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 implement a target-date strategy for a 2050 retirement year. The fund's asset allocation automatically shifts from more aggressive to more conservative as the target retirement date approaches and for approximately 30 years thereafter, moving from a current allocation of roughly 90% equities and 5% real estate toward a final allocation of 20% equities and 80% fixed income. The fund maintains significant equity exposure through and beyond its target retirement date, which could produce substantial fluctuations in value depending on equity market performance.

The 4 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.44% | +23.28% | +64.73% | +51.94% | -8.81% | |
| 0.69% | +23.03% | +63.51% | +50.07% | -8.83% | |
| 0.59% | +23.06% | +63.91% | +50.72% | -8.85% | |
| 0.52% | +23.25% | +64.42% | +51.53% | -8.81% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 1.87pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.37pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
