Nuveen Quant Small Cap Equity Fund R6 Class

The Fund seeks a favorable long-term total return, mainly through capital appreciation, primarily from equity securities of smaller domestic companies. It normally invests at least 80% of its assets in small-cap equity securities across a wide range of sectors, growth rates and valuations that management believes appear to have favorable prospects for significant long-term capital appreciation. Management employs proprietary quantitative models that typically weigh many different variables, including the valuation of a stock versus the market or its peers, future earnings and sustainable growth prospects, and the price and volume trends of the stock. The Fund seeks to generate a favorable long-term return while also managing its relative risk versus the index.
