Nuveen Global Cities REIT, Inc. is a Maryland corporation, which has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and which operates in a manner that will allow it to continue to qualify as a REIT.

A portion of REIT ordinary income distributions may be tax deferred given the ability to characterize ordinary income as Return of Capital (ROC). ROC distributions reduce the stockholder's tax basis in the year the distribution is received, and generally defers taxes on that portion until the stockholder's stock is sold via redemption. Certain non-cash deductions, such as depreciation and amortization, lower the taxable income for REIT distributions. Investors should be aware that a REIT's ROC percentage may vary significantly in a given year and, as a result, the impact of the tax law and any related advantages may vary. Nuveen Securities, LLC is not a tax advisor. Clients should consult their professional advisors before making any tax or investment decisions. This information should not replace a client's consultation with a professional advisor regarding their tax situation.

Risk factors:
Investing in units in the Fund involves a high degree of risk. See full information pertaining to risks in the Product Disclosure Statement, including the following risks:

  • There is no assurance that the Fund (or the Underlying REIT) will achieve its investment objective.
  • You should not expect to be able to sell your units in the Fund, regardless of how the Fund performs.
  • You should consider that you may not have access to the money you invest for an extended period of time.

See “Disclosure Principle 7: Withdrawal arrangements” and “Risk Factors” in the Product Disclosure Statement (Section 6).

  • The Underlying REIT intends to use leverage, which will magnify the potential for loss on amounts invested in us. See “Risks of the Underlying REIT: Leverage” in the Product Disclosure Statement (Section 6).
  • An investment in units in the Fund will, via the Fund’s investment in the Underlying REIT, also expose an investor to all of the risks of the Underlying REIT.
