seek
to
offer
attractive
cash
flow
to
their
shareholders,
by
converting
the
expected
long-term
total
return
potential
of
the
Funds’
portfolio
of
investments
into
regular
quarterly
distributions.
Following
is
a
discussion
of
the
Managed
Distribution
Policy
the
Funds
use
to
achieve
this.
Each
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
Funds’
regular
common
share
distributions
(presently
$0.2365,
$0.2867,
$0.2940,
$0.4200,
$0.3200
per
share,
respectively)
may
be
derived
from
a
variety
of
sources,
including:
Net
investment
income
consisting
of
regular
interest
and
dividends
Realized
capital
gains
or,
Possibly,
returns
of
capital
representing
in
certain
cases
unrealized
capital
appreciation.
Such
distributions
are
sometimes
referred
to
as
“managed
distributions.”
Each
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
each
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
each
Fund
invests.
As
portfolio
and
market
conditions
change,
the
distribution
amount
and
distribution
rate
on
the
Common
Shares
under
the
Funds’
Managed
Distribution
Policy
could
change.
When
it
pays
a
distribution,
each
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
Funds’
investment
performance
from
the
amount
of
this
distribution
or
from
the
terms
of
the
Funds’
Managed
Distribution
Policy.
The
Funds’
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
Funds’
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
each
Fund
to
terminate
its
Managed
Distribution
Policy.

DISTRIBUTION
INFORMATION
The
following
19(a)
Notice
presents
the
Funds’
most
current
distribution
information
as
of
May
31,
2024
as
required
by
certain
exempted
regulatory
relief
the
Funds
have
received.
Because
the
ultimate
tax
character
of
your
distributions
depends
on
the
Funds’
performance
for
its
entire
fiscal
year
(which
is
the
calendar
year
for
the
Funds)
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
Funds’
IRS
Form
1099
statement.
Each
Fund
makes
regular
cash
distributions
to
shareholders
of
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
each
Fund’s
investment
strategy
through
regular
distributions
(a
“Managed
Distribution
Program”).
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.
COMMON
SHARE
DISTRIBUTION
INFORMATION
–
AS
OF
MAY
31,
2024
This
notice
provides
shareholders
with
information
regarding
fund
distributions,
as
required
by
current
securities
laws.
You
should
not
draw
any
conclusions
about
the
Funds’
investment
performance
from
the
amount
of
this
distribution
or
from
the
terms
of
the
Funds’
Managed
Distribution
Policy.
The
following
table
provides
estimates
of
the
Funds’
distribution
sources,
reflecting
year-to-date
cumulative
experience
through
the
month-end
prior
to
the
latest
distribution.
The
Funds
attribute
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
Funds’
investment
experience
during
the
remainder
of
its
fiscal
year
and
may
be
subject
to
changes
based
on
tax
regulations.
Each
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.
More
details
about
the
Funds’
distributions
and
the
basis
for
these
estimates
are
available
on
www.nuveen.com/cef.

Based

Total
Return
Based
on
Common
Share
NAV
is
the
combination
of
changes
in
common
share
NAV,
reinvested
dividend
income
at
Common
Share
NAV
and
reinvested
capital
gains
distributions
at
NAV,
if
any.
The
last
dividend
declared
in
the
period,
which
is
typically
paid
on
the
first
business
day
of
the
following
month,
is
assumed
to
be
reinvested
at
the
ending
NAV.
The
actual
reinvest
price
for
the
last
dividend
declared
in
the
period
may
often
be
based
on
the
Fund’s
market
price
(and
not
its
NAV),
and
therefore
may
be
different
from
the
price
used
in
the
calculation.
Total
returns
are
not
annualized.
Total
Return
Based
on
Common
Share
Price
is
the
combination
of
changes
in
the
market
price
per
share
and
the
effect
of
reinvested
dividend
income
and
reinvested
capital
gains
distributions,
if
any,
at
the
average
price
paid
per
share
at
the
time
of
reinvestment.
The
last
dividend
declared
in
the
period,
which
is
typically
paid
on
the
first
business
day
of
the
following
month,
is
assumed
to
be
reinvested
at
the
ending
market
price.
The
actual
reinvestment
for
the
last
dividend
declared
in
the
period
may
take
place
over
several
days,
and
in
some
instances
may
not
be
based
on
the
market
price,
so
the
actual
reinvestment
price
may
be
different
from
the
price

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
Funds'
Board
of
Trustees
(the
"Board")
amended
the
Fund’s
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
Fund's
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.
On
November
30,
2023,
the
U.S.
Court
of
Appeals
for
the
Second
Circuit
upheld
the
opinion
of
the
District
Court.
On
February
28,
2024,
the
Board
of
the
Funds
Amended
and
Restated
By-Laws
to
eliminate
the
“control
share”
provisions.

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.
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
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
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

and
the
difference
between
the
amounts
of

as
a
component
of
“Net

rates
and
changes
in
foreign

as
a
component
of
“Change
in

translations”
on
the
Statement
of
Operations,
when
applicable.
The
unrealized
gains
and
losses
resulting
from
changes
in
foreign
exchange
rates
associated
with
investments
in

are
recognized
as
a
component
of
the
respective
derivative’s
related
“Change
in
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)”
on
the
Statement
of
Operations,
when
applicable.
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.
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
date
and
recorded
at
fair
value.
Interest
income
is
recorded
on
an
accrual
basis.
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.
Securities
lending
income
is
comprised
of
fees
earned
from
borrowers
and
income
earned
on
cash
collateral
investments.
Netting
Agreements:
In
the
ordinary
course
of
business,
the
Funds
may
enter
into
transactions
subject
to
enforceable 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.

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
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
(Unaudited)
(continued)
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.
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.
Purchased
and
written
options
traded
and
listed
on
a
national
market
or
exchange
are
valued
at
the
mean
of
the
closing
bid
and
asked
prices
and
are
generally
classified
as
Level
1.
Over-the-counter
(“OTC”)
options
are
marked-to-market
daily
based
upon
a
price
supplied
by
a
pricing
service.
OTC
options
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.
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
value
them:

Portfolio
Securities
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

period,
and
the
collateral
delivered
related
to
those
repurchase
agreements.

Securities
Lending:
Each
Fund
may
lend
securities
representing
up
to
one-third
of
the
value
of
its
total
assets
to
broker-dealers,
banks,
and
other
institutions
in
order
to
generate
additional
income.
When
loaning
securities, a
Fund
retains
the
benefits
of
owning
the
securities,
including
the
economic
equivalent
of
dividends
or
interest
generated
by
the
security.
The
loans
are
continuous,
can
be
recalled
at
any
time,
and
have
no
set
maturity.
The
Funds’
custodian,
State
Street
Bank
and
Trust
Company,
serves
as
the
securities
lending
agent
(the
“Agent”).
When
a
Fund
loans
its
portfolio
securities,
it
will
receive,
at
the
inception
of
each
loan,
cash
collateral
equal
to
an
amount
not
less
than
100%
of
the
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities.
The
actual
percentage
of
the
cash
collateral
will
vary
depending
upon
the
asset
type
of
the
loaned
securities.
Collateral
for
the
loaned
securities
is
invested
in
a
government
money
market
vehicle
maintained
by
the
Agent,
which
is
subject
to
the
requirements
of
Rule
2a-7
under
the
1940
Act.
The
value
of
the
loaned
securities
and
the
liability
to
return
the
cash
collateral
received
are
recognized
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
If
the
market
value
of
the
loaned
securities
increases,
the
borrower
must
furnish
additional
collateral
to
the
Fund,
which
is
also
recognized
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Securities
out
on
loan
are
subject
to
termination
at
any
time
at
the
option
of
the
borrower
or
the
Fund.
Upon
termination,
the
borrower
is
required
to
return
to
the
Fund
securities
identical
to
the
securities
loaned.
During
the
term
of
the
loan,
the
Fund
bears
the
market
risk
with
respect
to
the
investment
of
collateral
and
the
risk
that
the
Agent
may
default
on
its
contractual
obligations
to
the
Fund.
The
Agent
bears
the
risk
that
the
borrower
may
default
on
its
obligation
to
return
the
loaned
securities
as
the
Agent
is
contractually
obligated
to
indemnify
the
Fund
if
at
the
time
of
a
default
by
a
borrower
some
or
all
of
the
loan
securities
have
not
been
returned.
Securities
lending
income
recognized
by
a
Fund
consists
of
earnings
on
invested
collateral
and
lending
fees,
net
of
any
rebates
to
the
borrower
and
compensation
to
the
Agent.
Such
income
is
recognized
on
the
Statement
of
Operations.
As
of
the
end
of
the
current
reporting
period,
the
total
value
of
the
loaned
securities
and

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.
Options
Transactions:
The
Funds
may
purchase
(buy)
or
write
(sell)
put
and
call
options
on
specific
securities
(including
groups
or
"baskets"
of
specific
securities),
interest
rates,
stock
indices
and/or
bond
indices
(each
a
“financial
instrument”).
Options
can
be
settled
either
directly
with
the
counterparty
(over
the
counter)
or
through
a
central
clearing
house
(exchange
traded).
Call
and
put
options
give
the
holder
the
right,
in
return
for
a
premium
paid,
to
purchase
or
sell,
respectively,
a
financial
instrument
at
a
specified
exercise
price
at
any
time
during
the
period
of
the
option.
When
a
Fund
purchases
an
option,
an
amount
equal
to
the
premium
paid
(the
premium
plus
commission)
is
recognized
as
an
asset
on
the
Statement
of
Asset
and
Liabilities.
When
a
Fund
writes
an
option,
an
amount
equal
to
the
net
premium
received
(the
premium
less
commission)
is
recognized
as
a
liability
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
and
is
subsequently
adjusted
to
reflect
the
current
value
of
the
written
option
until
the
option
is
exercised
or
expires
or
the
Fund
enters
into
a
closing
purchase
transaction.
The
changes
in
the
value
of
options
purchased
and/or
written
during
the
fiscal
period
are
recognized
as
in
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
on
the

of

When
an
option
is
exercised
or
a
closing
purchase
transaction
is
entered
into,
the
difference
between
the
premium
and
the
amount
received
or
paid
in
a
closing
transaction
is
recognized
as
a
realized
gain
or
loss
on
the
Statement
of
Operations.
The
market
risk
associated
with
purchasing
options
is
limited
to
the
premium
paid.
The
Fund,
as
writer
of
an
option,
has
no
control
over
whether
the
underlying
instrument
may
be
sold
(called)
or
purchased
(put)
and
as
a
result
bears
the
risk
of
an
unfavorable
change
in
the
market
value
of
the
instrument
underlying
the
written
option.
There
is
also
the
risk
the
Fund
may
not
be
able
to
enter
into
a
closing
transaction
because
of
an
illiquid
market.

Notes

Financial
Statements
(Unaudited)
(continued)
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
Shelf
Programs
and
Offering
Costs:
The
following
Funds
have
filed
a
registration
statement
with
the Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
("SEC") authorizing each
Fund
to
issue
additional
common
shares
through
one
or
more
equity
shelf
programs
(“Shelf
Offering”),
which
became
effective
with
the
SEC
during
prior
fiscal
periods.
Under
this
Shelf
Offering,
the
Funds,
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 each
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
to
the
registration
statement
has
been
filed
with
the
SEC.

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

of
the
reporting
period,
the

investment
advisory
and
administrative
services

Gateway
and
NAM
are
compensated
for
their
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

June
01,2023
through
April
30,2024,
the
annual
complex-level
fee,
payable
monthly,
for
each

was
calculated
according
to
the
following
schedule:
*
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

Nuveen
funds
that
were
reorganized
into
funds
advised
by
an

The
complex-level
fee
is
calculated
based
upon
the
aggregate
daily
“eligible
assets”
of
all
Nuveen-branded
closed-end
funds
and
Nuveen
branded
open-end
funds
(“Nuveen
Mutual
Funds”).
Except
as
described
below,
eligible
assets
include
the
assets
of
all
Nuveen-branded
closed-end
funds
and
Nuveen
Mutual
Funds
organized
in
the
United
States.
Eligible
assets
do
not
include
the
net
assets
of:
Nuveen
fund-of-funds,
Nuveen
money
market
funds,
Nuveen
index
funds,
Nuveen
Large
Cap
Responsible
Equity
Fund
or
Nuveen
Life
Large
Cap
Responsible

Fund.
In
addition,
eligible
assets
include
a
fixed
percentage
of
the
aggregate
net
assets
of
the
active
equity
and
fixed
income
Nuveen
Mutual
Funds
advised
by
the
Adviser’s
affiliate,
Teachers
Advisors,
LLC
(except
those
identified
above).
The
fixed
percentage
will
increase
annually
until
May
1,
2033,
at
which
time
eligible
assets
will
include
all
of
the
aggregate
net
assets
of
the
active
equity
and
fixed
income
Nuveen
Mutual
Funds
advised
by
Teachers
Advisors,
LLC
(except
those
identified
above).
Eligible
assets
include
closed-end
fund
assets
managed
by
the
Adviser
that
are
attributable
to
financial
leverage.
For
these
purposes,
financial
leverage
includes
the
closed-end
funds’
use
of
preferred
stock
and
borrowings
and
certain
investments
in
the
residual
interest
certificates
(also
called
inverse
floating

(TOB)
trusts,

of
assets
held
by
a
TOB
trust
that
has
been
effectively
financed
by
the
trust’s
issuance
of
floating

securities,
subject
to
an
agreement
by
the
Adviser
as
to
certain
funds
to
limit
the
amount
of
such
assets
for
determining
eligible
assets
in
certain
circumstances.
As
of
May
31,
2024,
the
annual
complex-level
fee
for
each
Fund
was
as
follows:
Other
Transactions
with
Affiliates:
Each
Fund
is
permitted
to
purchase
or
sell
securities
from
or
to
certain
other
funds
or
accounts
managed
by
the
Sub-Adviser
or
by
an
affiliate
of
the
Adviser
(each
an
, “Affiliated
Entity”)
under
specified
conditions
outlined
in
procedures
adopted
by
the
Board
("cross-trade").
These
procedures
have
been
designed
to
ensure
that
any
cross-trade
of
securities
by
the
Fund
from
or
to
an
Affiliated
Entity
by
virtue
of
having
a
common
investment
adviser
(or
affiliated
investment
adviser),
common
officer
and/or
common
trustee
complies
with
Rule
17a-7
under
the
1940
Act.
These
transactions
are
effected
at
the
current
market
price
(as
provided
by
an
independent
pricing
service)
without
incurring
broker
commissions.
During
the
current
fiscal
period,
the
Funds
engaged
in
cross-trades
pursuant
to
these
procedures
as
follows:

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;

Notes
to
Financial
Statements
(Unaudited)
(continued)
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.

The
Board
Members
are
not
“interested
persons”
(as
defined
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(the
“1940
Act”))
and,
therefore,
the
Board
is
deemed
to
be
comprised
of
all
disinterested
Board
Members.
References
to
the
Board
and
the
Board
Members
are
interchangeable.
Below
is
a
summary
of
the
annual
review
process
the
Board
undertook
related
to
its
most
recent
renewal
of
each
Investment
Management
Agreement
and
Sub-Advisory
Agreement
on
behalf
of
the
applicable
Fund.
In
accordance
with
applicable
law,
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
NFAL
and
the
Sub-Advisers
are
collectively,
the
“Fund
Advisers”
and
each
a
“Fund
Adviser.”
In
addition,
the
fund
complex
consists
of
the
group
of
funds
advised
by
NFAL
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
“Nuveen
funds”)
and
the
group
of
funds
advised
by
Teachers
Advisors,
LLC
(“TAL”
and
such
funds
are
collectively,
the
“TC
funds”).
For
clarity,
NFAL
serves
as
Adviser
to
the
Nuveen
funds,
including
the
Funds,
and
TAL
serves
as
“Adviser”
to
the
TC
funds.
The
Board
Members
considered
that
the
prior
separate
boards
of
the
TC
funds
and
Nuveen
funds
were
consolidated
effective
in
January
2024.
Accordingly,
at
the
Meeting,
the
Board
Members
considered
the
review
of
the
advisory
agreements
for
the
Nuveen
funds
as
well
as
reviewed
the
investment
management
agreements
for
the
TC
funds.
Depending
on
the
appropriate
context,
references
to
“the
Adviser”
may
be
to
NFAL
with
respect
to
the
Nuveen
funds
and/or
TAL
with
respect
to
the
TC
funds.
The
Board
Members
considered
the
review
of
the
advisory
agreements
of
the
Nuveen
funds
and
the
TC
funds
to
be
an
ongoing
process.
The
Board
Members
therefore
employed
the
accumulated
information,
knowledge
and
experience
they
had
gained
during
their
tenure
on
the
respective
board
of
the
TC
funds
or
Nuveen
funds
(as
the
case
may
be)
governing
the
applicable
funds
and
working
with
the
respective
investment
advisers
and
sub-
advisers,
as
applicable,
in
their
review
of
the
advisory
agreements
for
the
fund
complex.
During
the
course
of
the
year
prior
to
the
Meeting,
the
Board
and/or
its
committees
received
a
wide
variety
of
materials
that
covered
a
range
of
topics
relevant
to
the
Board’s
annual
consideration
of
the
renewal
of
the
advisory
agreements,
including
reports
on
fund
investment
results
over
various
periods;
product
initiatives
for
various
funds;
fund
expenses;
compliance,
regulatory
and
risk
management
matters;
trading
practices,
including
soft
dollar
arrangements
(as
applicable);
the
liquidity
and
derivatives
risk
management
programs;
management
of
distributions;
valuation
of
securities;
payments
to
financial
intermediaries
(as
applicable);
securities
lending
(as
applicable);
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
met
periodically
with
and/or
received
presentations
by
key
investment
professionals
managing
a
fund’s
portfolio.
In
particular,
at
the
Board
meeting
held
on
February
27-29,
2024
(the
“February
Meeting”),
the
Board
and/or
its
Investment
Committee
received
the
annual
performance
review
of
the
funds
as
described
in
further
detail
below.
The
presentations,
discussions
and
meetings
throughout
the
year
also
provide
a
means
for
the
Board
to
evaluate
and
consider
the
level,
breadth
and
quality
of
services
provided
by
the
Adviser
and
sub-advisers,
as
applicable,
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,
the
Board,
through
its
independent
legal
counsel,
requested
and
received
extensive
materials
and
information
prepared
specifically
for
its
review
of
the
advisory
agreements.
The
materials
provided
at
the
Meeting
and/or
prior
meetings
covered
a
wide
range
of
matters
including,
but
not
limited
to,
a
description
of
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
by
the
Fund
Advisers;
the
consolidation
of
the
Nuveen
fund
family
and
TC
fund
family;
a
review
of
product
actions
advanced
in
2023
for
the
benefit
of
particular
funds
and/or
the
fund
complex;
a
review
of
each
sub-adviser,
if
applicable,
and/or
applicable
investment
team;
an
analysis
of
fund
performance
with
a
focus
on
funds
considered
to
have
met
certain
challenged
performance
measurements;
an
analysis
of
the
fees
and
expense
ratios
of
the
funds
with
a
focus
on
funds
considered
to
have
certain
expense
characteristics;
a
list
of
management
fee
and,
if
applicable,
sub-advisory
fee
schedules;
a
description
of
portfolio
manager
compensation;
an
overview
of
the
primary
and
secondary
markets
for
the
Nuveen
closed-end
funds
(including,
among
other
things,
premium
or
discount
data
and
commentary
regarding
the
leverage
management,
share
repurchase
and
shelf
offering
programs
during
2023);
a
description
of
the
profitability
and/or
financial
data
of
Nuveen,
TAL
and
the
sub-advisers;
and
a
description
of
indirect
benefits
received
by
the
Adviser
and
the
sub-advisers
as
a
result
of
their
relationships
with
the
funds,
as
applicable.
The
Board
also
considered
information
provided
by
Broadridge
Financial
Solutions,
Inc.
(“Broadridge”),
an
independent
provider
of
investment
company
data,
comparing
fee
and
expense
levels
of
each
respective
fund
to
those
of
a
peer
universe.
The
information
prepared
specifically
for
the
annual
review
supplemented
the
information
provided
to
the
Board
and
its
committees
and
the
evaluations
of
the
funds
by
the
Board
and
its
committees
during
the
year.
The
Board’s
review
of
the
advisory
agreements
for
the
fund
complex
is
based
on
all
the
information
provided
to
the
Board
and
its
committees
over
time.
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
Board
Members.
As
part
of
their
review,
the
Board
Members
and
independent
legal
counsel
met
by
videoconference
in
executive
session
on
April
10,
2024
(the
“April
Executive
Session”)
to
review
and
discuss
materials
provided
in
connection
with
their
annual
review
of
the
advisory
agreements
for
the
fund
complex.
After
reviewing
this
information,
the
Board
Members
requested,
directly
or
through
independent
legal
counsel,
additional
information,
and
the
Board
subsequently
reviewed
and
discussed
the
responses
to
these
follow-up
questions
and
requests.
The
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
of
management
were
present.
In
connection
with
their
annual
review,
the
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
decisions
to
renew
each
Advisory
Agreement
were
not
based
on
a
single
identified
factor,
but
rather
each
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
annual
review
process.
The
contractual
arrangements
may
reflect
the
results
of
prior
year(s)
of
review,
negotiation
and
information
provided
in
connection
with
the
Board’s
annual
review
of
the
funds’
advisory
arrangements
and
oversight
of
the
funds.
Each
Board
Member
may
have
attributed
different
levels
of
importance
to
the
various
factors
and
information
considered
in
connection
with
the
annual
review
process
and
may
have
placed
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.
A.
Nature,
Extent
and
Quality
of
Services
In
evaluating
the
renewal
of
the
Advisory
Agreements,
the
Board
Members
received
and
considered
information
regarding
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
applicable
Fund
Adviser’s
services
provided
to
each
respective
Fund
with
particular
focus
on
the
services
and
enhancements
or
changes
to
such
services
provided
during
the
last
year.
The
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
roles
of
NFAL
and
the
Sub-Advisers
in
providing
services
to
the
applicable
Fund(s).
The
Board
considered
that
the
Adviser
provides
a
wide
array
of
management,
oversight
and
other
services
to
manage
and
operate
the
applicable
funds.
The
Board
considered
the
Adviser’s
and
its
affiliates’
dedication
of
resources,
time,
people
and
capital
as
well
as
continual
program
of
improvement
and
innovation
aimed
at
enhancing
the
funds
and
fund
complex
for
investors
and
meeting
the
needs
of
an
increasingly
complex
regulatory
environment.
In
particular,
over
the
past
several
years,
the
Board
considered
the
significant
resources,
both
financial
and
personnel,
the
Adviser
and
its
affiliates
have
committed
in
working
to
consolidate
the
Nuveen
fund
family
and
TC
fund
family
under
one
centralized
umbrella.
The
Board
considered
that
the
organizational
changes
in
bringing
together
Nuveen,
its
affiliates
and
TIAA’s
(as
defined
below)
asset
management
businesses,
consolidating
the
Nuveen
and
TC
fund
families
and
other
initiatives
were
anticipated
to
provide
various
benefits
for
the
funds
through,
among
other
things,
enhanced
operating
efficiencies,
centralized
investment
leadership
and
a
centralized
shared
resources
and
support
model.
As
part
of
these
efforts,
the
boards
of
the
TC
funds
and
Nuveen
funds
were
consolidated
effective
in
January
2024.
In
addition,
in
conjunction
with
these
consolidation
efforts,
the
Board
approved
at
the
Meeting
changes
to
fee
and
breakpoint
structures
(as
applicable)
that
could
provide
cost
savings
to
participating
funds,
as
described
in
further
detail
below.
The
Board
also
reviewed
information
regarding
other
product
actions
undertaken
or
continued
by
management
in
the
2023
calendar
year
in
seeking
to
improve
the
effectiveness
of
the
organization,
the
product
line-up
as
well
as
particular
funds
through,
among
other
things,
continuing
to
review
and
optimize
the
product
line
and
gaining
efficiencies
through
mergers
and
liquidations;
reviewing
and
updating
investment
policies
and
benchmarks;
implementing
fee
waivers
and/or
expense
cap
changes
for
certain
funds;
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
considered.
In
its
review,
the
Board
considered
that
the
funds
operated
in
a
highly
regulated
industry
and
the
scope
and
complexity
of
the
services
and
resources
that
the
Adviser
and
its
affiliates
must
provide
to
manage
and
operate
the
applicable
funds
have
expanded
over
the
years
as
a
result
of,
among
other
things,
regulatory,
market
and
other
developments,
such
as
the
adoption
of
the
tailored
shareholder
report
or
the
revised
fund
name
rule.
In
considering
the
breadth
and
quality
of
services
the
Adviser
and
its
various
teams
provide,
the
Board
considered
that
the
Adviser
provides
investment
advisory
services.
With
respect
to
the
Nuveen
funds,
such
funds
utilize
sub-advisers
to
manage
the
portfolios
of
the
funds
subject
to
the
supervision
of
NFAL.
Accordingly,
the
Board
considered
that
NFAL
and
its
affiliates,
among
other
things,
oversee
and
review
the
performance
of
the
respective
sub-adviser
and
its
investment
team(s);
evaluate
Nuveen
fund
performance
and
market
conditions;
evaluate
investment
strategies
and
recommend
changes
thereto;
set
and
manage
distributions
consistent
with
the
respective
Nuveen
fund’s
product
design;
oversee
trade
execution
and,
as
applicable,
securities
lending;
evaluate
investment
risks;
and
manage
valuation
matters.
With
respect
to
closed-end
Nuveen
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
considered
that,
with
respect
to
such
Statement
Regarding
Basis
for
Approval
of
Investment
Advisory
Contract
(Unaudited)
(continued)
funds,
management
actively
monitors
any
discount
from
net
asset
value
per
share
at
which
the
respective
Nuveen
fund’s
common
stock
trades
and
evaluates
potential
avenues
to
mitigate
the
discount,
including
evaluating
the
level
of
distributions
that
the
fund
pays.
The
Board
further
considered
that
over
the
course
of
the
2023
calendar
year,
the
Nuveen
global
public
product
team
which
supports
the
funds
in
the
fund
complex
and
their
shareholders
assessed
the
investment
personnel
across
the
investment
leadership
teams
which
resulted
in
additions
or
other
modifications
to
the
portfolio
management
teams
of
various
funds.
The
Board
also
reviewed
a
description
of
the
compensation
structure
applicable
to
certain
portfolio
managers.
In
addition
to
the
above
investment
advisory
services,
the
Board
further
considered
the
extensive
compliance,
regulatory,
administrative
and
other
services
the
Adviser
and
its
various
teams
or
affiliates
provide
to
manage
and
operate
the
applicable
funds.
Given
the
highly
regulated
industry
in
which
the
funds
operate,
the
Board
considered
the
breadth
of
the
Adviser’s
compliance
program
and
related
policies
and
procedures.
The
Board
reviewed
various
initiatives
the
Adviser’s
compliance
team
undertook
or
continued
in
2023,
in
part,
to
address
new
regulatory
requirements,
support
international
business
growth
and
product
development,
enhance
international
trading
capabilities,
enhance
monitoring
capabilities
in
light
of
the
new
regulatory
requirements
and
guidance
and
maintain
a
comprehensive
training
program.
The
Board
further
considered,
among
other
things,
that
other
non-advisory
services
provided
included,
among
other
things,
board
support
and
reporting;
establishing
and
reviewing
the
services
provided
by
other
fund
service
providers
(such
as
a
fund’s
custodian,
accountant,
and
transfer
agent);
risk
management,
including
reviews
of
the
liquidity
risk
management
and

advocacy;
and
cybersecurity,
business
continuity
and

recovery
planning
and
testing.
Aside
from
the
services
provided,
the
Board
considered
the
financial
resources
of
the
Adviser
and/or
its
affiliates
and
their
willingness
to
make
investments
in
the
technology,
personnel
and
infrastructure
to
support
the
funds,
including
to
enhance
global
talent,
middle
office
systems,
software
and
international
and
internal
capabilities.
The
Board
considered
the
access
provided
by
the
Adviser
and
its
affiliates
to
a
seed
capital
budget
to
support
new
or
existing
funds
and/or
facilitate
changes
for
a
respective
fund.
The
Board
considered
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
funds
including
during
stressed
times.
The
Board
considered
the
overall
reputation
and
capabilities
of
the
Adviser
and
its
affiliates
and
the
Adviser’s
continuing
commitment
to
provide
high
quality
services.
In
its
review,
the
Board
also
considered
the
significant
risks
borne
by
the
Adviser
and
its
affiliates
in
connection
with
their
services
to
the
applicable
funds,
including
entrepreneurial
risks
in
sponsoring
and
supporting
new
funds
and
smaller
funds
and
ongoing
risks
with
managing
the
funds,
such
as
investment,
operational,
reputational,
regulatory,
compliance
and
litigation
risks.
With
respect
to
the
Funds,
the
Board
considered
the
division
of
responsibilities
between
NFAL
and
the
Sub-Advisers
and
considered
that
each
Sub-Adviser
and
its
investment
personnel
generally
are
responsible
for
the
management
of
each
applicable
Fund’s
portfolio
under
the
oversight
of
NFAL
and
the
Board.
The
Board
considered
an
analysis
of
each
Sub-Adviser
provided
by
NFAL
which
included,
among
other
things,
a
summary
of
changes
in
the
leadership
teams
and/or
portfolio
manager
teams;
the
performance
of
the
Nuveen
funds
sub-advised
by
the
Sub-Adviser
over
various
periods
of
time;
and
data
reflecting
product
changes
(if
any)
taken
with
respect
to
certain
Nuveen
funds.
The
Board
considered
that
NFAL
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
Funds.
In
this
regard,
the
Board
and/or
its
Investment
Committee
reviewed,
among
other
things,
performance
of
the
Funds
over
the
quarter,
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
ending
December 31,
2023
and
March 31,
2024.
The
Board
performed
its
annual
review
of
fund
performance
at
its
February
Meeting
and
an
additional
review
at
the
April
Executive
Session
and
also
reviewed
and
discussed
performance
data
at
its
other
regularly
scheduled
quarterly
meetings
throughout
the
year.
The
Board
therefore
took
into
account
the
performance
data,
presentations
and
discussions
(written
and
oral)
that
were
provided
at
the
Meeting
and
in
prior
meetings
over
time
in
evaluating
fund
performance,
including
management’s
analysis
of
a
fund’s
performance
with
particular
focus
on
funds
that
met
certain
challenged
performance
measurements
as
determined
pursuant
to
a
methodology
approved
by
the
Board
or
additional
measurements
as
determined
by
management’s
investment
analysts.
As
various
Nuveen
funds
have
modified
their
portfolio
teams
and/or
made
significant
changes
to
their
portfolio
strategies
over
time,
the
Board
reviewed,
among
other
things,
certain
tracking
performance
data
over
specific
periods
comparing
performance
before
and
after
such
changes.
With
respect
to
certain
Nuveen
option
overwrite
funds,
including
the
S&P
Dynamic
Overwrite
Fund,
Dow
Dynamic
Overwrite
Fund,
Nasdaq
Dynamic
Overwrite
Fund
and
Core
Equity
Alpha
Fund,
the
Board
considered,
as
applicable,
the
portfolio
management
and/or
investment
strategy
changes
adopted
by
such
Funds
and
considered
the
respective
Fund’s
performance
relative
to
its
blended
benchmark
as
well
as
the
performance
attributed
to
the
equity
portion
and
the
options
portion
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio
relative
to
their
respective
benchmark
for
the
trailing
one-year
period
ended
December 31,
2023.
In
addition,
with
respect
to
the
S&P
Buy-Write
Fund,
the
Board
reviewed
certain
performance
data
reflecting
the
annualized
performance
for
the
period
from
December 31,
2021
through
December 31,
2023
of
the
Fund
relative
to
its
benchmark
and
of
the
equity
portion
and
options
portion
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio
relative
to
their
respective
benchmark.
The
Board
considered
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
considered
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
fund
performance
results
from
different
perspectives.
In
general,
subject
to
certain
exceptions,
the
Board
reviewed
both
absolute
and
relative
fund
performance
over
the
various
time
periods
and
considered
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”),
subject
to
certain
exceptions,
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,
dates
of
fund
inception
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
fund.
With
respect
to
relative
performance
of
a
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,
management
generally
has
ranked
the
relevancy
of
the
Performance
Peer
Groups
to
the
Funds
as
low,
medium
or
high.
In
its
review
of
relative
performance,
the
Board
considered
a
Fund’s
performance
relative
to
its
Performance
Peer
Group,
among
other
things,
by
evaluating
its
quartile
ranking
with
the
1st
quartile
representing
the
top
performing
funds
within
the
Performance
Peer
Group
and
the
4th
quartile
representing
the
lowest
performing
funds.
The
Board
also
considered
that
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
at
various
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
considered
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
providing
higher
levels
of
income.
The
Board
evaluated
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
considered
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
considered
that
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
considered
that
longer
periods
of
performance
may
reflect
full
market
cycles.
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
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
more
closely
until
performance
improves,
discuss
with
the
Adviser
the
reasons
for
such
results,
consider
whether
any
steps
are
necessary
or
appropriate
to
address
such
issues,
discuss
and
evaluate
the
potential
consequences
of
such
steps
and
review
the
results
of
any
steps
undertaken.
The
performance
determinations
with
respect
to
each
Fund
are
summarized
below.
For
the
S&P
Buy-Write
Fund,
the
Board
considered
that
the
Fund
outperformed
its
benchmark
for
the
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
ended
December
31,
2023
and
March
31,
2024.
In
addition,
the
Fund
ranked
in
the
second
quartile
of
its
Performance
Peer
Group
for
the
one-
and
three-year
periods
ended
December
31,
2023
and
third
quartile
for
the
five-year
period
ended
December
31,
2023.
The
Fund
also
ranked
in
the
second
quartile
of
its
Performance
Peer
Group
for
the
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
ended
March
31,
2024.
The
Board
further
considered
certain
performance
information
attributed
to
the
equity
portion
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio
and
the
options
portion
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio.
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
the
Fund’s
performance
supported
renewal
of
the
Advisory
Agreements.
For
the
Dow
Dynamic
Overwrite
Fund,
the
Board
considered
that
the
Fund’s
performance
was
below
the
performance
of
its
blended
benchmark
for
the
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
ended
December 31,
2023
and
March
31,
2024.
In
addition,
although
the
Fund
ranked
in
the
fourth
quartile
of
its
Performance
Peer
Group
for
the
one-
and
five-year
periods
ended
December 31,
2023,
the
Fund
ranked
in
the
third
quartile
for
the
three-year
period
ended
December
31,
2023.
The
Fund
also
ranked
in
the
fourth
quartile
of
its
Performance
Peer
Group
for
the
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
ended
March
31,
2024.
In
considering
performance,
the
Board,
however,
considered
that
the
Performance
Peer
Group
was
classified
as
low
for
relevancy.
The
Board
further
considered
certain
performance
information
attributed
to
the
equity
portion
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio
and
the
options
portion
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio.
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
the
Fund’s
performance
supported
renewal
of
the
Advisory
Agreements.

Advisory
Contract
(Unaudited)
(continued)
For
the
S&P
Dynamic
Overwrite
Fund,
the
Board
considered
that
although
the
Fund’s
performance
was
below
the
performance
of
its

for
the
three-

periods
ended
December 31,
2023
and
the
one-,

31,
2023.
In

concluded
that

Fund’s
performance
supported

For
the
Nasdaq
Dynamic

Fund,
the
Board
considered
that

the
Fund’s
performance
was

benchmark
for
the
one-,
three-
and
five-year
periods
ended

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
the
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
reviewed
information
about
other
expenses
and
the
total
operating
expense
ratio
of
each
Fund
(after
any
fee
waivers
and/or
expense
reimbursements).
More
specifically,
the
Board
Members
reviewed,
among
other
things,
each
Fund’s
management
fee
rates
and
net
total
expense
ratio
in
relation
to
similar
data
for
a
comparable
universe
of
funds
(the
“Expense
Universe”)
established
by
Broadridge.
The
Board
Members
reviewed
the
methodology
Broadridge
employed
to
establish
its
Expense
Universe
and
considered
that
differences
between
the
applicable
fund
and
its
respective
Expense
Universe
as
well
as
changes
to
the
composition
of
the
Expense
Universe
from
year
to
year,
may
limit
some
of
the
value
of
the
comparative
data.
The
Board
Members
also
considered
that
it
can
be
difficult
to
compare
management
fees
among
funds
as
there
are
variations
in
the
services
that
are
included
for
the
fees
paid.
The
Board
Members
took
these
limitations
and
differences
into
account
when
reviewing
comparative
peer
data.
The
Board
Members
also
considered
a
Fund’s
operating
expense
ratio
as
it
more
directly
reflected
a
shareholder’s
total
costs
in
investing
in
the
respective
fund.
In
their
review,
the
Board
Members
considered,
in
particular,
each
fund
with
a
net
total
expense
ratio
(based
on
common
assets
and
excluding
investment-related
costs
such
as
the
costs
of
leverage
and
taxes
for
closed-end
funds)
meeting
certain
expense
or
fee
criteria
when
compared
to
its
Expense
Universe
and
an
analysis
as
to
the
factors
contributing
to
each
such
fund’s
relative
net
total
expense
ratio.
In
addition,
although
the
Board
reviewed
a
fund’s
net
total
expense
ratio
both
including
and
excluding
investment-related
expenses
(e.g.,
leverage
costs)
for
certain
of
the
closed-end
funds,
the
Board
considered
that
leverage
expenses
will
vary
across
funds
and
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
investment-related
costs
and
taxes
for
the
closed-end
funds.
The
Board
also
considered
that
the
use
of
leverage
for
closed-end
funds
may
create
a
conflict
of
interest
for
NFAL
and
the
applicable
sub-adviser
given
the
increase
of
assets
from
leverage
upon
which
an
advisory
or
sub-advisory
fee
is
based.
The
Board
Members
considered,
however,
that
NFAL
and
the
sub-advisers
(as
applicable)
would
seek
to
manage
the
potential
conflict
by
recommending
to
the
Board
to
leverage
the
applicable
fund
or
increase
such
leverage
when
NFAL
and/or
a
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.
The
Board
Members
also
considered,
in
relevant
part,
a
Fund’s
management
fee
and
net
total
expense
ratio
in
light
of
the
Fund’s
performance
history,
including
reviewing
certain
funds
identified
by
management
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
their
evaluation
of
the
fee
arrangements
for
the
Funds,
the
Board
Members
also
reviewed
the
management
fee
schedules
and
the
expense
reimbursements
and/or
fee
waivers
agreed
to
by
the
Adviser
for
the
respective
fund
(if
any).
In
its
review,
the
Board
considered
that
the
management
fees
of
the
Nuveen
funds
were
generally
comprised
of
two
components,
a
fund-level
component
and
a
complex-level
component,
each
with
its
own
breakpoint
schedule,
subject
to
certain
exceptions.
As
indicated
above,
the
Board
approved
a
revised
fee
schedule
which
would
reduce
and
streamline
the
asset
thresholds
necessary
to
meet
breakpoints
in
the
complex-level
fee
component.
The
Board
considered
that
management
anticipated
approximately
$50
million
in
savings
for
Nuveen
fund
shareholders
as
a
result
of
the
revised
fee
schedule
as
well
as
additional
estimated
savings
over
time.
The
Board
further
considered
management’s
representation
that
there
will
be
no
increase
to
any
Nuveen
fund’s
respective
advisory
agreement
fee
rate
as
a
result
of
the
revised
complex-level
fee
schedule.
In
its
review,
the
Board
considered
that
across
the
Nuveen
fund
and
TC
fund
complex,
management
estimated
that
fund-level
breakpoints
resulted
in
approximately
$82.5
million
in
reduced
fees
overall
in
2023.
In
addition,
the
Board
considered
that
management
determined
that
the
Nuveen
funds
achieved
additional
fee
reductions
of
approximately
$49
million
due
to
the
complex-wide
management
fee
structure
in
2023.
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.
In
its
review,
the
Board
considered
that
the
compensation
paid
to
each
Sub-Adviser
is
the
responsibility
of
NFAL,
not
the
applicable
Fund(s).
The
Board’s
considerations
regarding
the
comparative
fee
data
for
each
of
the
Funds
are
set
forth
below.
For
the
S&P
Buy-Write
Fund,
the
Fund’s
contractual
management
fee
rate,
actual
management
fee
rate
and
net
total
expense
ratio
were
each
below
the
Expense
Universe
median.
For
the
Dow
Dynamic
Overwrite
Fund,
the
Fund’s
contractual
management
fee
rate,
actual
management
fee
rate
and
net
total
expense
ratio
were
each
below
the
Expense
Universe
median.
For
the
S&P
Dynamic
Overwrite
Fund,
the
Fund’s
contractual
management
fee
rate,
actual
management
fee
rate
and
net
total
expense
ratio
were
each
below
the
Expense
Universe
median.
For
the
Nasdaq
Dynamic
Overwrite
Fund,
the
Fund’s
contractual
management
fee
rate,
actual
management
fee
rate
and
net
total
expense
ratio
were
each
below
the
Expense
Universe
median.
For
the
Core
Equity
Alpha
Fund,
the
Fund’s
contractual
management
fee
rate,
actual
management
fee
rate
and
net
total
expense
ratio
were
each
below
the
Expense
Universe
median.
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
that
the
Adviser,
affiliated
sub-advisers
and/or
their
affiliate(s)
provide
investment
management
services
to
other
types
of
clients
which
may
include:
separately
managed
accounts,
retail
managed
accounts,
foreign
funds
(UCITS),
other
investment
companies
(as
sub-advisers),
limited
partnerships
and
collective
investment
trusts.
The
Board
reviewed
the
equal
weighted
average
fee
or
other
fee
data
for
the
other
types
of
clients
managed
in
a
similar
manner
to
certain
of
the
Nuveen
funds
and
TC
funds.
The
Board
considered
the
Adviser’s
rationale
for
the
differences
in
the
management
fee
rates
of
the
funds
compared
to
the
management
fee
rates
charged
to
these
other
types
of
clients.
In
this
regard,
the
Board
considered
that
differences,
including
but
not
limited
to,
the
amount,
type
and
level
of
services
provided
by
the
Adviser
to
the
funds
compared
to
that
provided
to
other
clients
as
well
as
differences
in
investment
policies;
regulatory,
disclosure
and
governance
requirements;
servicing
relationships
with
vendors;
the
manner
of
managing
such
assets;
product
structure;
investor
profiles;
and
account
sizes
all
may
contribute
to
variations
in
relative
fee
rates.
Further,
differences
in
the
client
base,
governing
bodies,
distribution,
jurisdiction
and
operational
complexities
also
would
contribute
to
variations
in
management
fees
assessed
the
funds
compared
to
foreign
fund
clients.
In
addition,
differences
in
the
level
of
advisory
services
required
for
passively
managed
funds
also
contribute
to
differences
in
the
management
fee
levels
of
such
funds
compared
to
actively
managed
funds.
As
a
general
matter,
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
considered
the
wide
range
of
services
in
addition
to
investment
management
that
the
Adviser
had
provided
to
the
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
funds.
The
Board
further
considered
that
a
sub-adviser’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
that
the
varying
levels
of
fees
were
reasonable
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.
With
respect
to
sub-advisers
unaffiliated
with
Nuveen,
including
Gateway,
the
Board
Members
reviewed
the
pricing
schedule
and/or
average
fee
rates
that
such
sub-advisers
charge
for
other
clients.
The
Board
Members
considered
that
the
Sub-Advisory
Agreement
with
Gateway,
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.
3.
Profitability
of
Fund
Advisers
In
their
review,
the
Board
Members
considered
various
profitability
data
relating
to
the
Fund
Advisers’
services
to
the
Nuveen
funds.
With
respect
to
the
Nuveen
funds,
the
Board
Members
reviewed
the
estimated
profitability
information
of
Nuveen
as
a
result
of
its
advisory
services
to
the
Nuveen
funds
overall
as
well
as
profitability
data
of
certain
other
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
2023
and
2022
calendar
years
as
well
as
the
revenues
earned
(less
any
expense
reimbursements/fee
Statement
Regarding
Basis
for
Approval
of
Investment
Advisory
Contract
(Unaudited)
(continued)
waivers)
and
expenses
incurred
by
Nuveen
Investments
for
its
advisory
activities
to
the
Nuveen
funds
(excluding
distribution)
for
the
2023
and
2022
calendar
years.
The
Board
Members
also
considered
the
rationale
for
the
change
in
Nuveen’s
profitability
from
2022
to
2023.
In
addition,
the
Board
reviewed
the
revenues,
expenses
and
operating
margin
(pre-
and
after-tax)
NFAL
derived
from
its
exchange-traded
fund
(“ETF”)
product
line
for
the
2023
and
2022
calendar
years.
In
developing
the
profitability
data,
the
Board
Members
considered
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
single
universally
recognized
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
refinements
Nuveen
had
made
to
the
methodology
that
had
occurred
over
the
years
from
2010
through
2021
to
provide
Nuveen’s
profitability
analysis,
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
2023.
The
Board
of
the
Nuveen
funds
had
also
appointed
two
Board
Members
to
serve
as
the
Board’s
liaisons
to
meet
with
representatives
of
NFAL
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
considered
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
2014
to
2023.
In
their
review
of
the
comparative
data,
the
Board
Members
considered
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
the
profitability
data,
the
Board
considered
that
NFAL
and
TAL
are
affiliates
of
Teachers
Insurance
and
Annuity
Association
of
America
(“TIAA”).
NFAL
is
a
subsidiary
of
Nuveen,
LLC,
the
investment
management
arm
of
TIAA,
and
TAL
is
an
indirect
wholly
owned
subsidiary
of
TIAA.
Accordingly,
the
Board
also
reviewed
a
balance
sheet
for
TIAA
reflecting
its
assets,
liabilities
and
capital
and
contingency
reserves
for
the
2023
and
2022
calendar
years
to
consider
the
financial
strength
of
TIAA.
The
Board
considered
the
benefit
of
an
investment
adviser
and
its
parent
with
significant
resources,
particularly
during
periods
of
market
volatility.
The
Board
also
considered
the
reinvestments
the
Adviser,
its
parent
and/
or
other
affiliates
made
into
their
business
through,
among
other
things,
the
investment
of
seed
capital
in
certain
funds,
initiatives
in
international
expansion,
investments
in
infrastructure
and
continued
investments
in
enhancements
to
technological
capabilities.
The
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
Board
Members
reviewed,
among
other
things,
such
Sub-Adviser’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,
2023
and
December
31,
2022.
The
Board
Members
also
reviewed
a
profitability
analysis
reflecting
the
revenues,
expenses
and
revenue
margin
(pre-
and
after-tax)
grouped
by
similar
types
of
funds
(such
as
municipal,
taxable
fixed
income,
equity,
real
assets
and
index/asset
allocation)
for
NAM
for
the
calendar
years
ending
December 31,
2023
and
December
31,
2022.
With
respect
to
sub-advisers
unaffiliated
with
Nuveen,
including
Gateway,
the
Board
Members
considered
a
profitability
and/or
margin
analysis
for
such
sub-advisers,
generally
including
revenues,
expenses
and
operating
margins
for
the
2023
and
2022
calendar
years.
The
Board
considered
that
Gateway’s
sub-advisory
fee
would
have
been
established
through
arm’s
length
negotiations
between
Nuveen
and
such
Sub-Adviser,
and
NFAL
pays
such
Sub-Adviser
out
of
its
own
revenues.
In
evaluating
the
reasonableness
of
the
compensation,
the
Board
Members
also
considered
the
indirect
benefits
NFAL
or
the
Sub-Advisers
received
that
were
directly
attributable
to
the
management
of
the
applicable
funds
as
discussed
in
further
detail
below.
Based
on
its
review,
the
Board
was
satisfied
that
each
Fund
Adviser’s
level
of
profitability
from
its
relationship
with
each
Nuveen
fund
was
not
unreasonable
over
various
time
frames
in
light
of
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
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
funds
in
the
fund
complex,
including
the
Funds,
whether
these
economies
of
scale
have
been
appropriately
shared
with
such
funds
and
whether
there
is
potential
for
realization
of
further
economies
of
scale.
Although
the
Board
considered
that
economies
of
scale
are
difficult
to
measure
with
any
precision
and
the
rates
at
which
certain
expenses
are
incurred
may
not
decline
with
a
rise
in
assets,
the
Board
considered
that
there
are
various
methods
that
may
be
employed
to
help
share
the
benefits
of
economies
of
scale,
including,
among
other
things,
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
the
Adviser’s
business
which
can
enhance
the
services
provided
to
the
applicable
funds
for
the
fees
paid.
The
Board
considered
that
the
Adviser
has
generally
employed
one
or
more
of
these
various
methods
among
the
applicable
funds.
In
this
regard,
the
Board
considered,
as
noted
above,
that
the
management
fee
of
NFAL
generally
was
comprised
of
a
fund-level
component
and
a
complex-level
component
each
with
its
own
breakpoint
schedule,
subject
to
certain
exceptions.
With
this
structure,
the
Board
considered
that
the
complex-level
breakpoint
schedule
was
designed
to
deliver
the
benefits
of
economies
of
scale
to
shareholders
when
the
assets
of
eligible
funds
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
were
designed
to
share
economies
of
scale
with
shareholders
if
the
particular
fund
grows.
The
Board
reviewed
the
fund-level
and
complex-level
fee
schedules.
As
summarized
above,
the
Board
approved
a
new
complex-level
breakpoint
schedule
which
would
simplify
and
reduce
the
complex-level
fee
rates
at
various
thresholds
and
expanded
the
eligible
funds
whose
assets
would
be
included
in
calculating
the
complex-level
fee,
effective
May
1,
2024.
Among
other
things,
the
assets
of
certain
TC
funds
advised
by
TAL
would
be
phased
into
the
calculation
of
the
complex-wide
assets
in
determining
the
complex-level
fee
over
a
ten-year
period.
The
Board
considered
the
cost
savings
and
additional
potential
sharing
of
economies
of
scale
as
a
result
of
the
reduced
complex-level
breakpoint
schedule
and
the
additional
assets
from
more
eligible
funds
in
calculating
the
assets
of
the
complex
for
determining
the
complex-level
fee
component.
The
Board
reviewed
the
projected
shareholder
savings
derived
from
such
modifications
over
a
ten-year
period
from
2024
to
2033.
The
Board
considered
management’s
representation
that
there
will
be
no
increase
to
any
fund’s
respective
advisory
agreement
fee
rate.
The
Board
also
considered
that
with
respect
to
Nuveen
closed-end
funds,
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.
The
Board
Members
also
considered
the
continued
reinvestment
in
Nuveen/TIAA’s
business
to
enhance
its
capabilities
and
services
to
the
benefit
of
its
various
clients.
The
Board
understood
that
many
of
these
investments
were
not
specific
to
individual
funds,
but
rather
incurred
across
a
variety
of
products
and
services
pursuant
to
which
the
family
of
funds
as
a
whole
may
benefit.
The
Board
further
considered
that
the
Adviser
and
its
affiliates
have
provided
certain
additional
services,
including,
but
not
limited
to,
services
required
by
new
regulations
and
regulatory
interpretations,
without
raising
advisory
fees
to
the
funds,
and
this
was
also
a
means
of
sharing
economies
of
scale
with
the
funds
and
their
shareholders.
The
Board
considered
the
Adviser’s
and/or
its
affiliates’
ongoing
efforts
to
streamline
the
product
line-up,
among
other
things,
to
create
more
scaled
funds
which
may
help
improve
both
expense
and
trading
economies.
Based
on
its
review,
the
Board
was
satisfied
that
the
current
fee
arrangements
together
with
the
reinvestment
in
management’s
business
appropriately
shared
any
economies
of
scale
with
shareholders.
E.
Indirect
Benefits
The
Board
Members
received
and
considered
information
regarding
various
indirect
benefits
the
respective
Fund
Adviser
or
its
affiliates
may
receive
as
a
result
of
their
relationship
with
the
funds
in
the
fund
complex,
including
the
Funds.
These
benefits
included,
among
other
things,
economies
of
scale
to
the
extent
the
Adviser
or
its
affiliates
share
investment
resources
and/or
personnel
with
other
clients
of
the
Adviser.
The
funds
may
also
be
used
as
investment
options
for
other
products
or
businesses
offered
by
the
Adviser
and/or
its
affiliates,
such
as
variable
products,
fund
of
funds
and
529
education
savings
plans,
and
affiliates
of
the
Adviser
may
serve
as
sub-advisers
to
various
funds
in
which
case
all
advisory
and
sub-advisory
fees
generated
by
such
funds
stay
within
Nuveen.
The
Board
considered
that
an
affiliate
of
the
Adviser
received
compensation
in
2023
for
serving
as
an
underwriter
on
shelf
offerings
of
existing
Nuveen
closed-end
funds
and
reviewed
the
amounts
paid
for
such
services
in
2023
and
2022.
In
addition,
the
Board
Members
considered
that
the
Adviser
and
affiliated
sub-advisers
may
utilize
soft
dollar
brokerage
arrangements
attributable
to
the
respective
funds
to
obtain
research
and
other
services
for
any
or
all
of
their
clients,
although
the
Board
Members
also
considered
reimbursements
of
such
costs
by
the
Adviser
and/or
sub-advisers,
as
applicable.
Further,
Gateway
does
not
generally
generate
soft
dollar
credits
on
behalf
of
transactions
of
the
S&P
Buy-Write
Fund.
The
Adviser
and
its
affiliates
may
also
benefit
from
the
advisory
relationships
with
the
funds
in
the
fund
complex
to
the
extent
this
relationship
results
in
potential
investors
viewing
the
TIAA
group
of
companies
as
a
leading
retirement
plan
provider
in
the
academic
and
nonprofit
market
and
a
single
source
for
all
their
financial
service
needs.
The
Adviser
and/or
its
affiliates
may
further
benefit
to
the
extent
that
they
have
pricing
or
other
information
regarding
vendors
the
funds
utilize
in
establishing
arrangements
with
such
vendors
for
other
products.
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
Board
Members
did
not
identify
any
single
factor
discussed
previously
as
all-important
or
controlling.
The
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.
