About this fund
- Run by Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC. Part of the Nuveen fund family. As of May 31, 2026, from the fund's yearly report. Original document →
- Size: about $115 million of holdings, as of Aug 31, 2026. As of Aug 31, 2026, from the fund's quarterly holdings report. Original document →
- Borrowing: the fund borrows about 39% on top of its own money, as of Aug 31, 2026. Borrowed money makes gains and losses bigger. About 99% of that is money the fund has borrowed by selling preferred shares. As of Aug 31, 2026, from the fund's quarterly holdings report. Original document →
- The fund's own example of what borrowing does: in a year in which the holdings returned -10%, a share would return about -18.6%; at +10%, about +14.3%. As of May 31, 2026, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
- Costs: 0.6% a year in management fees; 3.5% a year in total, including interest on borrowed money. Fiscal year ended May 31, 2026.
As of May 31, 2026, from the fund's yearly report. Original document →
Among the 76 funds we follow that invest in tax-free municipal bonds, 28 charge a lower management fee and 52 charge less in total, at their last yearly reports. Both numbers are measured against the fund's own money, not the money it borrows on top, so a fund that borrows more shows higher costs on both counts. - The fund's own cost example: $1,000 invested costs about $44 in the first year and about $379 over 10 years, assuming the holdings return 5% a year. As of May 31, 2026, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
- Payouts: last fiscal year (ended May 31, 2026) the fund paid $0.79 a share. $0.41 of that was income; $0.38 was your own money back, not income. Most funds announce their monthly or quarterly payout on their own website, not in a filing with the regulator, so a cut or a raise there does not show up here until the next yearly report. A few funds do file a notice about a fixed payout; those appear under What happened, and when. As of May 31, 2026, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
- Value of holdings per share at the last fiscal year end (May 31, 2026): $11.18. The shares traded at $12.76, about 14.1% above that.
As of May 31, 2026, from the fund's yearly report. Original document →
Over the last two years the gap (a "discount" when the price is below the value) ranged from 12% below to 19.8% above. As of May 31, 2026, from the fund's annual report. Original document → - How the holdings did: down 1.7% over the last three months we have (June-Aug 2026), before the share price is taken into account. As of Aug 31, 2026, from the fund's quarterly holdings report. Original document →
- First reported to the regulator in 1995.

- Of that, your own money back rather than income: $0.38 in the year ended May 31, 2026; $0.47 in the year ended May 31, 2025; $0.04 in the year ended May 31, 2024.As of May 31, 2026, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
- Costs, including interest on borrowed money: 3.45% a year in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026; 3.85% a year in the year ended May 31, 2025; 4.04% a year in the year ended May 31, 2024.As of May 31, 2026, from the fund's annual report. Original document →

- Borrowing: about 40% on top of its own money at May 31, 2026; 43% at May 31, 2025; 40% at May 31, 2024. From the fund's quarterly holdings reports. Original documents: May 31, 2026 →, May 31, 2025 →, May 31, 2024 →.

What these lines mean: a payout that is your own money back, what a fund costs, borrowing.
What a holder made
- The year ended May 31, 2026: the shares returned +13.1%, counting payouts; the holdings +9.6%. The holdings figure is what the fund's investments earned, before the share price is taken into account. As of May 31, 2026, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
- The year ended May 31, 2025: the shares returned +23%, counting payouts; the holdings -2.2%. As of May 31, 2025, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
- The year ended May 31, 2024: the shares returned +6.6%, counting payouts; the holdings +2.3%. As of May 31, 2024, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
- The year ended May 31, 2023: the shares returned -12.6%, counting payouts; the holdings -3.1%. As of May 31, 2023, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
- The year ended May 31, 2022: the shares returned -15.1%, counting payouts; the holdings -12.8%. As of May 31, 2022, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
- Those five years together: the shares returned +10%. $10,000 of shares bought at the start (June 1, 2021) would have become about $11,000 by May 31, 2026, with every payout counted, before tax. As of May 31, 2026, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
- The holdings over the last twelve months we have, to Aug 31, 2026: +7.5%. The quarterly reports carry no share price, so this is the holdings alone. As of Aug 31, 2026, from the fund's quarterly holdings report. Original document →
- Of the 43 funds that invest in tax-free municipal bonds with a fiscal year ending within six months of this one, 8 reported a higher share return for that year and 34 a lower one. As of May 31, 2026, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
- A past year says nothing about the next one. All figures are the fund's own, from its reports to the regulator.
Why the shares and the holdings can differ: the gap between price and value. Why payouts count: a payout that is your own money back.
