SECTION 1.1 NUVEEN CODE OF ETHICS

GRAPHIC

 

Nuveen Compliance | 26 August 2019 Code of Ethics activity of the specific adviser(s) or Affiliated Funds with which you are involved. For other employees, personal trading is typically monitored against the trading activities of all advisers affiliated with Nuveen. You will generally not be permitted to execute transactions in a security on any day when an Affiliate-Advised Account or Portfolio managed by the adviser(s) that you are monitored against has a pending buy or sell order for that security. S U M M A R Y A N D S C O P E What the Code is about Helping to ensure that Nuveen personnel place the interests of Nuveen clients ahead of their own personal interests. INVESTMENT PERSON An Access Person who meets any of the following criteria will in addition be considered an Investment Person: Who the Code applies to and what the implications are This Code applies to individuals in the following categories: • The Access Person is a Portfolio Manager, Research Analyst or Research Assistant, or they otherwise participate in making recommendations or decisions concerning the purchase or sale of securities in any Affiliate-Advised Account or Portfolio. The Access Person has been designated an Investment Person by the Nuveen Ethics Office. • Nuveen Employees based in the US or Canada (except employees of Gresham Investment Management LLC, Westchester Group Investment Management, Inc., and any employees of Greenwood Resources, Inc. who are based outside of Portland, Oregon). Employees of any US-registered investment adviser who are based outside the US, except Gresham Investment Management LLC and Greenwood Resources, Inc. Consultants, interns, and temporary workers based in the US or Canada whose contract length is 90 days or more, unless the Nuveen Ethics Office determines otherwise. Any TIAA employees designated as Access Persons by the TIAA-CREF Funds Chief Compliance Officer or the Nuveen Ethics Office. • Key characteristics of this designation. The vast majority of Investment Persons are employees of Nuveen’s affiliated investment advisers. An Investment Person is prohibited from transacting in securities during the period starting 7 calendar days before, and ending 7 calendar days after, any trade in an Affiliate-Advised Account or Portfolio for which he/she has responsibility. In addition, an Investment Person’s personal transactions will be reviewed for conflicts in the period starting 7 calendar days before, and ending 7 calendar days after, all trades by their associated investment adviser. In some cases, the Investment Person may be required to reverse a trade and/or forfeit an appropriate portion of any profit as determined by the Nuveen Ethics Office. These consequences can apply whether or not the trade was pre-cleared. The personal trading of Investment Persons is generally only monitored against the trading activity of the specific adviser for which they have been designated an Investment Person. • • • Independent directors and trustees of the TIAA-CREF Funds Complex and Nuveen-sponsored or -branded funds have their own Code of Ethics and are not subject to this one. For individuals who are subject to the Code, there are two designations with different implications: Access Person and Investment Person. ACCESS PERSON All Nuveen Employees who are subject to the Code are considered Access Persons, since they have, or could have, access to non-public information about securities transactions and other investments, holdings, or recommendations for Affiliate-Advised Accounts or Portfolios. Key characteristics of this designation. An individual may be considered an Access Person of multiple advisers affiliated with Nuveen, or of only one. If your regular duties give you access to non-public information, or you are an officer of a Nuveen or TIAA-CREF sponsored or branded fund, your personal trading is generally monitored only against the trading

Code of Ethics Page 2 of 8 Important to understand Some of our affiliated investment advisers may have policies of their own that impose additional rules on the same topics covered in this Code. Check with your manager or local/designated Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) if you have questions. Personal trading is a privilege, not a right. Nuveen Employees are expected to follow the law and adhere to the highest standards of behavior—including with respect to personal trading. Any violation of the Code could have severe adverse effects on you, your co-workers, and Nuveen. You may be held personally liable for your conduct and be subject to fines, regulatory sanctions, and even criminal penalties. Because Nuveen can restrict your trading or take actions such as forcing you to hold a position or to disgorge profits, personal trading carries risks beyond normal market risks. Some requirements in this Code apply to Household Members. Each Household Member (see “Terms with Special Meanings” at right) is subject to the same restrictions and requirements that apply to his/her related Nuveen Employee. The Code does not address every ethical issue that might arise. If you have any doubt at all after consulting the Code, contact the Nuveen Ethics Office for direction. The Code applies to appearance as well as substance. Always consider how any action might appear to an outside observer (such as a client or regulator). You are expected to follow the Code both in letter and in spirit. Literal compliance, such as pre-clearing a transaction, does not necessarily protect you from liability for conduct that violates the spirit of the Code. If you have questions about how to comply with this Code, consult the Nuveen Ethics Office. nuveenethicsoffice@nuveen.com brother, sister). grandchild.

Never abuse a client's trust, rights, or interests. This means you must never do any of the following: Engage in any plan or action, or use any device, that would defraud or deceive a client. Make any material statements of fact that are incorrect or misleading, either as to what they include or omit. Engage in any manipulative practice. Use your position (including any knowledge or access to opportunities you have gained by virtue of your position) to personal advantage or to a client’s disadvantage. This would include, for example, front-running or tailgating (trading directly before or after the execution of a large client trade order), or any attempt to influence a client's trading to enhance the value of your personal holdings. 1. 2. Handle conflicts of interest appropriately. This applies not only to actual conflicts of interest, but also to any situation that might appear to an outside observer to be improper or a breach of fiduciary duty. • • • • 3.

This includes confidential information related to any of the following: • Any Affiliate-Advised Account or Portfolio and any other financial product offered or serviced by Nuveen.

Code of Ethics Page 4 of 8 • Past, current, and prospective clients, including their identities, investments, and account activity. • Request pre-clearance on the same day you want to trade, during standard US trading hours (9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET). Be sure your pre-clearance request is accurate as to security and direction of trade. Wait for approval to be displayed before trading. If you receive approval, you may only trade that same day, and only within the scope of approval. If you do not receive approval, do not trade. Place day orders only. Do not place good-til-canceled orders. You may place orders for an after-hours trading session or in foreign markets using that day’s pre-clearance approval, but you must not place any order that could remain open into the next day’s trading session. "Keeping information confidential" means using discretion in disclosing information as well as guarding against unlawful or inappropriate access by others. This includes: • Making sure no confidential information is visible on your computer screen and desk when you are not there. •Not sharing passwords with others. • Using caution when discussing business in any location where your conversation could be overheard. Confidential information may be released only as required by law or as permitted under the applicable privacy policy(ies). Consult the Nuveen Ethics Office or your local/designated CCO before releasing any confidential information. 4. Handle Material Non-Public Information properly. Follow all of the terms described in “Material Non-Public Information” below. Be aware that any failure to handle such information properly is a serious offense and may lead to disciplinary action from Nuveen as well as serious civil or criminal liability. • • 9. Hold positions in securities that are subject to pre-clearance for 6o calendar days, or be prepared to forfeit any gains. Several things to note: You may be required to surrender any gains realized (net of commissions) through a violation of this rule. The 60-day holding requirement is tested on a last-in-first-out basis, across all of your holdings (not just within individual accounts). The 60-day holding requirement extends to any options or other transactions that may have the same effect as a purchase or sale, and to all Reportable Securities except Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), Exchange Traded Notes (ETNs), Unit Investment Trusts (UITs), and open-end Affiliated Funds. Nuveen-branded or sponsored closed-end funds are subject to the 60-day holding requirement. You may sell the security on the 6oth day after purchase, provided you obtain pre-clearance or an exemption applies. You may re-purchase a security immediately after executing a sale of that same security, which will trigger a new 60 calendar day holding period. You may close a position at a loss at any time, provided pre-clearance has been obtained or an exemption applies. • • 5. Comply with Federal Securities Laws. Any violation of these laws is punishable as a violation of the Code. • 6. Never do anything indirectly that, if done directly, would violate the Code. Such actions will be considered the equivalent of direct Code violations. 7. Promptly alert the Nuveen Ethics Office or your local/designated CCO of any actual or suspected wrongdoing. Examples of wrongdoing include violations of the Federal Securities Laws, misuse of corporate assets, misuse of confidential information, or other violations of the Code. If you prefer to report confidentially, call the TIAA Confidential Helpline at 1-877-774-6492. Note that failure to report suspected wrongdoing in a timely fashion is itself a violation of the Code. • • • PRE-CLEARANCE AND HOLDING REQUIREMENTS 8. Pre-clear any trade in Reportable Securities, including certain Affiliated Funds (see box on next page for additional information). If your trade requires pre-clearance, request approval through the Protegent PTA system (PTA) before you or any Household Member places an order to buy or sell any Reportable Security. Any approval you receive expires at the end of the day it was granted; however, you may place after-hours trades in international markets until 11:59 PM local time on that day. When requesting pre-clearance, follow this process: 10. Comply with trading restrictions described in the prospectuses for all Affiliated Funds. This includes restrictions on frequent trading in shares of any open-end Affiliated Fund. 11. Pre-clear any transaction in a Managed Account that involves your influence. You must also immediately consult with the Nuveen Ethics Office to discuss whether the account in question can properly remain classified as a Managed Account.

Code of Ethics Page 5 of 8 12. Obtain the required approvals before any transaction in a Private Placement. For any private funds advised or sub-advised by Nuveen, you must obtain approval for all transactions (initial investment, subsequent investment, sales/redemptions) except additional capital calls. For all other Private Placements, you must obtain approval for initial and subsequent investments but not sales/redemptions. Approval is required even if the investment is made in a Managed Account. OTHER RESTRICTIONS 13. Never knowingly trade any security being traded or considered for trade by any Affiliate-Advised Account or Portfolio. This applies to employee transactions in securities that are exempt from pre-clearance, and includes equivalent or related securities. For example, if a company’s common stock is being traded, you may face restrictions on trading any of the company’s debt, preferred, or foreign equivalent securities, and from trading or exercising any options based on the company’s securities. 14. Always prioritize client trades over personal trades. Your fiduciary duties to the client are far more important than your personal trading, which is a privilege and not a right. Never delay or in any way alter the timing or terms of a client trade for your personal benefit. 15. Do not engage in trading that involves single stock futures, uncovered short sales or uncovered options on individual securities. For any short position you must own the underlying security in equal notional value. Options are permitted only to generate income or for hedging (that is, selling calls or writing puts that are offset by existing long positions), with the following exceptions: •You may buy or sell (write) uncovered long-term options (those with an expiration of 1 year or more from the date of purchase), subject to the 60-day holding period. •Hedging with puts or with shorts against the box is permitted, however, unless the transaction is a covered call (which can be written when you acquire the underlying position), you must first hold the underlying position for 60 days. 16. Never participate in an investment club or similar entity. 17. Do not engage in excessive or inappropriate trading activity. Never let personal trading interfere with your professional duties. The Nuveen Ethics Office and/or your local/designated CCO, in consultation with your manager, will determine what constitutes excessive or inappropriate trading. 18. Pre-clear the sale of securities in a margin account. Margin accounts are permitted, however you must obtain pre-clearance when selling to meet a margin call, even if the transaction is initiated by a broker. WHAT NEEDS TO BE PRE-CLEARED Pre-clearance required •All actively initiated trades in Reportable Securities, except those listed here under “No pre-clearance required.” • Restricted stock or employee stock options accrued during prior employment or a Household Member’s employment require pre-clearance. If pre-clearance is denied, you may contact the Nuveen Ethics Office to request reconsideration. Be aware that pre-clearance can be withdrawn even after it has been granted, and even after you have traded, if Nuveen later becomes aware of Affiliate-Advised Account or Portfolio trades whose existence would have resulted in denial of pre-clearance. In these cases you may be required to reverse a trade and/or forfeit an appropriate portion of any profit, as determined by the Nuveen Ethics Office. Pre-clearance not required • Shares of any open-end mutual fund (including Affiliated Funds). •ETFs, ETNs, UITs. •CDs and commercial paper. • Securities acquired or disposed of through actions outside your control or issued pro rata to all holders of the same class of investment, such as automatic dividend reinvestments, stock splits, mergers, spin-offs, or rights subscriptions. •Sales pursuant to a bona fide tender offer. • Trades made through an Automatic Investment Plan that has been disclosed to the Nuveen Ethics Office in advance. • Trades in a Managed Account (except that you must pre-clear any trades that involve your influence, any initial purchases of private placements, purchases in any equity IPO, and any sales or redemptions of private placements that are branded, sponsored, advised or sub-advised by Nuveen). •Foreign currencies, including futures. •Commodity instruments. •Index options and index futures. •Direct investments in cryptocurrencies.

Within 30 calendar days of the end of each calendar quarter, verify in PTA that all Reportable Transactions made during that quarter have been reported. PTA will display all transactions of yours for which it has received notice (except transactions in your TIAA pension or and retirement plan accounts, which you are not required to report because the firm accesses this information directly). For any other Reportable Transactions not displayed, or displayed inaccurately, you are responsible for making any necessary revisions in PTA to complete your certification. 26. For each Reportable Transaction, you must provide, as applicable, the transaction date, security name and type, ticker symbol or CUSIP, interest rate (coupon) and maturity date, number of shares, price at which the transaction was effected, principal amount (dollar value), the nature of the trade (buy or sell), and the name of the broker, dealer, or bank that effected the transaction.

Once again, if you find any errors or omissions, correct or add to your list of transactions in PTA. • An account owned by a Household Member who works at another financial firm with comparable restrictions. An account that holds securities that cannot be transferred. An account that cannot be moved because of a trust agreement. • • To apply for an exception, contact the Nuveen Ethics Office. For any account granted an exception, arrange for the Nuveen Ethics Office to receive duplicates of all periodic statements. If a firm cannot provide duplicate statements directly to the Nuveen Ethics Office, you must take responsibility for providing them yourself. In all cases, if your accounts are not held at an approved firm, you must manually enter all executed transactions in PTA within 5 days of execution. At the discretion of the Nuveen Ethics Office, some consultants and temporary workers may not be required to move or close Reportable Accounts. EVERY YEAR 27.

The report must contain the information described in item 20 above, and include your certification that you have reported all Reportable Accounts, and all holdings in Reportable Securities at year end. If any of your holdings in Reportable Securities are not displayed in PTA or are displayed inaccurately, you are responsible for making any necessary revisions in PTA to complete your certification. In addition, you must affirm each year through PTA that each Managed Account is properly classified as a Managed Account, for yourself and on behalf of any Household Member. This separate certification does not require broker or investment manager involvement. You also must acknowledge any amendments to the Code that occur during the course of the year. WHEN OPENING ANY NEW REPORTABLE ACCOUNT (INCLUDING A MANAGED ACCOUNT) 23. Get pre-approval for any new Managed Account before any trading activity commences. Using the appropriate form (available from the Nuveen Ethics Office), provide representations that support the classification of the account as a Managed Account. For an account to be classified as a Managed Account, the account owner must have no direct or indirect influence or control over the securities in the account. The form must be signed by the account’s broker or investment manager and by all account owners. You may be asked periodically to confirm these representations. Note that if the Managed Account is not maintained at an approved firm, you are also responsible for providing duplicate statements for the Managed Account to the Ethics Office, if requested. 24.

SECTION 1.1B NUVEEN MATERIAL NONrPUBLIC INFORMATION AND INSIDER TRADING POLICY

GRAPHIC

 

Nuveen Compliance | 11 November 2019 Material Non-Public Trading Policy S U M M A R Y A N D S C O P E Information and Insider activities and what they mean. You are also responsible for deciding when to seek guidance or clarification. What this policy is about Ensuring all employees identify and properly handle Material Non-Public Information (MNPI) in order to prevent violations of Federal Securities Laws stemming from the misuse of such information. Who this policy applies to •All Permanent Employees, consultants, interns, and temporary workers in the US, Canada and Latin America. Important to understand Purchasing or selling securities while in possession of relevant MNPI is a violation of Federal Securities Laws on Insider Trading. This includes securities transactions for client accounts or for personal accounts you own or have beneficial ownership in. Advising others to trade in a security while in possession of relevant MNPI is also a violation of Federal Securities Laws. Private Side Employees may come into possession of MNPI in the normal course of performing their job responsibilities. This policy is intended to establish a barrier around Private Side Employees to ensure that MNPI is properly segregated with Private Side Employees and is not inappropriately shared with or accessed by other employees. Other employees can encounter MNPI as well. Employees of a Nuveen Equity and Fixed Income Adviser, or others who are not Private Side Employees, could potentially receive MNPI when interacting with executing brokers, underwriters, or officers of publicly traded companies, among others. In these cases, you must always adhere to this policy to ensure the proper handling and safeguarding of MNPI. This policy may overlap with business unit policies.

This applies to any client account or personal account you own or control. An exception may be made for a transaction in a client account where the counterparty has provided a “Big Boy Letter” that includes certain representations concerning their access to information. Get approval from Legal before executing any trade that would rely on this exception. 2. Never engage in tipping. Any type of effort to persuade, influence, or induce others to trade in an issuer’s securities while you are in possession of relevant MNPI is considered tipping. This is true even if the targets of your efforts do not know what the MNPI is or do not even know it exists. Reporting MNPI Situations 3. Learn the definition of MNPI and promptly report all instances in which you come into possession of MNPI. Always err on the side of caution. If you come into possession of information that you believe could be MNPI, report it. Prompt reporting is critical. The preferred way to report MNPI is by completing the “MNPI Reporting form” available on PTA. Alternatively, you may contact the Nuveen Ethics Office, Americas, directly, or contact your local/designated CCO, who will submit the form for you. Safeguarding MNPI 5. Exercise proper care to ensure any MNPI in your possession is not inadvertently shared with unauthorized personnel. MNPI should never be shared with anyone who does not have business purpose to possess such information. 4. Notify Compliance when any MNPI you have reported ceases to be MNPI. Use the same process as above, the "MNPI Reporting form". Examples include: • Never leave MNPI on your desk or visible on your computer screen when stepping away. Place sensitive materials in a locked drawer or cabinet at the end of each day. Adhering to these “clean desk” principles is essential to physically protecting MNPI. Do not leave any materials containing MNPI unattended in shared spaces. Take care when printing or copying documents containing MNPI to collect copies right away. Double-check conference rooms after each meeting to make sure sensitive materials haven’t been left behind. Do not discuss MNPI in any public area. Even within Nuveen, MNPI can inadvertently be transmitted in any hallway, rest room, cafeteria, elevator, or other similar areas. • A transaction has been concluded and publicly announced. A decision has been made not to pursue the transaction. The specific MNPI has aged to the point that it is no longer relevant. Financial results or projections have been publicly announced. The investment has been sold or otherwise does not exist and you are no longer receiving MNPI. The publicly traded securities no longer exist (for example, because of a restructuring). • • • • • • • PHYSICAL BARRIERS All Private Side Employees must occupy their own designated work area that is physically secure and distinct from all other Nuveen or TIAA office space. Access to Private Side office space must be secured by key card access or a locking mechanism with the same effect. Designated Private Side office space may constitute an entire floor or a cordoned-off section within a floor that may also house non-Private Side Employees. Key card access may be granted to Nuveen Executive Committee members or Nuveen Functional Support Employees who have a business purpose to gain access to designated Private Side office space. To request key card access, send an email to SecHotline@tiaa.org. The Nuveen Ethics Office is responsible for the review and approval of all access requests. All other Permanent Employees, including Nuveen Equity and Fixed Income Adviser employees, will not be granted key card access to designated Private Side office space. Non-Nuveen employees of TIAA will generally not be granted key card access to any Nuveen office space (not limited to the Private Side). All requests for key card access will be referred to the Nuveen Ethics Office, Americas, who will consider access person designation and monitoring requirements when responding to such requests.

It asks the best of who we are, and strongly encourages each of us to speak up without fear of retaliation when we suspect that something is not right. Please take the time not only to read it, but also to understand and rely upon it in the daily performance of your jobs. As the TIAA family of companies continues to grow around the world, it is imperative that we continue to hold ourselves to the highest standards of conduct and integrity.

A message from Vijay Advani In partnership with Roger Ferguson, I’m pleased to share with you the TIAA Code of Business Conduct, which applies to all of us at Nuveen as part of the TIAA family of companies.* The Code is at the heart of our values and our brand. It defines how we conduct business with our clients and how we interact with our colleagues. The principles within the Code are critical for delivering investment excellence, doing right by our clients and enabling an inclusive environment where all employees are valued and can contribute their best. Collectively, these principles safeguard one of our most precious assets—Nuveen’s reputation for honesty and integrity, which is vital to our business success. TIAA and Nuveen have been doing what is right for the client for more than 100 years. I’m proud to be with an organization that has consistently proven that ethics and integrity matter.

We work in a complicated business with many legal, regulatory and business requirements, and we face numerous demands on our time.

You should raise them by speaking to your manager or another manager, or by making a report through the Ethics Helpline. See the Reporting Possible Misconduct section for more information on how to report and to determine the most appropriate reporting solution for your concern. Guidelines for Asking Questions and Speaking Up If there is something you do not understand, ask someone who is in a position to help you.

Do not retaliate against an employee who Speaks Up.

Respect for Your Rights Nothing in this Code or any Company policy shall, or shall be construed to, limit any employee’s right, if any, to discuss the terms and conditions of employment or to engage in protected concerted activity as defined by law (such as the Section 7 of the U.S. National Labor Relations Act). In addition, neither this Code nor any Company policy shall be construed to prohibit you from filing a complaint or communicating, reporting or assisting in the reporting or investigation of possible violations of federal, state or local law or regulations to any governmental agency or self-regulatory organization, or making other disclosures that reasonably may be protected under whistleblower or other provisions of any applicable federal, state or local law or regulation. Prior authorization of, or notice to, TIAA is not required to make any such reports or disclosures.

SECTION 1.2 NUVEEN GLOBAL BUSINESS GIFT, MEAL, AND ENTERTAINMENT POLICY

GRAPHIC

 

Nuveen Compliance | 20 February 2020 Global Business Gift, Meal, and Entertainment Policy S U M M A R Y A N D S C O P E What this policy is about Ensuring that Business Gifts, Meals, and Entertainment — whether domestic or international, given or received — do not violate any laws or regulations, including the Bribery Act (UK) of 2010 and similar global anti-bribery laws. The policy also addresses the importance of avoiding, in fact or appearance, any attempt at improper influence, inducement, or compensation. You may accept Business Entertainment and Business Meals from a Business Partner only when there is a business purpose and potential business benefit for Nuveen, and ultimately for our clients. Never view an offer of Business Entertainment or Meals as an entitlement or benefit resulting from your position with Nuveen. Business Gifts, Business Meals and Business Entertainment must never be linked to a specific outcome or arrangement. Currency amounts apply as translated into the appropriate local currency. All US dollar amounts in this policy, whether for value limits, pre-clearance, or reporting thresholds, apply worldwide at the value of each local currency, measured at the time the transaction occurred. Who this policy applies to •All Permanent Employees worldwide (Greenwood and Westchester employees: only those notified by their local/ designated Chief Compliance Officer (CCO)). •Any consultants or temporary workers notified by the Nuveen Ethics Office or their local/designated CCO that this policy applies to them. Important to understand Business Gifts, Business Meals, and Business Entertainment are complex topics involving strict rules and dollar limits as well as the need for good judgment. Before offering or accepting any Business Gift, Business Meal, or Business Entertainment, it’s essential that you be familiar with the rules, including applicable pre-clearance and reporting obligations. However, it’s equally essential that you exercise appropriate judgment in situations that, even if within the rules, could appear improper to an independent observer (such as a regulator or member of the media). Exercise particular caution before providing Business Gifts, Business Meals, or Business Entertainment to government officials, as much stricter rules apply. This applies to government officials at all levels everywhere in the world. Some non-US jurisdictions set stricter rules than US, and these may apply when doing business in those jurisdictions or with Business Partners from such jurisdictions. See the tables on pages 5 and 6. nuveenethicsoffice@nuveen.com TERMS WITH SPECIAL MEANINGS Within this policy, these terms are defined as follows: Business Entertainment Any sporting event (whether you are a spectator or participant), cultural event, or similar entertainment that you and a Business Partner attend together and that one of you provided. Business Gift Anything of value that is given to, or accepted from, a Business Partner. It includes prizes (whether awarded by skill or chance) and any discount or rebate not generally available to the public. Business Meal Any meal or drinks that you and a Business Partner participated in together and that one of you provided. Exception: meals that are in connection with an approved training and education event are not considered Business Meals.

This means that there may never be an understanding (either explicit or implicit) that the Business Gift, Business Meal, or Business Entertainment is specifically linked to a certain business outcome. In particular, Business Gifts, Business Meals, or Business Entertainment cannot be received in return for the purchase or sale of any securities or other property to or from any fund, product, or account managed by Nuveen. 2. Understand what is considered a Business Gift and what is considered a Business Meal or Business Entertainment. To qualify as a Business Meal or Business Entertainment, both you and a Business Partner must be present. If that is not the case, then the value given or received must be reported as a Business Gift, meaning that it will be subject to the explicit $100 limitation on gifts. 3. Never knowingly violate a Business Partner’s gift, meal, or entertainment policies. If you think the value of a planned offer of a Business Gift, Business Meal, or Business Entertainment might exceed the Business Partner's limit, ask the Business Partner to confirm that it HOW TO PRE-CLEAR AND REPORT UNDER THIS POLICY Pre-clearance Use the Protegent PTA system (PTA) to request pre-clearance. If you don't have access to PTA, contact your local/designated CCO, who will coordinate the review and approval with both the Nuveen Ethics Office and your manager, as appropriate. Reporting • For Business Gifts, Business Meals and Business Entertainment that you provide, entries you make in the Concur or Expensys system to process expense reimbursements will also satisfy your reporting obligations under this policy. If your business group does not utilize the Concur or Expensys system, use PTA for these reports. • For Business Gifts, Business Meals and Business Entertainment that you receive, report through PTA . If you don’t have access to PTA, contact your local/designated CCO, who will coordinate the reporting with both the Nuveen Ethics Office and your manager, as appropriate. Refer to the tables on pages 5 and 6 to find out when pre-clearance or reporting is required.

Global Business Gift, Meal, and Entertainment Policy Page 3 of 7 is permissible and consult with the Nuveen Ethics Office or your local/designated CCO as appropriate. 4. Never solicit a Business Gift, Business Meal, or Business Entertainment. If someone else solicits any of these from you, politely decline, citing the need for clearance, and report the incident to the Nuveen Ethics Office. 5. Do not provide or pay for a Business Gift, Business Meal, or Business Entertainment with your own money except as specifically allowed under this policy. You must always seek reimbursement from Nuveen. Enter all Business Gifts, Business Meals, and Business Entertainment you provide into the Concur or Expensys system or your local expense reimbursement system; unless the expense is contrary to Nuveen’s expense policy, Nuveen will reimburse you. However, for cases where you have both a personal and business relationship with a Business Partner, see page 4. In certain instances, the Nuveen Ethics Office may also deem it appropriate to consult with and obtain approval from local senior management and/or directors. Additional rules for Business Gifts 9. Never give or accept cash or cash equivalents as a Business Gift. This includes securities, checks, and items such as gift cards and gift certificates. These will be considered cash equivalents even if they can be redeemed only for goods and services. 10. Report all shared Business Gifts, and include them in gift value calculations. For Business Gifts shared among Permanent Employees, one report for each Business Gift is sufficient, but each individual in the group that receives the Business Gift must be noted in the report. For gifts shared across a work group, you may alternatively list the work group and their location/floor. For Business Gifts sent to be shared among employees of a Business Partner, one report is also sufficient, and it should include a reasonable list of each employee of the Business Partner who shared in the gift. 6. Never give or receive Business Gifts, Business Meals, or Business Entertainment that are inappropriate in themselves. This applies to gifts or activities that are illegal or could otherwise raise ethical concerns or damage Nuveen’s reputation. 7. Always check the tables on pages 5 and 6 of this policy for details on whether you must pre-clear and/or report a Business Gift, Business Meal, or Business Entertainment, and whether any specific prohibitions or limits apply. The following are some key points to be aware of: Additional rules for Business Entertainment 11. As referenced in the table on pages 5 and 6, you must preclear and obtain approval from the Nuveen Ethics Office (who will consult with any applicable Chief Compliance Officer) to accept any Business Entertainment that is valued over $300 per person. Accepting Business Entertainment valued over $300 per person without obtaining pre-clearance from the Nuveen Ethics Office shall constitute a violation of this policy. The Nuveen Ethics Office will consider relevant facts and circumstances when determining whether to approve such requests. Note that the strictest application of this standard will be applied to employees engaged in portfolio management, research, or trading activities, and approval to accept Business Entertainment above the $300 threshold is unlikely. 12. If you believe there is a business benefit to attending an event that was not approved by the Ethics Office pursuant to #11 above, consult your manager. If your manager determines that the event is appropriate and beneficial from a business perspective, he/ she can authorize Nuveen to reimburse the host of the event at the greater of face value or market value. However, you must provide notice to the Nuveen Ethics Office of the intent to attend the event and commitment to reimburse the Business Partner host. Reimbursement by Nuveen validates the event’s business purpose and removes any appearance of conflict that would result if the host had funded the entertainment. Never use your own funds (without seeking reimbursement from Nuveen) to reimburse a Business Partner for the cost of attending an event. • For non-governmental Business Partners, before either providing or receiving any Business Meals, or Business Entertainment, you must pre-clear if the amount is expected to exceed $300. There is also an annual $100 limit for Business Gifts given or received, and all Business Gifts must be reported. For government officials, (US or Non-US), stricter limits and requirements apply. Certain jurisdictions may also have stricter limits, which may apply not only to government officials, but also to Business Partners more broadly. Business Meals and Business Entertainment provided or accepted on the same date are considered separate for purposes of any specific limits or requirements. • • • 8. If possible, check with your manager before submitting your pre-clearance request. In those cases where pre-clearance is required, both your manager and the Nuveen Ethics Office will need to approve, so consulting with your manager beforehand will expedite the process. Your local/designated CCO may also play a role in advising you and/or facilitating preclearance with the Nuveen Ethics Office.

Global Business Gift, Meal, and Entertainment Policy Page 4 of 7 13. Never buy tickets from, or sell tickets to, a Business Partner. In addition, do not accept tickets from a Business Partner in return for a charitable donation. 17. You may provide or receive routine ground transportation, such as train, bus, or car service, in connection with a Business Meal, Business Entertainment, or a business meeting. Such transportation does not factor into the value of any related Business Meal or Business Entertainment, and does not require pre-clearance except when it is provided to US Government Officials or Non-US Government Officials. 14. Special rules apply when using Nuveen’s season tickets or arena suites. Except when hosting US Government Officials or Non-US Government Officials, you do not need pre-clearance to host a Business Partner using any season tickets or arena suite to which Nuveen has subscribed. However, the group at Nuveen that administers these tickets must maintain records that include a description of the event and the names and employers of the Business Partners who will attend, along with the names of all Nuveen host(s). In general, the same individual should not be hosted more than four times during a calendar year. Gifts, meals, and entertainment with both business and personal elements 18. In cases where you have both a personal and business relationship with a Business Partner, you must ask the Nuveen Ethics Office to determine whether any gift, meal, or entertainment is considered personal or business. The only exception is gifts, meals, and entertainment between you and Close Family Members, which are always considered to be personal and are not subject to pre-clearance or reporting requirements. In other cases, whether gifts, meals, or entertainment are considered personal or business depends on the circumstances. Factors include: Additional rules for travel and lodging 15. Paying for lodging, air travel, or luxury rail travel as part of Business Entertainment or Business Meals is generally prohibited. However, an exception can sometimes be granted if the lodging, air travel or luxury rail travel is provided in connection with: • An investors meeting (for example, a board meeting or onsite investment property review). You must obtain pre-clearance from the Nuveen Ethics Office. A training/educational event. You must obtain preclearance from your local/designated CCO, who will coordinate with the Nuveen Ethics Office. Note that meals provided in connection with training and educational events are not considered Business Meals. (Registered representatives of Nuveen Securities, LLC should refer to its Cash and Non-Cash Compensation Policy.) A recognition event for certain Business Partners who provide services to Nuveen. You must obtain pre-clearance from the Nuveen Ethics Office. Factors affecting approval in such cases include: whether any broker-dealer registered personnel are involved, the nature of the relationship with the Business Partner, whether the Business Partner is either a US Government Official or a Non-US Government Official, and the value of the travel or lodging. • • Whether there are any actual or perceived conflicts. Whether the personal or business aspect is more significant. Who paid for the gift, meal, or entertainment (the individual or the company). The occasion (birthday or wedding vs. a business accomplishment). • • • If it might reasonably appear that you are in a position to influence Nuveen's business with the Business Partner, the gift, meal, or entertainment will generally be viewed as a Business Gift, Business Meal, or Business Entertainment (except in the case of a Close Family Member), and therefore be subject to all of the requirements of this policy. • 16. Receipt of lodging, air travel (whether on a commercial airline or private plane), or luxury rail travel from a Business Partner is also generally prohibited. An exception may sometimes be appropriate for lodging or travel offered to you in connection with, for example, invitations to speak at conferences. However all such exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. You must obtain pre-clearance from the Nuveen Ethics Office. VALUING A GIFT, MEAL OR ENTERTAINMENT • Gifts given: purchase price (excluding any taxes and shipping). •Gifts received: good-faith estimate of retail value. • Tickets received as entertainment: face value or market value, whichever is higher. You should use a ticket broker’s website to check the market value. If you need assistance, contact the Nuveen Ethics Office. • Meals or entertainment received: good-faith estimate of the cost of your portion of the meal or entertainment (including the portion associated with any guest you plan to bring or have brought). •Meals or entertainment hosted: Actual cost to Nuveen.

Nuveen Compliance | 15 February 2019 Outside Activities Policy S U M M A R Y A N D S C O P E What this policy is about Getting approval before participating in business, investment-related, and certain other types of activities outside of Nuveen. Who this policy applies to • All Permanent Employees worldwide except: - Greenwood and Westchester employees, unless otherwise notified by their local/designated Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) - employees based in France, Germany or Poland • Any consultants or temporary workers notified by Nuveen Compliance or their local Compliance Officer that this policy applies to them. Important to understand Engaging in Outside Activities could have implications for Nuveen’s business from a legal and/ or reputational perspective. Potential issues include actual or perceived conflicts of interest, interference with productivity and duties at work, and conflicts with other policies. There is also the potential for clients or others to mistakenly perceive your personal involvement as representing the involvement or approval of Nuveen. All of these factors will be considered in the approval process. Volunteer work for non-profit organizations and tax-exempt charitable, religious or fraternal organizations is generally not considered an Outside Activity. You do not need to get approval for these activities, unless your involvement includes investment related activities or board participation and the entity has revenues exceeding $50 million during the most recent fiscal year before you begin such involvement. Registered representatives have additional requirements (see page 2). RELATED POLICY: POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND ACTIVITIES Volunteering for a political entity or cause, including a candidate, PAC, party or 407(b) non-profit organization, requires pre-clearance. See the full policy document for details.

Page 2 of 2 Outside Activities Policy R E S T R I C T I O N S A N D R E Q U I R E M E N T S 1.Request approval for any Outside Activity IN ADVANCE. Both your manager and the Nuveen Ethics Office must approve any Outside Activity request, so you are encouraged to discuss your request with your manager before formally submitting. Use the PTA system to submit your request. If you do not have access to PTA, contact your local/designated CCO, who will coordinate your request with the Ethics Office. Once your request is received, the Nuveen Ethics Office will communicate with your manager — and with any business unit Chief Compliance Officer, as applicable - and will notify you of the decision. Do not engage in any Outside Activity before you receive notification of approval. 2. When initially joining Nuveen, request approval for any Outside Activity you are already engaged in. You must do this within 10 calendar days of starting at Nuveen. 3. Request an additional/new approval IN ADVANCE in relation to a previously approved Outside Activity if you anticipate any material change in responsibility or time commitment for such Outside Activity. Examples of material changes include: • Any material change in your function or responsibility (such as participating on the finance committee of a school board when your prior approval was only for board participation). • A material increase in the time you spend on an Outside Activity (such as going from 0 hours/week to 20 hours/week at a second job). 4. Consider carefully before requesting permission to join the board of a public company or a large private company or charity. In addition to requiring approval from the Nuveen Ethics Office (and potentially other Nuveen departments, such as Legal), all requests to serve on the board of a public company, a private company with more than $500 million in annual revenue, or a non-profit organization with over $50 million in annual revenue are subject to approval from TIAA's Corporate Secretary's Office. Approval is rarely granted to serve on the board of a public company, especially for individuals making investment decisions and their supervisors. The Nuveen Ethics Office will coordinate all requests with the TIAA Corporate Secretary's Office. 5. Notify the Nuveen Ethics Office within 10 calendar days any time an approved Outside Activity ceases. Email your notification to nuveenethicsoffice@nuveen.com. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR REGISTERED REPS If you hold a securities registration with FINRA or any other regulatory or self-regulatory organization, Compliance will determine whether any Outside Activity for which you are granted approval requires regulatory disclosures, and will make the disclosure for you. FINRA-registered persons must submit a pre-clearance request for nonprofit board positions (regardless of whether the organization has annual revenue exceeding $50 million) to align with FINRA Rule 3270 requirements. It is your responsibility to ensure that all regulatory disclosure about your Outside Activities is accurate and complete, especially: •The name of the business or entity. •The description of your activity. •Your position and title. •Your start date. • The approximate number of hours per month you expect to devote to the activity. EXAMPLES OF OUTSIDE ACTIVITY • Serving as a director or non-executive director, or in any other senior decision-making capacity, for any company (public or private). • Serving on the board of an industry or professional organization. • Engaging in part-time work (cashier, salesperson, waitstaff, etc.). •Serving on a board or committee of a municipal entity. •Running for political office. • Serving in any role, for any entity (including a non-profit organization) where you have any responsibility for investment-related activities. • Acting as a finder or capital raiser for any company or fund (public or private). • Serving as a condo or cooperative building board member in the US •Serving as a mediator or arbitrator. •Serving as an expert witness. •Acting as an attorney, tax preparer, or insurance broker. •Acting as a mortgage or real estate broker • Authoring a written piece that relates to financial services and is published in any medium, whether or not you are paid for writing it. • Owning or managing two or more rental units or other properties that are being rented out (for instance, an "in-law" apartment and a vacation home). •Actively managing two or more commercial properties. • "Flipping" properties (buying and re-marketing real

Do not make any Contribution or Solicitation, or engage in any Political Activities, before you get a response, and do not violate any limits or conditions indicated on any preclearance approval you receive.

SECTION 1.7 NUVEEN GLOBAL ANTI-CORRUPTION POLICY

GRAPHIC

 

Nuveen Compliance | 20 February 2020 Global Anti-Corruption Policy S U M M A R Y A N D S C O P E What this policy is about Establishing restrictions and requirements to help ensure that you do not violate certain laws or regulations concerning bribery and corruption. This policy may overlap with business unit policies. Your business area may have supplemental policies designed to prevent corruption. You are responsible for knowing which policies apply to your activities and what they mean. You are also responsible for deciding when to seek guidance or clarification. Pre-clearance from the Nuveen Ethics Office is required for many activities. The policy indicates when pre-clearance and/or reporting are necessary. In some cases you may be able to request pre-clearance through your local/ designated CCO, who will handle approval in coordination with the Nuveen Ethics Office. Additional restrictions apply in certain countries. If your work involves countries where the risks of violating bribery/corruption laws or regulations are assessed to be especially high, you will be notified by your local/designated CCO and informed of additional precautions to take. Some of these country-specific restrictions are also addressed in this policy. Who this policy applies to • All Permanent Employees worldwide. •All consultants and temporary workers notified by the Nuveen Ethics Office or their local/designated Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) that this policy applies to them. Important to understand Compliance with this policy involves knowledge of the rules as well as the need for good judgment. Following both the letter and spirit is essential to ensuring that Nuveen and the firms it works with do not violate anti-corruption laws. If you have any question about this policy, including whether an individual is considered a Recipient or whether a particular activity would be considered a policy violation, see "Who to Contact" below. Nuveen has a zero-tolerance policy for corruption. Violations of this policy can lead to disciplinary action (up to and including termination of employment), and may also be referred to outside authorities for civil, criminal, or regulatory proceedings. Even conduct that merely creates the appearance of impropriety can be grounds for disciplinary action. The key provisions of this policy extend broadly. Any quid pro quo arrangements or inducements to improperly influence a business outcome, with any commercial client in any jurisdiction, are clear violations of this policy. Bribery and Corruption in all forms are prohibited, whether with a Recipient or any other individual or entity with whom Nuveen conducts business or has dealings. This includes offering, giving, or receiving bribes as well as engaging in normally permitted activities if their intent is to effect a bribe. Laws prohibiting Bribery and Corruption exist in every country where Nuveen does business. Even when local practices or customs allow behavior that violates this policy, it is not acceptable to engage in such behavior. Note that you will not be penalized for any diminished productivity attributable to the refusal to pay a bribe.

Page 3 of 12 Global Anti-Corruption Policy R E S T R I C T I O N S A N D R E Q U I R E M E N T S Note that Concur (or your local Nuveen reimbursement system) is for reimbursement purposes only, and that you must separately file, through the channel(s) indicated for that purpose, any other required reports. 4. Never do anything that would have the effect or appearance of circumventing applicable restrictions. Never induce, or allow others to engage in, any action that violates Nuveen policy or any other applicable law, regulation, or policy. Nuveen - and you personally - can be held responsible for any violations committed by others who are acting on your instructions, or who believe they are. You can even be held responsible for violations that occurred because you turned a blind eye or were insufficiently vigilant in preventing them. 5. Always keep adequate records and documentation. Proper documentation is critical to detecting and deterring corruption and to establishing that you and Nuveen have been complying with this policy and other applicable restrictions. At any time, you may be asked to account for business-related expenses or any Nuveen resources that were placed in your control, including how they were used and for what purpose. In all hiring and business negotiations where this policy applies, keep detailed notes and ensure that the written documentation reflects every material dimension of the process and any final understanding. Make sure that all payments and other compensation to Third-Party Agents are recorded accurately, in reasonable detail, and in a timely fashion. Never create or use undisclosed or unrecorded accounts for any purpose. False, misleading, incomplete, inaccurate, or artificial entries in the books, records, or accounts of Nuveen are prohibited. 6. Promptly report any actual or possible violations of this policy. Every person subject to this policy has an affirmative duty to report violations, and to do so without delay. This includes known, suspected, or attempted violations on the part of any individual who is subject to this policy (including you) or on the part of any Recipient or Third-Party Agent. It also includes any actions designed to evade this policy. See "Who to Contact" on page 2 for the reporting instructions you must follow. In support of these obligations to report, Nuveen strictly prohibits any retribution or retaliation against anyone who, in good faith, has sought advice, has reported an actual or possible violation of this policy, or has refused to engage in conduct that violates this policy, even if their refusal has caused Nuveen to lose business. General matters 1. Never propose, initiate, participate in, agree to, or permit any arrangement that represents, or could be perceived as representing, an exchange of value in return for favorable treatment from a Recipient. This rule applies extremely broadly. It applies to Gifts, Meals, Entertainment, travel, and lodging, to hiring decisions, and to political and charitable contributions. It applies to promises of a desired outcome and to threats of an undesired outcome. It applies to things tangible and intangible, and to direct and indirect transmission or receipt of value. It also applies to all Recipients, whether clients, prospects, business partners, competitors, and past, present, or prospective employees. Any consideration involving a Recipient that is given or withheld on the basis of any improper condition, whether stated or implied, is a violation of this policy. Note that this means, for example, that even Gifts or Entertainment that are modest enough that they would normally be allowed are prohibited if they are tied to any particular favor or outcome. Note also that even when your behavior is fully consistent with all applicable restrictions, you must take all appropriate steps to ensure that the Recipient, and if possible his or her colleagues, are not under the impression that any improper benefit is intended or desired. 2. Never make any facilitation payments to a Recipient. Facilitation or "grease" payments - typically defined as small payments to officials for performing a duty that they are supposed to perform as part of their job - are not allowed. In very extreme cases (such as to avoid imminent physical danger), an exception may be granted, but you must immediately report the situation to the Nuveen Global Anti-Corruption Officer, and will need to thoroughly document the conditions that would justify the exception. 3. Never pay for any business-related expense without seeking reimbursement from Nuveen. Doing so creates the appearance of impropriety and deprives Nuveen of a level of transparency and documentation that it is legally required to maintain. Always seek reimbursement (through Concur, or your local Nuveen reimbursement system if different), for anything of value you provide to a Recipient, or to any other individual or entity at the request or suggestion of a Recipient. Your manager is responsible for reviewing your reimbursement requests, and may consult with the Nuveen Ethics Office or with Legal if appropriate.

Obtain pre-clearance from the Nuveen Ethics Office before offering or providing a Gift to a Recipient. In general, Nuveen discourages Gifts to Recipients. However, to the extent a Gift to a Recipient is customary, pre-clearance may be granted. Any Gift must meet ALL of the following criteria: The Recipient does not represent Australia, Germany, Hong Kong, Singapore, or the UK. (Entertainment for such Recipients is prohibited by local law.) The value is not excessive for the circumstances. The Entertainment is consistent with generally accepted business practices of the country and industry. The Entertainment is not intended to improperly influence the business decisions of the person(s) involved. To your knowledge, the Entertainment does not violate any applicable Nuveen policy or any law, regulation, or entity policy to which the Recipient is subject. You will be present (if not, the event is considered a Gift, and is subject to the more restrictive limits concerning Gifts). The Entertainment has a legitimate business purpose for Nuveen. You have received pre-clearance for the • • • The Recipient does not represent Australia, • Germany, Hong Kong, Singapore, or the UK. (Gifts to such Recipients are prohibited by local law.) • The value of the Gift, combined with the value of all other Gifts you have given to the same individual in the previous 12 months, is no more than USD 100 (or the equivalent in local currency). In rare cases, approval may be given to exceed this limit. • • • The value is not excessive for the circumstances. The Gift is consistent with generally accepted • • business • practices for the country and industry involved.

(Meals for such Recipients are prohibited by local law.) • You are not providing a Meal for the same Recipient more than four times per calendar year. (Multiple Meals relating to the same event are considered a single Meal for purposes of this limitation.) In those cases where Meals valued at USD 150 or less do not require pre-clearance, note the following: • Meals that were not pre-cleared must be reported within 10 calendar days. • Where events spanning more than one day may involve the provision of multiple Meals, you must obtain pre-clearance if the total value of Meals during the same event were to exceed USD 150. 11. Distinct from pre-clearance and technical compliance, consider the context before offering or providing Entertainment or Meals to a Recipient: • Who are the Recipients or private individuals to be invited to the event, what are their titles, and what organizations do they each represent? • What is the business purpose of the Entertainment or Meal? • What is the nature of the event (for instance, the setting or activity)? 12. When practical, ask potential Recipients in Australia and Hong Kong in advance. It is important to know whether they can accept any Gift, Meal, or Entertainment, whether there are any value limits or other conditions, and what information Nuveen may need to provide them to allow them to meet their reporting requirements. • The travel or lodging is consistent with generally accepted business practices of the country and industry. The travel or lodging is not intended to improperly influence the business decisions of the person(s) involved.

Nuveen is not providing any per diem or pocket money to any Recipient. Any leisure activities hosted by you or Nuveen comply with entertainment and expense guidelines. You have received pre-clearance for the travel plans and expenses from the Nuveen Ethics Office, based on a request that includes all material information available to you at the time. • • • • • To ensure transparency, Nuveen sends out invitation letters to the Recipient that include the proposed itinerary and details the expenses Nuveen will pay for. Wherever possible, you should ensure that Nuveen pays for all allowable travel expenses directly. In some circumstances, Nuveen may be able to reimburse invitees who have paid for their own travel and lodging, but such reimbursement is possible only when all necessary receipts or other documentation are submitted to Nuveen. Invitees are not prohibited from bringing guests (such as a spouse, family members, friends, or personal assistants) or from adding stopovers and side trips for pleasure. However, the invitee must pay all travel and lodging costs associated with his/her guests and with any non-business activities they add to the itinerary or schedule. Travel and lodging 13. Obtain pre-clearance from the Nuveen Ethics Office before offering or providing any air travel, luxury rail travel, or lodging (or reimbursement for same) to Recipients. Nuveen does not commonly pay for the travel and lodging costs of Recipients. However, it may do so in rare instances (for example, when the Recipient participates in Board meetings or is inspecting investment properties). Any air travel, luxury rail travel or lodging expenses must meet ALL of the following criteria: •The value is not excessive considering the circumstances and the authority of the person(s) receiving the travel or lodging. 14. Routine ground transportation, such as car service, bus, or non-luxury rail travel, may be offered to Recipients in connection with permissible meals or entertainment. The

If you are personally funding the requested donation, pre-clearance applies only if you are aware that the Recipient making the request has a connection to Nuveen's business. Making a charitable donation at the request of a Recipient is not prohibited, but all donations must be made in accordance with our high ethical standards and in compliance with all applicable laws. In addition, any charitable donations made in this context must meet ALL of the following criteria: •The payment of the donation will be made directly to the charity and not to any intermediary, agent, or other payee. •The donation will not confer a personal benefit on any Recipient and is not part of any exchange of favors. • • • 17.

If the potential donation would not be going to a government institution or agency, is any government official, or any individual who does business with Nuveen or is affiliated with entities that do business with Nuveen, affiliated with the party making the request (as a board member, known supporter, etc.)? Why is it in Nuveen's or your interest to make the requested donation? Could Nuveen or you fairly be criticized or embarrassed if it makes the donation? Recipient recommends, or of any associate of a Recipient (friends, relatives and business associates, or any candidates recommended by such individuals). You must never recommend, advance, or approve the hiring of such persons if you are aware of any reason to believe that the hiring may involve an effort to influence or secure an improper benefit for Nuveen, or may create the appearance that such a benefit exists. In addition, you must never create a position solely to provide employment for a specific individual, or tailor a job description to match a specific individual. 20. Use Nuveen’s ordinary hiring processes; do not give special treatment to Recipients or their associates. Any evaluation and engagement of candidates who are Recipients, are recommended by them, or are associated with them as described in the paragraph directly above, must be done through Nuveen's normal hiring process: • • • All candidates for the job must be evaluated on the same criteria. You must not represent or imply to any candidate, or to anyone else, that the candidate will get the job or will receive special consideration. You must not attempt to improperly influence the hiring process, such as by asking that an individual be hired as a favor to you or by falsely representing their qualifications. If a candidate is in a capacity to influence a business outcome for Nuveen, use extreme caution in discussing employment or consulting opportunities with that candidate. You must notify your local/designated CCO (who will alert the Nuveen Global Anti-Corruption Officer) before hiring anyone who is a Recipient or has been referred or recommended by one. • • • disaster relief fund. Moreover, the direct beneficiary of • Political contributions 18. Exercise caution in making any political contributions in connection with Recipients. Such contributions are not eligible for reimbursement. However, you are permitted to make them using your personal funds, so long as they are consistent with applicable legal requirements and with the spirit of this policy (for example, contributions must not be related to any improper influence). Do not make a political contribution requested by a Recipient if you are aware of any business connection between Nuveen and that Recipient, and report any such requests to the Nuveen Global Anti-Corruption Officer. • Courtesies that you would ordinarily extend to any other job applicant are acceptable. For example, you may do any or all of the following: • Accept a recommendation on hiring and pass it on to the appropriate department for consideration. Thank the individual for the recommendation. Advise the individual that Nuveen has a transparent, documented hiring process, and that hiring decisions are made only through that process. Accept a résumé or letter of recommendation from the individual and pass it on to Human Resources or the appropriate person responsible for filling the job vacancy at issue. • • HIRING INDIVIDUALS WITH GOVERNMENT CONNECTIONS 19. Never hire a Recipient, or an individual associated with a Recipient, in order to gain an improper benefit. While there is no absolute prohibition on hiring Recipients, always exercise caution. Extend the same caution to the hiring of any candidate a • SITUATIONAL EXAMPLE — CHARITABLE DONATIONS A Recipient, who is also an investor in a Nuveen fund, tells you that he is the Fundraising Committee Chair for his former university. He asks whether Nuveen would be interested in making a donation to the university. Analysis: This request is unlikely to be approved. It should be considered whether the requesting Recipient would receive some intangible benefit from his former university, or whether he appears to be attempting to link the donation to any decisions with respect to his investments in Nuveen. The analysis would be different if the request was for a donation to a government-sponsored fund established to aid victims of a recent earthquake in the official's country, particularly if it was clear that other companies were being asked to make similar donations. In that case, the Recipient would be doing his official duty in soliciting donations for this the donation would be the government, not some institution important only to the requesting official.

Once all required approvals have been obtained, sending copies of all records related to the due diligence and the engagement to your local/designated CCO, who will provide copies to the Nuveen Global Anti-Corruption Officer. Third-Party Agents SELECTION, DUE DILIGENCE, AND REVIEWS 21. Perform appropriate due diligence before contracting with any Third-Party Agents. While Third-Party Agents are important to Nuveen's business development plans, it is essential to take all appropriate steps to ensure that Nuveen only engages Third-Party Agents who are expected to conduct themselves in a way that would not create liabilities - whether civil, criminal, or reputational - that could be imputed to Nuveen. Any business area seeking to engage a Third-Party Agent must appoint an individual who is responsible for following the due diligence process established within the business entity/group. (Contact the Nuveen Global Anti-Corruption Officer if you would like to review a sample diligence questionnaire.) All due diligence efforts must be documented and risk-based. As part of a risk-based, due diligence program, business areas should be guided by these best practices: • • The local/designated CCO must review and consult with Legal, and with the Nuveen Global Anti-Corruption Officer as necessary, in regard to all Third-Party Agent due diligence materials submitted, and determine whether additional actions must be taken prior to engaging the Third-Party Agent. The applicable Nuveen business area will maintain all documentation related to the Third-Party Agent. The degree of due diligence efforts required will depend on the level of risk presented by the Third-Party Agent. For example, property managers who interact with Recipients in regard to licensing/permitting activities on behalf of Nuveen would present greater risk and should receive greater review than, say, real estate brokers who do not regularly interact with Recipients. Each business area should work with the Nuveen Global Anti-Corruption Officer to calibrate their risk-based due diligence program. 22. Re-perform the due diligence for each Third-Party Agent on a regular basis, in consultation with the local/designated CCO. Each business area that has contracts with Third-Party Agents must appoint an individual who is responsible for refreshing the due diligence on each Third-Party Agent at such intervals (annually, biannually, etc.) as may be appropriate. When the engagement of a Third-Party Agent ends, the local/designated CCO must notify the Nuveen Global Anti-Corruption Officer. Identifying the entity's ownership structure and verifying its regulatory approvals and licenses. Determining whether the entity has been subject to any legal or regulatory actions, and whether it and/or its owners are listed on any global sanctions lists. Ensuring that the proposed Third-Party Agent is qualified to perform the work and has relevant prior experience. Requesting the Anti-Corruption Policy of the Third-Party Agent and sharing it with the local/designated CCO for review and feedback or, alternatively, obtaining an executed representation from the Third-Party Agent that it will comply with anti-corruption laws. (Contact the Nuveen Global Anti-Corruption Office for a copy of the representation letter.) Ensuring that an appropriate level of business management has reviewed the due diligence and any related materials, and has shared them with the local/ designated CCO. Verifying that the contractual amounts of any commissions or other compensation to be paid to the Third-Party Agent are customary and reasonable for the services provided. Ensuring that Legal has approved the final form of engagement letter or agreement with the Third-Party Agent, and that language is included in the agreement that requires, where appropriate, compliance with anti-corruption obligations when acting on behalf of Nuveen. Verifying that all material terms of the proposed business agreement are correctly represented • • • • • INTERACTIONS AND "RED FLAGS" 23. Hold Third-Party Agents to Nuveen’s high ethical standards. You must not circumvent Nuveen's policies and procedures by using a Third-Party Agent to do what Nuveen is prohibited from doing itself. A Third-Party Agent may mistakenly believe that as a local individual or company it enjoys more freedom to "play by the local rules." However, it is never acceptable for Nuveen's policies to be circumvented in this manner. Misconduct by Third-Party Agents can create legal, reputational, political, and financial risks to Nuveen - and to any individual who is implicated by virtue of their actions or their duties. • •

Page 10 of 12 Global Anti-Corruption Policy facts, there are a number of "red flags" that may signify a heightened risk to Nuveen: Verify that all payments associated with Third-Party Agents are in line with the contract and appear proper in all regards. Each business area that has contracts with Third-Party Agents must make arrangements with its Finance function to monitor the payment activities associated with each Third-Party Agent. This includes: • Ensuring that commissions, expenses, and other payments are properly reflected in accounting books and records and financial statements, and are not falsified or disguised in any way. • Ensuring that no payments of commissions or other compensation are made in cash, to any other person, to bank accounts that are not in the Third-Party Agent's name, or to an account in a country that is not the country where the services were provided or where the Third-Party Agent has an office. 24. Always remain alert for "red flags" and immediately report (as described on page 1) any that you see. This applies not only to relationships with Third-Party Agents but to relationships with any other counterparty, such as a business partner, sub-contractor to the Third-Party Agent, or a government official. While each relationship should be evaluated on its specific A party that should be neutral (such as a Recipient) recommends a specific person or company to serve as a Third-Party Agent. A party seems indifferent to the price it is paying for Nuveen products or other products or services. A party requests that payments be made to or through a third-party or to a third-country bank account, or requests other unusual financial arrangements without reasonable explanation.

Make sure that in all cases, the goods or services provided and the terms of payment are clearly specified in the contract. There must not be any material aspects of the agreement that are left to oral understanding or to side documents that are not acknowledged in the contract. 27. Avoid non-standard terms wherever possible. Nonstandard terms in transactions – such as prepayments or delayed billing arrangements – can be used to hide improprieties or to circumvent policies, regulations, and laws. When a counterparty requests non-standard terms, use caution in accepting them. If in doubt, consult your local/designated CCO, the Nuveen Global Anti-Corruption Officer, or Legal. 28. Obtain all necessary contract approvals. All contracts with counterparties must be reviewed and approved by Legal and by the relevant business area head (or delegate). Once fully reviewed and approved, the contract must be signed by a Permanent Employee who has the proper authority to do so. Contracts with other parties 25. Perform appropriate due diligence when engaging in transactional activity. If your business unit is involved in acquiring companies that are based outside of the US or have non-US operations, your business unit CCO will establish appropriate due diligence procedures to be performed on the relevant parties in each transaction. These procedures will be designed to identify any risk of successor liability from an acquisition. For transactions that involve a joint venture, or the disposition of an asset in which the business unit would retain an ownership interest, your business unit CCO will establish appropriate due diligence procedures to be performed on the relevant parties to identify any reputational or related risks. 26.

SECTION 1.8 NUVEEN REPORTABLE EVENTS POLICY

GRAPHIC

 

Nuveen Compliance | 16 April 2020 Reportable Events Policy S U M M A R Y A N D S C O P E Important to understand If an event is reportable, it doesn’t matter where it happened or who the legal or regulatory authority or other opposing party is. With Reportable Events, the financial service industry's focus is on circumstances that could appear to call into question an individual's ethics or judgment. Consequently, you must report to Nuveen Compliance, Americas, or your local/designated CCO any reportable interaction with any authority that has jurisdiction over the matter - civil or military; domestic or foreign; regulatory or self-regulatory; municipal, state, or federal. This includes securities exchanges and professional associations. In turn, Nuveen must review each Reportable Event and may submit reports to those authorities that require them. Failure to disclose a Reportable Event can have repercussions for you and for Nuveen. If you have any doubt whether something is reportable, contact Nuveen Compliance, Americas or your local/designated CCO. In many cases, each stage of a proceeding must be reported separately as its own Reportable Event. For instance, the filing of a complaint by a financial regulator or law enforcement agency and the resolution of that complaint are each Reportable Events. An arraignment, conviction, and sentencing constitute three separate Reportable Events, even if all are related to the same alleged crime. What this policy is about Establishing requirements to help ensure you report certain legal, financial, or other Reportable Events to Nuveen Compliance that involve you or any entity you controlled at the time of the event. Who this policy applies to • Canada. All Permanent Employees based in the US and • All Permanent Employees of any US-registered investment adviser who are based outside the US. • Any consultants, interns, or temporary workers in the US or Canada notified by Nuveen Compliance, Americas or their local/designated Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) that this policy applies to them. TERMS WITH SPECIAL MEANINGS Within this policy, these terms are defined as follows: Nuveen, LLC and all of its direct or indirect subsidiaries worldwide. Permanent Employees Any full-or part-time employee of Nuveen, NOT including consultants and temporary workers. WHO TO CONTACT Nuveen Compliance, Americas brokerdealercomp@nuveen.com

Submit your pre-clearance request through the PTA system, or if time-sensitive, call the Nuveen Ethics Hotline. You can also request preclearance by contacting your local/designated CCO, who will coordinate with the Nuveen Ethics Office. Be aware that some states and municipalities prohibit gifts, meals, or entertainment of any type, form, or value. As a result, the pre-clearance requirement for gifts extends to all items bearing a Nuveen logo. 4. In rare circumstances where pre-clearance is not possible, you may report solicitations or business meals, within two business days after the fact. This applies only if an unanticipated opportunity arises to engage in a solicitation with, or provide food or beverages to, a Stat e or Local Government Official and there is not enough time to obtain pre-clearance. This is not without risk, so preclearance is always the most prudent course of action. Note that gifts, entertainment, and Lobbying must be pre-cleared in all circumstances. 5. Be aware that Third-Party Solicitors are contractually prohibited from soliciting State or Local Government Entities, or from receiving "finders fees" for helping Nuveen obtain or retain State or Local Government Entities as clients. Third-Party Solicitors could create liability for Nuveen, and accordingly, adequate due diligence is essential and continual supervision may be necessary. Exceptions to this restriction may be made based on facts and circumstances. Contact the Nuveen Ethics Office or your local/designated CCO for more information. 3. Strictly observe any requirements or conditions attached to the Nuveen Ethics Office's approval. For example, you may be required to complete a training course held by the State or Local Government Entity's designated ethics office, track the time and expenses you incur in connection with soliciting or Lobbying the State or Local Government Entity, or meet other compliance obligations (see the box on the following page).

Nuveen Compliance | January 13, 2020 Volcker Rule Policy S U M M A R Y A N D S C O P E What this policy is about Ensuring that Nuveen complies with all applicable requirements of the Volcker Rule, including restrictions on Proprietary Trading and on activities involving Covered Funds. This policy also extends to pooled vehicles and accounts deemed Volcker Affiliates for which Nuveen has responsibility, through an agreement or arrangement, for Volcker Rule compliance. The Volcker Rule directly affects some employee investments. Personal investment in a Nuveen-Sponsored Covered Fund must be pre-cleared to avoid company level penalties. Use the Protegent PTA system (PTA), or do as otherwise directed in your local policy on personal account dealing. Who this policy applies to • All Permanent Employees worldwide. •Any consultants or temporary workers notified by the Nuveen Ethics Office or their local/designated Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) that this policy applies to them. Important to understand Volcker Rule trading restrictions apply more widely than may be apparent and can create serious consequences if violated. As a subsidiary of TIAA, Nuveen is deemed under the Volcker Rule to be a Banking Entity. This means that Nuveen is subject to the restrictions and limitations imposed by the Volcker Rule. In addition, Nuveen is responsible for managing certain pooled vehicles and accounts, e.g., separate accounts. These vehicles and accounts may also be deemed Banking Entities. Subject to certain exemptions and exclusions, the Volcker Rule prohibits or limits the following activities by Banking Entities: • • Proprietary Trading; Acquiring or retaining any equity, partnership, or other Ownership Interest in a Covered Fund; and Acting as a Sponsor of or engaging in certain activities, relationships, or transactions with a Covered Fund. • WHO TO CONTACT For questions about this policy and the Volcker Rule contact: Nuveen Volcker Rule Compliance or your local/ designated CCO or Legal team member.

Volcker Rule Policy Page 2 of 3 RE STRICT IONS A N D R E Q U IR E M E N T S 1.Consult with Nuveen Legal before taking any action that might be considered Proprietary Trading. Nuveen and other Volcker Affiliates are generally prohibited from engaging in Proprietary Trading with their own balance sheets. However, important exceptions may be available for certain Volcker Affiliates (for example, insurance general accounts). If you are unsure whether any action you propose to take could be deemed Proprietary Trading on behalf of Nuveen or a Volcker Affiliate, consult with Nuveen Legal. 2. Obtain pre-clearance from Nuveen Legal by using the appropriate Volcker Rule pre-clearance form before forming, serving as the Sponsor of, or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Covered Fund on behalf of Nuveen or any other Volcker Affiliate. Volcker Affiliates are generally prohibited from engaging in such activities, however, certain exemptions may be available (such as insurance general accounts holding Ownership Interests in Covered Funds). 3. Obtain pre-clearance from Nuveen Legal before engaging in any transaction between a Volcker Affiliate and a Nuveen or TIAA (or one of their Volcker Affiliates) sponsored Covered Fund. Such transactions may be considered prohibited transactions under so-called `Super 23A' (prohibiting credit support, guarantees and the like in favor of these Covered Funds) and `Section 23B' (requiring among other things arms' length terms for transactions with Covered Funds) provisions of the Volcker Rule. 4. Obtain pre-clearance from Nuveen Legal using the appropriate Volcker Rule pre-clearance form before investing in equities (or equity-like fixed income positions) for any Volcker Affiliate that is not a Covered Fund. Such positions may cause the entity in which the investment is made to be, a Volcker Affiliate and potentially a Banking Entity that could itself be subject to the Volcker Rule and this policy. In addition, such equity positions may inadvertently represent Ownership Interests in Covered Funds (see Item 2 above). TERMS WITH SPECIAL MEANINGS Within this policy, these terms are defined as follows: Banking Entity Generally, any insured depository institution, or any company that controls, is a subsidiary, or is a Volcker Affiliate of one. Covered Funds, even if Volcker Affiliates, are not deemed Banking Entities, although sponsorship and investing activities in respect of Covered Funds regardless of their status under this definition are governed by the Volcker Rule, as described below. Covered Fund Generally any hedge fund, private equity fund, private commodity pool or other private fund offered in the U.S. or a foreign country. A collateralized loan obligation may not be considered a Covered Fund if it only holds loans and hedging instruments and meets certain other conditions. Registered Funds are specifically excluded from the definition of Covered Fund. Nuveen, LLC and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries worldwide. Nuveen Volcker Rule Compliance The Compliance team responsible for maintaining and administering Nuveen’s Volcker Rule Compliance program, including this policy. Ownership Interest Equity, partnership, or other similar interest in a Covered Fund, including debt instruments with equity-like characteristics, but excluding a "restricted profit interest" (generally, an interest the sole purpose and effect of which is to allow the receipt of performance compensation from the Covered Fund). Permanent Employee Any full-or part-time employee of Nuveen, NOT including consultants and temporary workers. Proprietary Trading A Banking Entity engaging as a principal for its own "trading account" (as defined in the Volcker Rule) in any transaction to purchase or sell, or otherwise acquire or dispose of: (i) any security; (ii) any derivative; (iii) any contract of sale of a commodity for future delivery; or (iv) any option on any such security or derivative. Registered Fund Any registered investment company (such as a mutual fund, closed-end fund, or ETF), business development company, or foreign public fund (such as UCITS). CREF is also a Registered Fund for these purposes. Sponsor Any individual or entity that: • is a general partner, managing member, trustee or commodity pool operator of a Covered Fund; • selects or controls (or its employees, officers, directors or agents constitute) a majority of the directors, trustees, or management of a Covered Fund. TIAA Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including (for these purposes) TIAA, FSB, a federally insured depository institution. Volcker Affiliate (i) Nuveen, LLC and each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries; and (2) any other Banking Entities that control, are controlled by or are under common control with TIAA for which Nuveen employees have responsibility when engaging in transactions for such legal entities.

Volcker Rule Policy Page 3 of 3 5. Obtain pre-clearance from Nuveen Legal using the appropriate Volcker Rule pre-clearance form before investing in equities (or equity -like fixed income positions) on behalf of any Volcker Affiliate that is not a Covered Fund. Such positions may cause the downstream entity in which the equity or equity-like investment is made to be a Volcker Affiliate and potentially a Banking Entity that could itself be subject to the Volcker Rule and this policy. In addition, such equity positions may inadvertently represent Ownership Interests in Covered Funds (see Item 2 above). 6. Obtain pre-clearance by submitting a Private Placement pre-clearance request through PTA (or as otherwise directed under local policies) before obtaining a Beneficial Interest in a Nuveen sponsored Covered Fund, or allowing a household member to do so. "Beneficial Interest" and "Household Member" are defined in the Nuveen Code of Ethics Policies. If you are involved in activities related to Nuveen’s sponsorship of a Covered Fund and become aware of an employee of Nuveen, TIAA or any other Volcker Affiliate investing in such fund, please consult with Nuveen Legal immediately. (Under the Volcker Rule, employees of TIAA and its Volcker Affiliates may be restricted from investing in certain Nuveen-sponsored Covered Funds). 7. Complete annual Volcker Rule compliance training. Nuveen Volcker Rule Compliance and/or your local/designated CCO will assign training if your business area or job responsibilities include activities subject to the Volcker Rule (such as investment, sponsorship and/or trading activities). 8. Do not create or permit employee compensation arrangements that are designed to reward or incentivize prohibited Proprietary Trading or Covered Fund activities or excessive or imprudent risk taking. Nuveen Human Resources should consult with Nuveen Legal before offering any compensation arrangement that could implicate the Volcker Rule. 9. When in doubt, consult with Nuveen Volcker Rule Compliance or your local/designated CCO. If you are unsure whether something that you are proposing to do would implicate the Volcker Rule and this policy, always involve your local/designated CCO, who can review the situation with Nuveen Legal. "Nuveen Code of Ethics Policies"). RELATED POLICIES The topics covered in this policy are closely related to those covered in the Nuveen Code of Ethics, the Nuveen Code of Ethics/Personal Account Dealing - Europe and Asia-Pacific, and the Gresham Code of Ethics policies (together, The Nuveen Code of Ethics and the Gresham Code of Ethics already require employees and their household members to pre-clear a personal investment in any private placement, including in any private funds advised or subadvised by Nuveen. All pre-clearance requests regarding investments in Nuveen-sponsored Covered Funds will undergo extra scrutiny to ensure compliance with the Volcker Rule. See the full Nuveen Code of Ethics Policies for details. In addition, TIAA has adopted an enterprise-wide Volcker Rule Policy that is overseen by TIAA executive management and the TIAA Board of Trustees. This Nuveen Volcker Rule Policy is intended to supplement and not contradict such TIAA Policy.
