Item 4.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
|
The following tables show the amount of fees that PricewaterhouseCoopers, the Funds' auditor, billed to the Funds during the Funds' last two full fiscal years. The Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-auditservices that PricewaterhouseCoopers provided to the Funds, except for those non-auditservices that were subject to the pre-approvalexception under Rule 2-01of Regulation S-X(the "pre-approvalexception"). The pre-approvalexception for services provided directly to the Funds waives the pre-approvalrequirement for services other than audit, review or attest services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Funds during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Funds did not recognize the services as non-auditservices at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the audit is completed.
The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approvalresponsibilities to its Chair (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).

(hereafter
collectively

as
of
June
30,
2024,
the
related
statements
of
operations
for
the
year
ended
June
30,
2024,
the
statements
of
changes
in
net

for
each
of
the
two

of
the
five
years
in
the
period
ended
June
30,
2024
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
"financial
statements").
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
each
of
the
Funds
as
of
June
30,
2024,
the
results
of
each
of
their
operations
for
the
year
then
ended,
the
changes
in
each
of
their
net
assets
for
each
of
the
two
years
in
the
period
ended
June
30,
2024
and
each
of
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
five

in

in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in

United
States
of

Basis
for
Opinions
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Funds'
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Funds'
financial
statements
based
on
our
audits.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(PCAOB)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Funds
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audits
of
these
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
audits
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
June
30,
2024
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian
and
brokers;
when
replies
were
not
received
from
brokers,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinions.

Significant
Accounting
Policies
The
accompanying
financial
statements
were
prepared
in
accordance
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
("U.S.
GAAP"),
which
may
require
the
use
of
estimates
made
by
management
and
the
evaluation
of
subsequent
events.
Actual
results
may
differ
from
those
estimates.
Each
Fund
is
an
investment
company
and
follows
accounting
guidance
in
the
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
("FASB")
Accounting
Standards
Codification
946,
Financial
Services
-
Investment
Companies.
The
NAV
for
financial
reporting
purposes
may
differ
from
the
NAV
for
processing
security
and shareholder
transactions.
The
NAV
for
financial
reporting
purposes
includes
security
and
common
share
transactions
through
the
date
of
the
report.
Total
return
is
computed
based
on
the
NAV
used
for
processing
security
and
common
share
transactions.
The
following
is
a
summary
of
the
significant
accounting
policies
consistently
followed
by
the
Funds.
Compensation:
Neither
Trust
pays
compensation
directly
to
those
of
its
officers,
all
of
whom
receive
remuneration
for
their
services
to
each
Trust
from
the
Adviser
or
its
affiliates.
The
Funds'
Board
of
Trustees
(the "Board")
has
adopted
a
deferred
compensation
plan
for
independent
trustees
that
enables
trustees
to
elect
to
defer
receipt
of
all
or
a
portion
of
the
annual
compensation
they
are
entitled
to
receive
from
certain
Nuveen-advised
funds.
Under
the
plan,
deferred
amounts
are
treated
as
though
equal
dollar
amounts
had
been
invested
in
shares
of
select
Nuveen-advised
funds.
Distributions
to
Shareholders:
Distributions
to
shareholders
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
The
amount,
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.
Foreign
Currency
Transactions
and
Translation:
The
books
and
records
of
the
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
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
on
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
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)"
on
the
Statement
of
Operations,
when
applicable.
43
As
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
the
following
Funds'
investments
in
non-U.S.
securities
were
as
follows:
Foreign
Taxes:
The
Funds
may
be
subject
to
foreign
taxes
on
income,
gains
on
investments
or
foreign
currency
repatriation,
a
portion
of
which
may
be
recoverable.
The
Funds
will
accrue
such
taxes
and
recoveries
as
applicable,
based
upon
the
current
interpretation
of
tax
rules
and
regulations
that
exist
in
the
markets
in
which
the
Funds
invest.
Indemnifications:
Under each
Trust's
organizational
documents,
its
officers
and
trustees
are
indemnified
against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to each
Trust.
In
addition,
in
the
normal
course
of
business, each
Trust
enters
into
contracts
that
provide
general
indemnifications
to
other
parties. Each
Trust's
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
as
this
would
involve
future
claims
that
may
be
made
against each
Trust
that
have
not
yet
occurred.
However, each
Trust
has
not
had
prior
claims
or
losses
pursuant
to
these
contracts
and
expects
the
risk
of
loss
to
be
remote.
Investments
and
Investment
Income:
Securities
transactions
are
accounted
for
as
of
the
trade
date
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Realized
gains
and
losses
on
securities
transactions
are
based
upon
the
specific
identification
method.
Dividend
income
is
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date
or,
for
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.
Securities
lending
income
is
comprised
of
fees
earned
from
borrowers
and
income
earned
on
cash
collateral
investments.
Multiclass
Operations
and
Allocations:
Income
and
expenses
of
the
Funds
that
are
not
directly
attributable
to
a
specific
class
of
shares
are
prorated
among
the
classes
based
on
the
relative
net
assets
of
each
class.
Expenses
directly
attributable
to
a
class
of
shares
are
recorded
to
the
specific
class.
12b-1
distribution
and
service
fees
are
allocated
on
a
class-specific
basis.
Sub-transfer
agent
fees
and
similar
fees,
which
are
recognized
as
a
component
of
"Shareholder
servicing
agent
fees"
on
the
Statement
of
Operations,
are
not
charged
to
Class
R6
Shares
and
are
prorated
among
the
other
classes
based
on
their
relative
net
assets.
Realized
and
unrealized
capital
gains
and
losses
of
the
Funds
are
prorated
among
the
classes
based
on
the
relative
net
assets
of
each
class.
Netting
Agreements:
In
the
ordinary
course
of
business,
the
Funds
may
enter
into
transactions
subject
to
enforceable
master
repurchase
agreements,
International
Swaps
and
Derivatives
Association,
Inc.
(ISDA)
master
agreements
or
other
similar
arrangements
("netting
agreements").
Generally,
the
right
to
offset
in
netting
agreements
allows
each
Fund
to
offset
certain
securities
and
derivatives
with
a
specific
counterparty,
when
applicable,
as
well
as
any
collateral
received
or
delivered
to
that
counterparty
based
on
the
terms
of
the
agreements.
Generally,
each
Fund

New
Accounting
Pronouncement:
In
June
2022,
the
FASB
issued
ASU
2022-03
to
clarify
the
guidance
in
Topic
820,
Fair
Value
Measurement
("Topic
820").
The
amendments
in
ASU
2022-03
affect
all
entities
that
have
investments
in
equity
securities
measured
at
fair
value
that
are
subject
to
a
contractual
sale
restriction.
ASU
2022-03
(1)
clarifies
the
guidance
in
Topic
820,
when
measuring
the
fair
value
of
an
equity
security
subject
to
contractual
restrictions
that
prohibit
the
sale
of
equity
security,
(2)
amends
a
related
illustrative
example,
and
(3)
introduces
new
disclosure
requirements
for
equity
securities
subject
to
contractual
sale
restrictions
that
are
measured
at
fair
value
in
accordance
with
Topic
820.
For
public
business
entities,
the
amendments
in
ASU
2022-03
are
effective
for
fiscal
years
beginning
after
December
15,
2023,
and
interim
periods
within
those
fiscal
years.
For
all
other
entities,
the
amendments
are
effective
for
fiscal
years
beginning
after
December
15,
2024,
and
interim
periods
within
those
fiscal
years.
Early
adoption
is
permitted
for
both
interim
and
annual
financial
statements
that
have
not
yet
been
issued
or
made
available
for
issuance.
During
the
current
fiscal
period,
the
Funds
adopted
the
new
guidance
and
there
was
no
material
impact
to
the
Funds.
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,

and
other
information
and

including
the
obligor's

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.
Repurchase
agreements
are
valued
at
contract
amount
plus
accrued
interest,
which
approximates
market
value.
These
securities
are
generally
classified
as
Level
2.
Investments
in
investment
companies
are
valued
at
their
respective
NAVs
or
share
price on
the
valuation
date
and
are
generally
classified
as
Level
1.
For
any
portfolio
security
or
derivative
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
or
for
which
the
Adviser
deems
the
valuations
derived
using
the
valuation
procedures
described
above
not
to
reflect
fair
value,
the
Adviser
will
determine
a
fair
value
in
good
faith
using
alternative
procedures
approved
by
the
Adviser,
subject
to
the
oversight
of
the
Board.
As
a
general
principle,
the
fair
value
of
a
security
is
the
amount
that
the
owner
might
reasonably
expect
to
receive
for
it
in
a
current
sale.
A
variety
of
factors
may
be
considered
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
such
securities,
which
may
include
consideration
of
the
following:
yields
or
prices
of
investments
of
comparable
quality,
type
of
issue,
coupon,
maturity
45
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

Portfolio
Securities
Repurchase
Agreements:
In
connection
with
transactions
in
repurchase
agreements,
it
is
each
Fund's
policy
that
its
custodian
take
possession
of
the
underlying
collateral
securities,
the
fair
value
of
which
exceeds
the
principal
amount
of
the
repurchase
transaction,
including
accrued
interest,
at
all
times.
If
the
counterparty
defaults,
and
the
fair
value
of
the
collateral
declines,
realization
of
the
collateral
may
be
delayed
or
limited.
The
following
table
presents
the
repurchase
agreements
for
the
Funds
that
are
subject
to
netting
agreements
as
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
and
the
collateral
delivered
related
to
those
repurchase
agreements.
Securities
Lending:
Each
Fund
may
lend
securities
representing
up
to
one-third
of
the
value
of
its
total
assets
to
broker-dealers,
banks,
and
other
institutions
in
order
to
generate
additional
income.
When
loaning
securities,
the
Fund
retains
the
benefits
of
owning
the
securities,
including
the
economic
equivalent
of
dividends
or
interest
generated
by
the
security.
The
loans
are
continuous,
can
be
recalled
at
any
time,
and
have
no
set
maturity.
The
Funds'
custodian,
State
Street
Bank
and
Trust
Company,
serves
as
the
securities
lending
agent
(the
"Agent").
When
a
Fund
loans
its
portfolio
securities,
it
will
receive,
at
the
inception
of
each
loan,
cash
collateral
equal
to
an
amount
not
less
than
100%
of
the
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities.
The
actual
percentage
of
the
cash
collateral
will
vary
depending
upon
the
asset
type
of
the
loaned
securities.
Collateral
for
the
loaned
securities
is
invested
in
a
government
money
market
vehicle
maintained
by
the
Agent,
which
is
subject
to
the
requirements
of
Rule
2a-7
under
the
1940
Act.
The
value
of
the
loaned
securities
and
the
liability
to
return
the
cash
collateral
received
are
recognized
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
If
the
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
increases,
the
borrower
must
furnish
additional
collateral
to
the
Fund,
which
is
also
recognized
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Securities
out
on
loan
are
subject
to
termination
at
any
time
at
the
option
of
the
borrower
or
the
Fund.
Upon
termination,
the
borrower
is
required
to
return
to
the
Fund
securities
identical
to
the
securities
loaned.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
the
Fund
bears
the
market
risk
with
respect
to
the
investment
of
collateral
and
the
risk
that
the
Agent
may
default
on
its
contractual
obligations
to
the
Fund.
The
Agent
bears
the
risk
that
the
borrower
may
default
on
its
obligation
to
return
the
loaned
securities
as
the
Agent
is
contractually
obligated
to
indemnify
the
Fund
if
at
the
time
of
a
default
by
a
borrower
some
or
all
of
the
loan
securities
have
not
been
returned.
Securities
lending
income
recognized
by
a
Fund
consists
of
earnings
on
invested
collateral
and
lending
fees,
net
of
any
rebates
to
the
borrower
and
compensation
to
the
Agent.
Such
income
is
recognized
on
the
Statement
of
Operations.
As
of
the
end
of
the
current
reporting
period,
the
total
value
of
the
loaned
securities
and
the
total
value
of
collateral
received
were
as
follows:
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.

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.
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.

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.

Notes
to
Financial
Statements
(continued)
Differences
between
amounts
for
financial
statement
and
federal
income
tax
purposes
are
primarily
due
to
timing
differences
in
recognizing
gains
and
losses
on
investment
transactions.
Temporary
differences
do
not
require
reclassification.
As
of
year
end,
permanent
differences
that
resulted
in
reclassifications
among
the
components
of
net
assets
relate
primarily
to
distribution
reallocations,
foreign
currency
transactions,
investments
in
partnerships,
investments
in
passive
foreign
investment
companies,
nondeductible
expenses,
return
of
capital
and
long-term
capital
gain
distributions
received
from
portfolio
investments,
and
tax
equalization.
Temporary
and
permanent
differences
have
no
impact
on
a
Fund's
net
assets.
As
of
year
end,
the
aggregate
cost
and
the
net
unrealized
appreciation/(depreciation)
of
all
investments
for
federal
income
tax
purposes
were
as
follows:
For
purposes
of
this
disclosure,
tax
cost
generally
includes
the
cost
of
portfolio
investments
as
well
as
up-front
fees
or
premiums
exchanged
on
derivatives
and
any
amounts
unrealized
for
income
statement
reporting
but
realized
income
and/or
capital
gains
for
tax
reporting,
if
applicable.
As

Management
Fees
and

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

the

(continued)
For
the
period
July
1,
2023
through
April
30,
2024,
the
annual
complex-level
fee,
payable
monthly,
for
each
Fund
was
calculated
according
to
the
following
schedule:
*
The
complex-level
fee
is
calculated
based
upon
the
aggregate
daily
"eligible
assets"
of
all
Nuveen
open-end
and
closed-end
funds.
Eligible
assets
do
not
include
assets
attributable
to
investments
in
other
Nuveen
funds
or
assets
in
excess
of
a
determined
amount
(originally
$2
billion)
added
to
the
Nuveen
fund
complex
in
connection
with
the
Adviser's
assumption
of
the
management
of
the
former
First
American
Funds
effective
January
1,
2011,
but
do
include
certain
assets
of
certain
Nuveen
funds
that
were
reorganized
into
funds
advised
by
an
affiliate
of
the
Adviser
during
the
2019
calendar
year.
Eligible
assets
include
closed-end
fund
assets
managed
by
the
Adviser
that
are
attributable
to
certain
types
of
leverage.
For
these
purposes,
leverage
includes
the
closed-end
funds'
use
of
preferred
stock
and
borrowings
and
certain
investments
in
the
residual
interest
certificates
(also
called
inverse
floating
rate
securities)
in
tender
option
bond
(TOB)
trusts,
including
the
portion
of
assets
held
by
a
TOB
trust
that
has
been
effectively
financed
by
the
trust's
issuance
of
floating
rate
securities,
subject
to
an
agreement
by
the
Adviser
as
to
certain
funds
to
limit
the
amount
of
such
assets
for
determining
eligible
assets
in
certain
circumstances.
Effective
May
1,
2024
the
annual
complex-level
fee,
payable
monthly,
for
each
Fund
is
calculated
according
to
the
following
schedule:
*
The
complex-level
fee
is
calculated
based
upon
the
aggregate
daily
"eligible
assets"
of
all
Nuveen-branded
closed-end
funds
and

of
Nuveen,
for
services
provided
and
expenses
incurred
in
distributing
shares
of
the
Funds
and
establishing
and
maintaining
shareholder

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:
Each
Fund
is
permitted
to
purchase
or
sell
securities
from
or
to
certain
other
funds
or
accounts
managed
by
the
Sub-Adviser
("Affiliated
Entity")
under
specified
conditions
outlined
in
procedures
adopted
by
the
Board
("cross-trade").
These
procedures
have
been
designed
to
ensure
that
any
cross-trade
of
securities
by
the
Fund
from
or
to
an
Affiliated
Entity
by
virtue
of
having
a
common
investment
adviser
(or
affiliated
investment
adviser),
common
officer
and/or
common
trustee
complies
with
Rule
17a-7
under
the
1940
Act.
These
transactions
are
effected
at
the
current
market
price
(as
provided
by
an
independent
pricing
service)
without
incurring
broker
commissions.
During
the
current
fiscal
period,
the
Funds
did
not
engage
in
cross-trades
pursuant
to
these
procedures.
During
the
current
fiscal
period,
the
Distributor,
collected
sales
charges
on
purchases
of
Class
A
Shares,
the
majority
of
which
were
paid
out
as
concessions
to
financial
intermediaries
as
follows:
The
Distributor
also
received
12b-1
service
fees
on
Class
A

substantially
all
of
which
were
paid

financial

Borrowing
Arrangements
Committed
Line
of
Credit:
The
Funds,
along
with
certain
other
funds
managed
by
the
Adviser
("Participating
Funds"),
have
established
a
364-day,
$2.700
billion
standby
credit
facility
with
a
group
of
lenders,
under
which
the
Participating
Funds
may
borrow
for
temporary
purposes
(other
than
on-
going
leveraging
for
investment
purposes).
Each
Participating
Fund
is
allocated
a
designated
proportion
of
the
facility's
capacity
(and
its
associated
costs,
as
described
below)
based
upon
a
multi-factor
assessment
of
the
likelihood
and
frequency
of
its
need
to
draw
on
the
facility,
the
size
of
the
Fund
and
its
anticipated
draws,
and
the
potential
importance
of
such
draws
to
the
operations
and
well-being
of
the
Fund,
relative
to
those
of
the
other
Funds.
A
Fund
may
effect
draws
on
the
facility
in
excess
of
its
designated
capacity
if
and
to
the
extent
that
other
Participating
Funds
have
undrawn
capacity.
The
credit
facility
expires
in
June
2025
unless
extended
or
renewed.

The Approval Process
At meetings held on April 18 and 19, 2024 (the "Meeting"), the Boards of Trustees (collectively, the "Board"and each Trustee, a "Board Member") of Nuveen Investment Trust and Nuveen Investment Trust II approved, for each applicable fund listed above (each a "Fund"), the renewal of the investment management agreement (each an "Investment Management Agreement") with Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC ("NFAL"; NFAL is an "Adviser") pursuant to which NFAL serves as investment adviser to such Fund. Similarly, for each Fund, the Board approved the renewal of the sub-advisoryagreement (each a "Sub-AdvisoryAgreement") with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser") pursuant to which the Sub-Adviserserves as the sub-adviserto such Fund. The Board Members are not "interested persons" (as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act")) and, therefore, the Board is deemed to be comprised of all disinterested Board Members. References to the Board and the Board Members are interchangeable. Below is a summary of the annual review process the Board undertook related to its most recent renewal of each Investment Management Agreement and Sub-AdvisoryAgreement on behalf of the applicable Fund.
In accordance with applicable law, following up to an initial two-yearperiod, the Board considers the renewal of each Investment Management Agreement and Sub-AdvisoryAgreement on behalf of the applicable Fund on an annual basis. The Investment Management Agreements and Sub-AdvisoryAgreements are collectively referred to as the "Advisory Agreements,"and NFAL and the Sub-Adviserare collectively, the "Fund Advisers"and each a "Fund Adviser."In addition, the fund complex consists of the group of funds advised by NFAL (collectively referred to as the "Nuveen funds") and the group of funds advised by Teachers Advisors, LLC ("TAL"and such funds are collectively, the "TC funds"). For clarity, NFAL serves as Adviser to the Nuveen funds, including the Funds, and TAL serves as "Adviser" to the TC funds. The Board Members considered that the prior separate boards of the TC funds and Nuveen funds were consolidated effective in January 2024. Accordingly, at the Meeting, the Board Members considered the review of the advisory agreements for the Nuveen funds as well as reviewed the investment management agreements for the TC funds. Depending on the appropriate context, references to "the Adviser" may be to NFAL with respect to the Nuveen funds and/or TAL with respect to the TC funds.
The Board Members considered the review of the advisory agreements of the Nuveen funds and the TC funds to be an ongoing process. The Board Members therefore employed the accumulated information, knowledge and experience they had gained during their tenure on the respective board of the TC funds or Nuveen funds (as the case may be) governing the applicable funds and working with the respective investment advisers and sub-advisers,as applicable, in their review of the advisory agreements for the fund complex.
During the course of the year prior to the Meeting, the Board and/or its committees received a wide variety of materials that covered a range of topics relevant to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the advisory agreements, including reports on fund investment results over various periods; product initiatives for various funds; fund expenses; compliance, regulatory and risk management matters; trading practices, including soft dollar arrangements (as applicable); the liquidity and derivatives risk management programs; management of distributions; valuation of securities; payments to financial intermediaries, including 12b-1expenses (as applicable); securities lending (as applicable); and overall market and regulatory developments. The Board also met periodically with and/or received presentations by key investment professionals managing a fund's portfolio. In particular, at the Board meeting held on February 27-29,2024 (the "February Meeting"), the Board and/or its Investment Committee received the annual performance review of the funds as described in further detail below. The presentations, discussions and meetings throughout the year also provide a means for the Board to evaluate and consider the level, breadth and quality of services provided by the Adviser and sub-advisers,as applicable, and how such services have changed over time in light of new or modified regulatory requirements, changes to market conditions or other factors.
In connection with its annual consideration of the advisory agreements, the Board, through its independent legal counsel, requested and received extensive materials and information prepared specifically for its review of the advisory agreements. The materials provided at the Meeting and/or prior meetings covered a wide range of matters including, but not limited to, a description of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Fund Advisers; the consolidation of the Nuveen fund family and TC fund family; a review of product actions advanced in 2023 for the benefit of particular funds and/or the fund complex; a review of each sub-adviser,if applicable, and/or applicable investment team; an analysis of fund performance with a focus on funds considered to have met certain challenged performance measurements; an analysis of the fees and expense ratios of the funds with a focus on funds considered to have certain expense characteristics; a list of management fee and, if applicable, sub-advisoryfee schedules; a review of temporary and permanent expense caps and fee waivers for open-endfunds (as applicable); a description of portfolio manager compensation; a description of the profitability and/or financial
Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (continued)
data of Nuveen, TAL and the sub-advisers;and a description of indirect benefits received by the Adviser and the sub-advisersas a result of their relationships with the funds, as applicable. The Board also considered information provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"), an independent provider of investment company data, comparing fee and expense levels of each respective fund to those of a peer universe and, with respect to open-endfunds, also to a peer group of funds selected by Broadridge, subject to certain exceptions.
The information prepared specifically for the annual review supplemented the information provided to the Board and its committees and the evaluations of the funds by the Board and its committees during the year. The Board's review of the advisory agreements for the fund complex is based on all the information provided to the Board and its committees over time. The performance, fee and expense data and other information provided by a Fund Adviser, Broadridge or other service providers were not independently verified by the Board Members.
As part of their review, the Board Members and independent legal counsel met by videoconference in executive session on April 10, 2024 (the "April Executive Session") to review and discuss materials provided in connection with their annual review of the advisory agreements for the fund complex. After reviewing this information, the Board Members requested, directly or through independent legal counsel, additional information, and the Board subsequently reviewed and discussed the responses to these follow-upquestions and requests.
The Board Members were advised by independent legal counsel during the annual review process as well as throughout the year, including meeting in executive sessions with such counsel at which no representatives of management were present. In connection with their annual review, the Board Members also received a memorandum from independent legal counsel outlining their fiduciary duties and legal standards in reviewing the Advisory Agreements, including guidance from court cases evaluating advisory fees.
The Board's decisions to renew each Advisory Agreement were not based on a single identified factor, but rather each decision reflected the comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board and its committees throughout the year as well as the materials prepared specifically in connection with the annual review process. The contractual arrangements may reflect the results of prior year(s) of review, negotiation and information provided in connection with the Board's annual review of the funds' advisory arrangements and oversight of the funds. Each Board Member may have attributed different levels of importance to the various factors and information considered in connection with the annual review process and may have placed different emphasis on the relevant information year to year in light of, among other things, changing market and economic conditions. A summary of the principal factors and information, but not all the factors, the Board considered in deciding to renew the Advisory Agreements is set forth below.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In evaluating the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Board Members received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the applicable Fund Adviser's services provided to each respective Fund with particular focus on the services and enhancements or changes to such services provided during the last year. The Board Members considered the Investment Management Agreements and the Sub-AdvisoryAgreements separately in the course of their review. With this approach, they considered the roles of NFAL and the Sub-Adviserin 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 applicable funds. The Board considered the Adviser's and its affiliates' dedication of resources, time, people and capital as well as continual program of improvement and innovation aimed at enhancing the funds and fund complex for investors and meeting the needs of an increasingly complex regulatory environment. In particular, over the past several years, the Board considered the significant resources, both financial and personnel, the Adviser and its affiliates have committed in working to consolidate the Nuveen fund family and TC fund family under one centralized umbrella. The Board considered that the organizational changes in bringing together Nuveen, its affiliates and TIAA's (as defined below) asset management businesses, consolidating the Nuveen and TC fund families and other initiatives were anticipated to provide various benefits for the funds through, among other things, enhanced operating efficiencies, centralized investment leadership and a centralized shared resources and support model. As part of these efforts, the boards of the TC funds and Nuveen funds were consolidated effective in January 2024. In addition, in conjunction with these consolidation efforts, the Board approved at the Meeting changes to fee and breakpoint structures (as applicable) that could provide cost savings to participating funds, as described in further detail below.
The Board also reviewed information regarding other product actions undertaken or continued by management in the 2023 calendar year in seeking to improve the effectiveness of the organization, the product line-upas well as particular funds through, among other things, continuing to review and optimize the product line and gaining efficiencies through mergers and liquidations; reviewing and updating investment policies and benchmarks; implementing fee waivers and/or expense cap changes for certain funds; evaluating and adjusting portfolio management teams as appropriate for various funds; and developing policy positions on a broad range of regulatory proposals that may impact the funds and communicating with lawmakers and other regulatory authorities to help ensure these positions are considered. In its review, the Board considered that the funds operated in a highly regulated industry and the scope and complexity of the services and resources that the Adviser and its affiliates must provide to manage and operate the applicable funds have expanded over the years as a result of, among other things, regulatory, market and other developments, such as the adoption of the tailored shareholder report or the revised fund name rule.
In considering the breadth and quality of services the Adviser and its various teams provide, the Board considered that the Adviser provides investment advisory services. With respect to the Nuveen funds, such funds utilize sub-advisersto manage the portfolios of the funds subject to the supervision of NFAL. Accordingly, the Board considered that NFAL and its
affiliates, among other things, oversee and review the performance of the respective sub-adviserand its investment team(s); evaluate Nuveen fund performance and market conditions; evaluate investment strategies and recommend changes thereto; set and manage distributions consistent with the respective Nuveen fund's product design; oversee trade execution and, as applicable, securities lending; evaluate investment risks; and manage valuation matters. The Board further considered that over the course of the 2023 calendar year, the Nuveen global public product team which supports the funds in the fund complex and their shareholders assessed the investment personnel across the investment leadership teams which resulted in additions or other modifications to the portfolio management teams of various funds. The Board also reviewed a description of the compensation structure applicable to certain portfolio managers.
In addition to the above investment advisory services, the Board further considered the extensive compliance, regulatory, administrative and other services the Adviser and its various teams or affiliates provide to manage and operate the applicable funds. Given the highly regulated industry in which the funds operate, the Board considered the breadth of the Adviser's compliance program and related policies and procedures. The Board reviewed various initiatives the Adviser's compliance team undertook or continued in 2023, in part, to address new regulatory requirements, support international business growth and product development, enhance international trading capabilities, enhance monitoring capabilities in light of the new regulatory requirements and guidance and maintain a comprehensive training program. The Board further considered, among other things, that other non-advisoryservices provided included, among other things, board support and reporting; establishing and reviewing the services provided by other fund service providers (such as a fund's custodian, accountant, and transfer agent); risk management, including reviews of the liquidity risk management and derivatives risk management programs; legal support services; regulatory advocacy; and cybersecurity, business continuity and disaster recovery planning and testing.
Aside from the services provided, the Board considered the financial resources of the Adviser and/or its affiliates and their willingness to make investments in the technology, personnel and infrastructure to support the funds, including to enhance global talent, middle office systems, software and international and internal capabilities. The Board considered the access provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to a seed capital budget to support new or existing funds and/or facilitate changes for a respective fund. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large fund complex with a variety of investment disciplines, capabilities, expertise and resources available to navigate and support the funds including during stressed times. The Board considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates and the Adviser's continuing commitment to provide high quality services.
In its review, the Board also considered the significant risks borne by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with their services to the applicable funds, including entrepreneurial risks in sponsoring and supporting new funds and smaller funds and ongoing risks with managing the funds, such as investment, operational, reputational, regulatory, compliance and litigation risks.
With respect to the Funds, the Board considered the division of responsibilities between NFAL and the Sub-Adviserand considered that the Sub-Adviserand its investment personnel generally are responsible for the management of each Fund's portfolio under the oversight of NFAL and the Board. The Board considered an analysis of the Sub-Adviserprovided by NFAL which included, among other things, a summary of changes in the leadership teams and/or portfolio manager teams; the performance of the Nuveen funds sub-advisedby the Sub-Adviserover various periods of time; and data reflecting product changes (if any) taken with respect to certain Nuveen funds. The Board considered that NFAL recommended the renewal of the Sub-AdvisoryAgreements.
Based on its review, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the respective Funds under each applicable Advisory Agreement.
B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and Fund Advisers
In evaluating the quality of the services provided by the Fund Advisers, the Board also considered a variety of investment performance data of the Funds. In this regard, the Board and/or its Investment Committee reviewed, among other things, performance of the Funds over the quarter, one-,three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024. For those Funds with multiple share classes, the performance data was based on Class I shares; however, the performance of other share classes was substantially similar as those other share classes invest in the same portfolio of securities and differences in performance among the classes would be principally attributed to the variations in the expense structures of the share classes. The Board performed its annual review of fund performance at its February Meeting and an additional review at the April Executive Session and also reviewed and discussed performance data at its other regularly scheduled quarterly meetings throughout the year. The Board therefore took into account the performance data, presentations and discussions (written and oral) that were provided at the Meeting and in prior meetings over time in evaluating fund performance, including management's analysis of a fund's performance with particular focus on funds that met certain challenged performance measurements as determined pursuant to a methodology approved by the Board or additional measurements as determined by management's investment analysts. As various Nuveen funds have modified their portfolio teams and/or made significant changes to their portfolio strategies over time, the Board reviewed, among other things, certain tracking performance data over specific periods comparing performance before and after such changes.
The Board considered that performance data reflects performance over a specified period which may differ significantly depending on the ending dates selected, particularly during periods of market volatility. Further, the Board considered that shareholders may evaluate performance based on their own respective holding periods which may differ from the performance periods reviewed by the Board and lead to differing results.
Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (continued)
In its evaluation, the Board reviewed fund performance results from different perspectives. In general, subject to certain exceptions, the Board reviewed both absolute and relative fund performance over the various time periods and considered performance results in light of a fund's investment objective(s), strategies and risks. With respect to the relative performance, the Board considered fund performance in comparison to the performance of peer funds (the "Performance Peer Group"), subject to certain exceptions, and recognized and/or customized benchmarks (i.e.,generally benchmarks derived from multiple recognized benchmarks). In reviewing such comparative performance, the Board was cognizant of the inherent limitations of such data which can make meaningful performance comparisons generally difficult. As an illustration, differences in the composition of the Performance Peer Group, the investment objective(s), strategies, dates of fund inception and other characteristics of the peers in the Performance Peer Group, the level, type and cost of leverage (if any) of the peers, and the varying sizes of peers all may contribute to differences in the performance results of a Performance Peer Group compared to the applicable fund. With respect to relative performance of a fund compared to a benchmark index, differences, among other things, in the investment objective(s) and strategies of a fund and the benchmark (particularly an actively managed fund that does not directly follow an index) as well as the costs of operating a fund would necessarily contribute to differences in performance results and limit the value of the comparative performance information. To assist the Board in its review of the comparability of the relative performance, management generally has ranked the relevancy of the Performance Peer Groups to the Funds as low, medium or high. 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 evaluated performance in light of various relevant factors which may include, among other things, general market conditions, issuer-specific information, asset class information, leverage and fund cash flows. The Board considered that long-term performance could be impacted by even one period of significant outperformance or underperformance and that a single investment theme could disproportionately affect performance. Further, the Board considered that market and economic conditions may significantly impact a fund's performance, particularly over shorter periods, and such performance may be more reflective of such economic or market events and not necessarily reflective of management skill. Although the Board reviews short-, intermediate- and longer-term performance data, the Board considered that longer periods of performance may reflect full market cycles.
In their review from year to year, the Board Members consider and may place different emphasis on the relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. In evaluating performance, the Board focused particular attention on funds with less favorable performance records. However, depending on the facts and circumstances, including any differences between the respective fund and its benchmark and/or Performance Peer Group, the Board may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that its performance may be below that of its benchmark and/or peer group for certain periods. With respect to any funds for which the Board has identified performance issues, the Board seeks to monitor such funds more closely until performance improves, discuss with the Adviser the reasons for such results, consider whether any steps are necessary or appropriate to address such issues, discuss and evaluate the potential consequences of such steps and review the results of any steps undertaken.
The performance determinations with respect to each Fund are summarized below.
● For Nuveen Global Equity Income Fund, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one-,three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023 and ranked in the second quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-yearperiod ended December 31, 2023 and first quartile for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023. In addition, although the Fund's performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the one-and three-year periods ended March 31, 2024, the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the five-year period ended March 31, 2024 and ranked in the second quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-and three-year periods and first quartile for the five-year period ended March 31, 2024. 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 Nuveen International Value Fund, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one-,three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023 and ranked in the second quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the three-year period and first quartile for the one-and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023. In addition, although the Fund's performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the one-yearperiod ended March 31, 2024, the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2024 and ranked in the second quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-,three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2024. 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
● For Nuveen Large Cap Value Opportunities Fund (formerly, Nuveen Large Cap Value Fund), the Board considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one-,three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024. The Fund also ranked in the second quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-yearperiod ended December 31, 2023 and first quartile for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023. Further, the Fund ranked in the third quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-yearperiod, first quartile for the three-year period and second quartile for the five-year period ended March 31, 2024. 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 Nuveen Multi Cap Value Fund, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one-,three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024. In addition, the Fund ranked in the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-,three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023. Further, the Fund ranked in the third quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-yearperiod, first quartile for the three-year period and second quartile for the five-year period ended March 31, 2024. 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 Nuveen Small Cap Value Opportunities Fund, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one-,three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024. The Fund also ranked in the second quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023 and first quartile for the three-year period ended December 31, 2023. In addition, the Fund ranked in the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-,three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2024. 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 Nuveen Small/Mid Cap Value Fund, the Board considered that although the Fund's performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the one-yearperiod ended December 31, 2023, the Fund ranked in the third quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-yearperiod ended December 31, 2023 and outperformed its benchmark and ranked in the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023. The Fund also outperformed its benchmark and ranked in the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-,three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2024. 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 its annual review, the Board generally reviewed, among other things, the contractual management fee and the net/actual management fee (i.e.,the management fee after taking into consideration fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any) paid by a Fund to the Adviser in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board also reviewed information about other expenses and the total operating expense ratio of each Fund (after any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements). More specifically, the Board Members reviewed, among other things, each Fund's management fee rates and net total expense ratio in relation to similar data for a comparable universe of funds (the "Expense Universe") and for a more focused subset of comparable funds (the "Expense Group") established by Broadridge (subject to certain exceptions). The Board Members reviewed the methodology Broadridge employed to establish its Expense Universe and Expense Group (as applicable) and considered that differences between the applicable fund and its respective Expense Universe and/or Expense Group, as well as changes to the composition of the Expense Universe and/or Expense Group from year to year, may limit some of the value of the comparative data. The Board Members also considered that it can be difficult to compare management fees among funds as there are variations in the services that are included for the fees paid. The Board Members took these limitations and differences into account when reviewing comparative peer data.
Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (continued)
The Board Members also considered a Fund's operating expense ratio as it more directly reflected a shareholder's total costs in investing in the respective fund. In their review, the Board Members considered, in particular, each fund with a net total expense ratio meeting certain expense or fee criteria when compared to its Expense Universe and Expense Group (if any) and an analysis as to the factors contributing to each such fund's relative net total expense ratio.
The Board Members also considered, in relevant part, a Fund's management fee and net total expense ratio in light of the Fund's performance history, including reviewing certain funds identified by management and/or the Board as having a higher net total expense ratio or management fee compared to their respective peers coupled with experiencing periods of challenged performance and considering the reasons for such comparative positions.
In their evaluation of the fee arrangements for the Funds, the Board Members also reviewed the management fee schedules and the expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers agreed to by the Adviser for the respective fund (if any). In its review, the Board considered that the management fees of the Nuveen 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. As indicated above, the Board approved a revised fee schedule which would reduce and streamline the asset thresholds necessary to meet breakpoints in the complex-level fee component. The Board considered that management anticipated approximately $50 million in savings for Nuveen fund shareholders as a result of the revised fee schedule as well as additional estimated savings over time. The Board further considered management's representation that there will be no increase to any Nuveen fund's respective advisory agreement fee rate as a result of the revised complex-level fee schedule.
In its review, the Board considered that across the Nuveen fund and TC fund complex, management estimated that fund-level breakpoints resulted in approximately $82.5 million in reduced fees overall in 2023 and expense caps and reimbursements generated approximately an additional $91 million in savings to shareholders. In addition, the Board considered that management determined that the Nuveen funds achieved additional fee reductions of approximately $49 million due to the complex-wide management fee structure in 2023.
With respect to the Sub-Adviser,the Board also considered, among other things, the sub-advisoryfee schedule paid to the Sub-Adviserin light of the sub-advisoryservices provided to the respective Fund. In its review, the Board considered that the compensation paid to the Sub-Adviseris the responsibility of NFAL, not the Funds.
The Board's considerations regarding the comparative fee data for each of the Funds are set forth below. With respect to the quartile rankings noted below, the first quartile represents the range of funds with the lowest management fee rate or net total expense ratio, as applicable, and the fourth quartile represents the range of funds with the highest management fee rate or net total expense ratio, as applicable. The Board considered that Broadridge only calculates quartiles if a minimum number of peers is available and therefore quartile rankings may not be available for certain Expense Groups and/or Expense Universes.
● For Nuveen Global Equity Income Fund, the Fund's contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio ranked in the second quartile, first quartile and first quartile of its Expense Group, respectively. In addition, the Fund's contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio ranked in the third quartile, second quartile and second quartile of its Expense Universe, respectively. Further, the Fund's actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio were below the Expense Group median.
● For Nuveen International Value Fund, the Fund's contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio each ranked in the second quartile of its Expense Group, respectively. In addition, the Fund's contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio ranked in the second quartile, first quartile and third quartile of its Expense Universe, respectively. Further, the Fund's actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio were below the Expense Group median.
● For Nuveen Large Cap Value Opportunities Fund, the Fund's contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio ranked in the second quartile, first quartile and second quartile of its Expense Group, respectively. In addition, the Fund's contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio ranked in the second quartile, first quartile and second quartile of its Expense Universe, respectively. Further, the Fund's actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio were below the Expense Group median.
● For Nuveen Multi Cap Value Fund, although the Fund's net total expense ratio ranked in the fourth quartile of its Expense Group and Expense Universe, the Fund's contractual management fee rate and actual management fee rate each ranked in the third quartile of its Expense Group and Expense Universe, respectively. Further, the Fund's actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio were above the Expense Group median.
● For Nuveen Small Cap Value Opportunities Fund, the Fund's contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio ranked in the first quartile, second quartile and second quartile of its Expense Group, respectively. In addition, the Fund's contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio each ranked in the second quartile of its Expense Universe. Further, the Fund's actual
|
management fee rate and net total expense ratio were below the Expense Group median.
|
● For Nuveen Small/Mid Cap Value Fund, the Fund's contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio each ranked in the second quartile of its Expense Group, respectively. In addition, the Fund's contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio ranked in the second quartile, second quartile and third quartile of its Expense Universe, respectively. Further, the Fund's actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio were below the Expense Group median.
Based on its review of the information provided, the Board determined that each Fund's management fees (as applicable) to a Fund Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund.
2. Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients
In evaluating the appropriateness of fees, the Board also considered that the Adviser, affiliated sub-advisersand/or their affiliate(s) provide investment management services to other types of clients which may include: separately managed accounts, retail managed accounts, foreign funds (UCITS), other investment companies (as sub-advisers),limited partnerships and collective investment trusts. The Board reviewed the equal weighted average fee or other fee data for the other types of clients managed in a similar manner to certain of the Nuveen funds and TC funds. The Board considered the Adviser's rationale for the differences in the management fee rates of the funds compared to the management fee rates charged to these other types of clients. In this regard, the Board considered that differences, including but not limited to, the amount, type and level of services provided by the Adviser to the funds compared to that provided to other clients as well as differences in investment policies; regulatory, disclosure and governance requirements; servicing relationships with vendors; the manner of managing such assets; product structure; investor profiles; and account sizes all may contribute to variations in relative fee rates. Further, differences in the client base, governing bodies, distribution, jurisdiction and operational complexities also would contribute to variations in management fees assessed the funds compared to foreign fund clients. In addition, differences in the level of advisory services required for passively managed funds also contribute to differences in the management fee levels of such funds compared to actively managed funds. As a general matter, higher fee levels reflect higher levels of service provided by the Adviser, increased investment management complexity, greater product management requirements, and higher levels of business risk or some combination of these factors. The Board considered the wide range of services in addition to investment management that the Adviser had provided to the funds compared to other types of clients as well as the increased entrepreneurial, legal and regulatory risks that the Adviser incurs in sponsoring and managing the funds. The Board further considered that a sub-adviser'sfee is essentially for portfolio management services and therefore more comparable to the fees it receives for retail wrap accounts and other external sub-advisorymandates. The Board concluded that the varying levels of fees were reasonable given, among other things, the more extensive services, regulatory requirements and legal liabilities, and the entrepreneurial, legal and regulatory risks incurred in sponsoring and advising a registered investment company compared to that required in advising other types of clients.
3. Profitability of Fund Advisers
In their review, the Board Members considered various profitability data relating to the Fund Advisers' services to the Nuveen funds.
With respect to the Nuveen funds, the Board Members reviewed the estimated profitability information of Nuveen as a result of its advisory services to the Nuveen funds overall as well as profitability data of certain other asset management firms. Such profitability information included, among other things, gross and net revenue margins (excluding distribution) of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen Investments") for services to the Nuveen funds on a pre-taxand after-taxbasis for the 2023 and 2022 calendar years as well as the revenues earned (less any expense reimbursements/fee waivers) and expenses incurred by Nuveen Investments for its advisory activities to the Nuveen funds (excluding distribution) for the 2023 and 2022 calendar years. The Board Members also considered the rationale for the change in Nuveen's profitability from 2022 to 2023. In addition, the Board reviewed the revenues, expenses and operating margin (pre-and after-tax)NFAL derived from its exchange-traded fund product line for the 2023 and 2022 calendar years.
In developing the profitability data, the Board Members considered the subjective nature of calculating profitability as the information is not audited and is necessarily dependent on cost allocation methodologies to allocate expenses throughout the complex and among the various advisory products. Given there is no single universally recognized expense allocation methodology and that other reasonable and valid allocation methodologies could be employed and could lead to significantly different results, the Board reviewed, among other things, a description of the cost allocation methodologies employed to develop the financial information, a summary of the refinements Nuveen had made to the methodology that had occurred over the years from 2010 through 2021 to provide Nuveen's profitability analysis, and a historical expense analysis of Nuveen Investments' revenues, expenses and pre-taxnet revenue margins derived from its advisory services to the Nuveen funds (excluding distribution) for the calendar years from 2017 through 2023. The Board of the Nuveen funds had also appointed two Board Members to serve as the Board's liaisons to meet with representatives of NFAL and review the development of the profitability data and to report to the full Board.
In addition, the Board considered certain comparative operating margin data. In this regard, the Board reviewed the operating margins of Nuveen Investments compared to the adjusted operating margins of a peer group of asset management firms with
Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (continued)
publicly available data and the most comparable assets under management (based on asset size and asset composition) to Nuveen. The Board considered that the operating margins of the peers were adjusted generally to address that certain services provided by the peers were not provided by Nuveen. The Board also reviewed, among other things, the net revenue margins (pre-tax)of Nuveen Investments on a company-wide basis and the net revenue margins (pre-tax)of Nuveen Investments derived from its services to the Nuveen funds only (including and excluding distribution) compared to the adjusted operating margins of the peer group for each calendar year from 2014 to 2023. In their review of the comparative data, the Board Members considered the limitations of the comparative data given that peer data is not generally public and the calculation of profitability is subjective and affected by numerous factors (such as types of funds a peer manages, its business mix, its cost of capital, the numerous assumptions underlying the methodology used to allocate expenses and other factors) that can have a significant impact on the results.
Aside from the profitability data, the Board considered that NFAL and TAL are affiliates of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America ("TIAA"). NFAL is a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC, the investment management arm of TIAA, and TAL is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of TIAA. Accordingly, the Board also reviewed a balance sheet for TIAA reflecting its assets, liabilities and capital and contingency reserves for the 2023 and 2022 calendar years to consider the financial strength of TIAA. The Board considered the benefit of an investment adviser and its parent with significant resources, particularly during periods of market volatility. The Board also considered the reinvestments the Adviser, its parent and/or other affiliates made into their business through, among other things, the investment of seed capital in certain funds, initiatives in international expansion, investments in infrastructure and continued investments in enhancements to technological capabilities.
The Board Members considered the profitability of the Sub-Adviserfrom its relationships with the respective Nuveen funds. In this regard, the Board Members reviewed, among other things, the Sub-Adviser'srevenues, expenses and net revenue margins (pre-and after-tax)for its advisory activities to the respective Nuveen funds for the calendar years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Board Members also reviewed a profitability analysis reflecting the revenues, expenses and revenue margin (pre-and after-tax)grouped by similar types of funds (such as municipal, taxable fixed income, equity, real assets and index/asset allocation) for the Sub-Adviserfor the calendar years ending December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Board Members also considered the indirect benefits NFAL or the Sub-Adviserreceived that were directly attributable to the management of the applicable funds as discussed in further detail below. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied that each Fund Adviser's level of profitability from its relationship with each Nuveen fund was not unreasonable over various time frames in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided.
D. Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale
The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the funds in the fund complex, including the Funds, whether these economies of scale have been appropriately shared with such funds and whether there is potential for realization of further economies of scale. Although the Board considered that economies of scale are difficult to measure with any precision and the rates at which certain expenses are incurred may not decline with a rise in assets, the Board considered that there are various methods that may be employed to help share the benefits of economies of scale, including, among other things, through the use of breakpoints in the management fee schedule, fee waivers and/or expense limitations, the pricing of funds at scale at inception and investments in the Adviser's business which can enhance the services provided to the applicable funds for the fees paid. The Board considered that the Adviser has generally employed one or more of these various methods among the applicable funds.
In this regard, the Board considered, as noted above, that the management fee of NFAL generally was comprised of a fund-level component and a complex-level component each with its own breakpoint schedule, subject to certain exceptions. 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 eligible 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. As summarized above, the Board approved a new complex-level breakpoint schedule which would simplify and reduce 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. Among other things, the assets of certain TC funds advised by TAL would be phased into the calculation of the complex-wide assets in determining the complex-level fee over a ten-yearperiod. The Board considered the cost savings and additional potential sharing of economies of scale as a result of the reduced complex-level breakpoint schedule and the additional assets from more eligible funds in calculating the assets of the complex for determining the complex-level fee component. The Board reviewed the projected shareholder savings derived from such modifications over a ten-yearperiod from 2024 to 2033. The Board considered management's representation that there will be no increase to any fund's respective advisory agreement fee rate.
In addition to the fund-level and complex-level fee schedules (if applicable), the Board Members considered the temporary and/or permanent expense caps (if any) applicable to a Fund. The Board considered that such waivers and reimbursements applicable to the respective funds are another means for potential economies of scale to be shared with shareholders of such funds and can provide a protection from an increase in expenses if the assets of the applicable funds decline.
The Board Members also considered the continued reinvestment in Nuveen/TIAA's business to enhance its capabilities and services to the benefit of its various clients. The Board understood that many of these investments were not specific to
individual funds, but rather incurred across a variety of products and services pursuant to which the family of funds as a whole may benefit. The Board further considered that the Adviser and its affiliates have provided certain additional services, including, but not limited to, services required by new regulations and regulatory interpretations, without raising advisory fees to the funds, and this was also a means of sharing economies of scale with the funds and their shareholders. The Board considered the Adviser's and/or its affiliates' ongoing efforts to streamline the product line-up,among other things, to create more scaled funds which may help improve both expense and trading economies.
Based on its review, the Board was satisfied that the current fee arrangements together with the reinvestment in management's business appropriately shared any economies of scale with shareholders.
E. Indirect Benefits
The Board Members received and considered information regarding various indirect benefits the respective Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationship with the funds in the fund complex, including the Funds. These benefits included, among other things, economies of scale to the extent the Adviser or its affiliates share investment resources and/or personnel with other clients of the Adviser. The funds may also be used as investment options for other products or businesses offered by the Adviser and/or its affiliates, such as variable products, fund of funds and 529 education savings plans, and affiliates of the Adviser may serve as sub-advisersto various funds in which case all advisory and sub-advisoryfees generated by such funds stay within Nuveen.
Further, the funds may pay the Adviser and/or its affiliates for other services, such as distribution. In this regard, the Board Members considered that an affiliate of the Adviser serves as principal underwriter providing distribution and/or shareholder services to the open-endfunds for which it may be compensated. The Board Members also considered that certain share classes of the open-endfunds (subject to certain exceptions) pay 12b-1fees, some of which may be retained by the Adviser's affiliate. In addition, the Board Members considered that the Adviser and Sub-Advisermay utilize soft dollar brokerage arrangements attributable to the respective funds to obtain research and other services for any or all of their clients, although the Board Members also considered reimbursements of such costs by the Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser.
The Adviser and its affiliates may also benefit from the advisory relationships with the funds in the fund complex to the extent this relationship results in potential investors viewing the TIAA group of companies as a leading retirement plan provider in the academic and nonprofit market and a single source for all their financial service needs. The Adviser and/or its affiliates may further benefit to the extent that they have pricing or other information regarding vendors the funds utilize in establishing arrangements with such vendors for other products.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that any indirect benefits received by a Fund Adviser as a result of its relationship with the 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-importantor 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-yearperiod.
