Fund highlights
  • Monthly tax-exempt income: The Fund seeks to provide a high level of regular income to help investors meet goals for income and tax efficiency.
  • Enhanced yield and total return potential: The team searches for higher-yielding and undervalued municipal bonds that may offer enhanced yield and capital appreciation potential, with flexibility to invest in less liquid securities based on the fund's structure.
  • Tap into experience: One of the industry's largest credit research teams uncovers opportunities that others may overlook.

Fund description

The fund focuses primarily on non-investment grade and unrated municipal bonds, as well as special situations municipal securities.* The investment team targets municipal bond market inefficiencies to capitalize on opportunities, seeking to provide investors with a high level of tax-exempt income and the potential for capital appreciation.

* Special situations include distressed and defaulted 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.

Fund basics

Capital structure

Leverage

*The ratio of total assets of the Fund, less all liabilities that are not outstanding borrowings or outstanding preferreds, at par, to the sum of the Fund’s outstanding borrowings and outstanding preferreds, at par.

**The annualized ratio of the sum of leverage costs to the average leverage amount for a given time period.

Annual expense ratios

Adjusted expense ratio excludes leverage financing expenses, including interest expenses and other leverage-related expenses. Nuveen earns a management fee on total investment capital, which includes common assets as well as assets attributable to the Fund’s issuance of senior securities (e.g. preferred shares and debt), that is displayed in Management Fee on Managed Assets.

For Class A1 and Class A2 Common Shares, the Fund has adopted a Distribution and Servicing Plan. The Distribution and Servicing Plan permits the Fund to compensate the Distributor for using reasonable efforts to secure purchasers of the Fund's Common Shares, including by providing continuing information and investment services and/or by making payments to certain authorized institutions in connection with the sale of Common Shares or servicing of shareholder accounts. The maximum annual rates at which the distribution and/or servicing fees may be paid under the Distribution and Servicing Plan (calculated as a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to the respective common share classes) is 0.75% for Class A1 and 0.50% for Class A2. Please refer to the prospectus for more information about fees and expenses.

Expense ratios do not include interest expenses arising from the application of SFAS No. 140 to certain inverse floating rate securities (if any) held by the Fund. Interest expense arises because accounting rules require the Fund to treat interest paid by trusts issuing certain inverse floating rate instruments held by the Fund as having been paid (indirectly) by the Fund. Because the Fund also recognizes a corresponding amount of additional income earned (also indirectly), the Fund's net asset value per share, net investment income and total return have not been affected by this accounting treatment. See the Fund's Annual Report for information on the Fund's inverse floating rate investments and recognized interest expense.​

Expense ratios are calculated using the prior 12 months of expense data as of the previous quarter-end. The Fund’s adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses through July 31, 2026 so that the total annual operating expenses of the Fund (excluding distribution and service fees and certain other expenses) do not exceed 1.05% of the average daily managed assets of any class of Fund shares. See the prospectus for details.

Fixed income Podcast: Consider an interval fund as a place for your municipal bond holdings
Parth Doshi, Vice President, Product Management and Development, Closed-End Funds, recently appeared on a podcast with the Active Investment Company Alliance to discuss the potential advantages of an interval fund structure versus other types of investment vehicles.

Important information on risk

Investing in interval funds involves risk; principal loss is possible. There is no guarantee the Fund’s investment objectives will be achieved. Debt or fixed income securities such as those held by the Fund, are subject to market risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, call risk, tax risk, political and economic risk, and income risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Credit risk refers to an issuers ability to make interest and principal payments when due. The Fund concentrates in non-investment-grade and unrated bonds, as well as special situations municipal securities, with long maturities and durations which carry heightened credit risk, liquidity risk, and potential for default. In addition, the Fund oftentimes utilizes a significant amount of leverage and in doing so, assumes a high level of risk in pursuit of its objectives. Leverage involves the risk that the Fund could lose more than its original investment and also increases the Fund’s exposure to volatility, interest rate risk and credit risk.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. All investments carry a certain degree of risk, including the possible loss of principal, and there is no assurance that an investment will provide positive performance over any period of time. Certain products and services may not be available to all entities or persons. There is no guarantee that investment objectives will be achieved.

An interval fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that continuously offers its common shares. An interval fund provides liquidity through periodic repurchase offers, for example, quarterly (not daily). Due to this, Interval funds are designed for long-term investors  and, unlike an investment in a traditional listed closed-end fund, should be considered illiquid. An interval fund is not intended to be a complete investment program and, due to the uncertainty inherent in all investments, there can be no assurance that the fund will achieve its investment objectives. An interval fund's performance and the value of its investments will vary in response to changes in interest rates, inflation, the financial condition of a security's issuer, ratings on a security, perceptions of the issuer, and other market factors. Common shares at any point in time may be worth less than your original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of fund dividends and distributions. Leverage involves the risk that the Fund could lose more than its original investment and also increases the Fund's exposure to volatility, interest rate risk and credit risk. These and other risk considerations are described in more detail on the Fund's web page at www.nuveen.com.

Class A1 shares have a 2.50% maximum sales charge. Class I and Class A2 shares have no sales charge and may be purchased under limited circumstances or by specified classes of investors.

Typically the value of, and income generated by, muni bonds will decrease or increase based on changes in market interest rates. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall and as interest rates fall, bond prices rise. Income is only one component of performance and investors should consider all of the risk factors for an asset class before investing. 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 this information should not replace a client's consultation with a financial/tax professional regarding their tax situation. Nuveen and its investment specialists do not provide tax advice.
