The level distribution policy is intended to provide shareholders with stable, but not guaranteed, cash flow, independent of the amount or timing of income earned or capital gains realized by a Fund. Each Fund intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net investment income through its regular monthly distribution and to distribute realized capital gains at least annually.

In addition, in any monthly period, in order to maintain its level distribution amount, each Fund may pay out more or less than its net investment income during the period. As a result, distribution sources may include net investment income, realized gains and return of capital. If a Fund’s distribution includes anything other than net investment income, the Fund will provide a notice of its best estimate of the distribution sources at that time, which may be viewed at www.nuveen.com/CEFdistributions. These estimates may not match the final tax characterization (for the full year’s distributions) contained in shareholders’ 1099-DIV forms delivered after the end of the calendar year.

Each Fund’s ability to maintain a level distribution amount will depend on a number of factors, including the amount and stability of investment income earned by the Fund, underlying market conditions, and the Fund’s expenses, including expenses associated with the Fund’s use of leverage.

You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the distribution or from the terms of the Level Distribution Policy. A return of capital is a non-taxable distribution of a portion of a Fund’s capital. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect a Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.”
