| Item 4. |
Principal Accountant Fees and Services. |
Nuveen Investment Trust II
The following tables show the amount of fees that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), the independent registered public accounting firm, billed to the Registrant during the Registrant’s last two full fiscal years. The Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that PwC provided to the Registrant, except for those non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the “pre-approval exception”). The pre-approval exception for services provided directly to the Registrant waives the pre-approval requirement for services other than audit, review or attest services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Registrant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Registrant did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee’s attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the audit is completed.
The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its Chair.

SERVICES THAT THE REGISTRANT’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM BILLED TO THE ADVISER AND AFFILIATED REGISTRANT SERVICE PROVIDERS
The following tables show the amount of fees billed by PwC to Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant (“Affiliated Fund Service Provider”), for engagements directly related to the Registrant’s operations and financial reporting, during the Registrant’s last two full fiscal years.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES
The following table shows the amount of fees that PwC billed during the Registrant’s last two full fiscal years for non-audit services. The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve non-audit services that the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm provides to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider, if the engagement related directly to the Registrant’s operations and financial reporting (except for those subject to the pre-approval exception described above). The Audit Committee requested and received information from PwC about any non-audit services rendered during the Registrant’s last fiscal year to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The Committee considered this information in evaluating PwC’s independence.

Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Nuveen Investment Trust and Nuveen Investment Trust II and Shareholders of Nuveen Global
Equity Income Fund, Nuveen International Value Fund, Nuveen Large Cap Value Opportunities Fund, Nuveen Multi Cap Value
Fund, Nuveen Small Cap Value Opportunities Fund and Nuveen Small/Mid Cap Value Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Nuveen Global
Equity Income Fund, Nuveen Large Cap Value Opportunities Fund, Nuveen Multi Cap Value Fund, Nuveen Small Cap Value
Opportunities Fund and Nuveen Small/Mid Cap Value Fund (constituting Nuveen Investment Trust) and Nuveen International Value
Fund (one of the funds constituting Nuveen Investment Trust II), (hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") as of June 30,
2026, the related statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2026, the statements of changes in net assets for each of
the two years in the period ended June 30, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years
in the period ended June 30, 2026 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of June 30, 2026, the results of each of their
operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended June 30,
2026 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended June 30, 2026 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S.
federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due
to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. General Information
Trust and Fund Information:
The Nuveen Investment Trust and Nuveen Investment Trust II (each a “Trust” and collectively, the “Trusts”), are
open-end management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended. Nuveen
Investment Trust is comprised of the Nuveen Global Equity Income Fund (“Global Equity Income”), Nuveen Large Cap Value Opportunities Fund
(“Large Cap Value Opportunities”), Nuveen Multi Cap Value Fund (“Multi Cap Value”), Nuveen Small Cap Value Opportunities Fund (“Small Cap
Value Opportunities”) and Nuveen Small/Mid Cap Value Fund (“Small/Mid Cap Value”) and Nuveen Investment Trust II is comprised of Nuveen
International Value Fund (“International Value”), among others (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Nuveen Investment Trust and Nuveen
Investment Trust II were each organized as Massachusetts business trusts in 1996 and 1997, respectively.
Current Fiscal Period
: The end of the reporting period for the Funds is June 30, 2026, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial
Statements is the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 (the "current fiscal period").
Investment Adviser and Sub-Adviser:
The Funds’ investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC
(“Nuveen”). Nuveen is the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”). The Adviser has overall
responsibility for management of the Funds, oversees the management of the Funds’ portfolios, manages the Funds’ business affairs and provides
certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services, and, if necessary, asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-
advisory agreements with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), a subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages
the investment portfolios of the Funds.
Share Classes and Sales Charges
: Class A Shares are generally sold with an up-front sales charge. Class A Share purchases of $1 million or more
are sold at net asset value (“NAV”) without an up-front sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1% if
redeemed within eighteen months of purchase. Class C Shares are sold without an up-front sales charge. Class C Shares are subject to a CDSC of 1%
if redeemed within twelve months of purchase. Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after purchase. Class R6 Shares
and Class I Shares are sold without an upfront sales charge.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“U.S. GAAP”), which may require the use of estimates made by management and the evaluation of subsequent events. Actual results may differ
from those estimates. The Funds are investment companies and follow the accounting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The NAV for financial reporting purposes may differ
from the NAV for processing security and common share transactions. The NAV for financial reporting purposes includes security and common share
transactions through the date of the report. Total return is computed based on the NAV used for processing security and common share transactions.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds.
Compensation:
Neither Trust pays compensation directly to those of its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to each Trust
from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Funds' Board of Trustees (the "Board") has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent trustees
that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen-advised
funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen-advised funds.
Distributions to Shareholders:
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount, character and timing of
distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation:
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets, including investments,
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the end of each day. Purchases and sales of securities, income and
expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.
Some markets in which the Funds invest impose capital controls, repatriation limits and/or transaction fees, for example, on the amount of foreign
currency that may be converted to U.S. dollars. These restrictions, in some markets where foreign exchange restrictions are imposed, may be
reflected in non-deliverable forward rates (NDF), or prevailing “offshore” rates that apply to non-local investors. Accordingly, the Fund may apply
NDF rates, or another alternative exchange rate believed by the Adviser to be more reflective of the rates at which the Funds may transact, where
applicable, to convert the value of non-U.S. dollar denominated securities to U.S. dollars. The U.S. dollar market value of such securities held in
markets where NDF rates exist may be lower than the U.S. dollar market value of securities using prevailing local or “onshore” foreign currency
exchange rates.
Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates associated with (i) foreign currency, (ii) investments and (iii)
derivatives include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date of the transactions, foreign currency transactions, and
the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Funds and the amounts actually received are recognized
as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency transactions” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.
The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in foreign exchange rates associated with
(i) investments and (ii) other assets and liabilities are recognized as a component of “Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign
currency translations” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange
rates associated with investments in derivatives are recognized as a component of the respective derivative’s related “Change in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation)” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.
Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
Foreign Taxes:
The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or foreign currency repatriation, a portion of which may
be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon the current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that
exist in the markets in which the Funds invest.
Indemnifications:
Under each Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of
the performance of their duties to each Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, each Trust enters into contracts that provide general
indemnifications to other parties. Each Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that
may be made against each Trust that have not yet occurred. However, each Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and
expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Investments and Investment Income:
Securities transactions are accounted for as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains
and losses on securities transactions are based upon the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or,
for certain foreign securities, when information is available. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock, if any, are recognized on the ex-
dividend date and recorded at fair value. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Securities lending income is comprised of fees earned from
borrowers and income earned on cash collateral investments.
Multiclass Operations and Allocations:
Income and expenses that are not directly attributable to a specific class of shares are prorated among the
classes of each Fund based on the relative net assets of each class.
Sub-transfer agent fees and similar fees are not charged to Class R6 Shares. Expenses directly attributable to a share class are recorded to that
class. Class-level expenses include, but are not limited to, transfer agency fees and expenses, state securities registration fees, exchange listing fees
related to such class, and distribution and service fees (collectively, “12b-1 fees”).
Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Funds are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class.
Netting Agreements:
In the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable master repurchase
agreements, International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) master agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”).
Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows each Fund to offset certain securities and derivatives with a specific counterparty, when
applicable, as well as any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, each Fund manages
its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the netting
agreements, collateral posted to the Funds is held in a segregated account by the Funds’ custodian and/or with respect to those amounts which can
be sold or repledged, are presented in the Funds’ Portfolio of Investments or Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Funds’ investments subject to netting agreements as of the end of the current fiscal period, if any, are further described later in these Notes to
Financial Statements.
Segment Reporting:
Each Fund represents a single operating segment. The officers of the Funds act as the chief operating decision maker
(“CODM”), as defined in U.S. GAAP. The CODM monitors the operating results of each Fund as a whole and is responsible for each Fund’s long-
term strategic asset allocation in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the
Fund’s portfolio managers as a team. The financial information in the form of the Fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and
changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions), which are used by the CODM to assess
the segment’s performance versus the Fund’s comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for the Fund’s single segment,
is consistent with that presented within the Fund’s financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as
“total assets” and significant segment revenues and expenses are listed on the Statement of Operations.
New Accounting Pronouncement (ASU No. 2023-09)
: In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09,
Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income tax disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The primary purpose of the amendments within ASU 2023-09
is to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation table and income taxes
paid information. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. During the current fiscal
period, the Funds adopted the new guidance. See Note 7 for more income tax information.
New Accounting Pronouncement (ASU No. 2025-11)
: In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270) Narrow
Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”). The amendments in ASU 2025-11 provide a comprehensive list of interim disclosures that are required
by U.S. GAAP. ASU 2025-11 also includes a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting
period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. Management is currently evaluating the implications of these
changes on the financial statements.
3. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
The Funds’ investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value utilizing valuation methods approved by the Adviser, subject to
oversight of the Board. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly
transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. U.S. GAAP establishes the three-tier hierarchy
which is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value
measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect management’s
assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best
information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit
spreads, etc.).
Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of
investments).
A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major classifications of assets and liabilities measured at fair value follows:
Equity securities and exchange-traded funds listed or traded on a national market or exchange are valued based on their last reported sales price
or official closing price of such market or exchange on the valuation date. Foreign equity securities and registered investment companies that trade
on a foreign exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on the principal exchange where traded, and converted to
U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange on the valuation date. For events affecting the value of foreign securities between the time when
the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time when the Funds' net assets are calculated, such securities will be valued at fair value in
accordance with procedures adopted by the Adviser, subject to the oversight of the Board. To the extent these securities are actively traded and no
valuation adjustments are applied, they are generally classified as Level 1. When valuation adjustments are applied to the most recent last sales price
or official closing price, these securities are generally classified as Level 2.
Prices of certain American Depositary Receipts (“ADR”) held by the Funds that trade in the United States are valued based on the last traded price,
official closing price, or an evaluated price provided by the pricing services and are generally classified as Level 1 or 2.
Structured notes are valued based upon a price supplied by a pricing service and are generally classified as Level 2.
Repurchase agreements are valued at contract amount plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. These securities are generally
classified as Level 2.
Investments in investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs or share price on the valuation date and are generally classified as Level 1.
Purchased and written options traded and listed on a national market or exchange are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices and
are generally classified as Level 1.
Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options are marked-to-market daily based upon a price supplied by a pricing service. OTC options are generally classified
as Level 2.
For any portfolio security or derivative for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the Adviser deems the valuations derived
using the valuation procedures described above not to reflect fair value, the Adviser will determine a fair value in good faith using alternative
procedures approved by the Adviser, subject to the oversight of the Board. As a general principle, the fair value of a security is the amount that
the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such
securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity
and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions
and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. To the extent the inputs are observable and
timely, the values would be classified as Level 2; otherwise they would be classified as Level 3.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Funds’ investments, and the fair value of certain other assets and liabilities, when
applicable, as of the end of the current fiscal period, based on the inputs used to value them:

4. Portfolio Securities
Repurchase Agreements:
In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is each Fund's policy that its custodian take possession of the
underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all
times. If the counterparty defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral may be delayed or limited.
The following table presents the repurchase agreements for the Funds that are subject to netting agreements as of the end of the current fiscal
period, and the collateral delivered related to those repurchase agreements.
Securities Lending:
Each Fund may lend securities representing up to one-third of the value of its total assets to broker-dealers, banks, and other
institutions in order to generate additional income. When loaning securities, the Fund retains the benefits of owning the securities, including the
economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. The loans are continuous, can be recalled at any time, and have no set
maturity. The Funds’ custodian, State Street Bank and Trust Company, serves as the securities lending agent (the “Agent”).

When a Fund loans its portfolio securities, it will receive, at the inception of each loan, cash collateral equal to an amount not less than 100% of the
market value of the loaned securities. The actual percentage of the cash collateral will vary depending upon the asset type of the loaned securities.
Collateral for the loaned securities is invested in a government money market vehicle maintained by the Agent, which is subject to the requirements
of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The value of the loaned securities and the liability to return the cash collateral received are recognized on the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities. If the market value of the loaned securities increases, the borrower must furnish additional collateral to the Fund,
which is also recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The market value of securities loaned is determined at the close of business of
the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. Securities out on loan are subject to termination
at any time at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower is required to return to the Fund securities identical to the
securities loaned. During the term of the loan, the Fund bears the market risk with respect to the investment of collateral and the risk that the Agent
may default on its contractual obligations to the Fund. The Agent bears the risk that the borrower may default on its obligation to return the loaned
securities as the Agent is contractually obligated to indemnify the Fund if at the time of a default by a borrower some or all of the loan securities
have not been returned.
Securities lending income recognized by a Fund consists of earnings on invested collateral and lending fees, net of any rebates to the borrower and
compensation to the Agent. Such income is recognized on the Statement of Operations.
As of the end of the current fiscal period, the total value of the loaned securities and the total value of collateral received were as follows:
Purchases and Sales:
Long-term purchases and sales during the current fiscal period were as follows:
The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may
have extended settlement periods; interest income is not accrued until settlement date. Any securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation
during this period. If a Fund has outstanding when-issued/delayed-delivery purchases commitments as of the end of the current fiscal period, such
amounts are recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
5. Derivative Investments
Each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments. As defined by U.S. GAAP, a derivative is a financial instrument whose value is
derived from an underlying security price, foreign exchange rate, interest rate, index of prices or rates, or other variables. Investments in derivatives
as of the end of and/or during the current fiscal period, if any, are included within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of
Operations, respectively.
Option Transactions:
During the current fiscal period, Global Equity Income, Large Cap Value Opportunities and Multi Cap Value wrote call options
to manage risk and hedge against adverse movement in a security held in each portfolio.
The Funds may purchase (buy) or write (sell) put and call options on specific securities (including groups or "baskets" of specific securities), interest
rates, stock indices and/or bond indices (each a “financial instrument”). Options can be settled either directly with the counterparty (over the
counter) or through a central clearing house (exchange traded). Call and put options give the holder the right, in return for a premium paid, to
purchase or sell, respectively, a financial instrument at a specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option.
When a Fund purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (the premium plus commission) is recognized as an asset on the Statement
of Asset and Liabilities. When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recognized
as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current value of the written option until the option

is exercised or expires or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction. The changes in the value of options purchased and/or written during
the fiscal period are recognized as in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statement of Operations. When an option expires, the premiums
received or paid are recognized as realized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised or a closing purchase
transaction is entered into, the difference between the premium and the amount received or paid in a closing transaction is recognized as a realized
gain or loss on the Statement of Operations.
The market risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium paid. The Fund, as writer of an option, has no control over whether
the underlying instrument may be sold (called) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the
instrument underlying the written option. There is also the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid
market.
The average notional amount of outstanding options written during the current fiscal period, was as follows:
During the current fiscal period, the effect of derivative contracts on the Funds' Statement of Operations was as follows:
Market and Counterparty Credit Risk:
In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial
transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform
(counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets,
which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap
transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their
carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial
resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may
be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal
to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have
instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a
pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by
at least the pre-determined threshold amount.

7. Income Tax Information
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and
net capital gains to shareholders and otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Each Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state and local jurisdictions. A Fund's federal income tax returns are generally
subject to examination for a period of three fiscal years after being filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional
period of time depending on the jurisdiction. Management has analyzed each Fund's tax positions taken for all open tax years and has concluded
that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing gains
and losses on investment transactions. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. As of year end, permanent differences that resulted
in reclassifications among the components of net assets relate primarily to distribution reallocations, foreign currency transactions, investments in
partnerships, investments in passive foreign investment companies, return of capital and long-term capital gain distributions received from portfolio
investments, securities litigation settlements and tax equalization. Temporary and permanent differences have no impact on a Fund's net assets.
As of year end, the aggregate cost and the net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of all investments for federal income tax purposes were as
follows:
For purposes of this disclosure, tax cost generally includes the cost of portfolio investments as well as up-front fees or premiums exchanged on
derivatives and any amounts unrealized for income statement reporting but realized income and/or capital gains for tax reporting, if applicable.
As of year end, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
As of year end, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards, which will not expire:

Global Equity Income’s capital loss carryforward is subject to significant limitations under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. In particular, it is
expected that the Fund will only be able to annually utilize approximately $4 million of its outstanding capital loss carryforward for the next thirteen years, at which
point the annual limitation will further be reduced to approximately $1.2 million.
8. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees:
Each Fund’s management fee compensates the Adviser for the overall investment advisory and administrative services and
general office facilities. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.
Each Fund’s management fee consists of two components – a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within each individual Fund, and
a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables each Fund’s
shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed
by the Adviser.
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated according to the following schedule:
The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated according to the following schedule:
* The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily “eligible assets” of all Nuveen-branded closed-end funds and Nuveen branded open-end funds (“Nuveen Mutual
Funds”). Except as described below, eligible assets include the assets of all Nuveen-branded closed-end funds and Nuveen Mutual Funds organized in the United States. Eligible assets do
not include the net assets of: Nuveen fund-of-funds, Nuveen money market funds, Nuveen index funds, Nuveen Large Cap Responsible Equity Fund or Nuveen Life Large Cap Responsible
Equity Fund. In addition, eligible assets include a fixed percentage of the aggregate net assets of the active equity and fixed income Nuveen Mutual Funds advised by the Adviser’s affiliate,
Teachers Advisors, LLC (except those identified above). The fixed percentage will increase annually until May 1, 2033, at which time eligible assets will include all of the aggregate net assets
of the active equity and fixed income Nuveen Mutual Funds advised by Teachers Advisors, LLC (except those identified above). Eligible assets include closed-end fund assets managed by
the Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes the closed-end funds’ use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments
in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively
financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining eligible assets in
certain circumstances.
As of the end of the reporting period, the fund-level and complex-level fee for each Fund was as follows:

The Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (“Expense Cap”) of the Funds so that the total annual Fund operating expenses
(excluding 12b-1 distribution and/or service fees, interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing
of portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed the average daily net assets of any class of Fund shares in the amounts and for the
time periods stated in the following table. However, because Class R6 Shares are not subject to sub-transfer agent and similar fees, the total annual
fund operating expense for the Class R6 Shares will be less than the expense limitation. The temporary expense limitations may be terminated or
modified prior to expiration date only with the approval of the Board. The expense limitations in effect thereafter may be terminated or modified
only with the approval of shareholders of each Fund.
Distribution and Service Fees:
Each Fund has adopted a distribution and service plan under rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class A Shares incur
a 0.25% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class C Shares incur a 0.75% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a 0.25% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class R6
Shares and Class I Shares are not subject to 12b-1 distribution or service fees. The fees under this plan compensate Nuveen Securities, LLC, (the
“Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen, for services provided and expenses incurred in distributing shares of the Funds and establishing
and maintaining shareholder accounts.
Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The Funds receive voluntary compensation from the Adviser in amounts that approximate the cost of research
services obtained from broker-dealers and research providers if the Adviser had purchased the research services directly. This income received by the
Funds is recognized in "Affiliated income" on the Statement of Operations and any amounts due to the Funds at the end of the current fiscal period
is recognized in "Reimbursement from Adviser" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the current fiscal period, the values of voluntary
compensation were as follows:
The Funds are permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other funds or accounts managed by the Sub-Adviser or by an affiliate of
the Adviser (each an, “Affiliated Entity”) under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board ("cross-trade"). These procedures
have been designed to ensure that any cross-trade of securities by the Fund from or to an Affiliated Entity by virtue of having a common investment
adviser (or affiliated investment adviser), common officer and/or common trustee complies with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. These transactions
are effected at the current market price (as provided by an independent pricing service) without incurring broker commissions. During the current
fiscal period, the Funds engaged in the following security transactions with affiliated entities:

9. Borrowing Arrangements
Line of Credit:
The Funds, along with certain funds managed by the Adviser or by an affiliate of the Adviser (“Participating Funds”), have established
a 364-day, $2.7 billion standby credit facility with a group of lenders, under which the Participating Funds may borrow for temporary purposes (other
than on-going leveraging for investment purposes). Each Participating Fund is allocated a designated proportion of the facility’s capacity (and its
associated costs, as described below) based upon a multi-factor assessment of the likelihood and frequency of its need to draw on the facility, the
size of the Fund and its anticipated draws, and the potential importance of such draws to the operations and well-being of the Fund, relative to
those of the other Funds. A Fund may effect draws on the facility in excess of its designated capacity if and to the extent that other Participating
Funds have undrawn capacity. The credit facility expires in June 2027, unless extended or renewed.
The credit facility has the following terms: 0.15% per annum on unused commitment amounts and a drawn interest rate equal to the higher of (a)
OBFR (Overnight Bank Funding Rate) plus 1.10% (1.20% prior to June 16, 2026) per annum or (b) the Fed Funds Effective Rate plus 1.10% (1.20%
prior to June 16, 2026) per annum on amounts borrowed. Interest expense incurred by the Participating Funds, when applicable, is recognized as
a component of “Interest expense” on the Statement of Operations. Participating Funds paid administration, legal and arrangement fees, which
are recognized as a component of “Interest expense” on the Statement of Operations, and along with commitment fees, have been allocated
among such Participating Funds based upon the relative proportions of the facility’s aggregate capacity reserved for them and other factors deemed
relevant by the Adviser and the Board of each Participating Fund.
During the current fiscal period, the Funds did not utilize this facility.

I. The Approval Process
At an in-person meeting held on April 28 and 29, 2026 (the “Meeting”), the Boards of Trustees (collectively, the “Board,” and each Trustee, a “Board Member”) of Nuveen Investment Trust and Nuveen Investment Trust II approved, for each of their respective applicable series thereof, the renewal of the investment management agreement (each, an “Investment Management Agreement”) with Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (“NFAL” or the “Adviser”). Similarly, for each applicable series, the Board approved the renewal of the sub-advisory agreement (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“NAM” or the “Sub-Adviser”). At the time of the Meeting, prior to an internal restructuring pursuant to which Teachers Advisors, LLC (“TAL”) was merged into NAM (the “Restructuring”), the Nuveen fund complex consisted of the group of funds advised by NFAL (the “NFAL Funds”), including the Funds, and the group of funds advised by TAL (the “TC Funds”; the NFAL Funds and the TC Funds are collectively referred to as the “Nuveen funds” or the “funds”). TAL and NFAL were affiliates as NFAL is a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC, the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”), and TAL was an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of TIAA. The Sub-Adviser is also an affiliate of NFAL.
The Board Members are not “interested persons” (as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”)) and, therefore, the Board is comprised of all disinterested Board Members. References to the Board and the Board Members are interchangeable. Below is a summary of the annual review process the Board undertook related to its most recent renewal of the Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund covered by this report.
In accordance with applicable law, following up to an initial two-year period, the Board considers the approval of the continuance of each Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement on behalf of the applicable Fund on an annual basis. The Investment Management Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements,” and the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are collectively, the “Fund Advisers” and each, a “Fund Adviser.”
In considering the continuance of each Advisory Agreement, the Board considered information received by it throughout the year as well as materials prepared specifically at the Board’s request for the Board’s evaluation of the Advisory Agreements at the Meeting. The Board Members considered the review of the Advisory Agreements to be an ongoing process. The Board and its committees meet regularly throughout the year, including in executive sessions, providing the Board Members with the opportunity to assess the quality and scope of the various services provided by a Fund Adviser during the year through the written materials, oral presentations and discussions with senior management. The information provided to the Board and/or its committees at these meetings covered a wide range of topics pertinent to the annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, including, but not limited to: (a) the investment performance of the Nuveen funds over various periods and the reasons for any outperformance or underperformance relative to peers and/or benchmarks or other performance metrics (as applicable); (b) strategic priorities for the business of the Adviser, including significant developments impacting a Fund Adviser; (c) product initiatives for various funds; (d) compliance, regulatory and risk management reports, including any initiatives in seeking to strengthen compliance capabilities and controls and to meet regulatory requirements, compliance policies and procedures; (e) other payments to intermediaries, including Rule 12b-1 fees (as applicable); (f) reports on the valuation of securities; (g) periodic investment team presentations; (h) evaluations on fund expenses; (i) trading practices and execution quality of portfolio transactions; and (j) management of distributions.
In addition to the materials and discussions that occurred at prior meetings, the Board, through its independent legal counsel, requested and received extensive materials and information prepared specifically for its review of the Advisory Agreements. The materials provided in conjunction with the Meeting included, among other things, (a) a description of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Fund Advisers; (b) a review of the Sub-Adviser and/or investment team (as applicable); (c) fund performance over various periods with a focus on funds considered to have met certain challenged performance measurements; (d) the fees and expense ratios of the funds with a focus on funds considered to have certain expense characteristics; (e) a list of management fees and sub-advisory fee schedules; (f) an analysis of advisory fees compared to fees assessed to other types of clients; (g) a review of temporary and/or permanent expense caps and fee waivers (as applicable); (h) a description of portfolio manager compensation; (i) certain profitability and/or financial data; (j) a summary of the investments made in 2025 by the Adviser and/ or its affiliates in technology enhancements; and (k) a description of indirect benefits received by the Fund Advisers as a result of their relationships with the funds. The Board also considered information provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data, comparing fee and expense levels of each Fund to those of a peer universe and also to a peer group of funds, as well as a description of Broadridge’s methodology in compiling the expense universe and expense group, as applicable.
The information prepared specifically for the annual review supplemented the information provided to the Board and its committees and the evaluations of the Nuveen funds by the Board and its committees during the year. The performance, fee and expense data and other information provided by a Fund Adviser, Broadridge or other service providers were not independently verified by the Board Members. The Board Members employed the accumulated information, knowledge and experience they had gained during their tenure as disinterested Board Members on the Board and its committees in overseeing the applicable Nuveen funds and working with the respective Fund Advisers in their review of the Advisory Agreements.

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract. (continued)
As part of their review, the Board Members and independent legal counsel met in executive session on April 17, 2026 (the “April Executive Session”) to review and discuss materials provided in connection with their annual review of the Advisory Agreements. After reviewing this information, the Board Members requested, directly or through independent legal counsel, additional information and received the responses to these follow-up questions and requests. In addition to the April Executive Session, the Board Members met in additional executive sessions prior to and during the Meeting. During the Meeting, the Board Members considered the materials, invited representatives of management to provide additional information and determined that the information provided (whether oral or written) was responsive to their requests.
The Board Members had the benefit of independent legal counsel during the annual review process as well as throughout the year and met with independent legal counsel at various executive sessions without the presence of any Fund Adviser management. In connection with their annual review, the Board Members also received a memorandum from independent legal counsel outlining their fiduciary duties and legal standards in reviewing the Advisory Agreements, including guidance from court cases evaluating advisory fees.
After the discussions and with the background and knowledge described above, the Board Members approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements on behalf of the Funds for an additional one-year period until May 1, 2027. The Board did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, but rather each decision reflected the comprehensive consideration of all the information (written or oral) provided to the Board and its committees throughout the year as well as the materials prepared specifically in connection with the annual review process. The contractual arrangements may reflect the results of prior year(s) of review, negotiation and information provided in connection with the Board’s annual review of the Funds’ advisory arrangements and oversight of the Funds. Each Board Member may have attributed different levels of importance to the various factors and information considered in connection with the annual review process and may have placed different emphasis on the relevant information year to year in light of, among other things, changing market and economic conditions. A summary of the principal factors and information, but not all the factors, the Board considered in deciding to renew the Advisory Agreements is set forth below.
In addition, as noted above, after an initial period of up to two years, the 1940 Act requires the Board to review advisory agreements on an annual basis. In connection with the annual review, management and the Board proposed to reset the annual review schedule for the Advisory Agreements to permit the agreements to continue for a one-year period until August 1st following the renewal as opposed to the current May 1st deadline. To implement the new review schedule, at its in-person meeting held on May 27-28, 2026 (the “May Meeting”), the Board approved the continuance of the Advisory Agreements through July 31, 2027. A discussion of the Board’s approval at the May Meeting of the continuance of the Advisory Agreements is set forth in Section II below.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In evaluating the renewal of the Advisory Agreements at the Meeting, the Board Members received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the applicable Fund Adviser’s services provided to each respective Fund. With this approach, they considered the roles of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser in providing services to the Funds.
The Board considered that the Adviser provides a wide array of management, oversight and other services necessary to manage and operate the Funds. The Board considered the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ dedication of resources, time, people and capital as well as consistent program of improvement and innovation aimed at keeping the Nuveen fund complex relevant and attractive for existing and new investors and meeting the needs of an increasingly complex regulatory environment. In its review of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates, the Board considered a description of the staffing levels of the investment and non-investment personnel; the experience and qualifications of key personnel; succession planning and staffing in seeking to help ensure the continuation of services and avoid business disruptions as a result of retirements or departures; business continuity functions which seek to develop and monitor corporate-wide standards and procedures in seeking to help ensure the firm may continue to operate in the event of business disruptions; ongoing investments in the infrastructure and technology in enhancing the services provided to the applicable Nuveen funds; certain financial data of the Adviser and/or TIAA in assessing the financial stability and condition of the Adviser to continue to provide a high level of quality services to the applicable Nuveen funds; and portfolio manager compensation structure in seeking to attract and retain high quality talent.
In its evaluation, the Board considered that the Adviser is responsible for providing investment advisory services and does so indirectly through a sub-adviser. In this regard, the Funds utilize the Sub-Adviser and its investment teams to manage the portfolios of the Funds subject to the supervision of the Adviser. In evaluating the investment advisory services, the Board and/or its investment committee considered the Adviser’s role, among other things, in monitoring and reporting to the Board on fund performance, market conditions and investment team matters; setting and evaluating investment strategies, including changes to mandates, policies and benchmarks; monitoring and overseeing the performance and investment capabilities of the Sub-Adviser and/or investment teams and recommending changes thereto as appropriate; monitoring compliance with portfolio guidelines; monitoring and analyzing the trade execution of the funds’ portfolios; and managing valuation matters.
The Board considered the division of responsibilities between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and considered that the Sub-Adviser and its investment personnel, as noted, generally are responsible for the management of the respective Fund’s portfolio under the oversight of the Adviser and the Board. The Board considered an analysis of the Sub-Adviser which included, among other things, a summary of changes (if any) in the leadership teams and/or portfolio manager teams; the performance of the Nuveen funds sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser over various periods of time that met certain performance screening measurements; and data reflecting product changes (if any) taken with respect to certain funds. The Board considered that the Adviser recommended the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
2
In addition to the portfolio management services provided to the Funds, the Board considered the comprehensive package of non-management services the Adviser and its various teams and affiliates provide to manage and operate the applicable Nuveen funds, including compliance, regulatory, administrative and other services which have expanded over the years as a result of market, regulatory and other developments. Such services include, but are not limited to: distribution management services pursuant to which management seeks to implement distribution policies and set distribution levels consistent with each fund’s product design and positioning; compliance services including establishing and maintaining broad-based compliance policies across the Nuveen fund complex, evaluating the compliance programs of various fund services providers, conducting ongoing risk assessments and testing, monitoring portfolio compliance with investment and regulatory requirements and providing a comprehensive compliance training program; regulatory and regulatory advocacy services, including monitoring regulatory developments that may impact the fund(s), responding to regulatory inquiries and examinations and fulfilling regulatory filing requirements; Board and committee support services, including organizing meetings and coordinating site visits and presentations with affiliated and/or external investment teams and providing reports on a wide range of topics relating to the operations and management of the funds, including strategic initiatives and priorities, fund performance, trade execution, securities lending (as applicable), compliance matters, valuation matters, liquidity and derivatives risk management; oversight services, including establishing and coordinating the services provided by other fund service providers (such as a fund’s custodian, accountant, and transfer agent); and legal support services.
Aside from the services provided, the Board considered the financial resources of the Adviser and/or its affiliates and their willingness to make investments to support the funds. The Board considered the funds’ access to a seed capital budget provided by the Adviser and/or its affiliates to support new or existing funds and/or facilitate changes for a respective fund. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large fund complex with a variety of investment disciplines, capabilities, and expertise. The Board considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates and the Adviser’s continuing commitment to provide high quality services.
In its review, the Board also considered the significant risks borne by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with their services to the Nuveen funds, including entrepreneurial risks in sponsoring and supporting new funds and smaller funds and ongoing risks with managing the funds, such as investment, operational, reputational, regulatory, compliance and litigation risks.
Based on its review, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the respective Funds under each applicable Advisory Agreement.
B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and Fund Advisers
The Board, directly or through its Investment Committee, which is comprised of all Board Members, provides oversight of the investment performance process. In evaluating the quality of the services provided by the Fund Advisers, the Board and/or its Investment Committee monitors Fund performance on an ongoing basis, which includes quarterly performance reporting at each of its quarterly meetings with an annual performance review at its February 10-12, 2026 meeting (the “February Meeting”). At the February Meeting, the Board and/or its Investment Committee considered, among other things, Fund performance over the quarter, one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2025 on an absolute basis and as compared to the performance of comparable funds (the “Performance Peer Group”) and to a benchmark for the prescribed periods. For Funds with multiple share classes, the performance data was based on Class I shares; however, the performance of other share classes was expected to be substantially similar as they invest in the same portfolio of securities, and differences in performance among the classes of a fund generally may be principally attributed to the variations in the expense structures of the share classes. Prior to the Meeting, the Board also received updated Fund performance over various periods ended March 31, 2026. In its review of relative performance, the Board considered a Fund’s performance relative to its Performance Peer Group, among other things, by evaluating its quartile ranking with the 1st quartile being the most desirable quartile ranking and the 4th quartile being the least desirable. The Board considered, in particular, the performance of funds that met certain screening measurements as determined pursuant to a methodology approved by the Board or additional measurements as determined by management’s investment analysts.
In evaluating performance, the Board considered some of the limitations of the performance data including, in particular, that differences between a Nuveen fund and its Performance Peer Group and its benchmark (such as with respect to the investment objectives and strategies) may lead to significantly different results. To assist the Board in its review of the comparability of the relative performance, management generally has ranked the relevancy of a Performance Peer Group to the respective fund as low, medium or high. In addition, the Board considered, among other things, that performance data reflects performance over a specified period which may differ significantly depending on the ending dates selected, particularly during periods of market volatility. The Board also considered that shareholders may evaluate performance based on their own respective holding periods which may differ from the performance of the periods reviewed by the Board.
The Board evaluated performance in light of various relevant factors which may include, among other things, general market conditions, issuer-specific information, asset class information, leverage and fund cash flows. From year to year, the Board may place different emphasis on particular performance information given changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Board considered that long-term performance could be impacted by even one period of significant outperformance or underperformance and that a single investment theme could disproportionately affect performance. Further, the Board considered that market and economic conditions may significantly impact a fund’s performance, particularly over shorter periods, and such performance may be more reflective of such economic or market events and not necessarily reflective of management skill. Although the Board reviews short-, intermediate- and longer-term performance data, the Board considered that longer periods of performance may reflect full market cycles.
In evaluating performance, the Board focused particular attention on funds with less favorable performance records over various time periods in its discussions with management. Depending on the facts and circumstances, including any differences between the respective fund and its benchmark and/or Performance Peer Group, the Board may be satisfied with a fund’s performance notwithstanding that its performance may be below that of its benchmark and/or peer group for certain periods. With respect to any funds for which the Board has identified as experiencing performance issues, the Board seeks to discuss with the Adviser the reasons for the underperformance and any recommendations to improve performance and to monitor such funds more closely until performance improves.

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract. (continued)
Additional Fund-specific performance factors for periods ending December 31, 2025 that the Board considered in addition to those described above are set forth below in Section I.F.
With respect to each Fund, on the basis of the Board’s ongoing review of investment performance and all relevant factors, including the relative market conditions during certain reporting periods, the Fund’s investment objective(s) and management’s discussion of performance, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance supported renewal of the Advisory Agreements.
C. Fees, Expenses and Profitability
As part of the annual review, the Board Members considered, among other things, the management fee schedules and the expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers agreed to by the Adviser for the respective Fund (if any). In addition to the management fee arrangements, the Board Members considered a Fund’s operating expense ratio as it more directly reflected a shareholder’s total costs in investing in the respective Fund.
In its review, the Board considered that the management fees of the Funds were generally comprised of two components, a fund-level component and a complex-level component, each with its own breakpoint schedule. The Board considered that in 2024, the Board approved a revised complex-wide breakpoint schedule which simplified and reduced the complex-level fee rates at various thresholds and expanded the eligible funds whose assets would be included in calculating the complex-level fee, effective May 1, 2024. The Board considered that the complex-level component is intended to be an efficient mechanism designed to help share cost efficiencies with shareholders as the complex-wide assets grow.
The Board also considered comparative fee and expense information prepared by Broadridge, an independent third-party provider of fund data. More specifically, the Board Members generally considered, among other things, each Fund’s management fee rates and net total expense ratio in relation to similar data for a comparable universe of peers (the “Expense Universe”) and a more focused group of comparable peers (the “Expense Group”). With respect to the Broadridge comparative expense data, Broadridge applied Class I shares of the Funds. In its review of such comparative fee and expense data, the Board considered, among other things, a Fund’s quartile rankings of its contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio within its Expense Universe and Expense Group (as applicable) with the first quartile representing the most desirable quartile ranking and the fourth quartile representing the least desirable ranking. The Board considered, in particular, each fund with a net total expense ratio that met certain expense screening criteria adopted by the Board when compared to its Expense Universe and Expense Group (if any) and management’s commentary as to the factors contributing to each such fund’s relative net total expense ratio.
In evaluating the fees and expenses of the Nuveen funds and comparative rankings, the Board considered some of the limitations which may reduce some of the value of the comparative data. In particular, although the Board considered the methodology employed by Broadridge to establish its Expense Universe and Expense Group (as applicable), the Board also considered that Broadridge had modified its methodology for open-end funds in 2025 resulting in significant changes to the composition of the Expense Universe and Expense Group (as applicable) and the comparative rankings of the funds from previous periods making comparisons of rankings from prior periods more difficult. In addition, the Board considered that the fee and expense information in the Broadridge report for each fund reflected information for a specific period and that historic asset levels and expenses may differ from current levels, particularly in a period of market volatility.
The Board Members also considered that it can be difficult to compare management fees among funds with peers as there are variations in the services that are included for the fees paid. The Board Members took these differences into account in considering the comparative peer data.
The Board further considered, in relevant part, a fund’s management fee in light of its performance history with particular focus on any fund identified as having a higher management fee and/or expense ratio compared to peers coupled with experiencing a period of challenged performance.
With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board also considered, among other things, the sub-advisory fee schedule paid to the Sub-Adviser in light of the sub-advisory services provided to the respective Fund. In its review, the Board considered that the compensation paid to the Sub-Adviser is the responsibility of the Adviser, not the Funds.
Additional Fund-specific comparative fee and expense data that the Board considered in addition to that described above is set forth in Section I.F below. Based on its review of the information provided, the Board determined that each Fund’s management fees (as applicable) to a Fund Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund.

Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients |
In evaluating the appropriateness of fees, the Board also requested and received information concerning the advisory fees and services provided to other clients of the Adviser, affiliated sub-advisers and/or advisory affiliates which may include, among others: separately managed accounts (“SMAs”), foreign funds (UCITS), other investment companies (as sub-advisers), limited partnerships and collective investment trusts (as applicable). The Board considered certain fee data for these other types of clients managed in a similar manner to certain of the open-end funds compared to the management fee of the applicable fund. The Board considered, among other things, that differences in the breadth of services provided to the funds compared to other types of clients (including the differences in the level of advisory services required of passively managed funds compared to actively managed funds); the expenses the Adviser and its affiliates incur in launching, operating and supporting a fund; the differences in regulatory, disclosure and governance requirements applicable to funds and the infrastructure and activities necessary to support such requirements; the establishment and maintenance of servicing relationships with various service providers for the funds; the differences in investment policies and strategies, investor profiles and account sizes; and other factors all may contribute to the variations in relative fee rates. Further, the Board considered the differences in risks the Adviser incurs, including entrepreneurial, legal and regulatory risks when sponsoring and managing funds compared to serving as adviser to other types of clients or sub-adviser to other funds.
With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board further considered that the Sub-Adviser’s fee is essentially for portfolio management services and therefore more comparable to the fees received for retail wrap accounts and other external sub-advisory mandates.
The Board concluded that the varying levels of fees were reasonable given the foregoing.

3. |
Profitability of Fund Advisers |
In considering the costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Adviser (which encompassed the affiliated sub-advisers) from its relationship with the Funds, the Board Members considered a variety of estimated profitability data from various perspectives including, among other things, (a) historical pre-distribution and post-distribution margins over specified periods for the Adviser’s services to the applicable funds; (b) certain profitability data on behalf of the Adviser (as well as the Adviser and TAL on a combined basis) attributable to servicing all applicable funds for 2025 and 2024; (c) certain profitability data of both the Adviser and TAL on a combined basis derived from the type of fund in the aggregate (i.e., from the closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, interval funds and open-end funds) for 2025 and 2024; and (d) certain profitability data of both the Adviser and TAL on a combined basis provided by asset grouping of Nuveen funds in the aggregate (i.e., from equity, fund of funds, index, municipal bond and taxable fixed income funds). In addition, the Board considered estimated profitability data at the per fund level for the Adviser.
In reviewing the profitability data, the Board Members recognized the subjective nature and difficulty in calculating profitability, particularly on a per fund level. The Board considered that the information is not audited and is based on cost allocation methodologies seeking to allocate various expenses throughout the complex and among the various advisory products. The Board Members considered the allocation methodology used to prepare the profitability data but considered that other valid and reasonable methodologies also could be used and could lead to significantly different profit and loss results.
Further, the Board considered Nuveen’s estimated profitability (pre- and post-distribution margins and pre-tax) from its services to the funds compared to the profitability margins of certain peers. The Board Members, however, considered the inherent limitations of the comparative data given that profitability data is only available from peers which publish publicly available information and may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, the types of funds a peer manages, its business mix, cost of capital, the assumptions and allocation methodology used in developing its profitability data, and fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the peer(s).
Aside from the foregoing profitability data, the Board also considered the financial condition of TIAA. The Board Members considered certain financial data of TIAA as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Board considered the benefit of an investment adviser and its parent with significant resources, particularly during periods of market volatility.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Board Members also considered the indirect benefits the Adviser or Sub-Adviser received that were directly attributable to the management of the applicable funds as discussed in further detail below. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied that the Adviser’s (together with its affiliated sub-advisers) level of profitability from its relationship with the applicable Fund was not unreasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided.
D. Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale
The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Nuveen funds, whether these economies of scale have been appropriately shared with the funds and whether there is potential for realization of further economies of scale as a fund and/or the complex grows larger. The Board considered the difficulty in measuring economies of scale with any precision but considered the various means the Fund Advisers employ to help share the benefits of economies of scale with the respective funds and their shareholders.
The Board considered the Funds’ advisory fee structure, including breakpoint schedules (as applicable). The Board considered that the management fees of the funds generally are comprised of a fund-level component and a complex-level component, each with its own breakpoint schedule, subject to certain exceptions. The Board considered that in 2024, the Board revised the breakpoint schedule which reduced the complex-level fee rates at various thresholds and expanded the assets included in calculating the complex-level fee rates. The Board considered that the complex-level breakpoint schedule was designed to share the benefits of economies of scale with the participating funds as a result of an increase in the asset size of the complex even if the particular fund has not grown or has even declined in asset size, whereas a fund-level breakpoint schedule seeks to share economies of scale with shareholders if the particular fund grows. The Board considered the fee reductions achieved overall from the fund-
5
Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract. (continued)
level breakpoints and the complex-level breakpoints for the 2025 calendar year. In addition to the management fee structures, the Board Members also considered the temporary and/or permanent expense caps applicable to a fund (if any) which can provide a protection from an increase in expenses if the assets of the applicable funds decline. In addition, the Board considered the Adviser’s and/or affiliates’ ongoing investments in their business, including investments in various technology initiatives from which the fund complex may benefit as well as ongoing efforts to streamline the product line-up, among other things, to create more scaled funds which may help improve both expense and trading economies for participating funds.
The Board further considered that the scope of services of the Adviser and its affiliates have expanded over time without raising advisory fees to the funds, and this was also a means of sharing economies of scale with the funds and their shareholders.
Based on its review, the Board was satisfied that the current fee arrangements together with the reinvestment in management’s business appropriately shared any economies of scale with shareholders.
E. Indirect Benefits
The Board Members received and considered information regarding various indirect benefits the respective Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationship with the Nuveen funds. These benefits include, among other things, fees paid to affiliates of the Adviser for services as noted below, the sharing of personnel and investment-related infrastructure with other clients of the Adviser, the use of affiliated sub-advisers in which case all the advisory revenue generated from such funds remains within Nuveen, and the use of certain funds as investment options for other products offered by the Adviser and/or its affiliates (such as life insurance separate account products, fund of funds or 529 education savings plans).
Further, the funds may pay the Adviser and/or its affiliates for other services, such as distribution. In this regard, the Board Members considered that an affiliate of the Adviser serves as principal underwriter providing distribution and/or shareholder services to the open-end funds for which it may be compensated. To the extent an open-end fund pays 12b-1 fees, the Board Members considered that some of those fees may be retained by the Adviser’s affiliate. In addition, the Board considered that an affiliate of the Adviser received compensation in 2025 for serving as an underwriter on shelf offerings of existing closed-end Nuveen funds and reviewed the amounts paid for such services in 2025 and 2024.
In addition, the Board Members considered that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser may utilize soft dollar brokerage arrangements attributable to the respective funds to obtain research and other services for any or all of their clients but such costs are reimbursed to the funds.
The Adviser and its affiliates may also benefit from the advisory relationships with the funds in the fund complex to the extent this relationship results in potential investors viewing the TIAA group of companies as a leading retirement plan provider in the academic and non-profit market and a single source for all their financial service needs. The Adviser and/or its affiliates may further benefit to the extent that they have pricing or other information regarding vendors the funds utilize in establishing arrangements with such vendors for other products.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that any indirect benefits received by a Fund Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided.
F. Additional Fund-Specific Factors
For each Fund, set forth below are (i) additional Fund-specific performance factors for periods ending December 31, 2025 that the Board considered in addition to those described above; and (ii) additional Fund-specific comparative fee and expense data that the Board considered in addition to that described above.

G. Other Considerations
The Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement were reasonable, that the respective Fund Adviser’s fees were reasonable in light of the services provided to each Fund and that the Advisory Agreements be renewed for an additional one-year period.
II. Subsequent Approvals of Advisory Agreements
As noted above, the 1940 Act provides, in general terms, that an advisory and sub-advisory agreement may continue in effect for a period of more than two years only so long as the board, including a majority of the disinterested trustees, approves its continuance. During the annual review, management and the Board proposed, in relevant part, to reset the annual review schedule for the advisory and sub-advisory agreements of the Nuveen funds to permit the agreements to continue for a one-year period until August 1st the following year as opposed to the existing May 1st annual deadline.
8
At its May Meeting, with respect to the Funds, the Board approved the Investment Management Agreements with certain minor changes and the Sub-Advisory Agreements to continue through July 31, 2027. As part of its review of the foregoing arrangements, the Board, through independent legal counsel, requested and received information regarding, among other things, the proposed renewal of the Advisory Agreements.
In their review, the Board Members considered that they had recently completed their annual review of the Advisory Agreements at the Meeting and many of the factors considered at the annual review were applicable to their evaluation of the continuance of the Advisory Agreements. Accordingly, in evaluating the respective advisory and sub-advisory agreements, the Board Members relied upon their knowledge and experience with the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and considered the information received and their evaluations and conclusions drawn at the annual review. The Board considered management’s representation that the information and materials provided in connection with the annual review of the Advisory Agreements at the Meeting remained unchanged in all material respects. Further, with respect to the continuance of the Advisory Agreements, the Board considered the terms of such agreements with certain minor changes as appropriate to reflect the Restructuring.
The Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement were reasonable, that the fees of each of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser were reasonable in light of the services provided to each Fund and that each Advisory Agreement be renewed for an additional one-year period through July 31, 2027.
