|
| High yield as a portion of your fixed income allocations |
| Within the fixed income portion of a portfolio, high yield as a category is
worth exploring. Investors who are seeking current income or want to offset
other losses may benefit from the higher yield potential typically associated
with these bonds. The tradeoff is higher risk than that associated with other
fixed income investments such as higher quality debt securities or bonds with
shorter maturities.

| A WORD ON RISK |
| An investment in the Nuveen High Yield Bond Fund is subject to certain risks,
including credit risk—the risk that an issuer of a bond will be unable to make
interest and principal payments when due. In general, lower rated bonds such as
those held by the Fund, carry greater credit risk and can be subject to greater
price volatility; interest rate risk—the risk that interest rates will rise,
causing bond prices to fall. Derivatives risk-the use of which can lead to
losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying
asset; and Foreign risk—the risk that foreign securities will be more volatile
than U.S. securities due to such factors as adverse economic, currency,
political, social or regulatory developments in a country, including government
seizure of assets, excessive taxation, limitations on the use or transfer of
assets, the lack of liquidity or regulatory controls or differing legal and/or
accounting standards.
|
|
| Investing in the Nuveen High Yield Municipal Bond Fund involves interest rate
risk, the risk that interest rates will rise, causing bond prices to fall; and
credit risk, the risk that an issuer of a municipal bond will be unable to make
interest and principal payments. Because Nuveen High Yield Municipal Bond Fund
invests in lower rated municipal bonds, commonly referred to as “high yield” or
“junk” bonds, which are considered to be speculative, the credit and investment
risk is heightened for the Fund. As with any mutual fund, loss of principal is
a risk of investing.
