Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

The worries weighing on markets at the end of 2018 appeared to dissipate in early 2019 as positive economic and corporate earnings news, more dovish signals from central banks and trade progress boosted investor confidence. However, political noise and trade disputes continue to drive short-term market volatility and weigh on longer-term outlooks. Investors are concerned that increased tariffs and a protracted stalemate between the U.S. and its trading partners could dampen business and consumer sentiment, weakening spending and potentially impacting the global economy. Acknowledging similar concerns, the U.S. Federal Reserve recently lowered its benchmark interest rate 0.25% for the first time in a decade and will stop reducing its bond portfolio sooner than planned to help stimulate the U.S. economy. As the current U.S. economic expansion has reached the 10-year mark this summer, it’s important to note that economic expansions don’t die of old age, but mature economic cycles can be more vulnerable to an exogenous shock.

Until a clearer picture on trade emerges, more bouts of market turbulence are likely in the meantime. While the downside risks warrant careful monitoring, we believe the likelihood of a near-term recession remains low. Global economic growth is moderating but still expanding, with demand driven by the historically low unemployment in the U.S., Japan and across Europe. Some central banks have begun to adjust monetary policy to help sustain growth and others continue to emphasize their readiness to act, while China’s authorities remain committed to keeping economic growth rates steady with fiscal and monetary policy.

The opportunity set may be narrower, but we believe there is still scope for gains in this environment. Patience and maintaining perspective can help you weather periodic market volatility. We encourage you to work with your financial advisor to assess short-term market movements in the context of your time horizon, risk tolerance and investment goals. On behalf of the other members of the Nuveen Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.

Sincerely,

Terence J. Toth

Chairman of the Board

The Funds feature portfolio management by NWQ Investment Management Company, LLC (NWQ), an affiliate of Nuveen, LLC (Nuveen). Jon D. Bosse, CFA, is the Chief Investment Officer of NWQ and along with Raymond O. Wicklander, CFA manages the Nuveen NWQ Multi-Cap Value and Large-Cap Value Funds. Phyllis Thomas, CFA, and Andy Hwang managed the Nuveen NWQ Small/Mid-Cap Value and Small-Cap Value Funds. James T. Stephenson, CFA, and Thomas J. Ray, CFA, manage the Nuveen NWQ Global Equity Income Fund and Peter Boardman and James T. Stephenson, CFA serve as portfolio managers of the Nuveen NWQ International Value Fund.

Effective July 17, 2019 ( subsequent to the close of the reporting period), Thomas Lavia, CFA, was added as a portfolio manager for the Nuveen Small/Mid-Cap Value Fund and the Nuveen NWQ Small-Cap Value Fund. Phyllis Thomas is no long a portfolio manager of the Funds.

Below, the team discusses economic and market conditions, the key investment strategies and performance of the Funds for the twelve-month reporting period ended June 30, 2019.

What factors affected the U.S. economy and financial markets during the twelve-month annual reporting period ended June 30, 2019?

The U.S. economy reached the tenth year of expansion since the previous recession ended in June 2009, marking the longest expansion in U.S. history. The Bureau of Economic Analysis “advance” estimate of gross domestic product (GDP) growth came in at 2.1% (annualized) for the second quarter of 2019, a notable slowdown from 3.1% annualized growth in the first quarter of the year and below the 2.5% growth rate achieved in 2018. GDP measures the value of goods and services produced by the nation’s economy less the value of the goods and services used up in production, adjusted for price changes. Strong consumer and government spending in the April to June 2019 quarter helped sustain the economy’s growth trend, despite weaker exports and reduced business investment.

Consumer spending, the largest driver of the economy, remained well supported by low unemployment, wage gains and tax cuts. As reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate fell to 3.7% in June 2019 from 4.0% in June 2018 and job gains averaged around 192,000 per month for the past twelve months. As the jobs market has tightened, average hourly earnings grew at an annualized rate of 3.1% in June 2019. However, falling energy prices dampened inflation over the past twelve months. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 1.6% over the twelve-month reporting period ended June 30, 2019 before seasonal adjustment.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)

Low mortgage rates and low inventory drove home prices moderately higher in this reporting period, despite declining new home sales and housing starts. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index, which covers all nine U.S. census divisions, was up 3.4% year-over-year in May 2019 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared). The 10-City and 20-City Composites reported year-over-year increases of 2.2% and 2.4%, respectively.

As data pointed to slower momentum in the overall economy, the Federal Reserve (Fed) notably shifted its stance. Although the Fed had indicated in December 2018 that there could be two more rate hikes in 2019, global growth concerns kept the central bank on the sidelines. As expected by the markets, the Fed left rates unchanged throughout the first half of 2019 while speculation increased that the Fed’s next move would be a rate cut. (Subsequent to the close of this reporting period, at the July policy committee meeting, the Fed announced a 0.25% cut to its main policy rate and that it will stop shrinking its bond portfolio sooner than scheduled.)

During the twelve-month reporting period, geopolitical news remained a prominent market driver. Tariff and trade policy topped the list of concerns, most prominently the U.S.-China relations. After several rounds of talks and a series of tariff increases, President Trump and President Xi agreed to another temporary trade truce in late June 2019 that halted additional tariff increases (although subsequent to the close of the reporting period, the U.S. announced a new 10% tariff on $300 billion of Chinese goods). Additionally, the U.S. administration walked back its ban on U.S. companies doing business with Chinese tech giant Huawei. The agreed-upon trade deal between the U.S., Mexico and Canada has yet to be ratified by the national congresses, while President Trump rescinded the threat to impose tariffs on Mexico if the country didn’t take more action to curb illegal immigration. Meanwhile, as agreed in July 2018, the U.S. and the European Union continued to withhold further tariffs. Markets grew increasingly worried that trade conflicts would dampen already slowing global growth, as negative sentiment could inhibit business, consumer and investor confidence and spending.

In the U.K., Prime Minister Theresa May was unable to secure a Brexit deal before the original March 29, 2019 deadline. The European Union extended the deadline to October 31, 2019, and Prime Minister May resigned effective June 7, 2019. (Subsequent to the close of the reporting period, as widely expected, Brexit hardliner Boris Johnson assumed premiership.) Europe also contended with Italy’s eurosceptic coalition government and its challenging fiscal condition, the “yellow vest” protests in France, immigration policy concerns, Russian sanctions and political risk in Turkey. (Subsequent to the close of the reporting period, Italy’s Prime Minister unexpectedly resigned amid a growing rift with the coalition government over key domestic and fiscal policies.)

Elections around the world also remained a source of uncertainty. Markets continued to closely monitor the new administrations in Brazil and Mexico, as well as Argentina’s upcoming presidential election. (After the close of the reporting period, President Macri, who is considered the market-friendly candidate, suffered a surprising defeat in the August primary vote.) In the U.K., the possibility of a no-deal Brexit increased under new Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Europe’s traditional centrist parties lost seats in the Parliamentary elections and populist parties saw marginal gains. The ruling parties in India and South Africa maintained their majorities, where slower economic growth could complicate their respective reform mandates.

The reporting period was marked by some intra-period volatility but posted a significant market rally, which continued until the end of the reporting period. U.S. equity markets have made strong double digit gains and reached new all-time highs in the first half of 2019. These gains came despite heightened volatility and sell-offs at the end of the fourth quarter 2018 and near the end of the reporting period in May 2019. From a sector perspective, information technology, which bore the impact of the sell-off in 2018, hit a new high and is now up over 25% year to date, while defensive sectors have tended to underperform. Having strengthened in the first quarter of 2019, the U.S. dollar weakened moderately, particularly against the Yen which rallied almost 3% but ended the reporting period positive overall. Global equity markets continued their gain higher with the MSCI World Index rallying almost 4% during the latter part of the reporting period. On a global basis, growth once again significantly outperformed value, while large cap and mid cap companies beat small cap stocks.

How did the Funds perform during the twelve-month reporting period ended June 30, 2019?

The tables in the Fund Performance and Expense Ratios section of this report provide total returns for the Funds for the one-year, five-year, ten-year and/or since inception periods ended June 30, 2019. Each Funds’ Class A Share total returns at net asset value (NAV) are compared with the performance of their corresponding market index and Lipper classification average. A more detailed account of each Fund’s performance is provided later in this report.

Table of Contents

What strategies were used to manage the Funds during the twelve-month reporting period ended June 30, 2019 and how did these strategies influence performance?

Nuveen NWQ Global Equity Income Fund

The Nuveen NWQ Global Equity Income Fund’s Class A Shares at NAV underperformed the MSCI World Index and its comparative Lipper classification average during the twelve-month reporting period ended June 30, 2019.

The Fund is designed to provide long-term capital appreciation and high current income. The Fund will generally focus its investments on income producing securities. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of the sum of its net assets and the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in equity securities. Up to 20% of the Fund’s net assets may be invested in debt securities, including corporate debt securities and U.S. government and agency debt securities. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in below investment grade debt securities, commonly referred to as “high yield” securities or “junk” bonds. The Fund may invest in securities of issuers located anywhere in the world. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 40% of its net assets in non-U.S. securities and invests in securities of companies representing at least three different countries (one of which may be the United States). The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities of companies located in emerging markets. The Fund may invest in equity securities issued by companies of any market capitalization, including small and medium market capitalization companies. The Fund may also utilize derivatives, including currency options, currency futures and options on such futures and currency forwards. The Fund may employ the use of structured notes to find compelling risk/reward investments.

Geographically, performance benefitted from allocation to Japan, United States and emerging markets. Investments in Europe, Middle East and the Pacific ex-Japan lagged overall and were a headwind for the Fund’s relative return for the reporting period. From a sector perspective, our investments in the utilities, consumer staples and energy sectors helped relative performance versus the MSCI World Index. Conversely, adverse performance in the financials, consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors were key detractors.

Several individual holdings contributed to absolute performance, including technology sector holdings, Cypress Semiconductor Corp, Oracle Corp and Nintendo Co. Ltd. Cypress Semiconductor Corp was rumored to be up for sale at the end of May 2019 and the rumored sale actually came to fruition in early June 2019. Oracle outperformed for the reporting period after reporting in-line top-line results and earnings-per-share growth. Guidance appeared strong with accelerated growth in the apps ecosystem and back office services as customers continued to migrate to cloud solutions. Nintendo was a top contributor as optimism over Switch hardware sales rose. Nintendo announced a partnership with Tencent to begin distributing the Nintendo Switch in China at a future date and the company forecasted hardware unit sales of 18 million in fiscal 2020, an increase of 1 million units year-over-year.

Several individual holdings detracted from absolute performance, particularly within the Fund's financial sector holdings. Unicaja Banco SA was the leading detractor in the portfolio. Unicaja detracted from performance following the announcement that the company had abandoned its plans to merge with Liberbank. Additionally the potential for European Central Bank (ECB) rate cuts and the effect on net interest income pushed shares lower. Also detracting from performance, was AIB Group PLC. The company has been under pressure from lower volume growth and higher cost inflation. We continue to hold Unicaja Banco and AIB Group. Lastly, Challenger Ltd/Australia detracted from performance coming off a weak fourth quarter 2018 in which the company lowered earnings expectations due to lower volume growth, lower yield on its investment portfolio and regulatory uncertainty regarding annuities. Challenger Ltd/Australia was eliminated from the Fund during the reporting period.

Nuveen NWQ International Value Fund

The Fund’s Class A Shares at NAV underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index and the Lipper classification average for the twelve-month reporting period ended June 30, 2019.

Our investment strategy remained focused on seeking companies with strong franchises whose shares were trading at a significant discount to what we believed to be their intrinsic value. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in non-US equity securities issued in developed countries, but it may invest up to 20% of its net assets in equity securities of companies located in emerging market countries. No more than 35% of the Fund’s net assets may be invested in equity securities of companies located in a single non-U.S. country. The Fund’s investment strategy is not designed to track the performance of any specific benchmark. However, for reporting purposes we use benchmarks for comparison.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)

The materials, communication services and information technology sectors were the leading contributors to performance on a relative basis versus the MSCI EAFE Index. Financials, consumer staples and energy sectors were the primary sector detractors from relative performance, mostly driven by underperforming selections within those respective sectors. On a regional basis, emerging markets holdings contributed to relative results while overall selections in the continental Europe, Middle East and the Pacific ex-Japan were the top detractors from performance.

Several individual holdings contributed to absolute performance including consumer discretionary sector holding, Wolters Kluwer NV, whose stock price traded to multi-year highs. In addition, consumer discretionary sector holding FUJIFILM Holdings Corp. contributed to absolute performance. The stock price rallied through the end of the 2018, after hitting recent lows. Lastly, material and processing sector holdings Koninklijke DSM NV outperformed in first quarter of 2019 as the company continues to differentiate itself from its more commodity-oriented chemical peers. The company demonstrated volume growth in both health and animal nutrition, and set 2019 guidance above consensus.

Several individual holdings detracted from absolute performance including financial sector holding Unicaja Banco SA. The Fund's holdings in Unicaja detracted from performance following the announcement that the company had abandoned its plans to merge with Liberbank. Additionally the potential for European Central Bank (ECB) rate cuts and the effect on net interest income pushed shares lower. In addition, health care sector holding, Bayer AG underperformed in the first quarter 2019 as glyphosate litigation concerns continue to plague the company. Bayer lost the first federal multi-district litigation trial, leading to a higher probability of an eventual class action settlement. Lastly, financials holdings Bank of Ireland Group PLC detracted from performance. Market concern over management turnover led to underperformance as Bank of Ireland's strategy and cost reduction plans have yet to be proven effective. We continue to hold Unicaja Banco, Bayer and Bank of Ireland.

Nuveen NWQ Multi-Cap Value Fund

Class A Shares at NAV for the Nuveen NWQ Multi-Cap Value Fund underperformed the Russell 3000^® Value Index and its Lipper classification average for the twelve-month reporting period ended June 30, 2019.

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity securities of companies with small, medium and large market capitalizations that are selected on an opportunistic basis. Generally, we look for undervalued companies where catalysts exist that may help unlock value or improve profitability. Such catalysts can be new management, improving fundamentals, renewed management focus, industry consolidation or company restructuring.

Favorable stock selection in the technology, materials & processing and the financial services sectors contributed positively to performance relative to the Russell 3000^® Value Index. However, the Fund’s holdings in the energy, health care and producer durables sectors were the key drivers of underperformance relative to the Russell 3000^® Value Index.

Several investments contributed meaningfully to the Fund’s absolute performance. Property and casualty holding RenaissanceRe Holdings, Ltd was a top contributor to Fund performance. RenaissanceRe outperformed as the market recognized the increasing evidence that the reinsurance cycle is turning in a positive direction. Insurance rates are hardening after several years of catastrophe losses. Technology holding, Oracle Corp also outperformed for the reporting period after reporting in-line top-line results and earnings-per-share growth. Guidance appeared strong with accelerated growth in the apps ecosystem and back office services as customers continued to migrate to cloud solutions. Lastly, ARRIS International PLC was also a top contributor to the Fund’s performance. In early November 2018, CommScope agreed to acquire ARRIS for an all-cash transaction. ARRIS management had become frustrated by investors’ lack of belief in their business model and in particular free cash flow generation. As a result, ARRIS agreed to a deal with CommScope who is looking to bolster their offerings as 5G cellular networks are built out in 2020 and beyond. We have eliminated our position in ARRIS International PLC.

Several holdings detracted from absolute performance. Two of the largest detractors from performance were within the energy sector, including EQT Corp and Newfield Exploration Company. The fourth quarter 2018 was an extremely challenging environment for energy stocks, as Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) both experienced precipitous declines in excess of 30% due to a combination of concerns over a global economic slowdown and the issuance of waivers for Iranian crude purchases, which left the market oversupplied just as fears on demand moved to the front of investors’ minds. The energy sector was down 25%, while the exploration and pro-

Table of Contents

duction (E&P) and oilfield services indexes were down 38% and 44% respectively. While rebounding from fourth quarter 2018 lows, energy stocks still experienced significant losses for the reporting period. EQT was the leading detractor from portfolio performance. EQT had an extremely disappointing year as operational issues led to a weak cash flow forecast given significant but fixable issues. The company completed its separation into EQT (gas E&P company) and Equitrans (gas pipeline company), and the stock prices of both companies actually rose during the final two months of 2018 post the separation. We remain optimistic on both EQT and Equitrans as both companies are extremely undervalued and have near term catalysts to drive their stock prices. Newfield Exploration Company was also a key detractor during the reporting period due to a combination of operating results (primarily a higher-than-expected gas/oil ratio and negative inventory revisions by peers in the Anadarko Basin) and the strong macro-driven sell-off in the four quarter 2018 that impacted all similarly sized E&Ps. Lastly, financial sector holding State Street Corp detracted from performance. State Street underperformed as earnings continued to fall on the back of compressed fees, rising expenses and declining asset valuations. We have eliminated our positions in both Newfield Exploration Company and State Street Corp.

Nuveen NWQ Large-Cap Value Fund

The Nuveen NWQ Large-Cap Value Fund’s Class A Shares at NAV underperformed both the Russell 1000^® Value Index and the comparative Lipper classification average for the twelve-month reporting period ended June 30, 2019.

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity securities of companies with large market capitalizations that are selected on an opportunistic basis. Generally, we look for undervalued companies where catalysts exist that may help unlock value or improve profitability. Such catalysts can be new management, improving fundamentals, renewed management focus, industry consolidation or company restructuring.

On a relative basis, technology, materials & processing and the consumer staples sectors were the leading contributors to Fund performance during the reporting period, while the energy, health care and producer durables sectors were the leading detractors to Fund performance on a relative basis versus the Russell 1000^® Value Index.

Technology holding, Oracle Corp outperformed for the reporting period after reporting in-line top-line results and earnings-per-share growth. Guidance appeared strong with accelerated growth in the apps ecosystem and back office services as customers continued to migrate to cloud solutions. The second largest contributor to Fund performance was technology holding Cypress Semiconductor Corp. The semiconductor manufacturer was a beneficiary of increased complexity in everything from autos to industrial and consumer devices. The company was rumored to be up for sale at the end of May 2019 and the rumored sale actually came to fruition in early June 2019. Lastly, financial services holding, First Data Corp also contributed to performance. First Data accepted an all stock merger proposal from Fiserv Inc. at a 31% premium. The combination makes strategic sense and both Fiserv and First Data have appreciated substantially since the offer was announced in early January 2019. We have reduced our position in the company.

Several holdings detracted from absolute performance. Two of the largest detractors from performance were within the energy sector, including EQT Corporation and Newfield Exploration Company. The fourth quarter 2018 was an extremely challenging environment for energy stocks, as Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) both experienced precipitous declines in excess of 30% due to a combination of concerns over a global economic slowdown and the issuance of waivers for Iranian crude purchases, which left the market oversupplied just as fears on demand moved to the front of investors’ minds. The energy sector was down 25%, while the exploration and production (E& P) and oilfield services indexes were down 38% and 44% respectively. While rebounding from fourth quarter 2018 lows, energy stocks still experienced significant losses for the reporting period. EQT was the leading detractor from portfolio performance. EQT had an extremely disappointing year as operational issues led to a weak cash flow forecast given significant but fixable issues.

Lastly, financial sector holding State Street Corp detracted from performance. State Street underperformed as earnings continued to fall on the back of compressed fees, rising expenses and falling assets. We have eliminated our positions in both Newfield Exploration Company and State Street Corp.

Nuveen NWQ Small/Mid-Cap Value Fund

The Nuveen NWQ Small/Mid-Cap Value Fund’s Class A Shares at NAV underperformed the Russell 2500^® Value Index and the Lipper classification average for the twelve-month reporting period ended June 30, 2019.

The Fund continued to follow its disciplined investment approach, which seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity securities of companies with small to medium market capitalizations selected using an analyst-driven, value oriented process. We look for undervalued companies where catalysts exist to unlock value or improve profitability. Such catalysts can be new management, improving fundamentals, renewed management focus, industry consolidation or company restructuring.

During the reporting period, strong stock selection in technology, materials & processing and producer durables sectors contributed positively to the Fund’s relative performance versus Russell 2500^® Value Index. Stock selection in the energy, financial services and having no exposure to the utilities sectors detracted from performance.

Financial sector holding RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd was a top contributor to the Fund's absolute performance. RenaissanceRe outperformed as the market recognized the increasing evidence that the reinsurance cycle is turning in a positive direction. Insurance rates are hardening after several years of catastrophe losses. Technology holdings Mellanox Technologies Limited and Cypress Semiconductor Corp were also top contributors to performance. Mellanox outperformed when, after months of speculation, Nvidia outbid Intel, Microsoft and Xilinx to acquire the company, paying $125 per share in an all-cash transaction. Mellanox has a diversified portfolio with a strong ethernet segment. Cypress Semiconductor Corporation, a semiconductor manufacturer was a beneficiary of increased complexity in everything from autos to industrial and consumer devices. The company was rumored to be up for sale at the end of May 2019 and the rumored sale actually came to fruition in early June 2019.

The three largest detractors from absolute performance were concentrated in the energy sector, including EQT Corporation, Carrizo Oil & Gas Inc. and Newfield Exploration Company. The fourth quarter 2018 was an extremely challenging environment for energy stocks, as Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) both experienced precipitous declines in excess of 30% due to a combination of concerns over a global economic slowdown and the issuance of waivers for Iranian crude purchases, which left the market oversupplied just as fears on demand moved to the front of investors’ minds. The energy sector was down 25%, while the exploration and production (E&P) and oilfield services indexes were down 38% and 44% respectively. While rebounding from fourth quarter 2018 lows, energy stocks still experienced significant losses for the reporting period. Carrizo Oil & Gas was a key detractor as investor concerns about a global economic slowdown weighed on stocks across the sector. Small caps were especially hurt during the sell-off, and Carrizo’s balance sheet is slightly more leveraged than peers. EQT Corp was another detractor from portfolio performance. EQT had an extremely disappointing year as operational issues led to a weak cash flow forecast given significant but fixable issues. The company completed its separation into EQT (gas E&P company) and Equitrans (gas pipeline company), and the stock prices of both companies actually rose during the final two months of 2018 post the separation. We remain optimistic on both EQT and Equitrans as both companies are extremely undervalued and have near term catalysts to drive their stock prices. Lastly, Newfield Exploration Company was also a key detractor during the reporting period due to a combination of operating results (primarily a higher-than-expected gas/oil ratio and negative inventory revisions by peers in the Anadarko Basin) and the strong macro-driven sell-off in the four quarter 2018 that impacted all similarly sized E&Ps. We have eliminated the Fund's position in Newfield Exploration Company.

Nuveen NWQ Small-Cap Value Fund

The Nuveen NWQ Small-Cap Value Fund’s Class A Shares at NAV underperformed the Russell 2000^® Value Index and its Lipper classification average for the twelve-month reporting period ended June 30, 2019.

The Fund continued to follow its disciplined investment approach, which seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity securities of companies with small market capitalizations selected using an analyst-driven, value oriented process. We look for undervalued companies where catalysts exist to unlock value or improve profitability. Such catalysts can be new management, improving fundamentals, renewed management focus, industry consolidation or company restructuring.

Positive stock selection in the technology and producer durables sectors helped relative performance, while stock selection in energy, financial services and having no exposure to the utilities sectors detracted from relative performance versus the Russell 2000^® Value Index.

Financial sector holding RenaissanceRe Holdings was a top contributor to the Fund's absolute performance. RenaissanceRe outperformed as the market recognized the increasing evidence that the reinsurance cycle is turning in a positive direction. Insurance rates are hardening after several years of catastrophe losses. Technology holding Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. was also a top contributor to performance. Mellanox outperformed when, after months of speculation, Nvidia outbid Intel, Microsoft and Xilinx to acquire the company paying $125 per share in an all-cash transaction. Mellanox has a diversified portfolio with a strong ethernet segment. Lastly, positive contribution to performance also came from financial holding Euronet Worldwide Inc. The company continued to generate healthy cash flows in each of its business segments. Specifically, it has leveraged its operational expertise in its ATM network and has grown its market share in money transfer.

Several individual holdings detracted from absolute performance, including energy sector holdings Carrizo Oil & Gas Inc. and Centennial Resource Development, Inc. The fourth quarter 2018 was an extremely challenging environment for energy stocks, as Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) both experienced precipitous declines in excess of 30% due to a combination of concerns over a global economic slowdown and the issuance of waivers for Iranian crude purchases, which left the market oversupplied just as fears on demand moved to the front of investors’ minds. The energy sector was down 25%, while the exploration and production (E&P) and oilfield services indexes were down 38% and 44% respectively. While rebounding from fourth quarter 2018 lows, energy stocks still experienced significant losses for the reporting period. Carrizo Oil & Gas was a key detractor as investor concerns about a global economic slowdown weighed on stocks across the sector. Small caps were especially hurt during the sell-off and Carrizo’s balance sheet is slightly more leveraged than peers. In addition, Centennial Resource Development, Inc. detracted as the company issued guidance well below consensus expectations. The company reduced its production growth rate to preserve its balance sheet in a low price environment, but guidance was still below expectations. We have eliminated the Fund's position in Carrizo Oil & Gas Inc. Lastly, consumer discretionary sector holding Hooker Furniture Corporation detracted from performance. Hooker Furniture underperformed due to weaker than expected first quarter 2019 results. This was due to a slowdown in the overall furniture market on the back of tariffs and slowing consumer demand. Hooker is working to shift more production outside of China and has stated their desire to pass on cost increases in the second half of 2019.

Fund Performance and Expense Ratios

The Fund Performance and Expense Ratios for each Fund are shown within this section of the report.

Returns quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Total returns for a period of less than one year are not annualized. Returns at net asset value (NAV) would be lower if the sales charge were included. Returns assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. For performance, current to the most recent month-end visit nuveen.com or call (800) 257-8787.

Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund Shares.

Returns may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the investment adviser during the periods presented. If any such waivers and/or reimbursements had not been in place, returns would have been reduced. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 7—Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates for more information.

Returns reflect differences in sales charges and expenses, which are primarily differences in distribution and service fees, and assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.

Comparative index and Lipper return information is provided for Class A Shares at NAV only.

The expense ratios shown reflect total operating expenses (before fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any) as shown in the most recent prospectus. The expense ratios include management fees and other fees and expenses.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including up-front and back-end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees, where applicable; and other Fund expenses. The Examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the period ended June 30, 2019.

The beginning of the period is January 1, 2019.

The information under “Actual Performance,” together with the amount you invested, allows you to estimate actual expenses incurred over the reporting period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the cost shown for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Incurred During Period” to estimate the expenses incurred on your account during this period.

The information under “Hypothetical Performance,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you incurred for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the following tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds or share classes. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

To the Board of Trustees of Nuveen Investment Trust and Nuveen Investment Trust II and Shareholders of Nuveen NWQ Global Equity Income Fund, Nuveen NWQ International Value Fund, Nuveen NWQ Multi-Cap Value Fund, Nuveen NWQ Large-Cap Value Fund, Nuveen NWQ Small/Mid-Cap Value Fund and Nuveen NWQ Small-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 NWQ Global Equity Income Fund, Nuveen NWQ Multi-Cap Value Fund, Nuveen NWQ Large-Cap Value Fund, Nuveen NWQ Small/Mid-Cap Value Fund, and Nuveen NWQ Small-Cap Value Fund (five of the Funds constituting Nuveen Investment Trust), and of Nuveen NWQ International Value Fund (one of the Funds constituting Nuveen Investment Trust II) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of June 30, 2019, the related statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2019, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (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, 2019, 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, 2019 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein 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, 2019 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.

(a)	Per share Net Investment Income (Loss) is calculated using the average daily shares method.
(b)	Total return is the combination of changes in NAV without any sales charge, reinvested dividend income at NAV and reinvested capital gains distributions at NAV, if any. Total returns are not annualized.
(c)	After fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement from the Adviser, when applicable. See Note 7 – Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates, Management Fees for more information.
(d)	Portfolio Turnover Rate is calculated based on the lesser of long-term purchases or sales (as disclosed in Note 5 – Investment Transactions) divided by the average long-term market value during the period.
(e)	Per share Net investment income (loss) and Net Investment Income (Loss)to Average Net Assets ratios include a change in estimated return of capital recorded by the Fund during the June 30, 2018. Such change in estimate occurred upon receiving the reporting of the actual character of the dividends received from the issuers of certain securities. If such change in estimate were excluded, per share Net Investment Income (Loss) and the ratios of Net Investment Income (Loss) to Average Net Assets for each share class would have been as follows:

	Per Share Net Investment Income (Loss)(a)	Ratios of Net Investment Income (Loss) to Average Net Assets Before Reimbursement	Ratios of Net Investment Income (Loss) to Average Net Assets After Reimbursement
Class A	$ 0.21	0.60%	0.69%

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies

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 NWQ Global Equity Income Fund (“NWQ Global Equity Income”), Nuveen NWQ Multi-Cap Value Fund (“NWQ Multi-Cap Value”), Nuveen NWQ Large-Cap Value Fund (“NWQ Large-Cap Value”), Nuveen NWQ Small/Mid-Cap Value Fund (“NWQ Small/Mid-Cap Value”) and Nuveen NWQ Small-Cap Value Fund (“NWQ Small-Cap Value”), among others, and Nuveen Investment Trust II is comprised of Nuveen NWQ International Value Fund (“NWQ International Value”), among others (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), as diversified funds. Nuveen Investment Trust and Nuveen Investment Trust II were each organized as Massachusetts business trusts in 1996 and 1997, respectively.

The end of the reporting period for the Funds is June 30, 2019, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 (the “current fiscal period”).

Investment 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 NWQ Investment Management Company, LLC (“NWQ”), an affiliate of Nuveen, under which NWQ manages the investment portfolios of the Funds.

Investment Objectives

NWQ International Value’s, NWQ Multi-Cap Value’s, NWQ Large-Cap Value’s, NWQ Small/Mid-Cap Value’s, and NWQ Small-Cap Value’s investment objectives are to provide investors with long-term capital appreciation. NWQ Global Equity Income’s investment objective is to provide investors with high current income and long-term capital appreciation.

The Funds’ most recent prospectus provides further descriptions of each Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks.

Significant Accounting Policies

Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 "Financial Services-Investment Companies." The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Investment Transactions

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the specific identification method, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have earmarked securities in their portfolios with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments.

As of the end of the reporting period, the Funds did not have any outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments.

Investment Income

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for 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, which reflects the amortization of premiums and includes accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income also reflects paydown gains and losses, if any.

Table of Contents

Professional Fees

Professional fees presented on the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in an attempt to protect or enhance an investment or to pursue other claims or legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders. If a refund is received for workout expenditures paid in a prior reporting period, such amounts will be recognized as “Legal fee refund” on the Statement of Operations.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders of the Funds (except for NWQ Global Equity Income) at least annually. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders of NWQ Global Equity Income at least quarterly. Net realized capital gains from investment transactions, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

Share Classes and Sales Charges

Class A Shares are generally sold with an up-front sales charge and incur a 0.25% annual 12b-1 service fee. 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 but incur a 0.75% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a 0.25% annual 12b-1 service fee. 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 ten years after purchase. Class R3 Shares are sold without an up-front sales charge but incur a 0.25% 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 any sales charge or 12b-1 distribution or service fees.

Multiclass Operations and Allocations

Income and expenses of the Funds that are not directly attributable to a specific class of shares are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Expenses directly attributable to a class of shares are recorded to the specific class. Currently, the only expenses that are allocated on a class-specific basis are 12b-1 distribution and service fees.

Sub-transfer agent fees and similar fees, which are recognized as a component of “Shareholder servicing agent fees” on the Statement of Operations, are not charged to Class R6 Shares and are prorated among the other classes based on their relative net assets.

Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Funds are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class.

Compensation

The Trust pays no compensation directly to those of its trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the 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.

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 the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the 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.

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.

The Funds' investments subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, if any, are further described in Note 3 - Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives.

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the current fiscal period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

2. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements

The fair valuation input levels as described below are for fair value measurement purposes.

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. A three-tier hierarchy 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 the reporting entity’s own 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).

Common stocks and other equity-type securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded and are generally classified as Level 1. Securities primarily traded on the Nasdaq National Market (“Nasdaq”) are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price and are generally classified as Level 1. However, securities traded on a securities exchange or Nasdaq for which there were no transactions on a given day or securities not listed on a securities exchange or Nasdaq are valued at the quoted bid price and 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 the most recent bid price of the underlying non-U.S.-traded stock, adjusted as appropriate for the underlying-to-ADR conversion ratio and foreign exchange rate, and from time-to-time may also be adjusted further to take into account material events that may take place after the close of the local non-U.S. market but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), which may represent a transfer from a Level 1 to a Level 2 security.

Prices of fixed-income securities are provided by an independent pricing service (“pricing service”) approved by the Board. The pricing service establishes a security’s fair value using methods that 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. These securities are generally classified as Level 2. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer or market activity, provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs.

Repurchase agreements are valued at contract amount plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. These securities are generally classified as Level 2.

The value of exchange-traded options are based on the mean of the closing bid and ask prices and are generally classified as Level 1. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are valued using an evaluated mean price and are generally classified as Level 2.

Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Funds’ shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares. If significant market events occur between the time of determination of the closing price of a foreign security on an exchange and the time that the Fund’s NAV is determined, or if under the Fund’s procedures, the closing price of a foreign security is not deemed to be reliable, the security would be valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established in good faith by the Board. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs.

Certain securities may not be able to be priced by the pre-established pricing methods as described above. Such securities may be valued by the Board and/or its appointee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securitieswhose trading has been formally suspended; debt securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market quotation; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to materi-

ally affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of a Fund’s NAV (as may be the case in non-U.S. markets on which the security is primarily traded) or make it difficult or impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as provided by the pricing service, is not deemed to reflect the security’s fair value. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be 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. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Board and/or its appointee.

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund’s fair value measurements as of the end of the reporting period:

3. Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives

Portfolio Securities

Foreign Currency Transactions

To the extent that the Funds invest in securities and/or contracts that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Funds will be subject to currency risk, which is the risk that an increase in the U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currency will reduce returns or portfolio value. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Funds' investments denominated in that currency will lose value because its currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. dollar falls in relative value. Investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars on a spot (i.e. cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market at the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and income denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.

As of the end of the reporting period, the Fund's investments in non-U.S. securities were as follows:

NWQ Global Equity Income	Value	% of Net Assets
Country:
Germany	$ 30,168,479	14.7%
Japan	19,226,159	9.4

Other	26,387,929	10.8
Total non-U.S. securities	$232,812,256	94.7%

The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Investment transactions, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates 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.

The realized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in foreign exchange rates associated with (i) foreign currency, (ii) investments (iii) investments in derivatives and (iv) other assets and liabilities are recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from investments and foreign currency” 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 net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments

and foreign currency” 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 net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.

Repurchase Agreements

In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is each Fund 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 reporting period, and the collateral delivered related to those repurchase agreements.

Fund	Counterparty	Short-Term Investments, at Value	Collateral Pledged (From) Counterparty*	Net Exposure
NWQ Multi-Cap Value	Fixed Income Clearing Corporation	$ 1,939,575	$ (1,939,575)	$ —
NWQ Large-Cap Value	Fixed Income Clearing Corporation	524,005	(524,005)	—
NWQ Small/Mid-Cap Value	Fixed Income Clearing Corporation	2,115,693	(2,115,693)	—
NWQ Small-Cap Value	Fixed Income Clearing Corporation	46,275,425	(46,275,425)	—

* As of the end of the reporting period, the value of the collateral pledged from the counterparty exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements. Refer to the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments for details on the repurchase agreements.

Investments in Derivatives

Each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments. The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds' investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes.

Options Transactions

When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recognized as a component of “Options written, at value” 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 a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction. The changes in the value of options written during the fiscal period are recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of options written” on the Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised or expires or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the difference between the net premium received and any amount paid at expiration or on executing a closing purchase transaction, including commission, is recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from options written” on the Statement of Operations. 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.

During the current fiscal period, NWQ Large-Cap Value wrote covered call options on individual stocks, while investing in those same stocks, to enhance returns while foregoing some upside potential.

The average notional amount of outstanding options written during the current fiscal period was as follows:

	NWQ Large-Cap Value
Average notional amount of outstanding options written*	$(150,800)

* The average notional amount is calculated based on the outstanding notional at the beginning of the current fiscal period and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal period.

The following table presents the amount of net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) recognized on options written on the Statement of Operations during the current fiscal period, and the primary underlying risk exposure.

Fund	Underlying Risk Exposure	Derivative Instrument	Net RealizedGain (Loss) from Options Written	Change in Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Options Written
NWQ Large-Cap Value	Equity price	Options written	$27,478	$(17,704)

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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.

Purchases	$ 69,101,083	$35,385,364	$19,472,003	$18,705,015	$14,557,491	$378,598,336

6. 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 to 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.

For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Certain Funds have filed for additional reclaims related to foreign taxes withheld in prior years, based on interpretations of European Union tax principles. Generally, to the extent a Fund reasonably determines that such additional tax reclaims are collectible and free from significant contingencies, the amounts are reflected as Dividends in the Statements of Operations. When such reclaims are received, the amounts received will reduce the amount of current year foreign tax credits passed through to shareholders consistent with guidance from the Internal Revenue Service.

The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the NAVs of the Funds.

The table below presents the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of each Fund’s investment portfolio, as determined on a federal income tax basis, as of June 30, 2019.

Permanent differences, primarily due to federal taxes paid, complex securities character adjustments, securities litigation settlements, foreign currency transactions, tax equalization, investments in partnerships, distribution reallocations and investments in passive foreign investment companies, resulted in reclassifications among the Funds’ components of net assets as of June 30, 2019, the Funds’ tax year end.

The tax components of undistributed net ordinary income and net long-term capital gains as of June 30, 2019, the Funds' tax year end, were as follows:

	NWQ Global Equity Income	NWQ International Value	NWQ Multi-Cap Value	NWQ Large-Cap Value	NWQ Small/Mid-Cap Value	NWQ Small-Cap Value
Undistributed net ordinary income^{1, 2}	$3,874,696	$6,317,263	$145,104	$ 402,803	$ —	$ 1,090,517
Undistributed net long-term capital gains	—	—	—	3,246,105	—	27,502,166

¹	Undistributed net ordinary income (on a tax basis) for NWQ Global Equity Income has not been reduced for the dividend declared on June 28, 2019 and paid on July 1, 2019.
²	Net ordinary income consists of net taxable income derived from dividends, interest, and net short-term capital gains, if any.

The tax character of distributions paid during the Funds’ tax years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was designated for purposes of the dividends paid deduction as follows:

2019	NWQ Global Equity Income	NWQ International Value	NWQ Multi-Cap Value	NWQ Large-Cap Value	NWQ Small/Mid-Cap Value	NWQ Small-Cap Value
Distributions from net ordinary income²	$5,975,897	$3,439,018	$ —	$ 401,531	$1,091,245	$ 4,675,365
Distributions from net long-term capital gains	5,631,773	—	—	11,024,705	6,759,721	65,123,051

Distributions from net ordinary income²	$9,706,041	$8,837,844	$1,620,143	$ 1,991,712	$ 92,417	$ —
Distributions from net long-term capital gains	—	—	—	15,907,371	2,900,010	29,144,984

²	Net ordinary income consists of net taxable income derived from dividends, interest, and net short-term capital gains, if any.

As of June 30, 2019, the Funds’ tax year end, the following Funds had unused capital losses carrying forward available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future capital gains, if any. The capital losses are not subject to expiration.

	NWQ Global Equity Income³	NWQ International Value	NWQ Multi-Cap Value
Not subject to expiration:
Short-term	$ 4,158,110	$ 11,558,734	$ —
Long-term	241,071,935	199,721,913	1,136,514
Total	$245,230,045	$211,280,647	$1,136,514

NWQ 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 nineteen years, at which point the annual limitation will further be reduced to approximately $1.2 million.

During the Funds' tax year ended June 30, 2019, NWQ International Value utilized $2,700,938 of its capital loss carryforward.

The Funds have elected to defer late-year losses in accordance with federal income tax rules. These losses are treated as having arisen on the first day of the following fiscal year. The following Funds have elected to defer losses as follows:

	NWQ Small/Mid-Cap Value	NWQ Small-Cap Value
Post-October capital losses⁴	$292,520	$12,360,749

⁵	Ordinary losses incurred from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 and/or specified losses incurred from November 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees

Each Fund’s management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. NWQ 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:

Average Daily Net Assets	NWQ Global Equity Income	NWQ International Value	NWQ Multi-Cap Value	NWQ Large-Cap Value	NWQ Small/Mid-Cap Value	NWQ Small-Cap Value
For the first $125 million	0.5500%	0.5500%	0.5500%	0.5000%	0.6000%	0.6500%
For the next $125 million	0.5375	0.5375	0.5375	0.4875	0.5875	0.6375
For the next $250 million	0.5250	0.5250	0.5250	0.4750	0.5750	0.6250
For the next $500 million	0.5125	0.5125	0.5125	0.4625	0.5625	0.6125
For the next $1 billion	0.5000	0.5000	0.5000	0.4500	0.5500	0.6000
For the next $3 billion	0.4750	0.4750	0.4750	0.4250	0.5250	0.5750
For the next $2.5 billion	0.4500	0.4500	0.4500	0.4000	0.5000	0.5500
For the next $2.5 billion	0.4375	0.4375	0.4375	0.3875	0.4875	0.5375
For net assets over $10 billion	0.4250	0.4250	0.4250	0.3750	0.4750	0.5250

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated according to the following schedule:

Complex-Level Eligible Asset Breakpoint Level*	Effective Complex-Level Fee Rate at Breakpoint Level
$55 billion	0.2000%
$56 billion	0.1996
$57 billion	0.1989
$60 billion	0.1961
$63 billion	0.1931
$66 billion	0.1900
$71 billion	0.1851
$76 billion	0.1806
$80 billion	0.1773
$91 billion	0.1691
$125 billion	0.1599
$200 billion	0.1505
$250 billion	0.1469
$300 billion	0.1445

* The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily “eligible assets” of all Nuveen open-end and closed-end funds. Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen funds or assets in excess of a determined amount (originally $2 billion) added to the Nuveen fund complex in connection with the Adviser’s assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011. Eligible assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to certain types of leverage. For these purposes, 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 June 30, 2019, the complex-level fee for each Fund was 0.1577%.

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 expenses for the Class R6 Shares will be less than the expense limitation. The expense limitations that expire may be terminated or modified prior to that date only with the approval of the Board. The expense limitation in effect thereafter may be terminated or modified only with the approval of the shareholders of each Fund.

Fund	Temporary Expense Cap	Temporary Expense Cap Expiration Date	Permanent Expense Cap
NWQ Global Equity Income	0.90%	July 31, 2021	N/A

8. Borrowings Arrangements

Committed Line of Credit

The Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Adviser (“Participating Funds”), have established a 364-day, $2.65 billion standby credit facility with a group of lenders, under which the Participating Funds may borrow for various purposes other than 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 2020 unless extended or renewed.

The credit facility has the following terms: a fee of 0.15% per annum on unused commitment amounts, and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) one-month LIBOR (London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) plus 1.00% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed. Participating Funds paid administration, legal and arrangement fees, which are recognized as a component of “Other expenses” 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, none of the Funds utilized this facility.

9. New Accounting Pronouncements

Disclosure Update and Simplification

During August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification (“Final Rule Release No. 33-10532”). Final Rule Release No. 33-10532 amends certain financial statement disclosure requirements to conform to U.S. GAAP. The amendments to Rule 6-04.17 of Regulation S-X (balance sheet) remove the requirement to separately state the book basis components of net assets: undistributed (over-distribution of) net investment income (“UNII”), accumulated undistributed net realized gains (losses), and net unrealizedn appreciation (depreciation) at the balance sheet date. Instead, consistent with U.S. GAAP, funds will be required to disclose total distributable earnings. The amendments to Rule 6-09 of Regulation S-X (statement of changes in net assets) remove the requirement to separately state the sources

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

of distributions paid. Instead, consistent with U.S. GAAP, funds will be required to disclose the total amount of distributions paid, except that any tax return of capital must be separately disclosed. The amendments also remove the requirement to parenthetically state the book basis amount of UNII on the statement of changes in net assets.

The requirements of Final Rule Release No. 33-10532 are effective November 5, 2018, and the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the current reporting period have been modified accordingly. In addition, certain amounts within each Fund’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the prior fiscal period have been modified to conform to Final Rule Release No. 33-10532.

The Funds' distributions from the prior fiscal period were paid from net investment income unless indicated in the following table.

Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework

During August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”), Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosures required by Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. During the current reporting period, management early implemented this guidance. This implementation did not have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

10. Subsequent Events

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process

(Unaudited)

At a meeting held on May 21-23, 2019 (the “May Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board” and each Trustee, a “Board Member”) of the Funds, including the Board Members who are not “interested persons” (as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”)) (the “Independent Board Members”), approved, for each Fund, the renewal of the management agreement (each, an “Investment Management Agreement”) with Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) pursuant to which the Adviser serves as investment adviser to such Fund and the sub-advisory agreement (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with NWQ Investment Management Company, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) pursuant to which the Sub-Adviser serves as the sub-adviser to such Fund. Following an initial two-year period, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, is required under the 1940 Act to review and approve 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 response to a request on behalf of the Independent Board Members by independent legal counsel, the Board received and reviewed prior to the May Meeting extensive materials specifically prepared for the annual review of Advisory Agreements by the Adviser as well as by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data. The materials provided in connection with the annual review covered a breadth of subject matter including, but not limited to, a description of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Fund Advisers; a review of the Sub-Adviser and investment team; an analysis of fund performance in absolute terms and as compared to the performance of certain peer funds and benchmarks with a focus on any performance outliers; an analysis of the fees and expense ratios of the Nuveen funds in absolute terms and as compared to those of certain peer funds with a focus on any expense outliers; a description of portfolio manager compensation; a review of the performance of various service providers; a description of various initiatives Nuveen had undertaken or continued during the year for the benefit of particular fund(s) and/or the complex; a description of the profitability or financial data of Nuveen and the Sub-Adviser; and a description of indirect benefits received by the Fund Advisers as a result of their relationships with the Nuveen funds. The Board Members held an in-person meeting on April 17-18, 2019 (the “April Meeting”), in part, to review and discuss the performance of the Nuveen funds and the Adviser’s evaluation of the various sub-advisers to the Nuveen funds. The Independent Board Members asked questions and requested additional information that was provided for the May Meeting.

The information prepared specifically for the annual review of the Advisory Agreements supplemented the information provided to the Board and its committees throughout the year. The Board and its committees met regularly during the year and the information provided and topics discussed were relevant to the review of the Advisory Agreements. Some of these reports and other data included, among other things, materials that outlined the investment performance of the Nuveen funds; strategic plans of the Adviser which may impact the services it provides to the Nuveen funds; the review of the Nuveen funds and applicable investment teams; compliance, regulatory and risk management matters; the trading practices of the various sub-advisers; valuation of securities; fund expenses; payments to financial intermediaries, including 12b-1 fees and sub-transfer agency fees; and overall market and regulatory developments. The Board further continued its practice of seeking to meet periodically with the various sub-advisers to the Nuveen funds and their investment teams, when feasible. The Independent Board Members considered the review of the Advisory Agreements to be an ongoing process and employed the accumulated information, knowledge, and experience the Board Members had gained during their tenure on the boards governing the Nuveen funds and working with the Fund Advisers in their review of the Advisory Agreements. The contractual arrangements are a result of multiple years of review, negotiation and information provided in connection with the boards’ annual review of the Nuveen funds’ advisory arrangements and oversight of the Nuveen funds.

The Independent Board Members were advised by independent legal counsel during the annual review process as well as throughout the year, including meeting in executive sessions with such counsel at which no representatives from the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser were present. In connection with their annual review, the Independent Board Members also received a memorandum from independent legal counsel outlining their fiduciary duties and legal standards in reviewing the Advisory Agreements.

Table of Contents

In deciding to renew the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members did not identify a particular factor or information as determinative or controlling, but rather the decision reflected the comprehensive consideration of all the information provided, and each Board Member may have attributed different levels of importance to the various factors and information considered in connection with the approval process. The following summarizes the principal factors and information, but not all the factors, the Board considered in deciding to renew the Advisory Agreements and its conclusions.

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

In evaluating the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the applicable Fund Adviser’s services provided to the respective Fund with particular focus on the services and enhancements to such services provided during the last year. The Board recognized that the Adviser provides a comprehensive set of services necessary to operate the Nuveen funds in a highly regulated industry and noted that the scope of such services has expanded over the years as a result of regulatory, market and other developments, such as the development of the liquidity management program and expanded compliance programs. Some of the functions the Adviser is responsible for include, but are not limited to: product management (such as analyzing a fund’s position in the marketplace, setting dividends, preparing shareholder and intermediary communications and other due diligence support); investment oversight (such as analyzing fund performance, sub-advisers and investment teams and analyzing trade executions of portfolio transactions, soft dollar practices and securities lending activities); securities valuation services (such as executing the daily valuation process for portfolio securities and developing and recommending changes to valuation policies and procedures); risk management (such as overseeing operational and investment risks, including stress testing); fund administration (such as preparing fund tax returns and other tax compliance services, overseeing the Nuveen funds’ independent public accountants and other service providers; managing fund budgets and expenses; and helping to fulfill the funds’ regulatory filing requirements); oversight of shareholder services and transfer agency functions (such as oversight and liaison of transfer agent service providers which include registered shareholder customer service and transaction processing); Board relations services (such as organizing and administering Board and committee meetings, preparing various reports to the Board and committees and providing other support services); compliance and regulatory oversight services (such as developing and maintaining a compliance program to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, monitoring compliance with applicable fund policies and procedures and adherence to investment restrictions, and evaluating the compliance programs of the Nuveen fund sub-advisers and certain other service providers); and legal support and oversight of outside law firms (such as with respect to filing and updating registration statements; maintaining various regulatory registrations; and providing legal interpretations regarding fund activities, applicable regulations and implementation of policies and procedures). In reviewing the scope and quality of services, the Board recognized the continued efforts and resources the Adviser and its affiliates have employed to continue to enhance their services for the benefit of the complex as well as particular Nuveen funds over recent years. Such service enhancements have included, but are not limited to:

•	Fund Improvements and Product Management Initiatives – continuing to proactively manage the Nuveen fund complex as a whole and at the individual fund level with an aim to enhance the shareholder outcomes through, among other things, repositioning funds, merging funds, introducing additional share classes, reviewing and updating investment policies and benchmarks, modifying the composition of certain portfolio management teams and analyzing various data to help devise such improvements;
•	Capital Initiatives – continuing to invest capital to support new funds with initial capital as well as to facilitate modifications to the strategies or structure of existing funds;
•	Compliance Program Initiatives – continuing efforts to enhance the compliance program through, among other things, internally integrating various portfolio management teams and aligning compliance support accordingly, completing a comprehensive review of existing policies and procedures and revising such policies and procedures as appropriate, enhancing compliance-related technologies and workflows, and optimizing compliance shared services across the organization and affiliates;
•	Risk Management and Valuation Services - continuing efforts to strengthen the risk management functions, including through, among other things, enhancing the interaction and reporting between the investment risk management team and various affiliates, increasing the efficiency of risk monitoring performed on the Nuveen funds through improved reporting, continuing to implement risk programs designed to provide a more disciplined and consistent approach to identifying and mitigating operational risks, continuing progress on implementing a liquidity program that complies with the new liquidity regulatory requirements and continuing to oversee the daily valuation process;
•	Additional Compliance Services – continuing investment of time and resources necessary to develop the compliance policies and procedures and other related tools necessary to meet the various new regulatory requirements affecting the Nuveen funds that have been adopted over recent years;
•	Government Relations – continuing efforts of various Nuveen teams and affiliates to advocate and communicate their positions with lawmakers and other regulatory bodies on issues that will impact the Nuveen funds;

Table of Contents

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)

•

Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery and Information Services – establishing an information security program to help identify and manage information security risks, periodically testing disaster recovery plans, maintaining and updating business continuity plans and providing reports to the Board, at least annually, addressing, among other things, management’s security risk assessment, cyber risk profile, incident tracking and other relevant information technology risk-related reports; and

•

Expanded Dividend Management Services – continuing to expand the services necessary to manage the dividends among the varying types of Nuveen funds that have developed as the Nuveen complex has grown in size and scope.

In addition to the services provided by the Adviser, the Board also considered the risks borne by the Adviser and its affiliates in managing the Nuveen funds, including entrepreneurial, operational, reputational, regulatory and litigation risks.

The Board further considered the division of responsibilities between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and recognized that the Sub-Adviser and its investment personnel generally are responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio. The Board noted that the Adviser oversees the Sub-Adviser and considered an analysis of the Sub-Adviser provided by the Adviser which included, among other things, the Sub-Adviser’s assets under management and changes thereto, a summary of the investment team and changes thereto, the investment approach of the team and the performance of the funds sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser over various periods. The Board further considered at the May Meeting or prior meetings evaluations of the Sub-Adviser’s compliance program and trade execution. The Board noted that the Adviser recommended the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.

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

In evaluating the quality of the services provided by the Fund Advisers, the Board also received and considered the investment performance of the Nuveen funds they advise. In this regard, the Board reviewed Fund performance over the quarter, one-, three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2018 as well as performance data for the first quarter of 2019 ending March 29, 2019. The performance data was based on Class A shares; however, the performance of other classes should be substantially similar as they invest in the same portfolio of securities and differences in performance among the classes would be principally attributed to the variations in the expense structures of the classes. Unless otherwise indicated, the performance data referenced below reflects the periods ended December 31, 2018. The Board considered the Adviser’s analysis of each fund’s performance, with particular focus on funds that were considered performance outliers and the factors contributing to their performance. The Board also noted that it received performance data of the Nuveen funds during its quarterly meetings throughout the year and took into account the discussions that occurred at these Board meetings regarding fund performance. In this regard, in its evaluation of Nuveen fund performance at meetings throughout the year, the Board considered performance information for the funds for different time periods, both absolute and relative to appropriate benchmarks and peers, with particular attention to information indicating underperformance of the respective funds and discussed with the Adviser the reasons for such underperformance.

The Board reviewed both absolute and relative fund performance during the annual review. With respect to the latter, the Board considered fund performance in comparison to the performance of peer funds (the “Performance Peer Group”) and recognized and/or customized benchmarks (i.e., generally benchmarks derived from multiple recognized benchmarks). In considering performance data, the Board is aware of certain inherent limitations with such data, including that differences between the objective(s), strategies and other characteristics of the Nuveen funds compared to the respective Performance Peer Group and/or benchmark(s) (such as differences in the use of leverage) will necessarily contribute to differences in performance results and limit the value of the comparative information. To assist the Board in its review of the comparability of the relative performance, the Adviser has ranked the relevancy of the peer group to the funds as low, medium or high. Depending on the facts and circumstances, however, the Board may be satisfied with a fund’s performance notwithstanding that its performance may be below its benchmark or peer group for certain periods. In addition, the performance data may vary significantly depending on the end date selected, and shareholders may evaluate fund performance based on their own holding period which may differ from the performance periods reviewed by the Board leading to different results. Further, the Board considered a fund’s performance in light of the overall financial market conditions during the respective periods. As noted above, the Board reviewed, among other things, Nuveen fund performance over various periods ended December 31, 2018, and the Board was aware of the market decline in the fourth quarter of 2018 and considered performance from the first quarter of 2019 as well. The Board also noted that a shorter period of underperformance may significantly impact longer term performance.

In their review of performance, the Independent Board Members focused, in particular, on the Adviser’s analysis of Nuveen funds determined to be underperforming performance outliers. The Board recognized that some periods of underperformance may only be temporary while other periods of underperformance may indicate a broader issue that may require a corrective action. Accordingly, with respect to any Nuveen funds for which the Board had identified performance issues, the Board monitors such funds closely until performance improves, discusses with the Adviser the reasons for such results, considers whether any steps are necessary or appropriate to address such issues, and reviews the results of any efforts undertaken.

The Board’s determinations with respect to each Fund are summarized below.

Table of Contents

For Nuveen NWQ Global Equity Income Fund (the “Global Equity Income Fund”), the Board noted that the Fund ranked in the fourth quartile of its Performance Peer Group, and the Fund’s performance was below its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Board considered the Adviser’s explanation of the various factors that detracted from the Fund’s performance and was satisfied with the Adviser’s explanation.

For Nuveen NWQ International Value Fund (the “International Value Fund”), the Board noted that the Fund ranked in the third quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-, three- and five-year periods and the Fund’s performance was below its benchmark for such periods. The Board considered the Adviser’s explanation of the various factors that detracted from the Fund’s performance and was satisfied with the Adviser’s explanation.

For Nuveen NWQ Large-Cap Value Fund (the “Large-Cap Value Fund”), the Board noted that the Fund ranked in the fourth quartile of its Performance Peer Group and its performance was below its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s peer relative performance improved in the first quarter of 2019 with the Fund ranking in the second quartile of the Performance Peer Group for the one-year period ended March 29, 2019 and third quartile for the three-year period ended March 29, 2019. The Board considered the Adviser’s explanation of the various factors that detracted from the Fund’s performance and was satisfied with the Adviser’s explanation.

For Nuveen NWQ Multi-Cap Value Fund (the “Multi-Cap Value Fund”), the Board noted that although the Fund ranked in the fourth quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the five-year period, the Fund ranked in the third quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one- and three-year periods. The Fund’s performance also was below the performance of its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s relative peer performance improved in the first quarter of 2019 with the Fund ranking in the second quartile of the Performance Peer Group for the one- and three-year periods ended March 29, 2019. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.

For Nuveen NWQ Small/Mid-Cap Value Fund (the “Small/Mid-Cap Value Fund”), the Board noted that the Fund ranked in the fourth quartile of its Performance Peer Group and its performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Board considered the Adviser’ explanation of the various factors that detracted from the Fund’s performance and was satisfied with the Adviser’s explanation.

For Nuveen NWQ Small-Cap Value Fund (the “Small-Cap Value Fund”), the Board noted that the Fund ranked in the fourth quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one- and three-year periods and third quartile for the five-year period.

The Board considered the Adviser’s explanation of the various factors that detracted from the Fund’s performance and was satisfied with the Adviser’s explanation.

C. Fees, Expenses and Profitability

1. Fees and Expenses

In its annual review, the Board considered the fees paid to the Fund Advisers and the total operating expense ratio of each Nuveen fund, before and after any undertaking by Nuveen to limit the fund’s total annual operating expenses to certain levels. More specifically, the Independent Board Members reviewed, among other things, each fund’s gross and net management fee rates (i.e., before and after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any) and net total expense ratio in relation to those of a comparable universe of funds (the “Peer Universe”) and to a more focused subset of comparable funds (the “Peer Group”) established by Broadridge. The Independent Board Members reviewed the methodology Broadridge employed to establish its Peer Universe and Peer Group and recognized that differences between the applicable fund and its respective Peer Universe and/or Peer Group as well as changes to the composition of the Peer Group and/or Peer Universe from year to year may limit some of the value of the comparative data. The Independent Board Members also considered a fund’s operating expense ratio as it more directly reflected the shareholder’s costs in investing in the respective fund.

In their review, the Independent Board Members considered, in particular, each fund with a net expense ratio of six basis points or higher compared to that of its peer average (each, an “Expense Outlier Fund”), and an analysis as to the factors contributing to each such fund’s higher relative net expense ratio. Accordingly, in reviewing the comparative data between a fund and its peers, the Board generally considered the fund’s net expense ratio and fees to be higher if they were over 10 basis points higher, slightly higher if they were 6 to 10 basis points higher, in line if they were within approximately 5 basis points higher than the peer average and below if they were below the peer average of the Peer Group. The Independent Board Members also considered, in relevant part, a fund’s net management fee and net total expense ratio in light of its performance history.

In their review of the fee arrangements for the Nuveen funds, the Independent Board Members considered the management fee schedules, including the complex-wide and fund-level breakpoint schedules, and the expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers provided by Nuveen for each fund, as applicable. The Board noted that across the Nuveen fund complex, the complex-wide fee breakpoints reduced fees by $51.5 million and fund-level breakpoints reduced fees by $55.1 million in 2018. Further, fee caps and waivers for all applicable Nuveen funds saved an additional $15 million in fees for shareholders in 2018.

With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board considered the sub-advisory fee paid to the Sub-Adviser, including any breakpoint schedule, and as described below, comparative data of the fees the Sub-Adviser charges to other clients, if any.

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)

The Independent Board Members noted that (a) the Global Equity Income Fund, International Value Fund, Large-Cap Value Fund, Small/Mid-Cap Value Fund and Small-Cap Value Fund each had a net management fee and a net expense ratio that were below the respective peer averages and (b) the Multi-Cap Value Fund had a net management fee and a net expense ratio that were in line with the respective peer averages. 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.

2. Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients

In determining the appropriateness of fees, the Board also reviewed information regarding the fee rates the respective Fund Advisers charged to certain other types of clients and the type of services provided to these other clients. For the Adviser and/or the Sub-Adviser, such other clients may include retail and institutional managed accounts; sub-advised funds outside the Nuveen family; foreign investment companies offered by Nuveen; and collective investment trusts. The Board further noted that the Adviser also advised certain exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) sponsored by Nuveen.

The Board recognized that each Fund had an affiliated sub-adviser and, with respect to affiliated sub-advisers, reviewed, among other things, the range of fees assessed for managed accounts and foreign investment companies offered by Nuveen. The Board also reviewed the fee range and average fee rate of certain selected investment strategies offered in retail and institutional managed accounts by the Sub-Adviser and of the non-Nuveen investment companies sub-advised by affiliated sub-advisers.

In addition to the comparative fee data, the Board also reviewed, among other things, a description of the different levels of services provided to certain other clients compared to the services provided to the Nuveen funds as well as the differences in portfolio investment policies, investor profiles, account sizes and regulatory requirements, all of which contribute to the variations in the fee schedules. The Board noted, among other things, the wide range of services in addition to investment management services provided to the Nuveen funds when the Adviser is principally responsible for all aspects of operating the funds, including the increased regulatory requirements that must be met in managing the funds, the larger account sizes of managed accounts and the increased entrepreneurial, legal and regulatory risks that the Adviser incurs in sponsoring and managing the funds. Further, with respect to ETFs, the Board considered that Nuveen ETFs are passively managed compared to the active management of other Nuveen funds which contributed to the differences in fee levels between the Nuveen ETFs and other Nuveen funds. In general, higher fee levels reflect higher levels of service provided by the Adviser, increased investment management complexity, greater product management requirements, and higher levels of business risk or some combination of these factors. The Board further considered that the Sub-Adviser’s fee is essentially for portfolio management services and therefore more comparable to the fees it receives for retail wrap accounts and other external sub-advisory mandates. The Board concluded the varying levels of fees were justified given, among other things, the inherent differences in the products and the level of services provided to the Nuveen funds versus other clients, the differing regulatory requirements and legal liabilities and the entrepreneurial, legal and regulatory risks incurred in sponsoring and advising a registered investment company.

3. Profitability of Fund Advisers

In conjunction with their review of fees, the Independent Board Members considered information regarding Nuveen’s level of profitability for its advisory services to the Nuveen funds for the calendar years 2018 and 2017. The Board reviewed, among other things, Nuveen’s net margins (pre-tax) (both including and excluding distribution expenses); gross and net revenue margins (pre- and post-tax); revenues, expenses, and net income (pre-tax and after-tax and before distribution) of Nuveen for fund advisory services; and comparative profitability data comparing the adjusted margins of Nuveen compared to the adjusted margins of certain peers with publicly available data and with the most comparable assets under management (based on asset size and asset composition) for each of the last two calendar years. The Board also reviewed the revenues and expenses the Adviser derived from its ETF product line that was launched in 2016. The Independent Board Members noted that Nuveen’s net margins were higher in 2018 than the previous year and considered the key drivers behind the revenue and expense changes that impacted Nuveen’s net margins between the years. The Board considered the costs of investments in the Nuveen business, including the investment of seed capital in certain Nuveen funds and additional investments in infrastructure and technology. The Independent Board Members also noted that Nuveen’s adjusted margins from its relationships with the Nuveen funds were on the low range compared to the adjusted margins of the peers; however, the Independent Board Members recognized the inherent limitations of the comparative data of other publicly traded peers given that the calculation of profitability is rather subjective and numerous factors (such as types of funds, business mix, cost of capital, methodology to allocate expenses and other factors) can have a significant impact on the results.

The Independent Board Members also reviewed a description of the expense allocation methodology employed to develop the financial information and a summary of the history of changes to the methodology over the ten-year period from 2008 to 2018, and recognized that other reasonable allocation methodologies could be employed and lead to significantly different results. The Board noted that two Independent Board Members, along with independent counsel, serve as the Board’s liaisons to review profitability and discuss any proposed changes to the methodology prior to the full Board’s review.

Aside from Nuveen’s profitability, the Board recognized that the Adviser is a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC, the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”). As such, the Board also reviewed a balance sheet for TIAA reflecting its assets, liabilities and capital and contingency reserves for the 2018 and 2017 calendar years to consider the financial strength of TIAA having recognized the importance of having an adviser with significant resources.

In addition to Nuveen, the Independent Board Members also considered the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from its relationships with the Nuveen funds. In this regard, the Independent Board Members reviewed the Sub-Adviser’s revenues, expenses and revenue margins (pre- and post-tax) for its advisory activities for the calendar year ended December 31, 2018.

In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent Board Members also considered any other ancillary benefits derived by the respective Fund Adviser from its relationship with the Nuveen funds as discussed in further detail below.

Based on a consideration of all the information provided, the Board noted that Nuveen’s and the Sub-Adviser’s level of profitability was acceptable and not unreasonable in light of the services provided.

D. Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale

With respect to economies of scale, the Independent Board Members noted that although economies of scale are difficult to measure, the Adviser shares the benefits of economies of scale in various ways including breakpoints in the management fee schedule (subject to limited exceptions), fee waivers and/or expense limitations, the pricing of Nuveen funds at scale at inception and investments in its business which can enhance the services provided to the funds for the fees paid. With respect to breakpoint schedules, because the Board had previously recognized that economies of scale may occur not only when the assets of a particular Nuveen fund grow but also when the assets in the complex grow, the Nuveen funds generally pay the Adviser a management fee comprised of a fund-level component and a complex-level component each with its own breakpoint schedule, subject to certain exceptions. In general terms, the breakpoint schedule at the fund level reduces fees as assets in the particular fund pass certain thresholds and the breakpoint schedule at the complex-level reduces fees on the Nuveen funds as the eligible assets in the complex pass certain thresholds. The Independent Board Members reviewed, among other things, the fund-level and complex-level fee schedules and the temporary and/or permanent expense caps applicable to certain Nuveen funds (including the amounts of fees waived or amounts reimbursed to the respective funds in 2017 and 2018), including the temporary and/or permanent expense cap(s) applicable to each Fund. The Independent Board Members noted that as a result of fund-level management fee changes implemented in June 2017, none of the Nuveen open-end funds were above their top level fee breakpoint.

In addition, the Independent Board Members recognized the Adviser’s continued reinvestment in its business through, among other things, investments in its business infrastructure and information technology, portfolio accounting system as well as other systems and platforms that will, among other things, support growth, simplify and enhance information sharing, and enhance the investment process to the benefit of all of the Nuveen funds.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the current fee arrangements together with the Adviser’s reinvestment in its business appropriately shared any economies of scale with shareholders.

E. Indirect Benefits

The Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding other benefits the respective Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationship with the Nuveen funds. The Independent Board Members recognized that an affiliate of the Adviser serves as principal underwriter providing distribution and/or shareholder services to the open-end funds. The Independent Board Members further noted that the Nuveen open-end funds pay 12b-1 fees and while a majority of such fees were paid to third party broker-dealers, the Board reviewed the amount retained by the Adviser’s affiliate as a result of serving as principal underwriter. In addition, the Independent Board Members also noted that the Sub-Adviser engages in soft dollar transactions pursuant to which it may receive the benefit of research products and other services provided by broker-dealers executing portfolio transactions on behalf of the applicable Nuveen funds.

The Board, however, noted that the benefits for the Sub-Adviser when transacting in fixed-income securities may be more limited as such securities generally trade on a principal basis and therefore do not generate brokerage commissions. Further, the Board noted that although the Sub-Adviser may benefit from the receipt of research and other services that it may otherwise have to pay for out of its own resources, the research may also benefit the Nuveen funds to the extent it enhances the ability of the Sub-Adviser to manage such funds or is acquired through the commissions paid on portfolio transactions of other clients.

Based on their review, the Board concluded that any indirect benefits received by a Fund Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Funds were reasonable and within acceptable parameters.

F. Other Considerations

The Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including the Independent Board Members, concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement were fair and 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.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

The following tables show the amount of fees that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Funds’ auditor, billed to the Funds’ during the Funds’ last two full fiscal years. The Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, provided to the Funds, 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 preapproval exception for services provided directly to the Funds 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 Funds during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Funds 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 Chairman (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).
