The Fund seeks high total return over time through a combination of capital appreciation and income.
The fund is a fund of funds that invests in shares of other Nuveen mutual funds and ETFs to build a diversified portfolio of equities, fixed-income securities, real estate, and inflation-protected assets. The asset allocation shifts gradually from more aggressive to more conservative as the fund's target retirement year of 2025 approaches and continues to become more conservative over approximately 30 years thereafter, eventually reaching a final allocation heavily weighted toward fixed-income and away from equities and real estate. The fund's returns will reflect the performance of its underlying funds across domestic and foreign markets, varying maturities and credit qualities, and direct real estate holdings.

The 4 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.64% | +14.29% | +38.55% | +27.71% | -6.38% | |
| 0.39% | +14.61% | +39.76% | +29.35% | -6.28% | |
| 0.54% | +14.39% | +39.02% | +28.43% | -6.32% | |
| 0.47% | +14.63% | +39.55% | +29.07% | -6.39% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 1.64pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.33pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
