Fund description

The Fund employs a passive management (or “indexing”) approach, investing primarily in large-capitalization U.S. equity securities that satisfy certain environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) criteria.

**Distributions are currently estimated to include the following amounts from sources other than net investment income: {248F5C4F-D724-4E92-B0D7-82F9D1E3ED7C_ETF-Distratepctcapitalgains}% capital gains and {3F16BC3F-ED3D-418C-A705-86A21F852B47_ETF-Distratepctretcapital}% return of capital.
Distribution rate at NAV is calculated by annualizing the most recent declared regular distribution and dividing by the fund's NAV.
Special distributions, including special capital gains distributions, are not included in the calculation. If the fund’s distribution includes anything other than net investment income, the fund provides a 19a notice of the best estimate of its distribution sources at that time which may be viewed in the Fund’s literature section under 19(a) notices. These estimates may not match the final tax characterization (for the full year's distributions) contained in shareholders' 1099-DIV forms after the end of the year. The distribution rate should not be confused with yield or performance.

Index description

The ICE BofA Enhanced Yield U.S. Broad Bond Index (the “Enhanced Index”) is designed to broadly capture the U.S. investment grade fixed income market. Rather than weighting by capitalization, the Enhanced Index uses a rules-based methodology that allocates higher weights to securities and sectors that have the potential for higher yield while maintaining comparable risk.

Index provider: Bloomberg MSCI

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.

Investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. There is no guarantee the Fund's investment objectives will be achieved. An exchange-traded fund seeks to generally track the investment results of an index; however the Fund may underperform, outperform or be more volatile than the referenced index. Interest rate risk occurs when interest rates rise causing bond prices to fall. Credit risk arises from an issuer's ability to make interest and principal payments when due, as well as the prices of bonds declining when an issuer's credit quality is expected to deteriorate. These and other risk considerations are described in detail in the Fund's prospectus.

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.

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) may not be marketed or advertised as an open-end investment company or mutual fund.

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.
