A Word On Risk
| An investment in the Fund is subject to market risk or the risk that stocks in the portfolio will decline in response to such factors as adverse company news or industry developments or a general economic decline. In addition, small-cap stocks may be subject to greater volatility and price fluctuations. As with any mutual fund, possible loss of principal is a risk of investing. |

Investment Style
Style boxes reflect the investment strategies and various types of securities in which the fund intends to principally invest as outlined in the prospectus. A box will be filled in if a fund invests a substantial amount under normal circumstances in that category. Market capitalization represents Nuveen Investments’ standard definitions for the aggregate value of a company or stock. "Large Cap" represents $5 billion and above; "Medium" or "Mid-Cap" represents $1 billion to $5 billion; "Small-Cap" represents less than $1 billion. Style represents the approach to investing. Growth seeks companies with above average earnings growth or potential; Value seeks stocks priced near or below the value of the company’s assets. Blend is a mixture of both value and growth stocks in a fund.
