Nuveen Small Cap Blend Index Fund
U.S. stock index fund · tracks Russell 2000 Index
As of its 2026 Q2 report, Nuveen Small Cap Blend Index Fund held 1,928 positions with $3.95B in net assets. Its ten largest holdings made up 9.4% of the fund. The TISBX share class costs 0.05% a year. Over the 12 months to May 2026, TISBX returned 41.1%, with dividends reinvested. In 2026 Q3 it added 245 new positions and exited 202.
The Fund seeks a favorable long-term total return, mainly through capital appreciation, by investing primarily in a portfolio of equity securities in smaller domestic companies based on a market index.
The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities in the Russell 2000 Index, buying most but not necessarily all of the stocks in that index to closely match its overall investment characteristics. Because the fund's returns are reduced by transaction costs and fees while the index return is not, the fund's performance will lag its benchmark.

How it has done
TISBX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 14.52%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 and Jul 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
The 3 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.05% | +41.09% | +71.63% | +36.34% | -18.85% | |
| 0.30% | +40.74% | +70.34% | +34.57% | -18.91% | |
| 0.17% | +40.99% | +71.06% | +35.44% | -18.80% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 1.77pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.35pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
