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 Class W shares of other Nuveen mutual funds and ETFs to track market indices across equity and fixed-income sectors. Its asset allocation glides from more aggressive to more conservative as it approaches and passes its 2020 target retirement date, reaching a final allocation of approximately 20% equity and 80% fixed-income by 2050. The fund maintains at least 80% of assets in index-tracking underlying funds, with current targets of roughly 44% equity and 56% fixed-income, though actual allocations may vary by up to ten percentage points from targets.

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 1.50pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.30pp 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.
