Nuveen International Equity Index Fund
Developed international stock index fund · tracks MSCI EAFE Index
As of its 2026 Q2 report, Nuveen International Equity Index Fund held 732 positions with $34.52B in net assets. Its ten largest holdings made up 14.1% of the fund. The TCIEX share class costs 0.05% a year. Over the 12 months to May 2026, TCIEX returned 19.9%, with dividends reinvested. In 2026 Q3 it added 27 new positions and exited 60.
The Fund seeks a favorable long-term total return, mainly through capital appreciation, by investing primarily in a portfolio of foreign equity investments based on a market index.
The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in securities of the MSCI EAFE Index, which measures equity performance in developed markets outside the U.S. and Canada, and attempts to closely match the overall investment characteristics of that index by buying most of its constituent stocks. Because the fund's returns are reduced by investment expenses and trading costs while an index return is not, the fund's performance will lag its benchmark.

How it has done
TCIEX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 13.09%. 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 5 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.05% | +19.87% | +60.99% | +49.28% | -10.19% | |
| 0.30% | +19.59% | +59.84% | +47.46% | -10.21% | |
| 0.20% | +19.74% | +60.34% | +48.22% | -10.17% | |
| 0.18% | +19.78% | +60.53% | +48.49% | -10.16% | |
| 0.00% | +20.00% | +61.29% | +49.71% | -10.14% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 2.25pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.45pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
