Recent
Market
Factors
Each
of
the
Funds
covered
by
this
Report
have
substantial
allocations
to
preferred
and
contingent
capital
securities
issued
by
U.S.
and
non-U.S.
banks
and
other
financial
institutions.
Given
the
increases
in
prevailing
interest
rates
and
other
market
factors,
these
securities
continue
to
be
subject
to
heightened
volatility
and
may,
ultimately,
detract
from
Fund
performance.
Nuveen
Preferred
and
Income
Term
Fund
(JPI)
Fund
Restructuring
Proposal
On
January
18,
2024,
the
Fund’s
Board
of
Trustees
approved
a
proposal
for
JPI
that
will
allow
Fund
shareholders
the
opportunity
to
maintain
their
investment
in
the
Fund
and
its
exposure
to
preferred
and
other
income
producing
securities.
In
light
of
the
upcoming
scheduled
termination
of
the
Fund
on
or
before
August
31,
2024,
the
proposal
asks
shareholders
to
vote
to
amend
the
Fund’s
declaration
of
trust
to
eliminate
the
Fund’s
term
structure.
If
the
amendment
is
approved
by
shareholders,
the
Fund
will
conduct
a
tender
offer
for
100%
of
its
outstanding
shares
at
net
asset
value.
If
the
Fund’s
common
assets,
taking
into
account
shares
properly
tendered
in
the
tender
offer,
would
be
$70
million
or
greater,
the
tender
offer
will
be
completed
and
the
Fund’s
term
structure
will
be
eliminated.
If
the
Fund’s
common
assets
after
the
tender
offer
would
be
less
than
$70
million,
the
tender
offer
will
be
cancelled
with
no
common
shares
repurchased
and
instead
the
Fund
will
proceed
to
terminate
as
scheduled.
As
part
of
the
proposal,
if
the
Fund’s
term
structure
is
eliminated,
the
Fund’s
name
will
change
to
“Nuveen
Preferred
Securities
&
Income
Opportunities
Fund”
and
the
Fund’s
common
shares
will
continue
to
trade
on
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
under
the
current
ticker
symbol.
In
addition,
if
the
Fund’s
term
structure
is
eliminated,
Nuveen
will
waive
50%
of
its
new
management
fees
over
the
first
year
following
the
elimination
of
the
term,
which
may
enhance
the
net
earnings
of
the
Fund.
Each
of
the
changes
described
above
will
take
effect
only
if
shareholders
approve
the
proposal
described
above
and
the
tender
offer
condition
is
satisfied.
More
information
on
the
proposal
will
be
contained
in
the
proxy
materials
for
the
Fund.
4
Fund
Leverage
IMPACT
OF
THE
FUNDS’
LEVERAGE
STRATEGIES
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,
Taxable
Fund
Preferred
Shares
(TFP)
for
and/or
reverse
repurchase
agreements.
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
securities
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,
JFR,
JQC
and
JPC’s
use
of
leverage
was
accretive
to
overall
common
share
income.
JPC
and
JPI
continued
to
use
interest
rate
swap
contracts
to
partially
hedge
the
interest
cost
of
leverage.
The
interest
rate
swaps
in
JPC
had
a
positive
impact
on
relative
performance
during
the
period.
The
interest
rate
swaps
in
JPI
had
a
negligible
impact
on
performance
during
the
reporting
period.
As
of
January
31,
2024,
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
reverse
repurchase
agreements,
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.

FUNDS’
LEVERAGE

noted

COMMON
SHARE
DISTRIBUTION
INFORMATION
The
following
information
regarding the
Funds' distributions
is
current
as
of
January
31,
2024.  Each
Fund's
distribution
levels
may
vary
over
time
based
on each
Fund's
investment
activity
and
portfolio
investment
value
changes.
During
the
current
reporting
period, each
Fund's
distributions
to
common
shareholders
were
as
shown
in
the
accompanying
table.
.
JPC,
JPI
and
NPFD
sought
to
pay
regular
monthly
dividends
out
of
their
net
investment
income
at
a
rate
that
reflected
their
past
and
projected
net
income
performance.
To
permit
each
Fund
to
maintain
a
more
stable
monthly
dividend,
the
Fund
paid
dividends
at
a
rate
that
was
more
or
less
than
the
amount
of
net
income
actually
earned
by
the
Fund
during
the
period.
Distributions
to
common
shareholders
are
determined
on
a
tax
basis,
which
may
differ
from
amounts
recorded
in
the
accounting
records.
In
instances
where
the
monthly
dividend
exceeded
the
earned
net
investment
income,
the
Fund
reported
a
negative
undistributed
net
ordinary
income.
Refer
to the
Notes
to
Financial Statements for
additional
information
regarding
the
amounts
of
undistributed
net
ordinary
income
and
undistributed
net
long-term
capital
gains
and
the
character
of
the
actual
distributions
paid
by
the
Fund
during
the
prior
period.

Each
Fund
intends
to
distribute
all
or
substantially
all
of
its
net
investment
income
through
its
regular
monthly
distribution
and
to
distribute
realized
capital
gains
at
least
annually.
In
addition,
in
any
monthly
period,
to
maintain
its
declared
per
common
share
distribution
amount,
each
Fund
may
distribute
more
or
less
than
its
net
investment
income
during
the
period.
In
the
event
the
Fund
distributes
more
than
its
net
investment
income
during
any
yearly
period,
such
distributions
may
also
include
realized

and/or
a
return
of
capital.
To
the
extent
that
a
distribution
includes
a
return
of
capital
the
NAV

may
erode.
The
practice
of
maintaining
a
stable
distribution
level
had
no
material
effect
on
each
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

to
erode.

All

If

Current
distribution
rate
is
based
on
the
Fund’s
current
annualized
monthly
distribution
divided
by
the
Fund’s
current
market
price.
The
Fund’s
monthly
distributions
to
its
shareholders
may
be
comprised
of
ordinary
income,
net
realized
capital
gains
and,
if
at

the

cumulative
net
ordinary
income
and
net
realized
gains
are
less
than
the
amount
of
the
Fund’s
distributions,
a
return
of
capital
for
tax
purposes.

Each
Fund’s
distribution
policy,
which
may
be
changed
by
the
Board,
is
to
make
regular
monthly
cash
distributions
to
holders
of
its
common
shares
(stated
in
terms
of
a
fixed
cents
per
common
share
dividend
distribution
rate
which
may
be
set
from
time
to
time).
Each
Fund
intends
to
distribute
all
or
substantially
all
of
its
net
investment
income
each
year
through
its
regular
monthly
distribution
and
to
distribute
realized
capital
gains
at
least
annually.
In
addition,
in
any
monthly
period,
to
maintain
its
declared
per
common
share
distribution
amount,
a
Fund
may
distribute
more
or
less
than
its
net
investment
income
during
the
period.
In
the
event
a
Fund
distribute
more
than
its
net
investment
income
during
any
yearly
period,
such
distributions
may
also
include
realized
gains
and/or
a
return
of
capital.
To
the
extent
that
a
distribution
includes
a
return
of
capital
the
NAV
per
share
may
erode.
The
practice
of
maintaining
a
stable
distribution
level
had
no
material
effect
on
each
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.
Because
distribution
source
estimates
are
updated
throughout
the
current
fiscal
year
based
on
a
fund’s
performance,
these
estimates
may
differ
from
both
the
tax
information
reported
to
you
in
your
fund’s
1099
statement,
as
well
as
the
ultimate
economic
sources
of
distributions
over
the
life
of
your
investment.
The
figures
in
the
table
below
provide
an
estimate
of
the
sources
of
distributions
and
may
include
amounts
attributed
to
realized
gains
and/or
returns
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
Funds
attribute
these
estimates
equally
to
each
regular
distribution
throughout
the
year.
Consequently,
the
estimated
information
shown
below
is
for
the
current
distribution,
and
also
represents
an
updated
estimate
for
all
prior
months
in
the
fiscal
year.
These
estimates
should
not
be
used
for
tax
reporting
purposes.
The
final
determination
for
all
distributions
paid
in
2024
will
be
made
in
early
2025
and
reported
to
you
on
Form
1099-DIV.

details
about
each
Fund’s
distributions
and
the
basis
for
these
estimates

For
Fund
portfolio
compliance
purposes,
the
Fund’s
industry
classifications
refer
to
any
one
or
more
of
the
industry
sub-classifications
used
by
one
or
more
widely
recognized
market
indexes
or
ratings
group
indexes,
and/or
as
defined
by
Fund
management.
This
definition
may
not
apply
for
purposes
of
this
report,
which
may
combine
industry
sub-classifications
into
sectors
for
reporting
ease.
(a)
All
percentages
shown
in
the
Portfolio
of
Investments
are
based
on
net
assets
applicable
to
common
shares
unless
otherwise
noted.
(b)
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.
(c)
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.
(d)
Investment,
or
portion
of
investment,
represents
an
outstanding
unfunded
senior
loan
commitment.
(e)
Defaulted
security.
A
security
whose
issuer
has
failed
to
fully
pay
principal
and/or
interest
when
due,
or
is
under
the
protection
of
bankruptcy.
(f)
Principal
Amount
(000)
rounds
to
less
than
$1,000.
(g)
Non-income
producing;
issuer
has
not
declared
an
ex-dividend
date
within
the
past
twelve
months.
(h)
For
fair
value
measurement
disclosure
purposes,
investment
classified
as
Level
3.
(i)
On
March
1,
2024,
Vistra
Corp.
(“Vistra”)
completed
its
acquisition
of
Energy
Harbor
Corp
(“ENGH”).  ENGH
has
been
merged
into
a
newly
formed
subsidiary
of
Vistra,
Vistra
Vision.  In
connection
with
the
transaction,
holders
of
ENGH
common
stock
received
a
combination
of
cash
and
membership
interests
in
Vistra
Vision.  
These
Vistra
Vision
interests
were
issued
in
a
private
transaction
and
may
have
reduced
secondary
market
liquidity.
(j)
Variable
rate
security.
The
rate
shown
is
the
coupon
as
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period.
(k)
The
rate
shown
is
the
annualized
seven-day
subsidized
yield
as
of
end
of
the
reporting
period.
(l)
Borrowings
as
a
percentage
of
Total
Investments
is
23.3%.
(m)
The
Fund
segregates
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.
(n)
TFP

under
Rule
144A
of
the
Securities
Act
of
1933,
as
amended.
These

may
only
be
resold
in

exempt
from

which
are
normally
those

with
qualified
institutional
buyers.

Senior

purchased
on

basis.
Certain
details
associated
with
this
purchase
are
not
known
prior
to
the
settlement
date
of
the
transaction.
In
addition,
senior
loans
typically
trade
without
accrued
interest
and
therefore
a
coupon
rate
is
not
available
prior
to
settlement.
At
settlement,
if
still

will

with

For
Fund
portfolio
compliance
purposes,
the
Fund’s
industry
classifications
refer
to
any
one
or
more
of
the
industry
sub-classifications
used
by
one
or
more
widely
recognized
market
indexes
or
ratings
group
indexes,
and/or
as
defined
by
Fund
management.
This
definition
may
not
apply
for
purposes
of
this
report,
which
may
combine
industry
sub-classifications
into
sectors
for
reporting
ease.
(a)
All
percentages
shown
in
the
Portfolio
of
Investments
are
based
on
net
assets
applicable
to
common
shares
unless
otherwise
noted.
(b)
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.
53
(c)
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.
(d)
Investment,
or
portion
of
investment,
represents
an
outstanding
unfunded
senior
loan
commitment.
(e)
Defaulted
security.
A
security
whose
issuer
has
failed
to
fully
pay
principal
and/or
interest
when
due,
or
is
under
the
protection
of
bankruptcy.
(f)
Investment,
or
portion
of
investment,
has
been
pledged
to
collateralize
the
net
payment
obligations
for
investments
in
reverse
repurchase
agreements.
As
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
investments
with
a
value
of
$195,497,628
have
been
pledged
as
collateral
for
reverse
repurchase
agreements.
(g)
Non-income
producing;
issuer
has
not
declared
an
ex-dividend
date
within
the
past
twelve
months.
(h)
For
fair
value
measurement
disclosure
purposes,
investment
classified
as
Level
3.
(i)
On
March
1,
2024,

connection
with
the
transaction,
holders
of

common

received
a
combination
of
cash
and
membership
interests
in

These
Vistra

a
private
transaction
and
may
have
reduced
secondary
market
liquidity.

Senior
loan
purchased
on
a
when-issued
or
delayed-delivery
basis.
Certain
details
associated
with
this
purchase
are
not
known
prior
to
the
settlement
date
of
the
transaction.
In
addition,
senior
loans
typically
trade
without
accrued
interest
and
therefore
a
coupon
rate
is
not
available
prior
to
settlement.
At
settlement,
if
still
unknown,
the
borrower
or
counterparty
will
provide
the
Fund
with
the
final
coupon
rate
and
maturity
date.

may
often

(JSD)
(the

Nuveen
Preferred

(JPS)
and

(JPT)
(the
“Target

were
each
merged
into

(each
a
“Merger”)
.
With
respect
to
each
Merger
of
a
Target
Fund
with
and
into
the
Acquiring
Fund,
the
separate
legal
existence
of
the
Target
Fund
ceased
for
all
purposes
and
the
Acquiring
Fund
succeeded
to
all
the
assets
and
assumed
all
the
liabilities
of
the
Target
Fund.
Shares
of
the
Target
Fund
were
converted
into
newly
issued
shares
of
the
Acquiring
Fund.
Holders
of
common
shares
of
the
Target
Fund
received
newly
issued
common
shares
of
the
Acquiring
Fund,
the
aggregate
net
asset
value
(“NAV”)
of
which
was
equal
to
the
aggregate
NAV
of
the
common
shares
of
the
Target
Fund
held
immediately
prior
to
the
Merger
(including
for
this
purpose
fractional
Acquiring

shares
to
which
shareholders
were
entitled).
For
accounting
and
performance
reporting
purposes,
the
Acquiring
Fund
is
the
survivor.

details
on
each

JPI
Fund
Restructuring
Proposal:
On
January
18,
2024,
the
Board
of
Trustees
(the"
Board")
approved
a
proposal
for
JPI
that
will
allow
Fund
shareholders
the
opportunity
to
maintain
their
investment
in
the
Fund
and
its
exposure
to
preferred
and
other
income
producing
securities.
In
light
of
the
upcoming
scheduled
termination
of
the
Fund
on
or
before
August
31,
2024,
the
proposal
asks
shareholders
to
vote
to
amend
the
Fund’s
declaration
of
trust
to
eliminate
the
term
structure.
If
the
amendment
is
approved
by
shareholders,
the
Fund
will
conduct
a
tender
offer
for
100%
of
its
outstanding
shares
at
NAV.
If
the
Fund’s
common
assets
taking
into
account
shares
properly
tendered
in
the
tender
offer
would
be
$70
million
or
greater,
the
tender
offer
will
be
completed
and
the
Fund’s
term
structure
will
be
eliminated.
If
the
Fund’s
common
assets
after
the
tender
offer
would
be
less
than
$70
million,
the
tender
offer
will
be
cancelled
with
no
common
shares
repurchased
and
instead
the
Fund
will
proceed
to
terminate
as
scheduled.
As
part
of
the
proposal,
if
the
Fund’s
term
structure
is
eliminated,
the
Fund’s
name
will
change
to
“Nuveen
Preferred
Securities
&
Income
Opportunities
Fund”
and
the
Fund’s
common
shares
will
continue
to
trade
on
the
NYSE
under
the
current
ticker
symbol.
In
addition,
if
the
Fund's
term
structure
is
eliminated,
Nuveen
will
waive
50%
of
its
new
management
fees
over
the
first
year
following
elimination
of
the
term,
which
may
enhance
the
net
earnings
of
the
Fund.
Each
of
the
changes
described
above
will
take
effect
only
if
shareholders
approved
the
proposal
described
above
and
the
tender
offer
condition
is
satisfied.

Developments
Regarding
JFR’s
Control
Share
By-Law:
On
January
14,
2021,
the
Board
received
a
shareholder
demand
letter
(the
“Demand
Letter”)
from
Saba
Capital
CEF
Opportunities
1,
Ltd.
and
Saba
Capital
Management,
L.P.
(collectively,
Saba
”)
demanding
that
the
Fund
(
i
)
rescinds
the
Fund’s
by-law
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”)
and
(ii)
commence
judicial
action
against
the
Board
to
ensure
that
the
Control
Share
By-Law
is
withdrawn.
Following
review
of
the
Demand
Letter,
the
Board
determined
that
it
would
not
be
in
the
best
interests
of
the
Fund
or
the
Fund’s
shareholders
to
take
the
actions
requested
in
the
Demand
Letter.
Also
on
January
14,
2021,
Saba
filed
a
civil
complaint
in
the
U.S.
District
Court
for
the
Southern
District
of
New
York
(the
“District
Court”)
against
the
Fund,
certain
other
Nuveen
funds
and
the
Board,
seeking
a
declaration
that
the
Control
Share
By-Law
violates
the
1940
Act,
rescission
of
the
Control
Share
By-Law
and
a
permanent
injunction
against
applying
the
Control
Share
By-Law.
On
February
18,
2022,
the
District
Court
granted
judgment
in
favor
of
Saba’s
claim
for
rescission
of
the
Control
Share
By-Law
and
Saba’s
declaratory
judgment
claim,
and
declared
that
the
Control
Share
By-Law
violates
Section
18(
i
)
of
the
1940
Act.
Following
review
of
the
judgment
of

Notes
to
Financial
Statements
(Unaudited)
(continued)
the
District
Court,
on
February
22,
2022,
the
Board

and
Fund
appealed
the
District
Court’s
decision
to
the
U.S.
Court
of
Appeals
for

2023,
the
U.S.
Court
of
Appeals
for
the
Second
Circuit
upheld
the
opinion
of
the
District

the
Board
of
the
Fund
Amended
and
Restated
By-Laws
to
eliminate
the
“control

provisions.
Developments
Regarding
the
JQC’s,
JPC’s,
JPI’s
and
NPFD’s
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
favour
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
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

and
that
if
the
judgment
of
the
District
Court
is

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

for
the

Significant
Accounting
Policies 
The
accompanying
financial
statements
were
prepared
in
accordance
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
(“U.S.
GAAP”),
which
may
require
the
use
of
estimates
made
by
management
and
the
evaluation
of
subsequent
events.
Actual
results
may
differ
from
those
estimates.
Each
Fund
is
an
investment
company
and
follows
accounting
guidance
in
the
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
(“FASB”)
Accounting
Standards
Codification
946,
Financial
Services
Investment
Companies.
The
NAV
for
financial
reporting
purposes
may
differ
from
the
NAV
for
processing
security
and
shareholder
transactions.
The
NAV
for
financial
reporting
purposes
includes
security
and
shareholder
transactions
through
the
date
of
the
report.
Total
return
is
computed
based
on
the
NAV
used
for
processing
security
and
shareholder
transactions.
The
following
is
a
summary
of
the
significant
accounting
policies
consistently
followed
by
the
Funds.
Compensation:
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.
The
Funds’
distribution
policy,
which
may
be
changed
by
the
Board,
is
to
make
regular
monthly
cash
distributions
to
holders
of
their
common
shares
(stated
in
terms
of
a
fixed
cents
per
common
share
dividend
distributions
rate
which
may
be
set
from
time
to
time).
Each
Fund
intends
to
distribute
all
or
substantially
all
of
its
net
investment
income
through
its
regular
monthly
distribution
and
to
distribute
realized
capital
gains
at
least
annually.
In
addition,
in
any
monthly
period,
to
maintain
its
declared
per
common
share
distribution
amount,
a
Fund
may
distribute
more
or
less
than
its
net
investment
income
during
the
period.
In
the
event
a
Fund
distributes
more
than
its
net
investment
income
during
any
yearly
period,
such
distributions
may
also
include
realized
gains
and/or
a
return
of
capital.
To
the
extent
that
a
distribution
includes
a
return
of
capital
the
NAV
per
share
may
erode.
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.
95
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,
the
JPC,
JPI
and
NPFD
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
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date
and
recorded
at
fair
value.
Interest
income,
which
is
recorded
on
an
accrual
basis
and
includes
accretion
of
discounts
and
amortization
of
premiums
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Interest
income
also
reflects
payment-in-kind
(“PIK”)
interest
and
paydown
gains
and
losses,
if
any.
PIK
interest
represents
income
received
in
the
form
of
securities
in
lieu
of
cash.
Rehypothecation
income
is
comprised
of
fees
earned
in
connection
with
the
rehypothecation
of
pledged
collateral
as
further
described
later
in
these
Notes
to
Financial
Statements.
Fee
income
consists
primarily
of
amendment
fees,
when
applicable.
Amendment
fees
are
earned
as
compensation
for
evaluating
and
accepting
changes
to
an
original
senior
loan
agreement
and
are
recognized
when
received.
Fee
income
and
amendment
fees,
if
any,
are
recognized
as
“Fees”
on
the
Statement
of
Operations.
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
Financials.
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.
During
the
current
fiscal
period,
the
Funds
adopted
the
new
guidance
and
there
was
no
material
impact
to
the
Funds.
3.
Investment
Valuation
and
Fair
Value
Measurements 
The
Funds’
investments
in
securities
are
recorded
at
their
estimated
fair
value
utilizing
valuation
methods
approved
by
the
Adviser,
subject
to
oversight
of
the Board.
Fair
value
is
defined
as
the
price
that
would
be
received
upon
selling
an
investment
or
transferring
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
to
an
independent
buyer
in
the
principal
or
most
advantageous
market
for
the
investment.
U.S.
GAAP
establishes
the
three-tier
hierarchy
which
is
used
to
maximize
the
use
of
observable
market
data
and
minimize
the
use
of
unobservable
inputs
and
to
establish
classification
of
fair
value
measurements
for
disclosure
purposes.
Observable
inputs
reflect
the
assumptions
market
participants
would
use
in
pricing
the
asset
or
liability.
Observable
inputs
are
based
on
market
data
obtained
from
sources
independent
of
the
reporting
entity.
Unobservable
inputs
reflect
management’s
assumptions
about
the
assumptions
market
participants
would
use
in
pricing
the
asset
or
liability.
Unobservable
inputs
are
based
on
the
best
information
available
in
the
circumstances.
The
following
is
a
summary
of
the
three-tiered
hierarchy
of
valuation
input
levels.
Level
1
Inputs
are
unadjusted
and
prices
are
determined
using
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
securities.
Level
2
Prices
are
determined
using
other
significant
observable
inputs
(including
quoted
prices
for
similar
securities,
interest
rates,
credit
spreads,
etc.).
Level
3
Prices
are
determined
using
significant
unobservable
inputs
(including
management’s
assumptions
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
investments).
A
description
of
the
valuation
techniques
applied
to
the
Funds’
major
classifications
of
assets
and
liabilities
measured
at
fair
value
follows:
Equity
securities
and
exchange-traded
funds
listed
or
traded
on
a
national
market
or
exchange
are
valued
based
on
their
last
reported sales
price
or
official
closing
price of such
market
or
exchange
on
the
valuation
date.
Foreign
equity
securities
and
registered
investment
companies
that
trade
on
a
foreign
exchange
are
valued
at
the
last
reported sales
price
or
official
closing
price
on
the
principal
exchange
where
traded,
and
converted
to
U.S.
dollars
at
the
prevailing
rates
of
exchange
on
the valuation
date.
For
events affecting
the value
of
foreign
securities
between
the
time
when
the
exchange
on
which
they
are
traded
closes
and
the
time
when
the
Funds'
net
assets
are
calculated,
such
securities
will
be
valued
at
fair
value
in
accordance
with
procedures
adopted
by
the
Adviser,
subject
to
the
oversight
of
the
Board. To
the
extent
these
securities
are
actively
traded
and
no
valuation
adjustments
are
applied,
they
are
generally
classified
as
Level
1. When
valuation
adjustments
are
applied
to
the
most
recent
last
sales
price
or
official
closing
price, these
securities
are
generally
classified
as
Level
2.
97
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.
Investments
in
investment
companies
are
valued
at
their
respective
NAVs
or
share
price on
the
valuation
date
and
are
generally
classified
as
Level
1. 
Repurchase
agreements
are
valued
at
contract
amount
plus
accrued
interest,
which
approximates
market
value.
These
securities
are
generally
classified
as
Level
2.
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. 
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

summarizes
the
market
value
of
the
Funds’

as
of

Unfunded
Commitments:
Pursuant
to
the
terms
of
certain
of
the
variable
rate
senior
loan
agreements,
JFR
and
JQC
may
have
unfunded
senior
loan
commitments.
Each
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,
JFR
and
JQC’s
outstanding
unfunded
senior
loan
commitments
were
as
follows:
Repurchase
Agreements:
During
the
current
fiscal
period
JPC
and
NPFD
entered
into
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

presents
the
repurchase
agreements
for
JPC
and
NPFD
that
are

Participation
Commitments:
With
respect
to
the
senior
loans
held
in
JFR
and
JQC’s
portfolio,
the
Funds
may:
1)
invest
in
assignments;
2)
act
as
a
participant
in
primary
lending
syndicates;
or
3)
invest
in
participations.
If
a
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
Funds
not
only
assume
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
Funds
had
no
such
outstanding
participation
commitments.
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
(excluding
in-kind
transactions,
where
applicable)
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. 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.
Investments
in
derivatives
as
of
the
end
of
and/or
during
the
current
fiscal
period,
if
any,
are
included
within
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
and
the
Statement
of
Operations,
respectively.
Futures
Contracts:
During
the
current
fiscal
period,
JPC
used
interest
rate
futures
to
manage
the
duration
of
the
portfolio.
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
equal
to
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

The
average
notional
amount
of
futures

outstanding
during

was
as
follows:
Interest
Rate
Swap
Contracts:
During
the
current
fiscal
period,
JPC
and
JPI
used
interest
rate
swap
contracts
to
partially
hedge
their
interest
cost
of
leverage.
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
contracts 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
contracts.
Changes
in
the
value
of
the
swap
contracts
during
the
fiscal
period
are
recognized
as
net
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
of
swaps
contracts on
the
Statement
of
Operations.
The
net
amount
of
periodic
payments
settled
in
cash
are
recognized
as
net
realized
gain
(loss)
from
swap
contracts on
the
Statement
of
Operations,
in
addition
to
the
net
realized
gain
or
loss
recorded
upon
the
termination
of
the
swap
contract.
The
average
notional
amount
of
interest
rate

contracts
outstanding
during
the
current
fiscal
period
was

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.

Equity

Programs
and
Offering
Costs:
JPC
has
filed
a
registration
statement
with
the Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
("SEC")
authorizing
the
Fund
to
issue
additional
common
shares
through
one
or
more
equity
shelf
programs
(“Shelf
Offering”),
which
became
effective
with
the
SEC
during
a
prior
fiscal
period.
Under
this
Shelf
Offering,
the
Fund,
subject
to
market
conditions,
may
raise
additional
equity
capital
by
issuing
additional
common
shares
from
time
to
time
in
varying
amounts
and
by
different
offering
methods
at
a
net
price
at
or
above
Fund’s
NAV
per
common
share.
In
the
event
the
Fund’s
Shelf
Offering
registration
statement
is
no
longer
current,
the
Fund
may
not
issue
additional
common
shares
until
a
post-effective
amendment

statement
has
been

Common Share
Transactions:
Transactions
in common
shares
for
the
Funds
during
the
Funds’
current
and
prior
fiscal
period,
where
applicable,
were
as
follows:
Preferred
Shares
Taxable
Fund
Preferred
Shares:
JFR,
JQC,
JPC
and
NPFD
have
issued
and
have
outstanding
Taxable
Fund
Preferred
(“TFP”)
Shares,
with
a
$1,000
liquidation
preference
per
share.
These
TFP
Shares
were
issued
via
private
placement
and
are
not
publicly
available.
The
Fund
is
obligated
to
redeem
its
TFP
Shares
by
the
date
as
specified
in
its
offering
documents
(“Term
Redemption
Date”),
unless
earlier
redeemed
by
the
Fund.
TFP
Shares
are
initially
issued
in
a
pre-specified
mode,
however,
TFP
Shares
can
be
subsequently
designated
as
an
alternative
mode
at
a
later
date
at
the
discretion
of
the
Funds.
The
modes
within
TFP
Shares
detail
the
dividend
mechanics
and
are
described
as
follows.
At
a
subsequent
date,
the
Funds
may
establish
additional
mode
structures
with
the
TFP
Share.
Variable
Rate
Mode
(“VRM”)
Dividends
for
TFP
Shares
designated
in
this
mode
are
based
upon
a
short-term
index
plus
an
additional
fixed
“spread"
amount
established
at
the
time
of
issuance
or
renewal
/
conversion
of
its
mode.
At
the
end
of
the
period
of
the
mode,
the
Fund
will
be
required
to
either
extend
the
term
of
the
mode,
designate
an
alternative
mode
or
redeem
the
TFP
Shares.
The
fair
value
of
TFP
Shares
while
in
VRM
are
expected
to
approximate
their
liquidation
preference
so
long
as
the
fixed
“spread”
on
the
shares
remains
roughly
in
line
with
the
“spread’
being
demanded
by
investors
on
instruments
having
similar
terms
in
the
current
market.
In
current
market
conditions,
the
Adviser
has
determined
that
the
fair
value
of
the
shares
are
approximately
their
liquidation
preference,
but
their
fair
value
could
vary
if
market
conditions
change
materially.
Variable
Rate
Demand
Mode
(“VRDM”)
Dividends
for
TFP
Shares
designated
in
this
mode
will
be
established
by
a
remarketing
agent;
therefore,
the
market
value
of
the
TFP
Shares
is
expected
to
approximate
its
liquidation
preference.
While
in
this
mode,
shares
will
have
an
unconditional
liquidity
feature
that
enable
its
shareholders
to
require
a
liquidity
provider,
which
each
Fund
has
entered
into
a
contractual
agreement,
to
purchase
shares
in
the
event
that
the
shares
are
not
able
to
be
successfully
remarketed.
In
the
event
that
shares
within
this
mode
are
unable
to
be
successfully
remarketed
and
are
purchased
by
the
liquidity
provider,
the
dividend
rate
will
be
the
maximum
rate
which
is
designed
to
escalate
according
to
a
specified
schedule
in
order
to
enhance
the
remarketing
agent’s
ability
to
successfully
remarket
the
shares.
Each
Fund
is
required
to
redeem
any
shares
that
are
still
owned
by
a
liquidity
provider
after
six
months
of
continuous,
unsuccessful
remarketing.
The
Funds
will
pay
a
liquidity
and
remarketing
fee
on
the
aggregate
principal
amount
of
all
TFP
Shares
while
within
VRDM.
Payments
made
by
the
Funds
to
the
liquidity
provider
and
remarketing
agent
are
recognized
as
“Liquidity
fees”
and
“Remarketing
fees”,
respectively,
on
the
Statement
of
Operations.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
the
liquidation
preference
of
TFP
Shares
is
recorded
as
a
liability
and
is
recognized
as
a
component
of
“TFP
Shares,
net”
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Dividends
on
the
TFP
shares
are
treated
as
interest
payments
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Unpaid
dividends
on
TFP
shares
are
recognized
as
a
component
on
“Interest
payable”
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Dividends
accrued
on
TFP
Shares
are
recognized
as
a
component
of
“Interest
expense
and
amortization
of
offering
costs”
on
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Subject
to
certain
conditions,
TFP
Shares
may
be
redeemed,
in
whole
or
in
part,
at
any
time
at
the
option
of
the
Funds.
Each
Fund
may
also
be
required
to
redeem
certain
TFP
shares
if
the
Fund
fails
to
maintain
certain
asset
coverage
requirements
and
such
failures
are
not
cured
by
the
applicable
cure
date.
The
redemption
price
per
share
in
all
circumstances
is
equal
to
the
liquidation
preference
per
share
plus
any
accumulated
but
unpaid
dividends.
Costs
incurred
in
connection
with
their
offerings
of
TFP
Shares
were
recorded
as
a
deferred
charge
and
are
being
amortized
over
the
life
of
the
shares.
These
offering
costs
are
recognized
as
a
component
of
“TFP
Shares,
Net”
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
and
“Interest

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.

Management
Fees
and
Other
Transactions
with
Affiliates
The
management
fee
compensates
the
Adviser
for
overall
investment
advisory
and
administrative
services
and
general
office
facilities.
The
Sub-
Adviser
is
compensated
for
its
services
to
the
Funds
from
the
management
fees
paid
to
the
Adviser.
Each
Fund’s
management
fee
consists
of
two
components
a
fund-level
fee,
based
only
on
the
amount
of
assets
within
each
individual
Fund,
and
a
complex-level
fee,
based
on
the
aggregate
amount
of
all
eligible
fund
assets
managed
by
the
Adviser.
This
pricing
structure
enables
Fund
shareholders
to
benefit
from
growth
in
the
assets
within
their
respective
Fund
as
well
as
from
growth
in
the
amount
of
complex-wide
assets
managed
by
the
Adviser.
The
annual
fund-level
fee,
payable
monthly,
for
each
Fund
is
calculated
according

Effective
November

in
conjunction
with
the
Merger
of
JPC,
the
annual
Fund-level
fee,
payable
monthly
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
rate
securities)
in
tender
option
bond
(TOB)
trusts,
including
the
portion
of
assets
held
by
a
TOB
trust
that
has
been
effectively
financed
by
the
trust’s
issuance
of
floating
rate
securities,
subject
to
an
agreement
by
the
Adviser
as
to
certain
funds
to
limit
the
amount
of
such
assets
for
determining
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
include
assets
attributable
to
investments
in
other
Nuveen
funds
or
assets
in
excess
of
a
determined
amount
(originally
$2
billion)
added
to
the
Nuveen
fund
complex
in
connection
with
the
Adviser’s
assumption
of
the
management
of
the
former
First
American
Funds
effective
January
1,
2011,
but
do
not
include
certain
assets
of
certain
Nuveen
funds
that
were
reorganized
into
funds
advised
by
an
affiliate
of
the
Adviser
during
the
2019
calendar
year.
As
of
January
31,
2024,
the
complex-level
fee
for
each
Fund
was
as
follows:
9.
Commitments
and
Contingencies
In
the
normal
course
of
business, each
Fund
enters
into
a
variety
of
agreements
that
may
expose
the
Funds
to
some
risk
of
loss.
These
could
include
recourse
arrangements
for
certain
agreements
related
to
preferred
shares,
which
are
described
elsewhere
in
these
Notes
to
Financial
Statements.
The
risk
of
future
loss
arising
from
such
agreements,
while
not
quantifiable,
is
expected
to
be
remote.
As
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
the
Funds
did
not
have
any
unfunded
commitments
other
than
those
disclosed
in
the
Notes
to
Financial
Statements.
From
time
to
time,
the
Funds
may
be
a
party
to
certain
legal
proceedings
in
the
ordinary
course
of
business,
including
proceedings
relating
to
the
enforcement
of
the
Funds' rights
under
contracts.
As
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
management
has
determined
that
any
legal
proceeding(s)
the
Funds
are
subject
to,
including
those
described
within
this
report,
are
unlikely
to
have
a
material
impact
to
any
of
the
Funds’
financial
statements.

Borrowings
Arrangements
and
Reverse
Repurchase
Agreements
Borrowings:
Each
Fund
entered
into
a
borrowing
arrangement
(“Borrowings”)
as
a
means
of
leverage.
As
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
each
Fund’s
maximum
commitment
amount
under
these
Borrowings
is
as
follows:
As
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
each
Fund’s
outstanding
balance
on
its
Borrowings
was
as
follows:
For
JFR,
interest
is
charged
at
a
rate
equal
to
1-Month
Term
SOFR
plus
0.95%.
JFR
accrues
0.15%
per
annum
on
the
undrawn
balance
if
the
undrawn
portion
of
the
Borrowings
on
a
particular
day
is
more
than
the
maximum
commitment
amount.
Interest
is
charged
on
the
Borrowings
at
a
rate
per
annum
equal
to
the
daily
SOFR
plus
1.10%
for
JQC
and
the
Fund
accrues
1.10%
per
annum
on
any
positive
difference
between
90%
of
the
maximum
commitment
amount
and
the
daily
drawn
amount
For
JPC
and
JPI
funds,
interest
is
charged
on
these
Borrowings
at
OBFR
(“Overnight
Bank
Funding
Rate”)
plus
0.85%
per
annum
on
the
amounts
borrowed.
For
NPFD,
interest
is
charged
on
these
Borrowings
at
OBFR
plus
0.75%
per
annum
on
the
amounts
borrowed
and
0.25%
per
annum
on
the
undrawn
balance
if
the
undrawn
portion
of
the
Borrowings
on
a

is
more
than
25%
of
the
maximum

amount.
During
the
current
fiscal
period,
the
average

rate
on
each
Fund’s
Borrowings
were
as

Other
Borrowings
Information
for
the
Funds:
In
order
to
maintain
these
Borrowings,
the
Funds
must
meet
certain
collateral,
asset
coverage
and
other
requirements.
The
Funds’
borrowings
outstanding
are
fully
secured
by
eligible
securities
held
in
each
Fund’s
portfolio
of
investments.
(“Pledged
Collateral”)
Borrowings
outstanding
are
recognized
as
“Borrowings”
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Interest
expense
incurred
on
the
borrowed
amount
and
undrawn
balance
and
amendment
fees
are
recognized
as
a
component
of
“Interest

allowing
it
to

of
the

the
Pledged

and
(ii)

1⁄3
%
of
the

The
Funds
may
designate
any
Pledged
Collateral
as
ineligible
for
rehypothecation.
The
Funds
may
also
recall
Hypothecated
Securities
on
demand.
The
Funds
also
have
the
right
to
apply
and
set-off
an
amount
equal
to
one-hundred
percent
(100%)
of
the
then-current
fair
market
value
of
such
Pledged
Collateral
against
the
current
Borrowings
under
the
Side
Letter
in
the
event
that
the
prime
brokerage
lender
fails
to
timely
return
the
Pledged
Collateral
and
in
certain
other
circumstances.
In
such
circumstances,
however,
the
Funds
may
not
be
able
to
obtain
replacement
financing
required
to
purchase
replacement
securities
and,
consequently,
the
Funds’
income
generating
potential
may
decrease.
Even
if
a
Fund
is
able
to
obtain
replacement
financing,
it
might
not
be
able
to
purchase
replacement
securities
at
favourable
prices.
The
Funds
will
receive
a
fee
in
connection
with
the
Hypothecated
Securities
(“Rehypothecation
Fees”)
in
addition
to
any
principal,
interest,
dividends
and
other
distributions
paid
on
the
Hypothecated
Securities.
As
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
JPC
and
JPI
each
had
Hypothecated
Securities
as
follows:
JPC
and
JPI
earn
Rehypothecation
Fees,
which
are
recognized
as
“Rehypothecation
income”
on
the
Statement
of
Operations.
During
the
current
fiscal
period,
the
Rehypothecation
Fees
earned
by
each
Fund
were
as
follows
Reverse
Repurchase
Agreements:
During
the
current
fiscal
period,
JQC,
JPC,
JPI
and
NPFD
utilized
reverse
repurchase
agreements
as
a
means
of
leverage.
Each
Fund
may
enter
into
a
reverse
repurchase
agreement
with
brokers,
dealers,
banks
or
other
financial
institutions
that
have
been
determined
by
the
Adviser
to
be
creditworthy.
In
a
reverse
repurchase
agreement,
the
Fund
sells
to
the
counterparty
a
security
that
it
holds
with
a
contemporaneous
agreement
to
repurchase
the
same
security
at
an
agreed-upon
price
and
date,
reflecting
the
interest
rate
effective
for
the
term
of
the
agreement.
It
may
also
be
viewed
as
the
borrowing
of
money
by
the
Fund.
Cash
received
in
exchange
for
securities
delivered,
plus
accrued
interest
payments
to
be
made
by
the
Fund
to
a
counterparty,
are
reflected
as
a
liability
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Interest
payments
made
by
the
Fund
to
counterparties
are
recognized
as
a
component
of
"Interest
expense" on
the
Statement
of
Operations.
In
a
reverse
repurchase
agreement,
the
Fund
retains
the
risk
of
loss
associated
with
the
sold
security. Reverse
repurchase
agreements
also
involve
the
risk
that
the
purchaser
fails
to
return
the
securities
as
agreed
upon,
files
for
bankruptcy
or
becomes
insolvent.
Upon
a
bankruptcy
or
insolvency
of
a
counterparty,
the
Fund
is
considered
to
be
an
unsecured
creditor
with
respect
to
excess
collateral
and
as
such
the
return
of
excess
collateral
may
be
delayed.
As
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
the
Fund’s
outstanding
balances
on
its
reverse
repurchase
agreements

Inter-Fund
Borrowing
and
Lending
Inter-Fund
Borrowing
and
Lending:
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.

Fund
Mergers
The
Mergers
as
previously
described
in
these
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
were
structured
to
qualify
as
tax-free
reorganizations
under
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
for
federal
income
tax
purposes,
and
the
Target
Funds’
shareholders
recognized
no
gain
or
loss
for
federal
income
tax
purposes
as
a
result.
Prior
to
the
closing
of
each
Merger,
the
Target
Funds
distributed
all
of
their
net
investment
income
and
capital
gains,
if
any.
Such
a
distribution
may
be
taxable
to
the
Target
Funds’
shareholders
for
federal
income
tax
purposes.

For
financial
reporting
purposes,
assets
received
and
shares
issued
by
the
Acquiring
Fund
were
recorded
at
fair
value;
however,
the
cost
basis
of
the
investments
received
from
the
Target
Funds
were
carried
forward
to
align
ongoing
reporting
of
the
Acquiring
Fund’s
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
with
amounts
distributable
to
shareholders
for
tax
purposes.

The

shares
outstanding,

immediately

Pro
Forma
Results
of
Operations:
The
beginning
of
JPS
and
JPT’s
current
fiscal
period
was
August
1,
2023.
Assuming
the
Mergers
had
been
completed
on
August
1,
2023,
the
beginning
of
the
Acquiring
Fund’s
current
fiscal
period,
the
pro
forma
results
of
operations
for
the
Fund’s
current
fiscal
period,
are
as
follows:
Because
the
combined
investment
portfolio
of
each
Merger
has
been
managed
as
a
single
integrated
portfolio
since
each
Merger
was
completed,
it
is
not
practicable
to
separate
the
amounts
of
revenue
and
earnings
of
each
Target
Fund
that
have
been
included
in
the
Statement
of
Operations
of
the
Acquiring
Fund
since
each
Merger
was
consummated.
Cost
and
Expenses:
In
connection
with
each
Merger,
the
Acquiring
Fund
incurred
certain
associated
costs
and
expenses.
Such
amounts
were
included
as
components
of
“Accrued
other
expenses”
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
and
“Merger

on

securities
such
as
those
held
by
the
Fund,
are
subject
to
market
risk,
credit
risk,
interest
rate
risk,
derivatives
risk,
liquidity
risk,
and
income
risk.
As
interest
rates
rise,
bond
prices
fall.
Lower
credit
debt
securities
may
be
more
likely
to
fail
to
make
timely
interest
or
principal
payments.
Leverage
increases
return
volatility
and
magnifies
the
Fund’s
potential
return
and
its
risks;
there
is
no
guarantee
a
fund’s
leverage
strategy
will
be
successful.
Certain
types
of
preferred,
hybrid
or
debt
securities
with
special
loss
absorption
provisions,
such
as
contingent
capital
securities
(CoCos),
may
be
or
become
so
subordinated
that
they
present
risks
equivalent
to,
or
in
some
cases
even
greater
than,
the
same
company’s
common
stock.
These
loss
absorption
features
work
to
the
benefit
of
the
security
issuer,
not
the
investor
(this
fund).
For
these
and
other
risks,
such
as
concentration
risk,

Fund’s

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.
Collateralized
Loan
Obligation
(CLO):
A
security
backed
by
a
pool
of
debt,
often
low
rated
corporate
loans.
Collateralized
loan
obligations
(CLOs)
are
similar
to
collateralized
mortgage
obligations,
except
for
the
different
type
of
underlying
loan.
Contingent
Capital
Securities
(
CoCos
):
CoCos
are
debt
or
capital
securities
of
primarily
non-U.S.
issuers
with
loss
absorption
contingency
mechanisms
built
into
the
terms
of
the
security,
for
example
a
mandatory
conversion
into
common
stock
of
the
issuer,
or
a
principal
write-down,
which
if
triggered
would
likely
cause
the
CoCo
investment
to
lose
value.
Loss
absorption
mechanisms
would
become
effective
upon
the
occurrence
of
a
specified
contingency
event,
or
at
the
discretion
of
a
regulatory
body.
Specified
contingency
events,
as
identified
in
the
CoCo’s
governing
documents,
usually
reference
a
decline
in
the
issuer’s
capital
below
a
specified
threshold
level,
and/or
certain
regulatory
events.
A
loss
absorption
contingency
event
for
CoCos
would
likely
be
the
result
of,
or
related
to,
the
deterioration
of
the
issuer’s
financial
condition
and/or
its
status
as
a
going
concern.
In
such
a
case,
with
respect
to
CoCos
that
provide
for
conversion
into
common
stock
upon
the
occurrence
of
the
contingency
event,
the
market
price
of
the
issuer’s
common
stock
received
by
the
Acquiring
Fund
will
have
likely
declined,
perhaps
substantially,
and
may
continue
to
decline
after
conversion.
CoCos
rated
below
investment
grade
should
be
considered
high
yield
securities,
or
“junk,”
but
often
are
issued
by
entities
whose
more
senior
securities
are
rated
investment
grade.
CoCos
are
a
relatively
new
type
of
security;
and
there
is
a
risk
that
CoCo
security
issuers
may
suffer
the
sort
of
future
financial
distress
that
could
materially
increase
the
likelihood
(or
the
market’s
perception
of
the
likelihood)
that
an
automatic
write-down
or
conversion
event
on
those
issuers’
CoCoswill
occur.
Additionally,
the
trading
behavior
of
a
given
issuer’s
CoCo
may
be
strongly
impacted
by
the
trading
behavior
of
other
issuers’
CoCos,
such
that
negative
information
from
an
unrelated
CoCo
security
may
cause
a
decline
in
value
of
one
or
more
CoCos
held
by
the
Fund.
Accordingly,
the
trading
behavior
of
CoCos
may
not
follow
the
trading
behavior
of
other
types
of
debt
and
preferred
securities.
Despite
these
concerns,
the
prospective
reward
vs.
risk
characteristics
of
at
least
certain
CoCos
may
be
very
attractive
relative
to
other
fixed-income
alternatives.
Duration:
Duration
is
a
measure
of
the
expected
period
over
which
a
bond’s
principal
and
interest
will
be
paid,
and
consequently
is
a
measure
of
the
sensitivity
of
a
bond’s
or
bond
fund’s
value
to
changes
when
market
interest
rates
change.
Generally,
the
longer
a
bond’s
or
fund’s
duration,
the
more
the
price
of
the
bond
or
fund
will
change
as
interest
rates
change.
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.
