
but
not
limited
to,
a
description
of
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
by
the
Fund
Advisers;
a
review
of
product
actions
advanced
in
2022
for
the
benefit
of
particular
Nuveen
funds
and/or
the
Nuveen
fund
complex;
a
review
of
each
sub-adviser
to
the
Nuveen
funds
and/or
the
applicable
investment
team;
an
analysis
of
fund
performance
with
a
focus
on
any
Nuveen
funds
considered
performance
outliers;
an
analysis
of
the
fees
and
expense
ratios
of
the
Nuveen
funds
with
a
focus
on
any
Nuveen
funds
considered
expense
outliers;
a
review
of
management
fee
schedules;
a
review
of
temporary
and
permanent
expense
caps
and
fee
waivers
for
open-end
funds
(as
applicable)
and
related
expense
savings;
a
description
of
portfolio
manager
compensation;
a
description
of
the
profitability
or
financial
data
of
Nuveen
and
the
sub-advisers
to
the
Nuveen
funds;
and
a
description
of
indirect
benefits
received
by
the
Adviser
and
the
sub-advisers
as
a
result
of
their
relationships
with
the
Nuveen
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.
The
performance,
fee
and
expense
data
and
other
information
provided
by
a
Fund
Adviser,
Broadridge
or
other
service
providers
were
not
independently
verified
by
the
Independent
Board
Members.
As
part
of
its
review,
the
Board
met
on
April
11-12,
2023
(the
“April
Meeting”)
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
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.
The
contractual
arrangements
are
a
result
of
multiple
years
of
review,
negotiation
and
information
provided
in
connection
with
the
Board’s
annual
review
of
the
Nuveen
funds’
advisory
arrangements
and
oversight
of
the
Nuveen
funds.
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.
75
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
or
changes
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
Adviser
provides
a
wide
array
of
management,
oversight
and
administrative
services
to
manage
and
operate
the
Nuveen
funds
and
that
the
scope
and
complexity
of
these
services,
along
with
the
undertakings
required
of
the
Adviser
in
connection
with
providing
these
services,
have
expanded
over
time
as
a
result
of,
among
other
things,
regulatory,
market
and
other
developments.
The
Board
noted
the
Adviser’s
dedication
of
resources,
time,
personnel
and
capital
and
commitment
to
continuing
to
develop
improvements
and
innovations
that
seek
to
enhance
the
Nuveen
fund
complex
and
meet
the
needs
of
the
Nuveen
funds
in
an
increasingly
complex
regulatory
environment.
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
breadth
and
the
quality
of
the
services
the
Adviser
and
its
various
teams
provide
in
overseeing
the
investment
management
of
the
Nuveen
funds,
including,
among
other
things,
overseeing
and
reviewing
the
services
provided
by
the
various
sub-advisers
to
the
Nuveen
funds
and
their
investment
teams;
evaluating
fund
performance
and
market
conditions;
overseeing
operational
and
investment
risks;
evaluating
investment
strategies
and
recommending
any
changes
thereto;
managing
liquidity;
managing
the
daily
valuation
of
portfolio
securities;
overseeing
trade
execution
and
securities
lending;
and
setting
and
managing
distributions
consistent
with
the
respective
fund’s
product
design.
The
Board
also
reviewed
the
structure
of
investment
personnel
compensation
of
each
Fund
Adviser
and
considered
whether
the
structure
provides
appropriate
incentives
to
attract
and
maintain
qualified
personnel
and
to
act
in
the
best
interests
of
the
respective
Nuveen
fund.
Given
the
Nuveen
funds
operate
in
a
highly
regulated
industry,
the
Board
further
considered
the
extensive
compliance,
regulatory
and
administrative
services
the
Adviser
and
its
various
teams
provide
to
manage
and
operate
the
Nuveen
funds.
The
Board
recognized
such
services
included,
but
were
not
limited
to,
managing
compliance
policies;
monitoring
compliance
with
applicable
policies,
laws
and
regulations;
devising
internal
compliance
programs
in
seeking
to
enhance
compliance
with
regulatory
requirements
and
creating
a
framework
to
review
and
assess
compliance
programs;
overseeing
sub-adviser
compliance
testing;
preparing
compliance
training
materials;
and
responding
to
regulatory
requests.
The
Board
reviewed
highlights
of
the
various
initiatives
Nuveen
compliance
had
taken
in
2022
including,
among
other
things,
additional
due
diligence
of
service
providers
as
their
operating
environments
evolve
post-Covid
to
more
hybrid
in-person
working
arrangements;
investments
in
supporting
and
expanding
international
trading
capabilities;
continuing
efforts
to
enhance
policies
and
controls
to
address
compliance
risks
including
those
related
to
environmental,
social
and
governance
(“ESG”)
matters
and
new
regulatory
developments
or
guidance;
and
establishing
and
maintaining
compliance
policies
and
comprehensive
compliance
training
programs.
The
Board
also
considered
information
regarding
the
Adviser’s
business
continuity,
disaster
recovery
and
information
security
programs
and
the
periodic
testing
and
review
of
such
programs.
In
addition
to
the
above
functions,
the
Board
considered
the
quality
and
extent
of
other
non-advisory
services
the
Adviser
provides
including,
among
other
things,
various
fund
administration
services
(such
as
preparing,
overseeing
or
assisting
with
the
preparation
of
tax
and
regulatory
filings);
product
management
services
(such
as
evaluating
and
enhancing
products
and
strategies);
legal
support
services;
shareholder
services
and
transfer
agency
function
oversight
services;
and
board
support
and
reporting
services.
With
respect
to
board
support
services,
the
Board
reviewed
a
summary
of
the
annual,
quarterly,
and
special
reports
the
Adviser
and/or
its
affiliates
provided
to
the
Board
throughout
2022.
The
Board
further
acknowledged
various
initiatives
the
Adviser
had
undertaken
or
continued
in
2022
in
seeking
to
improve
the
effectiveness
of
its
organization,
the
Nuveen
funds
product
line-up
as
well
as
particular
Nuveen
fund(s)
through,
among
other
things,
rationalizing
the
product
line
and
gaining
efficiencies
through
mergers,
repositionings
and
liquidations;
launching
new
funds;
reviewing
and
updating
investment
policies
and
benchmarks;
reopening
certain
funds
previously
closed
to
new
investors;
adding
or
modifying
the
share
classes
offered
by
certain
funds;
implementing
fee
waivers
and
expense
cap
changes
for
certain
funds
and
evaluating
and
adjusting
portfolio
management
teams
as
appropriate
for
various
funds;
and
developing
policy
positions
on
a
broad
range
of
regulatory
proposals
that
may
impact
the
funds
and
communicating
with
lawmakers
and
other
regulatory
authorities
to
help
ensure
these
positions
are
represented.
Aside
from
the
services
provided,
the
Board
recognized
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.
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.
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
to
such
team,
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

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
considered
a
variety
of
investment
performance
data
of
the
Nuveen
funds
prepared
specifically
for
the
annual
review
of
the
advisory
agreements
as
well
as
the
performance
data
the
Board
received
throughout
the
year
representing
different
time
periods.
In
this
regard,
leading
into
the
May
Meeting,
the
Board
reviewed,
among
other
things,
Fund
performance
over
the
quarter,
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
ending
December 31,
2022
and
March
31,
2023
(or
for
shorter
periods
available
to
the
extent
a
Fund
was
not
in
existence
during
such
periods).
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.
In
addition,
the
Board
reviewed
and
discussed
performance
data
at
its
regularly
scheduled
quarterly
meetings
during
the
year.
The
Board
therefore
took
into
account
the
performance
data,
presentations
and
discussions
(written
and
oral)
that
have
been
provided
for
the
annual
review
as
well
as
in
prior
meetings
over
time
in
evaluating
fund
performance,
including
the
Adviser’s
analysis
of
a
fund’s
performance
with
particular
focus
on
performance
outliers
(both
overperformance
and
underperformance),
the
factors
contributing
to
performance
(including
relative
to
a
fund’s
benchmark
and
peers
and
the
impact
of
market
conditions)
and
any
recommendations
or
steps
that
had
been
taken
or
were
proposed
to
be
taken
to
address
significant
performance
concerns.
In
this
regard,
the
Board
noted,
among
other
things,
that
certain
Nuveen
funds
had
changes
in
portfolio
managers
or
other
significant
changes
to
their
investment
strategies
or
policies
since
March
2020,
and,
as
a
result,
the
Board
reviewed
certain
tracking
performance
data
comparing
the
performance
of
such
funds
before
and
after
such
changes.
The
Board
recognized
that
performance
data
reflects
performance
over
a
specified
period
which
may
differ
significantly
depending
on
the
ending
dates
selected,
particularly
during
periods
of
market
volatility.
Further,
the
Board
noted
that
shareholders
may
evaluate
performance
based
on
their
own
respective
holding
periods
which
may
differ
from
the
performance
periods
reviewed
by
the
Board
and
lead
to
differing
results.
In
its
evaluation,
the
Board
reviewed
Nuveen
fund
performance
results
from
different
perspectives.
In
general,
subject
to
certain
exceptions,
the
Board
reviewed
both
absolute
and
relative
fund
performance
during
the
annual
review
over
the
various
time
periods
and
evaluated
performance
results
in
light
of
a
fund’s
investment
objective(s),
strategies
and
risks.
With
respect
to
the
relative
performance,
the
Board
considered
fund
performance
in
comparison
to
the
performance
of
peer
funds
(the
“Performance
Peer
Group”)
and
recognized
and/or
customized
benchmarks
(i.e.,
generally
benchmarks
derived
from
multiple
recognized
benchmarks).
In
reviewing
such
comparative
performance,
the
Board
was
cognizant
of
the
inherent
limitations
of
such
data
which
can
make
meaningful
performance
comparisons
generally
difficult.
As
an
illustration,
differences
in
the
composition
of
the
Performance
Peer
Group,
the
investment
objective(s),
strategies
and
other
characteristics
of
the
peers
in
the
Performance
Peer
Group,
the
level,
type
and
cost
of
leverage
(if
any)
of
the
peers,
and
the
varying
sizes
of
peers
all
may
contribute
to
differences
in
the
performance
results
of
a
Performance
Peer
Group
compared
to
the
applicable
Nuveen
fund.
With
respect
to
relative
performance
of
a
Nuveen
fund
compared
to
a
benchmark
index,
differences,
among
other
things,
in
the
investment
objective(s)
and
strategies
of
a
fund
and
the
benchmark
(particularly
an
actively
managed
fund
that
does
not
directly
follow
an
index)
as
well
as
the
costs
of
operating
a
fund
would
necessarily
contribute
to
differences
in
performance
results
and
limit
the
value
of
the
comparative
performance
information.
To
assist
the
Board
in
its
review
of
the
comparability
of
the
relative
performance,
the
Adviser
has
ranked
the
relevancy
of
the
peer
group
to
the
Funds
as
low,
medium
or
high.
The
Board
also
evaluated
Nuveen
fund
performance
in
light
of
various
relevant
factors
which
may
include,
among
other
things,
general
market
conditions,
issuer-specific
information,
asset
class
information,
leverage
and
fund
cash
flows.
The
Board
acknowledged
that
long-term
performance
could
be
impacted
by
even
one
period
of
significant
outperformance
or
underperformance
and
that
a
single
investment
theme
could
disproportionately
affect
performance.
Further,
the
Board
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.
Although
the
Board
reviews
short-,
intermediate-
and
longer-term
performance
data,
the
Board
recognized
that
longer
periods
of
performance
may
reflect
full
market
cycles.
In
relation
to
recent
general
market
conditions,
the
Board
had
recognized
the
general
market
volatility
and
underperformance
of
the
market
in
2022
in
considering
Nuveen
fund
performance.
The
Board
took
into
account
the
Adviser’s
assessment
of
a
fund’s
performance
during
the
recent
period
of
significant
market
volatility.
In
their
review
from
year
to
year,
the
Board
Members
consider
and
may
place
different
emphasis
on
the
relevant
information
in
light
of
changing
circumstances
in
market
and
economic
conditions.
In
evaluating
performance,
the
Board
focused
particular
attention
on
funds
with
less
favorable
performance
records.
However,
depending
on
the
facts
and
circumstances
including
any
differences
between
the
respective
fund
and
its
benchmark
and/or
Performance
Peer
Group,
the
Board
may
be
satisfied
with
a
fund’s
performance
notwithstanding
that
its
performance
may
be
below
that
of
its
benchmark
and/or
peer
group
for
certain
periods.
With
respect
to
any
funds
for
which
the
Board
has
identified
performance
issues,
the
Board
seeks
to
monitor
such
funds
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
Nuveen
Global
Infrastructure
Fund
(the
“Global
Infrastructure
Fund”),
the
Board
noted
that
although
the
Fund’s
performance
was
below
the
performance
of
its
benchmark
for
the
one-year
period
ended
December
31,
2022,
the
Fund
outperformed
its
benchmark
for
the
three-
and
five-year
periods
ended
December
31,
2022
and
ranked
in
the
first
quartile
of
its
Performance
Peer
Group
for
the
one-year
period,
third
quartile
for
the
three-
year
period
and
second
quartile
for
the
five-year
period
ended
December
31,
2022.
In
addition,
although
the
Fund’s
performance
was
below
the
performance
of
its
benchmark
for
the
one-
and
three-year
periods
ended
March
31,
2023,
the
Fund
outperformed
its
benchmark
for
the
five-year
77
period
ended
March
31,
2023
and
ranked
in
the
first
quartile
of
its
Performance
Peer
Group
for
the
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
ended
March
31,
2023.
On
the
basis
of
the
Board’s
ongoing
review
of
investment
performance
and
all
relevant
factors,
including
the
relative
market
conditions
during
certain
reporting
periods,
the
Fund’s
investment
objective(s)
and
management’s
discussion
of
performance,
the
Board
concluded
that
in
light
of
these
factors,
the
Fund’s
performance
supported
renewal
of
the
Advisory
Agreements.
For
Nuveen
Global
Real
Estate
Securities
Fund
(the
“Global
Real
Estate
Securities
Fund”),
the
Board
noted
that
the
Fund
outperformed
or
matched
the
performance
of
its
benchmark
for
the
one-
and
three-year
periods
ended
December 31,
2022
and
ranked
in
the
second
quartile
of
its
Performance
Peer
Group
for
the
one-year
period
ended
December 31,
2022
and
first
quartile
for
the
three-year
period
ended
December 31,
2022.
Further,
the
Fund
outperformed
its
benchmark
for
the
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
ended
March
31,
2023
and
ranked
in
the
second
quartile
of
its
Performance
Peer
Group
for
the
one-year
period
and
first
quartile
for
the
three-
and
five-year
periods
ended
March 31,
2023.
On
the
basis
of
the
Board’s
ongoing
review
of
investment
performance
and
all
relevant
factors,
including
the
relative
market
conditions
during
certain
reporting
periods,
the
Fund’s
investment
objective(s)
and
management’s
discussion
of
performance,
the
Board
concluded
that
in
light
of
these
factors,
the
Fund’s
performance
supported
renewal
of
the
Advisory
Agreements.
For
Nuveen
Real
Asset
Income
Fund
(the
“Real
Asset
Income
Fund”),
the
Board
noted
that
although
the
Fund’s
performance
was
below
the
performance
of
its
blended
benchmark
for
the
three-year
period
ended
December 31,
2022,
the
Fund
outperformed
its
blended
benchmark
for
the
one-
and
five-year
periods
ended
December 31,
2022.
The
Fund
also
ranked
in
the
fourth
quartile
of
its
Performance
Peer
Group
for
the
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
ended
December 31,
2022.
In
addition,
although
the
Fund’s
performance
was
below
the
performance
of
its
blended
benchmark
for
the
five-year
period
ended
March
31,
2023
and
the
Fund
ranked
in
the
fourth
quartile
of
its
Performance
Peer
Group
for
the
three-
and
five-year
periods
ended
March
31,
2023,
the
Fund
outperformed
its
blended
benchmark
for
the
one-
and
three-year
periods
ended
March
31,
2023
and
ranked
in
the
second
quartile
of
its
Performance
Peer
Group
for
the
one-year
period
ended
March
31,
2023.
In
its
review,
the
Board
recognized
that
the
Performance
Peer
Group
was
classified
as
low
for
relevancy.
On
the
basis
of
the
Board’s
ongoing
review
of
investment
performance
and
all
relevant
factors,
including
the
relative
market
conditions
during
certain
reporting
periods,
the
Fund’s
investment
objective(s)
and
management’s
discussion
of
performance,
the
Board
concluded
that
in
light
of
these
factors,
the
Fund’s
performance
supported
renewal
of
the
Advisory
Agreements.
For
Nuveen
Real
Estate
Securities
Fund
(the
“Real
Estate
Securities
Fund”),
the
Board
noted
that
the
Fund’s
performance
was
below
the
performance
of
its
blended
benchmark
for
the
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
ended
December 31,
2022
and
March
31,
2023.
The
Fund,
however,
ranked
in
the
first
quartile
of
its
Performance
Peer
Group
for
the
one-year
period
ended
December
31,
2022
and
third
quartile
for
the
three-
and
five-year
periods
ended
December
31,
2022.
Further,
the
Fund
ranked
in
the
second
quartile
of
its
Performance
Peer
Group
for
the
one-
and
three-year
periods
ended
March
31,
2023
and
third
quartile
for
the
five-year
period
ended
March
31,
2023.
On
the
basis
of
the
Board’s
ongoing
review
of
investment
performance
and
all
relevant
factors,
including
the
relative
market
conditions
during
certain
reporting
periods,
the
Fund’s
investment
objective(s)
and
management’s
discussion

C.
Fees,
Expenses
and
Profitability
1.
Fees
and
Expenses
As
part
of
its
annual
review,
the
Board
generally
reviewed,
among
other
things,
with
respect
to
the
Nuveen
open-end
funds,
the
contractual
management
fee
and
net
management
fee
(i.e.,
the
management
fee
after
taking
into
consideration
fee
waivers
and/or
expense
reimbursements,
if
any)
paid
by
a
fund
to
the
Adviser
in
light
of
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
services
provided.
The
Board
also
considered
the
total
operating
expense
ratio
of
a
fund
(after
any
fee
waivers
and/or
expense
reimbursements).
More
specifically,
the
Independent
Board
Members
reviewed,
among
other
things,
each
Nuveen
open-end
fund’s
gross
and
net
management
fee
rates
(i.e.,
before
and
after
fee
waivers
and/or
expense
reimbursements,
if
any)
and
net
total
expense
ratio
in
relation
to
those
of
a
comparable
universe
of
funds
(the
“Peer
Universe”)
and
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
(as
applicable)
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
Nuveen
fund
with
a
net
total
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
total
expense
ratio.
Accordingly,
in
reviewing
the
comparative
data
between
a
fund
and
its
peers,
the
Board
generally
considered
the
fund’s
net
total
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
Nuveen
fund’s
management
fee
and
net
total
expense
ratio
in
light
of
its
performance
history,
including
reviewing
certain
funds
identified
by
the
Adviser
and/or
the
Board
as
having
a
higher
net
total
expense
ratio
or
management
fee
compared
to
their
respective
peers
coupled
with
experiencing
periods
of
challenged
performance
and
considering
the
reasons
for
such
comparative
positions.
78
Annual
Investment
Management
Agreement
Approval
Process
(Unaudited)
(continued)
In
addition,
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
$62.4 million
and
fund-level
breakpoints
reduced
fees
by
approximately
$76.1 million
in
2022.
Further,
fee
caps
and
waivers
for
all
applicable
Nuveen
funds
saved
shareholders
approximately
$13.4 million
in
fees
in
2022.
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.
The
Independent
Board
Members
noted
that
(a)
the
Global
Infrastructure
Fund
and
the
Real
Asset
Income
Fund
each
had
a
net
management
fee
that
was
in
line
with
the
respective
peer
average
and
a
net
total
expense
ratio
that
was
below
the
respective
peer
average;
and
(b)
the
Global
Real
Estate
Securities
Fund
and
the
Real
Estate
Securities
Fund
each
had
a
net
management
fee
and
a
net
total
expense
ratio
that
were
below
the
respective
peer
averages.
Based
on
its
review
of
the
information
provided,
the
Board
determined
that
each
Fund’s
management
fees
(as
applicable)
to
a
Fund
Adviser
were
reasonable
in
light
of
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
to
the
Fund.
2.
Comparisons
with
the
Fees
of
Other
Clients
In
evaluating
the
appropriateness
of
fees,
the
Board
also
considered
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
sub-advised
by
the
Sub-Adviser;
hedge
funds
or
other
structured
products
managed
by
the
Sub-Adviser;
investment
companies
offered
outside
the
Nuveen
family
and
sub-advised
by
the
Sub-
Adviser;
foreign
investment
companies
offered
by
Nuveen
and
sub-advised
by
the
Sub-Adviser;
and
collective
investment
trusts
sub-advised
by
the
Sub-Adviser.
The
Board
further
noted
that
the
Adviser
also
advised,
and
the
Sub-Adviser
sub-advised,
certain
exchange-traded
funds
(“ETFs”)
sponsored
by
Nuveen.
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
sub-advised
by
the
Sub-Adviser,
the
hedge
funds
advised
by
the
Sub-Adviser
(along
with
their
performance
fee)
and
non-Nuveen
investment
companies
sub-advised
by
certain
affiliated
sub-advisers.
In
considering
the
comparative
fee
data,
the
Board
recognized
that
differences,
including
but
not
limited
to,
the
amount,
type
and
level
of
services
provided
by
the
Adviser
to
the
Nuveen
funds
compared
to
that
provided
to
other
clients
as
well
as
differences
in
investment
policies;
eligible
portfolio
assets
and
the
manner
of
managing
such
assets;
product
structure;
investor
profiles;
account
sizes;
and
regulatory
requirements
contribute
to
the
variations
in
the
fee
schedules.
Similarly,
differences
in
the
client
base,
governing
bodies,
distribution
jurisdiction
and
operational
complexities
would
also
contribute
to
variations
in
management
fees
assessed
the
Nuveen
funds
compared
to
foreign
fund
clients.
Further,
with
respect
to
ETFs,
the
Board
considered
that
the
Nuveen
ETFs
that
are
designed
to
track
the
performance
of
a
specified
index
(“Index
ETFs”)
were
passively
managed
compared
to
the
active
management
of
other
Nuveen
funds,
which
also
contributed
to
the
differences
in
fee
levels
between
such
Index
ETFs
and
the
actively
managed
funds.
The
Board
acknowledged
the
wide
range
of
services
in
addition
to
investment
management
that
the
Adviser
had
provided
to
the
Nuveen
funds
compared
to
other
types
of
clients
as
well
as
the
increased
entrepreneurial,
legal
and
regulatory
risks
that
the
Adviser
incurs
in
sponsoring
and
managing
the
Nuveen
funds.
In
general,
higher
fee
levels
reflect
higher
levels
of
service
provided
by
the
Adviser,
increased
investment
management
complexity,
greater
product
management
requirements,
and
higher
levels
of
business
risk
or
some
combination
of
these
factors.
The
Board
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
more
extensive
services,
regulatory
requirements
and
legal
liabilities,
and
the
entrepreneurial,
legal
and
regulatory
risks
incurred
in
sponsoring
and
advising
a
registered
investment
company
compared
to
that
required
in
advising
other
types
of
clients.
3.
Profitability
of
Fund
Advisers
In
their
review,
the
Independent
Board
Members
considered
estimated
profitability
information
of
Nuveen
as
a
result
of
its
advisory
services
to
the
Nuveen
funds
as
well
as
profitability
data
of
other
publicly
traded
asset
management
firms.
Such
profitability
information
included,
among
other
things,
gross
and
net
revenue
margins
(excluding
distribution)
of
Nuveen
Investments,
Inc.
(“Nuveen
Investments”)
for
services
to
the
Nuveen
funds
on
a
pre-tax
and
after-tax
basis
for
the
2022
and
2021
calendar
years
as
well
as
the
revenues
earned
(less
any
expense
reimbursements/fee
waivers)
and
expenses
incurred
by
Nuveen
Investments
for
its
advisory
activities
to
the
Nuveen
funds
(excluding
distribution
and
certain
other
expenses)
for
the
2022
and
2021
calendar
years.
The
Independent
Board
Members
also
considered
a
summary
of
some
of
the
key
factors
that
impacted
Nuveen’s
profitability
in
2022.
In
addition,
the
Board
reviewed
the
revenues,
expenses
and
operating
margin
(pre-
and
after-tax)
the
Adviser
derived
from
its
ETF
product
line
for
the
2022
and
2021
calendar
years.

In
developing
the
profitability
data
of
the
Adviser
for
its
advisory
services
to
the
Nuveen
funds,
the
Independent
Board
Members
recognized
the
subjective
nature
of
calculating
profitability
as
the
information
is
not
audited
and
is
necessarily
dependent
on
cost
allocation
methodologies
to
allocate
expenses
throughout
the
complex
and
among
the
various
advisory
products.
Given
there
is
no
perfect
expense
allocation
methodology
and
that
other
reasonable
and
valid
allocation
methodologies
could
be
employed
and
could
lead
to
significantly
different
results,
the
Board
reviewed,
among
other
things,
a
description
of
the
cost
allocation
methodologies
employed
to
develop
the
financial
information,
a
summary
of
the
history
of
changes
to
the
methodology
over
the
years
from
2010
through
2022,
and
a
historical
expense
analysis
of
Nuveen
Investments’
revenues,
expenses
and
pre-tax
net
revenue
margins
derived
from
its
advisory
services
to
the
Nuveen
funds
(excluding
distribution)
for
the
calendar
years
from
2017
through
2022.
The
Board
had
also
appointed
four
Independent
Board
Members
to
serve
as
the
Board’s
liaisons,
with
the
assistance
of
independent
counsel,
to
meet
with
representatives
of
the
Adviser
and
review
the
development
of
the
profitability
data
and
to
report
to
the
full
Board.
In
addition,
the
Board
considered
certain
comparative
operating
margin
data.
In
this
regard,
the
Board
reviewed
the
operating
margins
of
Nuveen
Investments
compared
to
the
adjusted
operating
margins
of
a
peer
group
of
asset
management
firms
with
publicly
available
data
and
the
most
comparable
assets
under
management
(based
on
asset
size
and
asset
composition)
to
Nuveen.
The
Board
recognized
that
the
operating
margins
of
the
peers
were
adjusted
generally
to
address
that
certain
services
provided
by
the
peers
were
not
provided
by
Nuveen.
The
Board
also
reviewed,
among
other
things,
the
net
revenue
margins
(pre-tax)
of
Nuveen
Investments
on
a
company-wide
basis
and
the
net
revenue
margins
(pre-tax)
of
Nuveen
Investments
derived
from
its
services
to
the
Nuveen
funds
only
(including
and
excluding
distribution)
compared
to
the
adjusted
operating
margins
of
the
peer
group
for
each
calendar
year
from
2012
to
2022.
Although
the
total
company
operating
margins
of
Nuveen
Investments
were
in
the
bottom
half
of
the
peer
group
range
for
2022
and
2021,
the
Independent
Board
Members
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
2022
and
2021
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
respective
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
after-tax)
for
its
advisory
activities
to
the
respective
Nuveen
funds
for
the
calendar
years
ended
December 31,
2022
and
December
31,
2021.
The
Independent
Board
Members
also
reviewed
a
profitability
analysis
reflecting
the
revenues,
expenses
and
revenue
margin
(pre-
and
after-tax)
by
asset
type
for
the
Sub-Adviser
for
the
calendar
years
ending
December 31,
2022
and
December
31,
2021.
In
evaluating
the
reasonableness
of
the
compensation,
the
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,
whether
these
economies
of
scale
have
been
appropriately
shared
with
the
funds
and
whether
there
is
potential
for
realization
of
further
economies
of
scale.
Although
the
Board
recognized
that
economies
of
scale
are
difficult
to
measure
with
any
precision
and
certain
expenses
may
not
decline
with
a
rise
in
assets,
the
Board
considered
that
Nuveen
shares
the
benefits
of
economies
of
scale,
if
any,
in
a
number
of
ways
including
through
the
use
of
breakpoints
in
the
management
fee
schedule,
fee
waivers
and/or
expense
limitations,
the
pricing
of
funds
at
scale
at
inception
and
investments
in
Nuveen’s
business
which
can
enhance
the
services
provided
to
the
funds
for
the
fees
paid.
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.
With
this
structure,
the
Board
noted
that
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,
and
the
fund-level
breakpoint
schedules
are
designed
to
share
economies
of
scale
with
shareholders
if
the
particular
fund
grows.
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
2022
and
2021),
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
to
enhance
its
capabilities
and
services
to
the
benefit
of
its
various
clients.
The
Board
understood
that
many
of
these
investments
in
the
Nuveen
business
were
not
specific
to
individual
Nuveen
funds
but
rather
incurred
across
of
a
variety
of
products
and
services
pursuant
to
which
the
family
of
Nuveen
funds
as
a
whole
80
Annual
Investment
Management
Agreement
Approval
Process
(Unaudited)
(continued)
may
benefit.
In
addition,
the
Board
also
considered
that
Nuveen
has
provided,
without
raising
advisory
fees
to
the
Nuveen
funds,
certain
additional
services,
including,
but
not
limited
to,
services
required
by
new
regulations
and
regulatory
interpretations,
and
this
was
also
a
means
of
sharing
economies
of
scale
with
the
funds
and
their
shareholders.
Based
on
its
review,
the
Board
was
satisfied
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
for
which
it
may
be
compensated.
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
noted
that
the
various
sub-advisers
to
the
Nuveen
funds
do
not
generally
benefit
from
soft
dollar
arrangements
with
respect
to
Nuveen
fund
portfolio
transactions.
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
in
light
of
the
services
provided.
F.
Other
Considerations
The
Independent
Board
Members
did
not
identify
any
single
factor
discussed
previously
as
all-important
or
controlling.
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
for
an
additional
one-year
period.
