Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Nuveen New Jersey Quality Municipal Income Fund (NXJ) 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 NXJ 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 NXJ filings page.
Nuveen New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Missouri municipal funds are asking shareholders to approve mergers into Nuveen Municipal High Income Opportunity Fund and to elect board members. Each Target Fund would combine with a subsidiary of the Acquiring Fund, and common and preferred shares would convert into newly issued Acquiring Fund shares.
Boards cite potential benefits for common shareholders such as higher net earnings from greater use of lower rated bonds, a larger, nationally diversified portfolio, better trading liquidity, and in one case lower operating expenses. New Jersey and Pennsylvania funds expect somewhat higher operating expenses but a broader mandate. All Target Fund shareholders would lose their state income tax exemption because the combined fund is national, and credit risk would increase due to higher permitted allocations to lower rated securities.
Preferred holders would receive new preferred shares on a one‑for‑one basis with substantially similar terms, but without state tax gross‑up features. The mergers are intended to qualify as tax‑free reorganizations, and the adviser will waive part of its fee for six months after closing. Meetings are scheduled in Chicago, with an expected merger date around February 9, 2026, if all approvals and conditions are met.
