Policy Purpose and Statement

Proxy
voting is the primary means by which shareholders may influence a publicly traded company’s governance and operations and thus createthe potential for value and positive long-term investment performance. In certain cases, the Advisers may engage with Portfolio
Companies as part of their process to make informed vote decisions and generally consider various factors including insights gained through
engagement where that occurs. While the Advisers may generally share their views on a particular topic, these are not for the purpose
of changing control of the issuer.

When
an SEC registered investment adviser has proxy voting authority, the adviser has a fiduciary duty to vote proxies in the best interests
of its clients and must not subrogate its clients’ interests to its own. In their capacity as fiduciaries and investment advisers,
Advisers, vote proxies for the PortfolioCompanies held by their respective clients, including
investment companies and other pooled investment vehicles, institutional and retail separate
accounts, and other clients as applicable. The Advisers have adopted this Policy, the Nuveen Proxy Voting Guidelines, and the Nuveen
Proxy Voting Conflicts of Interest Policy for voting the proxies of the Portfolio Companies they manage. The Advisers leverage the expertise
and services of an internal group referred to as Nuveen’s Stewardship Group to administer the Advisers’ proxy voting. The
Stewardship Group adheres to the Advisers’ Proxy Voting Guidelines which are reasonablydesigned
to ensure that the Advisers vote client securitiesin the best interests of the Advisers’
clients.
