IMPORTANT DISTRIBUTION NOTICE
for Shareholders of the Nuveen S&P 500 Dynamic Overwrite Fund (SPXX)
Nuveen Nasdaq 100 Dynamic Overwrite Fund (QQQX)
Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund (JCE)
Semi-Annual Shareholder Report for the period ending June 30, 2026
The Nuveen S&P 500 Dynamic Overwrite Fund (SPXX), Nuveen Nasdaq 100 Dynamic Overwrite Fund (QQQX) and Nuveen Core Equity Alpha
Fund (JCE) 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 $0.4215, $0.7380, $0.3640 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 29, 2026 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.
DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION – AS OF MAY 29, 2026
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. It is estimated that QQQX has 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 reported in this 19(a) Notice are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The
actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Funds’ investment experience during the remainder of
its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Each Fund will send 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 each Fund’s distributions and the basis for these estimates are
available on www.nuveen.com/cef.
The following table provides information regarding the Funds’ distributions and total return performance over various time periods. This information
is intended to help you better understand whether returns for the specified time periods were sufficient to meet its distributions.

(a)
Based on average shares outstanding.
(b)
Total Return Based on Common Share NAV is the combination of changes in common share NAV, reinvested distributions at Common Share NAV, if any. The last
distribution 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 distribution 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 distributions, if any, at
the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last distribution 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 distribution 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 used in the
calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

1. General Information 
Fund Information:
The funds covered in this report and their corresponding New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”)
or
Nasdaq National Market
(“Nasdaq”) symbols are as follows (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):
Nuveen S&P 500 Dynamic Overwrite Fund (SPXX)
Nuveen Nasdaq 100 Dynamic Overwrite Fund (QQQX)
Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund (JCE)
The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as closed-end management investment
companies. Shares of SPXX and JCE are traded on the NYSE while shares of QQQX are traded on the Nasdaq. SPXX, QQQX and JCE were
organized as Massachusetts business trusts on November 11, 2004, May 20, 2014 and January 9, 2007, respectively.
Current Fiscal Period
: The end of the reporting period for the Funds is June 30, 2026, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial
Statements is the six months ended June 30, 2026 (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, and, if necessary, asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-
advisory agreements with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), a subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages
the investment portfolios of SPXX, QQQX and JCE.
SPXX – Fund Mergers:
Effective prior to opening of business on March 30, 2026, Nuveen S&P 500 Buy-Write Income Fund (BXMX) and Nuveen
Dow 30SM Dynamic Overwrite Fund (DIAX) (the “Target Funds”) were reorganized into SPXX (the “Acquiring Fund”) (the “Merger”). With respect to
the Merger of the Target Funds with and into the Acquiring Fund, the separate legal existence of the Target Funds ceased for all purposes and the
Acquiring Fund succeeded to all the assets and assumed all the liabilities of the Target Funds. Shares of the Target Funds were converted into newly
issued shares of the Acquiring Fund. Holders of common shares of the Target Funds received newly issued common shares of the Acquiring Fund,
the aggregate net asset value (“NAV”) of which was equal to the aggregate NAV of the common shares of the Target Funds held immediately prior
to the Merger (including for this purpose fractional Acquiring Fund shares to which shareholders were entitled). For accounting and performance
reporting purposes, the Acquiring Fund is the survivor.
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. The Funds are investment companies and follow accounting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The NAV for financial reporting purposes may differ from
the NAV for processing security and common share transactions. The NAV for financial reporting purposes includes security and common share
transactions through the date of the report. Total return is computed based on the NAV used for processing security and common share 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 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 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.
45
Investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars on a spot (i.e. cash) basis at the spot
rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market at the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and income denominated in
foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.The books and records of the Funds are maintained in
U.S. dollars. Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the end of each day.
Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the
transactions.
Some markets in which the Funds invest impose capital controls, repatriation limits and/or transaction fees, for example, on the amount of foreign
currency that may be converted to U.S. dollars. These restrictions, in some markets where foreign exchange restrictions are imposed, may be
reflected in non-deliverable forward rates (NDF), or prevailing “offshore” rates that apply to non-local investors. Accordingly, the Fund may apply
NDF rates, or another alternative exchange rate believed by the Adviser to be more reflective of the rates at which the Funds may transact, where
applicable, to convert the value of non-U.S. dollar denominated securities to U.S. dollars. The U.S. dollar market value of such securities held in
markets where NDF rates exist may be lower than the U.S. dollar market value of securities using prevailing local or “onshore” foreign currency
exchange rates.    
Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates associated with (i) foreign currency, (ii) investments and (iii)
derivatives include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date of the transactions, foreign currency transactions, and
the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Funds and the amounts actually received are recognized
as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency transactions” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.
The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in foreign exchange rates associated with
(i) investments and (ii) other assets and liabilities are recognized as a component of “Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign
currency translations” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange
rates associated with investments in derivatives are recognized as a component of the respective derivative’s related “Change in 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 current fiscal period, if any, are further described later in these Notes to
Financial Statements.
Segment Reporting:
Each Fund represents a single operating segment. The officers of the Funds act as the chief operating decision maker
(“CODM”), as defined in U.S. GAAP. The CODM monitors the operating results of each Fund as a whole and is responsible for each Fund’s long-
term strategic asset allocation in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the
Fund’s portfolio managers as a team. The financial information in the form of the Fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and
changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions), which are used by the CODM to assess
the segment’s performance versus the Fund’s comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for the Fund’s single segment,
is consistent with that presented within the Fund’s financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as
“total assets” and significant segment revenues and expenses are listed on the Statement of Operations.  
New Accounting Pronouncement (ASU No. 2025-11)
: In December 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Updated ("ASU") No. 2025-11,
Interim Reporting (Topic 270) Narrow Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”). The amendments in ASU 2025-11 provide a comprehensive list of
interim disclosures that are required by U.S. GAAP. ASU 2025-11 also includes a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the
46
Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 are effective for interim reporting
periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. Management is currently
evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.
3. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements 
The Funds’ investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value utilizing valuation methods approved by the Adviser, subject to
oversight of the Board. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly
transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. U.S. GAAP establishes the three-tier hierarchy
which is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value
measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect management’s
assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best
information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit
spreads, etc.).
Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of
investments).
A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major classifications of assets and liabilities measured at fair value follows:
Equity securities and exchange-traded funds listed or traded on a national market or exchange are valued based on their last reported sales price
or official closing price of such market or exchange on the valuation date. Foreign equity securities and registered investment companies that trade
on a foreign exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on the principal exchange where traded, and converted to
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, and the fair value of certain other assets and liabilities, when
applicable, as of the end of the current fiscal period, based on the inputs used to value them:
47
4. 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 current fiscal
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. The market value of securities loaned is determined at the close of business of
the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. 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 fiscal period, the total value of the loaned securities and the total value of collateral received were as follows:
Purchases and Sales:
Long-term purchases and sales during the current fiscal period were as follows:
The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may
have extended settlement periods; interest income is not accrued until settlement date. Any securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation
during this period. If a Fund has outstanding when-issued/delayed-delivery purchases commitments as of the end of the current fiscal period, such
amounts are recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
5. Derivative Investments
Each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments. As defined by U.S. GAAP, a derivative is a financial instrument whose value is
derived from an underlying security price, foreign exchange rate, interest rate, index of prices or rates, or other variables. Investments in derivatives
as of the end of and/or during the current fiscal period, if any, are included within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of
Operations, respectively.
Options Transactions
:
During the current fiscal period, SPXX, QQQX and JCE, each wrote put and call options on equity indices as per its stated
dynamic overwriting strategy with the notional amounts of these options ranging from approximately 35-75% of each Fund’s assets. SPXX, QQQX,
and JCE also purchased put and call options as part of their overwrite strategy.
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 Statement of Operations. When an option expires, the premiums
received or paid are recognized as realized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. 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.
The average notional amount of outstanding options purchased during the current fiscal period, was as follows:
The average notional amount of outstanding options written during the current fiscal period, was as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
During the current fiscal period, the effect of derivative contracts on the Funds' Statement of Operations was as follows:
Market and Counterparty Credit Risk:
In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial
transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform
(counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets,
which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap
transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their
carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial
resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may
be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal
to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have
instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a
pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by
at least the pre-determined threshold amount.
6. Fund Shares
Common Shares 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 the current and prior fiscal period.
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.
Maximum aggregate offering, common shares sold and offering proceeds, net of offering costs under the Fund’s Shelf Offering during the Fund’s
current and prior fiscal periods were as follows:
Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with their initial shelf registrations are recorded as a prepaid expense and recognized as “Deferred
offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These costs are amortized pro rata as common shares are sold and are recognized as
a component of “Proceeds from shelf offering, net of offering costs” on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. Any deferred offering costs
remaining after the effectiveness of the initial shelf registration will be expensed. Costs incurred by the Funds to keep the shelf registration current
are expensed as incurred and recognized as a component of “Other expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

Common Share Transactions: 
 Transactions in common shares for the Funds during the Funds’ current and prior fiscal period, where applicable,
were as follows:
7. Income Tax Information
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and
net capital gains to shareholders and otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Each Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state and local jurisdictions. A Fund's federal income tax returns are generally
subject to examination for a period of three fiscal years after being filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional
period of time depending on the jurisdiction. Management has analyzed each Fund's tax positions taken for all open tax years and has concluded
that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements.
As of the end of the reporting period, the aggregate cost and the net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of all investments for federal income tax
purposes were as follows:
For purposes of this disclosure, tax cost generally includes the cost of portfolio investments as well as up-front fees or premiums exchanged on
derivatives and any amounts unrealized for income statement reporting but realized income and/or capital gains for tax reporting, if applicable.
As of prior fiscal period end, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
As of prior fiscal period end, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards, which will not expire:
8. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees:
Management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office
facilities. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for their services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.

Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
Each Fund’s management fee consists of two components – a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within each individual Fund,
and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables Fund
shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed
by the Adviser.
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated according to the following schedules:
The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated according to the following schedule:
* 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
Equity 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 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 eligible assets in
certain circumstances. 
As of the end of the current fiscal period, the fund-level and 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:
9. Inter-Fund Borrowing and Lending
Inter-Fund Lending Program:
The SEC has granted an exemptive order permitting registered open-end and closed-end Nuveen funds to participate
in an inter-fund lending facility whereby the Nuveen funds may directly lend to and borrow money from each other for temporary purposes (e.g., to
satisfy redemption requests or when a sale of securities “fails,” resulting in an unanticipated cash shortfall) (the “Inter-Fund Program”). The closed-

end Nuveen funds, including the Funds covered by this shareholder report, will participate only as lenders, and not as borrowers, in the Inter-Fund
Program because such closed-end funds rarely, if ever, need to borrow cash to meet redemptions. The Inter-Fund Program is subject to a number
of conditions, including, among other things, the requirements that (1) no fund may borrow or lend money through the Inter-Fund Program unless
it receives a more favorable interest rate than is typically available from a bank or other financial institution for a comparable transaction; (2) no fund
may borrow on an unsecured basis through the Inter-Fund Program unless the fund’s outstanding borrowings from all sources immediately after the
inter-fund borrowing total 10% or less of its total assets; provided that if the borrowing fund has a secured borrowing outstanding from any other
lender, including but not limited to another fund, the inter-fund loan must be secured on at least an equal priority basis with at least an equivalent
percentage of collateral to loan value; (3) if a fund’s total outstanding borrowings immediately after an inter-fund borrowing would be greater than
10% of its total assets, the fund may borrow through the inter-fund loan on a secured basis only; (4) no fund may lend money if the loan would
cause its aggregate outstanding loans through the Inter-Fund Program to exceed 15% of its net assets at the time of the loan; (5) a fund’s inter-fund
loans to any one fund shall not exceed 5% of the lending fund’s net assets; (6) the duration of inter-fund loans will be limited to the time required to
receive payment for securities sold, but in no event more than seven days; and (7) each inter-fund loan may be called on one business day’s notice
by a lending fund and may be repaid on any day by a borrowing fund. In addition, a Nuveen fund may participate in the Inter-Fund Program only
if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. The Board is responsible for
overseeing the Inter-Fund Program.
The limitations detailed above and the other conditions of the SEC exemptive order permitting the Inter-Fund Program are designed to minimize
the risks associated with Inter-Fund Program for both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. However, no borrowing or lending activity is without
risk. When a fund borrows money from another fund, there is a risk that the loan could be called on one day’s notice or not renewed, in which case
the fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher rate or take other actions to payoff such loan if an inter-fund loan is not available from another
fund. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.
During the current fiscal period, none of the Funds covered by this shareholder report have entered into any inter-fund loan activity.
10. Fund Mergers
The Merger as previously described in these Notes to Financial Statements was structured to qualify as a tax-free merger under the Internal Revenue
Code for federal income tax purposes, and the Target Funds’ shareholders recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result.
Prior to the closing of the Merger, the Target Funds distributed all of its net investment income and capital gains, if any. Such a distribution may be
taxable to the Target Funds’ shareholders for federal income tax purposes.
Investments:
The cost, fair value and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of the investments (including investments in derivatives) of the
Target Funds as of the date of the Merger, were as follows:
For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Fund was recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the
investments received from the Target Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Acquiring Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and
losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
Common Shares:
The common shares outstanding, net assets applicable to common shares and NAV per common share outstanding immediately
before and after the Merger were as follows:

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report
(Unaudited)
19(a) Notice:
Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires that the payment of any distribution which is made
from a source other than the fund’s net income be accompanied by a written notice that discloses the estimated sources of such
payment.
Average Annual Total Return
: This is a commonly used method to express an investment’s performance over a particular, usually
multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investment’s actual cumulative
performance (including change in NAV or offer price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time
period being considered.
Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share:
A fund’s Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash, accrued earnings and
receivables) less its total liabilities. NAV per share is equal to the fund’s Net Assets divided by its number of shares outstanding.

I. The Approval Process
At an in-person meeting held on April 28 and 29, 2026 (the “Meeting”), the Boards of Trustees (collectively, the “Board” and each Trustee, a
“Board Member”) of the Funds approved, for their respective Fund, the renewal of the investment management agreement (each, an “Investment
Management Agreement”) with Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (“NFAL” or the “Adviser”) pursuant to which NFAL serves as the investment adviser
to such Fund. Similarly, for each Fund, the Board approved the renewal of the sub-advisory agreement (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with
Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“NAM” or the “Sub-Adviser”) pursuant to which the Sub-Adviser serves as the sub-adviser to such Fund. At the
time of the Meeting, prior to an internal restructuring pursuant to which Teachers Advisors, LLC (“TAL”) was merged into NAM (the “Restructuring”),
the Nuveen fund complex consisted of the group of funds advised by NFAL (the “NFAL Funds”), including the Funds, and the group of funds
advised by TAL (the “TC Funds”; the NFAL Funds and the TC Funds are collectively referred to as the “Nuveen funds” or the “funds”). TAL and
NFAL were affiliates as NFAL is a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC, the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of
America (“TIAA”), and TAL was an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of TIAA. The Sub-Adviser is also an affiliate of NFAL.
The Board Members are not “interested persons” (as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”)) and, therefore, the
Board is 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 approval of the continuance of each Investment
Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement on behalf of the applicable Fund on an annual basis. The Investment Management
Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements,” and the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are
collectively, the “Fund Advisers” and each, a “Fund Adviser.”
In considering the continuance of each Advisory Agreement, the Board considered information received by it throughout the year as well as
materials prepared specifically at the Board’s request for the Board’s evaluation of the Advisory Agreements at the Meeting. The Board Members
considered the review of the Advisory Agreements to be an ongoing process. The Board and its committees meet regularly throughout the year,
including in executive sessions, providing the Board Members with the opportunity to assess the quality and scope of the various services provided
by a Fund Adviser during the year through the written materials, oral presentations and discussions with senior management. The information
provided to the Board and/or its committees at these meetings covered a wide range of topics pertinent to the annual consideration of the renewal
of the Advisory Agreements, including, but not limited to: (a) the investment performance of the Nuveen funds over various periods and the reasons
for any outperformance or underperformance relative to peers and/or benchmarks or other performance metrics (as applicable); (b) strategic
priorities for the business of the Adviser, including significant developments impacting a Fund Adviser; (c) product initiatives for various funds; (d)
compliance, regulatory and risk management reports, including any initiatives in seeking to strengthen compliance capabilities and controls and to
meet regulatory requirements, compliance policies and procedures; (e) other payments to intermediaries, including Rule 12b-1 fees (as applicable);
(f) reports on the valuation of securities; (g) periodic investment team presentations; (h) evaluations on fund expenses; (i) trading practices and
execution quality of portfolio transactions; (j) management of distributions; and (k) with respect to closed-end funds, closed-end fund market activity,
capital management initiatives, institutional ownership, management of leverage financing, the secondary market trading of the closed-end funds
and any actions taken to address market discounts to net asset value.
In addition to the materials and discussions that occurred at prior meetings, 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 in conjunction
with the Meeting included, among other things, (a) a description of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Fund Advisers; (b) a
review of the Sub-Adviser and/or investment team (as applicable); (c) fund performance over various periods with a focus on funds considered to
have met certain challenged performance measurements; (d) the fees and expense ratios of the funds with a focus on funds considered to have
certain expense characteristics; (e) a list of management fees and sub-advisory fee schedules; (f) an analysis of advisory fees compared to fees
assessed to other types of clients; (g) a description of portfolio manager compensation; (h) certain profitability and/or financial data; (i) a summary
of the investments made in 2025 by the Adviser and/or its affiliates in technology enhancements; and (j) a description of indirect benefits received
by the Fund Advisers as a result of their relationships with the funds. 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 Fund to those of a
peer universe, as well as a description of Broadridge’s methodology in compiling the expense universe.
The information prepared specifically for the annual review supplemented the information provided to the Board and its committees and the
evaluations of the Nuveen funds by the Board and its committees during the year. The 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. The Board Members
employed the accumulated information, knowledge and experience they had gained during their tenure as disinterested Board Members on the
Board and its committees in overseeing the applicable Nuveen funds and working with the respective Fund Advisers in their review of the Advisory
Agreements.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
(continued)
As part of their review, the Board Members and independent legal counsel met in executive session on April 17, 2026 (the “April Executive Session”)
to review and discuss materials provided in connection with their annual review of the Advisory Agreements. After reviewing this information, the
Board Members requested, directly or through independent legal counsel, additional information and received the responses to these follow-up
questions and requests. In addition to the April Executive Session, the Board Members met in additional executive sessions prior to and during
the Meeting. During the Meeting, the Board Members considered the materials, invited representatives of management to provide additional
information and determined that the information provided (whether oral or written) was responsive to their requests.
The Board Members had the benefit of independent legal counsel during the annual review process as well as throughout the year and met with
independent legal counsel at various executive sessions without the presence of any Fund Adviser management. 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.
After the discussions and with the background and knowledge described above, the Board Members approved the continuation of the Advisory
Agreements on behalf of the Funds for an additional one-year period until May 1, 2027. The Board did not identify any single factor as all-important
or controlling, but rather each decision reflected the comprehensive consideration of all the information (written or oral) 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.
In addition, as noted above, after an initial period of up to two years, the 1940 Act requires the Board to review advisory agreements on an annual
basis. In connection with the annual review, management and the Board proposed to reset the annual review schedule for the Advisory Agreements
to permit the agreements to continue for a one-year period until August 1st following the renewal as opposed to the current May 1st deadline. To
implement the new review schedule, at its in-person meeting held on May 27-28, 2026 (the “May Meeting”), the Board approved the continuance
of the Advisory Agreements through July 31, 2027. A discussion of the Board’s approval at the May Meeting of the continuance of the Advisory
Agreements is set forth in Section II below.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In evaluating the renewal of the Advisory Agreements at the Meeting, 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 this approach, they considered the roles
of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser in providing services to the Funds.
The Board considered that the Adviser provides a wide array of management, oversight and other services necessary to manage and operate
the Funds. The Board considered the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ dedication of resources, time, people and capital as well as consistent program
of improvement and innovation aimed at keeping the Nuveen fund complex relevant and attractive for existing and new investors and meeting
the needs of an increasingly complex regulatory environment. In its review of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates, the Board
considered a description of the staffing levels of the investment and non-investment personnel; the experience and qualifications of key personnel;
succession planning and staffing in seeking to help ensure the continuation of services and avoid business disruptions as a result of retirements or
departures; business continuity functions which seek to develop and monitor corporate-wide standards and procedures in seeking to help ensure
the firm may continue to operate in the event of business disruptions; ongoing investments in the infrastructure and technology in enhancing the
services provided to the applicable Nuveen funds; certain financial data of the Adviser and/or TIAA in assessing the financial stability and condition
of the Adviser to continue to provide a high level of quality services to the applicable Nuveen funds; and portfolio manager compensation structure
in seeking to attract and retain high quality talent.
In its evaluation, the Board considered that the Adviser is responsible for providing investment advisory services and does so indirectly through
a sub-adviser. In this regard, the Funds utilize the Sub-Adviser and its investment teams to manage the portfolios of the Funds subject to the
supervision of the Adviser. In evaluating the investment advisory services, the Board and/or its investment committee considered the Adviser’s
role, among other things, in monitoring and reporting to the Board on fund performance, market conditions and investment team matters; setting
and evaluating investment strategies, including changes to mandates, policies and benchmarks; monitoring and overseeing the performance and
investment capabilities of the Sub-Adviser and/or investment teams and recommending changes thereto as appropriate; monitoring compliance with
portfolio guidelines; monitoring and analyzing the trade execution of the funds’ portfolios; and managing valuation matters.
The Board considered the division of responsibilities between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and considered that the Sub-Adviser and its
investment personnel, as noted, generally are responsible for the management of the respective Fund’s portfolio under the oversight of the Adviser
and the Board. The Board considered an analysis of the Sub-Adviser which included, among other things, a summary of changes (if any) 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 that met certain performance screening measurements; and data reflecting product changes (if any) taken with respect to certain funds. The
Board considered that the Adviser recommended the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
In addition to the portfolio management services provided to the Funds, the Board considered the comprehensive package of non-management
services the Adviser and its various teams and affiliates provide to manage and operate the applicable Nuveen funds, including compliance,
regulatory, administrative and other services which have expanded over the years as a result of market, regulatory and other developments. Such
services include, but are not limited to: distribution management services pursuant to which management seeks to implement distribution policies
and set distribution levels consistent with each fund’s product design and positioning; compliance services including establishing and maintaining
broad-based compliance policies across the Nuveen fund complex, evaluating the compliance programs of various fund services providers,
61
conducting ongoing risk assessments and testing, monitoring portfolio compliance with investment and regulatory requirements and providing a
comprehensive compliance training program; regulatory and regulatory advocacy services, including monitoring regulatory developments that may
impact the fund(s), responding to regulatory inquiries and examinations and fulfilling regulatory filing requirements; Board and committee support
services, including organizing meetings and coordinating site visits and presentations with affiliated and/or external investment teams and providing
reports on a wide range of topics relating to the operations and management of the funds, including strategic initiatives and priorities, fund
performance, trade execution, securities lending (as applicable), compliance matters, valuation matters, liquidity and derivatives risk management;
oversight services, including establishing and coordinating the services provided by other fund service providers (such as a fund’s custodian,
accountant, and transfer agent); and legal support services.
With respect to closed-end Nuveen funds, such services also include managing leverage; managing distributions; providing capital management
and secondary market services (such as implementing common share shelf offerings, rights 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 funds, management
actively monitors any discount from net asset value per share at which the respective fund’s common stock trades and evaluates potential avenues to
mitigate the discount, including evaluating the level of distributions that the fund pays.
Aside from the services provided, the Board considered the financial resources of the Adviser and/or its affiliates and their willingness to make
investments to support the funds. The Board considered the funds’ access to a seed capital budget provided by the Adviser and/or its affiliates
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, and expertise. 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 Nuveen
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.
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
The Board, directly or through its Investment Committee, which is comprised of all Board Members, provides oversight of the investment
performance process. In evaluating the quality of the services provided by the Fund Advisers, the Board and/or its Investment Committee
monitors Fund performance on an ongoing basis, which includes quarterly performance reporting at each of its quarterly meetings with an annual
performance review at its February 10-12, 2026 meeting (the “February Meeting”). At the February Meeting, the Board and/or its Investment
Committee considered, among other things, Fund performance (based on net asset value net of fees) over the quarter, one-, three- and five-year
periods ended December 31, 2025 on an absolute basis and as compared to the performance of comparable funds (the “Performance Peer Group”)
and to a benchmark for the prescribed periods. Prior to the Meeting, the Board also received updated Fund performance over various periods
ended March 31, 2026. The Board also 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 five-year period
ended December 31, 2025. 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 being the most desirable quartile ranking and the 4th quartile
being the least desirable. The Board considered, in particular, the performance of funds that met certain screening measurements as determined
pursuant to a methodology approved by the Board or additional measurements as determined by management’s investment analysts.
In evaluating performance, the Board considered some of the limitations of the performance data including, in particular, that differences between
a Nuveen fund and its Performance Peer Group and its benchmark (such as with respect to the investment objectives and strategies) may lead to
significantly different results. To assist the Board in its review of the comparability of the relative performance, management generally has ranked the
relevancy of a Performance Peer Group to the respective fund as low, medium or high. In addition, the Board considered, among other things, 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. The Board also considered that shareholders may evaluate performance based on their own respective holding
periods which may differ from the performance of the periods reviewed by the Board.
With respect to closed-end Nuveen funds, the Board also considered that secondary market trading of shares of the 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 reviewed certain
performance data reflecting, among other things, premium/discount data at their quarterly meetings with an annual review of the closed-end fund
market for the 2025 calendar year at the February Meeting. As applicable, the Board considered, among other things, the impact of leverage on a
closed-end fund’s common share earnings and total return.
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. From year to year, the Board may place different emphasis on
particular performance information given changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. 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.
62
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
(continued)
In evaluating performance, the Board focused particular attention on funds with less favorable performance records over various time periods in its
discussions with management. 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 as experiencing performance
issues, the Board seeks to discuss with the Adviser the reasons for the underperformance and any recommendations to improve performance and to
monitor such funds more closely until performance improves.
Additional Fund-specific performance factors for periods ending December 31, 2025 that the Board considered in addition to those described above
are set forth below in Section I.F.
With respect to each Fund, 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.
C. Fees, Expenses and Profitability
1. Fees and Expenses
As part of the annual review, the Board Members considered, among other things, the management fee schedules for the respective Fund. In
addition to the management fee arrangements, the Board Members considered a Fund’s operating expense ratio as it more directly reflected a
shareholder’s total costs in investing in the respective Fund.
In its review, the Board considered that the management fees of the Funds were generally comprised of two components, a fund-level component
and a complex-level component, each with its own breakpoint schedule. The Board considered that in 2024, the Board approved a revised complex-
wide breakpoint schedule which simplified and reduced 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. The Board considered that the complex-level component is
intended to be an efficient mechanism designed to help share cost efficiencies with shareholders as the complex-wide assets grow.
The Board also considered comparative fee and expense information prepared by Broadridge, an independent third-party provider of fund data.
More specifically, the Board Members generally considered, among other things, each Fund’s management fee rates and net total expense ratio in
relation to similar data for a comparable universe of peers (the “Expense Universe”). The Board 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) that
met certain expense screening criteria adopted by the Board when compared to its Expense Universe and management’s commentary as to the
factors contributing to each such fund’s relative net total expense ratio.
In evaluating the fees and expenses of the Nuveen funds and comparative rankings, the Board considered some of the limitations which may reduce
some of the value of the comparative data. In addition, the Board considered that the fee and expense information in the Broadridge report for
each fund reflected information for a specific period and that historic asset levels and expenses may differ from current levels, particularly in a period
of market volatility.
The Board Members also considered that it can be difficult to compare management fees among funds with peers as there are variations in the
services that are included for the fees paid. The Board Members took these differences into account in considering the comparative peer data.
The Board further considered, in relevant part, a fund’s management fee in light of its performance history with particular focus on any fund identified
as having a higher management fee and/or expense ratio compared to peers coupled with experiencing a period of challenged performance.
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 Nuveen 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 and therefore 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 the Adviser and Sub-Adviser (as applicable) given the increase of assets from leverage upon which an
advisory or sub-advisory fee is based but also considered the impact of leverage on the applicable fund’s return.
With respect to the 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 the Sub-Adviser is the
responsibility of the Adviser, not the Funds.
Additional Fund-specific comparative fee and expense data that the Board considered in addition to that described above is set forth in Section I.F
below. 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 requested and received information concerning the advisory fees and services provided
to other clients of the Adviser, affiliated sub-advisers and/or advisory affiliates which may include, among others: separately managed accounts
(“SMAs”), foreign funds (UCITS), other investment companies (as sub-advisers), limited partnerships and collective investment trusts (as applicable).
The Board considered certain fee data for these other types of clients managed in a similar manner to certain of the open-end funds compared to
the management fee of the applicable fund. The Board considered, among other things, that differences in the breadth of services provided to the
63
funds compared to other types of clients (including the differences in the level of advisory services required of passively managed funds compared
to actively managed funds); the expenses the Adviser and its affiliates incur in launching, operating and supporting a fund; the differences in
regulatory, disclosure and governance requirements applicable to funds and the infrastructure and activities necessary to support such requirements;
the establishment and maintenance of servicing relationships with various service providers for the funds; the differences in investment policies
and strategies, investor profiles and account sizes; and other factors all may contribute to the variations in relative fee rates. The Board, however,
considered that there were no comparable clients for the closed-end Nuveen funds. Further, the Board considered the differences in risks the
Adviser incurs, including entrepreneurial, legal and regulatory risks when sponsoring and managing funds compared to serving as adviser to other
types of clients or sub-adviser to other funds.
With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board further considered that the Sub-Adviser’s fee is essentially for portfolio management services and
therefore more comparable to the fees received for retail wrap accounts and other external sub-advisory mandates.
The Board concluded that the varying levels of fees were reasonable given the foregoing.
3. Profitability of Fund Advisers
In considering the costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Adviser (which encompassed the affiliated sub-advisers) from
its relationship with the Funds, the Board Members considered a variety of estimated profitability data from various perspectives including, among
other things, (a) historical pre-distribution and post-distribution margins over specified periods for the Adviser’s services to the applicable funds; (b)
certain profitability data on behalf of the Adviser (as well as the Adviser and TAL on a combined basis) attributable to servicing all applicable funds
for 2025 and 2024; (c) certain profitability data of both the Adviser and TAL on a combined basis derived from the type of fund in the aggregate
(i.e., from the closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, interval funds and open-end funds) for 2025 and 2024; and (d) certain profitability data of
both the Adviser and TAL on a combined basis provided by asset grouping of Nuveen funds in the aggregate (i.e., from equity, fund of funds, index,
municipal bond and taxable fixed income funds). In addition, the Board considered estimated profitability data at the per fund level for the Adviser.
In reviewing the profitability data, the Board Members recognized the subjective nature and difficulty in calculating profitability, particularly on a
per fund level. The Board considered that the information is not audited and is based on cost allocation methodologies seeking to allocate various
expenses throughout the complex and among the various advisory products. The Board Members considered the allocation methodology used
to prepare the profitability data but considered that other valid and reasonable methodologies also could be used and could lead to significantly
different profit and loss results.
Further, the Board considered Nuveen’s estimated profitability (pre- and post-distribution margins and pre-tax) from its services to the funds
compared to the profitability margins of certain peers. The Board Members, however, considered the inherent limitations of the comparative data
given that profitability data is only available from peers which publish publicly available information and may be affected by numerous factors
including, among other things, the types of funds a peer manages, its business mix, cost of capital, the assumptions and allocation methodology
used in developing its profitability data, and fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the peer(s).
Aside from the foregoing profitability data, the Board also considered the financial condition of TIAA. The Board Members considered certain
financial data of TIAA as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Board considered the benefit of an investment adviser and its parent with significant
resources, particularly during periods of market volatility.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Board Members also considered the indirect benefits the Adviser or Sub-Adviser 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 the Adviser’s (together with its affiliated sub-advisers) level of profitability from its relationship with the applicable Fund was not
unreasonable 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 Nuveen funds, whether these economies
of scale have been appropriately shared with the funds and whether there is potential for realization of further economies of scale as a fund and/or
the complex grows larger. The Board considered the difficulty in measuring economies of scale with any precision but considered the various means
the Fund Advisers employ to help share the benefits of economies of scale with the respective funds and their shareholders.
The Board considered the Funds’ advisory fee structure, including breakpoint schedules (as applicable). The Board considered that the management
fees of the funds generally are comprised of a fund-level component and a complex-level component, each with its own breakpoint schedule,
subject to certain exceptions. The Board considered that in 2024, the Board revised the breakpoint schedule which reduced the complex-level fee
rates at various thresholds and expanded the assets included in calculating the complex-level fee rates. The Board considered that the complex-
level breakpoint schedule was designed to share the benefits of economies of scale with the participating funds as a result of an increase in the asset
size of the complex even if the particular fund has not grown or has even declined in asset size, whereas a fund-level breakpoint schedule seeks to
share economies of scale with shareholders if the particular fund grows. The Board considered the fee reductions achieved overall from the fund-
level breakpoints and the complex-level breakpoints for the 2025 calendar year. With respect to closed-end funds, the Board considered the limited
ability of closed-end funds to increase their assets as fund growth is primarily a result of portfolio appreciation with some funds occasionally raising
assets in rights offerings and shelf offerings. In addition, the Board considered the Adviser’s and/or affiliates’ ongoing investments in their business,
including investments in various technology initiatives from which the fund complex may benefit as well as 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 for participating funds.
The Board further considered that the scope of services of the Adviser and its affiliates have expanded over time without raising advisory fees to the
funds, and this was also a means of sharing economies of scale with the funds and their shareholders.
64
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
(continued)
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 Nuveen funds. These benefits include, among other things, fees paid to affiliates of the Adviser for services
as noted below, the sharing of personnel and investment-related infrastructure with other clients of the Adviser, the use of affiliated sub-advisers in
which case all the advisory revenue generated from such funds remains within Nuveen, and the use of certain funds as investment options for other
products offered by the Adviser and/or its affiliates (such as life insurance separate account products, fund of funds or 529 education savings plans).
Further, the funds may pay the Adviser and/or its affiliates for other services, such as distribution. In this regard, the Board Members considered that
an affiliate of the Adviser serves as principal underwriter providing distribution and/or shareholder services to the open-end funds for which it may
be compensated. To the extent an open-end fund pays 12b-1 fees, the Board Members considered that some of those fees may be retained by the
Adviser’s affiliate. In addition, the Board considered that an affiliate of the Adviser received compensation in 2025 for serving as an underwriter on
shelf offerings of existing closed-end Nuveen funds and reviewed the amounts paid for such services in 2025 and 2024.
In addition, the Board Members considered that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser may utilize soft dollar brokerage arrangements attributable to the
respective funds to obtain research and other services for any or all of their clients but such costs are reimbursed to the funds.
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 non-profit 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 Funds were
reasonable in light of the services provided.
F. Additional Fund-Specific Factors
For each Fund, set forth below are (i) additional Fund-specific performance factors for periods ending December 31, 2025 that the Board considered
in addition to those described above; and (ii) additional Fund-specific comparative fee and expense data that the Board considered in addition to
that described above.

G. 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
Fund and that the Advisory Agreements be renewed for an additional one-year period.
II. Subsequent Approvals of Advisory Agreements
As noted above, the 1940 Act provides, in general terms, that an advisory and sub-advisory agreement may continue in effect for a period of more
than two years only so long as the board, including a majority of the disinterested trustees, approves its continuance. During the annual review,
management and the Board proposed, in relevant part, to reset the annual review schedule for the advisory and sub-advisory agreements of the
Nuveen funds to permit the agreements to continue for a one-year period until August 1st the following year as opposed to the existing May 1st
annual deadline.
At its May Meeting, with respect to the Funds, the Board approved the Investment Management Agreements with certain minor changes and the
Sub-Advisory Agreements to continue through July 31, 2027. As part of its review of the foregoing arrangements, the Board, through independent
legal counsel, requested and received information regarding, among other things, the proposed renewal of the Advisory Agreements.
In their review, the Board Members considered that they had recently completed their annual review of the Advisory Agreements at the Meeting and
many of the factors considered at the annual review were applicable to their evaluation of the continuance of the Advisory Agreements. Accordingly,
in evaluating the respective advisory and sub-advisory agreements, the Board Members relied upon their knowledge and experience with the
Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and considered the information received and their evaluations and conclusions drawn at the annual review. The
Board considered management’s representation that the information and materials provided in connection with the annual review of the Advisory
Agreements at the Meeting remained unchanged in all material respects. Further, with respect to the continuance of the Advisory Agreements, the
Board considered the terms of such agreements with certain minor changes as appropriate to reflect the Restructuring.
