Recently, Nuveen Funds identified an isolated cash management issue that yielded excess interest expense in two Nuveen funds - the Nuveen Equity Long/Short Fund (“Nuveen ELS Fund”) and the now-closed Nuveen Equity Market Neutral Fund (“Nuveen EMN Fund”). As a result, Nuveen Funds took the following actions:
- On June 29, 2023, Nuveen contributed an average payment of $1.53 per share, across share classes, to the Nuveen Equity Long/Short Fund.
- Investors who redeemed or exchanged out from the Nuveen ELS Fund or the Nuveen EMN Fund during a specific time period (“Error Period” - see below) received less proceeds than they were entitled to as a result of this isolated issue. The reimbursement payment dated August 16, 2024, reflects these additional proceeds, with interest.
Error Period:
Nuveen ELS Fund: February 27, 2020, to June 28, 2023
Nuveen EMN Fund: February 19, 2021, and March 23, 2021 - June 25, 2021 (fund liquidation date)
