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 domestic and foreign equities and fixed-income securities. Its asset allocation automatically shifts from more aggressive to more conservative as its 2025 target retirement date approaches and for approximately 30 years thereafter, moving toward a final allocation of roughly 20% equity and 80% fixed-income. The fund maintains at least 80% of assets in index-tracking underlying funds, with actual allocations potentially varying up to ten percentage points from stated targets.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +16.60% | +39.22% | +32.22% | 7.25% | -6.94% | |

| +16.51% | +38.94% | +31.71% | 7.24% | -6.95% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 1.69pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.34pp 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.
