There is no guarantee the Funds’ stated investment objectives will be achieved. Dividend-paying stocks, such as those held by the Nuveen Santa Barbara Dividend Growth Fund, are subject to market risk, concentration or sector risk, preferred security risk, and common stock risk. Smaller company stocks are subject to greater volatility. Foreign investments involve additional risks including currency fluctuations, political and economic instability, and lack of liquidity. Equity investments, such as those held by the Nuveen Symphony Low Volatility Fund, may decline significantly in price over short or extended periods of time. Therefore, even if the Fund is able to maintain a portfolio with lower volatility than the broad equity market, the Fund’s returns and the value of the Fund’s shares will be volatile. Equity investments such as those held by the Nuveen Real Asset Income Fund, are subject to market risk, call risk, derivatives risk, other investment companies risk, common stock risk, and tax risks associated with MLPs. 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 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. Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are subject to additional risks such as prepayment risk, liquidity risk, default risk and adverse economic developments.
