Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund filings document the closed-end fund's proxy and governance record. The fund's Schedule 14A materials cover annual meeting notices, shareholder voting matters, registrant filing status, and governance disclosures for the Nuveen fund structure.
JRI's regulatory documents also provide formal context for common-shareholder actions, Board oversight, and capital-structure matters that affect a listed closed-end fund, including disclosures tied to fund meetings and shareholder approvals.
Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund (JRI) is conducting a transferable rights offering for up to 7,000,000 new common shares, with the potential to issue up to an additional 1,750,000 shares through oversubscription, to raise fresh capital for investment. Existing shareholders of record on February 6, 2026 receive one Right per share and need four Rights to buy one new share. The subscription price will be set at 95% of the market price over the five trading days ending on March 9, 2026, but not below 90% of net asset value on that date. Based on an estimated subscription price of $12.99 and full take-up of the primary 7,000,000 shares, the Fund projects gross proceeds of about $90.93 million, with all offering expenses of roughly $400,000 paid by Nuveen Fund Advisors rather than the Fund. The Rights are listed on the NYSE under “JRI RT” and may be traded until shortly before expiration, and shareholders who do not participate may face dilution in ownership and net asset value per share.
Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund is registering up to 12,300,000 Securities, which may consist of common shares, preferred shares, and/or rights to purchase common shares, to be offered on an immediate, continuous or delayed basis. The closed-end fund seeks high current income and long-term capital appreciation, invests in real assets, and uses leverage through borrowings to enhance returns, which also increases risk. Common shares trade on the NYSE under the symbol JRI and on January 13, 2026, closed at $13.82 versus a net asset value of $13.56, a 1.92% premium. As of that date, the fund had 27,448,277 common shares outstanding and net assets of $372,305,531. Total annual expenses attributable to common shareholders are 3.97% of average net assets, including a 1.42% management fee and 2.38% interest and related expenses. The fund pays regular monthly distributions, which may include return of capital, and has a history of both premiums and discounts to NAV.
