Nuveen Responds to U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit Decision

Certain Nuveen-sponsored closed-end funds today responded to the ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit against five closed-end funds advised by Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC and Nuveen Asset Management, LLC with the following statement:

“Nuveen and the Board of Trustees of the Funds are extremely disappointed with the Court’s ruling. Nuveen believes that this ruling will harm the interests of long-term shareholders across the broader closed-end fund industry, and will continue to serve the interests of short-term, opportunistic hedge fund activists who represent a minority of closed end fund shareholders. These hedge fund activists routinely pursue short-term gain only to benefit themselves and their own shareholders at the expense of a fund’s ability to deliver long-term investment outcomes for the benefit of all fund shareholders. These actions also make it increasingly difficult for closed-end funds to deliver reliable income to fund shareholders; many of whom rely on this income in retirement.

It is important to note that the Nuveen Fund Board is comprised of a diverse group of highly qualified individuals who properly exercised their fiduciary duties in full compliance with Massachusetts state law, as evidenced by the fact that the lawsuit made no allegations that any trustee of the Funds breached his or her fiduciary duty.

Although this ruling creates challenges for closed-end funds and their boards, Nuveen, as a leader in the closed end fund industry, remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering positive outcomes for its shareholders. Nuveen will continue serving fund investors by offering funds that provide dependable investment solutions through continued adherence to proven, long-term investing principles. In addition, the Nuveen Fund Board will continue to put the interests of all fund shareholders first by pursuing all available and appropriate opportunities consistent with its fiduciary responsibilities to protect and advance those investor interests."
