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.
