1. Why did I receive this check?
What is this distribution about?

Nuveen Funds identified an isolated cash management issue that yielded excess interest expense in two Nuveen funds: the Nuveen Equity Long/Short Fund and the now-closed Nuveen Equity Market Neutral Fund.

As a result, investors who redeemed or exchanged out from the Nuveen Equity Long/Short Fund or the Nuveen Equity Market Neutral Fund during a specific time period (“Error Period”) received less proceeds than they were entitled to as a result of this isolated issue.

2. What is the Error Period for each impacted Nuveen fund?

This distribution is only related to two Nuveen funds: the Nuveen Equity Long/Short Fund and the now-closed Nuveen Equity Market Neutral Fund

• The Error Period for the Nuveen Equity Long Short Fund was February 27, 2020 to June 28, 2023.
• The Error Period for the Nuveen Equity Market Neutral Fund was February 19, 2021 and March 23, 2021 to June 25, 2021.

3. Why did I receive this amount?

Your distribution amount is based on transactions processed in the Nuveen Equity Long/Short Fund and/or the now-closed Nuveen Equity Market Neutral Fund during the applicable Error Period for each fund.

4. When did the Nuveen Equity Market Neutral Fund close?

The Nuveen Equity Market Neutral Fund closed on June 25, 2021.

5. How long do I have to cash the check?

Original distribution checks must be negotiated within 90 days of the check date. If your check was a replacement check, it must be negotiated within 30 days of the check date. It is important you cash the check as soon as possible to ensure you receive the payment allocated to you from this reimbursement. Checks WILL NOT be honored if they are not negotiated within the applicable number of days listed on the check.

6. What are the tax ramifications of this reimbursement payment?

We cannot provide you with tax advice. However, you will receive a Form 1099-MISC mailed to you in January 2025 for Tax Year 2024.

You should consult with your financial advisor or tax professional prior to cashing this check to determine the potential tax consequences and appropriate tax treatment for your particular situation.

7. What if I don't receive a check but I believe I should?
What do I need to do if I disagree with the amount of the reimbursement check I received?

The payment amounts have been approved by Nuveen. If you believe you should have received a check and did not, or if you disagree with the reimbursement amount you did receive, please send a letter along with any applicable documents to the following address:

You may also send an e-mail to [email protected] or fax your letter and documents to (816) 374-7427.

Disputes relating to payments will be reviewed in consultation with Nuveen. Please note that Nuveen is not required to make payment to clients where the calculated payment amount is less than $25.00.

8. Will I receive one check or multiple checks?

If the payment amount is above the de minimus $25.00 threshold, you will receive a separate check for each in-scope Nuveen account.

9. How can I contact Nuveen?

For questions specifically about this reimbursement, use the same phone number you used to contact us, which is (844) 249-2084. For questions about your accounts held with Nuveen, please contact (800) 257-8787.

10. My check(s) has been lost/destroyed. What should I do?

If you would like a replacement check to be issued, please note that once you confirm the replacement check request with us and we place a stop payment on the original check, it will no longer be valid. Presenting a check that has been stopped may result in a service fee charge imposed by your own bank to your bank account. Neither Nuveen nor the administrator are responsible for any charges incurred as a result.

It will take approximately 7 to 14 business days before you will receive the replacement check. Note you will have 30 days to negotiate the check; otherwise you may no longer be entitled to the proceeds.
