Important information on risk
Investing in closed-end funds involves risk; principal loss is possible. There is no guarantee the Fund's investment objectives will be achieved. Closed-end fund shares may frequently trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value.
Allocation Risk. The Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective depends upon the Fund's sub-adviser, Nuveen Asset Management's skill in determining the Fund's allocation to differen tsub-advisers and strategies. There is the riskthat that Nuveen Asset Management's evaluations and assumptions used in making such allocations may be incorrect.
Leverage increases return volatility and magnifies the Fund's potential return and its risks; there is no guarantee a fund's leverage strategy will be successful.
Common stocks have experienced significantly more volatility in returns and may significantly underperform relative to debt securities during certain periods.
Preferred securities are subordinated to bonds and other debt instruments in a company's capital structure, and therefore are subject to greater credit risk. Issuers of
debt instruments in which the Fund may invest may default on their obligations to pay principalor interest when due. The Fund is subject to
interest rate risk; as interest ratesrise, bond prices fall. Investments of
below investment grade quality are regarded as having speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay dividends or interest and repay principal, and may be subject to higher price volatility and default risk than investment grade investments of comparable terms and duration. Lower credit debt securities may be more likely to fail to make timely interest or principal payments. Investments in
non-U.S. securities involve special risks not typically associated with domestic investments including currency risk, if not hedged - the risk that changes in exchange rates will affect the value of the fund's investments, as well as adverse political, social and economic developments. These risks often are magnified in
emerging markets. These and other risk considerations such as
foreign currency risk are described in more detail in the Shareholder Update section of the Fund's annual report at
nuveen.com/NMAI-annual-report.
An investment in this fund presents a number of risks and is not suitable for all investors. Investors should carefully review and consider potential risks before investing.
The London Interbank Offered Rate or LIBOR, is used throughout global banking and financial industries to determine interest rates for a variety of financial instruments (such as debt instruments and derivatives) and borrowing arrangements. The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority has undertaken a multi-year phase out of LIBOR. As a result, the administrator of LIBOR ceased publishing certain LIBOR settings after December 31, 2021 and expects to cease publication of all settings after June 30, 2023. The transition away from LIBOR may involve, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR, such as floating-rate debt obligations.
