Nuveen International Equity Fund
Actively managed developed international stock fund
As of its 2026 Q2 report, Nuveen International Equity Fund held 72 positions with $5.49B in net assets. Its ten largest holdings made up 28.0% of the fund. The TIIEX share class costs 0.45% a year.

The Fund seeks a favorable long-term total return, mainly through capital appreciation, primarily from equity securities of foreign issuers.
The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of foreign issuers across at least three countries, selecting individual stocks based on management's assessment of free cash flow generation, market share strength, and valuation relative to earnings and long-term growth prospects. The adviser actively manages the portfolio while regularly reviewing sector and country exposure against the MSCI EAFE Index to control risk. Because country and regional allocations emerge from individual stock selection rather than being set in advance, the fund's exposure may diverge meaningfully from its benchmark.

How it has done
TIIEX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 14.11%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 and Jul 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
The 6 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.45% | +21.74% | +59.72% | +40.88% | -9.35% | |
| 0.70% | +21.43% | +58.44% | +39.10% | -9.34% | |
| 0.82% | +21.38% | +58.14% | +38.75% | -9.40% | |
| 0.60% | +21.66% | +59.14% | +40.02% | -9.35% | |
| 0.55% | +21.73% | +59.26% | +40.24% | -9.38% | |
| 0.00% | +22.40% | +61.97% | +44.31% | -9.27% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 5.56pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.11pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
