Nuveen Updates Management on Eight Closed-End Funds
Eight Nuveen closed-end funds sub-advised by Symphony Asset Management announced portfolio management updates as part
of an orderly leadership succession in which Gunther Stein has stepped down as Chief Investment Officer and Chief
Executive Officer at Symphony Asset Management.
Symphony’s mandate for each fund will continue to be managed by the Symphony portfolio managers listed below who currently have
investment management responsibility for these strategies. Mr. Stein, who has ceased all portfolio management activities but will
remain at Symphony as Chairman through year end 2018, stressed that the investment philosophy, approach and day-to-day
management of each mandate will remain unchanged.
“Symphony will continue to manage these mandates as we always have, through a team-based approach to rigorous fundamental

portfolio outcomes,” said Mr. Stein. “The PMs now assuming sole responsibility for these funds have worked closely with me for over
15 years in driving all portfolio decisions.”
