Key distinctions
  • Strategic allocation to global equities and fixed income that diversifies across countries, regions, market caps and investment styles to seek outperformance and manage risk
  • Responsible investments that have delivered both competitive returns and positive social and environmental outcomes from an experienced industry leader
  • Actively managed portfolio allocations to ETFs within targeted risk profiles to help achieve investor objectives and manage risk in dynamic markets

Seeking growth with positive impact

These model growth portfolios offer a broad range of diversified allocations with potential for attractive long-term total return and exposure to responsible investments.

Highlights
  • We are reducing our tactical overweight to U.S. large cap value and underweight to U.S. large cap growth. Last June, the trade was implemented due to valuations favoring value over growth, multi-decade high inflation and the odds that the Federal Reserve engineering a soft landing were slim. This trade has worked in our favor as value (Russell 1000 Value TR Index) has outperformed growth (Russell 1000 Growth TR Index) by 6% since the trade was initiated (as of 1/25/23). This outperformance has driven relative valuations towards a more normalized range between the two investment styles.
  • We are keeping our tactical overweight of U.S. high yield and underweight to U.S. large cap growth. We remain cautious on equities due to the risk of continued negative earnings revisions and the general health of the U.S. economy. Although recession risks appear elevated, we believe that high yield is well positioned due to strong fundamentals, and we do not expect a significant pick up in default rates.

Performance

Average annual total returns

Net performance data shown represents past performance and does not predict or guarantee future results. Performance shown is based on a representative account, and is not materially higher than the performance of all accounts managed in a substantially similar manner. Nuveen model portfolios are intended to illustrate how combinations of Nuveen affiliated products could be used to achieve the stated investment objectives. The value of the portfolio will fluctuate based on the value of the underlying securities. Daily returns are calculated net of underlying Fund expenses. Total returns for a period of less than one year are cumulative. Results are inherently limited and do not represent actual results and may not account for the impact of the general market.

Calendar year returns

Current expense ratios

Expense ratios are represented by the weighted average expense ratio of the blended model portfolio and are based on the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end. Please see the underlying fund prospectuses for details.

Characteristics

  • MSCI ESG Quality and Carbon Intensity Scores
  • Asset allocation

MSCI ESG Quality and Carbon Intensity Scores

Higher ESG Score indicates stronger ESG practices and ability to manage material ESG issues relative to industry peers.

Lower Carbon Intensity Score indicates a more favorable (lower) level of CO2 emissions per $MM sales.

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.

Important information on risk

Model portfolios

Nuveen model portfolios (“models”) are intended to illustrate how combinations of Nuveen affiliated products could be used to achieve the stated investment objectives. Results are inherently limited and do not represent actual results and may not account for the impact of the general market. Models are not automatically rebalanced; allocations may not achieve model objectives and are not guaranteed. Both the actual underlying Funds and model allocations may vary. Allocations are reviewed periodically and may change based on Nuveen's strategic and tactical views. There are no management or other fees at the model level; however fees apply for the underlying Funds as outlined in each Fund’s prospectus. The models’ risks are directly related to those of the underlying Funds, as described below. Allocations may not match a client’s actual experience from an account managed in accordance with the model portfolio allocation.

Important information on risk

Investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Risks apply to those underlying Funds in the allocation of the models and there is no guarantee the Funds’ investment objectives will be achieved. ETFs seek to generally track the investment results of an index; however the ETF may underperform, outperform or be more volatile than the referenced index. In addition, because the Index selects securities for inclusion based on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria, the Fund may forgo some market opportunities available to funds that don’t use these criteria. Other risks considerations include credit, interest rate, equity securities, growth stocks, large-capitalization stocks, value stocks, smaller companies, non-U.S. investments, emerging markets, and concentration in a single industry sector or country. Not all risks apply to all Funds. These and other risks are described in the prospectus of each Fund. Asset allocation (or diversification) does not assure a profit or protect against loss.
Responsible investing incorporates Environmental Social Governance (ESG) factors that may affect exposure to issuers, sectors, industries, limiting the type and number of investment opportunities available, which could result in excluding investments that perform well.

Portfolio allocations will be principally to funds managed by affiliates and to affiliated sub-advisers, which may present a conflict of interest.

About the benchmarks

Model portfolio performance is evaluated in relation to a series of benchmarks that consist of appropriate weights of market indexes representing equity and fixed income market sectors. Each benchmark is created by applying the performance of the four indexes in proportion to each model portfolio’s strategic allocations to those market sectors. The benchmarks are reset to their strategic weight allocations at the end of each quarter, given this is the periodicity of the portfolio update process for the model portfolios. The benchmarks do not reflect any fees, brokerage commissions or other expenses but do reflect the reinvestment of dividends. The benchmark is unmanaged and does not reflect the payment of advisory fees and other expenses associated with investing in a mutual fund, commingled fund or separate account.
