An underlying fund also pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities. A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s sub-adviser expects to make asset reallocation decisions on a monthly basis, although it may make these decisions more frequently if warranted by market conditions. Although the Fund is expected to have a low portfolio turnover rate, the underlying funds may trade securities frequently. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 30% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.3 Principal Investment Strategies The value of your investment in this Fund will change daily, which means you could lose money. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include: Additional Expenses—Investing in the underlying funds and in unaffiliated pooled investment vehicles through an investment in the Fund involves additional expenses that would not be present in a direct investment in the underlying funds and unaffiliated investment companies. Commodities Risk—Commodities markets historically have been extremely volatile, and the performance of securities and other instruments that provide exposure to those markets therefore also may be highly volatile. Derivatives Risk—The use of derivatives involves additional risks, such as liquidity, interest rate, counterparty, market, credit and management risks, and transaction costs which could leave the Fund or an underlying fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments. Derivatives may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest. As a result, a small investment in derivatives could have a large impact on performance. Recent legislation requires the development of a new regulatory framework for the derivatives market. The impact of the new regulations is still unknown, but has the potential to increase the costs of using derivatives, may limit the availability of some forms of derivatives or a Fund’s ability to use derivatives, and may adversely affect the performance of some derivative instruments used by a Fund as well as the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment objective through the use of such instruments. Market Risk—The market values of the Fund’s and the underlying funds’ investments may decline, at times sharply and unpredictably. Risks Associated with the Underlying Funds—Because the Fund’s assets are invested primarily in shares of the underlying funds, the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the investment performance and risks of the underlying funds. In summarizing the risks of the underlying funds below, the Fund has organized the discussion into those risks typically associated with underlying funds that invest in equity securities (“Equity Funds”), those risks typically associated with underlying funds that invest in fixed income securities (“Fixed Income Funds”) and those risks generally associated with all of the underlying funds (absolute return funds generally have exposure to equity securities and fixed income securities). Certain underlying funds are subject to additional principal risks, which are described in the Fund’s prospectus. Equity Funds Equity Security Risk—Equity securities may decline significantly in price over short or extended periods of time, and such declines may occur in the equity market as a whole, or they may occur in only a particular country, company, industry, or sector of the market. Fixed Income Funds Call Risk—If an issuer calls higher-yielding debt instruments held by an underlying fund, performance could be adversely impacted. Credit Risk—Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a debt security may be unable or unwilling to make interest and principal payments when due and the related risk that the value of a debt security may decline because of concerns about the issuer’s ability or willingness to make such payments. In addition, parties to other financial contracts with an underlying fund could default on their obligations. High Yield Securities Risk—High yield securities are high risk investments that may cause income and principal losses for the Fund and the underlying funds. They generally have greater credit risk, are less liquid, and have more volatile prices than investment grade securities. Income Risk—An underlying fund’s income could decline during periods of falling interest rates. Interest Rate Risk—Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of an underlying fund’s portfolio will decline because of rising interest rates. When interest rates change, the values of longer-duration debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-duration debt securities. Political and Economic Risks—The value of an underlying fund that invests primarily in municipal bonds may be adversely affected by local political and economic conditions and developments. Adverse conditions in an industry significant to a local economy could have a correspondingly adverse effect on the financial condition of local issuers. All Underlying Funds Non-U.S./Emerging Markets Risk—Non-U.S. issuers or U.S. issuers with significant non-U.S. operations may be subject to risks in addition to those of issuers located in or that principally operate in the United States as a result of, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad and different legal, regulatory and tax environments. These additional risks may be heightened for securities of issuers located in, or with significant operations in, emerging market countries. Also, changes in currency exchange rates may affect an underlying fund’s net asset value, the value of dividends and interest earned, and gains and losses realized on the sale of securities. Principal Risks The Fund is a “fund of funds” which invests primarily in a variety of other mutual funds that are also advised by the Fund’s investment adviser (the “underlying funds”). The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by providing high allocations to various underlying funds that invest primarily in equity securities, including small company and international company equity securities, with relatively little emphasis on underlying funds that invest primarily in fixed income securities. The Fund may invest in an underlying fund that is an absolute return fund in an effort to enhance the Fund’s returns and mitigate risk by holding an investment believed to have a reduced level of correlation with the equity and fixed income markets. In addition to investing in the underlying funds, the Fund also may invest in securities that will expose the Fund to the performance of a commodity or commodity index, including, but not limited to, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in such securities. The Fund may invest in ETFs (in addition to those providing commodities exposure), closed-end investment companies, and other investment companies not affiliated with the Fund, provided that the Fund invests no more than 10% of its total assets, collectively, in unaffiliated pooled investment vehicles (other than certain money market funds). The Fund may utilize the following derivatives: options; futures contracts; options on futures contracts; interest rate caps, collars, and floors; foreign currency contracts; and options on foreign currencies. The Fund may use these derivatives in an attempt to manage market risk, currency risk, credit risk and yield curve risk; to manage the effective maturity or duration of securities in the Fund’s, or underlying fund’s, portfolio; or for speculative purposes in an effort to increase the Fund’s yield or to enhance returns. The Fund may also use derivatives to gain exposure to non-dollar denominated securities markets. The use of a derivative is speculative if the Fund is primarily seeking to enhance returns, rather than offset the risk of other positions. When the Fund invests in a derivative for speculative purposes, the Fund will be fully exposed to the risks of loss of that derivative, which may sometimes be greater than the derivative’s cost. The Fund will limit its direct investments in derivatives such that it will not be subject to regulation as a commodity pool. The Fund has targets for allocating its assets among the underlying funds and other securities, which are set forth in the following table as a percentage of the Fund’s total assets. The sub-adviser uses these target allocations as general guides in setting the Fund’s actual allocation. Actual allocations may be adjusted within the allocation ranges set forth in the table in order to take advantage of current or expected market conditions, or to manage risk. Normally, the Fund’s allocation to Cash Equivalents (defined as cash, money market funds, U.S. dollar-denominated high-quality money market instruments and other short-term securities) will not exceed the maximum set forth in the table. However, the Fund may temporarily invest without limit in Cash Equivalents in an attempt to respond to adverse market, economic, political, or other conditions. Investing a significant portion of the Fund’s assets in these securities may prevent the Fund from achieving its objective. <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr><td width="80%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="7%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="9%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Target Allocation</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">    </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Allocation Range</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top">Equity Funds</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">86</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td> <td valign="bottom">    </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">55-100</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top">Fixed Income Funds</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">2</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td> <td valign="bottom">    </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">0-45</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top">Absolute Return Funds</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">7</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td> <td valign="bottom">    </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">0-20</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top">Other Securities*</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">5</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td> <td valign="bottom">    </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">0-10</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="top">Cash Equivalents</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" align="right">0</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">    </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" align="right">0-35</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td></tr></table> <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td valign="top" width="1%" align="left">*</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Includes ETFs, closed-end investment companies, and other non-money market investment companies not affiliated with the Fund as well as securities that provide the Fund with exposure to the performance of commodities. </td></tr></table> The value of your investment in this Fund will change daily, which means you could lose money.

You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in the Fund or in other Nuveen Mutual Funds. More information about these and other discounts, as well as eligibility requirements for each share class, is available from your financial advisor and in “What Share Classes We Offer” on page 36 of the Fund’s prospectus, ”How to Reduce Your Sales Charge” on page 38 of the prospectus and “Purchase and Redemption of Fund Shares” on page S-72 of the Fund’s statement of additional information.

The performance of the other share classes will differ due to their different expense structures. The bar chart and highest/lowest quarterly returns that follow do not reflect sales charges, and if these charges were reflected, the returns would be less than those shown. 0.0018 The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio), except that it does not pay transaction costs for buying and selling shares of the underlying funds. An underlying fund also pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities. A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s sub-adviser expects to make asset reallocation decisions on a monthly basis, although it may make these decisions more frequently if warranted by market conditions. Although the Fund is expected to have a low portfolio turnover rate, the underlying funds may trade securities frequently. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 32% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.0018 0.0018 0.0018 0.0018 0.32 0.0085 0.0085 0.0085 0.0085 0.0085 0.0138 0.0213 0.0213 0.0163 0.0113 -0.0013 -0.0013 -0.0013 -0.0013 -0.0013 Principal Investment Strategies The table below shows the variability of the Fund’s average annual returns and how they compare over the time periods indicated with those of a broad measure of market performance and an index of funds with similar investment objectives. Previously, the Fund used the Dow Jones Moderately Aggressive U.S. Portfolio Index as a benchmark. Going forward, the Fund’s performance will be compared to the Morningstar Aggressive Target Risk Index because it more closely reflects the Fund’s investment universe. All after-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. After-tax returns are shown for Class A shares only; after-tax returns for other share classes will vary. Your own actual after-tax returns will depend on your specific tax situation and may differ from what is shown here. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold Fund shares in tax-deferred accounts such as IRAs or employer-sponsored retirement plans. Both the bar chart and the table assume that all distributions have been reinvested. Performance reflects fee waivers, if any, in effect during the periods presented. If any such waivers were not in place, returns would be reduced. 0.0125 0.02 0.02 0.015 0.01 Average Annual Total Returns for the Periods Ended December 31, 2011 -0.1003 -0.1024 The Fund is a “fund of funds” which invests primarily in a variety of other mutual funds that are also advised by the Fund’s investment adviser (the “underlying funds”). The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by providing high allocations to various underlying funds that invest primarily in equity securities, including small company and international company equity securities, with relatively little emphasis on underlying funds that invest primarily in fixed income securities. The Fund may invest in an underlying fund that is an absolute return fund in an effort to enhance the Fund’s returns and mitigate risk by holding an investment believed to have a reduced level of correlation with the equity and fixed income markets. In addition to investing in the underlying funds, the Fund also may invest in securities that will expose the Fund to the performance of a commodity or commodity index, including, but not limited to, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in such securities. The Fund may invest in ETFs (in addition to those providing commodities exposure), closed-end investment companies, and other investment companies not affiliated with the Fund, provided that the Fund invests no more than 10% of its total assets, collectively, in unaffiliated pooled investment vehicles (other than certain money market funds). The Fund may utilize the following derivatives: options; futures contracts; options on futures contracts; interest rate caps, collars, and floors; foreign currency contracts; and options on foreign currencies. The Fund may use these derivatives in an attempt to manage market risk, currency risk, credit risk and yield curve risk; to manage the effective maturity or duration of securities in the Fund’s, or underlying fund’s, portfolio; or for speculative purposes in an effort to increase the Fund’s yield or to enhance returns. The Fund may also use derivatives to gain exposure to non-dollar denominated securities markets. The use of a derivative is speculative if the Fund is primarily seeking to enhance returns, rather than offset the risk of other positions. When the Fund invests in a derivative for speculative purposes, the Fund will be fully exposed to the risks of loss of that derivative, which may sometimes be greater than the derivative’s cost. The Fund will limit its direct investments in derivatives such that it will not be subject to regulation as a commodity pool. The Fund has targets for allocating its assets among the underlying funds and other securities, which are set forth in the following table as a percentage of the Fund’s total assets. The sub-adviser uses these target allocations as general guides in setting the Fund’s actual allocation. Actual allocations may be adjusted within the allocation ranges set forth in the table in order to take advantage of current or expected market conditions, or to manage risk. Normally, the Fund’s allocation to Cash Equivalents (defined as cash, money market funds, U.S. dollar-denominated high-quality money market instruments and other short-term securities) will not exceed the maximum set forth in the table. However, the Fund may temporarily invest without limit in Cash Equivalents in an attempt to respond to adverse market, economic, political, or other conditions. Investing a significant portion of the Fund’s assets in these securities may prevent the Fund from achieving its objective.<table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr><td width="80%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="7%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="9%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Target Allocation</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">    </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Allocation Range</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top">Equity Funds</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">72</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td> <td valign="bottom">    </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">45-90</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top">Fixed Income Funds</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">15</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td> <td valign="bottom">    </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">0-55</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top">Absolute Return Funds</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">9</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td> <td valign="bottom">    </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">0-20</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top">Other Securities*</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">4</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td> <td valign="bottom">    </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">0-10</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="top">Cash Equivalents</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" align="right">0</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">    </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" align="right">0-35</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td></tr></table> <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td valign="top" width="1%" align="left">*</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Includes ETFs, closed-end investment companies, and other non-money market investment companies not affiliated with the Fund as well as securities that provide the Fund with exposure to the performance of commodities. </td></tr></table> -0.0651 -0.1002 -0.053 -0.0477 -0.0429 -0.038 0.0145 -0.0124 -0.0113 -0.0141 -0.0103 -0.0088 -0.0069 -0.0019 0.003 -0.0021 0.0226 0.015 0.0327 0.0293 0.0269 0.031 0.0311 0.0368 0.0412 0.0368 0.0519 0.0447 Other Expenses have been restated to reflect current contractual fees.

The value of your investment in this Fund will change daily, which means you could lose money. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include: Additional Expenses—Investing in the underlying funds and in unaffiliated pooled investment vehicles through an investment in the Fund involves additional expenses that would not be present in a direct investment in the underlying funds and unaffiliated investment companies. Commodities Risk—Commodities markets historically have been extremely volatile, and the performance of securities and other instruments that provide exposure to those markets therefore also may be highly volatile. Derivatives Risk—The use of derivatives involves additional risks, such as liquidity, interest rate, counterparty, market, credit and management risks, and transaction costs which could leave the Fund or an underlying fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments. Derivatives may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest. As a result, a small investment in derivatives could have a large impact on performance. Recent legislation requires the development of a new regulatory framework for the derivatives market. The impact of the new regulations is still unknown, but has the potential to increase the costs of using derivatives, may limit the availability of some forms of derivatives or a Fund’s ability to use derivatives, and may adversely affect the performance of some derivative instruments used by a Fund as well as the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment objective through the use of such instruments. Market Risk—The market values of the Fund’s and the underlying funds’ investments may decline, at times sharply and unpredictably. Risks Associated with the Underlying Funds—Because the Fund’s assets are invested primarily in shares of the underlying funds, the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the investment performance and risks of the underlying funds. In summarizing the risks of the underlying funds below, the Fund has organized the discussion into those risks typically associated with underlying funds that invest in equity securities (“Equity Funds”), those risks typically associated with underlying funds that invest in fixed income securities (“Fixed Income Funds”) and those risks generally associated with all of the underlying funds (absolute return funds generally have exposure to equity securities and fixed income securities). Certain underlying funds are subject to additional principal risks, which are described in the Fund’s prospectus. Equity Funds Equity Security Risk—Equity securities may decline significantly in price over short or extended periods of time, and such declines may occur in the equity market as a whole, or they may occur in only a particular country, company, industry, or sector of the market. Fixed Income Funds Call Risk—If an issuer calls higher-yielding debt instruments held by an underlying fund, performance could be adversely impacted. Credit Risk—Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a debt security may be unable or unwilling to make interest and principal payments when due and the related risk that the value of a debt security may decline because of concerns about the issuer’s ability or willingness to make such payments. In addition, parties to other financial contracts with an underlying fund could default on their obligations. High Yield Securities Risk—High yield securities are high risk investments that may cause income and principal losses for the Fund and the underlying funds. They generally have greater credit risk, are less liquid, and have more volatile prices than investment grade securities. Income Risk—An underlying fund’s income could decline during periods of falling interest rates. Interest Rate Risk—Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of an underlying fund’s portfolio will decline because of rising interest rates. When interest rates change, the values of longer-duration debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-duration debt securities. Political and Economic Risks—The value of an underlying fund that invests primarily in municipal bonds may be adversely affected by local political and economic conditions and developments. Adverse conditions in an industry significant to a local economy could have a correspondingly adverse effect on the financial condition of local issuers. All Underlying Funds Non-U.S./Emerging Markets Risk—Non-U.S. issuers or U.S. issuers with significant non-U.S. operations may be subject to risks in addition to those of issuers located in or that principally operate in the United States as a result of, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad and different legal, regulatory and tax environments. These additional risks may be heightened for securities of issuers located in, or with significant operations in, emerging market countries. Also, changes in currency exchange rates may affect an underlying fund’s net asset value, the value of dividends and interest earned, and gains and losses realized on the sale of securities. Fund Performance All after-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Portfolio Turnover The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the potential risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available at www.nuveen.com/MutualFunds/PricingPerformance/Performance.aspx or by calling (800) 257-8787. After-tax returns are shown for Class A shares only; after-tax returns for other share classes will vary. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio), except that it does not pay transaction costs for buying and selling shares of the underlying funds. An underlying fund also pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities. A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s sub-adviser expects to make asset reallocation decisions on a monthly basis, although it may make these decisions more frequently if warranted by market conditions. Although the Fund is expected to have a low portfolio turnover rate, the underlying funds may trade securities frequently. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 38% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.38 Principal Investment Strategies January 31, 2014 Redemption The Fund is a “fund of funds” which invests primarily in a variety of other mutual funds that are also advised by the Fund’s investment adviser (the “underlying funds”). The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by generally providing significant allocations both to underlying funds that invest primarily in equity securities and to underlying funds that invest primarily in fixed income securities, but having a higher allocation to equity funds under most market conditions. The Fund may invest in an underlying fund that is an absolute return fund in an effort to enhance the Fund’s returns and mitigate risk by holding an investment believed to have a reduced level of correlation with the equity and fixed income markets. In addition to investing in the underlying funds, the Fund also may invest in securities that will expose the Fund to the performance of a commodity or commodity index, including, but not limited to, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The Fund may invest up to 5% of its total assets in such securities. The Fund may invest in ETFs (in addition to those providing commodities exposure), closed-end investment companies, and other investment companies not affiliated with the Fund, provided that the Fund invests no more than 10% of its total assets, collectively, in unaffiliated pooled investment vehicles (other than certain money market funds).

Example The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of a period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same, and the contractual fee waivers currently in place are not renewed beyond January 31, 2014. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: January 31, 2014 <div style="display:none">~ http://www.nuveen.com/role/ScheduleExpenseExampleNuveenStrategyConservativeAllocationFund column period compact * ~</div> Other Expenses have been restated to reflect current contractual fees. 687 695 195 145 956 935 635 482 1246 1203 1103 844 <div style="display:none">~ http://www.nuveen.com/role/ScheduleExpenseExampleNoRedemptionNuveenStrategyConservativeAllocationFund column period compact * ~</div> 2070 2204 2397 1864 94 326 579 1302 687 195 195 145 94 956 635 635 482 326 1246 1103 1103 844 579 2070 2204 2397 1864 1302 <div style="display:none">~ http://www.nuveen.com/role/ScheduleAnnualTotalReturnsNuveenStrategyConservativeAllocationFundBarChart column period compact * ~</div> The value of your investment in this Fund will change daily, which means you could lose money. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio), except that it does not pay transaction costs for buying and selling shares of the underlying funds. An underlying fund also pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities. A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s sub-adviser expects to make asset reallocation decisions on a monthly basis, although it may make these decisions more frequently if warranted by market conditions. Although the Fund is expected to have a low portfolio turnover rate, the underlying funds may trade securities frequently. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 44% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.44 Principal Investment Strategies The Fund is a “fund of funds” which invests primarily in a variety of other mutual funds that are also advised by the Fund’s investment adviser (the “underlying funds”). The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by providing a high allocation to underlying funds that invest primarily in fixed income securities, but also has a limited exposure to underlying funds that invest primarily in equities, which is designed to help offset inflation and provide a source for potential increases in income over time. The Fund may invest in an underlying fund that is an absolute return fund in an effort to enhance the Fund’s returns and mitigate risk by holding an investment believed to have a reduced level of correlation with the equity and fixed income markets. In addition to investing in the underlying funds, the Fund also may invest in securities that will expose the Fund to the performance of a commodity or commodity index, including, but not limited to, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The Fund may invest up to 5% of its total assets in such securities. The Fund may invest in ETFs (in addition to those providing commodities exposure), closed-end investment companies, and other investment companies not affiliated with the Fund, provided that the Fund invests no more than 10% of its total assets, collectively, in unaffiliated pooled investment vehicles (other than certain money market funds). The Fund may utilize the following derivatives: options; futures contracts; options on futures contracts; interest rate caps, collars, and floors; foreign currency contracts; and options on foreign currencies. The Fund may use these derivatives in an attempt to manage market risk, currency risk, credit risk and yield curve risk; to manage the effective maturity or duration of securities in the Fund’s, or underlying fund’s, portfolio; or for speculative purposes in an effort to increase the Fund’s yield or to enhance returns. The Fund may also use derivatives to gain exposure to non-dollar denominated securities markets. The use of a derivative is speculative if the Fund is primarily seeking to enhance returns, rather than offset the risk of other positions. When the Fund invests in a derivative for speculative purposes, the Fund will be fully exposed to the risks of loss of that derivative, which may sometimes be greater than the derivative’s cost. The Fund will limit its direct investments in derivatives such that it will not be subject to regulation as a commodity pool. The Fund has targets for allocating its assets among the underlying funds and other securities, which are set forth in the following table as a percentage of the Fund’s total assets. The sub-adviser uses these target allocations as general guides in setting the Fund’s actual allocation. Actual allocations may be adjusted within the allocation ranges set forth in the table in order to take advantage of current or expected market conditions, or to manage risk. Normally, the Fund’s allocation to Cash Equivalents (defined as cash, money market funds, U.S. dollar-denominated high-quality money market instruments and other short-term securities) will not exceed the maximum set forth in the table. However, the Fund may temporarily invest without limit in Cash Equivalents in an attempt to respond to adverse market, economic, political, or other conditions. Investing a significant portion of the Fund’s assets in these securities may prevent the Fund from achieving its objective.<table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr><td width="80%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="7%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="9%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Target Allocation</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">    </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Allocation Range</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top">Equity Funds</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">31</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td> <td valign="bottom">    </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">10-55</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top">Fixed Income Funds</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">58</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td> <td valign="bottom">    </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">30-90 </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top">Absolute Return Funds</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">10</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td> <td valign="bottom">    </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">0-20</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top">Other Securities*</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">1</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td> <td valign="bottom">    </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">0-10</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="top">Cash Equivalents</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" align="right">0</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">    </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" align="right">0-35</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">% </td></tr></table> <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td valign="top" width="1%" align="left">*</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Includes ETFs, closed-end investment companies, and other non-money market investment companies not affiliated with the Fund as well as securities that provide the Fund with exposure to the performance of commodities. </td></tr></table> Principal Risks Redemption No Redemption -0.0388 -0.0464 -0.0251 -0.0376 0.0174 0.017 0.0642 0.0206 0.0131 0.0233 0.0254 0.0118 0.0145 0.0282 0.0299 0.0351 0.0403 0.0273 0.059 0.0288 0.0419 0.0289 0.0289 0.0401 0.0402 0.046 0.0507 0.0423 0.059 0.0405 The value of your investment in this Fund will change daily, which means you could lose money. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include: Additional Expenses—Investing in the underlying funds and in unaffiliated pooled investment vehicles through an investment in the Fund involves additional expenses that would not be present in a direct investment in the underlying funds and unaffiliated investment companies. Commodities Risk—Commodities markets historically have been extremely volatile, and the performance of securities and other instruments that provide exposure to those markets therefore also may be highly volatile. Derivatives Risk—The use of derivatives involves additional risks, such as liquidity, interest rate, counterparty, market, credit and management risks, and transaction costs which could leave the Fund or an underlying fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments. Derivatives may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest. As a result, a small investment in derivatives could have a large impact on performance. Recent legislation requires the development of a new regulatory framework for the derivatives market. The impact of the new regulations is still unknown, but has the potential to increase the costs of using derivatives, may limit the availability of some forms of derivatives or a Fund’s ability to use derivatives, and may adversely affect the performance of some derivative instruments used by a Fund as well as the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment objective through the use of such instruments. Market Risk—The market values of the Fund’s and the underlying funds’ investments may decline, at times sharply and unpredictably. Risks Associated with the Underlying Funds—Because the Fund’s assets are invested primarily in shares of the underlying funds, the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the investment performance and risks of the underlying funds. In summarizing the risks of the underlying funds below, the Fund has organized the discussion into those risks typically associated with underlying funds that invest in equity securities (“Equity Funds”), those risks typically associated with underlying funds that invest in fixed income securities (“Fixed Income Funds”) and those risks generally associated with all of the underlying funds (absolute return funds generally have exposure to equity securities and fixed income securities). Certain underlying funds are subject to additional principal risks, which are described in the Fund’s prospectus. Equity Funds Equity Security Risk—Equity securities may decline significantly in price over short or extended periods of time, and such declines may occur in the equity market as a whole, or they may occur in only a particular country, company, industry, or sector of the market. Fixed Income Funds Call Risk—If an issuer calls higher-yielding debt instruments held by an underlying fund, performance could be adversely impacted. Credit Risk—Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a debt security may be unable or unwilling to make interest and principal payments when due and the related risk that the value of a debt security may decline because of concerns about the issuer’s ability or willingness to make such payments. In addition, parties to other financial contracts with an underlying fund could default on their obligations. High Yield Securities Risk—High yield securities are high risk investments that may cause income and principal losses for the Fund and the underlying funds. They generally have greater credit risk, are less liquid, and have more volatile prices than investment grade securities. Income Risk—An underlying fund’s income could decline during periods of falling interest rates. Interest Rate Risk—Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of an underlying fund’s portfolio will decline because of rising interest rates. When interest rates change, the values of longer-duration debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-duration debt securities. Political and Economic Risks—The value of an underlying fund that invests primarily in municipal bonds may be adversely affected by local political and economic conditions and developments. Adverse conditions in an industry significant to a local economy could have a correspondingly adverse effect on the financial condition of local issuers. All Underlying Funds Non-U.S./Emerging Markets Risk—Non-U.S. issuers or U.S. issuers with significant non-U.S. operations may be subject to risks in addition to those of issuers located in or that principally operate in the United States as a result of, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad and different legal, regulatory and tax environments. These additional risks may be heightened for securities of issuers located in, or with significant operations in, emerging market countries. Also, changes in currency exchange rates may affect an underlying fund’s net asset value, the value of dividends and interest earned, and gains and losses realized on the sale of securities. The value of your investment in this Fund will change daily, which means you could lose money. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of a period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same, and the contractual fee waivers currently in place are not renewed beyond January 31, 2014. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: The Fund previously showed Annual Total Returns for Class R3.
