Overview
Strategy that seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation while giving investors exposure to clean infrastructure companies that are seeking to improve environmental challenges and improving operational characteristics to achieve intentional, positive and measurable real world outcomes.
Strategy highlights
- Supports clean infrastructure: Secular trends around a rapidly decarbonizing economy create a compelling investment opportunity, harnessing strong momentum from global policy makers to create a more sustainable world
- Resilient attributes: Diversified portfolio grounded in deep fundamental analysis, focused on identifying attractively valued companies with stable cash flows and defensive characteristics positioned to withstand global economic cycles
- Making an impact: Experienced investment team leverages Nuveen’s deep responsible investing leadership, identifying and engaging with companies that seek to generate positive outcomes alongside a competitive financial total return
Infrastructure spans a wide variety of assets located throughout the world. Strong infrastructure is necessary to our daily lives and keeps societies functioning by facilitating the movement of goods, people, water, information and energy. Modernizing our infrastructure and ensuring increasing resiliency and flexibility is essential to developing and maintaining healthy communities and accelerating future economic growth.

Important information on 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.
As an asset class, real assets and infrastructure are less developed, more illiquid, and less transparent compared to traditional asset classes. Both are subject to various risks generally associated with the ownership of real estate-related assets and foreign investing, including but not limited to, fluctuations in property values, higher expenses or lower income than expected, changes in economic conditions, currency values, environmental problems and liability, the cost of and ability to obtain insurance, and risks related to leasing of properties.
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.
Nuveen considers ESG integration to be the consideration of financially material ESG factors within the investment decision making process. Financial materiality and applicability of ESG factors varies by asset class and investment strategy. ESG factors may be among many factors considered in evaluating an investment decision, and unless otherwise stated in the relevant offering memorandum or prospectus, do not alter the investment guidelines, strategy or objectives. Select investment strategies do not integrate such ESG factors in the investment decision making process.
