General Information

This Joint Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Trustees (each a “Board” and collectively, the “Boards,” and each Trustee, a “Board Member” and collectively, the “Board Members”) of each of Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund (“Core Equity Alpha”), Nuveen Core Plus Impact Fund (“Core Plus Impact”), Nuveen Credit Strategies Income Fund (“Credit Strategies”), Nuveen Dow 30SM Dynamic Overwrite Fund (“Dow Dynamic Overwrite”), Nuveen Floating Rate Income Fund (“Floating Rate Income”), Nuveen Global High Income Fund (“Global High Income”), Nuveen Minnesota Quality Municipal Income Fund (“Minnesota Municipal”), Nuveen Missouri Quality Municipal Income Fund (“Missouri Municipal”), Nuveen Mortgage and Income Fund (“Mortgage & Income”), Nuveen Multi-Asset Income Fund (“Multi-Asset Income”), Nuveen Multi-Market Income Fund (“Multi-Market Income”), Nuveen Municipal Credit Opportunities Fund (“Municipal Credit Opportunities”), Nuveen NASDAQ 100 Dynamic Overwrite Fund (“NASDAQ Dynamic Overwrite”), Nuveen Preferred & Income Opportunities Fund (“Preferred & Income Opportunities”), Nuveen Real Asset Income and growth Fund (“Real Asset”), Nuveen Real Estate Income Fund (“Real Estate Income”), Nuveen S&P 500 Buy-Write Income Fund (“S&P Buy-Write”), Nuveen S&P 500 Dynamic Overwrite Fund (“S&P Dynamic Overwrite”), Nuveen Variable Rate Preferred & Income Fund (“Variable Rate Preferred & Income”) and Nuveen Virginia Quality Municipal Income Fund (“Virginia Municipal”), each a Massachusetts business trust (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Thursday, April 17, 2025 at 2:00 p.m., Central time (for each Fund, an “Annual Meeting” and collectively, the “Annual Meetings”), and at any and all adjournments or postponements thereof.

The Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only, which will be conducted online via live webcast. You will be able to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting online, vote your shares electronically and submit your questions prior to and during the meeting by visiting: meetnow.global/M7K7VYT at the meeting date and time. If your shares are registered in your name, to participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need to log on using the control number from your proxy card or meeting notice. The control number can be found in the shaded box. There is no physical location for the Annual Meeting.

If you hold your shares through an intermediary, such as a bank or broker, you must register in advance to attend the Annual Meeting virtually on the Internet. To register to attend the Annual Meeting online by webcast you must submit proof of your proxy power (legal proxy) reflecting your Fund holdings along with your name and email address to Computershare. You must contact the bank or broker who holds your shares to obtain your legal proxy. Requests for registration must be labeled as “Legal Proxy” and be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, three (3) business days prior to the meeting date. You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email after we receive your registration materials. Requests for registration should be directed to us by emailing an image of your legal proxy to shareholdermeetings@computershare.com.

On the matters coming before each Annual Meeting as to which a choice has been specified by shareholders on the proxy, the shares will be voted accordingly. If a properly executed proxy is returned and no choice is specified, the shares will be voted FOR the election of the nominees as listed in this Joint Proxy Statement. Shareholders of a Fund who execute proxies may revoke them at any time before they are voted by filing with that Fund a written notice of revocation, by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the virtual

2

Annual Meeting and voting at the Annual Meeting. A prior proxy can also be revoked by voting again through the toll-free number or the Internet address listed in the proxy card. Merely attending the Annual Meeting, however, will not revoke any previously submitted proxy.

The Board of each Fund has determined that the use of this Joint Proxy Statement for each Annual Meeting is in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders in light of the similar matters being considered and voted on by the shareholders.

The following table indicates which shareholders are solicited with respect to each matter:

Matter |  |  |  | Common Shares(1) |  | Preferred Shares(2)
1(a)(i) |  | For Credit Strategies, Floating Rate Income, Minnesota Municipal, Missouri Municipal, Municipal Credit Opportunities, Preferred & Income Opportunities and Virginia Municipal, election of three (3) Class I Board Members by all shareholders. |  | X |  | X
1(a)(ii) |  | For Credit Strategies, Floating Rate Income, Minnesota Municipal, Missouri Municipal, Municipal Credit Opportunities, Preferred & Income Opportunities and Virginia Municipal, election of two (2) Board Members by holders of Preferred Shares only. |  | — |  | X
1(b)(i) |  | For Core Plus Impact and Variable Rate Preferred & Income, election of two (2) Class I Board Members and three (3) Class III Board Members by all shareholders. |  | X |  | X
1(b)(ii) |  | For Core Plus Impact and Variable Rate Preferred & Income, election of two (2) Board Members by holders of Preferred Shares only. |  | — |  | X
1(c) |  | For Multi-Asset Income and Real Asset, election of three (3) Class I Board Members and four (4) Class III Board Members by all shareholders. |  | X |  | —
1(d) |  | For Multi-Market Income, election of four (4) Class I Board Members, four (4) Class II Board Members and four (4) Class III Board Members by all shareholders. |  | X |  | —
1(e) |  | For Core Equity Alpha, Dow Dynamic Overwrite, Global High Income, Mortgage & Income, NASDAQ Dynamic Overwrite, Real Estate Income, S&P Buy Write and S&P Dynamic Overwrite, election of four (4) Class I Board Members. |  | X |  | —

(1) | Common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share, of each Fund are collectively referred to herein as “Common Shares.”

(2) | Adjustable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares (“AMTP Shares”) for Minnesota Municipal; MuniFund Preferred Shares (“MFP Shares”) for Missouri Municipal and Municipal Credit Opportunities; Taxable Fund Preferred Shares (“TFP Shares”) for Core Plus Impact, Credit Strategies, Floating Rate Income, Preferred & Income Opportunities and Variable Rate Preferred & Income; and Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares (“VRDP Shares”) for Virginia Municipal are collectively referred to herein as “Preferred Shares.”

A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Annual Meeting. A majority of the shares entitled to vote at each Annual Meeting, represented in person (through participation by means of remote or “virtual” communication) or by proxy, will constitute a quorum of shareholders at that Annual Meeting, except that for the election of the two Board Member nominees by holders of Preferred Shares (for Core Plus Impact, Credit Strategies, Floating Rate Income, Minnesota Municipal, Missouri Municipal, Municipal Credit Opportunities, Preferred & Income Opportunities, Variable Rate Preferred & Income and Virginia Municipal), 331⁄3% of the Preferred Shares entitled to vote and represented in person (through participation by means of remote or “virtual” communication) or by proxy will constitute a quorum. Votes cast by proxy or in person (through participation by means of remote or “virtual” communication) at each Annual Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for that Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will treat abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees, typically in “street name,” as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter) as present for purposes of determining a quorum. The proposal described in this Joint Proxy Statement is considered a “routine” matter under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), and beneficial owners who do not provide proxy instructions or who do not return a proxy card may have their shares voted by broker-dealer firms on the proposal in the discretion of such broker-dealer firms.

Pursuant to Rule 452 of the NYSE, certain Preferred Shares held in “street name” as to which voting instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons otherwise entitled to vote as of one business day before the Annual Meeting, or, if adjourned or postponed, one business day before the day to which the Annual Meeting is adjourned or postponed, may be voted by the broker on the proposal in the same proportion as the votes cast by all holders of Preferred Shares as a class who have voted on the proposal. Rule 452 permits proportionate voting of Preferred Shares with respect to a particular item if, among other things, (i) a minimum of 30% of the Preferred Shares (or shares of a series of Preferred Shares if the matter must be voted on separately by series) outstanding has been voted by the holders of such shares with respect to such item, (ii) less than 10% of the Preferred Shares (or shares of a series of Preferred Shares if the matter must be voted on separately by series) outstanding has been voted by the holders of such shares against such item and (iii) for any proposal as to which holders of Common Shares and Preferred Shares vote as a single class, holders of Common Shares approve the proposal. For the purpose of meeting the 30% test, abstentions will be treated as shares “voted” and, for the purpose of meeting the 10% test, abstentions will not be treated as shares “voted” against the item. Rule 452 proportionate voting applies only to certain auction rate and remarketed preferred securities. AMTP Shares are not remarketed, thus the proportionate voting provisions of Rule 452 do not apply to these shares. The proportionate voting provisions of Rule 452 may apply to MFP and TFP Shares depending on their mode. The proportionate voting provisions of Rule 452 may apply to VRDP shares depending on their current rate period. The following table indicates whether the proportionate voting provisions of Rule 452 apply to each series of Preferred Shares.

4

Fund |  | Preferred Shares |  | Mode(1) |  | NYSE Rule 452 Applies?
Core Plus Impact |  | TFP Series A |  | Variable Rate Mode |  | No
Credit Strategies |  | TFP Series A |  | Variable Rate Demand Mode |  | Yes
Floating Rate Income |  | TFP Series A |  | Variable Rate Demand Mode |  | Yes
|  | TFP Series B |  | Variable Rate Mode |  | No
Minnesota Municipal |  | AMTP Series 2028 |  | N/A |  | No
Missouri Municipal |  | MFP Series A |  | Variable Rate Mode |  | No
Municipal Credit Opportunities |  | MFP Series A |  | Variable Rate Demand Mode |  | Yes
|  | MFP Series B |  | Variable Rate Mode |  | No
|  | MFP Series C |  | Variable Rate Mode |  | No
Preferred & Income Opportunities |  | TFP Series A |  | Variable Rate Demand Mode |  | Yes
|  | TFP Series B |  | Variable Rate Demand Mode |  | Yes
Variable Rate Preferred & Income |  | TFP Series A |  | Variable Rate Demand Mode |  | Yes
Virginia Municipal |  | VRDP Series 1 |  | Special Rate VRDP |  | No

(1) | As of the record date, February 18, 2025. The terms and conditions of each series of Preferred Shares, as well as the rights and privileges of each mode, if any, are described in the Statement Establishing and Designating the Rights and Preferences for each series of Preferred Shares, and any supplement or appendix thereto.

Broker-dealers who are not members of the NYSE may be subject to other rules, which may or may not permit them to vote your shares without instruction. We urge you to provide instructions to your broker or nominee so that your votes may be counted.

For each Fund, because the number of persons nominated for election as Board Members in accordance with the Fund’s by-laws equals the number of Board Members to be elected, the affirmative vote of a plurality (the greatest number of affirmative votes) of the shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required to elect each Board Member of that Fund. This means that the nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be elected to serve as Board Members. For example, if there are four nominees for election to the Board and four Board Members to be elected, a vote by plurality means the four nominees with the highest number of affirmative votes, regardless of the votes withheld for the nominees, will be elected. Because the election of Board Members in this case does not require that a minimum percentage of a Fund’s outstanding Common Shares and Preferred Shares be voted in favor of any nominee, assuming the presence of a quorum, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election of that Fund’s Board Members by holders of Common Shares and Preferred Shares.

Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on February 18, 2025, will be entitled to one vote for each share held and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional vote held. As of February 18, 2025, the shares of the Funds were issued and outstanding as follows:

For Multi-Market Income, Board Members Moschner and Thornton stood for election at the annual meeting of shareholders held on April 6, 2021 (the “2021 Shareholder Meeting”). Pursuant to Multi-Market Income’s by-laws, because the number of persons nominated for election as trustees at Multi-Market Income’s 2021 Shareholder Meeting exceeded the number of trustees to be elected, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote on the matter was required to elect trustees at Multi-Market Income’s 2021 Shareholder Meeting. No trustee nominee received the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote on the matter at Multi-Market Income’s 2021 Shareholder Meeting. Board Members Wolff, Moschner and Thornton stood for election at the annual meeting of shareholders held on April 8, 2022 (the “2022 Shareholder Meeting”).

Because a quorum was not present at Multi-Market Income’s 2024 Shareholder Meeting, action could not be taken on the election of trustees at Multi-Market Income’s 2024 Shareholder Meeting. As a result, each of Multi-Market Income’s Board Members continues to serve a “holdover” term as a trustee of Multi-Market Income, until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified.

Board Member Investments in the Funds

In order to create an appropriate identity of interests between Board Members and shareholders, the Nuveen Funds boards have adopted a governance principle pursuant to which each Board Member is expected to invest, either directly or on a deferred basis, at least the equivalent of one year of compensation in the funds in the Fund Complex.

The dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned by each Board Member and nominee in each Fund and the Fund Complex overseen by the Board Member or nominee as of December 31, 2024 is set forth in Appendix A. The number of shares of each Fund beneficially owned by each Board Member or nominee and by the Board Members, nominees and officers of the Funds as a group as of December 31, 2024 is also set forth in Appendix A. As of February 18, 2025, each Board Member’s individual beneficial shareholdings of each Fund constituted less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. As of February 18, 2025, the Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund. Information on

Board Members who own securities in companies (other than registered investment companies) that are advised by entities that are under common control with the Funds’ investment adviser as of September 30, 2024, is set forth in Appendix A.

Compensation

Prior to January 1, 2024, for the calendar year ended December 31, 2023, Independent Board Members received a $210,000 annual retainer, plus they received (a) a fee of $7,250 per day for attendance at regularly scheduled meetings of the Board; (b) a fee of $4,000 per meeting for attendance at special, non-regularly scheduled Board meetings; (c) a fee of $2,500 per meeting for attendance at Audit Committee meetings, Closed-End Fund Committee meetings and Investment Committee Meetings; (d) a fee of $5,000 per meeting for attendance at Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee meetings; (e) a fee of $1,250 per meeting for attendance at Dividend Committee meetings; and (f) a fee of $500 per meeting for attendance at all other committee meetings, and $100 per meeting when the Executive Committee acted as pricing committee for IPOs, plus, in each case, expenses incurred in attending such meetings, provided that no fees were received for meetings held on days on which regularly scheduled Board meetings were held. In addition to the payments described above, the Chair of the Board received $140,000, and the chairpersons of the Audit Committee, the Dividend Committee, the Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Closed-End Fund Committee and the Investment Committee received $20,000 each as additional retainers. Independent Board Members also received a fee of $5,000 per day for site visits to entities that provide services to the Nuveen Funds on days on which no Board meeting was held. Per meeting fees for unscheduled Committee meetings or meetings of Ad Hoc or Special Assignment Committees were determined by the Chair of such Committee based on the complexity or time commitment associated with the particular meeting. The annual retainer, fees and expenses were allocated among the Nuveen Funds on the basis of relative net assets, although management may have, in its discretion, established a minimum amount to be allocated to each fund. In certain instances fees and expenses were allocated only to those Nuveen Funds that were discussed at a given meeting.

Effective January 1, 2024, Independent Board Members receive a $350,000 annual retainer, plus they receive (a) an annual retainer of $30,000, increased to $35,000 as of January 1, 2025, for membership on the Audit Committee and Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee, respectively; (b) an annual retainer of $20,000, increased to $30,000 as of January 1, 2025, for membership on the Investment Committee; and (c) an annual retainer of $20,000, increased to $25,000 as of January 1, 2025, for membership on the Dividend Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee and Closed-End Funds Committee, respectively. In addition to the payments described above, the Chair and/or Co-Chair of the Board receives $140,000, increased to $150,000 as of January 1, 2025, annually; the chair and/or co-chair of the Audit Committee and Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee receive $30,000, increased to $35,000 as of January 1, 2025, annually; the chair and/or co-chair of the Investment Committee receives $20,000, increased to $30,000 as of January 1, 2025, annually; and the chair and/or co-chair of the Dividend Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee and Closed-End Funds Committee receive $20,000, increased to $25,000 as of January 1, 2025, annually. Independent Board Members will be paid either $1,000 or $2,500 for any ad hoc meetings of the Board or its Committees depending upon the meeting’s length and

25

immediacy. For any special assignment committees, the chair and/or co-chair will be paid a quarterly fee starting at $1,250 and members will be paid a quarterly fee starting at $5,000. The annual retainers, fees and expenses of the Board are allocated among the funds in the Nuveen Fund complex in an equitable manner, although a minimum amount may be established to be allocated to each fund. In certain instances, fees and expenses will be allocated only to those funds that are discussed at a given meeting.

The Funds do not have retirement or pension plans. Certain Nuveen funds (the “Participating Funds”) participate in a deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) that permits an Independent Board Member to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of his or her compensation as an Independent Board Member. The deferred compensation of a participating Independent Board Member is credited to a book reserve account of the Participating Fund when the compensation would otherwise have been paid to such Independent Board Member. The value of an Independent Board Member’s deferral account at any time is equal to the value that the account would have had if contributions to the account had been invested and reinvested in shares of one or more of the eligible Nuveen funds. At the time for commencing distributions from an Independent Board Member’s deferral account, the Independent Board Member may elect to receive distributions in a lump sum or over a period of two to 20 years. The Participating Fund will not be liable for any other fund’s obligations to make distributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan.

Effective January 1, 2024, for Core Plus Impact, Multi-Asset Income, Multi-Market Income, Real Asset and Variable Rate Preferred & Income, the Board invited Mr. Boateng and Mr. Forrester and, for Multi-Market Income, Mr. Starr to serve as consultants to the Board. Each of Mr. Boateng, Mr. Forrester and Mr. Starr serve as a member of the boards of certain other funds in the Fund Complex. For Core Plus Impact, Multi-Asset Income, Real Asset, Multi-Market Income and Rate Variable Preferred & Income, Mr. Boateng and Mr. Forrester and, for Multi-Market Income, Mr. Starr, are compensated by the Fund(s) pursuant to a consulting agreement.

The Funds have no employees. The officers of the Funds serve without any compensation from the Funds. The Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer’s (“CCO”) compensation, which is composed of base salary and incentive compensation, is paid by the Adviser, with review and input by the Board. The Funds reimburse the Adviser for an allocable portion of the Adviser’s cost of the CCO’s incentive compensation.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

The Board of each Fund oversees the operations and management of the Fund, including the duties performed for the Fund by the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board has adopted a unitary board structure. A unitary board consists of one group of board members who serves on the board of every fund in the Nuveen Fund complex (except with respect to certain Nuveen Funds where certain directors may instead serve as consultants, as indicated in the “Board Members/Nominees” table included herein.) In adopting a unitary board structure, the Board Members seek to provide effective governance through establishing a board, the overall composition of which will, as a body, possess the appropriate skills, diversity (including, among other things, gender, race and ethnicity), independence and experience to oversee the Funds’ business. With this overall framework in mind, when the Board, through its Nominating and Governance Committee discussed below, seeks nominees for the Board, the Board Members consider not only the candidate’s particular background, skills and experience, among other things, but also whether such background, skills and experience enhance the Board’s diversity and at the same time complement the Board given its current composition and the mix of skills and experiences of the incumbent Board Members. The Nominating and Governance Committee believes that the Board generally benefits from diversity of background (including, among other things, gender, race and ethnicity), skills, experience and views among its members, and considers this a factor in evaluating the composition of the Board, but has not adopted any specific policy on diversity or any particular definition of diversity.

The Board believes the unitary board structure enhances good and effective governance, particularly given the nature of the structure of the investment company complex. Funds in the same complex generally are served by the same service providers and personnel and are governed by the same regulatory scheme which raises common issues that must be addressed by the Board Members across the fund complex (such as compliance, valuation, liquidity, brokerage, trade allocation and risk management). The Board believes it is more efficient to have a single board review and oversee common policies and procedures which increases the Board’s knowledge and expertise with respect to the many aspects of fund operations that are complex-wide in nature. The unitary structure also enhances the Board’s influence and oversight over the Adviser and other service providers.

In an effort to enhance the independence of the Board, the Board also has Co-Chairs that are Independent Board Members. The Board recognizes that a chair can perform an important role in setting the agenda for the Board, establishing the boardroom culture, establishing a point person on behalf of the Board for Fund management and reinforcing the Board’s focus on the long-term interests of shareholders. The Board recognizes that a chair may be able to better perform these functions without any conflicts of interests arising from a position with Fund management. Accordingly, the Board Members have elected Mr. Young to serve as an independent Chair of the Board. Pursuant to the Fund by-laws, the Chair shall perform all duties incident to the office of Chair of the Board and such other duties as from time to time may be assigned to him or her by the Trustees or the By-Laws. Specific responsibilities of the Chair include (i) coordinating with fund management in the preparation of the agenda for each meeting of the Board; (ii) presiding at all meetings of the Board and of the shareholders; and (iii) serving as a liaison with other trustees, the Trust’s officers and other fund management personnel, and counsel to the Independent Board Members.

Although the Board has direct responsibility over various matters (such as advisory contracts and underwriting contracts), the Board also exercises certain of its oversight responsibilities

29

through several committees that it has established and which report back to the full Board. The Board believes that a committee structure is an effective means to permit Board Members to focus on particular operations or issues affecting the Funds, including risk oversight. More specifically, with respect to risk oversight, the Board has delegated matters relating to valuation, compliance and investment risk to certain committees (as summarized below). In addition, the Board believes that the periodic rotation of Board Members among the different committees allows the Board Members to gain additional and different perspectives of a Fund’s operations. The Board has established seven standing committees: the Executive Committee, the Dividend Committee, the Audit Committee, the Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee, the Investment Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Closed-End Fund Committee. The Board may also from time to time create ad hoc committees to focus on particular issues as the need arises. The membership and functions of the standing committees are summarized below. For more information on the Board, please visit www.nuveen.com/fundgovernance.

Executive Committee. The Executive Committee, which meets between regular meetings of the Board, is authorized to exercise all of the powers of the Board. The members of the Executive Committee are Mr. Young, Chair, Mr. Kenny, Mr. Nelson and Mr. Toth. The number of Executive Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.

Dividend Committee. The Dividend Committee is authorized to declare distributions (with subsequent ratification by the Board) on each Fund’s shares, including, but not limited to, regular and special dividends, capital gains and ordinary income distributions. The Dividend Committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. The members of the Dividend Committee are Mr. Thornton, Chair, Ms. Lancellotta, Mr. Kenny, Mr. Nelson and Mr. Starr (for all Funds other than Multi-Market Income). The number of Dividend Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.

Audit Committee. The Board has an Audit Committee, in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), that is composed of Independent Board Members who are also “independent” as that term is defined in the listing standards pertaining to closed-end funds of the NYSE or NASDAQ, as applicable. The Audit Committee assists the Board in: the oversight and monitoring of the accounting and financial reporting policies, processes and practices of the Funds, and the audits of the financial statements of the Funds; the quality and integrity of the financial statements of the Funds; the Funds’ compliance with legal and regulatory requirements relating to the Funds’ financial statements; the independent auditors’ qualifications, performance and independence; and the Valuation Policy of the Nuveen Funds and the internal valuation group of the Adviser, as valuation designee for the Nuveen Funds. It is the responsibility of the Audit Committee to select, evaluate and replace any independent auditors (subject only to Board approval and, if applicable, shareholder ratification) and to determine their compensation. The Audit Committee is also responsible for, among other things, overseeing the valuation of securities comprising the Funds’ portfolios. The Audit Committee is also primarily responsible for the oversight of the Valuation Policy and actions taken by the Adviser, as valuation designee of the Fund, through its internal valuation group, which provides regular reports to the Audit Committee, reviews any issues relating to the valuation of the Funds’ securities brought to its attention, and considers the risks to the Funds in assessing the possible resolutions to these matters. The Audit Committee may also consider any financial risk exposures for the Funds in conjunction with performing its functions.

30

To fulfill its oversight duties, the Audit Committee regularly meets with Fund management to discuss the Nuveen Funds’ annual and semi-annual reports and has regular meetings with the external auditors for the Funds and the Adviser’s internal audit group. In assessing financial risk disclosure, the Audit Committee also may review, in a general manner, the processes the Board or other Board committees have in place with respect to risk assessment and risk management as well as compliance with legal and regulatory matters relating to the Funds’ financial statements. The Audit Committee operates under a written Audit Committee Charter (the “Charter”) adopted and approved by the Board, which Charter conforms to the listing standards of the NYSE or NASDAQ, as applicable. Members of the Audit Committee are independent (as set forth in the Charter) and free of any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board Members, would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment as an Audit Committee member. The members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Nelson, Chair, Mr. Boateng (for all Funds other than Core Plus Impact, Multi-Asset Income, Multi-Market Income, Real Asset and Variable Rate Preferred & Income), Ms. Lancellotta, Mr. Starr (for all Funds other than Multi-Market Income), Mr. Thornton, Ms. Wolff and Mr. Young, each of whom is an Independent Board Member of the Funds. Mr. Moschner, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Starr and Mr. Young have each been designated as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). A copy of the Charter is available at https://www.nuveen.com/fundgovernance. The number of Audit Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.

Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee. The Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee (the “Compliance Committee”) is responsible for the oversight of compliance issues, risk management and other regulatory matters affecting the Funds that are not otherwise under or within the jurisdiction of the other committees. The Board has adopted and periodically reviews policies and procedures designed to address the Funds’ compliance and risk matters. As part of its duties, the Compliance Committee: reviews the policies and procedures relating to compliance matters and recommends modifications thereto as necessary or appropriate to the full Board; develops new policies and procedures as new regulatory matters affecting the Funds arise from time to time; evaluates or considers any comments or reports from examinations from regulatory authorities and responses thereto; and performs any special reviews, investigations or other oversight responsibilities relating to risk management, compliance and/or regulatory matters as requested by the Board.

In addition, the Compliance Committee is responsible for risk oversight, including, but not limited to, the oversight of general risks related to investments which are not reviewed by other committees, such as liquidity and derivatives usage; risks related to product structure elements, such as leverage; techniques that may be used to address the foregoing risks, such as hedging and swaps and Fund operational risk and risks related to the overall operation of the TIAA/Nuveen enterprise and, in each case, the controls designed to address or mitigate such risks. In assessing issues brought to the Compliance Committee’s attention or in reviewing a particular policy, procedure, investment technique or strategy, the Compliance Committee evaluates the risks to the Funds in adopting a particular approach compared to the anticipated benefits to the Funds and their shareholders. In fulfilling its obligations, the Compliance Committee meets on a quarterly basis. The Compliance Committee receives written and oral reports from the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and meets privately with the CCO at each of its quarterly meetings. The CCO also provides an annual report to the full Board regarding the operations of the Funds’ and other service providers’ compliance programs as

31

well as any recommendations for modifications thereto. Certain matters not addressed at the committee level may be addressed by another committee or directly by the full Board. The Compliance Committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. The members of the Compliance Committee are Ms. Wolff, Chair, Mr. Forrester (for all Funds other than Core Plus Impact, Multi-Asset Income, Multi-Market Income, Real Asset and Variable Rate Preferred & Income), Mr. Kenny, Ms. Medero, Mr. Moschner and Mr. Toth. The number of Compliance Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.

Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for seeking, identifying and recommending to the Board qualified candidates for election or appointment to the Board. In addition, the Nominating and Governance Committee oversees matters of corporate governance, including the evaluation of Board performance and processes, the assignment and rotation of committee members, and the establishment of corporate governance guidelines and procedures, to the extent necessary or desirable, and matters related thereto. The Nominating and Governance Committee recognizes that as demands on the Board evolve over time (such as through an increase in the number of funds overseen or an increase in the complexity of the issues raised), the Nominating and Governance Committee must continue to evaluate the Board and committee structures and their processes and modify the foregoing as may be necessary or appropriate to continue to provide effective governance. Accordingly, the Nominating and Governance Committee has a separate meeting each year to, among other things, review the Board and committee structures, their performance and functions, and recommend any modifications thereto or alternative structures or processes that would enhance the Board’s governance of the Funds.

In addition, the Nominating and Governance Committee, among other things: makes recommendations concerning the continuing education of Board Members; monitors performance of legal counsel; establishes and monitors a process by which security holders are able to communicate in writing with Board Members; and periodically reviews and makes recommendations about any appropriate changes to Board Member compensation. In the event of a vacancy on the Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee receives suggestions from various sources, including shareholders, as to suitable candidates. Suggestions should be sent in writing to William Siffermann, Manager of Fund Board Relations, Nuveen, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606. The Nominating and Governance Committee sets appropriate standards and requirements for nominations for new Board Members and each nominee is evaluated using the same standards. However, the Nominating and Governance Committee reserves the right to interview any and all candidates and to make the final selection of any new Board Members. In considering a candidate’s qualifications, each candidate must meet certain basic requirements, including relevant skills and experience, time availability (including the time requirements for due diligence meetings with sub-advisers and service providers) and, if qualifying as an Independent Board Member candidate, independence from the Adviser, sub-advisers, underwriters and other service providers, including any affiliates of these entities. These skill and experience requirements may vary depending on the current composition of the Board, since the goal is to ensure an appropriate range of skills, diversity and experience, in the aggregate. Accordingly, the particular factors considered and weight given to these factors will depend on the composition of the Board and the skills and backgrounds of the incumbent Board Members at the time of consideration of the nominees. All candidates, however, must meet high expectations of personal integrity, independence, governance experience and professional competence. All candidates must be

32

willing to be critical within the Board and with Fund management and yet maintain a collegial and collaborative manner toward other Board Members. The Nominating and Governance Committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board, a copy of which is available on the Funds’ website at https://www.nuveen.com/fundgovernance, and is composed entirely of Independent Board Members, who are also “independent” as defined by NYSE or NASDAQ listing standards. Accordingly, the members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are Mr. Young, Chair, Mr. Boateng (for all Funds other than Core Plus Impact, Multi-Asset Income, Multi-Market Income, Real Asset and Variable Rate Preferred & Income), Mr. Forrester (for all Funds other than Core Plus Impact, Multi-Asset Income, Multi-Market Income, Real Asset and Variable Rate Preferred & Income), Mr. Kenny, Ms. Lancellotta, Ms. Medero, Mr. Moschner, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Starr (for all Funds other than Multi-Market income), Mr. Thornton, Mr. Toth and Ms. Wolff. The number of Nominating and Governance Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.

Investment Committee. The Investment Committee is responsible for the oversight of Fund performance, investment risk management and other portfolio-related matters affecting the Funds which are not otherwise the jurisdiction of the other Board committees. As part of such oversight, the Investment Committee reviews each Fund’s investment performance and investment risks, which may include, but is not limited to, an evaluation of Fund performance relative to investment objectives, benchmarks and peer group; a review of risks related to portfolio investments, such as exposures to particular issuers, market sectors, or types of securities, as well as consideration of other factors that could impact or are related to Fund performance; and an assessment of Fund objectives, policies and practices as such may relate to Fund performance. In assessing issues brought to the committee’s attention or in reviewing an investment policy, technique or strategy, the Investment Committee evaluates the risks to the Funds in adopting or recommending a particular approach or resolution compared to the anticipated benefits to the Funds and their shareholders.

In fulfilling its obligations, the Investment Committee receives quarterly reports from the investment oversight and the investment risk groups at Nuveen. Such groups also report to the full Board on a quarterly basis and the full Board participates in further discussions with fund management at its quarterly meetings regarding matters relating to Fund performance and investment risks, including with respect to the various drivers of performance and Fund use of leverage and hedging. Accordingly, the Board directly and/or in conjunction with the Investment Committee oversees the investment performance and investment risk management of the Funds. The Investment Committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. This committee is composed of the Independent Trustees of the Funds. Accordingly, the members of the Investment Committee are Mr. Boateng (for all Funds other than Core Plus Impact, Multi-Asset Income, Multi-Market Income, Real Asset and Variable Rate Preferred & Income) and Ms. Lancellotta, Co-Chairs, Mr. Forrester (for all Funds other than Core Plus Impact, Multi-Asset Income, Multi-Market Income, Real Asset and Variable Rate Preferred & Income), Mr. Kenny, Ms. Medero, Mr. Moschner, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Starr (for all Funds other than Multi-Market Income), Mr. Thornton, Mr. Toth, Ms. Wolff and Mr. Young. The number of Investment Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.

Closed-End Fund Committee. The Closed-End Fund Committee is responsible for assisting the Board in the oversight and monitoring of the Nuveen funds that are registered as closed-end

33

management investment companies (“Closed-End Funds”). The Closed-End Fund Committee may review and evaluate matters related to the formation and the initial presentation to the Board of any new Closed-End Fund and may review and evaluate any matters relating to any existing Closed-End Fund. The Closed-End Fund Committee receives updates on the secondary closed-end fund market and evaluates the premiums and discounts of the Nuveen closed-end funds, including the Funds, at each quarterly meeting. The Closed-End Fund Committee reviews, among other things, the premium and discount trends in the broader closed-end fund market, by asset category and by closed-end fund; the historical total return performance data for the Nuveen closed-end funds, including the Funds, based on net asset value and price over various periods; the volatility trends in the market; the use of leverage by the Nuveen closed-end funds, including the Funds; the distribution data of the Nuveen closed-end funds, including the Funds, and as compared to peer averages; and a summary of common share issuances, if any, and share repurchases, if any, during the applicable quarter by the Nuveen closed-end funds, including the Funds. The Closed-End Fund Committee regularly engages in more in-depth discussions of premiums and discounts of the Nuveen closed-end funds. Additionally, the Closed-End Fund Committee members participate in in-depth workshops to explore, among other things, actions to address discounts of the Nuveen closed-end funds, potential share repurchases and available leverage strategies and their use. The Closed-End Fund Committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. The members of the Closed-End Fund Committee are Mr. Moschner, Chair, Mr. Kenny, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Starr (for all Funds other than Multi-Market Income), Mr. Thornton, Ms. Wolff and Mr. Young. The number of Closed-End Fund Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.

Board Member Attendance. The number of regular quarterly meetings and special meetings held by the Board of each Fund during the Fund’s last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C. During the last fiscal year, each Board Member attended 75% or more of each Fund’s Board meetings and the committee meetings (if a member thereof) held during the period for which such Board Member was a Board Member. The policy of the Board relating to attendance by Board Members at annual meetings of shareholders of the Funds and the number of Board Members who attended the last annual meeting of shareholders of each Fund is posted on the Funds’ website at https://www.nuveen.com/fund-governance.

Board Diversification and Board Member Qualifications. In determining that a particular Board Member was qualified to serve on the Board, the Board considered each Board Member’s background, skills, experience and other attributes in light of the composition of the Board with no particular factor controlling. The Board believes that Board Members need to have the ability to critically review, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, and to interact effectively with Fund management, service providers and counsel, in order to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties, and the Board believes each Board Member satisfies this standard. An effective Board Member may achieve this ability through his or her educational background; business, professional training or practice; public service or academic positions; experience from service as a board member or executive of investment funds, public companies or significant private or not-for-profit entities or other organizations; and/or other life experiences. Accordingly, set forth below is a summary of the experiences, qualifications, attributes and skills that led to the conclusion, as of the date of this document, that each Board Member should continue to serve in that capacity. References to the experiences, qualifications, attributes and skills of Board Members are pursuant to requirements of the SEC, do not constitute holding out the Board or any Board Member as

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee of each Board is responsible for the oversight and monitoring of (1) the accounting and reporting policies, processes and practices, and the audit of the financial statements, of each Fund, (2) the quality and integrity of each Fund’s financial statements and (3) the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, performance and independence. In its oversight capacity, the Audit Committee reviews each Fund’s annual financial statements with both management and the independent registered public accounting firm and the Audit Committee meets periodically with the independent registered public accounting firm and internal auditors to consider their evaluation of each Fund’s financial and internal controls. The Audit Committee also selects, retains, evaluates and may replace each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee is currently composed of six Independent Board Members and operates under a written charter adopted and approved by each Board. Each Audit Committee member meets the independence and experience requirements, as applicable, of the NYSE, NASDAQ, Section 10A of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

The Audit Committee, in discharging its duties, has met with and held discussions with management and each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has also reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management. Management has represented to the independent registered public accounting firm that each Fund’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee has also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards (“SAS”) No. 114 (The Auditor’s Communication With Those Charged With Governance), which supersedes SAS No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees). Each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosure required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Rule 3526 (Communications with Audit Committees Concerning Independence), and the Audit Committee discussed with

44

representatives of the independent registered public accounting firm their firm’s independence. As provided in the Audit Committee Charter, it is not the Audit Committee’s responsibility to determine, and the considerations and discussions referenced above do not ensure, that each Fund’s financial statements are complete and accurate and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Based on the Audit Committee’s review and discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the representations of management and the report of the independent registered public accounting firm to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee has recommended that the audited financial statements be included in each Fund’s Annual Report.

The current members of the Audit Committee are:

Joseph A. Boateng (for all Funds other than Core Plus Impact, Multi-Asset Income, Multi-Market Income, Real Asset and Variable Rate Preferred & Income)

Amy Lancellotta

John K. Nelson, Chair

Loren M. Starr (for all Funds other than Multi-Market Income)

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. Generally, the Audit Committee must approve each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm’s engagements (i) with the Fund for audit or non-audit services and (ii) with the Adviser and Adviser Entities for non-audit services if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the independent registered public accounting firm for each Fund and the Adviser and Adviser Entities (with respect to the operations and financial reporting of each Fund), such engagements will be (i) pre-approved by the Audit Committee if they are expected to be for amounts greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the Audit Committee Chair for his or her verbal approval prior to engagement if they are expected to be for amounts under $10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii) reported to the Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting if they are expected to be for an amount under $5,000.

The Audit Committee has approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that the independent registered public accounting firm provided to each Fund and to the Adviser and Adviser Entities (with respect to the operations and financial reporting of each Fund). None of the services rendered by the independent registered public accounting firm to each Fund or the Adviser or Adviser Entities were pre-approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) or Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X.

Additional Information

Appointment of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of each Fund, except Core Equity Alpha, Core Plus Impact, Dow Dynamic Overwrite, Global High Income, Mortgage & Income, NASDAQ Dynamic Overwrite, S&P Buy-Write and S&P Dynamic Overwrite, has appointed KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as independent registered public accounting firm to audit the books and records of the Fund for its current fiscal year. The Board of each of Core Equity Alpha, Core Plus Impact, Dow Dynamic Overwrite, Global High Income, Mortgage & Income, NASDAQ Dynamic Overwrite, S&P Buy-Write and S&P Dynamic Overwrite has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as independent registered public accounting firm to audit the books and records of the Fund for its current fiscal year. A representative of each of KPMG and PwC will be present at the Annual Meetings to make a statement, if such representative so desires, and to respond to shareholders’ questions. Each of KPMG and PwC has informed each applicable Fund that it has no direct or indirect material financial interest in the Funds, Nuveen, the Adviser or any other investment company sponsored by Nuveen.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act and Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act require Board Members and officers, the Adviser, affiliated persons of the Adviser and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of a Fund’s equity securities to file forms reporting their affiliation with that Fund and reports of ownership and changes in ownership of that Fund’s shares with the SEC and the NYSE or NASDAQ, as applicable. These persons and entities are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Funds with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based on a review of these forms furnished to each Fund, each Fund believes that its Board Members and officers, the Adviser and affiliated persons of the Adviser have complied with all applicable

48

Section 16(a) filing requirements during its last fiscal year, and complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements in the previous fiscal year.

Principal Shareholders

As of February 18, 2025, no shareholder beneficially owned more than 5% of any class of shares of any Fund, except as provided in Appendix B.

Information About the Adviser

The Adviser, located at 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, serves as investment adviser and manager for each Fund. The Adviser is an indirect subsidiary of Nuveen, the investment management arm of TIAA. TIAA is a life insurance company founded in 1918 by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and is the companion organization of College Retirement Equities Fund.

Shareholder Proposals

To be considered for presentation at the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders for a Fund, shareholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act must be received at the offices of that Fund, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, not later than November 7, 2025. A shareholder wishing to provide notice in the manner prescribed by Rule 14a-4(c)(1) under the 1934 Act of a proposal submitted outside of the process of Rule 14a-8 for the Annual Meeting must, pursuant to each Fund’s by-laws, submit such written notice to the Fund no earlier than December 7, 2025 and no later than December 22, 2025. Timely submission of a proposal does not mean that such proposal will be included in a proxy statement.

Proposals may be presented by shareholders only if advance notice is duly submitted in accordance with applicable law and a Fund’s governing documents, and the subject matter of such proposal is a matter upon which the proposing shareholder is entitled to vote. Each Fund’s by-laws require shareholders submitting advance notices of proposals of business or nominations for election as Board Members to provide the Fund with certain information and representations about the proponent shareholder and the nominees or business being proposed. No shareholder proposal will be considered at any meeting of shareholders of a Fund if such proposal does not satisfy all applicable requirements set forth in the by-laws and, unless required by applicable law, no matter shall be considered at or brought before any meeting of shareholders unless such matter has been deemed a proper matter for shareholder action by the chair of the meeting, the Chief Administrative Officer of the Fund or at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the Fund’s trustees. A shareholder wishing to present a proposal of business or nomination is encouraged to carefully review the applicable Fund’s by-laws.

Copies of the by-laws of each Fund are available on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Shareholder Communications

Fund shareholders who want to communicate with the Board or any individual Board Member should write to the attention of William Siffermann, Manager of Fund Board Relations,

49

Nuveen, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606. The letter should indicate that you are a Fund shareholder and note the Fund or Funds that you own. If the communication is intended for a specific Board Member and so indicates, it will be sent only to that Board Member. If a communication does not indicate a specific Board Member, it will be sent to the Independent Chair and the outside counsel to the Independent Board Members for further distribution as deemed appropriate by such persons.

Expenses of Proxy Solicitation

The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy, accompanying notice and proxy statement and all other costs in connection with the solicitation of proxies will be paid by the Funds pro rata based on the number of shareholder accounts. Additional solicitation may be made by letter or telephone by officers or employees of Nuveen or the Adviser, or by dealers and their representatives. Any additional costs of solicitation will be paid by the Fund that requires additional solicitation.

General

Management does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe that any other items of business will be presented at the Annual Meetings.

Shareholders interested in seeking to inspect the list of shareholders of record for their respective Fund(s) should contact (800) 257-8787 for additional information. To email the Fund(s), please visit www.nuveen.com/contact-us.

Failure of a quorum to be present at any Annual Meeting will necessitate adjournment and will subject that Fund to additional expense. Under each Fund’s by-laws, the Annual Meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, may, by announcement of the person appointed to serve as chair of the meeting, be adjourned with respect to one or more or all matters to be considered at the meeting from time to time to a designated time and place. The appointed chair may adjourn any Annual Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies.
