## Chair's Letter to Shareholders
![LOGO](g447399g99h99.jpg)

**Dear Shareholders,** 

With more economic indicators pointing to a broadening contraction across the world's economies, the conversation has shifted from debating whether a global recession would happen to considering how long and severe a recession would be. Higher than expected inflation has made the outcome more unpredictable, as it has dampened consumer sentiment, pushed central banks into raising interest rates more aggressively and contributed to considerable turbulence in the markets over the past year.

Inflation has surged partially due to pandemic-related supply chain bottlenecks, exacerbated by Russia's war in Ukraine and China's recurring COVID-19 lockdowns throughout the year until China's zero-COVID policy effectively ended in December 2022. This necessitated forceful responses from the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) and other central banks, who signaled their intentions to slow inflation even if it meant tolerating materially slower economic growth and some softening in the labor market. In March 2022, the Fed began the fastest interest rate hiking cycle in its history, raising the target fed funds rate by 4.50% over a ten-month span to a range of 4.50% to 4.75% by January 2023. While inflation began to ease over the second half of 2022, it remains far higher than the Fed's inflation target. Fed officials are closely monitoring inflation data and other economic measures to modify their rate setting policy based upon these factors and has more recently slowed the pace of monetary tightening. But additional rate hikes are expected until the Fed sees sustainable progress toward its inflation goals. Despite contracting in the first half of 2022, U.S. gross domestic product grew 2.1% in the year overall compared to 2021. Consumer spending remained relatively resilient in 2022, supported by a surprisingly strong labor market that suggested not all areas of the economy were weakening in unison.

While markets will likely continue fluctuating with the daily headlines, we encourage investors to keep a long-term perspective. To learn more about how well your portfolio is aligned to your time horizon, risk tolerance and investment goals, consider reviewing it with your financial professional.

On behalf of the other members of the Nuveen Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.

Sincerely,

*Here the Funds' portfolio management teams review U.S. and global economic and market conditions, key investment strategies and the performance of the Funds for the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2022. For more information on the Funds' investment objectives and policies, please refer to the prospectus.* 

**What factors affected the U.S. and global economy and financial market conditions during the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2022?** 

In 2022, the U.S. economy grew at a pace of 2.1%, normalizing from its rapid post-pandemic recovery in 2021 when it expanded 5.9%, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. Although a moderation was largely expected, gross domestic product (GDP) unexpectedly contracted in the first half of the year. China's Zero-COVID restrictions (later lifted in December 2022) and the Russia-Ukraine war worsened existing pandemic-related supply chain disruptions and drove food and energy prices higher. Inflation rose more than expected over much of 2022, which pressured global central banks to respond with more aggressive measures and increased recession risks.

Beginning in March 2022, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised its target fed funds rate seven times during the reporting period, bringing it from near zero at the start of the year to a range of 4.25% to 4.50%. In early 2023, after the close of the reporting period, the Fed raised its rate by 0.25% to a range of 4.50% to 4.75%. The Fed's activity led to significant volatility in bond and stock markets in 2022. In addition, it contributed to a surge in the U.S. dollar's value relative to major world currencies, which acts as a headwind to the profits of international companies and U.S. domestic companies with overseas earnings. Global currency and bond markets were further roiled in September 2022 by an unpopular fiscal spending proposal in the U.K. but recovered after the plans were abandoned.

Inflation and higher borrowing costs weighed on consumer confidence and spending and notably cooled the housing market in 2022. However, the labor market, another key gauge of the economy's health, remained resilient. By July 2022, the economy had recovered the 22 million jobs lost since the beginning of the pandemic. As of December 2022, the unemployment rate remained near its pre-pandemic low of 3.5%, although monthly job growth appeared to be slowing. The strong labor market and wage gains helped U.S. GDP return to expansion in the third and fourth quarters of 2022, growing at an annualized rate of 3.2% and 2.9%, respectively.

The global infrastructure sector significantly outperformed other areas within global stock and bond markets that experienced sharp declines during the reporting period. The highly cyclical pipeline industry was the top performer for the second year in a row based on rising energy prices and decreased supply of crude oil. The U.S. real estate investment trust (REIT) common equity segment underperformed the broader equity market decline as investor concerns shifted from inflation and rising rates to the potential for a recession. Global REITs also performed poorly, with returns slightly below their U.S. peers. The office property segment was under

significant pressure because usage remains lower than pre-pandemic levels, and the demand outlook remains uncertain, particularly for central business district office space. The apartment segment also faltered as rental rates began to moderate after a long period of substantial increases.

The fixed income market offered no respite from the year's equity market sell-off, as U.S. Treasury yields rose sharply during the reporting period. Returns were broadly negative across fixed income asset classes. In the high yield corporate market, spreads widened but the generally shorter duration of the asset class helped it hold up better than more rate-sensitive sectors such as Treasuries and investment grade corporate bonds. The high yield segment also benefited from strong corporate earnings. New issuance was light and retail demand persisted. Spreads widened even more in the highly rate-sensitive perpetual preferred securities segment, which lagged both the high yield corporate market and infrastructure equities, but outperformed REIT equities.

**Nuveen Global Infrastructure Fund** 

**What key strategies were used to manage the Fund during the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2022?** 

The investment objective of the Fund is long-term growth of capital and income. The Fund seeks growth opportunity from global economic development by investing in U.S. and non-U.S. infrastructure companies that own or operate vital structures, facilities and services. The Fund is structured using a number of core infrastructure companies that the portfolio management team believes should provide long-term outperformance versus the market, combined with more opportunistic holdings that are undervalued by the market in the short term. The Fund has exposure around the globe to a mixture of holdings that represent significant value, as well as positions in companies that may prove to be more stable in a slowly growing global economy.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 served as a catalyst for the portfolio management team to reduce the Fund's exposure to more cyclical areas within infrastructure, such as toll roads and airports. As the reporting period progressed, the increasing evidence of a global recession caused the portfolio management team to continue to maintain an underweight to these areas. The portfolio management team added to more defensive areas of infrastructure, particularly electric utilities with a focus on U.S.-domiciled, regulated companies. Given the benchmark's heavy concentration in utilities, the Fund remained underweight. Toward the end of the reporting period, exposure to waste and pipelines, which typically perform well during elevated periods of inflation, was increased. From a geographic standpoint, the portfolio management team's outlook for North America was the most favorable, leading the Fund to maintain its highest U.S. exposure since inception. Concerns about the energy crisis and impending European recession precluded the Fund from adding exposure in Europe.

**How did the Fund perform during the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2022?** 

For the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2022, the Fund's Class A Shares at NAV significantly underperformed the S&P Global Infrastructure Index (Net). For purposes of this Performance Commentary, references to relative performance are in comparison to the S&P Global Infrastructure Index (Net).

The Fund's underperformance was driven primarily by asset allocation. The technology infrastructure sector, which includes cellular tower and data center companies, was the most significant detractor from relative performance. Approximately 12% of the Fund's portfolio was invested in the sector, while the index had no representation. The cash flows of these companies are linked to long-term contracts, which typically helps during times of elevated uncertainty and volatility. However, this same factor can weigh on their share prices during periods of rising interest rates. Coupled with already elevated valuations, the rapid rate increase sparked a double-digit decline in the technology infrastructure sector, including large Fund holdings such as American Tower Corporation, Crown Castle Inc., Cellnex Telecom S.A. and SBA Communications Corporation. The portfolio management team remains committed to the overall sector and maintained these holdings because the cellular tower and data center industries are somewhat insulated in the event of a recession. Secular growth trends remain in place and support relatively strong demand for asset utilization.

Allocation and selection in toll roads also detracted from relative performance. The Fund has maintained a significant underweight to Italian transportation infrastructure company Atlantia S.p.A., the largest weight in the index, since the Morandi bridge collapse in Genoa. However, shares advanced sharply after the Italian government approved a takeover bid for Atlantia and the company was taken private in December 2022.

------

Partially offsetting the underperformance was the Fund's underweight versus the benchmark in the electric utilities sector, which lagged the overall infrastructure universe. Elevated inflation and higher interest rates kept returns in check for electric utility companies because of their slower growing, more rate-sensitive business models. More specifically, the portfolio management team significantly underweighted European utilities, most notably E.ON SE and Enel SpA, which were under additional pressure following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Shares of European utilities dropped sharply because a substantial amount of their natural gas has traditionally been procured from Russia.

**Nuveen Global Real Estate Securities Fund** 

**What key strategies were used to manage the Fund during the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2022?** 

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation with a secondary objective to provide current income. The Fund invests in income-producing equities of companies engaged in the real estate industry. Applying a fundamentally based, relative value process, the portfolio management team diversifies across geographies and sectors of listed global commercial real estate by investing in common stocks, preferred securities and other equity securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. companies in the real estate industry, including real estate investment trusts (REITs) and similar REIT-like entities. Equity securities in which the Fund may invest may be of any market capitalization, including small and mid-capitalization companies.

Throughout the reporting period, the Fund's portfolio management team generally maintained a bias toward higher-quality, higher market cap companies and assets within the REIT sector, with significant consideration given to companies' balance sheet dynamics. Specifically, the portfolio management team preferred companies with lower overall leverage and less debt maturing in the short term because rising interest rates have increased the cost of financing. Given slowing economic activity and the potential for a recession in the U.S., the Fund continued to shift out of some shorter-lease-duration sub-property types and into more defensive groups with longer-term lease structures, adding exposure to the defensive net lease category funded by a reduction in the industrial space. However, the Fund remained overweight in the industrial sector, given the underlying strength in fundamentals for the group because of high occupancy rates. The industrial sector also features in-place rents that remain well below market, providing the opportunity for internal growth as those leases expire.

The Fund increased its U.S. exposure while trimming European exposure because of continuing fundamental deterioration in that region. The Fund also increased exposure to Japan after the country relaxed its COVID protocols and China discontinued its strict zero-COVID policy.

**How did the Fund perform during the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2022?** 

For the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2022, the Fund's Class A Shares at NAV performed in line with the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Index (Net). For purposes of this Performance Commentary, references to relative performance are in comparison to the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Index (Net).

The Fund's security selection positively contributed to relative performance, both at the property type and country level. Selection was particularly favorable among North American holdings, as well as the industrial and office property types. The industrial sector continued to demonstrate the strongest underlying fundamentals of any sub-property type. Secular tailwinds from ongoing retail ecommerce market share gains continued to boost demand for fulfillment and distribution facilities, while supply remained well in check. An overweight to Summit Industrial Income REIT contributed the most to relative performance in the segment. In early November 2022, shares rallied following a takeout offer from two private companies at a significant premium. The Fund continued to maintain this position at the end of the reporting period.

An underweight and security selection within the office group also contributed to the Fund's relative performance. The future of the office sector is perhaps more uncertain than any other segment of real estate because of lasting impacts from the COVID pandemic. Return-to-work dynamics have varied among markets and industries, and occupancy levels have not fully recovered. Those challenges, coupled with the segment's longer-term leases that demonstrate higher interest rate sensitivity, pressured shares in the sector significantly lower.

------

**Portfolio Managers' Comments** (continued)

The Fund's underweight in Asia partially offset these favorable impacts, especially Hong Kong shares, which performed strongly during the reporting period. Security selection in real estate management and development also detracted from relative performance, particularly an overweight position in Pan-European developer VGP SA. The company has a significant number of logistics complexes and semi-industrial park developments underway, but market volatility and slowing buyer commitments led to uncertainty surrounding the pricing of these assets. This negatively impacted company earnings and the ability to finance future developments, which pushed shares lower. The portfolio management team believed the market overreacted and maintained the Fund's overweight in VGP based on attractive valuation.

Security selection and an underweight in the net lease property type, particularly Realty Income Corporation, also detracted on a relative basis. The net lease group is typically more defensive and often performs well relative to other sectors when real estate struggles, which was the case throughout the year. Although the Fund owned Realty Income, it represented a much larger weight in the benchmark and outperformed the overall sector. The portfolio management team continued to maintain underweight exposure in the Fund throughout the reporting period and believed other companies in the segment offered superior relative value.

**Nuveen Real Asset Income Fund** 

**What key strategies were used to manage the Fund during the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2022?** 

The Fund seeks to provide a high level of income and the potential for capital appreciation by investing in a global portfolio of infrastructure and commercial real estate related securities (i.e. real assets) across the capital structure and around the world. These securities include a combination of infrastructure and real estate common stock, infrastructure and real estate preferred stock, and infrastructure and real estate related debt.

The Fund's portfolio management team attempts to add value versus the comparative blended performance benchmark in two ways: by re-allocating among the five main security types when the team sees value at differing times and, more importantly, through individual security selection. The Russia-Ukraine war, surging inflation and rapidly rising interest rates served as catalysts for rebalancing the Fund's sector exposures to a more defensive posture early in 2022. Overall equity exposure was reduced from an overweight to an underweight because of both market movement and portfolio management decisions. The portfolio management team reduced the infrastructure equity exposure following the segment's strong relative performance. Real estate equity exposure declined because of market action and a decision to lower industrial exposure, an area that can be sensitive to the economic cycle. As the reporting period progressed, the Fund's exposure to preferred stock also shifted to an underweight because of equity conversions and calls, lack of new issuance, and the portfolio management team's preference for corporate investment grade debt. The Fund's debt exposure was increased, given the likelihood for continued equity market volatility, combined with the attractive yields and pricing available in this segment of the capital structure. As yields increased throughout the reporting period, the portfolio management team was able to move up the quality spectrum within debt exposure, including some investment grade credits, while not sacrificing income. The Fund ended the reporting period with its debt allocation as its largest overweight.

**How did the Fund perform during the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2022?** 

For the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2022, the Fund's Class A Shares at NAV outperformed the Real Asset Income Blended Benchmark, which consists of: 1) 25% FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Index (Net), 2) 22% S&P Global Infrastructure Index (Net), 3) 20% ICE Hybrid & Preferred Infrastructure 7% Issuer Constrained Custom Index, 4) 20% Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, and 5) 13% FTSE Nareit Preferred Stock Index. For purposes of this Performance Commentary, references to relative performance are in comparison to the Real Asset Income Blended Benchmark.

During the reporting period, the Fund's relative performance was broadly positive with all five segments represented in its portfolio contributing to the outperformance, led by the real estate and infrastructure common equity segments. Despite being the worst-performing segment in absolute returns during the reporting period, real estate equity contributed the most to the Fund's relative performance. Within real estate, an underweight in the apartment sector added the most value as the segment struggled throughout the reporting period, declining as rental rates began to moderate after a long period of significant increases. Security selection in the industrial area was also beneficial as the Fund holdings significantly outperformed the blended benchmark.

------

Infrastructure common equity also aided the Fund's relative performance because of security selection and an overweight to the more defensive asset class early in the reporting period. The largest contributor was the Fund's significant overweight to pipeline common equity within the segment. Pipeline companies continued to perform well on the back of the global economic recovery. These companies have also benefited from better capital discipline and margin improvement. Additionally, the pipeline group has seen more investor interest because of higher inflation, given the more cyclical nature of these businesses, along with higher correlation to rising commodity prices, especially crude oil and natural gas. The Fund's overweight to Williams Companies Inc. and an out-of-index position in Enbridge Inc. provided most of the relative performance benefit. The Fund continued to maintain both positions at the end of the reporting period.

Partially offsetting the outperformance was an underweight to transportation stocks, particularly airports, that detracted from relative performance. The airport segment represents a material weight in the infrastructure index, while the Fund typically contains limited or no exposure because of the companies' lower dividend yields. This structural underweight detracted because airports provided some of the best total returns over the reporting period. Warmer winter weather, which dampened energy prices, led to a more optimistic market in Europe where many airport companies are located.

The Fund continued using interest rate futures to partially hedge the portfolio against movements in interest rates. The interest rate futures contributed to relative performance during the reporting period.

**Nuveen Real Estate Securities Fund** 

**What key strategies were used to manage the Fund during the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2022?** 

The Fund seeks to provide above average current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing in income-producing equities of companies engaged in the real estate industry. Applying a fundamentally based, relative value process, the portfolio management team diversifies across geographies and sectors of listed U.S. commercial real estate.

The traditionally defensive public commercial real estate group fell nearly 25% in 2022, weighed down by investor concerns surrounding inflation, higher interest rates and the potential for a recession, underperforming other defensive sectors and broader markets during the year's sharp equity market decline. As a result, the Fund's portfolio management team continued to emphasize higher quality, higher market cap companies and assets within the REIT sector throughout the reporting period. Because of rapidly rising interest rates, the Fund was shifted toward companies with lower overall leverage and less debt maturing in the short term because of the increased cost of financing. The portfolio management team lowered weights in some shorter-lease-duration sub-property types, while adding to more defensive groups with longer-term lease structures such as the net lease category. The portfolio management team continued to seek out companies with higher potential earnings growth rates relative to peers and those that still have the potential to raise dividends in 2023.

**How did the Fund perform during the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2022?** 

For the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2022, the Fund's Class A Shares at NAV performed in line with the Real Estate Securities Blended Benchmark, which consists of: 1) 50% MSCI US REIT Index and 2) 50% MSCI USA IMI REITs Index. For purposes of this Performance Commentary, references to relative performance are in comparison to the Real Estate Securities Blended Benchmark.

Security selection contributed to relative performance, led by the Fund's exposures in gaming. The Fund's gaming holdings collectively posted double-digit gains for the year in the midst of the sharp real estate market decline. Overweight positions in Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. and VICI Properties Inc. contributed the most to relative performance. These companies benefited from the strong credit dynamics of their tenants, their longer-term lease structures, and an ongoing recovery in U.S. consumer behavior following the COVID-19 pandemic. Both holdings remained in the portfolio at the end of the reporting period. Security selection also aided results in the self-storage sector, driven by the Fund's underweight position in Extra Space Storage. The company underperformed following downward revisions to its full-year earnings guidance while its peers raised guidance. Additionally, Extra Space utilized more floating-rate debt to finance its operations, which has been a headwind given rising interest rates. The Fund continued to maintain a significant underweight at the end of the reporting period.

------

**Portfolio Managers' Comments** (continued)

Offsetting the contributors over the reporting period were the Fund's underweight allocations to the mall REITs and retailed focused net lease property types, which detracted on a relative basis. The mall underweight was the result of the portfolio management team's preference for open-air retail and community center retail versus traditional malls. The net lease underweight was based on the segment's sensitivity to rising interest rates, given the longer-duration nature of their lease structures. However, retail generally held up much better than expected based on U.S. consumers' resilience despite market volatility, rising interest rates and increasing risks of recession. The Fund's underweights to Simon Property Group Inc. in the mall segment and Realty Income Corporation in net lease accounted for the majority of relative underperformance. The Fund continued to maintain these underweight positions at the end of the reporting period.

## Risk Considerations and Dividend Information
**Risk Considerations** 

***Nuveen Global Infrastructure Fund***

Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Concentration in infrastructure-related securities involves sector risk and concentration risk, particularly greater exposure to adverse economic, regulatory, political, legal, liquidity, and tax risks associated with master limited partnerships (MLPs) and real estate investment trusts (REITS). Foreign investments involve additional risks including currency fluctuations and economic and political instability. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Common stocks are subject to market risk or the risk of decline. Small- and mid-cap stocks are subject to greater price volatility. The use of derivatives involves substantial financial risks and transaction costs. The Fund's potential investment in other investment companies means shareholders bear their proportionate share of fund expenses and indirectly, the expenses of other investment companies. Fund investments in exchange trade funds (ETFs) may involve tracking error. Preferred securities may involve greater credit risk than other debt instruments. These and other risk considerations are described in detail in the Fund's prospectus.

***Nuveen Global Real Estate Securities Fund***

Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. There is no guarantee the Fund's investment objectives will be achieved. The real estate industry is greatly affected by economic downturns or by changes in real estate values, rents, property taxes, interest rates, tax treatment, regulations, or the legal structure of the REIT. Prices of equity securities may decline significantly over short or extended periods of time. Non-U.S. investments involve risks such as currency fluctuation, political and economic instability, lack of liquidity and differing legal and accounting standards. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. These and other risk considerations, such as active management, derivatives, preferred security, and, small and mid-cap risks, are described in detail in the Fund's prospectus.

***Nuveen Real Asset Income Fund***

Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Concentration in specific sectors may involve greater risk and volatility than more diversified investments: real estate sector involves the risk of exposure to economic downturns and changes in real estate values, rents, property taxes, interest rates and tax laws; infrastructure-related securities may involve greater exposure to adverse economic, regulatory, political, legal, and other changes affecting such securities. Foreign investments involve additional risks, including currency fluctuation, political and economic instability, lack of liquidity, and differing legal and accounting standards. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Investments in small- and mid-cap companies are subject to greater volatility. In addition, the Fund will bear its proportionate share of any fees and expenses paid by the exchange trade funds (ETFs) in which it invests.

Debt or fixed income securities such as those held by the Fund are subject to market risk, credit risk, interest rate risk and income risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Below investment grade or high yield debt securities are subject to liquidity risk and heightened credit risk. Preferred securities are subordinated to bonds and other debt instruments in a company's capital structure and therefore are subject to greater credit risk. These and other risk considerations are described in detail in the Fund's prospectus.

***Nuveen Real Estate Securities Fund***

Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Common stocks and REITs such as those held in the Fund involve market risk, concentration risk, sector risk, and non-diversification risk. The real estate industry is greatly affected by economic downturns that may persist as well as changes in property values, taxes, and regulatory developments. Foreign investments involve additional risks including currency fluctuations, and economic or political instability. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. The use of derivatives involves substantial financial risks and transaction costs. Small cap stocks may experience more volatility than large cap stocks. These and other risk considerations are described in detail in the Fund's prospectus.

**Risk Considerations and Dividend Information** (continued)

**Dividend Information** 

Regular dividends are declared and distributed annually for Nuveen Global Infrastructure Fund, declared daily and distributed monthly for Nuveen Real Asset Income Fund and declared and distributed quarterly for Nuveen Global Real Estate Securities Fund and Nuveen Real Estate Securities Fund. To permit a Fund to maintain a more stable dividend, the Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net investment income it actually earned during the period.

In certain instances, a portion of each Fund's distributions may be paid from sources or comprised of elements other than ordinary income, including capital gains and/or a return of capital. This is generally due to the fact that the tax character of Fund distributions for a fiscal year is dependent upon the amount and tax character of distributions received from securities held in the Fund's portfolio. Distributions received from certain securities in which the Fund invests, most notably real estate investment trust (REIT) securities, may be characterized for tax purposes as ordinary income, long-term capital gain and/or a return of capital. The issuer of a security typically reports the tax character of its distributions only once per year, generally during the first two months of the following calendar year. The full amount of the distributions received from such securities is included in the Fund's ordinary income during the course of the year until such time the Fund is notified by the issuer of the actual tax character. To the extent that at the time of a particular distribution the Fund estimates that a portion of that distribution is attributable to a source or sources other than ordinary income, the Fund would send shareholders a notice to that effect. The final determination of the sources and tax character of all distributions for the fiscal year is made after the end of the fiscal year.

**Additional Dividend Information for Nuveen Global Real Estate Securities Fund, Nuveen Real Asset Income Fund and Nuveen Real Estate Securities Fund** 

Nuveen Global Real Estate Securities Fund, Nuveen Real Asset Income Fund and Nuveen Real Estate Securities Fund seek to pay regular dividends at a rate that reflects the cash flow received from each Fund's investments in portfolio securities. Fund distributions are not intended to include expected portfolio appreciation; however, the Funds invest in securities that make payments which ultimately may be fully or partially characterized for tax purposes by the securities' issuers as gains or return of capital. While the reported sources of distributions may include capital gains and/or return of capital for tax purposes, the Funds intend to distribute only the net cash flow received as opposed to a distribution rate based on long-term total return. This tax treatment will generally "flow through" to the Funds' distributions, but the specific tax treatment is often not known with certainty until after the end of the Funds' tax year. As a result, certain portions of the regular distributions by Nuveen Global Real Estate Securities Fund and Nuveen Real Asset Income Fund throughout the year were later re-characterized for tax purposes as either long-term gains (both realized and unrealized), or as a non-taxable return of capital, as set forth in each Fund's table below. Nuveen Real Estate Securities Fund did not have any such distribution re-characterizations.

## Fund Performance, Expense Ratios and Holdings Summaries
**The Fund Performance, Expense Ratios and Holdings Summaries for each Fund are shown within this section of the report.** 

**Fund Performance** 

**Performance data shown represents past performance and does not predict or guarantee future results.** Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.

Total returns for a period of less than one year are not annualized (i.e. cumulative returns). Since inception returns are shown for share classes that have less than 10-years of performance. Returns at net asset value (NAV) would be lower if the sales charge were included. Returns assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. For performance current to the most recent month-end visit nuveen.com or call (800) 257-8787.

Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Returns may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the investment adviser during the periods presented. If any such waivers and/or reimbursements had not been in place, returns would have been reduced. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 7—Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates for more information.

Returns reflect differences in sales charges and expenses, which are primarily differences in distribution and service fees, and assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.

Comparative index and Lipper return information is provided for Class A Shares at NAV only.

**Expense Ratios** 

The expense ratios shown are as of the Fund's most recent prospectus. The expense ratios shown reflect total operating expenses (before fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any). The expense ratios include management fees and other fees and expenses. Refer to the Financial Highlights later in this report for the Fund's expense ratios as of the end of the reporting period.

**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 purposes of Fund performance, relative results are measured against the S&P Global Infrastructure Index (Net).

\*\* Class A Shares have a maximum 5.75% sales charge (Offering Price). Class A Share purchases of $1 million or more are sold at net asset value without an up-front sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase. Class C Shares have a 1% CDSC for redemptions within less than twelve months, which is reflected in the maximum Offering Price total returns presented for less than 1-Year, when and where applicable. Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after purchase. Returns for periods longer than eight years for Class C Shares reflect the performance of Class A Shares after the deemed eight-year conversion to Class A Shares within such periods. Class R6 Shares have no sales charge and are available only to certain limited categories of investors as described in the prospectus. Class I Shares have no sales charge and may be purchased under limited circumstances or by specified classes of investors. 

\*\*\* The Fund's investment adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse other Fund expenses through July 31, 2024 so that total annual Fund operating expenses (excluding 12b-1 distribution and/or service fees, interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.00% of the average daily net assets of any class of Fund shares. However, because Class R6 Shares are not subject to sub-transfer agent and similar fees, the total annual Fund operating expenses for Class R6 Shares will be less than the expense limitation. This expense limitation may be terminated or modified prior to July 31, 2024 only with the approval of the Board of Directors of the Fund.

The Fund's Blended Benchmark consists of: 1) 25% FTSE EPRA/Nareit (Financial Times Stock Exchange - European Public Real Estate Association/National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts) Developed Index (Net), 2) 22% S&P Global Infrastructure Index (Net), 3) 20% ICE Hybrid & Preferred Infrastructure 7% Issuer Constrained Custom Index, 4) 20% Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index and 5) 13% FTSE Nareit (Financial Times Stock Exchange National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts) Preferred Stock Index. Refer to the Glossary of Terms Used in This Report for details on the Fund's Blended Benchmark composition through March 31, 2021. 

\*\* Class A Shares have a maximum 5.75% sales charge (Offering Price). Class A Share purchases of $1 million or more are sold at net asset value without an up-front sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase. Class C Shares have a 1% CDSC for redemptions within less than twelve months, which is reflected in the maximum Offering Price total returns presented for less than 1-Year, when and where applicable. Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after purchase. Returns for periods longer than eight years for Class C Shares reflect the performance of Class A Shares after the deemed eight-year conversion to Class A Shares within such periods. Class R6 Shares have no sales charge and are available only to certain limited categories of investors as described in the prospectus. Class I Shares have no sales charge and may be purchased under limited circumstances or by specified classes of investors.

\* For purposes of Fund performance, relative results are measured against the Real Estate Securities Blended Benchmark. The Fund's Blended Benchmark consists of: 1) 50% MSCI US REIT Index and 2) 50% MSCI USA IMI REITs Index. The Fund's performance was measured against the MSCI US REIT Index through September 30, 2021. Refer to the Glossary of Terms Used in This Report for further details. 

\*\* Class A Shares have a maximum 5.75% sales charge (Offering Price). Class A Share purchases of $1 million or more are sold at net asset value without an up-front sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase. Class C Shares have a 1% CDSC for redemptions within less than twelve months, which is reflected in the maximum Offering Price total returns presented for less than 1-Year, when and where applicable. Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after purchase. Returns for periods longer than eight years for Class C Shares reflect the performance of Class A Shares after the deemed eight-year conversion to Class A Shares within such periods. Class R6 Shares have no sales charge and are available only to certain limited categories of investors as described in the prospectus. Class I Shares have no sales charge and may be purchased under limited circumstances or by specified classes of investors. 

\*\*\* The Fund's investment adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses through July 31, 2024 so that the total annual operating expenses of the Fund (excluding 12b-1 distribution and/or service fees, interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.97% of the average daily net assets of any class of Fund shares. However, because Class R6 shares are not subject to sub-transfer agent and similar fees, the total annual operating expenses for the Class R6 shares will be less than the expense limitation. This expense limitation may be terminated or modified prior to July 31, 2024 only with the approval of the Board of Directors of the Fund.

## Expense Examples
As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including up-front and back-end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees, where applicable; and other Fund expenses. The Examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the period ended December 31, 2022.

The beginning of the period is July 1, 2022.

The information under "Actual Performance," together with the amount you invested, allows you to estimate actual expenses incurred over the reporting period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the cost shown for your share class, in the row entitled "Expenses Incurred During Period" to estimate the expenses incurred on your account during this period.

The information under "Hypothetical Performance," provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you incurred for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the following tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds or share classes. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

## Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of Nuveen Investment Funds, Inc. and Board of Trustees of Nuveen Investment Trust V and Shareholders of Nuveen Global Infrastructure Fund, Nuveen Global Real Estate Securities Fund, Nuveen Real Asset Income Fund and Nuveen Real Estate Securities Fund

*Opinions on the Financial Statements* 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Nuveen Global Infrastructure Fund, Nuveen Real Asset Income Fund and Nuveen Real Estate Securities Fund (three of the funds constituting Nuveen Investment Funds, Inc.) and Nuveen Global Real Estate Securities Fund (one of the funds constituting Nuveen Investment Trust V) (hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") as of December 31, 2022, the related statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2022, 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 December 31, 2022 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

*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 December 31, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

For Fund portfolio compliance purposes, the Fund's industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industry sub-classifications into sectors for reporting ease.

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets.

(2) For financial reporting purposes, the ratings disclosed are the highest of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's"), Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch") rating. This treatment of split-rated securities may differ from that used for other purposes, such as
for Fund investment policies. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's, Baa by Moody's or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies.
Ratings are not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm.

(3) Principal Amount (000) denominated in U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise noted.

(4) Investment, or a portion of investment, is out on loan for securities lending. The total value of the securities out on
loan as of the end of the reporting period was $2,682,049.

(5) Non-income producing; issuer has not declared an ex-dividend date within the past twelve months.

(6) Perpetual security. Maturity date is not applicable.

(7) Variable rate security. The rate shown is the coupon as of the end of the reporting period.

(8) Senior loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically adjusted by reference to a base short-term, floating
lending rate (Reference Rate) plus an assigned fixed rate (Spread). These floating lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate referenced by the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), or (ii) the prime rate offered by one
or more major United States banks. Senior loans may be considered restricted in that the Fund ordinarily is contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the disposition of a senior loan. The rate shown is
the coupon as of the end of the reporting period.

(9) Senior loans generally are subject to mandatory and/or optional prepayment. Because of these mandatory prepayment
conditions and because there may be significant economic incentives for a borrower to prepay, prepayments of senior loans may occur. As a result, the actual remaining maturity of senior loans held may be substantially less than the stated maturities
shown.

(10) The Fund may loan securities representing up to one third of the market value of its total assets (which includes
collateral for securities on loan) to broker dealers, banks, and other institutions. The collateral maintained by the Fund shall have a market value, at the inception of each loan, equal to not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned
securities. The cash collateral received by the Fund is invested in this money market fund.

(11) The rate shown is the one-day yield as of the end of the reporting period.

(12) Other assets less liabilities includes the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of certain over-the-counter ("OTC") derivatives as well as the OTC cleared and exchange-traded derivatives, when applicable. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of OTC
cleared and exchange-traded derivatives is recognized as part of the cash collateral at brokers and/or the receivable or payable for variation margin as presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.

144A Investment is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These investments may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration, which are normally those transactions with qualified institutional buyers.

Specifically, Regulation S provides a safe harbor from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for the offers and sales of securities by both foreign and domestic issuers that are made outside the United States.  |

## Notes to Financial Statements
**1. General Information** 

*Trust and Fund Information* 

Nuveen Investment Funds, Inc. and Nuveen Investment Trust V (each a "Trust" and collectively, the "Trusts"), are open-end management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as amended. Nuveen Investment Funds, Inc. is comprised of Nuveen Global Infrastructure Fund ("Global Infrastructure"), Nuveen Real Asset Income Fund ("Real Asset Income") and Nuveen Real Estate Securities Fund ("Real Estate Securities"), among others, and Nuveen Investment Trust V is comprised of Nuveen Global Real Estate Securities Fund ("Global Real Estate Securities"), among others, (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"), as diversified funds. Nuveen Investment Funds, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Maryland on August 20, 1987 and Nuveen Investment Trust V was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on September 27, 2006.

*Current Fiscal Period* 

The end of the reporting period for the Funds is December 31, 2022, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the "current fiscal period").

*Investment Adviser and Sub-Adviser* 

The Funds' investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser"), a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC ("Nuveen"). Nuveen is the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA). The Adviser has overall responsibility for management of the Funds, oversees the management of the Funds' portfolios, manages the Funds' business affairs and provides certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services, and, if necessary, asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, (the "Sub-Adviser"), a subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolios of the Funds.

*Share Classes and Sales Charges* 

Class A Shares are generally sold with an up-front sales charge. Class A Share purchases of $1 million or more are sold at net asset value ("NAV") without an up-front sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1% if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase. Class C Shares are sold without an up-front sales charge but are subject to a CDSC of 1% if redeemed within twelve months of purchase. Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after purchase. Class R6 Shares and I Shares are sold without an up-front sales charge.

**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 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* 

Neither Trust pays compensation directly to those of its directors/trustees or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees (the "Board") has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent directors/trustees that enables directors/trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen-advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen-advised funds.

*Distributions to Shareholders* 

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount, character and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

The tax character of Fund distributions for a fiscal year is dependent upon the amount and tax character of distributions received from securities held in the Funds' portfolios. Distributions received from certain securities in which the Funds invest, most notably real estate investment trust ("REIT") securities, may be characterized for tax purposes as ordinary income, long-term capital gain and/or a return of capital. The issuer of a security reports the tax character of its distributions only once per year, generally during the first two months of the calendar year. The distribution is included in the Funds' ordinary income until such time the Fund is notified by the issuer of the actual tax character. For the current fiscal period, dividend income, net

------

realized gain (loss) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) recognized on the Statement of Operations reflect the amounts of ordinary income, capital gain, and/or return of capital as reported by the issuers of such securities as of the current calendar year end.

*Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation* 

The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the end of each day. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at each prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates associated with (i) foreign currency, (ii) investments and (iii) derivatives include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date of the transactions, foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Funds and the amounts actually received are recognized as a component of "Net realized gain (loss) from investments and foreign currency" on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.

The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in foreign exchange rates associated with (i) investments and (ii) other assets and liabilities are recognized as a component of "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and foreign currency" on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates associated with investments in derivatives are recognized as a component of the respective derivative's related "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)" on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.

As of the end of the end of the reporting period, the following Funds' investments in non-U.S. securities were as follows:

**Notes to Financial Statements** (continued)

*Foreign Taxes* 

The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains, on investments or foreign currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon the current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which the Funds invest.

*Indemnifications* 

Under each Trust's organizational documents, its officers and directors/trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to each Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, each Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. Each Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Trust that have not yet occurred. However, each Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

*Investments and Investment Income* 

Securities transactions are accounted for as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Trade date for senior and subordinated loans purchased in the "primary market" is considered the date on which the loan allocations are determined. Trade date for senior and subordinated loans purchased in the "secondary market" is the date on which the transaction is entered into. Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are based upon the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for foreign securities, when information is available. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date and recorded at fair value. Interest income, which is recorded on an accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums for financial reporting purposes. Interest income also reflects payment-in-kind ("PIK") interest, paydown gains and losses and fee income, if any. PIK interest represents income received in the form of securities in lieu of cash. Fee income consists primarily of amendment fees, when applicable. Amendment fees are earned as compensation for evaluating and accepting changes to an original senior loan agreement and are recognized when received. Securities lending income is comprised of fees earned from borrowers and income earned on cash collateral investments.

*Multiclass Operations and Allocations* 

Income and expenses of Global Infrastructure, Global Real Estate Securities and Real Estate Securities that are not directly attributable to a specific class of shares are prorated among the classes of each Fund based on the relative net assets of each class. Income and expenses of Real Asset Income that are not directly attributable to a specific class of shares are prorated among the classes based on the relative settled shares of each class. Expenses directly attributable to a class of shares are recorded to the specific class. 12b-1 distribution and service fees are allocated on a class-specific basis.

Sub-transfer agent fees and similar fees, which are recognized as a component of "Shareholder servicing agent fees" on the Statement of Operations, are not charged to Class R6 Shares and are prorated among the other classes based on their relative net assets for Global Infrastructure, Global Real Estate Securities and Real Estate Securities and relative settled shares for Real Asset Income.

Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Funds are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class.

*Netting Agreements* 

In the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable master repurchase agreements, International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) master agreements or other similar arrangements ("netting agreements"). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows each Fund to offset certain securities and derivatives with a specific counterparty, when applicable, as well as any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, each Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the netting agreements, collateral posted to the Funds is held in a segregated account by the Funds' custodian and/or with respect to those amounts which can be sold or repledged, are presented in the Funds' Portfolio of Investments or Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Funds' investments subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, if any, are further described in Note 4 – Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives.

**New Accounting Pronouncements and Rule Issuances** 

*Reference Rate Reform* 

In March 2020, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The main objective of the new guidance is to provide relief to companies that will be impacted by the expected change in benchmark interest rates, when participating banks will no longer be required to submit London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) quotes by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The new guidance allows companies to, provided the only change to existing contracts are a change to an approved benchmark interest rate, account for modifications as a continuance of the existing contract without additional analysis. For new and existing contracts, the Funds may elect to apply the amendments as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, FASB deferred ASU 2022-04 and issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform: Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extends the application of the amendments through December 31, 2024. Management has not yet elected to apply the amendments, is continuously evaluating the potential effect a discontinuation of LIBOR could have on the Funds' investments and has currently determined that it is unlikely the ASU's adoption will have a significant impact on the Funds' financial statements and various filings.

------

*New Rules to Modernize Fund Valuation Framework Take Effect* 

A new rule adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") governing fund valuation practices, Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, has established requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 permits fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are "readily available" for purposes of Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, which requires a fund to fair value a security when market quotations are not readily available. Separately, new SEC Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act sets forth the recordkeeping requirements associated with fair value determinations. The Funds adopted a valuation policy conforming to the new rules, effective September 1, 2022, and there was no material impact to the Funds.

*FASB issues ASU 2022-03-Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities to Contractual Sale Restrictions ("ASU 2022-03")* 

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

**3. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements** 

The Funds' investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value utilizing valuation methods approved by the Adviser, subject to oversight of the Board. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. U.S. GAAP establishes the three-tier hierarchy which is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect management's assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Level 1 – | Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. |
| 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 independent pricing service 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.

------

**Notes to Financial Statements** (continued)

Futures contracts are valued using the closing settlement price or, in the absence of such a price, the last traded price and are generally classified as Level 1.

For any portfolio security or derivative for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the Adviser deems the valuations derived using the valuation procedures described above not to reflect fair value, the Adviser will determine a fair value in good faith using alternative procedures approved by the Adviser, subject to the oversight of the Board. As a general principle, the fair value of a security is the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor's credit characteristics considered relevant. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be classified as Level 2; otherwise they would be classified as Level 3.

The following table summarizes the market value of the Funds' investments as of the end of the reporting period, based on the inputs used to value them:

**4. Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives** 

**Portfolio Securities** 

*Unfunded Commitments* 

Pursuant to the terms of certain of the variable rate senior loan agreements, Real Asset Income may have unfunded senior loan commitments. The Fund will maintain with its custodian, cash, liquid securities and/or liquid senior loans having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of unfunded senior loan commitments. As of the end of the reporting period, the Fund had no such outstanding unfunded senior loan commitments.

*Participation Commitments* 

With respect to the senior loans held in Real Asset Income's portfolio, the Fund may: 1) invest in assignments; 2) act as a participant in primary lending syndicates; or 3) invest in participations. If the Fund purchases a participation of a senior loan interest, the Fund would typically enter into a contractual agreement with the lender or other third party selling the participation, rather than directly with the borrower. As such, the Fund not only assumes the credit risk of the borrower, but also that of the selling participant or other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the borrower. As of the end of the reporting period, the Fund had no such outstanding participation commitments.

*Repurchase Agreements* 

In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is each Fund's policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the counterparty defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral may be delayed or limited.

The following table presents the repurchase agreements for the Funds that are subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, and the collateral delivered related to those repurchase agreements.

*Securities Lending* 

Each Fund may lend securities representing up to one-third of the value of its total assets to broker-dealers, banks, and other institutions in order to generate additional income. When loaning securities, the Fund retains the benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. The resulting 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 securities on loan and the total value of collateral received were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Fund** | **Asset Class out on Loan** | **Long-Term<br>Investments, at Value** | **Total Collateral Received** |
| **Global Infrastructure** | Common Stocks | $3867917 | $3995160 |
| **Global Real Estate Securities** | Common Stocks | $19680 | $20072 |
| **Real Asset Income** | $25 Par (or similar) Retail Preferred | $1776998 | $1868714 |

*Investment Transactions* 

Long-term purchases and sales (including maturities but excluding investments purchased with collateral from securities lending and derivative transactions, where applicable) during the current fiscal period were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Global<br>Infrastructure** | **Global<br>Real Estate<br>Securities** | **Real Asset<br>Income** | **Real Estate<br>Securities** |
| Purchases | $682490307 | $49309204 | $976634788 | $1162779440 |
| Sales and maturities | 801854251 | 69265153 | 1089799846 | 1861113329 |

---

The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may have extended settlement periods; interest income is not accrued until settlement date. Any securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have earmarked securities in their portfolios with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed-delivery purchase commitments. If a Fund has outstanding when-issued/delayed-delivery purchases commitments as of the end of the reporting period, such amounts are recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

**Investments in Derivatives** 

Each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments. The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds' investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes.

*Futures Contracts* 

Upon execution of a futures contract, 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. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts, if any, is recognized as ''Cash collateral at broker for investments in futures contracts'' on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Investments in futures contracts obligate a Fund and the clearing broker to settle monies on a daily basis representing changes in the prior days ''mark-to-market'' of the open contracts. If a Fund has unrealized appreciation the clearing broker would credit the Fund's account with an amount equal to appreciation and conversely if a Fund has unrealized depreciation the clearing broker would debit the Fund's account with an amount equal to depreciation. These daily cash settlements are also known as ''variation margin.'' Variation margin is recognized as a receivable and/or payable for ''Variation margin on futures contracts'' on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as an unrealized gain or loss by ''marking-to market'' on a daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract, which is recognized as a component of ''Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts'' on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or expired, a 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, which is recognized as a component of ''Net realized gain (loss) from futures contracts'' 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.

During the current fiscal period, Real Asset Income continued using interest rate futures contracts to partially hedge the portfolio against movements in interest rates.

The average notional amount of futures contracts outstanding during the current fiscal period was as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Real Asset<br>Income** |
| Average notional amount of futures contracts outstanding\* | $30867958 |

---

\* 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. 

The following table presents the fair value of all futures contracts held by the Fund as of the end of the reporting period, the location of these instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the primary underlying risk exposure.

| **Real Asset Income** | Interest rate | Futures contracts | $5619001 | $655805 |

*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.

**6. 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 bond premium amortization adjustments, complex securities character adjustments, distribution reallocations, foreign currency transactions, foreign taxes paid, investments in partnerships, investments in passive foreign investment companies, paydowns, return of capital and long-term capital gain distributions received from portfolio investments, tax equalization, and taxes paid. 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:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Fund** | **Tax Cost** | **Gross<br>Unrealized<br>Appreciation** | **Gross<br>Unrealized<br>(Depreciation)** | **Net<br>Unrealized<br>Appreciation<br>(Depreciation)** |

| **Real Estate Securities** | 849028552 | 270011826 | (80443819) | 189568007 |

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 of year end, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

**7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates** 

*Management Fees* 

Each Fund's management fee compensates the Adviser for the overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.

Each Fund's management fee consists of two components – a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within each individual Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables each Fund's shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.

------

The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated according to the following schedules:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Average Daily Net Assets** | **Global<br>Infrastructure<br>and Global<br>Real Estate<br>Securities** | **Real Estate<br>Securities** |
| For the first $125 million | 0.7500% | 0.7000% |
| For the next $125 million | 0.7375 | 0.6875 |
| For the next $250 million | 0.7250 | 0.6750 |
| For the next $500 million | 0.7125 | 0.6625 |
| For the next $1 billion | 0.7000 | 0.6500 |
| For the next $3 billion | 0.6750 | 0.6250 |
| For the next $2.5 billion | 0.6500 | 0.6000 |
| For the next $2.5 billion | 0.6375 | 0.5875 |
| For net assets over $10 billion | 0.6250 | 0.5750 |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Average Daily Net Assets** | **Real Asset<br>Income** |
| For the first $125 million | 0.6000% |
| For the next $125 million | 0.5875 |
| For the next $250 million | 0.5750 |
| For the next $500 million | 0.5625 |
| For the next $1 billion | 0.5500 |
| For the next $3 billion | 0.5250 |
| For the next $5 billion | 0.5000 |
| For net assets over $10 billion | 0.4875 |

---

The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is determined by taking the complex-level fee rate, which is based on the aggregate amount of "eligible assets" of all Nuveen funds as set forth in the schedule below, and (except for Global Real Estate Securities and Real Asset Income) making, as appropriate, an upward adjustment to that rate based upon the percentage of the particular fund's assets that are not "eligible assets." The complex level fee schedule for each Fund is as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Complex-Level Eligible Asset Breakpoint Level\*** | **Effective Complex-Level Fee<br>Rate at Breakpoint Level** |
| $55 billion | 0.2000% |
| $56 billion | 0.1996 |
| $57 billion | 0.1989 |
| $60 billion | 0.1961 |
| $63 billion | 0.1931 |
| $66 billion | 0.1900 |
| $71 billion | 0.1851 |
| $76 billion | 0.1806 |
| $80 billion | 0.1773 |
| $91 billion | 0.1691 |
| $125 billion | 0.1599 |
| $200 billion | 0.1505 |
| $250 billion | 0.1469 |
| $300 billion | 0.1445 |

---

\* 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 not include certain assets of certain Nuveen funds that were reorganized into funds advised by an affiliate of the Adviser during the 2019 calendar year. Eligible assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to certain types of leverage. For these purposes, leverage includes the closed-end funds' use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust's issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining eligible assets in certain circumstances. As of December 31, 2022, the complex-level fee for each Fund was as follows: 

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Fund** | **Complex-Level Fee** |
|  **Global Infrastructure** | 0.1705% |
|  **Global Real Estate Securities** | 0.1590% |
|  **Real Asset Income** | 0.1590% |
|  **Real Estate Securities** | 0.2000% |

---

The Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses ("Expense Cap") of the Funds so that the total annual Fund operating expenses (excluding 12b-1 distribution and/or service fees, interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed the average daily net assets of any class of Fund shares in the amounts and for the time period stated in the following table. However, because Class R6 Shares are not subject to sub-transfer agent and similar fees, the total annual fund operating expenses for the Class R6 Shares will not be less than the expense limitation. The expense limitation expiring July 31, 2024, may be terminated or modified prior to that date only with the approval of the Board.

*Distribution and Service Fees* 

Each Fund has adopted a distribution and service plan under rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class A Shares incur a 0.25% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class C Shares incur a 0.75% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a 0.25% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class R6 Shares and Class I Shares are not subject to 12b-1 distribution or service fees. The fees under this plan compensate Nuveen Securities, LLC, (the "Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen, for services provided and expenses incurred in distributing shares of the Funds and establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts.

*Other Transactions with Affiliates* 

The Funds receives voluntary compensation from the Adviser in amounts that approximate the cost of research services obtained from broker-dealers and research providers if the Adviser had purchased the research services directly. This income received by the Funds, which is disclosed below, is recognized in "Other income" on the Statement of Operations.

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|

| Commission advances (Unaudited) | $11212 | $250 | $106437 | $8300 |

---

To compensate for commissions advanced to financial intermediaries, all 12b-1 service and distribution fees collected on C Shares during the first year following a purchase were retained by the Distributor. During the current fiscal period, the Distributor retained such 12b-1 fees as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Global<br>Infrastructure** | **Global<br>Real Estate<br>Securities** | **Real Asset<br>Income** | **Real Estate<br>Securities** |
| 12b-1 fees retained (Unaudited) | $16885 | $332 | $150582 | $— |

**8. 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 2023 unless extended or renewed.

The credit facility has the following terms: 0.15% per annum on unused commitment amounts and a drawn interest rate equal to the higher of (a) OBFR (Overnight Bank Funding Rate) plus 1.20% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds Effective Rate plus 1.20% per annum on amounts borrowed. The Participating Funds also incurred a 0.05% upfront fee on the increased commitments from select lenders. Interest expense incurred by the Participating Funds, when applicable, is recognized as a component of "Interest expense" on the Statement of Operations. Participating Funds paid administration, legal and arrangement fees, which are recognized as a component of "Interest expense" on the Statement of Operations, and along with commitment fees, have been allocated among such Participating Funds based upon the relative proportions of the facility's aggregate capacity reserved for them and other factors deemed relevant by the Adviser and the Board of each Participating Fund.

During the current fiscal period, the Funds did not utilize this facility.

## Glossary of Terms Used in this Report
(Unaudited)

**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.

**Basis Point:** One one-hundredth of one percentage point, or 0.01%. For example, 25 basis points equals 0.25%.

## Liquidity Risk Management Program
(Unaudited)

**Discussion of the operation and effectiveness of the Funds' liquidity risk management program** 

In compliance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Liquidity Rule"), each Fund covered in this Report the "Funds") has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the "Program"), which is designed to manage the Fund's liquidity risk. The Program consists of various protocols for assessing and managing each Fund's liquidity risk. The Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees previously designated Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC, the Funds' investment adviser, as the Administrator of the Program. The adviser's Liquidity Monitoring and Analysis Team ("LMAT") carries out day-to-day Program management with oversight by the adviser's Liquidity Oversight Sub-Committee (the LOSC"). The LOSC is composed of personnel from the adviser and Teachers Advisors, LLC, an affiliate of the adviser.

At a May 23-25, 2022 meeting of the Board, the Administrator provided the Board with a written report addressing the Program's operation, adequacy and effectiveness of implementation for calendar year 2021 (the "Review Period"), as required under the Liquidity Rule. The report noted that the Program has been and continues to be adequately and effectively implemented to monitor and (as applicable) respond to each Fund's liquidity developments.

In accordance with the Program, the LMAT assesses each Fund's liquidity risk no less frequently than annually based on various factors, such as (1) the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of portfolio investments, (ii) cash flow projections, and (ii) holdings of cash and cash equivalents, borrowing arrangements, and other funding sources. Certain factors are considered under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions.

Each Fund portfolio investment is classified into one of four liquidity categories (including the most liquid, "Highly Liquid", and the least liquid, "lliquid", discussed below), The classification is based on a determination of how long it is reasonably expected to take to convert the investment into cash, or sell or dispose of the investment, in current market conditions without significantly changing the market value of the investment Liquidity classification determinations take into account various market, trading, and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and use third- party vendor data.

Any Fund that does not primarily hold highly liquid investments must, among other things, determine a minimum percentage of Fund assets that must be invested in highly liquid investments (a "Highly Liquid Investment Minimum"). During the Review Period, each Fund primarily held Highly Liquid investments and therefore was exempt from the requirement to adopt a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum and to comply with the related requirements under the Liquidity Rule.

The Liquidity Rule also limits a Fund's investments in llliquid investments. Specifically, the Liquidity Rule prohibits a Fund from acquiring Illiquid investments if doing so would result in the Fund holding more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments, and requires certain reporting to the Fund Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission any time a Fund's holdings of llliquid investments exceeds 15% of net assets. During the Review Period, no Fund exceeded the 15% limit on llliquid investments.

## Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process
(Unaudited)

At a meeting held on May 23-25, 2022 (the *"May Meeting"*), the Board of Trustees or Directors, as applicable (the *"Board"* and each Trustee or Director, a *"Board Member"*) of the Funds, which is comprised entirely of Board Members who are not "interested persons" (as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the *"1940 Act"*)) (the *"Independent Board Members"*), approved, for each Fund, the renewal of the management agreement (each, an *"Investment Management Agreement"*) with Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the *"Adviser"*) pursuant to which the Adviser serves as investment adviser to such Fund and the sub-advisory agreement (each, a *"Sub-Advisory Agreement"*) with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the *"Sub-Adviser"*) pursuant to which the Sub-Adviser serves as the sub-adviser to such Fund for an additional one-year term. As the Board is comprised of all Independent Board Members, the references to the Board and the Independent Board Members are interchangeable.

Following up to an initial two-year period, the Board considers the renewal of each Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement on behalf of the applicable Fund on an annual basis. The Investment Management Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements are collectively referred to as the *"Advisory Agreements,"* and the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are collectively, the *"Fund Advisers"* and each, a *"Fund Adviser."* The Board has established various standing committees composed of various Independent Board Members that are assigned specific responsibilities to enhance the effectiveness of the Board's oversight and decision making. Throughout the year, the Board and its committees meet regularly and, at these meetings, receive regular and/or special reports that cover an extensive array of topics and information that are relevant to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the advisory agreements for the Nuveen funds. Such information may address, among other things, fund performance and risk information; the Adviser's strategic plans; product initiatives for various funds; the review of the funds and investment teams; compliance, regulatory and risk management matters; the trading practices of the various sub-advisers to the Nuveen funds; management of distributions; valuation of securities; fund expenses; payments to financial intermediaries, including 12b-1 fees and sub-transfer agency fees, if applicable; securities lending; liquidity management; and overall market and regulatory developments. The Board also seeks to meet periodically with the Nuveen funds' sub-advisers and/or portfolio teams, when feasible. The Board further meets, among other things, to specifically consider the annual renewal of the advisory agreements for the Nuveen funds.

In connection with its annual consideration of the advisory agreements for the Nuveen funds, the Board, through its independent legal counsel, requested and received extensive materials and information prepared specifically for its review of such advisory agreements by the Adviser and by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("*Broadridge*"), an independent provider of investment company data. The materials cover a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, a description of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Fund Advisers; a review of product actions taken during 2021 (such as mergers, liquidations, fund launches, changes to investment teams, and changes to investment policies); a review of each sub-adviser to the Nuveen funds and/or the applicable investment teams; an analysis of fund performance in absolute terms and as compared to the performance of certain peer funds and benchmarks with a focus on any performance outliers; an analysis of the fees and expense ratios of the Nuveen funds in absolute terms and as compared to those of certain peer funds with a focus on any expense outliers; a review of management fee schedules; a review of temporary and permanent expense caps and fee waivers for open-end funds (as applicable) and related expense savings; a description of portfolio manager compensation; a review of the performance of various service providers; a description of various initiatives Nuveen had undertaken or continued in 2021 and 2022 for the benefit of particular fund(s) and/or the complex; a description of the profitability or financial data of Nuveen and the sub-advisers to the Nuveen funds; and a description of indirect benefits received by the Adviser and the sub-advisers as a result of their relationships with the Nuveen funds. The information prepared specifically for the annual review supplemented the information provided to the Board and its committees and the evaluations of the Nuveen funds by the Board and its committees during the year. The Board's review of the advisory agreements for the Nuveen funds is based on all the information provided to the Board and its committees throughout the year as well as the information prepared specifically with respect to the annual review of such advisory agreements.

In continuing its practice, the Board met prior to the May Meeting to begin its considerations of the renewal of the Advisory Agreements. Accordingly, on April 13-14, 2022 (the "*April Meeting*"), the Board met to review and discuss, in part, the performance of the Nuveen funds and the Adviser's evaluation of each sub-adviser to the Nuveen funds and/or its investment teams. At the April Meeting, the Board Members asked questions and requested additional information that was provided for the May Meeting.

The Independent Board Members considered the review of the advisory agreements for the Nuveen funds to be an ongoing process and employed the accumulated information, knowledge and experience the Board Members had gained during their tenure on the boards governing the Nuveen funds and working with the Adviser and sub-advisers in their review of the advisory agreements. The contractual arrangements are a result of multiple years of review, negotiation and information provided in connection with the boards' annual review of the Nuveen funds' advisory arrangements and oversight of the Nuveen funds.

------

The Independent Board Members were advised by independent legal counsel during the annual review process as well as throughout the year, including meeting in executive sessions with such counsel at which no representatives from the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser were present. In connection with their annual review, the Independent Board Members also received a memorandum from independent legal counsel outlining their fiduciary duties and legal standards in reviewing the Advisory Agreements, including guidance from court cases evaluating advisory fees.

The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Agreements was not based on a single identified factor, but rather the decision reflected the comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board and its committees throughout the year as well as the materials prepared specifically in connection with the renewal process. Each Board Member may have attributed different levels of importance to the various factors and information considered in connection with the approval process and may place different emphasis on the relevant information year to year in light of, among other things, changing market and economic conditions. A summary of the principal factors and information, but not all the factors, the Board considered in deciding to renew the Advisory Agreements is set forth below.

**A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services** 

In evaluating the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the applicable Fund Adviser's services provided to the respective Fund with particular focus on the services and enhancements to such services provided during the last year. The Independent Board Members considered the Investment Management Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements separately in the course of their review. With this approach, they considered the respective roles of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser in providing services to the Funds.

The Board recognized that the Nuveen funds operate in a highly regulated industry and, therefore, the Adviser has provided a wide array of management, oversight and administrative services to manage and operate the funds, and the scope and complexity of these services have expanded over time as a result of, among other things, regulatory, market and other developments. The Board accordingly considered the Adviser's dedication of extensive resources, time, people and capital employed to support and manage the Nuveen funds as well as the Adviser's continued program of developing improvements and innovations for the benefit of the funds and shareholders and to meet the ever increasing regulatory requirements applicable to the funds. In this regard, the Board received and reviewed information regarding, among other things, the Adviser's investment oversight responsibilities, regulatory and compliance services, administrative duties and other services. The Board considered the Adviser's investment oversight team's extensive services in overseeing the various sub-advisers to the Nuveen funds; evaluating fund performance; and preparing reports to the Board addressing, among other things, fund performance, market conditions, investment team matters, product developments and management proposals. The Board further recognized the range of services the various teams of the Adviser provided including, but not limited to, overseeing operational and risk management; managing liquidity; overseeing the daily valuation process and managing distributions in seeking to deliver long-term fund earnings to shareholders consistent with the respective Nuveen fund's product design and positioning. The Board also considered the structure of investment personnel compensation of each Fund Adviser and whether the structure provides appropriate incentives to attract and maintain qualified personnel and to act in the best interests of the respective Nuveen fund.

The Board further recognized that the Adviser's compliance and regulatory functions were integral to the investment management of the Nuveen funds. The Board recognized such services included, but were not limited to, managing compliance policies; monitoring compliance with applicable policies, law and regulations; devising internal compliance programs and a framework to review and assess compliance programs; overseeing sub-adviser compliance testing; preparing compliance training materials; and responding to regulatory requests. The Board further considered information regarding the Adviser's business continuity and disaster recovery plans as well as information regarding its information security program, including presentations of such program provided at a site visit in 2022, to help identify and manage information security risks.

In addition to the above functions, the Board considered that the Adviser also provides, among other things, fund administration services (such as preparing fund tax returns and other tax compliance services; preparing regulatory filings; interacting with the Nuveen funds' independent public accountants and overseeing other service providers; and managing fund budgets and expenses); product management services (such as evaluating and enhancing products and strategies); legal services (such as helping to prepare and file registration statements and proxy statements; overseeing fund activities and providing legal interpretations regarding such activities; maintaining regulatory registrations and negotiating agreements with other fund service providers; and monitoring changes in regulatory requirements and commenting on rule proposals impacting investment companies); and oversight of shareholder services and transfer agency functions (such as overseeing transfer agent service providers which include registered shareholder customer service and transaction processing; overseeing proxy solicitation and tabulation services; and overseeing the production and distribution of financial reports by service providers).

The Board also considered the quality of support services and communications the Adviser provided the Board, including, in part, organizing and administrating Board meetings and supporting Board committees; preparing regular and ad hoc reports on fund performance, market conditions and investment team matters; providing due diligence reports addressing product development and management proposals; and coordinating site visits of the Board and presentations by investment teams and senior management.

In addition to the services provided, the Board considered the financial resources of the Adviser and its affiliates and their willingness to make investments in the technology, personnel and infrastructure to support the Nuveen funds, including maintaining a seed capital budget to support new

or existing funds and/or facilitate changes for a respective fund. Further, the Board noted the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large fund complex with a variety of investment disciplines, capabilities, expertise and resources available to navigate and support the Nuveen funds including during stressed times. The Board recognized the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the Adviser's continuing commitment to provide high quality services, its willingness to implement operational or organizational changes in seeking, among other things, to enhance efficiencies and services to the Nuveen funds and its responsiveness to the Board's questions and/or concerns raised throughout the year and during the annual review of advisory agreements. The Board also considered the significant risks borne by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with their services to the Nuveen funds, including entrepreneurial risks in sponsoring new funds and ongoing risks with managing the funds such as investment, operational, reputational, regulatory, compliance and litigation risks.

In evaluating services, the Board reviewed various highlights of the initiatives the Adviser and its affiliates have undertaken or continued in 2021 and 2022 to benefit the Nuveen complex and/or particular Nuveen funds and meet the requirements of an increasingly complex regulatory environment including, but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Centralization of Functions –** ongoing initiatives to centralize investment leadership and create a more cohesive
market approach and centralized shared support model (including through the consolidation of certain affiliated sub-advisers) in seeking to operate more effectively and enhance the research capabilities and
services to the Nuveen funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Fund Improvements and Product Management Initiatives –** continuing to proactively manage the Nuveen fund complex
as a whole and at the individual fund level with an aim to continually improve product platforms and investment strategies to better serve shareholders through, among other things, rationalizing the product line and gaining efficiencies through
mergers, repositionings and liquidations; launching new funds; reviewing and updating investment policies and benchmarks; soft closing certain funds; modifying the conversion periods on certain share classes; and evaluating and adjusting portfolio
management teams as appropriate for various funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Capital Initiatives –** continuing to invest capital to support new Nuveen funds with initial capital as well as
to support existing funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Liquidity Management –** continuing to operate the liquidity management program of the applicable Nuveen funds
including monitoring daily their liquidity profile and assessing annually the overall liquidity risk of such funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Compliance Program Initiatives –** continuing efforts to mitigate compliance risk with a focus on environmental,
social and governance (*"ESG"*) controls and processes, increase operating efficiencies, implement enhancements to strengthen ongoing execution of key compliance program elements, support international business growth and facilitate
integration of Nuveen's operating model;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Investment Oversight –** preparing reports to the Board addressing, among other things, fund performance; market
conditions; investment team matters; product developments; changes to mandates, policies and benchmarks; and other management proposals as well as preparing and coordinating investment presentations to the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Risk Management and Valuation Services –** continuing to oversee and manage risk including, among other things,
conducting ongoing calculations and monitoring of risk measures across the Nuveen funds, instituting investment risk controls, providing risk reporting throughout Nuveen, participating in internal oversight committees, dedicating the resources and
time to develop the processes necessary to help address fund compliance with the new derivatives rule and continuing to implement an operational risk framework that seeks to provide greater transparency of operational risk matters across the complex
as well as provide multiple other risk programs that seek to provide a more disciplined and consistent approach to identifying and mitigating Nuveen's operational risks. Further, the securities valuation team continues, among other things, to
oversee the daily valuation process of the portfolio securities of the funds, maintain the valuation policies and procedures, facilitate valuation committee meetings, manage relationships with pricing vendors, prepare relevant valuation reports and
design methods to simplify and enhance valuation workflow within the organization and implement processes and procedures to help address compliance with the new valuation rule applicable to the funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Regulatory Matters –** continuing efforts to monitor regulatory trends and advocate on behalf of Nuveen and/or the
Nuveen funds, to implement and comply with new or revised rules and mandates and to respond to regulatory inquiries and exams;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Government Relations –** continuing efforts of various Nuveen teams and Nuveen's affiliates to develop policy
positions on a broad range of issues that may impact the Nuveen funds, advocate and communicate these positions to lawmakers and other regulatory authorities and work with trade associations to ensure these positions are represented;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery and Information Security –** continuing efforts of Nuveen to periodically
test and update business continuity and disaster recovery plans and, together with its affiliates, to maintain an information security program that seeks to identify and manage information security risks, and provide reports to the Board, at least
annually, addressing, among other things, management's security risk assessment, cyber risk profile, potential impact of new or revised laws and regulations, incident tracking and other relevant information technology risk-related reports; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Distribution Management Services –** continuing to manage the distributions among the varying types of Nuveen
funds within the Nuveen complex to be consistent with the respective fund's product design and positioning in striving to deliver those earnings to shareholders in a relatively consistent manner over time as well as assisting in the development
of new products or the restructuring of existing funds.

The Board further considered the division of responsibilities between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and recognized that the Sub-Adviser and its investment personnel generally are responsible for the management of each Fund's portfolio under the oversight of the Adviser and the Board. The Board considered an analysis of the Sub-Adviser provided by the Adviser which included, among other things, the assets under management of the applicable investment team and changes thereto, a summary of the applicable investment team and changes thereto, the investment process and philosophy of the applicable investment team, the performance of the Nuveen funds sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser over various periods of time and a summary of any significant policy and/or other changes to the Nuveen funds sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser. The Board further considered at the May Meeting or prior meetings evaluations of the Sub-Adviser's compliance programs and trade execution. The Board noted that the Adviser recommended the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.

Based on its review, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the respective Funds under each applicable Advisory Agreement.

**B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and Fund Advisers** 

In evaluating the quality of the services provided by the Fund Advisers, the Board also received and considered a variety of investment performance data of the Nuveen funds they advise. In evaluating performance, the Board recognized that performance data may differ significantly depending on the ending date selected, particularly during periods of market volatility, and therefore considered the broader perspective of performance over a variety of time periods that may include full market cycles. In this regard, the Board reviewed, among other things, Fund performance over the quarter, one-, three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022 (or for shorter periods available to the extent a Fund was not in existence during such periods). The performance data was based on Class A shares; however, the performance of other classes should be substantially similar as they invest in the same portfolio of securities and differences in performance among the classes would be principally attributed to the variations in the expense structures of the classes. The performance data prepared for the annual review of the advisory agreements for the Nuveen funds supplemented the fund performance data that the Board received throughout the year at its meetings representing differing time periods. In its review, the Board took into account the discussions with representatives of the Adviser; the Adviser's analysis regarding fund performance that occurred at these Board meetings with particular focus on funds that were considered performance outliers (both overperformance and underperformance); the factors contributing to the performance; and any recommendations or steps taken to address performance concerns. Regardless of the time period reviewed by the Board, the Board recognized that shareholders may evaluate performance based on their own holding periods which may differ from the periods reviewed by the Board and lead to differing results.

In its review, the Board reviewed both absolute and relative fund performance during the annual review over the various time periods. With respect to the latter, the Board considered fund performance in comparison to the performance of peer funds (the *"Performance Peer Group"*) and recognized and/or customized benchmarks (*i.e.,* generally benchmarks derived from multiple recognized benchmarks). For Nuveen funds that had changes in portfolio managers or other significant changes to their investment strategies or policies since March 2019, the Board reviewed certain tracking performance data comparing the performance of such funds before and after such changes. In considering performance data, the Board is aware of certain inherent limitations with such data, including that differences between the objective(s), strategies and other characteristics of the Nuveen funds compared to the respective Performance Peer Group and/or benchmark(s); differences in the composition of the Performance Peer Group over time; and differences in the types and/or levels of any leverage and related costs with that of the Performance Peer Group would all necessarily contribute to differences in performance results and limit the value of the comparative information. Further, the Board recognized the inherent limitations in comparing the performance of an actively managed fund to a benchmark index due to the fund's pursuit of an investment strategy that does not directly follow the index. To assist the Board in its review of the comparability of the relative performance, the Adviser has ranked the relevancy of the peer group to the Funds as low, medium or high.

The Board also evaluated performance in light of various relevant factors which may include, among other things, general market conditions, issuer-specific information, asset class information, leverage and fund cash flows. In relation to general market conditions, the Board had recognized the recent periods in 2022 of general market volatility and underperformance. In their review from year to year, the Board Members consider and may place different emphasis on the relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. Further, the Board recognized that the market and economic conditions may significantly impact a fund's performance, particularly over shorter periods, and such performance may be more reflective of such economic or market events and not necessarily reflective of management skill. Accordingly, depending on the facts and circumstances including any differences between the respective Nuveen fund and its benchmark and/or Performance Peer Group, the Board may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that its performance may be below that of its benchmark or peer group for certain periods. However, with respect to any Nuveen funds for which the Board has identified performance issues, the Board monitors such funds closely until performance improves, discusses with the Adviser the reasons for such results, considers whether any steps are necessary or appropriate to address such issues, and reviews the results of any steps undertaken.

Further, although the Fund's performance was below the performance of its blended benchmark for the five-year period ended March 31, 2022, the Fund outperformed its blended benchmark for the one- and three-year periods ended March 31, 2022. The Fund further ranked in the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-year period ended March 31, 2022 and third quartile for the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2022. Based on its review, the Board was generally satisfied with the Fund's overall performance.

**C. Fees, Expenses and Profitability** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1. Fees and Expenses** 

As part of its annual review, the Board considered the contractual management fee and net management fee (the management fee after taking into consideration fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any) paid by a Nuveen fund to the Adviser in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board also considered the total operating expense ratio of a fund before and after any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. More specifically, the Independent Board Members reviewed, among other things, each fund's gross and net management fee rates (*i.e.,* before and after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any) and net total expense ratio in relation to those of a comparable universe of funds (the *"Peer Universe"*) and/or to a more focused subset of comparable funds (the *"Peer Group"*) established by Broadridge (subject to certain exceptions). The Independent Board Members reviewed the methodology Broadridge employed to establish its Peer Universe and Peer Group and recognized that differences between the applicable fund and its respective Peer Universe and/or Peer Group as well as changes to the composition of the Peer Group and/or Peer Universe from year to year may limit some of the value of the comparative data. The Independent Board Members take these limitations and differences into account when reviewing comparative peer data. The Independent Board Members also considered a fund's operating expense ratio as it more directly reflected the shareholder's costs in investing in the respective fund.

In their review, the Independent Board Members considered, in particular, each fund with a net expense ratio of six basis points or higher compared to that of its peer average (each, an *"Expense Outlier Fund"*) and an analysis as to the factors contributing to each such fund's higher relative net expense ratio. Accordingly, in reviewing the comparative data between a fund and its peers, the Board generally considered the fund's net expense ratio and fees to be higher if they were over 10 basis points higher, slightly higher if they were 6 to 10 basis points higher, in line if they were within approximately 5 basis points higher than the peer average and below if they were below the peer average of the Peer Group. The Independent Board Members also considered, in relevant part, a fund's net management fee and net total expense ratio in light of its performance history.

In their review of the fee arrangements for the Nuveen funds, the Independent Board Members considered the management fee schedules, including the complex-wide and fund-level breakpoint schedules, and the expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers provided by Nuveen for each fund, as applicable. The Board noted that across the Nuveen fund complex, the complex-wide fee breakpoints reduced fees by approximately $72.5 million and fund-level breakpoints reduced fees by approximately $89.1 million in 2021. Further, fee caps and waivers for all applicable Nuveen funds saved approximately an additional $13.6 million in fees for shareholders in 2021.

------

With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board also considered, among other things, the sub-advisory fee schedule paid to the Sub-Adviser in light of the sub-advisory services provided to the respective Fund and comparative data of the fees the Sub-Adviser charges to other clients, if any. In its review, the Board recognized that the compensation paid to the Sub-Adviser is the responsibility of the Adviser, not the Funds.

The Independent Board Members noted that (a) the Global Infrastructure Fund had a net management fee that was in line with the peer average and a net expense ratio that was below the peer average; (b) the Global Real Estate Securities Fund had a net management fee and a net expense ratio that were below the respective peer average; (c) the Real Asset Income Fund had a net management fee that was higher than the peer average, but a net expense ratio that was below the peer average; and (d) the Real Estate Securities Fund had a net management fee and a net expense ratio that were in line with the respective peer average.

Based on its review of the information provided, the Board determined that each Fund's management fees (as applicable) to a Fund Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2. Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients** 

In determining the appropriateness of fees, the Board also considered information regarding the fee rates the respective Fund Advisers charged to certain other types of clients and the type of services provided to these other clients. With respect to the Adviser and/or the Sub-Adviser, such other clients may include: retail and institutional managed accounts advised by the Sub-Adviser; hedge funds or other structured products managed by the Sub-Adviser; investment companies offered outside the Nuveen family and sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser; foreign investment companies offered by Nuveen and sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser; and collective investment trusts sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser. The Board further noted that the Adviser also advised, and the Sub-Adviser sub-advised, certain exchange-traded funds (*"ETFs"*) sponsored by Nuveen. The Board recognized that each Fund had an affiliated sub-adviser and, with respect to affiliated sub-advisers, the Board reviewed, among other things, the range of fees assessed for managed accounts, hedge funds (along with their performance fee), foreign investment companies and ETFs offered by Nuveen, as applicable. The Board also reviewed the fee range and average fee rate of certain selected investment strategies offered in retail and institutional managed accounts advised by the Sub-Adviser, the hedge funds advised by the Sub-Adviser (along with their performance fee) and non-Nuveen investment companies sub-advised by certain affiliated sub-advisers.

In considering the fee data of other clients, the Board recognized, among other things, that differences in the amount, type and level of services provided to the Nuveen funds relative to other types of clients as well as any differences in portfolio investment policies, the types of assets managed and related complexities in managing such assets, the entrepreneurial and other risks associated with a particular strategy, investor profiles, account sizes and regulatory requirements will contribute to the variations in the fee schedules. The Board recognized the breadth of services the Adviser had provided to the Nuveen funds compared to these other types of clients as the funds operate in a highly regulated industry with increasing regulatory requirements as well as the increased entrepreneurial, legal and regulatory risks that the Adviser incurs in sponsoring and managing the funds. Similarly, with respect to foreign funds, the Board recognized that the differences in the client base, governing bodies, distribution jurisdiction and operational complexities would also contribute to variations in management fees of the Nuveen funds compared to those of the foreign funds. Further, with respect to ETFs, the Board considered that certain Nuveen ETFs were passively managed compared to the active management of other Nuveen funds which also contributed to the differences in fee levels between such Nuveen ETFs and the actively-managed funds. In general, higher fee levels reflect higher levels of service provided by the Adviser, increased investment management complexity, greater product management requirements, and higher levels of business risk or some combination of these factors. The Board further considered that the Sub-Adviser's fee is essentially for portfolio management services and therefore more comparable to the fees it receives for retail wrap accounts and other external sub-advisory mandates. The Board concluded the varying levels of fees were justified given, among other things, the inherent differences in the products and the level of services provided to the Nuveen funds versus other clients, the differing regulatory requirements and legal liabilities and the entrepreneurial, legal and regulatory risks incurred in sponsoring and advising a registered investment company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3. Profitability of Fund Advisers** 

In their review, the Independent Board Members considered information regarding Nuveen's level of profitability for its advisory services to the Nuveen funds for the calendar years 2021 and 2020. The Board reviewed, among other things, the net margins (pre-tax) for Nuveen Investments, Inc. (*"Nuveen Investments"*), the gross and net revenue margins (pre- and post-tax and excluding distribution) and the revenues, expenses and net income (pre- and post-tax and before distribution expenses) of Nuveen Investments from the Nuveen funds only; and comparative profitability data comparing the operating margins of Nuveen Investments compared to the adjusted operating margins of certain peers that had publicly available data and with the most comparable assets under management (based on asset size and asset composition) for each of the last two calendar years. The Board also reviewed the revenues, expenses and operating margin (pre- and post-tax) the Adviser derived from its ETF product line for the 2021 and 2020 calendar years.

In reviewing the profitability data, the Independent Board Members recognized the subjective nature of calculating profitability as the information is not audited and is dependent on cost allocation methodologies to allocate corporate-wide overhead/shared service expenses, TIAA (defined below) corporate-wide overhead expenses and partially fund related expenses to the Nuveen complex and its affiliates and to further allocate such

------

**Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process** (Unaudited) (continued)

expenses between the Nuveen fund and non-fund businesses. The Independent Board Members reviewed a description of the cost allocation methodologies employed to develop the financial information, a summary of the history of changes to the methodology over the years from 2010 to 2021, and the net revenue margins derived from the Nuveen funds (pre-tax and including and excluding distribution) and total company margins from Nuveen Investments compared to the firm-wide adjusted operating margins of the peers for each calendar year from 2012 to 2021.

The Board had also appointed four Independent Board Members to serve as the Board's liaisons, with the assistance of independent counsel, to review the development of the profitability data and to report to the full Board. In its evaluation, the Board, however, recognized that other reasonable and valid allocation methodologies could be employed and could lead to significantly different results. The Independent Board Members also reviewed a summary of the key drivers that affected Nuveen's revenues and expenses impacting profitability in 2021 versus 2020.

In reviewing the comparative peer data noted above, the Board considered that the operating margins of Nuveen Investments compared favorably to the peer group range of operating margins; however, the Independent Board Members also recognized the limitations of the comparative data given that peer data is not generally public and the calculation of profitability is subjective and affected by numerous factors (such as types of funds a peer manages, its business mix, its cost of capital, the numerous assumptions underlying the methodology used to allocate expenses and other factors) that can have a significant impact on the results.

Aside from Nuveen's profitability, the Board recognized that the Adviser is a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC, the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (*"TIAA"*). Accordingly, the Board also reviewed a balance sheet for TIAA reflecting its assets, liabilities and capital and contingency reserves for the 2021 and 2020 calendar years to consider the financial strength of TIAA. The Board recognized the benefit of an investment adviser and its parent with significant resources, particularly during periods of market volatility. The Board also noted the reinvestments Nuveen, its parent and/or other affiliates made into its business through, among other things, the investment of seed capital in certain Nuveen funds and continued investments in enhancements to technological capabilities.

In addition to Nuveen, the Independent Board Members considered the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from its relationships with the Nuveen funds. In this regard, the Independent Board Members reviewed, among other things, the Sub-Adviser's revenues, expenses and net revenue margins (pre- and post-tax) for its advisory activities to the respective funds for the calendar years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Independent Board Members also reviewed a profitability analysis reflecting the revenues, expenses and revenue margin (pre- and post-tax) by asset type for the Sub-Adviser for the calendar years ending December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and the pre- and post-tax revenue margins from 2021 and 2020.

In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent Board Members also considered any other ancillary benefits derived by the respective Fund Adviser from its relationship with the Nuveen funds as discussed in further detail below.

Based on a consideration of all the information provided, the Board noted that Nuveen's and the Sub-Adviser's level of profitability was acceptable and not unreasonable in light of the services provided.

**D. Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale** 

The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Nuveen funds and whether these economies of scale have been appropriately shared with the funds. The Board recognized that although economies of scale are difficult to measure and certain expenses may not decline with a rise in assets, there are several methods to help share the benefits of economies of scale, including breakpoints in the management fee schedule, fee waivers and/or expense limitations, the pricing of Nuveen funds at scale at inception and investments in Nuveen's business which can enhance the services provided to the funds for the fees paid. The Board noted that Nuveen generally has employed these various methods, and the Board considered the extent to which the Nuveen funds will benefit from economies of scale as their assets grow. In this regard, the Board recognized that the management fee of the Adviser is generally comprised of a fund-level component and a complex-level component each with its own breakpoint schedule, subject to certain exceptions. The Board reviewed the fund-level and complex-level fee schedules. The Board considered that the fund-level breakpoint schedules are designed to share economies of scale with shareholders if the particular fund grows, and the complex-level breakpoint schedule is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to shareholders when the eligible assets in the complex pass certain thresholds even if the assets of a particular fund are unchanged or have declined.

In addition to the fund-level and complex-level fee schedules, the Independent Board Members considered the temporary and/or permanent expense caps applicable to certain Nuveen funds (including the amounts of fees waived or amounts reimbursed to the respective funds in 2021 and 2020), including the temporary expense caps applicable to the Funds. The Board recognized that such waivers and reimbursements applicable to the respective Nuveen funds are another means for potential economies of scale to be shared with shareholders of such funds and can provide a protection from an increase in expenses if the assets of the applicable funds decline. As noted above, the Independent Board Members also recognized the continued reinvestment in Nuveen's business.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the current fee arrangements together with the reinvestment in Nuveen's business appropriately shared any economies of scale with shareholders.

------

**E. Indirect Benefits** 

The Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding other benefits the respective Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationship with the Nuveen funds. The Independent Board Members recognized that an affiliate of the Adviser serves as principal underwriter providing distribution and/or shareholder services to the open-end funds. The Independent Board Members further noted that, subject to certain exceptions, certain classes of the Nuveen open-end funds pay 12b-1 fees and while a majority of such fees were paid to third party financial intermediaries, the Board reviewed the amount retained by the Adviser's affiliate.

In addition, the Independent Board Members also noted that various sub-advisers (including the Sub-Adviser) may engage in soft dollar transactions pursuant to which they may receive the benefit of research products and other services provided by broker-dealers executing portfolio transactions on behalf of the applicable Nuveen funds. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser reimburses the various funds that it sub-advises that invest in equity securities (subject to certain exceptions that include the Funds) for the research-related component of soft dollar commissions. However, the Board recognized that these costs will be phased out for the Funds effective January 1, 2023. Further, the Board noted that any benefits for a sub-adviser when transacting in fixed-income securities may be more limited as such securities generally trade on a principal basis and therefore do not generate brokerage commissions.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that any indirect benefits received by a Fund Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Funds were reasonable and within acceptable parameters.

**F. Other Considerations** 

The Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including the Independent Board Members, concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement were reasonable, that the respective Fund Adviser's fees were reasonable in light of the services provided to each Fund and that the Advisory Agreements be renewed.

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