IMPORTANT
DISTRIBUTION
NOTICE
for
Shareholders
of
the
Nuveen
Real
Estate
Income
Fund
(JRS)
Semi-annual
Shareholder
Report
for
the
period
ending
June
30,
2023
The
Nuveen
Real
Estate
Income
Fund
(JRS)
seek
to
offer
attractive
cash
flow
to
its
shareholders,
by
converting
the
expected
long-term
total
return
potential
of
the
Fund’s
investments
in
REITs
into
regular
quarterly
distributions.
Following
is
a
discussion
of
the
Managed
Distribution
Policy
the
Fund
uses
to
achieve
this.
The
Fund
pays
quarterly
common
share
distributions
that
seek
to
convert
the
Fund’s
expected
long-term
total
return
potential
into
regular
cash
flow.
As
a
result,
the
Fund’s
regular
common
share
distributions
(presently
$0.1700
per
share)
may
be
derived
from
a
variety
of
sources,
including:
distributions
from
portfolio
companies
(REITs),
realized
capital
gains
or,
Possibly,
returns
of
capital
representing
in
certain
cases
unrealized
capital
appreciation.
Such
distributions
are
sometimes
referred
to
as
“managed
distributions.”
The
Fund
seeks
to
establish
a
distribution
rate
that
roughly
corresponds
to
the
Adviser’s
projections
of
the
total
return
that
could
reasonably
be
expected
to
be
generated
by
the
Fund
over
an
extended
period
of
time.
The
Adviser
may
consider
many
factors
when
making
such
projections,
including,
but
not
limited
to,
long-
term
historical
returns
for
the
asset
classes
in
which
the
Fund
invests.
As
portfolio
and
market
conditions
change,
the
distribution
amount
and
distribution
rate
on
the
Common
Shares
under
the
Fund’s
Managed
Distribution
Policy
could
change.
When
it
pays
a
distribution,
the
Fund
provides
holders
of
its
Common
Shares
a
notice
of
the
estimated
sources
of
the
Fund’s
distributions
(i.e.,
what
percentage
of
the
distributions
is
estimated
to
constitute
ordinary
income,
short-term
capital
gains,
long-
term
capital
gains,
and/or
a
non-taxable
return
of
capital)
on
a
year-to-date
basis.
It
does
this
by
posting
the
notice
on
its
website
(www.nuveen.com/cef),
and
by
sending
it
in
written
form.
You
should
not
draw
any
conclusions
about
the
Fund’s
investment
performance
from
the
amount
of
this
distribution
or
from
the
terms
of
the
Fund’s
Managed
Distribution
Policy.
The
Fund’s
actual
financial
performance
will
likely
vary
from
month-to-month
and
from
year-to-year,
and
there
may
be
extended
periods
when
the
distribution
rate
will
exceed
the
Fund’s
actual
total
returns.
The
Managed
Distribution
Policy
provides
that
the
Board
may
amend
or
terminate
the
Policy
at
any
time
without
prior
notice
to
Fund
shareholders.
There
are
presently
no
reasonably
foreseeable
circumstances
that
might
cause
the
Fund
to
terminate
its
Managed
Distribution
Policy.

Chair’s
Letter
to
Shareholders
Dear
Shareholders,
The
significant
measures
taken
by
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(Fed)
and
other
global
central
banks
since
2022
to
contain
inflation
have
begun
to
take
effect.
From
March
2022
to
July
2023,
the
Fed
raised
the
target
fed
funds
rate
by
5.25%
to
a
range
of
5.25%
to
5.50%.
Even
with
a
brief
pause
in
June
2023,
this
has
been
one
of
the
fastest
interest
rate
hiking
cycles
in
the
Fed’s
history.
Inflation
rates
in
the
U.S.
and
across
most
of
the
world
have
fallen
from
their
post-pandemic
highs
but
currently
remain
above
the
levels
that
central
banks
consider
supportive
of
their
economies’
long-term
growth,
particularly
when
looking
at
core
inflation
measures,
which
exclude
volatile
food
and
energy
prices.
At
the
same
time,
the
U.S.
and
other
large
economies
have
remained
relatively
resilient,
even
as
financial
conditions
have
tightened.
U.S.
gross
domestic
product
accelerated
to
2.4%
in
the
second
quarter
of
2023
from
2.0%
in
the
first
quarter
of
2023,
after
growing
2.1%
in
2022
overall
compared
to
2021.
A
relatively
strong
jobs
market
has
helped
support
consumer
sentiment
and
spending
despite
historically
high
inflation.
Markets
are
concerned
that
these
conditions
could
keep
upward
pressure
on
prices
and
wages
and
continue
to
assess
the
impact
of
the
collapse
of
three
regional
U.S.
banks
(Silicon
Valley
Bank,
Signature
Bank
and
First
Republic
Bank)
and
major
European
bank
Credit
Suisse
in
March
2023.
Fed
officials
are
closely
monitoring
inflation
data
and
other
economic
measures
to
modify
their
rate
setting
activity
based
upon
these
factors
on
a
meeting-by-meeting
basis,
including
pausing
rate
adjustments
at
the
June
2023
meeting
to
assess
the
effects
of
monetary
policy
on
the
economy.
While
uncertainty
has
increased
given
the
unpredictable
outcome
of
tighter
credit
conditions
on
the
economy,
the
Fed
remains
committed
to
acting
until
it
sees
sustainable
progress
toward
its
inflation
goals.
Additionally,
market
concerns
surrounding
the
U.S.
debt
ceiling
faded
after
the
government
agreed
in
June
2023
to
suspend
the
nation’s
borrowing
limit
until
January
2025,
averting
a
near-term
default
scenario.
In
the
meantime,
markets
are
likely
to
continue
reacting
in
the
short
term
to
news
about
inflation
data,
economic
indicators
and
central
bank
policy.
We
encourage
investors
to
keep
a
long-term
perspective
amid
the
short-term
turbulence.
Your
financial
professional
can
help
you
review
how
well
your
portfolio
is
aligned
with
your
time
horizon,
risk
tolerance
and
investment
goals.
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.

Fund
Leverage
IMPACT
OF
THE
FUND’S
LEVERAGE
STRATEGY
ON
PERFORMANCE
One
important
factor
impacting
the
returns
of
the
Funds’
common
shares
relative
to
their
comparative
benchmarks
was
the
Funds’
use
of
leverage
through
bank
borrowings.
The
Funds
use
leverage
because
our
research
has
shown
that,
over
time,
leveraging
provides
opportunities
for
additional
income.
The
opportunity
arises
when
short-term
rates
that
a
Fund
pays
on
its
leveraging
instruments
are
lower
than
the
interest
the
Fund
earns
on
its
portfolio
of
long-term
bonds
that
it
has
bought
with
the
proceeds
of
that
leverage.
However,
use
of
leverage
can
expose
Fund
common
shares
to
additional
price
volatility.
When
a
Fund
uses
leverage,
the
Fund’s
common
shares
will
experience
a
greater
increase
in
their
net
asset
value
if
the
securities
acquired
through
the
use
of
leverage
increase
in
value,
but
will
also
experience
a
correspondingly
larger
decline
in
their
net
asset
value
if
the
securities
acquired
through
leverage
decline
in
value.
All
this
will
make
the
shares’
total
return
performance
more
variable
over
time.
In
addition,
common
share
income
in
levered
funds
will
typically
decrease
in
comparison
to
unlevered
funds
when
short-term
interest
rates
increase
and
increase
when
short-term
interest
rates
decrease.
In
recent
quarters,
fund
leverage
expenses
have
generally
tracked
the
overall
movement
of
short-term
interest
rates.
While
fund
leverage
expenses
are
higher
than
their
prior
year
lows,
leverage
nevertheless
continues
to
provide
the
opportunity
for
incremental
common
share
income,
particularly
over
longer-term
periods.
The
Funds’
use
of
leverage
contributed
to
relative
performance
over
this
reporting
period.
In
addition,
JRI’s
use
of
leverage
was
accretive
to
overall
common
share
income.
The
Funds
also
continued
to
use
interest
rate
swap
contracts
to
partially
hedge
the
interest
cost
of
leverage.
The
interest
rate
swaps
contributed
to
relative
performance
during
the
reporting
period.
As
of
June
30,
2023,
the
Funds’
percentages
of
leverage
are
as
shown
in
the
accompanying
table.
*
Effective
leverage
is
a
Fund’s
effective
economic
leverage,
and
includes
both
regulatory
leverage
and
the
leverage
effects
of
certain
derivative
and
other
investments
in
a
Fund’s
portfolio
that
increase
the
Fund’s
investment
exposure.
Regulatory
leverage
consists
of
preferred
shares
issued
or
borrowings
of
a
Fund.
Both
of
these
are
part
of
a
Fund’s
capital
structure.
A
Fund,
however,
may
from
time
to
time
borrow
on
a
typically
transient
basis
in
connection
with
its
day-to-day
operations,
primarily
in
connection
with
the
need
to
settle
portfolio
trades.
Such
incidental
borrowings
are
excluded
from
the
calculation
of
a
Fund’s
effective
leverage
ratio.
Regulatory
leverage
is
subject
to
asset
coverage
limits
set
forth
in
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940.
THE
FUNDS’
REGULATORY
LEVERAGE
Bank
Borrowings
As
noted
previously,
the
Funds
employ
leverage
through
the
use
of
bank
borrowings.
The
Funds’
bank
borrowings
activities
are
as
shown
in

DISTRIBUTION
INFORMATION
The
following
19(a)
Notice
presents
JRS’s
most
current
distribution
information
as
of
May
31,
2023
as
required
by
certain
exempted
regulatory
relief
the
Fund
has
received.
Because
the
ultimate
tax
character
of
your
distributions
depends
on
the
Fund’s
performance
for
its
entire
fiscal
year
(which
is
the
calendar
year
for
the
Fund)
as
well
as
certain
fiscal
year-end
(FYE)
tax
adjustments,
estimated
distribution
source
information
you
receive
with
each
distribution
may
differ
from
the
tax
information
reported
to
you
on
your
Fund’s
IRS
Form
1099
statement.
DISTRIBUTION
INFORMATION
AS
OF
MAY
31,
2023
JRS
makes
regular
cash
distributions
to
shareholders
of
a
stated
dollar
amount
per
share.
Subject
to
approval
and
oversight
by
the
Board
of
Trustees,
the
Fund
seeks
to
maintain
a
stable
distribution
level
designed
to
deliver
the
long-term
return
potential
of
the
Fund’s
investment
strategy
through
regular
distributions
(a
“Managed
Distribution
Program”).
The
practice
of
maintaining
a
stable
distribution
level
had
no
material
effect
on
the
Fund’s
investment
strategy
during
the
most
recent
fiscal
period
and
is
not
expected
to
have
such
an
effect
in
future
periods,
however,
distributions
in
excess
of
Fund
returns
will
cause
its
NAV
per
share
to
erode.
For
additional
information,
refer
to
the
distribution
information
section
below
and
in
the
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
herein.
This
notice
provides
shareholders
with
information
regarding
fund
distributions,
as
required
by
current
securities
laws.
You
should
not
draw
any
conclusions
about
the
Fund’s
investment
performance
from
the
amount
of
this
distribution
or
from
the
terms
of
the
Fund’s
Managed
Distribution
Policy.
The
following
table
provides
estimates
of
the
Fund’s
distribution
sources,
reflecting
year-to-date
cumulative
experience
through
the
month-end
prior
to
the
latest
distribution.
The
Fund
attributes
these
estimates
equally
to
each
regular
distribution
throughout
the
year.
Consequently,
the
estimated
information
as
of
the
specified
month-end
shown
below
is
for
the
current
distribution,
and
also
represents
an
updated
estimate
for
all
prior
months
in
the
year.
It
is
estimated
that
the
Fund
has
distributed
more
than
its
income
and
net
realized
capital
gains;
therefore,
a
portion
of
the
distributions
may
be
(and
is
shown
below
as
being
estimated
to
be)
a
return
of
capital.
A
return
of
capital
may
occur,
for
example,
when
some
or
all
of
the
money
that
you
invested
in
the
Fund
is
paid
back
to
you.
A
return
of
capital
distribution
does
not
necessarily
reflect
the
Fund’s
investment
performance
and
should
not
be
confused
with
“yield”
or
“income.”
The
amounts
and
sources
of
distributions
reported
in
this
notice
are
only
estimates
and
are
not
being
provided
for
tax
reporting
purposes.
The
actual
amounts
and
sources
of
the
amounts
for
tax
reporting
purposes
will
depend
upon
the
Fund’s
investment
experience
during
the
remainder
of
its
fiscal
year
and
may
be
subject
to
changes
based
on
tax
regulations.
The
Fund
will
send
you
a
Form
1099-DIV
for
the
calendar
year
that
will
tell
you
how
to
report
these
distributions
for
federal
income
tax
purposes,
which
will
be

JRI
DISTRIBUTION
INFORMATION
The
following
information
regarding
the
Fund’s
distributions
is
current
as
of
June
30,
2023.
This
notice
provides
shareholders
with
information
regarding
Fund
distributions,
as
required
by
current
securities
laws.
You
should
not
draw
any
conclusions
about
the
Fund’s
investment
performance
from
the
amount
of
the
distribution
or
from
the
terms
of
the
Fund’s
Managed
Distribution
Policy.
The
following
table
provides
estimates
of
the
Fund’s
distribution
sources,
reflecting
year-to-date
cumulative
experience
through
the
month-end
prior
to
the
latest
distribution.
The
Fund
attributes
these
estimates
equally
to
each
regular
distribution
throughout
the
year.
Consequently,
the
estimated
information
as
of
the
specified
month-end
shown
below
is
for
the
current
distribution,
and
also
represents
an
updated
estimate
for
all
prior
months
in
the
year.
For
all
funds,
it
is
estimated
that
the
funds
have
distributed
more
than
their
income
and
net
realized
capital
gains;
therefore,
a
portion
of
the
distributions
may
be
(and
is
shown
below
as
being
estimated
to
be)
a
return
of
capital.
A
return
of
capital
may
occur,
for
example,
when
some
or
all
of
the
money
that
you
invested
in
the
Fund
is
paid
back
to
you.
A
return
of
capital
distribution
does
not
necessarily
reflect
the
Fund’s
investment
performance
and
should
not
be
confused
with
“yield”
or
“income.”
The
amounts
and
sources
of
distributions
set
forth
below
are
only
estimates
and
are
not
being
provided
for
tax
reporting
purposes.
The
actual
amounts
and
sources
of
the
amounts
for
tax
reporting
purposes
will
depend
upon
the
Fund’s
investment
experience
during
the
remainder
of
its
fiscal
year
and
may
be
subject
to
changes
based
on
tax
regulations.
The
Fund
will
send
you
a
Form
1099-DIV
for
the
calendar
year
that
will
tell
you
how
to
report
these
distributions
for
federal
income
tax
purposes,
which
will
be
based
on
the
information
from
the
issuer
of
the
security.
More
details
about
the
Fund’s
distributions
and
the
basis
for
these
estimates
are
available
on
www.nuveen.com/cef.
The
following
table
provides
information
regarding
the
Fund’s
common
share
distributions
and
total
return
performance
over
various
time
periods.
This
information
is
intended
to
help
you
better
understand
whether
the
Fund’s
returns
for
the
specified
time
period
were
sufficient
to
meet
its
distributions.

For

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
applicable
to
common
shares
unless
otherwise
noted.
(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,

(“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

are
not
rated
by
any
of
these
national
rating
agencies.
(3)
Variable

security.
The
rate
shown
is
the
coupon
as
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period.
(4)
For

measurement
disclosure
purposes,
investment
classified
as
Level

(5)
Perpetual
security.
Maturity
date
is
not
applicable.
(6)
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.
(7)
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.
(8)
Borrowings
as
a
percentage
of
Total
Investments
is
30.1%.
(9)
The
Fund
may
pledge
up
to
100%
of
its
eligible
investments
(excluding
any
investments
separately
pledged
as
collateral
for
specific
investments
in
derivatives,
when
applicable)
in
the
Portfolio
of
Investments
as
collateral
for
borrowings.
As
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
investments
with
a
value
of
$358,706,444
have
been
pledged
as
collateral
for
borrowings.
(10)
Other
assets
less
liabilities
includes
the
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
of
certain
over-the-counter
(“OTC”)
derivatives
as
presented
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities,
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

for
variation
margin
as
presented
on
the
Statement
of

when

Developments
Regarding
the
Funds’
Control
Share
By-Law:
On
October
5,
2020,
the
Funds
and
certain
other
closed-end
funds
in
the
Nuveen
fund
complex
amended
their
by-laws.
Among
other
things,
the
amended
by-laws
included
provisions
pursuant
to
which,
in
summary,
a
shareholder
who
obtains
beneficial
ownership
of
common
shares
in
a
Control
Share
Acquisition
(as
defined
in
the
by-laws)
shall
have
the
same
voting
rights
as
other
common
shareholders
only
to
the
extent
authorized
by
the
other
disinterested
shareholders
(the
“Control
Share
By-Law”).
On
January
14,
2021,
a
shareholder
of
certain
Nuveen
closed-end
funds
filed
a
civil
complaint
in
the
U.S.
District
Court
for
the
Southern
District
of
New
York
(the
“District
Court”)
against
certain
Nuveen
funds
and
their
trustees,
seeking
a
declaration
that
such
funds’
Control
Share
By-Laws
violate
the
1940
Act,
rescission
of
such
fund’s
Control
Share
By-Laws
and
a
permanent
injunction
against
such
funds
applying
the
Control
Share
By-Laws.
On
February
18,
2022,
the
District
Court
granted
judgment
in
favor
of
the
plaintiff’s
claim
for
rescission
of
such
funds’
Control
Share
By-Laws
and
the
plaintiff’s
declaratory
judgment
claim,
and
declared
that
such
funds’
Control
Share
By-Laws
violate
Section
18(i)
of
the
1940
Act.
Following
review
of
the
judgment
of
the
District
Court,
on
February
22,
2022,
the
Board
of
Trustees
(the
“Board”)
amended
the
Funds’
by-laws
to
provide
that
the
Funds’
Control
Share
By-Law
shall
be
of
no
force
and
effect
for
so
long
as
the
judgment
of
the
District
Court
is
effective
and
that
if
the
judgment
of
the
District
Court
is
reversed,
overturned,
vacated,
stayed,
or
otherwise
nullified,
the
Funds’
Control
Share
By-Law
will
be
automatically
reinstated
and
apply
to
any
beneficial
owner
of
common
shares
acquired
in
a
Control
Share
Acquisition,
regardless
of
whether
such
Control
Share
Acquisition
occurs
before
or
after
such
reinstatement,
for
the
duration
of
the
stay
or
upon
issuance
of
the
mandate
reversing,
overturning,
vacating
or
otherwise
nullifying
the
judgment
of
the
District
Court.
On
February
25,
2022,
the
Board
and
the
Funds
appealed
the
District
Court’s
decision
to
the
U.S.
Court
of
Appeals
for
the
Second
Circuit.

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
net
asset
value
(“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:
The
Funds pay
no
compensation
directly
to
those
of its
officers,
all
of
whom
receive
remuneration
for
their
services
to
the
Funds
from
the
Adviser
or
its
affiliates.
The Board has
adopted
a
deferred
compensation
plan
for
independent
trustees
that
enables
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
Common
Shareholders:
Distributions
to
common 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.
JRS
makes
quarterly
cash
distributions,
while
JRI
makes
monthly
cash
distributions
to
common
shareholders
of
a
stated
dollar
amount
per
share.
Subject
to
approval
and
oversight
by
the
Board,
each
Fund
seeks
to
maintain
a
stable
distribution
level
designed
to
deliver
the
long-term
return
potential
of
each
Fund’s
investment
strategy
through
regular
quarterly
distributions
(a
“Managed
Distribution
Program”).
Total
distributions
during
a
calendar
year
generally
will
be
made
from
each
Fund’s
net
investment
income,
net
realized
capital
gains
and
net
unrealized
capital
gains
in
the
Fund’s
portfolio,
if
any.
The
portion
of
distributions
paid
attributed
to
net
unrealized
gains,
if
any,
is
distributed
from
the
Fund’s
assets
and
is
treated
by
common
shareholders
as
a
non-taxable
distribution
(“return
of
capital”)
for
tax
purposes.
In
the
event
that
total
distributions
during
a
calendar
year
exceed
a
Fund’s
total
return
on
NAV,
the
difference
will
reduce
NAV
per
share.
If
a
Fund’s
total
return
on
NAV
exceeds
total
distributions
during
44
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
(Unaudited)
(continued)
a
calendar
year,
the
excess
will
be
reflected
as
an
increase
in
NAV
per
share.
The
final
determination
of
the
source
and
character
of
all
distributions
paid
by
a
Fund
during
the
fiscal
year
is
made
after
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year
and
is
reflected
in
the
financial
statements
contained
in
the
annual
report
as
of
December
31
each
year.
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
a
Fund’s
portfolio.
Distributions
received
from
certain
securities
in
which
a
Fund
invests,
most
notably
real
estate
investment
trust
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
for
the
previous
year.
The
distribution
is
included
in
a
Fund’s
ordinary
income
until
such
time
a
Fund
is
notified
by
the
issuer
of
the
actual
tax
character.
Foreign
Currency
Transactions
and
Translation:
To
the
extent
that
the
Funds
invest
in
securities
and/or
contracts
that
are
denominated
in
a
currency
other
than
U.S.
dollars,
the
Funds
will
be
subject
to
currency
risk,
which
is
the
risk
that
an
increase
in
the
U.S.
dollar
relative
to
the
foreign
currency
will
reduce
returns
or
portfolio
value.
Generally,
when
the
U.S.
dollar
rises
in
value
against
a
foreign
currency,
the
Funds’
investments
denominated
in
that
currency
will
lose
value
because
their
currency
is
worth
fewer
U.S.
dollars;
the
opposite
effect
occurs
if
the
U.S.
dollar
falls
in
relative
value.
Investments
and
other
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
converted
into
U.S.
dollars
on
a
spot
(i.e.
cash)
basis
at
the
spot
rate
prevailing
in
the
foreign
currency
exchange
market
at
the
time
of
valuation.
Purchases
and
sales
of
investments
and
income
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
on
the
respective
dates
of
such
transactions.
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
the
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
reporting
period,
JRI’s
investments
in
non-U.S.
securities
were
as
follows:
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
the
Funds'
organizational
documents, their
officers
and
trustees
are
indemnified
against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to
the
Funds.
In
addition,
in
the
normal
course
of
business,
the Funds
enter
into
contracts
that
provide
general
indemnifications
to
other
parties.
The
Funds'
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
as
this
would
involve
future
claims
that
may
be
made
against
the Funds
that
have
not
yet
occurred.
However,
the Funds
have
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
certain
foreign
securities,
when
information
is
available.
Non-cash
dividends
received
in
the
form
of
stock,
if
any,
are
recognized
on
the
ex-dividend

Interest
income,
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.
Amendment
fees
are
earned
as
compensation
for
evaluating
and
accepting
changes
to
an
original
senior
loan
agreement
and
are
recognized
when
received.
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
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
The
Funds’
investments
subject
to
netting
agreements
as
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
if
any,
are
further
described
later
in
these
Notes
to
Financial
Statements.
New
Accounting
Pronouncement: 
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
Accounting
Pronouncement:
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
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

(Unaudited)
(continued)
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
pricing
services 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. 
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. 
Swap
contracts
are
marked-to-market
daily
based
upon
a
price
supplied
by
a
pricing
service.
Swaps
are
generally
classified
as
Level
2. 
Repurchase
agreements
are
valued
at
contract
amount
plus
accrued
interest,
which
approximates
market
value.
These
securities
are
generally
classified
as
Level
2.
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

Portfolio
Securities
Unfunded
Commitments:
Pursuant
to
the
terms
of
certain
of
the
variable
rate
senior
loan
agreements,
JRI
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
JRI’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.
Zero
Coupon
Securities:
A
zero
coupon
security
does
not
pay
a
regular
interest
coupon
to
its
holders
during
the
life
of
the
security.
Income
to
the
holder
of
the
security
comes
from
accretion
of
the
difference
between
the
original
purchase
price
of
the
security
at
issuance
and
the
par
value
of
the
security
at
maturity
and
is
effectively
paid
at
maturity.
The
market
prices
of
zero
coupon
securities
generally
are
more
volatile
than
the
market
prices
of
securities
that
pay
interest
periodically.
Purchases
and
Sales:
Long-term
purchases
and
sales during
the
current fiscal
period
were
as
follows:
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.
5.
Derivative
Investments
Each
Fund
is
authorized
to
invest
in
certain
derivative
instruments.
As
defined
by
U.S.
GAAP,
a
derivative
is
a
financial
instrument
whose
value
is
derived
from
an
underlying
security
price,
foreign
exchange
rate,
interest
rate,
index
of
prices
or
rates,
or
other
variables.
Futures
Contracts:
During
the
current
fiscal
period,
JRI
used
U.S.
Treasury
futures
as
part
of
an
overall
portfolio
construction
strategy
to
manage
portfolio
duration
and
yield
curve
exposure.
A
futures
contract
is
an
agreement
between
two
parties
to
buy
and
sell
a
financial
instrument
for
a
set
price
on
a
future
date.
Upon
execution
of
a
futures
contract,
the
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.
Securities
deposited
for
initial
margin,
if
any,
are
identified
in
the
Portfolio
of
Investments
and
cash
deposited
for
initial
margin,
if
any,
is
reflected
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
During
the
period
the
futures
contract
is
open,
changes
in
the
market
value
of
the
contract
are
recognized
as
an
unrealized
gain
or
loss
by
“marking-
to-market”
on
a
daily
basis.
The
Fund
and
the
clearing
broker
are
obligated
to
settle
monies
on
a
daily
basis
representing
the
changes
in
the
value
of
the
contracts.
These
daily
cash
settlements
are
known
as
“variation
margin”
and
is
recognized
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
a
receivable
or
payable
for
variation
margin
on
futures
contracts.
When
the
contract
is
closed
or
expired,
the
Fund
records
a
realized
gain
or
loss

the
difference
between
the
value
of
the
contract
on
the
closing
date
and
value
of
the
contract
when
originally
entered
into.
The
net
realized
gain
or
loss
and
the
change
in
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
on
futures
contracts
held
during
the
period
is
included
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.
The
average
notional
amount
of
futures
contracts
outstanding
during
the
current
fiscal
period
was
as
follows:
Interest
Rate
Swap
Contracts:
The
Funds
may
enter
into
an
interest
rate
swap
contract
to
gain
or
reduce
exposure
to
interest
rates,
to
manage
duration,
the
yield
curve
or
interest
rate
risk.
During
the
current
fiscal
period,
each
Fund
continued
to
utilize
forward
starting
interest
rate
swap
contracts
to
partially
hedge
its
future
interest
cost
of
leverage,
which
is
through
the
use
of
bank
borrowings.
Interest
rate
swap
contracts
involve
the
Fund’s
agreement
with
the
counterparty
to
pay
or
receive
a
fixed
rate
payment
in
exchange
for
the
counterparty
receiving
or
paying
a
variable
rate
payment.
Forward
interest
rate
swap
contracts
involve
the
Fund’s
agreement
with
a
counterparty
to
pay,
in
the
future,
a
fixed
or
variable
rate
payment
in
exchange
for
the
counterparty
paying
the
Fund
a
variable
or
fixed
rate
payment,
the
accruals
for
which
would
begin
at
a
specified
date
in
the
future
(the
“effective
date”).
Upon
entering
into
an
interest
rate
swap
contract
(and
beginning
on
the
effective
date
for
a
forward
interest
rate
swap
contract),
the
Fund
accrues
the
fixed
rate
payment
expected
to
be
paid
or
received
and
the
variable
rate
payment
expected
to
be
received
or
paid
on
the
interest
rate
swap
contracts
on
a
daily
basis,
and
recognizes
the
daily
change
in
the
fair
value
of
the
Fund’s
contractual
rights
and
obligations
under
the
contracts.
The
amount
of
the
payment
obligation
for
an
interest
rate
swap
is
based
on
the
notional
amount
and
the
termination
date
of
the
contract.
Interest
rate
swap
contracts
do
not
involve
the
delivery
of
securities
or
other
underlying
assets
or
principal.
Accordingly,
the
risk
of
loss
on
such
transactions
is
limited
to
the
net
amount
of
interest
payments
that
the
Fund
is
to
receive
from
the
counterparty.
Payments
paid
(received)
at
the
beginning
of
the
measurement
period
are
reflected
as
swap
premiums
paid
(received)
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities,
when
applicable.
Interest
rate
swaps
can
be
settled
either
directly
with
the
counterparty
(“OTC”)
or
through
a
central
clearinghouse
(“centrally
cleared”).
For
OTC
swaps,
the
daily
change
in
the
market
value
of
the
swap
contract,
along
with
any
daily
interest
fees
accrued,
are
recognized
as
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
on
interest
rate
swaps
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Upon
the
execution
of
a
centrally
cleared
swap,
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.
Securities
deposited
for
initial
margin,
if
any,
are
identified
in
the
Portfolio
of
Investments and
cash
deposited
for
initial
margin,
if
any,
is
reflected
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
The
Fund
and
the
clearing
broker
are
obligated
to
settle
monies
on
a
daily
basis
representing
the
changes
in
the
value
of
the
swap
contracts.
These
daily
cash
settlements
are
known
as
“variation
margin”
and
is
recognized
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
a
receivable
or
payable
for
variation
margin
on
interest
rate
swaps.
Changes
in
the
value
of
the
swap
contracts
during
the
fiscal
period
are
recognized
as
net
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
of
swaps
on
the
Statement
of
Operations.
The
net
amount
of
periodic
payments
settled
in
cash
are
recognized
as
net
realized
gain
(loss)
from
swaps
on
the
Statement
of
Operations,
in
addition
to
the
net
realized
gain
or
loss
recorded
upon
the
termination
of
the
swap
contract.
The

As
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
the
Funds
have
invested
in
derivative
contracts
which
are
reflected
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
as
follows:
During
the
current
fiscal
period,
the
effect
of
derivative
contracts
on
the
Funds’
Statements
of
Operations
was
as
follows:
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.

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.
As
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
the
aggregate
cost
and
the
net
unrealized
appreciation/(depreciation)
of
all
investments
for
federal
income
tax
purposes
were
as
follows:
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

earnings
on
a

basis
were
as

Management
Fees:
Each
Fund’s
management
fee
compensates
the

Security
Capital
and
NAM
are

for
their

to
the
Funds
from
the
management
fees
paid

The

is
calculated
according
to
the
following
schedule:
The
annual
complex-level
fee,
payable
monthly,
for
each
Fund
is
calculated
by
multiplying
the
current
complex-wide
fee
rate,
determined
according
to
the
following
schedule
by
the
Fund’s
daily
managed
assets:
*
For
the
complex-level
fees,
managed
assets
include
closed-end
fund
assets
managed
by
the
Adviser
that
are
attributable
to
certain
types
of
leverage.
For
these
purposes,
leverage
includes
the
funds’
use
of
preferred
stock
and
borrowings
and
certain
investments
in
the
residual
interest
certificates
(also
called
inverse
floating

securities)

(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
managed
assets
in
certain
circumstances.
The
complex-level
fee
is
calculated
based
upon
the
aggregate
daily
managed
assets
of
all
Nuveen
open-end
and
closed-end
funds
that
constitute
‘’eligible
assets.”
Eligible
assets
do
not

affiliate
of
the

Inter-Fund
Borrowing
and
Lending
Inter-Fund
Borrowing
and
Lending:
The
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(the
"SEC")
has
granted
an
exemptive
order
permitting
registered
open-end
and
closed-end
Nuveen
funds
to
participate
in
an
inter-fund
lending
facility
whereby
the
Nuveen
funds
may
directly
lend
to
and
borrow
money
from
each
other
for
temporary
purposes
(e.g.,
to
satisfy
redemption
requests
or
when
a
sale
of
securities
“fails,”
resulting
in
an
unanticipated
cash
shortfall)
(the
“Inter-Fund
Program”).
The
closed-end
Nuveen
funds,
including
the
Funds
covered
by
this
shareholder
report,
will
participate
only
as
lenders,
and
not
as
borrowers,
in
the
Inter-Fund
Program
because
such
closed-end
funds
rarely,
if
ever,
need
to
borrow
cash
to
meet
redemptions.
The
Inter-Fund
Program
is
subject
to
a
number
of
conditions,
including,
among
other
things,
the
requirements
that
(1)
no
fund
may
borrow
or
lend
money
through
the
Inter-Fund
Program
unless
it
receives
a
more
favorable
interest
rate
than
is
typically
available
from
a
bank
or
other
financial
institution
for
a
comparable
transaction;
(2)
no
fund
may
borrow
on
an
unsecured
basis
through
the
Inter-Fund
Program
unless
the
fund’s
outstanding
borrowings
from
all
sources
immediately
after
the
inter-fund
borrowing
total
10%
or
less
of
its
total
assets;
provided
that
if
the
borrowing
fund
has
a
secured
borrowing
outstanding
from
any
other
lender,
including
but
not
limited
to
another
fund,
the
inter-fund
loan
must
be
secured
on
at
least
an
equal
priority
basis
with
at
least
an
equivalent
percentage
of
collateral
to
loan
value;
(3)
if
a
fund’s
total
outstanding
borrowings
immediately
after
an
inter-fund
borrowing
would
be
greater
than
10%
of
its
total
assets,
the
fund
may
borrow
through
the
inter-fund
loan
on
a
secured
basis
only;
(4)
no
fund
may
lend
money
if
the
loan
would
cause
its
aggregate
outstanding
loans
through
the
Inter-Fund
Program
to
exceed
15%
of
its
net
assets
at
the
time
of
the
loan;
(5)
a
fund’s
inter-fund
loans
to
any
one
fund
shall
not
exceed
5%
of
the
lending
fund’s
net
assets;
(6)
the
duration
of
inter-
fund
loans
will
be
limited
to
the
time
required
to
receive
payment
for
securities
sold,
but
in
no
event
more
than
seven
days;
and
(7)
each
inter-fund
loan
may
be
called
on
one
business
day’s
notice
by
a
lending
fund
and
may
be
repaid
on
any
day
by
a
borrowing
fund.
In
addition,
a
Nuveen
fund
may
participate
in
the
Inter-Fund
Program
only
if
and
to
the
extent
that
such
participation
is
consistent
with
the
fund’s
investment
objective
and
investment
policies.
The
Board
is
responsible
for
overseeing
the
Inter-Fund
Program.

The
limitations
detailed
above
and
the
other
conditions
of
the
SEC
exemptive
order
permitting
the
Inter-Fund
Program
are
designed
to
minimize
the
risks
associated
with
Inter-Fund
Program
for
both
the
lending
fund
and
the
borrowing
fund.
However,
no
borrowing
or
lending
activity
is
without
risk.
When
a
fund
borrows
money
from
another
fund,
there
is
a
risk
that
the
loan
could
be
called
on
one
day’s
notice
or
not
renewed,
in
which
case
the
fund may
have
to
borrow
from
a
bank
at
a
higher
rate
or
take
other
actions
to
payoff
such
loan
if
an
inter-fund
loan
is
not
available
from
another
fund.
Any
delay
in
repayment
to
a
lending
fund
could
result
in
a
lost
investment
opportunity
or
additional
borrowing
costs.
During
the
current
reporting
period,
none
of
the
Funds
covered
by
this
shareholder
report
have
entered
into
any
inter-fund
loan
activity.

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.
Effective
Leverage:
Effective
leverage
is
a
fund’s
effective
economic
leverage,
and
includes
both
regulatory
leverage
(see
below)
and
the
leverage
effects
of
certain
derivative
investments
in
the
fund’s
portfolio.
Leverage:
Leverage
is
created
whenever
a
fund
has
investment
exposure
(both
reward
and/or
risk)
equivalent
to
more
than
100%
of
the
investment
capital.
Net
Asset
Value
(NAV)
Per
Share:
A
fund’s
Net
Assets
is
equal
to
its
total
assets
(securities,
cash,
accrued
earnings
and
receivables)
less
its
total
liabilities.
NAV
per
share
is
equal
to
the
fund’s
Net
Assets
divided
by
its
number
of
shares
outstanding.
Regulatory
Leverage:
Regulatory
leverage
consists
of
preferred
shares
issued
by
or
borrowings
of
a
fund.
Both
of
these
are
part
of
a
fund’s
capital
structure.
Regulatory
leverage
is
subject
to
asset
coverage
limits
set
forth
in
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940.

Approval
Process
(Unaudited)

At
a
meeting
held
on
May
23-25,
2023
(the
“May
Meeting”),
the
Boards
of
Trustees
(collectively,
the
“Board”
and
each
Trustee,
a
“Board
Member”)
of
the
Funds,
which
are
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
their
respective
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
the
investment
adviser
to
such
Fund,
and
the
sub-advisory
agreement
(each,
a
“Sub-Advisory
Agreement”)
with
(a)
in
the
case
of
Nuveen
Real
Estate
Income
Fund
(the
“Real
Estate
Income
Fund”),
Security
Capital
Research
&
Management
Incorporated
(“Security
Capital”),
pursuant
to
which
Security
Capital
serves
as
the
investment
sub-adviser
to
such
Fund;
and
(b)
in
the
case
of
Nuveen
Real
Asset
Income
and
Growth
Fund
(the
“Real
Asset
Income
and
Growth
Fund”),
Nuveen
Asset
Management,
LLC
(“NAM,”
and
NAM
and
Security
Capital
are
each,
a
“Sub-Adviser”),
pursuant
to
which
NAM
serves
as
the
investment
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-Advisers
are
collectively,
the
“Fund
Advisers”
and
each,
a
“Fund
Adviser.”
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
the
applicable
sub-advisers
in
their
annual
review
of
the
advisory
agreements.
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;
securities
lending;
liquidity
management;
overall
market
and
regulatory
developments;
and
with
respect
to
closed-end
funds,
capital
management
initiatives,
institutional
ownership,
management
of
leverage
financing
and
the
secondary
market
trading
of
the
closed-end
funds
and
any
actions
to
address
discounts.
The
Board
also
seeks
to
meet
periodically
with
the
Nuveen
funds’
sub-advisers
and/or
portfolio
teams,
when
feasible.
The
presentations,
discussions,
and
meetings
throughout
the
year
also
provide
a
means
for
the
Board
to
evaluate
the
level,
breadth
and
quality
of
services
provided
by
the
Adviser
and
how
such
services
have
changed
over
time
in
light
of
new
or
modified
regulatory
requirements,
changes
to
market
conditions
or
other
factors.
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
advanced
in
2022
for
the
benefit
of
particular
Nuveen
funds
and/or
the
Nuveen
fund
complex;
a
review
of
each
sub-adviser
to
the
Nuveen
funds
and/or
the
applicable
investment
team;
an
analysis
of
fund
performance
with
a
focus
on
any
Nuveen
funds
considered
performance
outliers;
an
analysis
of
the
fees
and
expense
ratios
of
the
Nuveen
funds
with
a
focus
on
any
Nuveen
funds
considered
expense
outliers;
a
review
of
management
fee
schedules;
a
description
of
portfolio
manager
compensation;
an
overview
of
the
secondary
market
trading
of
shares
of
the
Nuveen
closed-end
funds
(including,
among
other
things,
an
analysis
of
secondary
market
performance
and
commentary
regarding
the
leverage
management,
share
repurchase
and
shelf
offering
programs
of
Nuveen
closed-end
funds);
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.
The
performance,
fee
and
expense
data
and
other
information
provided
by
a
Fund
Adviser,
Broadridge
or
other
service
providers
were
not
independently
verified
by
the
Independent
Board
Members.
As
part
of
its
review,
the
Board
met
on
April
11-12,
2023
(the
“April
Meeting”)
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
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-Advisers
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.
The
contractual
arrangements
are
a
result
of
multiple
years
of
review,
negotiation
and
information
provided
in
connection
with
the
Board’s
annual
review
of
the
Nuveen
funds’
advisory
arrangements
and
oversight
of
the
Nuveen
funds.
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.

of

In

the

Members
received
and
considered
information
regarding
the

extent
and
quality
of
the
applicable
Fund
Adviser’s
services
provided
to
the
respective
Fund
with
particular
focus
on
the
services
and
enhancements
or
changes
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-Advisers
in
providing
services
to
the
applicable
Fund(s).
The
Board
recognized
that
the
Adviser
provides
a
wide
array
of
management,
oversight
and
administrative
services
to
manage
and
operate
the
Nuveen
funds
and
that
the
scope
and
complexity
of
these
services,
along
with
the
undertakings
required
of
the
Adviser
in
connection
with
providing
these
services,
have
expanded
over
time
as
a
result
of,
among
other
things,
regulatory,
market
and
other
developments.
The
Board
noted
the
Adviser’s
dedication
of
resources,
time,
personnel
and
capital
and
commitment
to
continuing
to
develop
improvements
and
innovations
that
seek
to
enhance
the
Nuveen
fund
complex
and
meet
the
needs
of
the
Nuveen
funds
in
an
increasingly
complex
regulatory
environment.
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
breadth
and
the
quality
of
the
services
the
Adviser
and
its
various
teams
provide
in
overseeing
the
investment
management
of
the
Nuveen
funds,
including,
among
other
things,
overseeing
and
reviewing
the
services
provided
by
the
various
sub-advisers
to
the
Nuveen
funds
and
their
investment
teams;
evaluating
fund
performance
and
market
conditions;
overseeing
operational
and
investment
risks;
evaluating
investment
strategies
and
recommending
any
changes
thereto;
managing
liquidity;
managing
the
daily
valuation
of
portfolio
securities;
overseeing
trade
execution
and
securities
lending;
and
setting
and
managing
distributions
consistent
with
the
respective
fund’s
product
design.
With
respect
to
closed-end
funds,
such
services
also
include
managing
leverage;
monitoring
asset
coverage
levels
for
leveraged
funds
and
compliance
with
rating
agency
criteria;
providing
capital
management
and
secondary
market
services
(such
as
implementing
common
share
shelf
offerings,
capital
return
programs
and
common
share
repurchases);
and
maintaining
a
closed-end
fund
investor
relations
program.
The
Board
also
reviewed
the
structure
of
investment
personnel
compensation
of
each
Fund
Adviser
and
considered
whether
the
structure
provides
appropriate
incentives
to
attract
and
maintain
qualified
personnel
and
to
act
in
the
best
interests
of
the
respective
Nuveen
fund.
Given
the
Nuveen
funds
operate
in
a
highly
regulated
industry,
the
Board
further
considered
the
extensive
compliance,
regulatory
and
administrative
services
the
Adviser
and
its
various
teams
provide
to
manage
and
operate
the
Nuveen
funds.
The
Board
recognized
such
services
included,
but
were
not
limited
to,
managing
compliance
policies;
monitoring
compliance
with
applicable
policies,
laws
and
regulations;
devising
internal
compliance
programs
in
seeking
to
enhance
compliance
with
regulatory
requirements
and
creating
a
framework
to
review
and
assess
compliance
programs;
overseeing
sub-adviser
compliance
testing;
preparing
compliance
training
materials;
and
responding
to
regulatory
requests.
The
Board
reviewed
highlights
of
the
various
initiatives
Nuveen
compliance
had
taken
in
2022
including,
among
other
things,
additional
due
diligence
of
service
providers
as
their
operating
environments
evolve
post-Covid
to
more
hybrid
in-person
working
arrangements;
investments
in
supporting
and
expanding
international
trading
capabilities;
continuing
efforts
to
enhance
policies
and
controls
to
address
compliance
risks
including
those
related
to
environmental,
social
and
governance
(“ESG”)
matters
and
new
regulatory
developments
or
guidance;
and
establishing
and
maintaining
compliance
policies
and
comprehensive
compliance
training
programs.
The
Board
also
considered
information
regarding
the
Adviser’s
business
continuity,
disaster
recovery
and
information
security
programs
and
the
periodic
testing
and
review
of
such
programs.
In
addition
to
the
above
functions,
the
Board
considered
the
quality
and
extent
of
other
non-advisory
services
the
Adviser
provides
including,
among
other
things,
various
fund
administration
services
(such
as
preparing,
overseeing
or
assisting
with
the
preparation
of
tax
and
regulatory
filings);
product
management
services
(such
as
evaluating
and
enhancing
products
and
strategies);
legal
support
services;
shareholder
services
and
transfer
agency
function
oversight
services;
and
board
support
and
reporting
services.
With
respect
to
board
support
services,
the
Board
reviewed
a
summary
of
the
annual,
quarterly,
and
special
reports
the
Adviser
and/or
its
affiliates
provided
to
the
Board
throughout
2022.
The
Board
further
acknowledged
various
initiatives
the
Adviser
had
undertaken
or
continued
in
2022
in
seeking
to
improve
the
effectiveness
of
its
organization,
the
Nuveen
funds
product
line-up
as
well
as
particular
Nuveen
fund(s)
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;
reopening
certain
funds
previously
closed
to
new
investors;
adding
or
modifying
the
share
classes
offered
by
certain
funds;
implementing
fee
waivers
and
expense
cap
changes
for
certain
funds
and
evaluating
and
adjusting
portfolio
management
teams
as
appropriate
for
various
funds;
and
developing
policy
positions
on
a
broad
range
of
regulatory
proposals
that
may
impact
the
funds
and
communicating
with
lawmakers
and
other
regulatory
authorities
to
help
ensure
these
positions
are
represented.
Aside
from
the
services
provided,
the
Board
recognized
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.
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.
The
Board
further
considered
the
division
of
responsibilities
between
the
Adviser
and
the
Sub-Advisers
and
recognized
that
each
Sub-Adviser
and
its
investment
personnel
generally
are
responsible
for
the
management
of
the
applicable
Fund’s
portfolio
under
the
oversight
of
the
Adviser
and
the
Board.
The
Board
considered
an
analysis
of
each
Sub-Adviser
provided
by
the
Adviser
which
included,
among
other
things,
the
assets
under
management
of
the
Sub-Adviser
or
applicable
investment
team
and
changes
thereto,
a
summary
of
the
applicable
investment
team
and
changes
59
to
such
team,
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
each
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
considered
a
variety
of
investment
performance
data
of
the
Nuveen
funds
prepared
specifically
for
the
annual
review
of
the
advisory
agreements
as
well
as
the
performance
data
the
Board
received
throughout
the
year
representing
different
time
periods.
In
this
regard,
leading
into
the
May
Meeting,
the
Board
reviewed,
among
other
things,
Fund
performance
over
the
quarter,
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
ending
December 31,
2022
and
March
31,
2023.
In
addition,
the
Board
reviewed
and
discussed
performance
data
at
its
regularly
scheduled
quarterly
meetings
during
the
year.
The
Board
therefore
took
into
account
the
performance
data,
presentations
and
discussions
(written
and
oral)
that
have
been
provided
for
the
annual
review
as
well
as
in
prior
meetings
over
time
in
evaluating
fund
performance,
including
the
Adviser’s
analysis
of
a
fund’s
performance
with
particular
focus
on
performance
outliers
(both
overperformance
and
underperformance),
the
factors
contributing
to
performance
(including
relative
to
a
fund’s
benchmark
and
peers
and
the
impact
of
market
conditions)
and
any
recommendations
or
steps
that
had
been
taken
or
were
proposed
to
be
taken
to
address
significant
performance
concerns.
In
this
regard,
the
Board
noted,
among
other
things,
that
certain
Nuveen
funds
had
changes
in
portfolio
managers
or
other
significant
changes
to
their
investment
strategies
or
policies
since
March
2020,
and,
as
a
result,
the
Board
reviewed
certain
tracking
performance
data
comparing
the
performance
of
such
funds
before
and
after
such
changes.
The
Board
recognized
that
performance
data
reflects
performance
over
a
specified
period
which
may
differ
significantly
depending
on
the
ending
dates
selected,
particularly
during
periods
of
market
volatility.
Further,
the
Board
noted
that
shareholders
may
evaluate
performance
based
on
their
own
respective
holding
periods
which
may
differ
from
the
performance
periods
reviewed
by
the
Board
and
lead
to
differing
results.
In
its
evaluation,
the
Board
reviewed
Nuveen
fund
performance
results
from
different
perspectives.
In
general,
subject
to
certain
exceptions,
the
Board
reviewed
both
absolute
and
relative
fund
performance
during
the
annual
review
over
the
various
time
periods
and
evaluated
performance
results
in
light
of
a
fund’s
investment
objective(s),
strategies
and
risks.
With
respect
to
the
relative
performance,
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).
In
reviewing
such
comparative
performance,
the
Board
was
cognizant
of
the
inherent
limitations
of
such
data
which
can
make
meaningful
performance
comparisons
generally
difficult.
As
an
illustration,
differences
in
the
composition
of
the
Performance
Peer
Group,
the
investment
objective(s),
strategies
and
other
characteristics
of
the
peers
in
the
Performance
Peer
Group,
the
level,
type
and
cost
of
leverage
(if
any)
of
the
peers,
and
the
varying
sizes
of
peers
all
may
contribute
to
differences
in
the
performance
results
of
a
Performance
Peer
Group
compared
to
the
applicable
Nuveen
fund.
With
respect
to
relative
performance
of
a
Nuveen
fund
compared
to
a
benchmark
index,
differences,
among
other
things,
in
the
investment
objective(s)
and
strategies
of
a
fund
and
the
benchmark
(particularly
an
actively
managed
fund
that
does
not
directly
follow
an
index)
as
well
as
the
costs
of
operating
a
fund
would
necessarily
contribute
to
differences
in
performance
results
and
limit
the
value
of
the
comparative
performance
information.
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
secondary
market
trading
of
shares
of
the
Nuveen
closed-end
funds
also
continues
to
be
a
priority
for
the
Board
given
its
importance
to
shareholders,
and
therefore
the
Board
and/or
its
Closed-end
Fund
committee
reviews
certain
performance
data
reflecting,
among
other
things,
the
premiums
and
discounts
at
which
the
shares
of
the
Nuveen
closed-end
funds
have
traded
over
specified
periods
throughout
the
year.
In
its
review,
the
Board
considers,
among
other
things,
changes
to
investment
mandates
and
guidelines,
distribution
policies,
leverage
levels
and
types;
share
repurchases
and
similar
capital
market
actions;
and
effective
communications
programs
to
build
greater
awareness
and
deepen
understanding
of
closed-end
funds.
As
applicable,
the
Board
considered
the
impact
of
leverage
on
a
Nuveen
fund’s
performance.
The
Board
further
acknowledged
that
performance
results
should
include
the
distribution
yields
of
funds
that
seek
to
provide
income
as
part
of
their
investment
objective(s)
to
shareholders.
In
this
regard,
the
Board
considered
that
the
use
of
leverage
by
various
funds
may
have
detracted
from
total
return
performance
of
such
funds
over
various
periods
in
current
market
conditions,
but
the
leverage
also
was
accretive
in
helping
to
provide
income.
The
Board
also
evaluated
Nuveen
fund
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.
The
Board
acknowledged
that
long-term
performance
could
be
impacted
by
even
one
period
of
significant
outperformance
or
underperformance
and
that
a
single
investment
theme
could
disproportionately
affect
performance.
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.
Although
the
Board
reviews
short-,
intermediate-
and
longer-term
performance
data,
the
Board
recognized
that
longer
periods
of
performance
may
reflect
full
market
cycles.
In
relation
to
recent
general
market
conditions,
the
Board
had
recognized
the
general
market
volatility
and
underperformance
of
the
market
in
2022
in
considering
Nuveen
fund
performance.
The
Board
took
into
account
the
Adviser’s
assessment
of
a
fund’s
performance
during
the
recent
period
of
significant
market
volatility.
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.
In
evaluating
performance,
the
Board
focused
particular
attention
on
funds
with
less
favorable
performance
records.
However,
depending
on
the
facts
and
circumstances
including
any
differences
between
the
respective
fund
and
its
benchmark
and/or
Performance
Peer
Group,
the
Board
may
be
satisfied
with
a
fund’s
performance
notwithstanding
60
Annual
Investment
Management
Agreement
Approval
Process
(Unaudited)
(continued)
that
its
performance
may
be
below
that
of
its
benchmark
and/or
peer
group
for
certain
periods.
With
respect
to
any
funds
for
which
the
Board
has
identified
performance
issues,
the
Board
seeks
to
monitor
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.
The
Board’s
determinations
with
respect
to
each
Fund
are
summarized
below.
For
the
Real
Estate
Income
Fund,
the
Board
noted
that
the
Fund’s
performance
was
below
the
performance
of
its
blended
benchmark
and
the
Fund
ranked
in
the
fourth
quartile
of
its
Performance
Peer
Group
for
the
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
ended
December
31,
2022.
In
addition,
although
the
Fund’s
performance
was
below
the
performance
of
its
blended
benchmark
and
the
Fund
ranked
in
the
fourth
quartile
of
its
Performance
Peer
Group
for
the
one-
and
five-year
periods
ended
March
31,
2023,
the
Fund
outperformed
its
blended
benchmark
and
ranked
in
the
second
quartile
of
its
Performance
Peer
Group
for
the
three-year
period
ended
March
31,
2023.
In
considering
performance,
the
Board
recognized
that
the
Performance
Peer
Group
was
classified
as
low
for
relevancy.
The
Board
further
noted
that
the
Fund’s
use
of
leverage
detracted
from
the
Fund’s
performance
in
2022
but
was
accretive
to
overall
common
share
income.
On
the
basis
of
the
Board’s
ongoing
review
of
investment
performance
and
all
relevant
factors,
including
the
relative
market
conditions
during
certain
reporting
periods,
the
Fund’s
investment
objective(s)
and
management’s
discussion
of
performance,
the
Board
concluded
that
in
light
of
these
factors,
the
Fund’s
performance
supported
renewal
of
the
Advisory
Agreements.
For
the
Real

the
Board
noted
that
although
the
Fund’s
performance
was
below
the
performance
of
its
blended
benchmark
for
the
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
ended
December 31,
2022
and
the
Fund
ranked
in
the
fourth
quartile
of
its
Performance
Peer
Group
for
the
three-
and
five-year
periods
ended
December
31,
2022,
the
Fund
ranked
in
the
third
quartile
of
its
Performance
Peer
Group
for
the
one-year
period
ended
December
31,
2022.
In
addition,
although
the
Fund’s
performance
was
below
the
performance
of
its
blended
benchmark
for
the
one-
and
five-year
periods
ended
March
31,
2023
and
the
Fund
ranked
in
the
fourth
quartile
of
its
Performance
Peer
Group
for
the
five-
year
period
ended
March
31,
2023,
the
Fund
outperformed
its
blended
benchmark
for
the
three-year
period
ended
March
31,
2023
and
ranked
in
the
third
quartile
of
its
Performance
Peer
Group
for
the
one-
and
three-year
periods
ended
March
31,
2023.
In
considering
performance,
the
Board
recognized
that
the
Performance
Peer
Group
was
classified
as
low
for
relevancy.
On
the
basis
of
the
Board’s
ongoing
review
of
investment
performance
and
all
relevant
factors,
including
the
relative
market
conditions
during
certain
reporting
periods,
the
Fund’s
investment
objective(s)
and
management’s
discussion
of
performance,
the
Board
concluded
that
in
light
of
these
factors,
the
Fund’s
performance
supported
renewal
of
the
Advisory
Agreements.
C.
Fees,
Expenses
and
Profitability
1.
Fees
and
Expenses
As
part
of
its
annual
review,
the
Board
generally
reviewed,
among
other
things,
with
respect
to
the
Nuveen
closed-end
funds,
the
contractual
management
fee
and
actual
management
fee
(i.e.,
the
management
fee
after
taking
into
consideration
fee
waivers
and/or
expense
reimbursements,
if
any)
paid
by
a
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
(after
any
fee
waivers
and/or
expense
reimbursements).
More
specifically,
the
Independent
Board
Members
reviewed,
among
other
things,
each
Nuveen
closed-end
fund’s
actual
management
fee
rate
(after
fee
waivers
and/or
expense
reimbursements,
if
any)
and
net
total
expense
ratio
in
relation
to
those
of
a
comparable
universe
of
funds
(the
“Peer
Universe”)
established
by
Broadridge.
The
Independent
Board
Members
reviewed
the
methodology
Broadridge
employed
to
establish
its
Peer
Universe
and
recognized
that
differences
between
the
applicable
fund
and
its
respective
Peer
Universe
as
well
as
changes
to
the
composition
of
the
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
Nuveen
fund
with
a
net
total
expense
ratio
(excluding
investment-related
costs
of
leverage
for
closed-end
funds)
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
total
expense
ratio.
In
addition,
although
the
Board
reviewed
a
fund’s
total
net
expenses
both
including
and
excluding
investment-related
expenses
(i.e.,
leverage
costs)
for
certain
of
the
closed-end
funds,
the
Board
recognized
that
leverage
expenses
will
vary
across
funds
and
in
comparison
to
peers
because
of
differences
in
the
forms
and
terms
of
leverage
employed
by
the
respective
fund.
Accordingly,
in
reviewing
the
comparative
data
between
a
fund
and
its
peers,
the
Board
generally
considered
the
fund’s
net
total
expense
ratio
and
fees
(excluding
leverage
costs
and
leveraged
assets
for
the
closed-end
funds)
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
Universe.
61
The
Independent
Board
Members
also
considered,
in
relevant
part,
a
Nuveen
fund’s
management
fee
and
net
total
expense
ratio
in
light
of
its
performance
history,
including
reviewing
certain
funds
identified
by
the
Adviser
and/or
the
Board
as
having
a
higher
net
total
expense
ratio
or
management
fee
compared
to
their
respective
peers
coupled
with
experiencing
periods
of
challenged
performance
and
considering
the
reasons
for
such
comparative
positions.
In
addition,
with
respect
to
closed-end
funds
that
utilize
leverage,
the
Independent
Board
Members
recognized
that
certain
assets
attributable
to
a
fund’s
use
of
leverage
may
be
included
in
the
amount
of
assets
upon
which
the
advisory
fee
or
sub-advisory
fee
is
calculated.
The
Independent
Board
Members
acknowledged
the
fact
that
a
decision
to
employ
leverage
or
increase
a
fund’s
leverage
which
has
the
effect,
all
other
things
being
equal,
of
increasing
the
assets
upon
which
an
advisory
or
sub-
advisory
fee
is
based
(and,
in
turn,
increasing
the
Adviser’s
and
applicable
sub-adviser’s
management
fees),
means
that
the
Adviser
and
applicable
sub-adviser
may
have
a
conflict
of
interest
in
determining
whether
to
use
or
increase
leverage.
The
Independent
Board
Members
recognized,
however,
that
the
Adviser
and
sub-advisers
would
seek
to
manage
the
potential
conflict
by
recommending
to
the
Board
to
leverage
the
applicable
fund
or
increase
such
leverage
when
the
Adviser
and/or
sub-adviser,
as
applicable,
has
determined
that
such
action
would
be
in
the
best
interests
of
the
respective
fund
and
its
common
shareholders
and
by
periodically
reviewing
with
the
Board
the
fund’s
performance
and
the
impact
of
the
use
of
leverage
on
that
performance.
In
their
review
of
the
fee
arrangements
for
the
Nuveen
funds,
the
Independent
Board
Members
also
considered
the
management
fee
schedules,
including
the
complex-wide
and
fund-level
breakpoint
schedules,
as
applicable.
The
Board
noted
that
across
the
Nuveen
fund
complex,
the
complex-wide
fee
breakpoints
reduced
fees
by
approximately
$62.4 million
and
fund-level
breakpoints
reduced
fees
by
approximately
$76.1 million
in
2022.
With
respect
to
each
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
each
Sub-Adviser
is
the
responsibility
of
the
Adviser,
not
the
applicable
Fund.
The
Independent
Board
Members
noted
that
(a)
the
Real
Estate
Income
Fund
had
an
actual
management
fee
and
a
net
total
expense
ratio
that
were
below
the
respective
peer
averages;
and
(b)
the
Real
Asset
Income
and
Growth
Fund
had
an
actual
management
fee
that
was
slightly
higher
than
the
peer
average,
but
a
net
total
expense
ratio
that
was
in
line
with
the
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.
2.
Comparisons
with
the
Fees
of
Other
Clients
In
evaluating
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
NAM
(an
affiliated
sub-adviser),
such
other
clients
may
include:
retail
and
institutional
managed
accounts
sub-advised
by
such
Sub-Adviser;
hedge
funds
or
other
structured
products
managed
by
such
Sub-Adviser;
investment
companies
offered
outside
the
Nuveen
family
and
sub-advised
by
such
Sub-Adviser;
foreign
investment
companies
offered
by
Nuveen
and
sub-advised
by
such
Sub-Adviser;
and
collective
investment
trusts
sub-advised
by
such
Sub-Adviser.
The
Board
further
noted
that
the
Adviser
also
advised,
and
NAM
sub-advised,
certain
exchange-traded
funds
(“ETFs”)
sponsored
by
Nuveen.
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
sub-advised
by
NAM,
the
hedge
funds
advised
by
NAM
(along
with
their
performance
fee)
and
non-Nuveen
investment
companies
sub-advised
by
certain
affiliated
sub-advisers.
In
considering
the
comparative
fee
data,
the
Board
recognized
that
differences,
including
but
not
limited
to,
the
amount,
type
and
level
of
services
provided
by
the
Adviser
to
the
Nuveen
funds
compared
to
that
provided
to
other
clients
as
well
as
differences
in
investment
policies;
eligible
portfolio
assets
and
the
manner
of
managing
such
assets;
product
structure;
investor
profiles;
account
sizes;
and
regulatory
requirements
contribute
to
the
variations
in
the
fee
schedules.
Similarly,
differences
in
the
client
base,
governing
bodies,
distribution
jurisdiction
and
operational
complexities
would
also
contribute
to
variations
in
management
fees
assessed
the
Nuveen
funds
compared
to
foreign
fund
clients.
Further,
with
respect
to
ETFs,
the
Board
considered
that
the
Nuveen
ETFs
that
are
designed
to
track
the
performance
of
a
specified
index
(“Index
ETFs”)
were
passively
managed
compared
to
the
active
management
of
other
Nuveen
funds,
which
also
contributed
to
the
differences
in
fee
levels
between
such
Index
ETFs
and
the
actively
managed
funds.
The
Board
acknowledged
the
wide
range
of
services
in
addition
to
investment
management
that
the
Adviser
had
provided
to
the
Nuveen
funds
compared
to
other
types
of
clients
as
well
as
the
increased
entrepreneurial,
legal
and
regulatory
risks
that
the
Adviser
incurs
in
sponsoring
and
managing
the
Nuveen
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
NAM’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
more
extensive
services,
regulatory
requirements
and
legal
liabilities,
and
the
entrepreneurial,
legal
and
regulatory
risks
incurred
in
sponsoring
and
advising
a
registered
investment
company
compared
to
that
required
in
advising
other
types
of
clients.
The
Board
recognized
that
Security
Capital
was
an
unaffiliated
sub-adviser.
With
respect
to
Security
Capital,
the
Independent
Board
Members
reviewed
the
average
fee
rates
that
such
Sub-Adviser
charges
for
other
clients.
The
Independent
Board
Members
noted
that
the
Sub-Advisory
Agreement
with
Security
Capital,
including
the
fees
thereunder,
was
the
result
of
arm’s
length
negotiations
and
that
such
Sub-
Adviser’s
fees
were
reasonable
in
relation
to
the
fees
it
assessed
other
clients.

Profitability
of
Fund
Advisers
In
their
review,
the
Independent
Board
Members
considered
estimated
profitability
information
of
Nuveen
as
a
result
of
its
advisory
services
to
the
Nuveen
funds
as
well
as
profitability
data
of
other
publicly
traded
asset
management
firms.
Such
profitability
information
included,
among
other
things,
gross
and
net
revenue
margins
(excluding
distribution)
of
Nuveen
Investments,
Inc.
(“Nuveen
Investments”)
for
services
to
the
Nuveen
funds
on
a
pre-tax
and
after-tax
basis
for
the
2022
and
2021
calendar
years
as
well
as
the
revenues
earned
(less
any
expense
reimbursements/fee
waivers)
and
expenses
incurred
by
Nuveen
Investments
for
its
advisory
activities
to
the
Nuveen
funds
(excluding
distribution
and
certain
other
expenses)
for
the
2022
and
2021
calendar
years.
The
Independent
Board
Members
also
considered
a
summary
of
some
of
the
key
factors
that
impacted
Nuveen’s
profitability
in
2022.
In
addition,
the
Board
reviewed
the
revenues,
expenses
and
operating
margin
(pre-
and
after-tax)
the
Adviser
derived
from
its
ETF
product
line
for
the
2022
and
2021
calendar
years.
In
developing
the
profitability
data
of
the
Adviser
for
its
advisory
services
to
the
Nuveen
funds,
the
Independent
Board
Members
recognized
the
subjective
nature
of
calculating
profitability
as
the
information
is
not
audited
and
is
necessarily
dependent
on
cost
allocation
methodologies
to
allocate
expenses
throughout
the
complex
and
among
the
various
advisory
products.
Given
there
is
no
perfect
expense
allocation
methodology
and
that
other
reasonable
and
valid
allocation
methodologies
could
be
employed
and
could
lead
to
significantly
different
results,
the
Board
reviewed,
among
other
things,
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
through
2022,
and
a
historical
expense
analysis
of
Nuveen
Investments’
revenues,
expenses
and
pre-tax
net
revenue
margins
derived
from
its
advisory
services
to
the
Nuveen
funds
(excluding
distribution)
for
the
calendar
years
from
2017
through
2022.
The
Board
had
also
appointed
four
Independent
Board
Members
to
serve
as
the
Board’s
liaisons,
with
the
assistance
of
independent
counsel,
to
meet
with
representatives
of
the
Adviser
and
review
the
development
of
the
profitability
data
and
to
report
to
the
full
Board.
In
addition,
the
Board
considered
certain
comparative
operating
margin
data.
In
this
regard,
the
Board
reviewed
the
operating
margins
of
Nuveen
Investments
compared
to
the
adjusted
operating
margins
of
a
peer
group
of
asset
management
firms
with
publicly
available
data
and
the
most
comparable
assets
under
management
(based
on
asset
size
and
asset
composition)
to
Nuveen.
The
Board
recognized
that
the
operating
margins
of
the
peers
were
adjusted
generally
to
address
that
certain
services
provided
by
the
peers
were
not
provided
by
Nuveen.
The
Board
also
reviewed,
among
other
things,
the
net
revenue
margins
(pre-tax)
of
Nuveen
Investments
on
a
company-wide
basis
and
the
net
revenue
margins
(pre-tax)
of
Nuveen
Investments
derived
from
its
services
to
the
Nuveen
funds
only
(including
and
excluding
distribution)
compared
to
the
adjusted
operating
margins
of
the
peer
group
for
each
calendar
year
from
2012
to
2022.
Although
the
total
company
operating
margins
of
Nuveen
Investments
were
in
the
bottom
half
of
the
peer
group
range
for
2022
and
2021,
the
Independent
Board
Members
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
2022
and
2021
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
each
Sub-Adviser
from
its
relationships
with
the
respective
Nuveen
funds.
In
this
regard,
with
respect
to
NAM,
the
Independent
Board
Members
reviewed,
among
other
things,
NAM’s
revenues,
expenses
and
net
revenue
margins
(pre-
and
after-tax)
for
its
advisory
activities
to
the
respective
Nuveen
funds
for
the
calendar
years
ended
December 31,
2022
and
December
31,
2021.
The
Independent
Board
Members
also
reviewed
a
profitability
analysis
reflecting
the
revenues,
expenses
and
revenue
margin
(pre-
and
after-tax)
by
asset
type
for
NAM
for
the
calendar
years
ending
December 31,
2022
and
December
31,
2021.
With
respect
to
Security
Capital,
the
Independent
Board
Members
considered
a
margin
analysis
for
such
Sub-
Adviser,
generally
including
revenues,
expenses
and
operating
margins
for
its
advisory
services
to
the
applicable
Nuveen
funds
for
the
calendar
years
2022
and
2021.
With
respect
to
Security
Capital,
which
is
unaffiliated
with
Nuveen,
the
Board
recognized
that
the
sub-
advisory
fee
would
have
been
established
through
arm’s
length
negotiations
between
the
Adviser
and
such
Sub-Adviser,
and
the
Adviser
pays
such
Sub-Adviser
out
of
its
own
revenues.
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
each
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,
whether
these
economies
of
scale
have
been
appropriately
shared
with
the
funds
and
whether
there
is
potential
for
realization
of
further
economies
of
scale.
Although
the
Board
recognized
that
economies
of
scale
are
difficult
to
measure
with
any
precision
and
certain
expenses
may
not
decline
with
a
rise
in
assets,
the
Board
considered
that
Nuveen
shares
the
benefits
of
economies
of
scale,
if
any,
in
a
number
of
ways
including
through
the
use
of
breakpoints
in
the
management
fee
schedule,
fee
waivers
and/or
expense
limitations,
the
pricing
of
funds
at
scale
at
inception
and
investments
in
Nuveen’s
business
which
can
enhance
the
services
provided
to
the
funds
for
the
fees
paid.
In
this
regard,
the
Board
recognized
that
the
management
fee
of
63
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.
With
this
structure,
the
Board
noted
that
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,
and
the
fund-level
breakpoint
schedules
are
designed
to
share
economies
of
scale
with
shareholders
if
the
particular
fund
grows.
The
Board
noted,
however,
that
although
closed-end
funds
may
make
additional
share
offerings
from
time
to
time,
the
closed-end
funds
have
a
more
limited
ability
to
increase
their
assets
because
the
growth
of
their
assets
will
occur
primarily
from
the
appreciation
of
their
investment
portfolios.
As
noted
above,
the
Independent
Board
Members
also
recognized
the
continued
reinvestment
in
Nuveen’s
business
to
enhance
its
capabilities
and
services
to
the
benefit
of
its
various
clients.
The
Board
understood
that
many
of
these
investments
in
the
Nuveen
business
were
not
specific
to
individual
Nuveen
funds
but
rather
incurred
across
of
a
variety
of
products
and
services
pursuant
to
which
the
family
of
Nuveen
funds
as
a
whole
may
benefit.
In
addition,
the
Board
also
considered
that
Nuveen
has
provided,
without
raising
advisory
fees
to
the
Nuveen
funds,
certain
additional
services,
including,
but
not
limited
to,
services
required
by
new
regulations
and
regulatory
interpretations,
and
this
was
also
a
means
of
sharing
economies
of
scale
with
the
funds
and
their
shareholders.
Based
on
its
review,
the
Board
was
satisfied
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
Board
acknowledged
that
an
affiliate
of
the
Adviser
may
receive
compensation
for
serving
as
a
co-manager
in
the
initial
public
offerings
of
new
Nuveen
closed-end
funds
(if
any)
and
for
serving
as
an
underwriter
on
shelf
offerings
of
existing
Nuveen
closed-end
funds
and
reviewed
the
amounts
paid
for
such
services,
if
any,
in
2021
and
2022.
In
addition,
the
Independent
Board
Members
noted
that
while
various
sub-advisers
to
the
Nuveen
funds
(including
NAM)
do
not
generally
benefit
from
soft
dollar
arrangements
with
respect
to
Nuveen
fund
portfolio
transactions,
Security
Capital
may
engage
in
soft
dollar
transactions
pursuant
to
which
it
may
receive
the
benefit
of
research
products
and
other
services
provided
by
broker-dealers
executing
portfolio
transactions
on
behalf
of
the
applicable
Nuveen
fund(s).
Based
on
its
review,
the
Board
concluded
that
any
indirect
benefits
received
by
a
Fund
Adviser
as
a
result
of
its
relationship
with
the
applicable
Fund(s)
were
reasonable
in
light
of
the
services
provided.
F.
Other
Considerations
The
Independent
Board
Members
did
not
identify
any
single
factor
discussed
previously
as
all-important
or
controlling.
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
applicable
Fund
and
that
the
Advisory
Agreements
be
renewed
for
an
additional
one-year
period.
