About Nuveen Preferred & Income Opportunities Fund
The Nuveen Preferred & Income Opportunities Fund (JPC) functions as a closed-ended, balanced investment vehicle, initially launched by Nuveen Investments Inc. Its oversight is a joint effort between Nuveen Fund Advisors LLC, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, and NWQ Investment Management Company, LLC. This fund directs its investments towards public equity and fixed income opportunities within the United States, seeking exposure across a variety of industry sectors. A core component of its investment approach involves preferred shares, common stocks that distribute dividends, and corporate or taxable municipal debt. These debt instruments must carry a credit rating of at least BBB/Baa from agencies such as S&P, Moody's, or Fitch. The fund constructs its holdings by employing fundamental analysis coupled with a top-down security selection methodology. For performance benchmarking, JPC measures itself against the BofA/Merrill Lynch Preferred Stock Fixed Rate Index, as well as a customized JPC Blended Index. This blended index is comprised of 82.5% of the BofA/Merrill Lynch Preferred Stock Fixed Rate Index and 17.5% of the Barclays Capital Securities Index. Established on March 26, 2003, and based in the United States, the fund was formerly recognized as the Nuveen Preferred Income Opportunities Fund.
