Chair’s Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
In February, the world witnessed Russia invade Ukraine. The scale of the humanitarian crisis and economic shock caused by these events cannot yet be quantified, and our thoughts remain with all those affected.
Given the fluidity of the situation, market uncertainty is currently high. Conditions were already challenging prior to the invasion, with inflation lingering at multi-decade highs, interest rates expected to continue rising, economic growth moderating from the post-pandemic recovery, and weakening performance across equity markets and some bond market segments. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has accelerated these trends in the short term. The spike in geopolitical risks led to surging prices for oil and other hard and soft commodities, driving both inflation and recession risks higher. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) and other central banks now face an even more difficult task of slowing inflation without stifling economic growth. At their March 2022 meeting, Fed officials announced a quarter percentage point increase to the short-term interest rate, raising it from near zero for the first time since the pandemic was declared two years ago.
In the meantime, while markets will likely continue fluctuating with the daily headlines, we encourage investors to keep a long-term perspective. To learn more about how well your portfolio is aligned to your time horizon, risk tolerance and investment goals, consider reviewing it with your financial professional.
On behalf of the other members of the Nuveen Fund Board, I look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Terence J. Toth
Chair of the Board

Risk Considerations and Dividend Information
Nuveen Enhanced Yield U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF
Investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. This is no guarantee the Fund's investment objective will be achieved. An exchange-traded fund seeks to generally track the investment results of an index; however the Fund may underperform, outperform or be more volatile than the referenced index. Interest rate risk occurs when interest rates rise causing bond prices to fall. Credit risk arises from an issuer's ability to make interest and principal payments when due, as well as the prices of bonds declining when an issuer's credit quality is expected to deteriorate. These and other risk considerations are described in detail in the Fund's prospectus.
Nuveen Enhanced Yield 1-5 Year U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF
Investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. There is no guarantee the Fund's investment objectives will be achieved. This ETF seeks to generally track the investment results of an index; however the Fund may underperform, outperform or be more volatile than the referenced index. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the Fund's portfolio will decline because of rising interest rates. Credit Risk is the risk that an issuer of a debt security may be unable or unwilling to make interest and principal payments when due and the related risk that the value of a debt security may decline because of concerns about the issuer's ability or willingness to make such payments. These and other risk considerations are described in detail in the Fund's prospectus.
Nuveen ESG High Yield Corporate Bond ETF
Investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. There is no guarantee the Fund’s investment objectives will be achieved. This ETF seeks to generally track the investment results of an index; however the Fund may underperform, outperform or be more volatile than the referenced index. In addition, because the Index selects securities for inclusion based on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria, the Fund may forgo some market opportunities available to funds that don’t use these criteria. Investments in below investment grade or high yield securities are subject to liquidity risk and heightened credit risk. Credit risk arises from an issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments when due, as well as the prices of bonds declining when an issuer’s credit quality is expected to deteriorate. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk; as interest rates rise, bond prices fall. These and other risk considerations, such as call, concentration and income risks, are described in detail in the Fund’s prospectus.

Dividend Information
Each Fund seeks to pay monthly dividends out of its net investment income. Monthly distributions are not expected to be a level amount from period-to-period. Each Fund will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to shareholders.
All monthly dividends paid by each Fund during the current reporting period were paid from net investment income. If a portion of the Fund's monthly distributions is sourced or comprised of elements other than net investment income, including capital gains and/or a return of capital, shareholders will be notified of those sources. For financial reporting purposes, the per share amounts of each Fund's dividends for the reporting period are presented in this report's Financial Highlights. For income tax purposes, distribution information for NUAG, NUSA, NUHY and NUDB as of their most recent tax year end is presented in Note 6 - Income Tax Information within the Notes to Financial Statements of this report.
Fund Performance, Expense Ratios and Holdings Summaries
The Fund Performance and Expense Ratios for each Fund are shown within this section of the report.
Fund Performance
Returns quoted for the Funds represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are sold, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.
Returns quoted for the Funds reflect management fees and other expenses such as transaction costs incurred by the Funds during the reporting period while the Indexes are unmanaged and therefore returns do not reflect any such fees and expenses. The Funds employ a representative sampling process that utilizes a sub-set of Index securities in an effort to provide exposure similar to that of the Indexes, which can lead the Funds to be overweight and underweight (and, in some cases, not invested at all in) certain securities as compared to the Indexes. This process can create tracking error relative to the Indexes.
Total returns for a period of less than one year are not annualized (i.e. cumulative returns). Returns assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Market price returns are based on the closing market price as of the end of the reporting period. For performance current to the most recent month-end visit nuveen.com or call (800) 257-8787.
The returns quoted for the Funds do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares.
Expense Ratios
The expense ratios shown are as of each Fund's most recent prospectus. The expense ratios shown reflect total operating expenses (before fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any). The expense ratios include management fees and other fees and expenses, but do not reflect expected transaction costs. Refer to the Financial Highlights later in this report for each Fund's expense ratios as of the end of the reporting period.
Holdings Summaries
This data relates to the securities held in each Fund's portfolio of investments as of the end of this reporting period. It should not be construed as a measure of performance for the Fund itself. Holdings are subject to change.
Each Fund uses credit quality ratings for its portfolio securities provided by Moody's, S&P and Fitch. For NUAG and NUSA, if all three of Moody's S&P, and Fitch provide a rating for a security, an average of the ratings is used; if two of the three agencies rate a security, an average of the two is used; and if only one rating agency rates a security, that rating is used. For NUHY and NUBD, if all three of Moody's S&P, and Fitch provide a rating for a security, the middle rating is used; if two of the three agencies rate a security, the lower rating is used; and if only one rating agency rates a security, that rating is used. AAA, AA, A and BBB are investment grade ratings; BB, B, CCC/CC/C and D are below-investment grade ratings. Credit ratings are subject to change. U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities are included in the U.S. Treasury/Agency category.

Yields as of January 31, 2022
Dividend Rate is the average dividend per share for the current reporting period divided by the offering price per share at period end.
The SEC 30-Day Yield is a standardized measure of a fund’s yield that accounts for the future amortization of premiums or discounts of bonds held in the fund’s portfolio. The SEC 30-Day Yield is computed under an SEC standardized formula and is based on the maximum offer price per share. Dividend Rate may differ from the SEC 30-Day Yield because the fund may be paying out more or less than it is earning and it may not include the effect of amortization of bond premium.

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other applicable Fund expenses. The Examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the period ended January 31, 2022.
The beginning of the period is August 1, 2021.
The information under “Actual Performance,” together with the amount you invested, allows you to estimate actual expenses incurred over the reporting period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the cost shown for your Fund in the row entitled “Expenses Incurred During Period” to estimate the expenses incurred on your account during this period.
The information under “Hypothetical Performance” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you incurred for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industry sub-classifications into sectors for reporting ease. | |
(1) | All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets. | |

If all three of Moody's, S&P, and Fitch provide a rating for a security, an average of the ratings is used; if two of the three agencies rate a security, an average of the two is used; and if only one rating agency rates a security, that rating is used. AAA, AA, A, and BBB are investment grade ratings; BB, B, CCC/CC/C and D are below-investment grade ratings. Credit ratings are subject to change. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by Moody's, S&P or Fitch. | |

| 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. | |
(1) | All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets. | |
(2) | The Fund uses credit quality ratings for its portfolio securities provided by Moody's, S&P and Fitch. If all three of Moody's, S&P, and Fitch provide a rating for a security, the middle is used; if two of the three agencies rate a security, the lower rating is used; and if only one rating agency rates a security, that rating is used. AAA, AA, A, and BBB are investment grade ratings; BB, B, CCC/CC/C and D are below-investment grade ratings. Credit ratings are subject to change. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by Moody's, S&P or Fitch. | |
(3) | Investment, or a portion of investment, is out on loan for securities lending. The total value of the securities out on loan as of the end of the reporting period was $1,264,161. | |
(4) | Perpetual security. Maturity date is not applicable. | |
(5) | The Fund may loan securities representing up to one third of the market value of its total assets (which includes collateral for securities on loan) to broker dealers, banks, and other institutions. The collateral maintained by the Fund shall have a market value, at the inception of each loan, equal to not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. The cash collateral received by the Fund is invested in this money market fund. | |
(6) | The rate shown is the one-day yield as of the end of the reporting period. | |
144A | Investment is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These investments may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration, which are normally those transactions with qualified institutional buyers. | |
N/A | Not Applicable. | |
Reg S | Regulation S allows U.S. companies to sell securities to persons or entities located outside of the United States without registering those securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Specifically, Regulation S provides a safe harbor from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for the offers and sales of securities by both foreign and domestic issuers that are made outside the United States. | |

(2) | The Fund uses credit quality ratings for its portfolio securities provided by Moody's, S&P and Fitch. If all three of Moody's, S&P, and Fitch provide a rating for a security, the middle is used; if two of the three agencies rate a security, the lower rating is used; and if only one rating agency rates a security, that rating is used. AAA, AA, A, and BBB are investment grade ratings; BB, B, CCC/CC/C and D are below-investment grade ratings. Credit ratings are subject to change. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by Moody's, S&P or Fitch. | |

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. General Information
Trust and Fund Information
Nushares ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust is comprised of Nuveen Enhanced Yield U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (NUAG), Nuveen Enhanced Yield 1-5 Year U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (NUSA), Nuveen ESG High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (NUHY) and Nuveen ESG U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (NUBD) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), as diversified funds, among others. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on February 20, 2015. Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca (the “Exchange”).
The end of the reporting period for the Funds is January 31, 2022, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the six months ended January 31, 2022 (the "current fiscal period").
Investment Adviser and Sub-Adviser
The Funds' investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC (“Nuveen”). Nuveen is the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America ("TIAA"). The Adviser has overall responsibility for management of the Funds, oversees the management of the Funds' portfolios, manages the Funds' business affairs and provides certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with Teachers Advisors, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolios of the Funds.
Other Matters
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and subsequent global pandemic began significantly impacting the U.S. and global financial markets and economies during the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2020. The worldwide spread of COVID-19 has created significant uncertainty in the global economy. The duration and extent of COVID-19 over the long term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 and the extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Funds' normal course of business, results of operations, investments, and cash flows will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. Management continues to monitor and evaluate this situation.
2. 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 creation unit transactions. The NAV for financial reporting purposes includes security and creation unit transactions through the date of the report. Total return is computed based on the NAV used for processing security and creation unit transactions. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds.
Compensation
The Trust pays no compensation directly to those of its trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Funds' Board of Trustees (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 Shareholders
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust has 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. 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. Securities lending income is comprised of fees earned from borrowers and income earned on cash collateral investments.
New Accounting Pronouncements and Rule Issuances
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The main objective of the new guidance is to provide relief to companies that will be impacted by the expected change in benchmark interest rates, when participating banks will no longer be required to submit London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) quotes by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The new guidance allows companies to, provided the only change to existing contracts are a change to an approved benchmark interest rate, account for modifications as a continuance of the existing contract without additional analysis. For new and existing contracts, the Fund may elect to apply the amendments as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has not yet elected to apply the amendments, is continuously evaluating the potential effect a discontinuation of LIBOR could have on the Funds' investments and has currently determined that it is unlikely the ASU’s adoption will have a significant impact on the Funds' financial statements and various filings.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Adopts New Rules to Modernize Fund Valuation Framework
In December 2020, the SEC voted to adopt a new rule governing fund valuation practices. New Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, which requires a fund to fair value a security when market quotations are not readily available. The SEC also adopted new Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act, which sets forth the recordkeeping requirements associated with fair value determinations. Finally, the SEC is rescinding previously issued guidance on related issues, including the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4 became effective on March 8, 2021, with a compliance date of September 8, 2022. A fund may voluntarily comply with the rules after the effective date, and in advance of the compliance date, under certain conditions. Management is currently assessing the impact of these provisions on the Funds' financial statements.
3. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
The Funds' investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value utilizing valuation methods approved by the 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:
Prices of fixed-income securities are provided by an independent pricing service (“pricing service”) approved by the Board. The pricing service establishes 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, the pricing service 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 on the valuation date and are generally classified as Level 1.
Any portfolio security or derivative for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be consid-
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
ered 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 of the fair value hierarchy; 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:

4. Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives
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, the 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. 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 Statements of Operations.
As of the end of the reporting period, the total value of the loaned securities and the total value of collateral received were as follows:
Fund | Asset Class out on Loan | Long-Term Investments, at Value | Total Collateral Received |
NUAG | Corporate Debt | $ 649,537 | $ 666,837 |
| Government Related | 222,999 | 231,375 |

| Government Related | 279,850 | 286,968 |
Total | | $ 814,186 | $ 834,449 |
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.
Investment Transactions
Long-term purchases and sales (including maturities, but excluding in-kind transactions) during the current fiscal period were as follows:

Investment securities | 96,838,336 | 8,920,599 | 28,086,175 | 44,313,399 |
U.S. Government and agency obligations | 33,089,625 | 6,797,895 | — | 26,273,946 |
In-kind transactions during the current fiscal period were as follows:
| NUAG | NUSA | NUHY | NUBD |
In-kind purchases | $92,013,388 | $3,215,452 | $15,667,844 | $16,477,420 |
In-kind sales | — | 4,780,087 | 6,358,646 | 8,403,191 |
The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may have extended settlement periods; interest income is not accrued until settlement date. Any securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have earmarked securities in their portfolios with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. If a Fund has outstanding when-issued/delayed-delivery purchases commitments as of the end of the reporting period, such amounts are recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Investments in Derivatives
Each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments. The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds' investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes.
Although each Fund is authorized to invest in derivative instruments, and may do so in the future, they did not make any such investments during the current fiscal period.
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
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
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.
5. Fund Shares
Each Fund issues and redeems its shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Only certain institutional investors (referred to as “Authorized Participants”) who have entered into agreements with Nuveen Securities, LLC, the Funds' distributor, may purchase and redeem Creation Units. Once created, shares of the Funds trade on the Exchange at market prices and are only available to individual investors through their brokers.
Creation Units are purchased and redeemed in-kind for a designated portfolio of securities included in each Fund’s respective Index and/or a specified amount of cash. Authorized Participants are charged fixed transaction fees in connection with purchasing and redeeming Creation Units. Authorized Participants transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay an additional variable charge to compensate the relevant Fund for certain transaction costs (i.e., taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses it incurs in purchasing or selling portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares sold” on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

6. Income Tax Information
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Each Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state and local jurisdictions. A Fund's federal income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three fiscal years after being filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional period of time depending on the jurisdiction. Management has analyzed each Fund's tax positions taken for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements.
As of the end of the reporting period, the aggregate cost and the net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of all investments for federal income tax purposes was as follows:
Fund | Tax Cost | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
NUAG | $364,261,938 | $ 170,510 | $(12,898,555) | $(12,728,045) |

NUHY | 101,728,680 | 225,326 | (3,511,346) | (3,286,020) |
NUBD | 269,977,425 | 1,113,307 | (8,107,486) | (6,994,179) |
For purposes of this disclosure, tax cost generally includes the cost of portfolio investments as well as up-front fees or premiums exchanged on derivatives and any amounts unrealized for income statement reporting but realized income and/or capital gains for tax reporting, if applicable.
As of prior fiscal period end, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Fund | Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | Capital Loss Carryforwards | Late-Year Loss Deferrals | Other Book-to-Tax Differences | Total |

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees
Each Fund’s management fee compensates the Adviser for its investment advisory services to the Funds. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser. The Adviser is responsible for substantially all other expenses of the Funds, except any future distribution and/or service fees, interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including any trustees’ counsel fees), certain compensation expenses of the Funds’ chief compliance officer, litigation expenses and extraordinary expenses.

Liquidity Risk Management Program
(Unaudited)
Discussion of the operation and effectiveness of the Fund's liquidity risk management program
In compliance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”), the Fund covered in this Report has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”), which is designed to manage each Fund’s liquidity risk. The Program consists of various protocols for assessing and managing the Fund’s liquidity risk. The Fund's Board of Directors (the “Board”) previously designated Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC, the Fund's investment adviser (the “Adviser”), as the administrator of the Program. The Adviser’s Liquidity Monitoring and Analysis Team (“LMAT”) carries out day-to-day Program management with oversight by the Adviser’s Liquidity Oversight Sub-Committee (“LOSC”). LMAT and LOSC are composed of personnel from the Adviser and Teachers Advisors, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser.
At a May 26, 2021 meeting of the Board, the Adviser provided the Board with a written report addressing the Program’s operation, adequacy and effectiveness of implementation for the calendar year 2020 (the “Review Period”), as required under the Liquidity Rule. The report noted that the Program has been and continues to be adequately and effectively implemented to monitor and (as applicable) respond to each Fund’s liquidity developments.
In accordance with the Program, LMAT assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk no less frequently than annually based on various factors, such as (i) the Fund’s investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments, (ii) cash flow projections, and (iii) holdings of cash and cash equivalents, borrowing arrangements, and other funding sources. Certain factors are considered under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions.
The Funds’ portfolio investments are classified into one of four liquidity categories (including the most liquid, “Highly Liquid,” and the least liquid, “Illiquid,” as discussed below). The classification is based on a determination of how long it is reasonably expected to take to convert the investment into cash, or sell or dispose of the investment, in current market conditions without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Liquidity classification determinations take into account various market, trading, and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, using third-party vendor data.
A fund that does not primarily hold Highly Liquid investments must, among other things, determine a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid investments (a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum”). During the Review Period, the Fund primarily held Highly Liquid investments and therefore was exempt from the requirement to adopt a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum and to comply with the related requirements under the Liquidity Rule.
The Liquidity Rule also limits a fund’s investments in Illiquid investments. Specifically, the Liquidity Rule prohibits a fund from acquiring Illiquid investments if doing so would result in the fund holding more than 15% of its net assets in Illiquid investments, and requires certain reporting to the fund’s board and the Securities and Exchange Commission any time a fund’s holdings of Illiquid investments exceeds 15% of net assets. During the Review Period, the Fund did not exceed the 15% limit on Illiquid investments.
