Performance data shown represents past performance and does not predict or guarantee future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that shares redeemed may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Total returns for a period of less than one year are cumulative. Returns assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Market price returns are based on the closing market price. For performance current to the most recent month-end, call 800.752.8700.

Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price as opposed to net asset value. As a result, an investor may pay more than net asset value when buying and receive less than net asset value when selling. In addition, brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Fund shares are not individually redeemable directly with the Fund, but blocks of shares may be acquired from the Fund and tendered for redemption to the Fund by certain institutional investors in Creation Units.

Maturity breakdown in years

Top states

Positions are subject to change. Positions of inverse floating rate securities, if any, show the amount of the residual inverse floater only, and not the amount of the underlying bond and any associated liability to the holder of the associated floating rate security, and therefore this presentation may not be fully consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.

Credit quality

Ratings shown are the lowest rating given by one of the following national rating agencies: S&P, Moody's or Fitch. Credit ratings are subject to change. AAA, AA, A, and BBB are investment grade ratings; BB, B, CCC/CC/C and D are below-investment grade ratings. Holdings designated Not Rated are not rated by these national rating agencies.

Sector allocation

Sector allocation tables include exposures achieved through credit default swaps. Such exposures are reflected based on the notional value (rather than the market value) of the swaps, with exposures weighted negatively when the Fund has purchased credit protection and positively when the Fund has sold credit protection. Other reflects an offset to (i.e. the inverse of) such notional amounts, and any sectors not specifically identified. Because credit default swaps’ returns are not perfectly correlated with individual portfolio securities’ returns, there may be excess gains or losses from the use of the swaps. Negative sector weightings may result from the use of derivatives and from unsettled trade positions. Positions are subject to change.

Investing involves risk; prinicipal loss is possible. There is no guarantee the Fund's investment objectives will be achieved. The Nuveen High Yield Municipal Income ETF concentrates in non-investment-grade and unrated bonds with long maturities and durations which carry market risk, credit risk, interest rate/duration risk, call risk, tax risk, political and economic risk, derivatives risk, and income risk. Income is generally exempt from regular federal income tax and may be subject to state and local taxes, based on the investor’s state of residence, as well as to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT). Capital gains, if any, are subject to tax. Income from municipal bonds could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct of a bond issuer. Please contact a tax advisor regarding the suitability of tax-exempt investments as Nuveen and its investment specialists do not provide tax advice. There are special risks associated with investments in high yield bonds. Lower rated and/or non-rated bonds commonly referred to as "high yield" or "junk" bonds are considered to be speculative, with heightened credit and investment risk. Bond insurance guarantees only the payment of principal and interest on the bond when due, and not the value of the bonds themselves, which can fluctuate. No representation is made as to an insurer's ability to meet their commitments.

Bloomberg U.S. Securitized Index is a subset of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which is an index designed to measure the performance of the USD-denominated, fixed-rate, U.S. investment grade taxable bond market. The index includes mortgage-backed-securities (MBS), asset-backed securities (ABS), commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and covered assets. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.

Nuveen ESG USA Large-Cap Index is a custom index that is owned and calculated by MSCI, is based on the MSCI USA Index and aims to increase exposure to positive environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors and exhibit lower carbon exposure as compared to the MSCI USA Index.

MSCI ESG Quality Score ("Quality Score") measures the ability of underlying holdings to manage key medium to long-term risks and opportunities arising from environmental, social, and governance factors. The Quality Score is calculated as the weighted average of the underlying holdings' ESG Scores. The Quality Score is provided on a 0-10 score, with 0 and 10 being the respective lowest and highest possible fund scores. MSCI rates underlying holdings according to their exposure to 37 industry specific ESG risks and their ability to manage those risks relative to peers. Carbon Intensity Score is measured in tons CO2/$M sales. Since companies with higher carbon intensity are likely to face more exposure to carbon related market and regulatory risks, this metric indicates a fund’s exposure to potential climate change-related risks relative to other funds or a benchmark. To be included in MSCI Fund Metrics, 65% of the fund’s gross weight must come from securities covered by MSCI ESG Research, the fund’s holdings date must be less than one year old, and the fund must have at least ten securities.
