A Word On Risk
| The Fund is a 'fund of funds' that invests principally in shares of other registered investment companies, including open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (the Underlying Funds). The Fund invests principally in Underlying Funds within the Nuveen family of funds. Because the Funds assets are invested primarily in shares of the Underlying Funds, the Funds investment performance and risks are directly related to the investment performance and risks of the Underlying Funds. An investor should carefully consider the risks of the Underlying Funds. The Fund and the Underlying Funds have operating expenses, and you will bear not only your share of the Funds expenses, but also the Funds proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds. An investment in the Fund is subject to equity market risk, or the risk that one or more stocks in the Underlying Funds may decline in value. This risk can be greater for small and medium market capitalization companies. The Underlying Funds investments in non-U.S. equities also presents the risk that non-U.S. securities will be more volatile than U.S. stocks due to such factors as adverse economic, currency, political, social or regulatory developments in a country. To the extent an Underlying Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in equity securities of companies in the same economic sector, such Underlying Fund is more susceptible to economic, political, regulatory and other occurrences influencing that sector. As with any mutual fund investment, loss of principal is a risk of investing in the Fund. |
