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 U.S. equity, international equity, and fixed-income sectors. Its target asset allocation shifts gradually from more aggressive to more conservative as its 2050 target retirement date approaches and for approximately 30 years thereafter, eventually reaching a final allocation of 20% equity and 80% fixed-income by 2080. Actual allocations may vary up to ten percentage points from targets within each asset class and market sector.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +27.42% | +63.78% | +57.33% | 11.78% | -9.20% | |

| +27.38% | +63.55% | +56.78% | 11.78% | -9.22% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 1.93pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.39pp 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.
