Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund (JCE) in our archive over the last 12 months, newest first, and each one links through to the document itself with the summary and the scores our analysis gives it.
A DEF 14A covers the proxy statement, with executive pay and the shareholder votes, so if you follow JCE and want that one kind of document rather than the whole filing history, this is the page to keep. The company's other filings, of every form, are on the full JCE filings page.
The Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund and related Nuveen closed-end funds are calling virtual-only annual shareholder meetings on April 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central time. Shareholders of record as of February 9, 2026 may vote by mail, phone, internet, or during the webcast.
The main purpose is to elect independent Board Members across 16 Nuveen funds. Common and, where outstanding, preferred shareholders will vote on different board slates, including separate elections for preferred-share-only trustees in several funds. Multi-Market Income shareholders are also being asked to formally elect “holdover” trustees into staggered Class I, II and III terms.
The proxy details quorum requirements, NYSE Rule 452 proportionate voting mechanics for certain preferred share series, and how abstentions and broker non-votes are treated. It also outlines the funds’ unitary independent board structure, committee framework, director qualifications, and updated compensation levels for Independent Board Members effective January 1, 2025.
