Nuveen Multi-Asset Income Fund Announces Update to Portfolio Management Team

Key Terms

mortgage-backed securities financial

A mortgage-backed security is an investment made by pooling many home loans and selling the right to the borrowers’ monthly payments to investors, so you receive a stream of principal and interest much like collecting payments on a bundle of IOUs. It matters to investors because it provides regular income but carries risks from homeowners missing payments or paying off loans early, and its value moves with interest rates and housing market conditions.

high yield financial

High yield describes an investment that offers a higher-than-average return, usually in the form of interest or dividends, because it carries greater risk of loss or default. Investors pay attention to high-yield opportunities like they would to a higher-paying job that comes with tougher conditions: they can boost income but require careful evaluation of the extra risk and the issuer’s ability to make promised payments.

leveraged finance financial

Leveraged finance is the use of large amounts of borrowed money, often through high-yield bonds or loans, to fund big moves like buyouts, acquisitions, or major restructuring. It matters to investors because the higher borrowing raises a company’s fixed payments and default risk — similar to a person taking a big mortgage to buy a house — which can amplify both potential returns and losses and influence a firm’s stock and bond safety.

structured products financial

Structured products are custom-made investment packages that combine familiar assets (like stocks or bonds) with contracts whose payouts depend on specific market outcomes, creating a tailored payoff profile — for example extra upside if an index rises or partial protection if it falls. They matter to investors because they can offer bespoke risk-return tradeoffs or capital protection, but carry issuer credit risk, added fees and complexity, and can be hard to value or sell quickly.

closed-end funds financial

A closed-end fund is an investment pool that raises a fixed amount of money by issuing a set number of shares, which then trade on an exchange like stocks. Unlike bank-style mutual funds that buy or sell shares on demand, its market price can sit above or below the fund’s per-share value of holdings (like a used-car market price versus the sticker price), so investors should watch both the traded price and the underlying asset value for potential bargains or risks.

cfa charter holder financial

A CFA charter holder is a finance professional who earned the Chartered Financial Analyst credential from the CFA Institute by passing a series of rigorous exams, meeting work-experience and ethics requirements. For investors, this credential signals deep training in investment analysis, portfolio management and ethical standards — like a medical board certification for doctors — which can increase trust that financial advice or portfolio decisions follow recognized professional practices.

financial risk manager financial

A financial risk manager is a professional responsible for spotting, measuring and limiting the ways a company can lose money, like a safety inspector who checks a building for weak spots before a storm. They build rules and tools to reduce surprises from market swings, credit problems or operational failures, and their work matters to investors because stronger risk controls tend to protect company value and make future cash flows more predictable.

assets under management financial

Assets under management (AUM) is the total value of all the investments that a financial company or fund is responsible for overseeing on behalf of its clients. It’s like a big bucket that shows how much money the firm is managing for people or organizations. A higher AUM often indicates a larger, more trusted company, and it can influence how much money they earn and the services they can offer.

Important information on risk

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. All investments carry a certain degree of risk, including the possible loss of principal, and there is no assurance that an investment will provide positive performance over any period of time. Certain products and services may not be available to all entities or persons. There is no guarantee that investment objectives will be achieved.

Closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount from net asset value (NAV). At any point in time, including when sold, shares may be worth more or less than the purchase price or the net asset value, even after considering the reinvestment of fund distributions. It is important to consider the objectives, risks, charges and expenses of any fund before investing.
