Fund info

Nuveen Bond Index Fund R6 Class is a mutual fund focused on providing broad exposure to the U.S. investment-grade bond market. Its primary objective is to seek total return through a combination of income and capital appreciation by tracking the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a comprehensive benchmark for the domestic bond sector. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in bonds represented within the index, which includes U.S. Treasuries, government-related and corporate bonds, as well as mortgage- and asset-backed securities. As a passively managed intermediate core bond fund, it employs a sampling strategy designed to closely match the characteristics of its benchmark, enabling investors to gain diversified bond market access with low management fees. Established in 2009, the Nuveen Bond Index Fund R6 Class is notable for its low expense ratio and cost-efficient approach, making it particularly suitable for institutional retirement plans and large-scale portfolios seeking stable, core fixed-income exposure in their asset allocation strategies. The fund pays dividends monthly, and its credit quality and interest rate sensitivity are characterized as medium to moderate, reflecting the broad risk profile of the investment-grade bond universe.
