Semi-Annual Report
IMPORTANT DISTRIBUTION NOTICE
for Shareholders of the Nuveen Real Estate Income Fund (JRS)
Semi-Annual Shareholder Report for the period ending June 30, 2025
The Nuveen Real Estate Income Fund (JRS) seek to offer attractive cash flow to its shareholders, by converting the expected long-term total return potential of the Fund’s investments in REITs into regular quarterly distributions. Following is a discussion of the Managed Distribution Policy the Fund uses to achieve this.
The Fund pays quarterly common share distributions that seek to convert the Fund’s expected long-term total return potential into regular cash flow. As a result, the Fund’s regular common share distributions (presently $0.1700 per share) may be derived from a variety of sources, including:
| • | distributions from portfolio companies (REITs), |
| • | realized capital gains or, |
| • | Possibly, returns of capital representing in certain cases unrealized capital appreciation. |
Such distributions are sometimes referred to as “managed distributions.” The Fund seeks to establish a distribution rate that roughly corresponds to the Adviser’s projections of the total return that could reasonably be expected to be generated by the Fund over an extended period of time. The Adviser may consider many factors when making such projections, including, but not limited to, long- term historical returns for the asset classes in which the Fund invests. As portfolio and market conditions change, the distribution amount and distribution rate on the Common Shares under the Fund’s Managed Distribution Policy could change.
When it pays a distribution, the Fund provides holders of its Common Shares a notice of the estimated sources of the Fund’s distributions (i.e., what percentage of the distributions is estimated to constitute ordinary income, short-term capital gains, long- term capital gains, and/or a non-taxable return of capital) on a year-to-date basis. It does this by posting the notice on its website (www.nuveen.com/cef), and by sending it in written form.
You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund’s Managed Distribution Policy. The Fund’s actual financial performance will likely vary from month-to-month and from year-to-year, and there may be extended periods when the distribution rate will exceed the Fund’s actual total returns. The Managed Distribution Policy provides that the Board may amend or terminate the Policy at any time without prior notice to Fund shareholders. There are presently no reasonably foreseeable circumstances that might cause the Fund to terminate its Managed Distribution Policy.

NMAI and JRI DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION
The following information regarding the distributions for NMAI and JRI are as of June 30, 2025, and likely will vary over time based on the Fund’s investment activities and portfolio investment value changes.
Each Fund’s distribution policy, which may be changed by the Board, is to make regular monthly cash distributions to holders of its common shares (stated in terms of a fixed cents per common share dividend distribution rate which may be set from time to time). Each Fund intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net investment income each year through its regular monthly distribution and to distribute realized capital gains at least annually. In addition, in any monthly period, to maintain its declared per common share distribution amount, Each Fund may distribute more or less than its net investment income during the period. In the event a Fund distributes more than its net investment income during any yearly period, such distributions may also include realized gains and/or a return of capital. To the extent that a distribution includes a return of capital the NAV per share may erode. The practice of maintaining a stable distribution level had no material effect on the Fund’s investment strategy during the most recent fiscal period and is not expected to have such an effect in future periods, however, distributions in excess of Fund returns will cause its NAV per share to erode. For additional information, refer to the distribution information section below and in the Notes to Financial Statements herein.
Actual amounts and sources for tax reporting purposes will be determined as of each Fund’s fiscal year-end and reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV.
Because distribution source estimates are updated throughout the current fiscal year based on a Fund’s performance, these estimates may differ from both the tax information reported to you in the Fund’s 1099 statement, as well as the ultimate economic sources of distributions over the life of your investment.
The figures in the table below provide an estimate of the sources of distributions and may include amounts attributed to realized gains and/or returns of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” The Funds attribute these estimates equally to each regular distribution throughout the year. Consequently, the estimated information shown below is for the current distribution, and also represents an updated estimate for all prior months in the fiscal year. These estimates should not be used for tax reporting purposes. The final determination for all distributions paid in 2025 will be made in early 2026 and reported to you on Form 1099-DIV. More details about the Fund’s distributions and the basis for these estimates are available on www.nuveen.com/en-us/closed-end-funds.

JRS DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION
The following 19(a) Notice presents JRS’s most current distribution information as of May 31, 2025 as required by certain exempted regulatory relief the Fund has received.
Because the ultimate tax character of your distributions depends on the Fund’s performance for its entire fiscal year (which is the calendar year for the Fund) as well as certain fiscal year-end (FYE) tax adjustments, estimated distribution source information you receive with each distribution may differ from the tax information reported to you on your Fund’s IRS Form 1099 statement.
JRS makes regular cash distributions to shareholders of a stated dollar amount per share. Subject to approval and oversight by the Board of Trustees, the Fund seeks to maintain a stable distribution level designed to deliver the long-term return potential of the Fund’s investment strategy through regular distributions (a “Managed Distribution Program”). The practice of maintaining a stable

Common Share Information (continued)
distribution level had no material effect on the Fund’s investment strategy during the most recent fiscal period and is not expected to have such an effect in future periods, however, distributions in excess of Fund returns will cause its NAV per share to erode. For additional information, refer to the distribution information section below and in the Notes to Financial Statements herein.
DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION - AS OF May 31, 2025
This notice provides shareholders with information regarding fund distributions, as required by current securities laws. You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund’s Managed Distribution Policy.
The following table provides estimates of the Fund’s distribution sources, reflecting year-to-date cumulative experience through the month-end prior to the latest distribution. The Fund attributes these estimates equally to each regular distribution throughout the year. Consequently, the estimated information as of the specified month-end shown below is for the current distribution, and also represents an updated estimate for all prior months in the year. It is estimated that the Fund has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of the distributions may be (and is shown below as being estimated to be) a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.”
The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this notice are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. More details about the Fund’s distributions and the basis for these estimates are available on www.nuveen.com/cef.

Fund Performance, Leverage and Holdings Summaries
The Fund Performance, Leverage and Holding Summaries for each Fund are shown below within this section of the report.
Fund Performance
Performance data for each Fund shown below represents past performance and does not predict or guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the data shown. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the sale of Fund shares. Returns at NAV are net of Fund expenses, and assume reinvestment of distributions. Comparative index return information is provided for the Fund’s shares at NAV only. Indexes are not available for direct investment.
Total returns for a period of less than one year are not annualized (i.e. cumulative returns). Since inception returns are shown for share classes that have less than 10-years of performance. For performance, current to the most recent month-end visit Nuveen.com or call (800) 257-8787.
Impact of Leverage
One important factor impacting the returns of the Funds’ common shares relative to their comparative benchmarks was the Funds’ use of leverage through bank borrowings and reverse repurchase agreements. The Funds use leverage because our research has shown that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for additional income. The opportunity arises when short-term rates that a Fund pays on its leveraging instruments are lower than the interest the Fund earns on its portfolio of long-term bonds that it has bought with the proceeds of that leverage.
However, use of leverage can expose Fund common shares to additional price volatility. When a Fund uses leverage, the Fund’s common shares will experience a greater increase in their net asset value if the securities acquired through the use of leverage increase in value, but will also experience a correspondingly larger decline in their net asset value if the securities acquired through leverage decline in value. All this will make the shares’ total return performance more variable over time.
In addition, common share income in levered funds will typically decrease in comparison to unlevered funds when short-term interest rates increase and increase when short-term interest rates decrease. In recent quarters, fund leverage expenses have generally tracked the overall movement of short-term interest rates. While fund leverage expenses are higher than their prior year lows, leverage nevertheless continues to provide the opportunity for incremental common share income, particularly over longer- term periods.
Leverage Ratios
Each Fund’s Effective Leverage and Regulatory Leverage Ratios are set forth below. “Effective Leverage” is a Fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage and the leverage effects of certain derivative and other investments in a Fund’s portfolio that increase the Fund’s investment exposure. “Regulatory Leverage” consists of preferred shares or borrowings of a Fund. Regulatory Leverage is a part of a Fund’s capital structure. Regulatory leverage is subject to asset coverage limits set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940. A Fund, however, may from time to time borrow for temporary purposes, typically on a transient basis in connection with its day-to-day operations, primarily in connection with the need to settle portfolio trades. Such temporary borrowings are excluded from the calculation of a Fund’s Effective Leverage and Regulatory Leverage ratios.
Holding Summaries
The Holdings Summaries data relates to the securities held in each Fund’s portfolio of investments as of the end of this reporting period. It should not be construed as a measure of performance for the Fund itself. Holdings are subject to change. Refer to the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments for individual security information.
For financial reporting purposes NMAI uses credit quality ratings for its portfolio securities provided by Standard & Poor’s Group, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch, Inc. If all three provide a rating for a security, the middle is used; if two of the three agencies rate a security, the lower rating is used; and if only one rating agency rates a security, that rating is used. This treatment of split-rated securities may differ from that used for other purposes, such as for Fund investment policies. Credit ratings are subject to change. AAA, AA, A and BBB are investment grade ratings; BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D are below-investment grade ratings. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by these national rating agencies.
9
Fund Performance, Leverage and Holdings Summaries (continued)
For financial reporting purposes JRI and JRS use the highest rating given by one of the following national rating agencies: Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Fitch, Inc. This treatment of split-rated securities may differ from that used for other purposes, such as for Fund investment policies. Credit ratings are subject to change. AAA, AA, A and BBB are investment grade ratings; BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D are below investment grade ratings. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by these national rating agencies.

* For purposes of Fund performance, relative results are measured against the NMAI Blended Benchmark. The Fund’s Blended Benchmark consists of: 1) 50% MSCI ACWI Index (Net), 2) 35% Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, and 3) 15% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Previously, the NMAI Blended Benchmark (old) consisted of: 1) 50% MSCI ACWI Index (Net) and 2) 50% Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index. The Fund’s investment adviser believes the new NMAI Blended Benchmark better reflects the securities in which the Fund primarily invests as well as the principal investment strategies employed by the Fund.

| (a) | Based on average shares outstanding. |
| (b) | Total Return Based on Common Share NAV is the combination of changes in common share NAV, reinvested distributions at Common Share NAV, if any. The last distribution declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending NAV. The actual reinvest price for the last distribution declared in the period may often be based on the Fund’s market price (and not its NAV), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized. |
Total Return Based on Common Share Price is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last distribution declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last distribution declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

For JRS, the Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with Security Capital Research & Management Incorporated (“Security Capital”), under which Security Capital manages JRS’s investment portfolio. The Adviser is responsible for managing the Funds’ investments in swap contracts. NAM, TAL, Winslow and Security Capital are each a “Sub-Adviser”.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require the use of estimates made by management and the evaluation of subsequent events. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The net asset value (“NAV”) for financial reporting purposes may differ from the NAV for processing security and shareholder transactions. The NAV for financial reporting purposes includes security and shareholder transactions through the date of the report. Total return is computed based on the NAV used for processing security and shareholder transactions. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds.
Compensation: The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen-advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen-advised funds.
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.
NMAI and JRI make monthly cash distributions, while JRS makes quarterly cash distributions to common shareholders of a stated dollar amount per share. Prior to the June 2025 distribution, NMAI made quarterly cash distribution. Subject to approval and oversight by the Board, JRS seeks to maintain a stable distribution level designed to deliver the long-term return potential of each Fund’s investment strategy through regular quarterly distributions (a “Managed Distribution Program”). Total distributions during a calendar year generally will be made from each Fund’s net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized capital gains in the Fund’s portfolio, if any. The portion of distributions paid attributed to net unrealized gains, if any, is distributed from the Fund’s assets and is treated by common shareholders as a non-taxable distribution (“return of capital”) for tax purposes. In the event that total distributions during a calendar year exceed a Fund’s total return on NAV, the difference will reduce NAV per share. If a Fund’s total return on NAV exceeds total distributions during a calendar year, the excess will be reflected as an increase in NAV per share. The final determination of the source and character of all distributions paid by a Fund during the fiscal year is made after the end of the fiscal year and is reflected in the financial statements contained in the annual report as of December 31 each year.
The distribution policy for NMAI and JRI, which may be changed by the Board, is to make regular monthly cash distributions to holders of its common shares (stated in terms of a fixed cents per common share dividend distribution rate which may be set from time to time). Each Fund intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net investment income each year through its regular monthly distribution and to distribute realized capital gains at least annually. In addition, in any monthly period, to maintain its declared per common share distribution amount, Each Fund may distribute more or less than its net investment income during the period. In the event a Fund distributes more than its net investment income during
77
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
any yearly period, such distributions may also include realized gains and/or a return of capital. To the extent that a distribution includes a return of capital the NAV per share may erode. The practice of maintaining a stable distribution level had no material effect on each Fund’s investment strategy during the most recent fiscal period and is not expected to have such an effect in future periods, however, distributions in excess of Fund returns will cause its NAV per share to erode.
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 a Fund’s portfolio. Distributions received from certain securities in which a Fund invests, most notably real estate investment trust 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 a Fund’s ordinary income until such time a Fund is notified by the issuer of the actual tax character. 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 for distributions during prior calendar year end.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation: To the extent that the Funds invest in securities and/or contracts that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Funds will be subject to currency risk, which is the risk that an increase in the U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currency will reduce returns or portfolio value. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Funds’ investments denominated in that currency will lose value because their currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. dollar falls in relative value. Investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars on a spot (i.e. cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market at the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and income denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.
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 foreign currency transactions” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.
The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in foreign exchange rates associated with
(i) investments and (ii) other assets and liabilities are recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of foreign currency translations” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates associated with investments in derivatives are recognized as a component of the respective derivative’s related “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.

Foreign Taxes: The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or foreign currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon the current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which the Funds invest.
Indemnifications: Under the Funds’ organizational documents, their officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Investments and Investment Income: Securities transactions are accounted for as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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 certain foreign securities, when information is available. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date and recorded at fair value. Interest income, is recorded on an accrual basis 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. Amendment fees are earned as compensation for evaluating and accepting changes to an original senior loan agreement and are recognized when received. Rehypothecation income when applicable, is comprised of fees earned in connection with the rehypothecation of pledged collateral as further described later in these Notes to Financial Statements
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.
Segment Reporting: Each Fund represents a single operating segment. The officers of the Funds act as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM monitors the operating results of each Fund as a whole and is responsible for each Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Fund’s portfolio managers as a team. The financial information in the form of the Fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions), which are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus the Fund’s comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for the Fund’s single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Fund’s financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “total assets” and significant segment revenues and expenses are listed on the Statement of Operations.
New Accounting Pronouncement: In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income tax disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The primary purpose of the amendments within ASU 2023-09 is to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation table and income taxes paid information. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Management is currently evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.

3. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
The Funds’ investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value utilizing valuation methods approved by the Adviser, subject to oversight of the Board. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. U.S. GAAP establishes the three-tier hierarchy which is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect management’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit spreads, etc.).
Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major classifications of assets and liabilities measured at fair value follows:
Equity securities and exchange-traded funds listed or traded on a national market or exchange are valued based on their last reported sales price or official closing price of such market or exchange on the valuation date. Foreign equity securities and registered investment companies that trade on a foreign exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on the principal exchange where traded, and converted to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange on the valuation date. For events affecting the value of foreign securities between the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time when the Funds’ net assets are calculated, such securities will be valued at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Adviser, subject to the oversight of the Board. To the extent these securities are actively traded and no valuation adjustments are applied, they are generally classified as Level 1. When valuation adjustments are applied to the most recent last sales price or official closing price, these securities are generally classified as Level 2.
Prices of 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.
Forward foreign currency contracts are valued using the prevailing forward exchange rate which is derived from quotes provided by the pricing service using the procedures approved by the Adviser, subject to the oversight of the Board, and 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.
Swap contracts are marked-to-market daily based upon a price supplied by a pricing service. Swaps are generally classified as Level 2.
Purchased and written options traded and listed on a national market or exchange are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices 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:

4. Portfolio Securities
Unfunded Commitments: Pursuant to the terms of certain of the variable rate senior loan agreements, NMAI and JRI 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, JRI had no value in outstanding unfunded senior loan commitments, whereas NMAI’s outstanding unfunded senior loan commitments were as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Participation Commitments: With respect to the senior loans held in NMAI and JRI portfolio, the Funds may: 1) invest in assignments; 2) act as a participant in primary lending syndicates; or 3) invest in participations. If the Funds purchases a participation of a senior loan interest, the Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds 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.

Zero Coupon Securities: A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
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. 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. Investments in derivatives as of the end of and/or during the current fiscal period, if any, are included within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations, respectively.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: During the current fiscal period, NMAI used foreign exchange forwards partially hedge its exposure to non-U.S. dollar denominated positions.
A forward contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified quantity of a currency at or before a specified date in the future at a specified price. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency. Forward contracts are typically traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets and all details of the contract are negotiated between the counterparties to the agreement. Forward contracts are marked-to-market daily and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are reflected as appreciation or depreciation on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds realizes gains and losses at the time the forward contracts are closed and are included on the Statement of Operations. Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar; and that losses may exceed amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The average notional amount of forward foreign currency contracts outstanding during the current fiscal period was as follows:

Futures Contracts: During the current fiscal period, JRI continued to use 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. When the contract is closed or expired, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract on the closing date and value of the contract when originally entered into. The net realized gain or loss and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations.
Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement in the price of the securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that there may not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts and/or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with a change in the value of the underlying securities or indices.
The average notional amount of futures contracts outstanding during the current fiscal period was as follows:
| Fund | Average Notional Amount of Futures Contracts Outstanding* |
|||
|
|
||||
| JRI |
$9,464,825 | |||
|
|
||||
| * | The average notional amount is calculated based on the absolute aggregate notional amount of contracts outstanding at the beginning of the current fiscal period and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal period. |
Options Transactions: The Funds may purchase (buy) or write (sell) put and call options on specific securities (including groups or “baskets” of specific securities), interest rates, stock indices and/or bond indices (each a “financial instrument”). Options can be settled either directly with the counterparty (over the counter) or through a central clearing house (exchange traded). Call and put options give the holder the right, in return for a premium paid, to purchase or sell, respectively, a financial instrument at a specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option.
When a Fund purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (the premium plus commission) is recognized as an asset on the Statement of Asset and Liabilities. When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recognized as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current value of the written option until the option is exercised or expires or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction. The changes in the value of options purchased and/or written during the fiscal period are recognized as in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statement of Operations. When an option expires, the premiums received or paid are recognized as realized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised or a closing purchase transaction is entered into, the difference between the premium and the amount received or paid in a closing transaction is recognized as a realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations.
The market risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium paid. The Fund, as writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying instrument may be sold (called) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the instrument underlying the written option. There is also the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
During the current fiscal period, NMAI purchased and wrote call and put options as part of its overwrite strategy.
The average notional amount of outstanding options purchased during the current fiscal period, was as follows:

Interest Rate Swap Contracts: During the current fiscal period, JRI and JRS continued to use interest rate swap contracts to partially hedge its interest cost of leverage, which the Funds employed through the use if bank borrowings.
Interest rate swap contracts involve the Fund’s agreement with the counterparty to pay or receive a fixed rate payment in exchange for the counterparty receiving or paying a variable rate payment. Forward interest rate swap contracts involve the Fund’s agreement with a counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or variable rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable or fixed rate payment, the accruals for which would begin at a specified date in the future (the “effective date”).
Upon entering into an interest rate swap contract (and beginning on the effective date for a forward interest rate swap contract), the Fund accrues the fixed rate payment expected to be paid or received and the variable rate payment expected to be received or paid on the interest rate swap contracts on a daily basis, and recognizes the daily change in the fair value of the Fund’s contractual rights and obligations under the contracts. The amount of the payment obligation for an interest rate swap is based on the notional amount and the termination date of the contract. Interest rate swap contracts do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss on such transactions is limited to the net amount of interest payments that the Fund is to receive from the counterparty. Payments paid (received) at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as swap premiums paid (received) on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable. Interest rate swaps can be settled either directly with the counterparty (“OTC”) or through a central clearinghouse (“centrally cleared”). For OTC swaps, the daily change in the market value of the swap contract, along with any daily interest fees accrued, are recognized as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on interest rate swaps contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Upon the execution of a centrally cleared swap, a Fund is obligated to deposit cash or eligible securities, also known as “initial margin,” into an account at its clearing broker equal to a specified percentage of the contract amount. 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. The Fund and the clearing broker are obligated to settle monies on a daily basis representing the changes in the value of the swap 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 interest rate swaps contracts.
Changes in the value of the swap contracts during the fiscal period are recognized as net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of swaps contracts on the Statement of Operations. The net amount of periodic payments settled in cash are recognized as net realized gain (loss) from swaps on the Statement of Operations, in addition to the net realized gain or loss recorded upon the termination of the swap contract.
The average notional amount of interest rate swap contracts outstanding during the current fiscal period 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.

7. 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.
As of the end of the reporting period, the aggregate cost and the net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of all investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

8. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees: Each Fund’s management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Sub-Advisers are compensated for their services to the Fund from the management fees paid to the advisor.
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 Fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated according to the following schedule:
| Average Daily Managed Assets* | NMAI Fund-Level Fee Rate |
JRI Fund-Level Fee Rate |
JRS Fund-Level Fee Rate |
|||||||||
| For the first $500 million |
0.7000 | % | 0.8000 | % | 0.7000 | % | ||||||

| For managed assets over $2 billion |
0.6000 | 0.7000 | 0.6000 | |||||||||
| 86 |
The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated according to the following schedule:
| Complex-Level Asset Breakpoint Level* | Complex-Level Fee | |||
| For the first $124.3 billion |
0.1600 | % | ||
| For the next $75.7 billion |
0.1350 | |||
| For the next $200 billion |
0.1325 | |||
| For eligible assets over $400 billion |
0.1300 | |||
| * | The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily “eligible assets” of all Nuveen-branded closed-end funds and Nuveen branded open-end funds (“Nuveen Mutual Funds”). Except as described below, eligible assets include the assets of all Nuveen-branded closed-end funds and Nuveen Mutual Funds organized in the United States. Eligible assets do not include the net assets of: Nuveen fund-of-funds, Nuveen money market funds, Nuveen index funds, Nuveen Large Cap Responsible Equity Fund or Nuveen Life Large Cap Responsible Equity Fund. In addition, eligible assets include a fixed percentage of the aggregate net assets of the active equity and fixed income Nuveen Mutual Funds advised by the Adviser’s affiliate, Teachers Advisors, LLC (except those identified above). The fixed percentage will increase annually until May 1, 2033, at which time eligible assets will include all of the aggregate net assets of the active equity and fixed income Nuveen Mutual Funds advised by Teachers Advisors, LLC (except those identified above). Eligible assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes, financial 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 the end of the reporting period, the annual complex-level fee for each Fund was as follows:
| Fund | Complex-Level Fee | |||
| NMAI |
0.1569 | % | ||
| JRI |
0.1569 | |||
| JRS |
0.1569 | |||
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 “Affiliated income” on the Statement of Operations and any amounts due to the Funds at the end of the reporting period is recognized in “Reimbursement from Adviser” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the current fiscal period, the values of voluntary compensation were as follows:
| Fund | Value | |||
| NMAI |
$37,722 | |||
| JRI |
204,594 | |||
| JRS |
— | |||
The Funds are permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other funds or accounts managed by the Sub-Adviser or by an affiliate of the Adviser (each an, “Affiliated Entity”) under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board (“cross-trade”). These procedures have been designed to ensure that any cross-trade of securities by the Fund from or to an Affiliated Entity by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment adviser), common officer and/or common trustee complies with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. These transactions are effected at the current market price (as provided by an independent pricing service) without incurring broker commissions. During the current fiscal period, the Funds engaged in the following security transactions with affiliated entities:

| JRI |
170,945,000 | |||
| JRS |
102,400,000 | |||
|
|
||||
For NMAI interest is charged on the Borrowings at a rate per annum equal to OBFR (Overnight Bank Funding Rate) plus a spread that is determined by a portion of the underlying collateral pledged to secure the amount borrowed. The Fund is charged an undrawn fee of 0.50% per annum if the undrawn portion of the Borrowings on that day is more than 20% of the maximum commitment amount, however this fee was waived during the reporting period.
For JRI interest is charged on these Borrowings at Daily SOFR plus 0.600% per annum on the amounts borrowed. For JRS interest is charged on these Borrowings at 1-Month Term SOFR plus 0.610% per annum on the amounts borrowed.
During the current fiscal period, the average daily balance outstanding and average annual interest rate on each Fund’s Borrowings were as follows:

||||||||||||
Other Borrowings Information for the Funds: In order to maintain these Borrowings, the Funds must meet certain collateral, asset coverage and other requirements. Borrowings outstanding are fully secured by eligible securities held in each Fund’s portfolio of investments.
Borrowings outstanding are recognized as “Borrowings” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Interest expense and other fees incurred on the drawn amount and undrawn balance are recognized as a component of “Interest expense” on the Statement of Operations.
Rehypothecation: NMAI has entered into a Rehypothecation Side Letter (“Side Letter”) with its prime brokerage lender, allowing it to re-register the Pledged Collateral in its own name or in a name other than the Fund to pledge, repledge, hypothecate, rehypothecate, sell, lend or otherwise transfer or use the Pledged Collateral (the “Hypothecated Securities”) with all rights of ownership as described in the Side Letter. Subject to certain conditions, the total value of the outstanding Hypothecated Securities shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 98% of the outstanding balance on the Borrowings to which the Pledged Collateral relates and (ii) 33 1?3 % of the Fund total assets. The Fund may designate any Pledged Collateral as ineligible for rehypothecation. The Fund may also recall Hypothecated Securities on demand.
The Fund also has the right to apply and set-off an amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of the then-current fair market value of such Pledged Collateral against the current Borrowings under the Side Letter in the event that the prime brokerage lender fails to timely return the Pledged Collateral and in certain other circumstances. In such circumstances, however, the Fund may not be able to obtain replacement financing required to purchase replacement securities and, consequently, the Fund income generating potential may decrease. Even if the Fund is able to obtain replacement financing, it might not be able to purchase replacement securities at favorable prices.
The Fund will receive a fee in connection with the Hypothecated Securities (“Rehypothecation Fees”) in addition to any principal, interest, dividends and other distributions paid on the Hypothecated Securities.
As of the end of the reporting period, NMAI had Hypothecated Securities as follows:
| NMAI | ||||
|
|
||||

Reverse Repurchase Agreements: During the current fiscal period, NMAI utilized reverse repurchase agreements as a means of leverage.
Each Fund may enter into a reverse repurchase agreement with brokers, dealers, banks or other financial institutions that have been determined by the Adviser to be creditworthy. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund sells to the counterparty a security that it holds with a contemporaneous agreement to repurchase the same security at an agreed-upon price and date, reflecting the interest rate effective for the term of the agreement. It may also be viewed as the borrowing of money by the Fund. Cash received in exchange for securities delivered, plus accrued interest payments to be made by the Fund to a counterparty, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Interest payments made by the Fund to counterparties are recognized as a component of “Interest expense” on the Statement of Operations.
In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund retains the risk of loss associated with the sold security. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve the risk that the purchaser fails to return the securities as agreed upon, files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of a counterparty, the Fund is considered to be an unsecured creditor with respect to excess collateral and as such the return of excess collateral may be delayed.
As of the end of the reporting period, the Fund’s outstanding balances on its reverse repurchase agreements were as follows:

Inter-Fund Borrowing and Lending: The SEC has granted an exemptive order permitting registered open-end and closed-end Nuveen funds to participate in an inter-fund lending facility whereby the Nuveen funds may directly lend to and borrow money from each other for temporary purposes (e.g., to satisfy redemption requests or when a sale of securities “fails,” resulting in an unanticipated cash shortfall) (the “Inter-Fund Program”). The closed-end Nuveen funds, including the Funds covered by this shareholder report, will participate only as lenders, and not as borrowers, in the Inter-Fund Program because such closed-end funds rarely, if ever, need to borrow cash to meet redemptions. The Inter-Fund Program is subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things, the requirements that (1) no fund may borrow or lend money through the Inter-Fund Program unless it receives a more favorable interest rate than is typically available from a bank or other financial institution for a comparable transaction; (2) no fund may borrow on an unsecured basis through the Inter-Fund Program unless the fund’s outstanding borrowings from all sources immediately after the inter-fund borrowing total 10% or less of its total assets; provided that if the borrowing fund has a secured borrowing outstanding from any other lender, including but not limited to another fund, the inter-fund loan must be secured on at least an equal

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
priority basis with at least an equivalent percentage of collateral to loan value; (3) if a fund’s total outstanding borrowings immediately after an inter-fund borrowing would be greater than 10% of its total assets, the fund may borrow through the inter-fund loan on a secured basis only; (4) no fund may lend money if the loan would cause its aggregate outstanding loans through the Inter-Fund Program to exceed 15% of its net assets at the time of the loan; (5) a fund’s inter-fund loans to any one fund shall not exceed 5% of the lending fund’s net assets; (6) the duration of inter- fund loans will be limited to the time required to receive payment for securities sold, but in no event more than seven days; and (7) each inter-fund loan may be called on one business day’s notice by a lending fund and may be repaid on any day by a borrowing fund. In addition, a Nuveen fund may participate in the Inter-Fund Program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. The Board is responsible for overseeing the Inter-Fund Program.
The limitations detailed above and the other conditions of the SEC exemptive order permitting the Inter-Fund Program are designed to minimize the risks associated with Inter-Fund Program for both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. However, no borrowing or lending activity is without risk. When a fund borrows money from another fund, there is a risk that the loan could be called on one day’s notice or not renewed, in which case the fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher rate or take other actions to payoff such loan if an inter-fund loan is not available from another fund. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.
During the current reporting period, none of the Funds covered by this shareholder report have entered into any inter-fund loan activity.

19(a) Notice: Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires that the payment of any distribution which is made from a source other than the fund’s net income be accompanied by a written notice that discloses the estimated sources of such payment.
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.
Effective Leverage: Effective leverage is a fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage (see below) and the leverage effects of certain derivative investments in the fund’s portfolio.
Leverage: Leverage is created whenever a fund has investment exposure (both reward and/or risk) equivalent to more than 100% of the investment capital.
Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: A fund’s Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash, accrued earnings and receivables) less its total liabilities. NAV per share is equal to the fund’s Net Assets divided by its number of shares outstanding.
Regulatory Leverage: Regulatory leverage consists of preferred shares issued by or borrowings of a fund. Both of these are part of a fund’s capital structure. Regulatory leverage is subject to asset coverage limits set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Nuveen Multi-Asset Income Fund
Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund
Nuveen Real Estate Income Fund
The Approval Process
At meetings held on April 28 and 29, 2025 (the “Meeting”), the Boards of Directors or Trustees (as the case may be) of the group of funds advised by Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (“NFAL” or the “Adviser”), including the Funds (as defined below), and the group of funds advised by Teachers Advisors, LLC (“TAL” and all such funds, collectively, the “Nuveen funds” or the “funds”) approved the renewal of the investment management agreements (each, an “Investment Management Agreement”) with NFAL and TAL, respectively. TAL and NFAL are affiliates as NFAL is a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC, the investment arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”), and TAL is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of TIAA. The Boards of Trustees of the Funds also approved the renewal of the sub-advisory agreements (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with: (i) in the case of Nuveen Multi-Asset Income Fund (the “Multi-Asset Fund”), each of Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“NAM”), TAL and Winslow Capital Management LLC (“Winslow”); (ii) in the case of Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund (the “Real Asset Fund”), NAM; and (iii) in the case of Nuveen Real Estate Income Fund (the “Real Estate Fund”), Security Capital Research & Management Incorporated (“Security Capital” and, each of NAM, TAL, Winslow and Security Capital, a “Sub-Adviser”). NAM, TAL and Winslow are each an affiliate of the Adviser.
The Boards of Directors or Trustees of the Nuveen funds are each a “Board” or collectively the “Board” (as the context may dictate) and the directors or trustees (as the case may be) are each a “Board Member.” The Board Members of each Board are not “interested persons” (as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”)) and, therefore, each Board is deemed to be comprised of all disinterested Board Members. References to a Board and the Board Members are interchangeable.
In accordance with applicable law, following up to an initial two-year period, the Board of each Fund considers the renewal of each Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement on behalf of the 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 each Sub-Adviser are collectively the “Fund Advisers” and each a “Fund Adviser.” Below is a summary of the annual review process the Board undertook related to its most recent renewal of the Advisory Agreements with respect to each Nuveen fund covered by this report (each, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”).
To reach their determination, the Board Members considered the review of the Advisory Agreements to be an ongoing process. The Board Members employed the accumulated information, knowledge and experience they had gained during their tenure as disinterested Board Members on the respective Board of the Nuveen funds and its committees in overseeing the applicable funds and working with the respective investment advisers and sub-advisers in their review of the advisory agreements for the fund complex. The Board and/or its committees meet regularly throughout the year and at these meetings, the Board Members received materials and discussed information covering a wide range of topics pertinent to the annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreements. Such topics include, but are not limited to, the investment performance of the funds over various periods; investment oversight matters; economic, market and regulatory developments; any significant organizational or other developments impacting a Fund Adviser and its strategic plans for its business; product initiatives for various funds; fund expenses; compliance, regulatory and risk management matters; trading practices; the derivatives risk management program; management of distributions; valuation of securities; payments to financial intermediaries; securities lending (as applicable); and closed-end fund market activity, capital management initiatives, institutional ownership, management of leverage financing, the secondary market trading of the closed-end funds and any actions taken to address market discounts to net asset value. The Board also seeks to meet at its regular quarterly meetings with members of senior management to discuss various topics, including market conditions, industry developments and any significant developments or strategic plans for the Fund Advisers, if any.
To help with the review of performance, the Board and/or its committees periodically received and discussed presentations from member(s) of investment teams throughout the year, culminating in an annual performance review of the Nuveen funds at the Board’s meeting held on February 25-26, 2025 (the “February Meeting”). The presentations, discussions and meetings during the year provide a means for the Board Members to evaluate and consider the level, breadth and quality of services provided by the Fund Advisers and any changes to such services over time in light of new or modified regulatory requirements, changes to market conditions or other factors.
In addition to the materials and discussions that occurred at prior meetings, the Board, through its independent legal counsel, requested and received extensive materials and information prepared specifically for its review of the Advisory Agreements. During the year, management worked with an ad hoc committee established by the Board to help enhance and streamline the materials provided in connection with the annual review of the Advisory Agreements. The materials provided at the Meeting and/or prior meetings covered a wide range of matters including, but not limited to, a description of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Fund Advisers; a review of each Sub-Adviser and applicable investment team; an analysis of fund performance with a focus on funds considered to have met certain challenged performance measurements; an analysis of the fees and expense ratios of the Nuveen funds with a focus on funds considered to have certain expense characteristics; a list of management fee and sub-advisory fee schedules; an analysis of advisory fees compared to fees assessed to other types of clients; a description of portfolio manager compensation; certain profitability and/or financial data; and a description of indirect benefits received by the Fund Advisers as a result of their relationships with the Nuveen funds. The Board also considered information provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data, comparing fee and expense levels of each respective Fund to those of a peer universe.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (continued)
With respect to Security Capital, which is not affiliated with the Adviser, the Board of the Real Estate Fund, through independent legal counsel, requested and received materials and information prepared specifically for its review of the Sub-Advisory Agreement applicable to Security Capital. The materials included, among other things, a description of the services provided, a summary of the experience of key personnel and its organizational structure, its fee schedule and a comparison to certain fee data of other clients, an evaluation of the performance of the Real Estate Fund, certain profitability data of Security Capital and indirect benefits to Security Capital.
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 is based on all the information provided to the Board and its committees over time. The performance, fee and expense data and other information provided by a Fund Adviser, Broadridge or other service providers were not independently verified by the Board Members.
As part of their review, the Board Members and independent legal counsel met in executive session on April 9, 2025 to review and discuss materials provided in connection with their annual review of the Advisory Agreements. After reviewing this information, the Board Members requested, directly or through independent legal counsel, additional information, and the Board subsequently reviewed and discussed the responses to these follow-up questions and requests. The Board Members and independent legal counsel met again in executive session on April 17, 2025 (together with the April 9, 2025 executive session, the “Executive Sessions”) to discuss the responses to the initial supplemental information request and, following their review of the data provided, requested management present certain additional information at the Meeting. In addition to the Executive Sessions, the Board Members met in additional executive sessions prior to and during the Meeting. During the Meeting, the Board Members considered the responses, invited representatives of management to provide additional information and determined that the information provided (whether oral or written) was responsive to their requests.
The Board Members were advised by independent legal counsel during the annual review process as well as throughout the year, including meeting in executive sessions with such counsel at which no representatives of management were present. In connection with their annual review, the Board Members also received a memorandum from independent legal counsel outlining their fiduciary duties and legal standards in reviewing the Advisory Agreements, including guidance from court cases evaluating advisory fees.
After the discussions and with the background and knowledge described above, the Board Members approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements on behalf of the applicable Funds for an additional one-year period. The Board did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, but rather each decision reflected the comprehensive consideration of all the information (written or oral) provided to the Board and its committees throughout the year as well as the materials prepared specifically in connection with the annual review process. The contractual arrangements may reflect the results of prior year(s) of review, negotiation and information provided in connection with the Board’s annual review of the Funds’ advisory arrangements and oversight of the Funds. Each Board Member may have attributed different levels of importance to the various factors and information considered in connection with the annual review process and may have placed different emphasis on the relevant information year to year in light of, among other things, changing market and economic conditions. A summary of the principal factors and information, but not all the factors, the Board considered in deciding to renew the Advisory Agreements is set forth below.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In evaluating the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Board Members received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the applicable Fund Adviser’s services provided to each respective Fund. With this approach, they considered the roles of the Adviser and the respective Sub-Adviser(s) in providing services to the Funds.
The Board considered that the Adviser provides a wide array of management, oversight and other services to manage and operate the Funds. The Board considered the Adviser and its affiliates’ dedication of resources, time, people and capital as well as consistent program of improvement and innovation aimed at keeping the Nuveen fund complex relevant and attractive for existing and new investors and meeting the needs of an increasingly complex regulatory environment. Among the information provided in connection with the review of services at the Meeting and/or prior meetings, the Board considered a description of the organizational changes at the Adviser during the year, the management teams that comprise the various support and investment functions for the funds and the background of certain personnel who support the funds. The Board considered the significant resources, both financial and personnel, the Adviser and its affiliates had committed over the past several years in working to bring the asset management businesses of Nuveen and TIAA under one centralized umbrella and to consolidate their respective fund families to the benefit of the funds through, among other things, enhanced operating efficiencies, centralized investment leadership and a centralized shared resources and support model. To help ensure the continuation of services, the Board considered, among other things, management’s emphasis on succession planning and key person risk evaluation pursuant to which certain management team(s) meet annually to conduct a comprehensive review of successors to key positions, to develop and monitor corporate-wide standards and procedures in seeking to help ensure the firm may continue to operate in the event of business disruptions, and to review staffing and compensation levels to help remain competitive with peers in the industry. The Board considered a description of the application of business continuity plans and the periodic testing and review of such plans. As noted below, the Board also considered certain financial data of the Adviser and TIAA in assessing the financial stability and condition of the Adviser to provide a high level of quality of services to the Funds.
In its review, the Board considered that the Funds operated in a highly regulated industry and the scope and complexity of the services and resources that the Adviser and its affiliates must provide to manage and operate the Funds have expanded over the years due to regulatory, market and other developments. Such services included maintaining and monitoring the Nuveen funds’ compliance programs, risk management programs, liquidity risk management programs, derivatives risk management programs and cybersecurity programs. The Board and/or its Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee received reports regarding the funds’ compliance policies and procedures and matters undertaken thereunder as well as other compliance initiatives on a regular basis.
| 96 |
In considering the breadth and quality of services the Adviser and its various teams provide, the Board considered that the Adviser provides investment advisory services. With respect to the Funds, such Funds utilize the applicable Sub-Advisers to manage the portfolios of the Funds subject to the supervision of the Adviser. Accordingly, the Board considered that the Adviser and its affiliates, among other things, oversee and review the performance of the respective Sub-Adviser and its investment team(s); evaluate Fund performance and market conditions; evaluate investment strategies and recommend changes thereto; oversee trade execution and, as applicable, securities lending; evaluate investment risks; and manage valuation matters. As noted below, the Board also considered the Nuveen funds’ performance over various time periods throughout the year.
In addition to the portfolio management services provided to the Funds (including indirectly by overseeing a Sub-Adviser), the Board considered the extensive compliance, regulatory, administrative and other services the Adviser and its various teams or affiliates provide to manage and operate the applicable funds, including but not limited to: distribution management services pursuant to which management seeks to implement distribution policies and set distribution levels consistent with each fund’s product design and positioning; compliance services including establishing and maintaining broad-based compliance policies across the Nuveen fund complex, evaluating the compliance programs of various fund services providers, conducting ongoing risk assessments and testing, monitoring portfolio compliance with investment and regulatory requirements and providing a comprehensive compliance training program; providing regulatory advocacy services, including submitting comments on regulatory proposals and monitoring regulatory developments that may impact the fund(s); providing support to the Board and its committees throughout the year, including providing reports on a wide range of topics relating to the operations and management of the funds, helping to refine the materials provided to the Board and/or its committees and providing educational sessions on various topics; establishing and reviewing the services provided by other fund service providers (such as a fund’s custodian, accountant, and transfer agent); providing legal support services; and evaluating trade allocation and execution.
Such services also include managing leverage; providing capital management and secondary market services (such as implementing common share shelf offerings, capital return programs and common share repurchases); and maintaining a closed-end fund investor relations program. The Board considered that management actively monitors any discount from net asset value per share at which a fund’s common stock trades and evaluates potential avenues to mitigate the discount, including evaluating the level of distributions that the fund pays.
Aside from the services provided, the Board considered the financial resources of the Adviser and/or its affiliates and their willingness to make investments to support the funds. The Board considered the funds’ access to a seed capital budget provided by the Adviser and/or its affiliates to support new or existing funds and/or facilitate changes for a respective fund. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is a part of a large fund complex with a variety of investment disciplines, capabilities, and expertise. The Board considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates and the Adviser’s continuing commitment to provide high quality services.
In its review, the Board also considered the significant risks borne by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with their services to the Nuveen funds, including entrepreneurial risks in sponsoring and supporting new funds and smaller funds and ongoing risks with managing the Funds, such as investment, operational, reputational, regulatory, compliance and litigation risks.
The Board considered the division of responsibilities between the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers and considered that the Sub-Advisers and their investment personnel, as noted, generally are responsible for the management of the respective Fund’s portfolio or a portion thereof under the oversight of the Adviser and the Board. The Board considered an analysis of each Sub-Adviser provided by the Adviser which included, among other things, a summary of changes (if any) in the leadership teams and/or portfolio manager teams; the performance of the fund(s) sub-advised by the respective Sub-Adviser over various periods of time that met certain performance screening measurements; and data reflecting product changes (if any) taken with respect to certain funds. The Board considered 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 Funds. In leading up to the annual review, the Board and/or its Investment Committee considered, among other things, Fund performance (based on net asset value net of fees) over the quarter, one-, three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2024 on an absolute basis and as compared to the performance of comparable peers (the “Performance Peer Group”) and to a benchmark for the prescribed periods. Prior to the Meeting, the Board also received updated Fund performance over the quarter, one-, three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2025 on an absolute basis and in comparison to the Performance Peer Group and a benchmark for the prescribed periods. In its review of relative performance, the Board considered a Fund’s performance relative to its Performance Peer Group, among other things, by evaluating its quartile ranking with the 1st quartile representing the top performing funds within the Performance Peer Group and the 4th quartile representing the lowest performing funds.
The Board took into account the performance data, presentations and discussions (written and oral) that were provided at the Meeting and in prior meetings over time in evaluating fund performance, including particular focus on management’s analysis of the performance of funds that met certain screening measurements as determined pursuant to a methodology approved by the Board or additional measurements as determined by management’s investment analysts. As various Nuveen funds have modified their portfolio teams and/or made significant changes to their portfolio strategies over time, the Board reviewed, among other things, certain tracking performance data over specific periods comparing performance before and after such changes.
In evaluating performance, the Board considered some of the limitations of the performance data. The Board considered, among other things, that performance data reflects performance over a specified period which may differ significantly depending on the ending dates selected, particularly during periods of market volatility. Further, the Board considered that regardless of the performance period reviewed by the Board, shareholders may evaluate performance based on their own respective holding periods which may differ from the performance periods reviewed by the Board
| 97 |
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (continued)
and lead to differing results. With respect to comparative performance, the Board considered that differing investment objectives, investment strategies, dates of inception, type and cost of leverage (if any), asset size and other factors between the Performance Peer Group and the respective Fund necessarily lead to differences in performance results. Similarly, differences in the investment objective(s) and strategies of a Fund and its benchmark (particularly an actively managed fund that does not directly follow an index) as well as the costs of operating a Fund would contribute to differences in performance results. To assist the Board in its review of the comparability of the relative performance, management generally has ranked the relevancy of the Performance Peer Groups to the applicable funds (subject to certain exceptions) as low, medium or high.
The Board also considered that secondary market trading of shares of the closed-end funds also continues to be a priority for the Board given its importance to shareholders, and therefore, the Board and/or its Closed-End Fund Committee reviews certain performance data reflecting, among other things, the premiums and discounts at which the shares of the closed-end funds have traded as of specified dates at their quarterly meetings with an annual review of the closed-end fund market for the 2024 calendar year at its February Meeting. In its review, the Board considered, among other things, market conditions for closed-end funds, changes to investment mandates and guidelines, distribution policies, and leverage management; additional share offerings, share repurchases (if any) and similar capital market actions; and effective communications programs to build greater awareness and deepen understanding of closed-end funds. As applicable, the Board considered, among other things, the impact of leverage on a closed-end fund’s common share earnings and total return.
The Board evaluated performance in light of various relevant factors which may include, among other things, general market conditions, issuer- specific information, asset class information, leverage and fund cash flows. The Board considered that long-term performance could be impacted by even one period of significant outperformance or underperformance and that a single investment theme could disproportionately affect performance. Further, the Board considered that market and economic conditions may significantly impact a Fund’s performance, particularly over shorter periods, and such performance may be more reflective of such economic or market events and not necessarily reflective of management skill. Although the Board reviews short-, intermediate- and longer-term performance data, the Board considered that longer periods of performance may reflect full market cycles.
In their review from year to year, the Board Members consider and may place different emphasis on the relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. In evaluating performance, the Board focused particular attention on funds with less favorable performance records. However, depending on the facts and circumstances, including any differences between the respective fund and its benchmark and/or Performance Peer Group, the Board may be satisfied with a fund’s performance notwithstanding that its performance may be below that of its benchmark and/or peer group for certain periods. With respect to any funds for which the Board has identified performance issues, the Board seeks to monitor such funds more closely until performance improves, discuss with the Adviser the reasons for such results, consider whether any steps are necessary or appropriate to address such issues, discuss and evaluate the potential consequences of such steps and review the results of any steps undertaken.
The performance determinations with respect to each Fund are summarized below:
| • | For the Multi-Asset Fund, the Board considered that although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2024, the Fund matched the performance of its benchmark for the five-year period ended December 31, 2024. In addition, the Board considered that the Fund ranked in the third quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one- and three-year periods and first quartile for the five-year period ended December 31, 2024. In considering performance, the Board considered that the Performance Peer Group was classified as low for relevancy. The Board considered management’s analysis on the Fund’s performance, including the factors that contributed to or detracted from performance. On the basis of the Board’s ongoing review of investment performance and all relevant factors, including the relative market conditions during certain reporting periods, the Fund’s investment objective(s) and management’s discussion of performance, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance supported renewal of the Advisory Agreements. |
| • | For the Real Asset Fund, the Board considered that the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2024. In addition, although the Fund ranked in the fourth quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2024, the Fund ranked in the third quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the three-year period ended December 31, 2024. The Board further considered the Fund outperformed its benchmark and ranked in the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. In considering performance, the Board considered 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 the Fund’s performance supported renewal of the Advisory Agreements. |
| • | For the Real Estate Fund, the Board considered that although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2024, the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one-year period ended December 31, 2024. In addition, although the Fund ranked in the fourth quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund ranked in the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-year period and second quartile for the five-year period ended December 31, 2024. In considering performance, the Board considered 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 the Fund’s performance supported renewal of the Advisory Agreements. |

C. Fees, Expenses and Profitability
| 1. | Fees and Expenses |
As part of the annual review, the Board Members considered, among other things, the management fee schedules for the respective Fund. In addition to the management fee arrangements, the Board Members considered a Fund’s operating expense ratio as it more directly reflected a shareholder’s total costs in investing in the respective Fund.
In its review, the Board considered that the management fees of the Funds were generally comprised of two components, a fund-level component and a complex-level component, each with its own breakpoint schedule, subject to certain exceptions. The Board considered that in 2024, the Board approved a revised complex-wide breakpoint schedule which simplified and reduced the complex-level fee rates at various thresholds and expanded the eligible funds whose assets would be included in calculating the complex-level fee, effective May 1, 2024. The Board considered that the complex-level component is intended to be an efficient mechanism designed to help share cost efficiencies with shareholders as the complex- wide assets grow.
The Board also considered comparative fee and expense information prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data. More specifically, the Board Members generally reviewed, among other things, each Fund’s management fee rates and net total expense ratio in relation to similar data for a comparable universe of peers (the “Expense Universe”). In their review, the Board Members considered, in particular, each fund with a net total expense ratio (based on common assets and excluding investment-related costs such as the costs of leverage and taxes) meeting certain expense screening criteria adopted by the Board when compared to its Expense Universe and management’s commentary as to the factors contributing to each such fund’s relative net total expense ratio. The Board also considered, in relevant part, a fund’s management fee in light of its performance history with particular focus on any fund identified as having a higher management fee and/or expense ratio compared to peers coupled with experiencing a period of challenged performance.
In their review, the Board Members considered the methodology Broadridge employed to establish its Expense Universe. The Board further considered that differences between the applicable Fund and its Expense Universe, as well as changes to the composition of the Expense Universe from year to year, may limit some of the value of the comparative data. The Board Members also considered that it can be difficult to compare management fees among funds with peers as there are variations in the services that are included for the fees paid. The Board Members took these limitations and differences into account when reviewing comparative peer data.
In addition, although the Board reviewed net total expense ratio both including and excluding investment-related expenses (e.g., leverage costs), as applicable, the Board considered that leverage expenses will vary across funds and peers because of differences in the forms and terms of leverage employed by the respective fund and therefore generally considered each closed-end fund’s net total expense ratio and fees excluding investment- related costs and taxes. The Board also considered that the use of leverage may create a conflict of interest for the respective Adviser and Sub- Adviser(s) given the increase of assets from leverage upon which an advisory or sub-advisory fee is based but also considered the impact of leverage on the fund’s return. The Board Members considered, however, that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser(s) would seek to manage the potential conflict by recommending to the Board to leverage the applicable fund or increase such leverage when the respective Fund Adviser has determined that such action would be in the best interests of the respective fund and its common shareholders and by periodically reviewing with the Board the fund’s performance and the impact of the use of leverage on that performance.
With respect to the Sub-Advisers, the Board also considered, among other things, the sub-advisory fee schedule paid to the respective Sub-Adviser in light of the sub-advisory services provided to the respective Fund. In its review, the Board considered that the compensation paid to a Sub- Adviser is the responsibility of the Adviser, not the Funds.
The Board’s considerations regarding the comparative fee data for each Fund are set forth below:
| • | For the Multi-Asset Fund, the Fund’s contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio were each below the Expense Universe median. |
| • | For the Real Asset Fund, although the Fund’s actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio were each above the Expense Universe median, the Fund’s contractual management fee rate was below the Expense Universe median. |
| • | For the Real Estate Fund, the Fund’s contractual management fee rate and actual management fee rate matched the Expense Universe median, and the Fund’s net total expense ratio was below the Expense Universe median. |
Based on its review of the information provided, the Board determined that each Fund’s management fees (as applicable) to a Fund Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund.
| 2. | Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients |
In evaluating the appropriateness of fees, the Board also considered that the Adviser, the affiliated Sub-Advisers and/or their affiliate(s) provide investment management services to other types of clients which may include, among others: separately managed accounts (“SMAs”), retail managed accounts, foreign funds (UCITS), other investment companies (as sub-advisers), limited partnerships and collective investment trusts. The Board considered certain fee data for these other types of clients managed in a similar manner to certain of the funds compared to the management fee of the applicable fund. The Board considered a description of various factors which contribute to the differences in the management fee rates of the funds compared to those charged to these other types of clients which limited the comparability of the data. In this regard, the Board considered that the differences in, among other things, the breadth of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the funds compared to those provided to other clients; the expenses the Adviser and its affiliates incur in launching, operating and supporting a fund; the support services
| 99 |
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (continued)
provided to shareholders; the extensive regulatory, disclosure and governance requirements applicable to funds; the establishment and maintenance of servicing relationships with various service providers for the funds; the manner of managing such assets; investment policies; investor profiles; and account sizes all may contribute to the variations in relative fee rates. Differences in the level of advisory services required for passively managed funds also contribute to differences in the management fee levels of such funds compared to actively managed funds. In addition, differences in the client base; governing bodies, regulatory and legal requirements; distribution; jurisdiction and operational complexities also would contribute to variations in management fees assessed the funds compared to foreign fund clients. Further, differences in the level of advisory and non-advisory services required and risk incurred when serving as a sub-adviser to other investment companies compared to serving as the Adviser to a Nuveen fund contribute to differences in the fees assessed. In this regard, the Board further considered the significant entrepreneurial, legal and regulatory risks that the Adviser incurs in sponsoring and managing the Funds. As a general matter, higher fee levels reflect higher levels of service provided by the Adviser, increased investment management complexity, greater product management requirements, and higher levels of business risk or some combination of these factors. The Board further considered that a Sub-Adviser’s fee is essentially for portfolio management services and therefore more comparable to the fees received for retail wrap accounts and other external sub-advisory mandates. The Board concluded that the varying levels of fees were reasonable given the foregoing.
With respect to Security Capital, the Board Members reviewed certain fee data that the Sub-Adviser charges for other clients with comparable strategies to the Real Estate Fund. The Board Members considered that the Sub-Advisory Agreement with Security Capital, including the fees thereunder, was the result of arm’s length negotiations and Security Capital’s fees were reasonable in relation to the fees it assessed other clients.
| 3. | Profitability of the Fund Advisers |
In considering the costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Adviser (which encompassed the affiliated Sub-Advisers) from its relationship with the Funds, the Board Members considered a variety of estimated profitability data from various perspectives including, among other things, (a) historical pre-distribution and post-distribution margins over specified periods for the Adviser’s services to the applicable funds; (b) certain profitability data on behalf of the Adviser attributable to servicing all applicable funds for 2024 and 2023; (c) certain profitability data of both the Adviser and TAL (as an adviser of certain other Nuveen funds) on a combined basis derived from types of funds in the aggregate (i.e., from closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, interval funds and open-end funds) for 2024 and 2023; and (d) certain profitability data of both the Adviser and TAL (as an adviser of certain other Nuveen funds) on a combined basis by asset grouping of Nuveen funds in the aggregate (i.e., from equity, fund of funds, index, municipal bond and taxable fixed income funds). In addition, the Board considered profitability data at the per fund level for the respective adviser.
In reviewing the profitability data, the Board Members considered the subjective nature of calculating profitability as the information is not audited and is necessarily dependent on cost allocation methodologies to allocate expenses throughout the complex and among the various advisory products. The Board reviewed, among other things, a description of the cost allocation methodology employed to develop the profitability data. However, the Board Members considered that given there is no single universally recognized expense allocation methodology, other reasonable and valid allocation methodologies could be employed and could lead to significantly different profit and loss results and therefore developing profitability data is difficult, particularly on a per fund level.
Further, in considering the comparative margin data with peers, the Board Members considered the limitations of the comparative data given that peer data is not generally public and the calculation of profitability is subjective and affected by numerous factors (such as types of funds a peer manages, its business mix, its cost of capital, the numerous assumptions underlying the methodology used to allocate expenses and other factors) that can have a significant impact on the results. Given that the peer profitability data may reflect the different business mix of the respective peer firm, the Board also considered the pre- and post-distribution margins of Nuveen, LLC for each of the calendar years from 2020 through 2024.
Aside from the foregoing profitability data, the Board also considered, among other things, the audited statutory-basis financial statements of TIAA as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the related statutory-basis statements of operations, of changes in capital and contingency reserves and of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Board considered the benefit of an investment adviser and its parent with significant resources, particularly during periods of market volatility. The Board also considered the investments the Adviser, its parent and/or other affiliates made into their business.
With respect to Security Capital, the Board Members considered a profitability and/or margin analysis for the Sub-Adviser, generally including revenues, expenses and operating margins for its advisory services to the Real Estate Fund for the 2024 and 2023 calendar years. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee would have been established through arm’s length negotiations between the Adviser and Security Capital, and the Adviser pays Security Capital out of its own revenues.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Board Members also considered the indirect benefits the Adviser or Sub-Advisers received that were directly attributable to the management of the applicable funds as discussed in further detail below. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied that the Adviser’s (together with the affiliated Sub-Advisers) and Security Capital’s level of profitability from their relationship with the applicable Fund was not unreasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided.
D. Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale
The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the funds, 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 considered that economies of scale are difficult to measure with any precision and the rates at which certain expenses are incurred may not decline with a rise in assets, the Board considered that there are a variety of methods that may be employed to help share the benefits of economies of
| 100 |
scale, including, among other things, through the use of breakpoints in the management fee schedule, the pricing of funds at scale at inception and investments in the Adviser’s business which can enhance the services provided to the funds for the fees paid. The Board considered such factors applicable to the particular Fund’s advisory fee structure.
As noted above, the Board considered that the management fee of the Adviser for the Funds generally was comprised of a fund-level component and a complex-level component each with its own breakpoint schedule. The Board also approved a revised complex-wide breakpoint schedule in 2024 which reduced the complex-level fee rates at various thresholds and expanded the assets included when calculating the complex-level fee. With this structure, the Board considered that the complex-level breakpoint schedule was designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to shareholders when the assets of the eligible participating funds 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 were designed to share economies of scale with shareholders if the particular fund grows. The Board reviewed the fund-level and complex-level fee schedules.
Although closed-end funds may make additional share offerings from time to time, the Board considered that closed-end funds have a more limited ability to increase their assets to attain additional economies of scale because the growth of their assets will occur primarily from the appreciation of their investment portfolios.
The Board Members also considered the continued reinvestment in Nuveen’s business to enhance its capabilities and services to the benefit of its various clients. The Board considered that many of these investments were not specific to individual Nuveen funds, but rather initiatives from which the family of funds as a whole may benefit. The Board further considered that the scope of the services of the Adviser and its affiliates have expanded over time without raising advisory fees to the funds, and this was also a means of sharing economies of scale with the funds and their shareholders. The Board considered the Adviser’s and/or its affiliates’ ongoing efforts to streamline the product line-up, among other things, to create more scaled funds which may help improve both expense and trading economies for participating funds.
Based on its review, the Board was satisfied that the current fee arrangements together with the reinvestment in management’s business appropriately shared any economies of scale with shareholders.
E. Indirect Benefits
The Board Members received and considered information regarding various indirect benefits the respective Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationship with the funds. These benefits included, among other things, economies of scale to the extent the Adviser or its affiliates share investment resources and/or personnel with other clients of the Adviser. Certain funds may also be used as investment options for other products or businesses offered by the Adviser and/or its affiliates, such as variable products, fund of funds and 529 education savings plans, and the Adviser and/or affiliates of the Adviser may serve as sub-adviser to various funds in which case all advisory and sub-advisory fees generated by such funds stay within Nuveen.
Further, the funds may pay the Adviser and/or its affiliates for other services, such as distribution. In this regard, the Board considered that an affiliate of the Adviser received compensation in 2024 for serving as an underwriter on shelf offerings of existing closed-end funds and reviewed the amounts paid for such services in 2024 and 2023.
In addition, the Board Members considered that the Adviser and Sub-Advisers (except as noted) may utilize soft dollar brokerage arrangements attributable to the respective fund(s) to obtain research and other services for any or all of their clients, although the Board Members also considered (a) with respect to the Nuveen funds advised by the Adviser and sub-advised by an affiliated Sub-Adviser, reimbursements of such costs by the Adviser and/or the applicable affiliated Sub-Adviser, and (b) with respect to the Real Estate Fund, reimbursements of such costs by Security Capital.
The Adviser and its affiliates may also benefit from the advisory relationships with the Nuveen funds to the extent this relationship results in potential investors viewing the TIAA group of companies as a leading retirement plan provider in the academic and nonprofit market and a single source for all their financial service needs. The Adviser and/or its affiliates may further benefit to the extent that they have pricing or other information regarding vendors the funds utilize in establishing arrangements with such vendors for other products.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that any indirect benefits received by a Fund Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided.
F. Other Considerations
The Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement were reasonable, that the respective Fund Adviser’s fees were reasonable in light of the services provided to each Fund and that the Advisory Agreements be renewed for an additional one-year period.
