Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q3
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, and direct real estate. The asset allocation shifts gradually from more aggressive to more conservative as the fund approaches its 2030 target retirement year and continues to shift for approximately 30 years thereafter, ultimately reaching a final allocation heavily weighted toward fixed-income and away from equities and real estate. The fund maintains meaningful equity exposure throughout and beyond its target date, which can cause significant fluctuations in value based on equity market performance.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
| Share class | 1-year | 3-year | 5-year | Vol | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +17.12% | +39.36% | +30.50% | 7.96% | -6.93% | |

| +17.35% | +40.03% | +31.78% | 7.95% | -6.98% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 1.73pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.35pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
May 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
