MEMORIALIZATION OF CHANGES
TO THE COMPLEX-LEVEL FEE IN

NUVEEN OPEN-END AND CLOSED-END FUND
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

 

MEMORIALIZATION made as of this 1st day of May, 2024, by and between Nuveen Open-End, Interval and Closed-End Funds (excluding Nuveen Exchange-Traded Funds) listed on Exhibit A (the “Funds”), and Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Adviser”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H

 

WHEREAS, each Investment Management Agreement between each of the Funds and the Adviser currently in effect includes, as a component of the management fee to be paid by each Fund to the Adviser, a Complex-Level Fee (capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall be as defined in each Fund’s respective Investment Management Agreement);

 

WHEREAS, the Adviser and the Board of Directors/Trustees of each of the Funds (the “Board”) have agreed to a revised Complex-Level Fee schedule and to include certain assets of the mutual funds overseen by the Board and advised by Teachers Advisors, LLC as Complex-Level Assets for purposes of calculating the Complex-Level Fee, which will have the effect of reducing the fees paid to the Adviser by the Funds.

 

NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereby memorialize that understanding by replacing the description of the Complex-Level Fee included in each Fund’s Investment Management Agreement with the following:

 

The Complex-Level Fee for each Fund shall be computed by applying the Complex-Level Fee Rate to the average total daily net assets of the Fund if it is an open-end registered investment company or the average total daily managed assets of the Fund if it is a closed-end registered investment company. The Complex-Level Fee Rate shall be determined based upon the aggregate daily net assets of all Eligible Funds, as defined below (with such daily net assets to include — in the case of Eligible Funds whose advisory fees are calculated by reference to net assets that include net assets attributable to preferred stock issued by or borrowings by the Eligible Fund — such leveraging net assets) (such assets referred to as “Complex-Level Assets”), and shall be computed by applying the following annual rate to the average daily Complex-Level Assets:

 

 

 

 

Complex-Level Asset Breakpoint Level   Complex-Level
Fee Rate at
Breakpoint
Level  For the first $124.3 billion   0.1600%
For the next $75.7 billion   0.1350%
For the next $200 billion   0.1325%
For amounts over $400 billion   0.1300%

 

Except as described below, “Eligible Funds,” for purposes of the Agreement, shall mean all Nuveen-branded closed-end and open-end registered investment companies organized in the United States. Eligible Funds do not include Nuveen-branded exchange-traded open-end registered investment companies, Nuveen-branded open-end registered investment companies operating as funds-of-funds, Nuveen-branded open-end registered investment companies operating as money market funds, Nuveen-branded open-end registered investment companies operating as index funds, Nuveen Large Cap Responsible Equity Fund or Nuveen Life Large Cap Responsible Equity Fund. Eligible Funds include the active equity and fixed income Nuveen-branded open-end registered investment companies advised by Teachers Advisors, LLC (except those identified immediately above) (the “Eligible TAL-Advised Funds”); however, Complex-Level Assets will include only the specified percentage of the aggregate average daily net assets of the Eligible TAL-Advised Funds as of the dates noted in the following schedule:

 

Effective Date Percent of Eligible TAL-Advised Fund
Assets Included as Complex-Level Assets
May 1, 2024 11.00%
May 1, 2025 21.00%
May 1, 2026 31.00%
May 1, 2027 41.00%
May 1, 2028 51.00%
May 1, 2029 61.00%
May 1, 2030 71.00%
May 1, 2031 81.00%
May 1, 2032 91.00%
May 1, 2033 100.00%

 

Any open-end or closed-end funds that subsequently become a Nuveen-branded fund because either (a) Nuveen, LLC or its affiliates acquire the investment adviser to such funds (or the adviser’s parent), or (b) Nuveen, LLC or its affiliates acquire the fund’s adviser’s rights under the management agreement for such fund (in either case, such acquisition an “Acquisition” and such fund an “Acquired Fund”), will be evaluated by both Nuveen management and the Nuveen Funds’ Board, on a case-by-case basis, as to whether or not the assets of such Acquired Funds would be included in Complex-Level Assets and, if so, whether there would be a basis for any adjustments to the complex-level breakpoint schedule and/or its application. Any such adjustments would be reflected in a future amendment to the Agreement.

 

 

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Fund and the Adviser have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the day and year above written.
