The tax treatment of each Fund’s investments in its TEFRA Bond Subsidiary could affect whether income derived from such investments is qualifying income, or otherwise affect the character, timing and/or amount of the Fund’s taxable income or any gains and distributions made by the Fund.
Risks of Investments in the Short Duration and Impact Bond Fund’s Wholly Owned Subsidiaries [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Risks of Investments in the Core and Impact Bond Fund’s, Green Bond Fund’s and Short Duration and Impact Bond Fund’s Wholly Owned Subsidiaries—The Funds, through their investment in the Core and Impact Bond Fund’s Regulation S Subsidiary, the Green Bond Fund’s Subsidiary, the Short Duration and Impact Bond Fund’s Regulation S Subsidiary, (together with the Core and Impact Bond Fund’s Regulation S Subsidiary and the Green Bond Fund’s Subsidiary, the “Regulation S Subsidiaries”) and the Core and Impact Bond Fund’s TEFRA Bond Subsidiary and the Short Duration and Impact Bond Fund’s TEFRA Bond Subsidiary (together with the Regulation S Subsidiaries, the “Subsidiaries”), are indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiaries’ investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of the Funds or the Subsidiaries

will be achieved. Further, the Subsidiaries are not registered under the 1940 Act and, therefore, are not subject to the investor protections (except as otherwise noted in the Prospectus) of the 1940 Act. As an investor in a Subsidiary, a Fund does not have all of the protections offered to investors by the 1940 Act. However, each Subsidiary is wholly owned and controlled by the applicable Fund and managed by Nuveen Asset Management. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the Funds to invest in the Subsidiaries as described in this Prospectus and in the Funds’ SAI and could adversely affect the Funds.
