Fund highlights
  • Duration Management: Seeks to reduce interest rate sensitivity by investing in high yielding bonds with a portfolio average effective duration of less than 4.5 years
  • Experienced Credit Research: Over 20 credit analysts seek to uncover investment opportunities, especially in nonrated and mid- to low-grade municipals
  • Active Management: Access to an institutional municipal bond manager that may capitalize on potential inefficiencies in the municipal market

Fund description

The Fund seeks high current income exempt from regular federal income taxes by investing in municipal bonds, a substantial portion of which may be rated below investment-grade, while maintaining a weighted average effective portfolio duration of less than 4.5 years. The Fund may opportunistically employ leverage through the use of inverse floating rate securities.

**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. The distribution rate should not be confused with yield or performance.

  • Morningstar Ratings

Average cumulative returns

Morningstar ratings

Morningstar ratings are based on historical risk-adjusted total returns, which are not indicative of future results.

Performance data shown represents past performance and does not predict or guarantee future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Net Asset Value (NAV) Total returns assume reinvestment of distributions, and if shown for a period of less than one year are cumulative. Market price returns are based on the closing market price on the date shown. For performance current to the most recent month-end, call 800.752.8700 or visit nuveen.com

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

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.

All characteristics as a percentage of the fund's total net assets. Holdings and ratings are subject to change. Totals may not add up to 100% due to rounding.

Top portfolio positions

Holdings are subject to change and may not be representative of the Fund's current or future investments. The holdings listed only include the Fund's long-term investments and may exclude any temporary cash investments and equity index products. The holdings listed are not recommendations to buy or sell.

Important information on risk

riskESDH

It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

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

CFA® and Chartered Financial Analyst® are registered trademarks owned by CFA Institute.

The Morningstar RatingTM for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. ©2026 Morningstar, Inc.
