Chair’s Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

In 2021, we have seen a nearly full recovery in the economy and began to approach more normalcy in our daily lives, enabled by unprecedented help from governments and central banks and the development of effective COVID-19 vaccines and therapies. However, the newly discovered omicron variant is a reminder that pandemic risks are still with us, which has created uncertainty about the economic outlook in the coming year and contributed to recent short-term volatility in the markets.

As some factors that drove 2021’s rebound fade and the pandemic continues to pose some downside risk, global economic growth is expected to be slower but remain expansionary. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve has begun winding down its pandemic bond buying program and could begin raising short-term interest rates in 2022. The crisis-related fiscal stimulus totaling $5.3 trillion to support individuals and families, small and large businesses, state and local governments, education, public health and vaccinations will also phase out. Government spending will be lower from here but should continue to aid the global recovery in the coming year. In the U.S., the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act recently went into effect on November 15, 2021, funding upgrades to road, rail and air transportation, broadband internet, and power and water systems. Europe, Japan and China are also expected to roll out additional fiscal support in 2022.

Investors will continue to closely monitor inflation. The spread of the COVID-19 delta variant in 2021 exacerbated shortages of raw materials and labor and disrupted transportation and logistics, which contributed to inflation staying elevated for longer than expected. This prompted some central banks to begin withdrawing monetary stimulus measures and others to raise interest rates. The timing of monetary policy normalization will be a key focus in the markets, as will the progression of the virus, which can be difficult to predict given uneven vaccination rates around the world and the potential for new variants.

We anticipate periodic volatility as markets digest incoming data on economic activity levels, inflation, interest rates and COVID-19, as well as their impacts to consumer behavior and corporate profits. Short-term market fluctuations can provide your Fund opportunities to invest in new ideas as well as upgrade existing positioning while providing long-term value for shareholders. For more than 120 years, the careful consideration of risk and reward has guided Nuveen’s focus on delivering long-term results to our shareholders.

As the global economy shifts from the fast recovery phase to a new phase of expansion potentially impacted by inflations and new COVID strains, it may be an opportune time to assess your portfolio. We encourage you to review your time horizon, risk tolerance and investment goals with your financial professional.

On behalf of the other members of the Nuveen Fund Board, I look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.

Terence J. Toth

Chair of the Board

Portfolio Managers’ Comments

Nuveen Core Impact Bond Managed Accounts Portfolio

The Fund was developed exclusively for use within Nuveen-sponsored separately managed accounts, and is a specialized bond portfolio to be used in combination with selected individual securities to effectively model institutional-level investment strategies. The Fund enables certain Nuveen separately managed account investors to achieve greater diversification and return potential than smaller managed accounts might otherwise achieve by investing in additional fixed-income classes, including those that have a lower credit quality and potentially higher yielding securities in order to gain access to special investment opportunities normally available only to institutional investors.

The Fund is managed by Nuveen Asset Management LLC, an affiliate of Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC, the Fund’s investment adviser. Stephen Liberatore, CFA, and Jessica M. Zarzycki, CFA, have served as portfolio managers for the Fund since its inception in July 2020.

On April 22, 2021, the Nuveen Fund Board approved a policy change in the Nuveen Core Impact Bond Managed Accounts Portfolio. Under the new policy, the Fund may invest up to 40% of its assets in securities of foreign issuers, including those that are located in emerging market countries. Under the previous policy, the Fund could invest up to 25% of its assets in securities of foreign issuers, including those that are located in emerging market countries.

Here the portfolio management team discusses economic and market conditions, key investment strategies and the Fund’s performance for the twelve-month reporting period ended October 31, 2021. For more information on the Fund’s investment objectives and policies, please refer to the prospectus.

What factors affected the U.S. economy and bond markets during the twelve-month reporting period ended October 31, 2021?

Supported by massive fiscal and monetary stimulus and economic reopening, the U.S. economy rebounded more quickly than expected from the deep downturn caused by the COVID-19 crisis and containment measures. The federal government’s relief measures have totaled approximately $5.3 trillion across six aid packages, which included direct payments to individuals and families, expanded unemployment insurance, loans to large and small businesses, funding for hospitals and health agencies, state and local governments, education and public health/vaccinations. Additionally, while not technically a pandemic spending measure, the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that funds improvements to roads/bridges, broadband internet, airports and ports, and water and power systems was signed into law after the close of this reporting period on November 15, 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) has maintained short-term interest rates near zero and enacted credit facilities to help keep the financial system stable, lowering borrowing costs for businesses and individuals.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)

By the start of this reporting period, markets had largely stabilized from the initial shock of the health crisis. To recap, in March 2020, equity and commodity markets sold off and safe-haven assets rallied as countries initiated quarantines, restricted travel and shuttered factories and businesses, while an ill-timed oil price war between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-OPEC member Russia further amplified oil price volatility. In late 2020, the announcement of high efficacy rates in several COVID 19 vaccine trials, followed by regulatory authorizations and public vaccination drives across Western countries, improved the outlook for 2021, which contributed to risk-on sentiment in the markets. The positive sentiment was realized during the first half of 2021 as U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) expanded at an annualized rate of 6.3% in the first quarter of 2021 and 6.7% in the second quarter of 2021. However, economic growth slowed considerably in the third quarter of 2021 to a 2.1% annualized rate, dampened by the spread of the COVID-19 delta variant and constricted supply chains, according to the “second” estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Although supply bottlenecks, labor shortages and higher inflation have weighed on economic growth in the short term, consumer demand remains strong. Given the U.S. economy’s progress, the Fed began signaling a timeline for tapering pandemic monetary support by reducing its monthly bond purchases (which was initially announced at the November 2021 policy meeting, after the close of this reporting period), as well as suggested interest rate normalization that could start later in 2022. In addition to monetary policy tightening, markets remained concerned about the political gridlock over raising the debt ceiling – the amount the U.S. government is allowed to borrow. (After the close of this reporting period, the government approved a $2.5 trillion increase to the debt limit, averting a default at the end of 2021.)

During the reporting period, fixed income markets remained focused on the global economic recovery. Interest rates moved higher, with some elevated volatility toward the end of the reporting period as markets repriced the unwinding of pandemic-related central bank support and uncertainty as to whether inflation would be transitory or persistent. Nevertheless, conditions remained supportive of spread sector performance, as interest rates remained near historically low levels, central bank policies stayed accommodative and economic activity continued to rebound. Strong investor demand for bonds offering higher yields than government debt continued to readily absorb supply issuance, contributing to a meaningful tightening of credit spreads during the reporting period.

What strategies were used to manage the Fund during the twelve-month reporting period ended October 31, 2021?

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek total return, primarily through current income, while giving special consideration to certain environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) criteria. The Fund continued to invest in a broadly diversified portfolio that focuses on impact securities. Although the Fund remained constructive regarding overall positioning, it made adjustments and moved lower in the credit spectrum in response to accelerating vaccine deployment, continued accommodative monetary policy and increased fiscal stimulus. Holdings continued to be selected based upon the Fund’s impact framework or on ESG leadership criteria.

How did the Fund perform during the twelve-month reporting period ended October 31, 2021?

For the twelve-month reporting period ended October 31, 2021, the Fund outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. For purposes of this Performance Commentary, references to relative performance are in comparison to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

For the reporting period, the largest positive driver of the Fund’s relative performance was asset allocation. Particularly beneficial was the Fund’s overweight to corporate debt and taxable municipal bonds along with its underweight to Treasury bonds. Within the Fund’s corporate bond holdings, the high yield allocation was particularly beneficial to relative performance. The vaccine rollout, reopening of the U.S. economy and continued fiscal support contributed to the outperformance of the high yield sector. A top performer in the high yield corporate bond allocation was the Fund’s position in the debt of Starwood Property REIT, which benefited from the tailwinds referenced above. The Fund continues to hold the position on the view that it can add incremental value over time because of its strong credit fundamentals and competitive advantages. In investment grade corporate bonds, the Fund’s exposure to sectors that were positively linked to the reopening of the U.S. economy was beneficial to relative performance which was led by overweight positions in investment grade consumer cyclicals and food and beverage credits.

Favorable security selection in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) also contributed to performance. The Fund’s position in the Century Plaza Tower 2019-CPT Mortgage Trust, which is secured primarily by two LEED-certified office buildings in Los

6

Angeles, was the Fund’s largest individual contributor to performance. Like the Starwood Property REIT holding, the Century Plaza Tower holding benefited from the U.S. reopening and economic recovery. The portfolio management team remains constructive on the holding’s underlying fundamentals, including its high barrier to entry combined with high quality tenants on long-term leases, and continues to hold the position.

The Fund had limited detractors in this reporting period. However, its yield curve and duration positioning partially offset the outperformance led by its longer duration and, in particular, its overweight to the 10-year segment of the curve.

Risk Considerations and Dividend Information

Risk Considerations

Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. There is no guarantee the Fund’s investment objectives will be achieved. The Fund will include only holdings deemed consistent with the applicable Environmental Social Governance (ESG) guidelines. As a result, the universe of investments available to the Fund will be more limited than other funds that do not apply such guidelines. ESG criteria risk is the risk that because the Fund’s ESG criteria exclude securities of certain issuers for nonfinancial reasons, the Fund may forgo some market opportunities available to funds that don’t use these criteria. Credit risk arises from an issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments when due, as well as the prices of bonds declining when an issuer’s credit quality is expected to deteriorate. Interest rate risk occurs when interest rates rise causing bond prices to fall. The issuer of a debt security may be able to repay principal prior to the security’s maturity, known as prepayment (call) risk, because of an improvement in its credit quality or falling interest rates. In this event, this principal may have to be reinvested in securities with lower interest rates than the original securities, reducing the potential for income. Non-U.S. investments involve risks such as currency fluctuation, political and economic instability, lack of liquidity and differing legal and accounting standards. Investments in below investment grade or high yield securities are subject to liquidity risk and heightened credit risk. These and other risk considerations, such as active management, extension, issuer, illiquid investments, income volatility, and derivatives risk, are described in detail in the Fund’s prospectus.

Dividend Information

The Fund seeks to pay regular monthly dividends out of its net investment income at a rate that reflects its past and projected net income performance. The Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net income actually earned by the Fund during the period. Distributions to shareholders are determined on a tax basis, which may differ from amounts recorded in the accounting records. In instances where the monthly dividend exceeds the earned net investment income, the Fund would report a negative undistributed net ordinary income. Refer to Note 6 – Income Tax Information for additional information regarding the amounts of undistributed net ordinary income and undistributed net long-term capital gains and the character of the actual distributions paid by the Fund during the period.

All monthly dividends paid by the Fund during the current reporting period, were paid from net investment income. If a portion of the Fund’s monthly distributions was sourced from or comprised of elements other than net investment income, including capital gains and/or a return of capital, shareholders will be notified of those sources. For financial reporting purposes, the per share amounts of the Fund’s distributions for the reporting period are presented in this report’s Financial Highlights. For income tax purposes, distribution information for the Fund as of its most recent tax year end is presented in Note 6 – Income Tax Information within the Notes to Financial Statements of this report.

Fund Performance

and Expense Ratios

This is a specialized bond Fund developed exclusively for use within Nuveen-sponsored seperately managed accounts.

Fund Performance

Returns quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.

Total returns for a period less than one year are not annualized (i.e. cumulative returns). Since inception returns are shown for share classes that have less than 10-years of performance. Fund shares have no sales charge. Returns assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. For performance, current to the most recent month-end visit nuveen.com or call (800) 257-8787.

Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Income is generally exempt from regular federal income taxes. Some income may be subject to state and local income taxes and to the federal alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to tax.

Returns may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the investment adviser during the periods presented. If any such waivers and/or reimbursements had not been in place, returns would have been reduced. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 7—Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates for more information.

Expense Ratios

The expense ratios shown are as of the Fund’s most recent prospectus. The expense ratios shown reflect total operating expenses (before fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement, if any). Refer to the Financial Highlights later in this report for the Fund’s expense ratios as of the end of the reporting period.

Yields    as of October 31, 2021

Dividend Yield is the most recent dividend per share (annualized) divided by the offering price per share.

The SEC 30-Day Yield is a standardized measure of a Fund’s yield that accounts for the future amortization of premiums or discounts of bonds held in the fund’s portfolio. The SEC 30-Day Yield is computed under an SEC standardized formula and is based on the maximum offer price per share. Subsidized yields reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements from the investment adviser during the period. If any such waivers and/or reimbursements had not been in place, yields would have been reduced. Unsubsidized yields do not reflect waivers and/or reimbursements from the investment adviser during the period. If the fund did not receive a fee waiver/expense reimbursement during the period under its most recent agreement, subsidized and unsubsidized yields will be equal. Refer to the Notes to Financial Statements, Note 7 – Management Fees for further details on the investment adviser’s most recent agreement with the Fund to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses, where applicable. Dividend Yield may differ from the SEC 30-Day Yield because the fund may be paying out more or less than it is earning and it may not include the effect of amortization of bond premium or discounts.

Dividend Yield	2.80%
SEC 30-Day Yield – Subsidized	2.66%
SEC 30-Day Yield – Unsubsidized1	(0.49)%

1 A negative SEC 30-Day Yield results when accrued expenses of the past 30 days exceed the income generated during the past 30 days.

Expense

Examples

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including up-front and back-end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees, where applicable; and other Fund expenses. The Examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the period ended October 31, 2021.

The beginning of the period is May 1, 2021.

The information under “Actual Performance,” together with the amount you invested, allows you to estimate actual expenses incurred over the reporting period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the cost shown for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Incurred During Period” to estimate the expenses incurred on your account during this period.

The information under “Hypothetical Performance,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you incurred for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the following tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds or share classes. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Actual Performance
Beginning Account Value	$	1,000.00
Ending Account Value	$	1,025.32
Expenses Incurred During the Period	$	—
Hypothetical Performance (5% annualized return before expenses)
Beginning Account Value	$	1,000.00
Ending Account Value	$	1,025.21
Expenses Incurred During the Period	$	—

Expenses are equal to Fund’s annualized net expense ratio of 0.00% multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year ended October 31, 2021, and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2021 and for the period July 9, 2020 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, agent bank and brokers; when replies were not received from the agent bank or brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

For Fund portfolio compliance purposes, the Fund’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industry sub-classifications into sectors for reporting ease.

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets.

(2) For financial reporting purposes, the ratings disclosed are the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. This treatment of split-rated securities may differ from that used for other purposes, such as for Fund investment policies. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies. Ratings are not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm.

(3) Variable rate security. The rate shown is the coupon as of the end of the reporting period.

(4) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns. Optional Call Provisions are not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm.

(5) Senior loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically adjusted by reference to a base short-term, floating lending rate (Reference Rate) plus an assigned fixed rate (Spread). These floating lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate referenced by the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), or (ii) the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks. Senior loans may be considered restricted in that the Fund ordinarily is contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the disposition of a senior loan. The rate shown is the coupon as of the end of the reporting period.

(6) Senior Loans generally are subject to mandatory and/or optional prepayment. Because of these mandatory prepayment conditions and because there may be significant economic incentives for a borrower to prepay, prepayments of senior loans may occur. As a result, the actual remaining maturity of senior loans held may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown.

144A Investment is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These investments may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration, which are normally those transactions with qualified institutional buyers.

LIBOR London Inter-Bank Offered Rate

WI/DD Purchased on a when issued or delayed delivery basis.

Reg S Regulation S allows U.S. companies to sell securities to persons or entities located outside of the United States without registering those securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Specifically, Regulation S provides a safe harbor from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for the offers and sales of securities by both foreign and domestic issuers that are made outside the United States.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. General Information

Trust and Fund Information

The Nuveen Managed Accounts Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended. The Trust is comprised of Nuveen Core Impact Bond Managed Accounts Portfolio (the “Fund”), as a diversified fund, among others. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on November 14, 2006.

The Fund is developed exclusively for use within separately managed accounts by Nuveen LLC (“Nuveen”). The Fund is a specialized bond portfolio to be used in combination with selected individual securities to effectively model institutional-level investment strategies. The Fund enables certain Nuveen separately managed account investors to achieve greater diversification and return potential than smaller managed accounts might otherwise achieve by investing in additional fixed-income classes, including those that have a lower credit quality and potentially higher yielding securities in order to gain access to special investment opportunities normally available only to institutional investors.

The end of the reporting period for the Fund is October 31, 2021, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021 (the current fiscal period).

Investment Adviser and Sub-Adviser

The Fund’s investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a subsidiary of Nuveen. Nuveen is the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA). The Adviser has overall responsibility for management of the Fund, oversees the management of the Fund’s portfolio, manages the Fund’s business affairs and provides certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services, and, if necessary, asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), a subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolio of the Fund.

Other Matters

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and subsequent global pandemic began significantly impacting the U.S. and global financial markets and economies during the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2020. The worldwide spread of COVID-19 has created significant uncertainty in the global economy. The duration and extent of COVID-19 over the long term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 and the extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Fund’s normal course of business, results of operations, investments, and cash flows will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. Management continues to monitor and evaluate this situation.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require the use of estimates made by management and the evaluation of subsequent events. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The net asset value (“NAV”) for financial reporting purposes may differ from the NAV for processing security and shareholder transactions. The NAV for financial reporting purposes includes security and shareholder transactions through the date of the report. Total return is computed based on the NAV used for processing security and shareholder transactions. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.

Compensation

The Trust pays no compensation directly to those of its trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen-advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen-advised funds.

Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount, character and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties.

24

The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Investments and Investment Income

Securities transactions are accounted for as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are based upon the specific identification method. Investment income is comprised of interest income, which is recorded on an accrual basis and included the accretion of discounts and the amortization of premiums for financial reporting purposes. Investment income also reflects payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest and paydown gains and losses, if any. PIK interest represents income received in the form of securities in lieu of cash.

Netting Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Fund may enter into transactions subject to enforceable International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) master agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows each Fund to offset certain securities and derivatives with a specific counterparty, when applicable, as well as any collateral received or delivered to that counter-party based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, the Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis.

The Fund’s investments subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, if any, are further described in Note 4 – Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Rule Issuances

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The main objective of the new guidance is to provide relief to companies that will be impacted by the expected change in benchmark interest rates, when participating banks will no longer be required to submit London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) quotes by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The new guidance allows companies to, provided the only change to existing contracts are a change to an approved benchmark interest rate, account for modifications as a continuance of the existing contract without additional analysis. For new and existing contracts, the Funds may elect to apply the amendments as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has not yet elected to apply the amendments, is continuously evaluating the potential effect a discontinuation of LIBOR could have on the Funds’ investments and has currently determined that it is unlikely the ASU’s adoption will have a significant impact on the Funds’ financial statements and various filings.

Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Adopts New Rules to Modernize Fund Valuation Framework

In December 2020, the SEC voted to adopt a new rule governing fund valuation practices. New Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, which requires a fund to fair value a security when market quotations are not readily available. The SEC also adopted new Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act, which sets forth the recordkeeping requirements associated with fair value determinations. Finally, the SEC is rescinding previously issued guidance on related issues, including the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4 became effective on March 8, 2021, with a compliance date of September 8, 2022. A fund may voluntarily comply with the rules after the effective date, and in advance of the compliance date, under certain conditions. Management is currently assessing the impact of these provisions on the Fund’s financial statements.

3. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements

The Funds’ investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value utilizing valuation methods approved by the Board. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. U.S. GAAP establishes the three-tier hierarchy which is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect management’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.

Level 1 –	Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 –	Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit spreads, etc.).
Level 3 –	Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major classifications of assets and liabilities measured at fair value follows:

Prices of fixed-income securities are generally provided by an independent pricing service (“pricing service”) approved by the Board. The pricing service establishes a security’s fair value using methods that may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer or market activity provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2.

Any portfolio security or derivative for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they would be classified as Level 3.

The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund’s investments as of the end of the reporting period, based on the inputs used to value them:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Long-Term Investments*:
Corporate Bonds	$	—	$	6,607,571	$	—	$	6,607,571

4. Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives

Portfolio Securities

Securities Lending

Effective November 16, 2020, the Fund may lend securities representing up to one-third of the value of its total assets to broker-dealers, banks, and other institutions in order to generate additional income. When loaning securities, the Fund retains the benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. The loans are continuous, can be recalled at any time, and have no set maturity. The Fund’s custodian, State Street Bank and Trust Company, serves as the securities lending agent (the “Agent”).

When the Fund loans its portfolio securities, it will receive, at the inception of each loan, cash collateral equal to an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. The actual percentage of the cash collateral will vary depending upon the asset type of the loaned securities. Collateral for the loaned securities is invested in a government money market vehicle maintained by the Agent, which is subject to the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The value of the loaned securities and the liability to return the cash collateral received are recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. If the market value of the loaned securities increases, the borrower must furnish additional collateral to the Fund, which is also recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities out on loan are subject to termination at any time at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower is required to return to the Fund securities identical to the securities loaned. During the term of the loan, the Fund bears the market risk with respect to the investment of collateral and the risk that the Agent may default on its contractual obligations to the Fund. The Agent bears the risk that the borrower may default on its obligation to return the loaned securities as the Agent is contractually obligated to indemnify the Fund if at the time of a default by a borrower some or all of the loan securities have not been returned.

Securities lending income recognized by the Fund consists of earnings on invested collateral and lending fees, net of any rebates to the borrower and compensation to the Agent. Such income is recognized on the Statements of Operations.

As of the end of the reporting period, the Fund did not have any securities out on loan.

Zero Coupon Securities

A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.

Investment Transactions

Long-term purchases and sales (including maturities) during the current fiscal period aggregated $10,328,509 and $9,779,357 respectively.

26

The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may have extended settlement periods; interest income is not accrued until settlement date. Any securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Fund has earmarked securities in its portfolio with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. If the Fund has outstanding when-issued/delayed-delivery purchases commitments as of the end of the reporting period, such amounts are recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Investments in Derivatives

The Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap contracts. The Fund records derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes.

Although the Fund is authorized to invest in derivative instruments, and may do so in the future, it did not make any such investments during the current fiscal period.

Market and Counterparty Credit Risk

In the normal course of business the Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of the Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when the Fund has an unrealized loss, the Fund has instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Fund as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount.

5. Fund Shares

Transactions in Fund shares during the current and prior fiscal period were as follows:

	Year Ended 10/31/21				For the Period 7/09/20 (commencement of operations) through 10/31/20
	Shares		Amount		Shares		Amount
Shares sold		—	$	—		1,019,900	$	10,199,000
Shares issued to shareholders due to reinvestment of distributions		28,562		282,702		2,365		23,471
Net increase (decrease)		28,562	$	282,702		1,022,265	$	10,222,471

6. Income Tax Information

The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. In any year when the Fund realizes net capital gains, the Fund may choose to distribute all or a portion of its net capital gains to shareholders, or alternatively, to retain all or a portion of its net capital gains and pay federal corporate income taxes on such retained gains.

For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Fund is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the NAV of the Fund.

27

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

The table below presents the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of the Fund’s investment portfolio, as determined on a federal income tax basis, as of October 31, 2021.

Tax cost of investments	$	10,403,685
Gross unrealized:
Appreciation	$	69,572
Depreciation		(190,389	)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments	$	(120,817	)

Permanent differences, primarily due to bond premium amortization adjustments, and paydowns resulted in reclassifications among the Fund’s components of net assets as of October 31, 2021, the Fund’s tax year end.

The tax components of undistributed net ordinary income as of October 31, 2021, the Fund’s tax year end, were as follows:

Undistributed net ordinary income¹ $ 29,201

¹  Net ordinary income consists of taxable market discount income and net short-term capital gains, if any.

The tax character of distributions paid during the Fund’s tax years ended October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020 was designated for purposes of the dividends paid deduction as follows:

2021
Distributions from net ordinary income1	$	282,702
2020
Distributions from net ordinary income1	$	23,471

¹  Net ordinary income consists of taxable market discount income and net short-term capital gains, if any.

As of October 31, 2021, the Fund’s tax year end, the Fund had unused capital losses carrying forward available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future capital gains, if any. The capital losses are not subject to expiration.

Not subject to expiration:
Short-term	$	21,215
Long-term		30,056
Total	$	51,271

7. Management Fees

The Adviser does not charge any management fees or other expenses directly to the Fund. The Adviser has agreed irrevocably during the existence of the Fund to waive all fees and pay or reimburse all expenses of the Fund (excluding interest expense, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses). The Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are compensated for their services to the Fund from the fee charged at the separately managed account level.

Other Transactions with Affiliates

As of the end of the reporting period, the percentage of Fund shares owned by TIAA are as follows:

TIAA owned shares 98%

8. Borrowing Arrangements

Committed Line of Credit

The Fund, along with certain other funds managed by the Adviser (“Participating Funds”), have established a 364-day, $2.635 billion standby credit facility with a group of lenders, under which the Participating Funds may borrow for temporary purposes (other than on-going leveraging for investment purposes). Each Participating Fund is allocated a designated proportion of the facility’s capacity (and its associated costs, as described below) based upon a multifactor assessment of the likelihood and frequency of its need to draw on the facility, the size of the Fund and its anticipated draws, and the potential importance of such draws to the operations and well-being of the Fund, relative to those of the other Funds. A Fund may effect draws on the facility in excess of its designated capacity if and to the extent that other Participating Funds have undrawn capacity. The credit facility expires in June 2022 unless extended or renewed.

The credit facility has the following terms: 0.15% per annum on unused commitment amounts and a drawn interest rate equal to the higher of (a) OBFR (Overnight Bank Funding Rate) plus 1.20% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds Effective Rate plus 1.20% per annum on amounts borrowed. Prior to June 23, 2021, the drawn interest rate was equal to the higher of (a) one-month LIBOR (London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) plus 1.25% per annum or

28

(b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.25% per annum on amounts borrowed. The Participating Funds also incurred a 0.05% upfront fee on the increase of the $230 million commitment amount during the reporting period. Interest expense incurred by the Participating Funds, when applicable, is recognized as a component of “Interest expense” on the Statement of Operations. Participating Funds paid administration, legal and arrangement fees, which are recognized as a component of “Interest expense” on the Statement of Operations, and along with commitment fees, have been allocated among such Participating Funds based upon the relative proportions of the facility’s aggregate capacity reserved for them and other factors deemed relevant by the Adviser and the Board of each Participating Fund.

During the current fiscal period, the Fund did not utilize this facility.

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report

(Unaudited)

Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly used method to express an investment’s performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investment’s actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or offer price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered.

Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index: An index that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The index includes Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, fixed rate agency MBS, ABS and CMBS. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.

Duration: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bond’s principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond’s or bond fund’s value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond’s or fund’s duration, the more the price of the bond or fund will change as interest rates change.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP): The total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country/region in a given year, equal to total consumer, investment and government spending, plus the value of exports, minus the value of imports.

Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: A fund’s Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash and accrued earnings) less its total liabilities. For funds with multiple classes, Net Assets are determined separately for each share class. NAV per share is equal to the fund’s (or share class’) Net Assets divided by its number of shares outstanding.

Total Investment Exposure: Total investment exposure is the fund’s assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to leverage. For these purposes, leverage includes the fund’s use of preferred stock and borrowings and investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities.

Zero Coupon Bond: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. Income to the holder of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the bond at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of bonds that pay interest periodically.

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process

(Unaudited)

At a meeting held on May 25-27, 2021 (the “May Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board” and each Trustee, a “Board Member”) of the Fund, which is comprised entirely of Board Members who are not “interested persons” (as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”)) (the “Independent Board Members”), approved the renewal of the management agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) pursuant to which the Adviser serves as the investment adviser to the Fund and the sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) pursuant to which the Sub-Adviser serves as the sub-adviser to the Fund. Although the 1940 Act requires that continuances of the Advisory Agreements (as defined below) be approved by the in-person vote of a majority of the Independent Board Members, the May Meeting was held virtually through the internet in view of the health risks associated with holding an in-person meeting during the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental restrictions on gatherings. The May Meeting was held virtually in reliance on certain exemptive relief the Securities and Exchange Commission provided to registered investment companies providing temporary relief from the in-person voting requirements of the 1940 Act with respect to the approval of a fund’s advisory agreement in light of these challenges.

Following up to an initial two-year period, the Board considers the renewal of the Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement on behalf of the Fund on an annual basis. The Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements” and the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are collectively, the “Fund Advisers” and each, a “Fund Adviser.” Throughout the year, the Board and its committees meet regularly and, at these meetings, receive regular and/or special reports that cover an extensive array of topics and information that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the advisory agreements for the Nuveen funds. Such information may address, among other things, fund performance and risk information; the Adviser’s strategic plans; product initiatives for various funds; the review of the funds and investment teams; compliance, regulatory and risk management matters; the trading practices of the various sub-advisers to the funds; valuation of securities; fund expenses; and overall market and regulatory developments. The Board also seeks to meet periodically with the Nuveen funds’ sub-advisers and portfolio teams, when feasible.

In addition, in connection with the annual consideration of the advisory agreements for the Nuveen funds, the Board, through its independent legal counsel, requested and received extensive materials and information prepared specifically for its annual consideration of the renewal of such advisory agreements by the Adviser. The materials cover a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, a description of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Fund Advisers; a review of product actions taken during 2020 (such as mergers, liquidations, fund launches, changes to investment teams, and changes to investment policies); a review of each sub-adviser to the Nuveen funds and the applicable investment teams; an analysis of fund performance with a focus on any performance outliers; an analysis of certain fee and expense information; a description of portfolio manager compensation; a review of the performance of various service providers; a description of various initiatives Nuveen had undertaken or continued during the year for the benefit of particular fund(s) and/or the complex; a description of the profitability or financial data of Nuveen and the sub-advisers to the Nuveen funds; and a description of indirect benefits received by the Adviser and the sub-advisers as a result of their relationships with the Nuveen funds. The information prepared specifically for the annual review supplemented the information provided to the Board and its committees and the evaluations of the Nuveen funds by the Board and its committees during the year.

In continuing its practice, the Board met prior to the May Meeting to begin its considerations of the renewal of the Advisory Agreements. Accordingly, on April 21-22, 2021 (the “April Meeting”), the Board met to review and discuss, in part, the performance of the Nuveen funds and the Adviser’s evaluation of each sub-adviser to the Nuveen funds. At the April Meeting, the Board Members asked questions and requested additional information that was provided for the May Meeting. The Board reviewed fund performance throughout the year and in its review, the Board recognized the volatile market conditions that occurred in early 2020 arising, in part, from the public health crisis caused by the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 and the resulting impact on a fund’s performance for 2020 and thereafter. Accordingly, the Board considered performance data measured over various periods of time as summarized in more detail below.

The Independent Board Members considered the review of the advisory agreements for the Nuveen funds to be an ongoing process and employed the accumulated information, knowledge and experience the Board Members had gained during their tenure on the boards governing the Nuveen funds and working with the Adviser and sub-advisers in their review of the advisory agreements. The contractual arrangements are a result of multiple years of review, negotiation and information provided in connection with the boards’ annual review of the Nuveen funds’ advisory arrangements and oversight of the Nuveen funds.

The Independent Board Members were advised by independent legal counsel during the annual review process as well as throughout the year, including meeting in executive sessions with such counsel at which no representatives from the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser were present. In connection with their annual review, the Independent Board Members also received a memorandum from independent legal counsel outlining their fiduciary duties and legal standards in reviewing the Advisory Agreements.

32

The Board’s decision to renew the Advisory Agreements was not based on a single identified factor, but rather the decision reflected the comprehensive consideration of all the information provided throughout the year and at the April and May Meetings, and each Board Member may have attributed different levels of importance to the various factors and information considered in connection with the approval process. The following summarizes the principal factors and information, but not all the factors, the Board considered in deciding to renew the Advisory Agreements as well as the Board’s conclusions.

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

In evaluating the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the applicable Fund Adviser’s services provided to the Fund with particular focus on the services and enhancements to such services provided during the last year. The Independent Board Members considered the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement separately in the course of their review. With this approach, they considered the respective roles of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser in providing services to the Fund.

The Board recognized that the Nuveen funds operate in a highly regulated industry and, therefore, the Adviser has provided a wide array of management, oversight and administrative services to manage and operate the funds, and the scope and complexity of these services have expanded over time as a result of, among other things, regulatory and other developments. The Board accordingly considered the extensive resources, tools and capabilities available to the Adviser to operate and manage the Nuveen funds. With respect to the Adviser, as a general matter, some of these services it and its affiliates provide to the Nuveen funds include, but are not limited to: product management (such as setting dividends, analyzing fund expenses, providing competitive analysis, and providing due diligence support); investment oversight, risk management and securities valuation services (such as overseeing and reviewing the various sub-advisers to the Nuveen funds and their investment teams; analyzing fund performance and risk data; overseeing operational and risk management; participating in financial statement, marketing and risk disclosures; providing daily valuation services and developing related valuation policies, procedures and methodologies; periodic testing of audit and regulatory requirements; participating in product development and management processes; participating in leverage management, liquidity monitoring and counterparty credit oversight; providing due diligence and overseeing fund accounting and custody providers; overseeing third party pricing services and periodically assessing investment and liquidity risks); fund administration (such as preparing fund tax returns and other tax compliance services; preparing regulatory filings; overseeing the funds’ independent public accountants and other service providers; analyzing products and enhancements; and managing fund budgets and expenses); oversight of shareholder services and transfer agency functions (such as overseeing transfer agent service providers which include registered shareholder customer service and transaction processing; overseeing proxy solicitation and tabulation services; and overseeing the production and distribution of financial reports by service providers); Board relations services (such as organizing and administering Board and committee meetings, preparing various reports to the Board and committees and providing other support services); compliance and regulatory oversight services (such as managing compliance policies; monitoring compliance with applicable fund policies and laws and regulations; devising internal compliance programs and a framework to review and assess compliance programs; evaluating the compliance programs of the various sub-advisers to the Nuveen funds and certain other service providers; responding to regulatory requests; and preparing compliance training materials); and legal support and oversight of outside law firms (such as helping to prepare and file registration statements and proxy statements; overseeing fund activities and providing legal interpretations regarding such activities; maintaining regulatory registrations and negotiating agreements with other fund service providers; and monitoring changes in regulatory requirements and commenting on rule proposals impacting investment companies). With respect to the Fund, however, the Board recognized that the Fund may not require the same level of shareholder services as other Nuveen funds given that it is sold via separate managed accounts.

In evaluating services, the Board reviewed various highlights of the initiatives the Adviser and its affiliates have undertaken or continued in 2020 to benefit the Nuveen complex and/or particular Nuveen funds and meet the requirements of an increasingly complex regulatory environment including, but not limited to:

• Centralization of Functions – ongoing initiatives to centralize investment leadership, market approach and shared support functions within Nuveen and its affiliates in seeking to operate more effectively the business and enhance the services to the Nuveen funds;

• Fund Improvements and Product Management Initiatives – continuing to proactively manage the Nuveen fund complex as a whole and at the individual fund level with an aim to continually improve product platforms and investment strategies to better serve shareholders through, among other things, rationalizing the product line and gaining efficiencies through mergers, repositionings and liquidations; launching new funds; reviewing and updating investment policies and benchmarks; and modifying portfolio management teams for various funds;

• Investment Team Integrations – continuing to integrate and adjust the members of certain investment teams, in part, to allow greater access to tools and resources within the Nuveen organization and its affiliates;

• Capital Initiatives – continuing to invest capital to support new Nuveen funds with initial capital as well as to support existing funds and facilitate regulatory or logistical changes;

• Liquidity Management – continuing to operate the liquidity management program of the applicable Nuveen funds including monitoring daily their liquidity profile and assessing annually the overall liquidity risk of such funds;

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)

• Compliance Program Initiatives – continuing efforts to mitigate compliance risk, increase operating efficiencies, implement enhancements to strengthen key compliance program elements and support international business growth and other corporate objectives;

• Investment Oversight – preparing reports to the Board addressing, among other things, fund performance; market conditions; investment teams; new products; changes to mandates, policies and benchmarks; and other management proposals;

• Risk Management and Valuation Services – continuing to oversee and manage risk including, among other things, conducting daily calculations and monitoring of risk measures across the Nuveen funds, instituting appropriate investment risk controls, providing risk reporting throughout the firm, participating in internal oversight committees, and continuing to implement an operational risk framework that seeks to provide greater transparency of operational risk matters across the complex as well as provide multiple other risk programs that seek to provide a more disciplined and consistent approach to identifying and mitigating Nuveen’s operational risks. Further, the securities valuation team continues, among other things, to oversee the daily valuation process of the portfolio securities of the funds, maintains the valuation policies and procedures, facilitates valuation committee meetings, manages relationships with pricing vendors, and prepares relevant valuation reports and designs methods to simplify and enhance valuation workflow within the organization;

• Regulatory Matters – continuing efforts to monitor regulatory trends and advocate on behalf of Nuveen and/or the Nuveen funds, to implement and comply with new or revised rules and mandates and to respond to regulatory inquiries and exams;

• Government Relations – continuing efforts of various Nuveen teams and Nuveen’s affiliates to develop policy positions on a broad range of issues that may impact the Nuveen funds, advocate and communicate these positions to lawmakers and other regulatory authorities and work with trade associations to ensure these positions are represented;

• Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery and Information Security – continuing efforts of Nuveen to periodically test and update business continuity and disaster recovery plans and, together with its affiliates, to maintain an information security program designed to identify and manage information security risks, and provide reports to the Board, at least annually, addressing, among other things, management’s security risk assessment, cyber risk profile, potential impact of new or revised laws and regulations, incident tracking and other relevant information technology risk-related reports; and

• Dividend Management Services – continuing to manage the dividends among the varying types of Nuveen funds within the Nuveen complex to be consistent with the respective fund’s product design and positioning in striving to deliver those earnings to shareholders in a relatively consistent manner over time as well as assisting in the development of new products or the restructuring of existing funds.

In its review, the Board recognized that Nuveen’s risk management, compliance, technology and operations capabilities are all integral to providing its investment management services to the Nuveen funds. Further, the Board noted the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Nuveen fund, as each Nuveen fund is a part of a large fund complex with a variety of investment disciplines, capabilities, expertise and resources available to navigate and support the funds including during stressed times as occurred in the market in the first half of 2020. The Board recognized the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during the year and the adaptations required by service providers to continue to deliver their services to the Nuveen funds, including working remotely. In this regard, the Board noted the ability of the Adviser and the various sub-advisers to the Nuveen funds to provide continuously their services notwithstanding the significant disruptions caused by the pandemic. In addition to the services provided by the Adviser, the Board also considered the risks borne by the Adviser and its affiliates in managing the Nuveen funds, including entrepreneurial, operational, reputational, regulatory and litigation risks.

The Board further considered the division of responsibilities between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and recognized that the Sub-Adviser and its investment personnel generally are responsible for the management of the Fund’s portfolio under the oversight of the Adviser and the Board. The Board considered an analysis of the Sub-Adviser provided by the Adviser which included, among other things, the assets under management of the applicable investment team and changes thereto, a summary of the applicable investment team and changes thereto, the investment process and philosophy of the applicable investment team, the performance of the Nuveen funds sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser over various periods of time and a summary of any significant policy and/or other changes to the Nuveen funds sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser. The Board further considered at the May Meeting or prior meetings evaluations of the Sub-Adviser’s compliance programs and trade execution. The Board also considered the structure of investment personnel compensation programs and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the respective Nuveen funds. The Board noted that the Adviser recommended the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based on its review, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund under each Advisory Agreement.

B. The Investment Performance of the Fund and Fund Advisers

In evaluating the quality of the services provided by the Fund Advisers, the Board also received and considered a variety of investment performance data of the Nuveen funds they advise. In evaluating performance, the Board recognized that performance data may differ significantly depending on the ending date selected, particularly during periods of market volatility, and therefore considered performance over a variety of time periods that may include full market cycles. In this regard, the Board reviewed, among other things, Fund performance over the quarter ending December 31, 2020 as

34

well as performance data periods ending nearer to the May Meeting, including the year-to-date periods ending March 31, 2021 and May 14, 2021. For Nuveen open-end funds with multiple classes, the performance data was generally based on Class A shares; however, the performance of other classes, if any, should be substantially similar as they invest in the same portfolio of securities and differences in performance among the classes would be principally attributed to the variations in the expense structures of the classes. The performance data prepared for the annual review of the advisory agreements for the Nuveen funds supplemented the fund performance data that the Board received throughout the year at its meetings representing differing time periods. In its review, the Board took into account the discussions with representatives of the Adviser; the Adviser’s analysis regarding fund performance that occurred at these Board meetings with particular focus on funds that were considered performance outliers (both overperformance and underperformance); the factors contributing to the performance; and any recommendations or steps taken to address performance concerns. Regardless of the time period reviewed by the Board, the Board recognized that shareholders may evaluate performance based on their own holding periods which may differ from the periods reviewed by the Board and lead to differing results. For Nuveen funds that had changes in portfolio managers since 2018 or significant changes, among other things, to their investment strategies or policies since 2019, the Board reviewed certain performance data comparing the performance of such funds before and after such changes. In considering performance data, the Board is aware of certain inherent limitations with such data, including that differences between the objective(s), strategies and other characteristics of the Nuveen funds compared to the respective performance peer group and/or benchmark(s) (such as differences in the use of leverage) will necessarily contribute to differences in performance results and limit the value of the comparative information.

The Board also evaluated performance in light of various relevant factors, including, among other things, general market conditions, issuer-specific information, asset class information, leverage and fund cash flows. In relation to general market conditions, the Board recognized the significant market decline in the early part of 2020 in connection with, among other things, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and that such a period of underperformance and market volatility may significantly weigh on the longer term performance results. Accordingly, depending on the facts and circumstances including any differences between the respective Nuveen fund and its benchmark and/or performance peer group, the Board may be satisfied with a fund’s performance notwithstanding that its performance may be below that of its benchmark or peer group for certain periods. However, with respect to any Nuveen funds for which the Board had identified performance issues, the Board monitors such funds closely until performance improves, discusses with the Adviser the reasons for such results, considers whether any steps are necessary or appropriate to address such issues, and reviews the results of any steps undertaken.

The Board noted that, given the unique nature of the Fund, the Fund does not have peers. The Board noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, but its performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the year-to-date periods ended March 31, 2021 and May 14, 2021. The Board noted that the Fund was new with a performance history too limited to make a meaningful assessment.

C. Fees, Expenses and Profitability

1. Fees and Expenses

The Fund is sold via separate managed accounts which pay the Adviser a managed account management fee. As the Adviser is compensated from the managed accounts, the Fund does not pay the Adviser a management fee. Further, the Adviser had agreed to pay or reimburse the Fund’s expenses (except for interest expense, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses). Given the unique fee arrangement, the Fund does not have a peer group and therefore a comparative peer analysis was not provided for the Fund. In addition, as the Adviser pays nearly all the Fund’s expenses, the Board recognized that the Fund’s expenses were also not comparable to a peer group or to other Nuveen funds. The managed account management fee was an asset-based fee based on the entire separate managed account portfolio, including the portion invested in the Fund. The managed account management fee paid to the Adviser therefore represented an implied management fee for managing the Fund and an implied management fee for managing individual securities. To evaluate the fee arrangement, the Independent Board Members reviewed the target range of management fees to be paid by the separate managed accounts, the implied management fee for the Fund, the range of implied management fees for managing individual securities, and the methodology utilized to develop these implied management fees.

Based on its review of the information provided, the Board recognized the Fund’s unique fee and expense structure, in which the Fund does not have a management fee and the Adviser pays nearly all the Fund’s expenses, and determined the arrangement was reasonable.

2. Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients

In determining the appropriateness of fees, the Board also considered information regarding the fee rates the respective Fund Advisers charged to certain other types of clients and the type of services provided to these other clients. With respect to the Adviser and/or the Sub-Adviser, such other clients may include retail and institutional managed accounts advised by the Sub-Adviser; hedge funds managed by the Sub-Adviser; investment companies offered outside the Nuveen family and sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser; foreign investment companies offered by Nuveen and sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser; and collective investment trusts sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser. The Board further noted that the Adviser also advised certain exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) sponsored by Nuveen.

35

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)

The Board recognized that the Fund had an affiliated sub-adviser and, with respect to affiliated sub-advisers, reviewed, among other things, the range of fees assessed for managed accounts, hedge funds (along with their performance fee) and foreign investment companies offered by Nuveen. The Board also reviewed the fee range and average fee rate of certain selected investment strategies offered in retail and institutional managed accounts advised by the Sub-Adviser, the hedge funds advised by the Sub-Adviser (along with their performance fee) and non-Nuveen investment companies sub-advised by certain affiliated sub-advisers.

In considering the fee data of other clients, the Board recognized, among other things, the differences in the amount, type and level of services provided to the Nuveen funds relative to other clients as well as the differences in portfolio investment policies, investor profiles, account sizes and regulatory requirements, all of which contribute to the variations in the fee schedules. The Board recognized the breadth of services the Adviser had provided to the Nuveen funds compared to the other types of clients as the funds operate in a highly regulated industry with increasing regulatory requirements as well as the increased entrepreneurial, legal and regulatory risks that the Adviser incurs in sponsoring and managing the funds. Further, with respect to ETFs, the Board considered that Nuveen ETFs were passively managed compared to the active management of the other Nuveen funds which contributed to the differences in fee levels between the Nuveen ETFs and other Nuveen funds. In general, higher fee levels reflect higher levels of service provided by the Adviser, increased investment management complexity, greater product management requirements, and higher levels of business risk or some combination of these factors. Given that the Fund is sold via separate managed accounts, the Board recognized that the Fund may not require the same level of shareholder services as other Nuveen funds. Further, as noted, given the Fund’s unique fee and expense structure pursuant to which the Fund does not pay management fees and the expenses are primarily reimbursed, comparisons with peers were not available.

3. Profitability of Fund Advisers

In their review, the Independent Board Members considered information regarding Nuveen’s level of profitability for its advisory services to the Nuveen funds for the calendar years 2020 and 2019. The Board reviewed, among other things, Nuveen’s net margins (pre-tax) (both including and excluding distribution expenses); gross and net revenue margins (pre- and post-tax and excluding distribution) from Nuveen funds only; revenues, expenses and net income (pre- and post-tax and before distribution expenses) of Nuveen for fund advisory services; and comparative profitability data comparing the operating margins of Nuveen compared to the adjusted operating margins of certain peers that had publicly available data and with the most comparable assets under management (based on asset size and asset composition) for each of the last two calendar years. In reviewing the peer comparison data, the Independent Board Members noted that Nuveen Investments, Inc.’s operating margins were on the low range compared to the total company adjusted operating margins of the peers. The Board also reviewed the revenues and expenses the Adviser derived from its ETF product line for the 2019 and 2020 calendar years.

In reviewing the profitability data, the Independent Board Members recognized the subjective nature of calculating profitability as the information is not audited and is dependent on cost allocation methodologies to allocate corporate-wide expenses to the Nuveen complex and its affiliates and to further allocate such Nuveen complex expenses between the Nuveen fund and non-fund businesses. Generally, fund-specific expenses are allocated to the Nuveen funds and partial fund-related expenses and/or corporate overhead and shared costs (such as legal and compliance, accounting and finance, information technology and human resources and office services) are partially attributed to the funds pursuant to cost allocation methodologies. The Independent Board Members reviewed a description of the cost allocation methodologies employed to develop the financial information, a summary of the history of changes to the methodology over the years from 2010 to 2020, and the net revenue margins derived from the Nuveen funds (pre-tax and including and excluding distribution) and total company margins from Nuveen Investments, Inc. compared to the firm-wide adjusted margins of the peers for each calendar year from 2010 to 2020. The Board had also appointed three Independent Board Members to serve as the Board’s liaisons, with the assistance of independent counsel, to review the development of the profitability data and any proposed changes to the cost allocation methodology prior to incorporating any such changes and to report to the full Board. The Board recognized that other reasonable and valid allocation methodologies could be employed and could lead to significantly different results. The Independent Board Members also considered the key drivers behind the revenue and expense changes that impacted Nuveen’s net margins between 2019 and 2020. The Board also noted the reinvestments Nuveen and/or its parent made into its business through, among other things, the investment of seed capital in certain Nuveen funds and continued investments in enhancements to information technology, portfolio accounting systems and the global trading platform.

In reviewing the comparative peer data noted above, the Board considered that the operating margins of Nuveen Investments, Inc. were in the lower half of the peer group range; however, the Independent Board Members also recognized the limitations of the comparative data given that peer data is not generally public and the calculation of profitability is subjective and affected by numerous factors (such as types of funds a peer manages, its business mix, its cost of capital, the numerous assumptions underlying the methodology used to allocate expenses and other factors) that can have a significant impact on the results.

Aside from Nuveen’s profitability, the Board recognized that the Adviser is a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC, the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”). Accordingly, the Board also reviewed a balance sheet for TIAA reflecting its

36

assets, liabilities and capital and contingency reserves for the 2020 and 2019 calendar years to consider the financial strength of TIAA. The Board recognized the benefit of an investment adviser and its parent with significant resources, particularly during periods of market volatility as experienced with the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition to Nuveen, the Independent Board Members considered the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from its relationships with the Nuveen funds. In this regard, the Independent Board Members reviewed, among other things, the Sub-Adviser’s revenues, expenses and net revenue margins (pre- and post-tax) for its advisory activities for the calendar year ended December 31, 2020 as well as its pre- and post-tax net revenue margins for 2020 compared to such margins for 2019. The Independent Board Members also reviewed a profitability analysis reflecting the revenues, expenses and revenue margin (pre- and post-tax) by asset type for the Sub-Adviser for the calendar year ending December 31, 2020 and the pre- and post-tax revenue margins from 2020 and 2019.

In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent Board Members also considered any other ancillary benefits derived by the respective Fund Adviser from its relationship with the Nuveen funds as discussed in further detail below.

Based on a consideration of all the information provided, the Board noted that Nuveen’s and the Sub-Adviser’s level of profitability was acceptable and not unreasonable in light of the services provided.

D. Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale

The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Nuveen funds and whether these economies of scale have been appropriately shared with the funds. The Board recognized that although economies of scale are difficult to measure and certain expenses may not decline with a rise in assets, there are several methods to help share the benefits of economies of scale, including breakpoints in the management fee schedule, fee waivers and/or expense limitations, the pricing of Nuveen funds at scale at inception and investments in Nuveen’s business which can enhance the services provided to the funds for the fees paid. The boards governing the Nuveen funds have noted that Nuveen generally has employed these various methods and have considered the extent to which the Nuveen funds will benefit from economies of scale as their assets grow. In this regard, the boards governing the Nuveen funds have noted that the management fee of the Adviser is generally comprised of a fund-level component and a complex-level component each with its own breakpoint schedule, subject to certain exceptions. The Independent Board Members, however, noted that the Fund does not have breakpoint schedules. In this regard, the Independent Board Members noted that because the Fund does not pay a management fee, there are no applicable fund-level or complex-wide level breakpoint schedules, although its assets would be counted toward the complex-wide total.

The Independent Board Members considered the temporary and/or permanent expense caps applicable to certain Nuveen funds (including the amounts of fees waived or amounts reimbursed to the respective funds in 2019 and 2020). In this regard, as noted above, the Fund is reimbursed nearly all of its expenses by the Adviser.

The Independent Board Members also recognized the Adviser’s continued reinvestment in its business through various initiatives including maintaining a seed account available for investments into Nuveen funds and investing in its internal infrastructure, information technology and other systems that will, among other things, consolidate and enhance accounting systems, integrate technology platforms to support growth and efficient data processing, and further develop its global trading platform to enhance the investment process for the investment teams.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the absence of a fund-level and/or complex-level breakpoint schedule or arrangement (as applicable) was acceptable.

E. Indirect Benefits

The Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding other benefits the respective Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationship with the Nuveen funds. The Independent Board Members noted that various sub-advisers (including the Sub-Adviser) may engage in soft dollar transactions pursuant to which they may receive the benefit of research products and other services provided by broker-dealers executing portfolio transactions on behalf of the applicable Nuveen funds. However, the Board noted that any benefits for the Sub-Adviser when transacting in fixed-income securities may be more limited as such securities generally trade on a principal basis and therefore do not generate brokerage commissions.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that any indirect benefits received by a Fund Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Fund were reasonable and within acceptable parameters.

F. Other Considerations

The Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including the Independent Board Members, concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable, that the Fund’s fee arrangement was reasonable and that the Advisory Agreements be renewed.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

(Unaudited)

Discussion of the operation and effectiveness of the Funds’ liquidity risk management program

In compliance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”), each Fund covered in this Report (the “Funds”) has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”), which is designed to manage the Fund’s liquidity risk. The Program consists of various protocols for assessing and managing each Fund’s liquidity risk. The Funds’ Board of Trustees previously designated Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser, as the Administrator of the Program. The adviser’s Liquidity Monitoring and Analysis Team (“LMAT”) carries out day-to-day Program management with oversight by the adviser’s Liquidity Oversight Sub-Committee (the LOSC”). The LOSC is composed of personnel from the adviser and Teachers Advisors, LLC, an affiliate of the adviser.

At a May 26, 2021 meeting of the Board, the Administrator provided the Board with a written report addressing the Program’s operation, adequacy and effectiveness of implementation for calendar year 2019 (the “Review Period”), as required under the Liquidity Rule. The report noted that the Program has been and continues to be adequately and effectively implemented to monitor and (as applicable) respond to each Fund’s liquidity developments.

In accordance with the Program, the LMAT assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk no less frequently than annually based on various factors, such as (i) the Fund’s investment strategy and the liquidity of portfolio investments, (ii) cash flow projections, and (iii) holdings of cash and cash equivalents, borrowing arrangements, and other funding sources. Certain factors are considered under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions.

Each Fund portfolio investment is classified into one of four liquidity categories (including the most liquid, “Highly Liquid”, and the least liquid, “Illiquid”, discussed below). The classification is based on a determination of how long it is reasonably expected to take to convert the investment into cash, or sell or dispose of the investment, in current market conditions without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Liquidity classification determinations take into account various market, trading, and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and use third-party vendor data.

Any Fund that does not primarily hold highly liquid investments must, among other things, determine a minimum percentage of Fund assets that must be invested in highly liquid investments (a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum”). During the Review Period, Nuveen California High Yield Municipal Bond Fund determined that it would hold a minimum of 25% of its assets in highly liquid investments, and it maintained at least that amount during the Review period. Nuveen California Municipal Bond Fund, primarily held Highly Liquid investments and therefore was exempt from the requirement to adopt a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum and to comply with the related requirements under the Liquidity Rule.

The Liquidity Rule also limits a Fund’s investments in Illiquid investments. Specifically, the Liquidity Rule prohibits a Fund from acquiring Illiquid investments if doing so would result in the Fund holding more than 15% of its net assets in Illiquid investments, and requires certain reporting to the Fund Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission any time a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid investments exceeds 15% of net assets. During the Review Period, no Fund exceeded the 15% limit on Illiquid investments. However, the Nuveen California High Yield Municipal Bond Fund exceeded the 15% limit on Illiquid investments for two business days after the end of the Review Period, which will be discussed in next year’s annual shareholder report in connection with discussing the operations of that Fund’s liquidity risk management program during 2020.

38

Trustees and Officers

(Unaudited)

The management of the Funds, including general supervision of the duties performed for the Funds by the Adviser, is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees of the Funds. None of the Trustees who are not “interested” persons of the Funds (referred to herein as “Independent Trustees”) has ever been a Trustee or employee of, or consultant to, Nuveen or its affiliates. The names and business addresses of the Trustees and officers of the Funds, their principal occupations and other affiliations during the past five years, the number of portfolios each Trustee oversees and other directorships they hold are set forth below.
