Fund info

Nuveen Core Impact Bond Fund Retirement Class is an actively managed mutual fund specializing in investment-grade U.S. fixed-income securities. Its primary objective is to provide total return through income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in a diverse array of bonds, including U.S. government securities, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed, and other asset-backed securities that collectively represent broad exposure to core fixed-income markets. Distinctively, the fund integrates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into its investment process, selecting securities that either demonstrate strong ESG practices or offer direct, measurable positive social and environmental impact. Targeted toward retirement accounts, this share class emphasizes both steady income—distributed monthly—and portfolio stability, making it appealing in long-term, risk-conscious investment strategies. With over 1,000 holdings and several billion dollars in assets, the fund plays a significant role in the U.S. intermediate core bond category, offering investors disciplined ESG-aware fixed-income exposure without compromising on diversification or credit quality.
