SEMI-ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2023

The Nuveen S&P 500 Buy-Write Income Fund (BXMX), Nuveen Dow 30SM Dynamic Overwrite Fund (DIAX), Nuveen S&P 500 Dynamic Overwrite Fund (SPXX), Nuveen Nasdaq 100 Dynamic Overwrite Fund (QQQX) and Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund (JCE) seek to offer attractive cash flow to their shareholders, by converting the expected long-term total return potential of the Funds’ portfolio of investments into regular quarterly distributions. Following is a discussion of the Managed Distribution Policy the Funds use to achieve this.

Each Fund pays quarterly common share distributions that seek to convert the Fund’s expected long-term total return potential into regular cash flow. As a result, the Funds’ regular common share distributions (presently $0.2365, $0.2867, $0.2940, $0.4200, $0.3200 per share, respectively) may be derived from a variety of sources, including:

· Net investment income consisting of regular interest and dividends

· Realized capital gains or,

· Possibly, returns of capital representing in certain cases unrealized capital appreciation.

Such distributions are sometimes referred to as “managed distributions.” Each Fund seeks to establish a distribution rate that roughly corresponds to the Adviser’s projections of the total return that could reasonably be expected to be generated by each Fund over an extended period of time. The Adviser may consider many factors when making such projections, including, but not limited to, long-term historical returns for the asset classes in which each Fund invests. As portfolio and market conditions change, the distribution amount and distribution rate on the Common Shares under the Funds’ Managed Distribution Policy could change.

When it pays a distribution, each Fund provides holders of its Common Shares a notice of the estimated sources of the Fund’s distributions (i.e., what percentage of the distributions is estimated to constitute ordinary income, short-term capital gains, long-term capital gains, and/or a non-taxable return of capital) on a year-to-date basis. It does this by posting the notice on its website (www.nuveen.com/cef), and by sending it in written form.

You should not draw any conclusions about the Funds’ investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Funds’ Managed Distribution Policy. The Funds’ actual financial performance will likely vary from month-to-month and from year-to-year, and there may be extended periods when the distribution rate will exceed the Funds’ actual total returns. The Managed Distribution Policy provides that the Board may amend or terminate the Policy at any time without prior notice to Fund shareholders. There are presently no reasonably foreseeable circumstances that might cause each Fund to terminate its Managed Distribution Policy.

to Shareholders


		Dear Shareholders,
		Financial markets spent the past year focused on the direction of inflation and whether policy makers would be able to deliver a soft landing in their economies. After more than a year and a half of interest rate increases by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) and other central banks, financial conditions have tightened and inflation rates have cooled considerably. The Fed increased the target fed funds rate from near zero in March 2022 to a range of 5.25% to 5.50% at its latest increase in July 2023, then left the rate unchanged through January 2024. At its December 2023 policy meeting, the Fed acknowledged the fed funds rate may have reached its peak, and then in January 2024 removed the suggestion that another hike was possible. But current inflation rates remain above central banks’ targets, and the trajectory from here is difficult to predict given that monetary policy acts on the economy with long and variable lags.
		Surprisingly, economies were relatively resilient for much of 2023. The “most predicted recession” did not materialize in the U.S. during 2023, while U.K. and European economic growth had begun to show signs of stagnation or decline in the second half of the year. U.S. gross domestic product rose 3.3% in the fourth quarter of 2023, slower than 4.9% in the third quarter but still ahead of 2.1% in the second quarter and 2.0% in the first quarter. For 2023 overall, GDP grew 2.5% (from the 2022 annual level to the 2023 annual level), compared to 1.9% in 2022. Much of the growth was driven by a relatively strong jobs market, which kept consumer sentiment and spending elevated despite long-term interest rates nearing multi-year highs, a series of U.S. regional bank failures and shocks from flaring geopolitical tensions.

		While central banks are likely nearing the end of this interest rate hiking cycle, there are still upside risks to inflation and downside risks to the economy. Some labor market and consumer indicators are softening. Government funding and deficits remain a concern, especially as the U.S. election year gets underway. The markets will continue to try to anticipate monetary policy shifts as the Fed evaluates incoming data and adjusts its rate setting activity on a meeting-by-meeting basis. Geopolitical risks – from relations with China, to wars in Europe and the Middle East – also expand the range of outcomes from economies and markets around the world. All these uncertainties, and others, will remain sources of short-term market volatility. In this environment, Nuveen remains committed to filtering the market noise for investable opportunities that ultimately serve long-term investment objectives. Maintaining a long-term perspective is also important for investors, and we encourage you to review your time horizon, risk tolerance and investment goals with your financial professional.

		On behalf of the other members of the Nuveen Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.

For more information on the Funds’ investment objectives and policies, please refer to the Shareholder Update section at the end of the report.

What factors affected the U.S. economy and financial markets during the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2023?

The U.S. economy performed better than expected despite persistent inflationary pressure and rising interest rates during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2023. Gross domestic product rose at an annualized rate of 3.3% in the fourth quarter of 2023, after sharply accelerating to 5.2% (annualized) in third quarter of 2023, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis initial estimate. For the year as a whole, GDP was up 2.5% (from the 2022 annual level to the 2023 annual level), compared with an increase of 1.9% in 2022. During the reporting period, price pressures eased in comparison to 2022 given normalization in supply chains, falling energy prices and aggressive measures by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) and other global central banks to tighten financial conditions and slow demand in their economies. Nevertheless, during the reporting period inflation levels remained higher than central banks’ target levels.

The Fed raised its target fed funds rate four times during the reporting period, bringing it to a range of 5.25% to 5.50% as of July 2023 and voting to hold it at that level at its remaining meetings in 2023. During the beginning of the reporting period, the Fed’s activity led to significant volatility in bond and stock markets, given the uncertainty of how rising interest rates would affect the economy. One of the most highly visible impacts occurred in the U.S. regional banking sector in March 2023, when Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, First Republic Bank and Silvergate Bank failed. In the same month, Swiss bank UBS agreed to buy Credit Suisse, which was considered vulnerable in the current environment. The Fed’s monetary tightening policy also contributed to an increase in the U.S. dollar’s value relative to major world currencies, which acts as a headwind to the profits of international companies and U.S. domestic companies with overseas earnings.

During the reporting period, elevated inflation and higher borrowing costs weighed on some segments of the economy, including the real estate market. Consumer spending, however, has remained more resilient than expected, in part because of a still-strong labor market, another key gauge of the economy’s health. As of December 2023, the unemployment rate was 3.7%, near its pre-pandemic low, with monthly job growth continuing to moderate. The strong labor market and wage gains helped the U.S. economy during the reporting period, even as the Fed sought to soften job growth to help curb inflation pressures.

During the reporting period, investors also continued to monitor government funding and deficits. The U.S. government avoided a default scenario after approving an increase to the debt ceiling limit in June 2023. At the same time, the potential for a government shutdown loomed but was ultimately avoided with funding resolutions passed in September and November 2023. Notably, in August 2023, ratings agency Fitch downgraded U.S. debt from AAA to AA+ based on concerns about the U.S.’s growing fiscal debt and reduced confidence in fiscal management.

Nuveen S&P 500 Buy-Write Income Fund (BXMX)

What key strategies were used to manage the Fund during the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2023?

BXMX seeks attractive total return with less volatility than the S&P 500^® Index by investing in an equity portfolio that seeks to substantially replicate the price movements of the S&P 500^® Index and by selling index call options covering approximately 100% of the Fund’s equity portfolio value with a goal of enhancing the portfolio’s risk-adjusted returns.

The writing of index call options on a broad equity index, while investing in a portfolio of equities, has the potential to enhance BXMX’s risk-adjusted returns while exposing the Fund to less risk than unhedged equity investments. Hedging the equity portfolio with index call options may limit the Fund’s participation in market advances in exchange for the cash premium received for the written index call options. Conversely, market declines are typically buffered by the amount of the cash premium received by the Fund. In flat or declining markets, BXMX’s call option premium can potentially enhance total return relative to the S&P 500^® Index. However, in rising markets, the call options may reduce the Fund’s total return relative to the S&P 500^® Index.

During the reporting period, the portfolio management team focused on opportunities in the written index call option portfolio. The portfolio management team took advantage of elevated implied volatility levels that drove the availability of above-average premiums. These premiums helped to offset a material portion of losses during equity market declines and offered a high level of market participation during periods of strength.

How did the Fund perform during the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2023?

For the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2023, BXMX significantly outperformed the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) S&P 500^® BuyWrite Index (BXM^SM). For purposes of this Performance Commentary, references to relative performance are in comparison to the BXM^SM.

The Fund’s options portfolio outperformed the options component of the BXM^SM during the reporting period. The portfolio management team’s active adjustments to the Fund’s index call option portfolio were particularly beneficial during periods when the equity market outperformed the BXM^SM. Specifically, the Fund’s options portfolio significantly outperformed the BXM^SM during the equity market’s rapid market advance from mid-March to the end of July 2023 and outperformed the BXM^SM to a lesser extent during the equity market advance from the end of October through December 2023. Additionally, the Fund’s options portfolio outperformed the BXM^SM during one of the period’s equity market declines from the end of July through the end of October 2023. However, the options portfolio underperformed the BXM^SM during the other market decline from early February through mid-March 2023. The risk level of the Fund, as measured by its standard deviation of daily return, was much lower than that of the U.S. equity market and slightly above the BXM^SM over the reporting period.

The Fund’s equity portfolio also outperformed the equity component of the BXM^SM during the reporting period. Key drivers of the equity portfolio’s outperformance included stock selection in the information technology, consumer staples and communication services sectors. However, the role of the equity portfolio is to support the option strategy by closely tracking the S&P 500^® Index, so enhancing its return through fundamental stock selection or sector allocation is not a management objective. Relative performance of the equity portfolio may fluctuate during the short term but is expected to be in line with the S&P 500^® Index over longer timeframes.

Nuveen Dow 30^SM Dynamic Overwrite Fund (DIAX)

What key strategies were used to manage the Fund during the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2023?

DIAX seeks attractive total return with less volatility than the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJIA) by investing in an equity portfolio that seeks to substantially replicate the price movements of the DJIA, as well as selling call options on 35% to 75% of the notional value of the Fund’s equity portfolio, with a long-term target of 55% overwrite in an effort to enhance the Fund’s risk-adjusted returns. The portfolio management team uses its proprietary view of the market’s return and volatility profile to dynamically adjust the option overwrite percentage and other factors.


Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)

than the full option overwrite approach, while still offering a measure of downside risk management. The Fund currently expects to carry out its principal investment strategy by emphasizing options on broad-based indexes, individual stocks in the DJIA, and options on custom baskets of stocks, in addition to exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The Fund also has the opportunity to utilize call spread strategies and sell put options on a portion of the underlying equity portfolio.

During the reporting period, the portfolio management team varied the core option overwrite level between 39% and 67%. The average option overwrite level during the reporting period, which consisted primarily of calls written on the S&P 500^® Index, was in line with its long-term target.

How did the Fund perform during the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2023?

For the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2023, DIAX underperformed the DIAX Blended Benchmark, which is a blended return consisting of 1) 55% Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) DJIA BuyWrite Index (BXD^SM) and 2) 45% Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJIA). For purposes of this Performance Commentary, references to relative performance are in comparison to the DIAX Blended Benchmark.

The primary detractor from the Fund’s relative performance was call options sold on the S&P 500^® Index. The BXD^SM, which is a component of the DIAX Blended Benchmark, sells index call options on the DJIA. Because of its investment policies, the Fund is precluded from selling index call options on the DJIA and instead primarily sold call options on the S&P 500^® Index. This combination detracted from the Fund’s relative performance because the S&P 500^® Index significantly outperformed the DJIA for the reporting period.

Partially offsetting the Fund’s underperformance was the timing of overwrite levels in the Fund’s options portfolio. During the market’s strong advances in January, June and November 2023, the portfolio management team opportunistically lowered the Fund’s level of call selling, which benefited performance. However, this positive contribution was slightly offset by not adding enough options during the September 2023 market pullback.

The portfolio management team was able to generate additional income from selling put options on the S&P 500^® Index, taking advantage of the index’s generally upward trajectory over the year. In addition, the portfolio management team sold calls and bought puts on the Russell 2000 Index, bought and sold single name call options, bought puts and calls on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) Volatility Index (the VIX^®), and bought and sold calls and puts on several ETFs, which had a negligible impact on relative performance in 2023.

Nuveen S&P 500 Dynamic Overwrite Fund (SPXX)

What key strategies were used to manage the Fund during the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2023?

SPXX seeks attractive total return with less volatility than the S&P 500^® Index by investing in an equity portfolio that seeks to substantially replicate the price movements of the S&P 500^® Index, as well as selling call options on 35% to 75% of the notional value of the Fund’s equity portfolio, with a long-run target of 55% overwrite in an effort to enhance the Fund’s risk-adjusted returns. The portfolio management team uses its proprietary view of the market’s return and volatility profile to dynamically adjust the option overwrite percentage and other factors. The strategy will consider the Fund’s tax position and employ techniques to improve after-tax shareholder outcomes.

Generally, if the portfolio management team expects the equity market to appreciate, the option overwrite percentage will be reduced to offer more potential upside capture. Likewise, if the portfolio management team expects equity markets to be flat or to decline, the option overwrite percentage may be increased, thus managing the Fund to potentially receive additional cash flow from higher sales of call options. This dynamic option overwrite approach offers the potential for greater equity market upside capture than the full option overwrite approach, while still offering a measure of downside risk management. The Fund currently expects to emphasize index call options on the S&P 500^® Index and can also employ an expanded range of options including index options on other broad-based indexes and options on custom baskets of stocks, in addition to single name options. The Fund also has the opportunity to utilize call spread strategies and sell put options on a portion of the underlying equity portfolio.

During the reporting period, the portfolio management team varied the core option overwrite level between 39% and 54%. The average option overwrite level during the reporting period, which consisted primarily of calls written on the S&P 500^® Index, was in line with its long-term target.

How did the Fund perform during the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2023?

For the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2023, SPXX performed in line with the SPXX Blended Benchmark, which is a blended return consisting of 1) 55% Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) S&P 500^® BuyWrite Index (BXM^SM) and 2) 45% S&P 500^® Index. For the purposes of this Performance Commentary, references to relative performance are in comparison to the SPXX Blended Benchmark.

The Fund’s equity portfolio outperformed the equity component of the SPXX Blended Benchmark over the reporting period. Key drivers of outperformance were stock selection in the financials, consumer staples and communication services sectors. The timing of overwrite levels in the Fund’s options portfolio also contributed to relative results. During the market’s strong advances in January, June and November 2023, the portfolio management team opportunistically lowered the Fund’s level of call selling, which benefited performance. However, this positive contribution was offset by not adding enough options during the September 2023 market pullback. In addition, the portfolio management team sold calls and bought puts on the Russell 2000 Index, sold call and put options on the S&P 500^® Index, bought and sold single name call options, bought puts and calls on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) Volatility Index (the VIX^®), and bought and sold calls and puts on several ETFs, however the impact of these positions on relative performance was minimal.

Nuveen Nasdaq 100 Dynamic Overwrite Fund (QQQX)

What key strategies were used to manage the Fund during the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2023?

QQQX seeks attractive total return with less volatility than the Nasdaq 100^® Index by investing in an equity portfolio that seeks to substantially replicate the price movements of the Nasdaq 100^® Index, as well as selling call options on 35% to 75% of the notional value of the Fund’s equity portfolio, with a long-run target of 55% in an effort to enhance the Fund’s risk-adjusted returns. The portfolio management team uses its proprietary view of the market’s return and volatility profile to dynamically adjust the option overwrite percentage and other factors. The strategy will consider the Fund’s tax position and employ techniques to improve after-tax shareholder outcomes.

Generally, if the portfolio management team expects the equity market to appreciate, the overwrite percentage will be reduced to offer more potential upside capture. Likewise, if the portfolio management team expects equity markets to be flat or to decline, the overwrite percentage may be increased, thus managing the Fund to potentially receive additional cash flow from higher sales of call options. This dynamic option overwrite approach offers potential for greater equity market upside capture than the full overwrite approach, while still offering a measure of downside risk management. The Fund, in carrying out its principal options strategy, expects to primarily write index call options on the Nasdaq 100^® Index and other broad-based indexes and can also write call options on a variety of other equity market indexes and options on custom baskets of stocks, in addition to single name options. The Fund also has the opportunity to utilize call spread strategies and sell put options on a portion of the underlying equity portfolio.

During the reporting period, the portfolio management team varied the core option overwrite level between 38% and 66%. The average option overwrite during the reporting period, which consisted primarily of calls written on the Nasdaq 100^® Index, was in line with its long-term target.

How did the Fund perform during the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2023?

For the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2023, QQQX underperformed the QQQX Blended Benchmark, which is a blended return consisting of 1) 55% Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) Nasdaq 100 BuyWrite Index (BXN^SM) and 2) 45% Nasdaq 100^® Index. For the purposes of this Performance Commentary, references to relative performance are in comparison to the QQQX Blended Benchmark.

The primary detractor from the Fund’s relative performance was the equity portfolio’s return, driven by unfavorable stock selection in the information technology sector. The information technology sector was not only the strongest performing sector in the Nasdaq 100^® Index, but its performance was narrowly led by a small group of mega-cap and artificial intelligence related stocks during the reporting period. Therefore, underweight positions in NVIDIA Corp, Broadcom Inc., and CrowdStrike Holdings Inc., and lack of exposure to Adobe Incorporated detracted from relative performance.

The Fund’s underperformance was partially offset by the timing of overwrite levels in the Fund’s options portfolio. During the market’s strong advances in January, June and November 2023, the portfolio management team opportunistically lowered the

Fund’s level of call selling, which benefited performance. However, this positive contribution was slightly offset by not adding enough options during the September 2023 market pullback.

In addition to selling calls on the Nasdaq 100^® Index, the portfolio management team also sold calls and bought puts on the Russell 2000 Index, sold call and put options on the S&P 500^® Index, bought and sold single name call options, bought puts and calls on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) Volatility Index (the VIX^®), and bought and sold calls and puts on several ETFs; however, the impact of these positions on relative performance was minimal.

Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund (JCE)

What key strategies were used to manage the Fund during the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2023?

JCE seeks to provide an attractive level of total return, primarily through long-term capital appreciation and secondarily through income and gains. The Fund invests in large capitalization common stocks, using a proprietary quantitative process designed to provide the potential for long-term outperformance. The Fund also sells call options with a notional value of up to 50% of the Fund’s equity portfolio in seeking to enhance risk-adjusted performance relative to an all-equity portfolio. The portfolio management team uses its proprietary view of the market’s return and volatility profile to dynamically adjust the option overwrite percentage and other factors.

How did the Fund perform during the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2023?

For the twelve-month reporting period ended December 31, 2023, JCE outperformed the JCE Blended Benchmark, which is a blend of returns consisting of 1) 50% S&P 500^® Index and 2) 50% Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) S&P 500^® BuyWrite Index (BXM^SM). For purposes of this Performance Commentary, references to relative performance are in comparison to the JCE Blended Benchmark.

The primary contributor to relative performance was the timing of overwrite levels in the Fund’s options portfolio. During the market’s strong advances in January, June and November 2023, the portfolio management team opportunistically lowered the Fund’s level of call selling, which benefited performance. However, this positive contribution was slightly offset by not adding enough options during the September 2023 market pullback. Also, the portfolio management team was able to generate additional income from selling put options on the S&P 500^® Index, taking advantage of the index’s generally upward trajectory. In addition, the portfolio management team bought and sold single name options, which added modestly to performance in 2023.

The Fund’s outperformance was partially offset by the equity portfolio’s return, which underperformed the S&P 500^® Index, primarily due to security selection in the health care and information technology and consumer discretionary sectors. Detractors included overweight positions in Pfizer Inc. and Mettler-Toledo International Inc. and underweight positions in NVIDIA Corp, Broadcom Inc., Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and Tesla Inc. As part of the model-driven security selection process, which is designed to select constituents from the S&P 500^® Index and the Russell 1000^® Index, the portfolio management team seeks to minimize tracking error while adhering to tax and concentration rules.

In addition to selling call and put options on the S&P 500^® Index and on single names, the portfolio management team sold calls on the Russell 2000^® Index, bought puts and calls on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) Volatility Index (the VIX^®) and sold calls on several ETFs; however, the impact of these positions on relative performance was minimal.

The following 19(a) Notice presents the Funds’ most current distribution information as of November 30, 2023 as required by certain exempted regulatory relief the Funds have received.

Because the ultimate tax character of your distributions depends on the Funds’ performance for its entire fiscal year (which is the calendar year for the Funds) as well as certain fiscal year-end (FYE) tax adjustments, estimated distribution source information you receive with each distribution may differ from the tax information reported to you on your Funds’ IRS Form 1099 statement.

Each Fund makes regular cash distributions to shareholders of stated dollar amount per share. Subject to approval and oversight by the Board of Trustees, the Fund seeks to maintain a stable distribution level designed to deliver the long-term return potential of each Fund’s investment strategy through regular distributions (a “Managed Distribution Program”). The practice of maintaining a stable distribution level had no material effect on each Fund’s investment strategy during the most recent fiscal period and is not expected to have such an effect in future periods, however, distributions in excess of Fund returns will cause its NAV per share to erode. For additional information, refer to the distribution information section below and in the Notes to Financial Statements herein.

COMMON SHARE DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION – AS OF NOVEMBER 30, 2023

This notice provides shareholders with information regarding fund distributions, as required by current securities laws. You should not draw any conclusions about the Funds’ investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Funds’ Managed Distribution Policy.

The following table provides estimates of the Funds’ distribution sources, reflecting year-to-date cumulative experience through the month-end prior to the latest distribution. The Funds attribute these estimates equally to each regular distribution throughout the year. Consequently, the estimated information as of the specified month-end shown below is for the current distribution, and also represents an updated estimate for all prior months in the year. For all Funds, it is estimated that the Funds have distributed more than their income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of the distributions may be (and is shown below as being estimated to be) a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.”

The amounts and sources of distributions set forth below are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Funds’ investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Each Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. More details about the Funds’ distributions and the basis for these estimates are available on www.nuveen.com/cef.

Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Nuveen S&P 500 Buy-Write Income Fund, Nuveen Dow 30SM Dynamic Overwrite Fund, Nuveen S&P 500 Dynamic Overwrite Fund, Nuveen Nasdaq 100 Dynamic Overwrite Fund and Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Nuveen S&P 500 Buy-Write Income Fund, Nuveen Dow 30SM Dynamic Overwrite Fund, Nuveen S&P 500 Dynamic Overwrite Fund, Nuveen Nasdaq 100 Dynamic Overwrite Fund and Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2023, the related statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2023, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Total Return Based on Common Share NAV is the combination of changes in common share NAV, reinvested dividend income at Common Share NAV and reinvested capital gains distributions at NAV, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending NAV. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund’s market price (and not its NAV), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

Total Return Based on Common Share Price is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

1.	General Information

Fund Information: The funds covered in this report and their corresponding New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or Nasdaq National Market (“Nasdaq”) symbols are as follows (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):

Nuveen S&P 500 Buy-Write Income Fund (BXMX)

Nuveen Dow 30SM Dynamic Overwrite Fund (DIAX)

Nuveen S&P 500 Dynamic Overwrite Fund (SPXX)

Nuveen Nasdaq 100 Dynamic Overwrite Fund (QQQX)

Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund (JCE)

The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as diversified (non-diversified for DIAX and QQQX) closed-end management investment companies. Shares of BXMX, DIAX, SPXX and JCE are traded on the NYSE while shares of QQQX are traded on the Nasdaq. BXMX, DIAX, SPXX, QQQX and JCE were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on July 23, 2004, May 20, 2014, November 11, 2004, May 20, 2014 and January 9, 2007, respectively.

Current Fiscal Period: The end of the reporting period for the Funds is December 31, 2023, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “current fiscal period”).

Investment Adviser and Sub-Adviser: The Funds’ investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC (“Nuveen”). Nuveen is the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA). The Adviser has overall responsibility for management of the Funds, oversees the management of the Funds’ portfolios, manages the Funds’ business affairs and provides certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services, and, if necessary, asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with Gateway Investment Advisers, LLC (“Gateway”), under which Gateway manages BXMX’s investment portfolio and Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“NAM”), a subsidiary of the Adviser, under which NAM manages the investment portfolios of DIAX, SPXX, QQQX and JCE.

Developments Regarding the Funds’ Control Share By-Law: On October 5, 2020, the Funds and certain other closed-end funds in the Nuveen fund complex amended their by-laws. Among other things, the amended by-laws included provisions pursuant to which, in summary, a shareholder who obtains beneficial ownership of common shares in a Control Share Acquisition (as defined in the by-laws) shall have the same voting rights as other common shareholders only to the extent authorized by the other disinterested shareholders (the “Control Share By-Law”). On January 14, 2021, a shareholder of certain Nuveen closed-end funds filed a civil complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “District Court”) against certain Nuveen funds and their trustees, seeking a declaration that such funds’ Control Share By-Laws violate the 1940 Act, rescission of such fund’s Control Share By-Laws and a permanent injunction against such funds applying the Control Share By-Laws. On February 18, 2022, the District Court granted judgment in favor of the plaintiff’s claim for rescission of such funds’ Control Share By-Laws and the plaintiff’s declaratory judgment claim, and declared that such funds’ Control Share By-Laws violate Section 18(i) of the 1940 Act. Following review of the judgment of the District Court, on February 22, 2022, the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”) amended the Fund’s by-laws to provide that the Funds’ Control Share By-Law shall be of no force and effect for so long as the judgment of the District Court is effective and that if the judgment of the District Court is reversed, overturned, vacated, stayed, or otherwise nullified, the Fund’s Control Share By-Law will be automatically reinstated and apply to any beneficial owner of common shares acquired in a Control Share Acquisition, regardless of whether such Control Share Acquisition occurs before or after such reinstatement, for the duration of the stay or upon issuance of the mandate reversing, overturning, vacating or otherwise nullifying the judgment of the District Court. On February 25, 2022, the Board and the Funds appealed the District Court’s decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On November 30, 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit upheld the opinion of the District Court.

2.	Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require the use of estimates made by management and the evaluation of subsequent events. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The net asset value (“NAV”) for financial reporting purposes may differ from the NAV for processing security and shareholder transactions. The NAV for financial reporting purposes includes security and shareholder transactions through the date of the report. Total return is computed based on the NAV used for processing security and shareholder transactions. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds.

Compensation: The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen-advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen-advised funds.

Distributions to Common Shareholders: Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount, character and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

Each Fund makes quarterly cash distributions to shareholders of a stated dollar amount per share. Subject to approval and oversight by the Board, each Fund seeks to maintain a stable distribution level designed to deliver the long-term return potential of each Fund’s investment strategy through regular quarterly distributions (a “Managed Distribution Program”). Total distributions during a calendar year generally will be made from each Fund’s net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized capital gains in the Fund’s portfolio, if any. The portion of distributions paid attributed to net unrealized gains, if any, is distributed from the Fund’s assets and is treated by shareholders as a non-taxable distribution (“return of capital”) for tax purposes. In the event that total distributions during a calendar year exceed a Fund’s total return on NAV, the difference will reduce NAV per share. If a Fund’s total return on NAV exceeds total distributions during a calendar year, the excess will be reflected as an increase in NAV per share. The final determination of the source and character of all distributions paid by a Fund during the fiscal year is made after the end of the fiscal year and is reflected in the financial statements contained in the annual report as of December 31 each year.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation: To the extent that the Funds invest in securities and/or contracts that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Funds will be subject to currency risk, which is the risk that an increase in the U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currency will reduce returns or portfolio value. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Funds’ investments denominated in that currency will lose value because their currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. dollar falls in relative value. Investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars on a spot (i.e. cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market at the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and income denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.

The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the end of each day. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates associated with (i) foreign currency, (ii) investments and (iii) derivatives include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date of the transactions, foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Funds and the amounts actually received are recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from investments and foreign currency transactions” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.

The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in foreign exchange rates associated with (i) investments and (ii) other assets and liabilities are recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of foreign currency translations” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates associated with investments in derivatives are recognized as a component of the respective derivative’s related “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.

Foreign Taxes: The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or foreign currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon the current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which the Funds invest.

Indemnifications: Under the Funds’ organizational documents, their officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Investments and Investment Income: Securities transactions are accounted for as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are based upon the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, when information is available. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date and recorded at fair value. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income also reflects payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest and paydown gains and losses, if any. PIK interest represents income received in the form of securities in lieu of cash. Securities lending income is comprised of fees earned from borrowers and income earned on cash collateral investments.

Netting Agreements: In the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) master agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows each Fund to offset certain securities and derivatives with a specific counterparty, when applicable, as well as any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, each Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the netting agreements, collateral posted to the Funds is held in a segregated account by the Funds’ custodian and/or with respect to those amounts which can be sold or repledged, are presented in the Funds’ Portfolio of Investments or Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The Funds’ investments subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, if any, are further described later in these Notes to Financials.

New Accounting Pronouncement: In March 2020, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The main objective of the new guidance is to provide relief to companies that will be impacted by the expected change in benchmark interest rates, when participating banks will no longer be required to submit London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) quotes by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The new guidance allows companies to, provided the only change to existing contracts are a change to an approved benchmark interest rate, account for modifications as a continuance of the existing contract without additional analysis. For new and existing contracts, the Funds may elect to apply the amendments as of March 12, 2020 through December 31,

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2022. In December 2022, FASB deferred ASU 2022-04 and issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform: Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extends the application of the amendments through December 31, 2024. Management has not yet elected to apply the amendments, is continuously evaluating the potential effect a discontinuation of LIBOR could have on the Funds’ investments and has currently determined that it is unlikely the ASU’s adoption will have a significant impact on the Funds’ financial statements and various filings.

New Accounting Pronouncement: In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03 to clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“Topic 820”). The amendments in ASU 2022-03 affect all entities that have investments in equity securities measured at fair value that are subject to a contractual sale restriction. ASU 2022-03 (1) clarifies the guidance in Topic 820, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of equity security, (2) amends a related illustrative example, and (3) introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2022-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. During the current fiscal period, the Funds adopted the new guidance and there was no material impact to the Funds.

3.	Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements

The Funds’ investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value utilizing valuation methods approved by the Adviser, subject to oversight of the Board. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. U.S. GAAP establishes the three-tier hierarchy which is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect management’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.


Level 1 –		Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 –		Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit spreads, etc.).

Level 3 –		Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major classifications of assets and liabilities measured at fair value follows:

Equity securities and exchange-traded funds listed or traded on a national market or exchange are valued based on their last reported sales price or official closing price of such market or exchange on the valuation date. Foreign equity securities and registered investment companies that trade on a foreign exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on the principal exchange where traded, and converted to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange on the valuation date. For events affecting the value of foreign securities between the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time when the Funds’ net assets are calculated, such securities will be valued at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Adviser, subject to the oversight of the Board. To the extent these securities are actively traded and no valuation adjustments are applied, they are generally classified as Level 1. When valuation adjustments are applied to the most recent last sales price or official closing price, these securities are generally classified as Level 2.

Prices of certain American Depositary Receipts (“ADR”) held by the Funds that trade in the United States are valued based on the last traded price, official closing price, or an evaluated price provided by the pricing services and are generally classified as Level 1 or 2.

Purchased and written options traded and listed on a national market or exchange are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices and are generally classified as Level 1.

Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options are marked-to-market daily based upon a price supplied by a pricing service. OTC options are generally classified as Level 2.

Investments in investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs or share price on the valuation date and are generally classified as Level 1.

Repurchase agreements are valued at contract amount plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. These securities are generally classified as Level 2.

For any portfolio security or derivative for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the Adviser deems the valuations derived using the valuation procedures described above not to reflect fair value, the Adviser will determine a fair value in good faith using alternative procedures approved by the Adviser, subject to the oversight of the Board. As a general principle, the fair value of a security is the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be classified as Level 2; otherwise they would be classified as Level 3.

The following table summarizes the market value of the Funds’ investments as of the end of the reporting period, based on the inputs used to value them:

4.	Portfolio Securities

Repurchase Agreements: In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is each Fund’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the counterparty defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral may be delayed or limited.

The following table presents the repurchase agreements for the Funds that are subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, and the collateral delivered related to those repurchase agreements.

QQQX	Fixed Income Clearing Corporation		1,609,514		1,641,759
JCE	Fixed Income Clearing Corporation		352,017		359,059

Securities Lending: Each Fund may lend securities representing up to one-third of the value of its total assets to broker-dealers, banks, and other institutions in order to generate additional income. When loaning securities, a Fund retains the benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. The loans are continuous, can be recalled at any time, and have no set maturity. The Funds’ custodian, State Street Bank and Trust Company, serves as the securities lending agent (the “Agent”).

When a Fund loans its portfolio securities, it will receive, at the inception of each loan, cash collateral equal to an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. The actual percentage of the cash collateral will vary depending upon the asset type of the loaned securities. Collateral for the loaned securities is invested in a government money market vehicle maintained by the Agent, which is subject to the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The value of the loaned securities and the liability to return the cash collateral received are recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. If the market value of the loaned securities increases, the borrower must furnish additional collateral to the Fund, which is also recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities out on loan are subject to termination at any time at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower is required to return to the Fund securities identical to the securities loaned. During the term of the loan, the Fund bears the market risk with respect to the investment of collateral and the risk that the Agent may default on its contractual obligations to the Fund. The Agent bears the risk that the borrower may default on its obligation to return the loaned securities as the Agent is contractually obligated to indemnify the Fund if at the time of a default by a borrower some or all of the loan securities have not been returned.

Securities lending income recognized by a Fund consists of earnings on invested collateral and lending fees, net of any rebates to the borrower and compensation to the Agent. Such income is recognized on the Statement of Operations.

As of the end of the current reporting period, the total value of the loaned securities and the total value of collateral received were as follows:


Fund	Asset Class out on Loan	Long-Term Investments, at Value		Total Collateral Received

BXMX	Common Stocks		$ 542,055		$ 571,823
DIAX	Exchange-Traded Funds		880,798		910,821

SPXX	Common Stocks		223,228		239,057
	Exchange-Traded Funds		2,630,058		2,694,141

Total			2,853,286		2,933,198

QQQX	Common Stocks		1,418,741		1,542,799

Purchases and Sales: Long-term purchases and sales during the current fiscal period were as follows:


Fund	Non-U.S. Government Purchases		Non-U.S. Government Sales

BXMX	$	220,300,183	$	400,469,923
DIAX		70,893,666		143,885,185
SPXX		59,096,670		96,534,872
QQQX		393,086,804		597,299,756
JCE		217,072,222		239,532,012

The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may have extended settlement periods; interest income is not accrued until settlement date. Any securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. If a Fund has outstanding when-issued/delayed-delivery purchases commitments as of the end of the reporting period, such amounts are recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

5.	Derivative Investments

Each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments. As defined by U.S. GAAP, a derivative is a financial instrument whose value is derived from an underlying security price, foreign exchange rate, interest rate, index of prices or rates, or other variables. Investments in derivatives as of the end of and/or during the current fiscal period, if any, are included within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations, respectively.

Options Transactions: The Funds may purchase (buy) or write (sell) put and call options on specific securities (including groups or “baskets” of specific securities), interest rates, stock indices and/or bond indices (each a “financial instrument”). Options can be settled either directly with the counterparty (over the counter) or through a central clearing house (exchange traded). Call and put options give the holder the right, in return for a premium paid, to purchase or sell, respectively, a financial instrument at a specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option.

When a Fund purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (the premium plus commission) is recognized as an asset on the Statement of Asset and Liabilities. When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recognized as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current value of the written option until the option is exercised or expires or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction. The changes in the value of options purchased and/or written during the fiscal period are recognized as in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statement of Operations. When an option expires, the premiums received or paid are recognized as realized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised or a closing purchase transaction is entered into, the difference between the premium and the amount received or paid in a closing transaction is recognized as a realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations.

The market risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium paid. The Fund, as writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying instrument may be sold (called) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the instrument underlying the written option. There is also the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

During the current fiscal period, BXMX wrote call options on equity indices as per its stated strategy, with the notional amount of these options averaging 99% of the Fund’s assets.

During the current fiscal period, DIAX, SPXX, QQQX and JCE, each wrote call options on equity indices as per its stated dynamic overwriting strategy with the notional amounts of these options ranging from approximately 35-75% of each Fund’s assets. DIAX, SPXX and QQQX also purchased put and call options as part of their overwrite strategy.

The average notional amount of outstanding options purchased during the current fiscal period, was as follows:


Fund	Average Notional Amount of Purchased Options Contracts Outstanding^*

DIAX		$8,979,000
SPXX		2,115,000
QQQX		7,269,000
JCE		743,900

*	The average notional amount is calculated based on the outstanding notional amount of contracts at the beginning of the current fiscal period and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal period.

The average notional amount of outstanding options written during the current fiscal period, was as follows:

Market and Counterparty Credit Risk: In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount.

6.	Fund Shares

Common Shares Equity Shelf Programs and Offering Costs: The following Funds have filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) authorizing each Fund to issue additional common shares through one or more equity shelf programs (“Shelf Offering”), which became effective with the SEC during prior fiscal periods.

Under this Shelf Offering, the Funds, subject to market conditions, may raise additional equity capital by issuing additional common shares from time to time in varying amounts and by different offering methods at a net price at or above each Fund’s NAV per common share. In the event the Fund’s Shelf Offering registration statement is no longer current, the Fund may not issue additional common shares until a post-effective amendment to the registration statement has been filed with the SEC.

Additional authorized common shares, common shares sold and offering proceeds, net of offering costs under each Fund’s Shelf Offering during the Funds’ current and prior fiscal period were as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with their initial shelf registrations are recorded as a prepaid expense and recognized as “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These costs are amortized pro rata as common shares are sold and are recognized as a component of “Proceeds from shelf offering, net of offering costs” on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. Any deferred offering costs remaining after the effectiveness of the initial shelf registration will be expensed. Costs incurred by the Fund to keep the shelf registration current are expensed as incurred and recognized as a component of “Other expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

7.	Income Tax Information

Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Each Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state and local jurisdictions. A Fund’s federal income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three fiscal years after being filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional period of time depending on the jurisdiction. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.

Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing gains and losses on investment transactions. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. As of year end, permanent differences that resulted in reclassifications among the components of net assets relate primarily to distribution reallocations, foreign currency transactions, investments in partnerships, net operating losses, and return of capital and long–term capital gain distributions received from portfolio investments. Temporary and permanent differences have no impact on a Fund’s net assets.

As of year end, the aggregate cost and the net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of all investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:


Fund	Tax Cost		Gross Unrealized Appreciation		Gross Unrealized (Depreciation)			Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
BXMX	$	506,844,858	$	976,451,217	$	(3,861,721	)	$	972,589,496

JCE		168,644,323		47,574,646		(2,493,329	)		45,081,317

For purposes of this disclosure, tax cost generally includes the cost of portfolio investments as well as up-front fees or premiums exchanged on derivatives and any amounts unrealized for income statement reporting but realized income and/or capital gains for tax reporting, if applicable.

8.	Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. Gateway and NAM are compensated for their services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.

Each Fund’s management fee consists of two components – a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within each individual Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables Fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.

The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated according to the following schedules:

The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated by multiplying the current complex-wide fee rate, determined according to the following schedule by the Funds’ daily managed assets:


Complex-Level Eligible Asset Breakpoint Level*	Effective Complex-Level Fee Rate at Breakpoint Level
$55 billion		0.2000	%
$56 billion		0.1996
$57 billion		0.1989
$60 billion		0.1961
$63 billion		0.1931
$66 billion		0.1900
$71 billion		0.1851

$250 billion		0.1469
$300 billion		0.1445

For the complex-level fees, managed assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to certain types of leverage. For these purposes, leverage includes the funds’ use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining managed assets in certain circumstances. The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed assets of all Nuveen open-end and closed-end funds that constitute “eligible assets.” Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen funds or assets in excess of a determined amount (originally $2 billion) added to the Nuveen fund complex in connection with the Adviser’s assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011, but do not include certain assets of certain Nuveen funds that were reorganized into funds advised by an affiliate of the Adviser during the 2019 calendar year. As of December 31, 2023, the complex-level fee for each Fund was as follows:


Fund	Complex-Level Fee

BXMX		0.1602	%

DIAX		0.1602	%

SPXX		0.1602	%

QQQX		0.1602	%

Other Transactions with Affiliates: Each Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other funds or accounts managed by the Sub-Adviser (“Affiliated Entity”) under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board (“cross-trade”). These procedures have been designed to ensure that any cross-trade of securities by the Fund from or to an Affiliated Entity by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment adviser), common officer and/or common trustee complies with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. These transactions are effected at the current market price (as provided by an independent pricing service) without incurring broker commissions.

9.	Inter-Fund Borrowing and Lending

Inter-Fund Borrowing and Lending: The SEC has granted an exemptive order permitting registered open-end and closed-end Nuveen funds to participate in an inter-fund lending facility whereby the Nuveen funds may directly lend to and borrow money from each other for temporary purposes (e.g., to satisfy redemption requests or when a sale of securities “fails,” resulting in an unanticipated cash shortfall) (the “Inter-Fund Program”). The closed-end Nuveen funds, including the Funds covered by this shareholder report, will participate only as lenders, and not as borrowers, in the Inter-Fund Program because such closed-end funds rarely, if ever, need to borrow cash to meet redemptions. The Inter-Fund Program is subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things, the requirements that (1) no fund may borrow or lend money through the Inter-Fund Program unless it receives a more favorable interest rate than is typically available from a bank or other financial institution for a comparable transaction; (2) no fund may borrow on an unsecured basis through the Inter-Fund Program unless the fund’s outstanding borrowings from all sources immediately after the inter-fund borrowing total 10% or less of its total assets; provided that if the borrowing fund has a secured borrowing outstanding from any other lender, including but not limited to another fund, the inter-fund loan must be secured on at least an equal priority basis with at least an equivalent percentage of collateral to loan value; (3) if a fund’s total outstanding borrowings immediately after an inter-fund borrowing would be greater than 10% of its total assets, the fund may borrow through the inter-fund loan on a secured basis only; (4) no fund may lend money if the loan would cause its aggregate outstanding loans through the Inter-Fund Program to exceed 15% of its net assets at the time of the loan; (5) a fund’s inter-fund loans to any one fund shall not exceed 5% of the lending fund’s net assets; (6) the duration of inter-fund loans will be limited to the time required to receive payment for securities sold, but in no event more than seven days; and (7) each inter-fund loan may be called on one business day’s notice by a lending fund and may be repaid on any day by a borrowing fund. In addition, a Nuveen fund may participate in the Inter-Fund Program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. The Board is responsible for overseeing the Inter-Fund Program.

The limitations detailed above and the other conditions of the SEC exemptive order permitting the Inter-Fund Program are designed to minimize the risks associated with Inter-Fund Program for both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. However, no borrowing or lending activity is without risk. When a fund borrows money from another fund, there is a risk that the loan could be called on one day’s notice or not renewed, in which case the fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher rate or take other actions to payoff such loan if an inter-fund loan is not available from another fund. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.

During the current reporting period, none of the Funds covered by this shareholder report have entered into any inter-fund loan activity.

(Unaudited)

CURRENT INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, INVESTMENT POLICIES AND PRINCIPAL RISKS OF THE FUNDS

NUVEEN S&P 500 BUY-WRITE INCOME FUND (BXMX)

Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek attractive total return with less volatility than the S&P 500 Index.

Investment Policies

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets (as defined below) in a diversified equity portfolio made up of securities comprising the S&P 500 Index (or securities that have economic characteristics that are similar to those securities comprising the S&P 500 Index) that seeks to substantially replicate price movements of the S&P 500 Index and is designed to support the Fund’s option strategy.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund expects to invest substantially all (at least 90%) of its Managed Assets (as defined below) in its equity portfolio or otherwise in pursuit of its investment objective.

The Fund employs a constant “buy-write” option strategy whereby the Fund’s sub-adviser sells (writes) index call options on a continuous basis on substantially the full value of the Fund’s equity portfolio. The Fund targets a constant overwrite level (i.e., the ratio of the notional value of index call options sold by the Fund to the market value of the Fund’s equity portfolio) of 100% of the value of its equity portfolio. The Fund’s use of a buy-write strategy, which is also commonly referred to as a buy-write income strategy, is intended to produce cash flow for the Fund in the form of premiums on the options written. In exchange for this cash flow (the income component of a buy-write strategy), the Fund’s total return may be reduced relative to the S&P 500 Index in rising markets and may be enhanced relative to the S&P 500 Index in flat or declining markets, in each case consistent with the Fund’s investment objective to seek attractive total return with less volatility than the S&P 500 Index.

“Assets” means net assets of the Fund plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes. “Managed Assets” mean the total assets of the Fund, minus the sum of its accrued liabilities (other than Fund liabilities incurred for the express purpose of creating leverage). Total assets for this purpose shall include assets attributable to the Fund’s use of leverage (whether or not those assets are reflected in the Fund’s financial statements for purposes of generally accepted accounting principles), and derivatives will be valued at their market value.

Under normal market conditions:

The Fund may invest no more than 10% of its Managed Assets in short-term, high quality fixed-income securities.

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its Managed Assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers that are U.S. dollar denominated, which may include securities of issuers located, or conducting their business, in emerging market countries.

The foregoing policies apply only at the time of any new investment.

Approving Changes in Investment Policies

The Board of Trustees of the Fund may change the policies described above without a shareholder vote. However, with respect to the Fund’s policy of investing at least 80% of its Assets in its equity portfolio, such policy may not be changed without 60 days’ prior written notice to Common Shareholders.

However, the Fund’s fundamental Industry Concentration Policy may not be changed without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding common shares. A “majority of the outstanding” shares means (i) 67% or more of the shares present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the shares are present or represented by proxy or (ii) more than 50% of the shares, whichever is less.

Portfolio Contents

The Fund expects to invest in a portfolio of individual common stocks designed to replicate the risk and return profile, and thereby substantially replicate price movements, of the S&P 500 Index. The Fund may also invest in other investment companies, including exchange-traded fund (“ETFs”), that provide similar exposure to individual common stocks consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. Common stock generally represents an equity ownership interest in an issuer, without preference over and with a lower priority than any other class of securities, including such issuer’s debt securities, preferred stock and other senior equity securities. Common stocks usually carry voting rights and earn dividends. Common stocks fluctuate in price in response to many factors including historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity, as such the company may or may not pay dividends. Dividends on common stocks are declared at the discretion of the company’s board. In addition, common stock generally has the greatest appreciation and depreciation potential because increases and decreases in earnings are usually reflected in a company’s stock price.

Shareholder Update (Unaudited) (continued)

the exercise price upon the exercise of the call option or the expiration date. If, at expiration, the purchaser exercises the index option sold by the Fund, the Fund will pay the purchaser the difference between the cash value of the index and the exercise price of the index option. The premium, the exercise price and the market value of the index determine the gain or loss realized by the Fund as the seller of the index call option.

The Fund may invest in U.S. Government securities. U.S. Government securities include (1) U.S. Treasury obligations, which differ in their interest rates, maturities and times of issuance: U.S. Treasury bills (maturities of one year or less), U.S. Treasury notes (maturities of one year to ten years) and U.S. Treasury bonds (generally maturities of greater than ten years) and (2) obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities that are supported by any of the following: (i) the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury, (ii) the right of the issuer to borrow an amount limited to a specific line of credit from the U.S. Treasury, (iii) discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase certain obligations of the U.S. Government agency or instrumentality or (iv) the credit of the agency or instrumentality.

The Fund also may invest in any other security or agreement collateralized or otherwise secured by U.S. Government securities. Agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government include but are not limited to: Federal Land Banks, Federal Financing Banks, Banks for Cooperatives, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, Farm Credit Banks, Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal National Mortgage Association, Government National Mortgage Association, Student Loan Marketing Association, U.S. Postal Service, Small Business Administration, Tennessee Valley Authority and any other enterprise established or sponsored by the U.S. Government. Because the U.S. Government generally is not obligated to provide support to its instrumentalities, the Fund will invest in obligations issued by these instrumentalities only if its sub-adviser determines that the credit risk with respect to such obligations is minimal.

The Fund may invest in commercial paper. Commercial paper represents short-term unsecured promissory notes issued in bearer form by corporations such as banks or bank holding companies and finance companies.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements (the purchase of a security coupled with an agreement to resell that security at a higher price) with respect to its permitted investments. The Fund’s repurchase agreements will provide that the value of the collateral underlying the repurchase agreement will always be at least equal to the repurchase price, including any accrued interest earned on the agreement, and will be marked-to-market daily.

The Fund may invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers that are U.S. dollar-denominated, which may include securities of issuers located, or conducting their business, in emerging market countries. The Fund will classify an issuer of a security as being a U.S. or non-U.S. issuer based on the determination of an unaffiliated, recognized financial data provider. Such determinations are based on a number of criteria, such as the issuer’s country of domicile, the primary exchange on which the security predominately trades, the location from which the majority of the issuer’s revenue comes, and the issuer’s reporting currency. Furthermore, a country is considered to be an “emerging market” if it has a relatively low gross national product per capita compared to the world’s major economies and the potential for rapid economic growth. The Fund considers a country an emerging market country based on the determination of an international organization, such as the IMF, or an unaffiliated, recognized financial data provider.

The Fund may buy and sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, making payment or taking delivery at a later date, normally within 15 to 45 days of the trade date.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities (i.e., securities that are not readily marketable), including, but not limited to, restricted securities (securities the disposition of which is restricted under the federal securities laws), securities that may be resold only pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and repurchase agreements with maturities in excess of seven days.

The Fund may enter into certain derivative instruments in pursuit of its investment objective, including to seek to enhance return, to hedge certain risks of its investments in securities or as a substitute for a position in the underlying asset. Such instruments include financial futures contracts and options thereon, swaps (with varying terms, including interest rate swaps and credit default swaps), options on interest rates, options on indices, options on swaps, options on currencies and other fixed-income derivative instruments that may have the economic effect of leverage.

The Fund may also invest in securities of other open- or closed-end investment companies (including ETFs) that invest primarily in securities of the types in which the Fund may invest directly, to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act, as amended (the “1940 Act”), the rules and regulations issued thereunder and applicable exemptive orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The Fund may lend securities representing up to one-third of the value of its total assets to broker-dealers, banks, and other institutions to generate additional income. When the Fund loans its portfolio securities, it will receive, at the inception of each loan, cash collateral equal to at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities. Under the Fund’s securities lending agreement, the securities lending agent will generally bear the risk that a borrower may default on its obligation to return loaned securities. The Fund, however, will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral. The Fund may lose money on its investment of cash collateral or may fail to earn sufficient income on its investment to meet its obligations to the borrower.

Use of Leverage

As a non-fundamental policy, the Fund will not leverage its capital structure by issuing senior securities such as the issuance of preferred shares of beneficial interest or debt instruments. However, the Fund may borrow for temporary or emergency purposes and may enter into certain derivatives transactions that have the economic effect of leverage.

Temporary Defensive Periods

During temporary defensive periods the Fund may deviate from its investment objective and policies, and in order to keep the Fund’s cash fully invested, the Fund may invest any portion of its Managed Assets in investment grade debt securities, including obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities. The Fund may not achieve its investment objectives during such periods.

Shareholder Update (Unaudited) (continued)

NUVEEN DOW 30^SM DYNAMIC OVERWRITE FUND (DIAX)

Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek attractive total return with less volatility than the Dow Jones Industrial Average (the “DJIA”).

Investment Policies

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets (as defined below) in the thirty stocks included in the DJIA in approximately the amount such stocks are weighted in the DJIA and/or in other securities or financial instruments with economic characteristics that are similar to the thirty stocks included in the DJIA that are intended to correlate with the price movements of the DJIA.

The Fund’s sub-adviser constructs the Fund’s equity portfolio by purchasing the common stock of each company included in the DJIA in approximately the amounts stocks are weighted in the DJIA. The Fund will periodically rebalance its holdings of DJIA stocks in order to more closely approximate each stock’s weighting in the DJIA. The Fund’s sub-adviser will consider the tax consequences of certain transactions within the Fund’s equity portfolio and intends to manage the portfolio in a tax-efficient manner by taking, for example, capital losses when possible to offset realized capital gains. The Fund’s sub-adviser will rebalance and adjust the Fund’s equity portfolio as necessary for tracking and tax management purposes.

The Fund employs a dynamic options “overwrite” strategy whereby the Fund’s sub-adviser sells (writes) call options on a varying percentage of the market value of the Fund’s equity portfolio based on its market outlook. Pursuant to this option strategy, under normal circumstances, the Fund sells (writes) index call options, call options on custom baskets of securities, and call options on individual securities. In addition to a primary emphasis on writing call options to reduce downside risk and volatility of the Fund’s equity portfolio, the Fund’s option strategy as a secondary emphasis seeks additional return opportunities by capitalizing on inefficiencies in the options market through a variety of means including the use of call spreads, purchasing call options, and selling put options.

The Fund targets an overwrite level (i.e., the ratio of the notional value of call options sold by the Fund to the market value of the Fund’s equity portfolio) of 55% of the value of its equity portfolio over time, and the overwrite level will vary, based on market conditions, between 35% to 75% of the value of its equity portfolio.

Under normal market conditions:

As a fundamental policy, the Fund may not concentrate (i.e., invest more than 25% of its total assets) in securities of issuers in any one industry, except that if 25% or more of the securities in the DIJA are issued by companies in one industry, the Fund will concentrate in that industry unless the Fund would need to avoid concentration in order to implement its investment strategy as it relates to avoiding the adverse tax treatment associated with straddle positions (Industry Concentration Policy).

The Fund may invest no more than 10% of its Managed Assets in short-term, high quality fixed-income securities.

The foregoing policies apply only at the time of any new investment.

Approving Changes in Investment Policies

Portfolio Contents

The Fund will invest in the thirty common stocks included in the DJIA in approximately the amount such stocks are weighted in the DJIA. The Fund may also invest in other securities or financial instruments with economic characteristics that are similar to the thirty stocks included in the DJIA that are intended to correlate with the price movements of the DJIA. The Fund may also invest in other investment companies, including ETFs,

that provide similar exposure to individual common stocks consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. Common stock generally represents an equity ownership interest in an issuer, without preference over and with a lower priority than any other class of securities, including such issuer’s debt securities, preferred stock and other senior equity securities. Common stocks usually carry voting rights and earn dividends. Common stocks fluctuate in price in response to many factors including historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity, as such the company may or may not pay dividends. Dividends on common stocks are declared at the discretion of the company’s board. In addition, common stock generally has the greatest appreciation and depreciation potential because increases and decreases in earnings are usually reflected in a company’s stock price.

As part of its option strategy, the Fund sells (writes) index call options, call options on custom baskets of securities, and covered or uncovered call options on individual securities. An option contract is a contract that gives the holder of the option, in return for a premium, the right to buy from (in the case of a call) or sell to (in the case of a put) the writer of the option the reference instrument underlying the option (or the cash value of the index) at a specified exercise price at any time during the term of the option. The writer of an option on a security has the obligation upon exercise of the option to deliver the reference instrument (or the cash) upon payment of the exercise price or to pay the exercise price upon delivery of the reference instrument (or the cash). Upon exercise of an index option, the writer of an option on an index is obligated to pay the difference between the cash value of the index and the exercise price multiplied by the specified multiplier for the index option. Options may be “covered,” meaning that the party required to deliver the reference instrument if the option is exercised owns that instrument (or has set aside sufficient assets to meet its obligation to deliver the instrument). Options may be listed on an exchange or traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. In general, exchange-traded options have standardized exercise prices and expiration dates and may require the parties to post margin against their obligations, and the performance of the parties’ obligations in connection with such options is guaranteed by the exchange or a related clearing corporation. OTC options have more flexible terms negotiated between the buyer and the seller but are subject to counterparty risk. The ability of the Fund to transact business with any one or any number of counterparties, the lack of any independent evaluation of the counterparties or their financial capabilities, and the absence of a regulated market to facilitate settlement, may increase the potential for losses to the Fund. OTC options also involve greater liquidity risk. This risk may be increased in times of financial stress, if the trading market for OTC derivative contracts becomes limited.

In carrying out its option strategy, the Fund may write index call options on the DJIA and other broad-based indices and may, if the Fund’s sub-adviser deems conditions appropriate, write call options on a variety of other equity market indices. As the seller of an index call option, the Fund receives a premium from the purchaser. The purchaser of the index call option has the right to any appreciation in the value of the index over the exercise price upon the exercise of the call option or the expiration date. If, at expiration, the purchaser exercises the index option sold by the Fund, the Fund will pay the purchaser the difference between the cash value of the index and the exercise price of the index option. The premium, the exercise price and the market value of the index determine the gain or loss realized by the Fund as the seller of the index call option.

The Fund may also write call options on custom baskets of securities. A custom basket call option is an OTC option with a counterparty whose value is linked to the market value of a portfolio of underlying securities and is collateralized by a portion of the Fund’s equity portfolio. In designing the custom basket call options, the Fund’s sub-adviser will primarily select assets not held by the Fund. In order to minimize the difference between the returns of the underlying securities in the custom basket (commonly referred to as a tracking error), the Fund’s sub-adviser will use optimization calculations when selecting the individual securities for inclusion in the custom basket.

The Fund may also write single name call options, both covered and “naked” or uncovered, on individual stocks. A call option written by the Fund on an individual security is “covered” if the Fund owns the security underlying the call or has an absolute and immediate right to acquire that security without additional cash consideration. The Fund, in effect, sells the potential appreciation in the value of the security subject to the call option in exchange for the premium. The Fund may execute a closing purchase transaction with respect to an option it has sold and sell another option (with either a different exercise price or expiration date or both). The Fund’s objective in entering into such a closing transaction will be to optimize net index option premiums. The cost of a closing transaction may reduce the net option premiums realized from the sale of the option. This reduction could be offset, at least in part, by appreciation in the value of the underlying security held in the Fund’s equity portfolio, and by the opportunity to realize additional premium income from selling a new option.

The Fund may also purchase call options. A call option entitles the purchaser, in return for the premium paid, to purchase specified securities at a specified price during the option period. Because the premium paid for a call option is typically a small fraction of the price of the underlying security, a given amount of funds will purchase call options covering a much larger quantity of such security than could be purchased directly. By purchasing call options, the Fund could benefit from any significant increase in the price of the underlying security to a greater extent than if it had invested the same amount in the security directly.

The Fund may also use call spreads as part of its option strategy. A call spread involves the sale of a call option and the corresponding purchase of a call option on the same underlying instrument with the same expiration date but with different exercise prices. The call spreads utilized by the Fund generally will generate less net option premium than writing calls, but limit the overall risk of the strategy by capping the Fund’s liability from the written call while simultaneously allowing for additional upside above the strike price of the purchased call.

The Fund may also use put options as part of its option strategy. A put option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to sell, and the writer of the option the obligation to buy, the underlying instrument (or the cash value of the index) at a stated price (the “exercise price”) at any time before the option expires. The purchase price for a put option is the “premium” paid by the purchaser for the right to sell. When the Fund sells a put option on an underlying instrument and the underlying instrument decreases in value, the purchaser of the put option has the right to exercise the option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying instrument at an exercise price that is higher than the prevailing market price. The Fund collects option premium income when it sells the put option. If the underlying instrument increases in value, the purchaser of the put option is unlikely to exercise the option since the prevailing market price will be higher than the exercise price. Accordingly, the Fund retains all put premium income collected during market advances.

Shareholder Update (Unaudited) (continued)

The Fund may buy and sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, making payment or taking delivery at a later date, normally within 15 to 45 days of the trade date.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities (i.e., securities that are not readily marketable), including, but not limited to, restricted securities (securities the disposition of which is restricted under the federal securities laws), securities that may be resold only pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, and repurchase agreements with maturities in excess of seven days.

The Fund may also invest in securities of other open- or closed-end investment companies (including ETFs) that invest primarily in securities of the types in which the Fund may invest directly, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations issued thereunder and applicable exemptive orders issued by the SEC.

NUVEEN S&P 500 DYNAMIC OVERWRITE FUND (SPXX)

Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek attractive total return with less volatility than the S&P 500 Index.

Investment Policies

The Fund’s sub-adviser uses a multi-factor quantitative model, which will consider opportunities to engage in tax-loss harvesting (i.e., periodically selling positions that have depreciated in value to realize capital losses that can be used to offset capital gains realized by the Fund) and other tax management considerations to improve after-tax shareholder outcomes, to construct the Fund’s equity portfolio.

Under normal market conditions:

As a fundamental policy, the Fund may not concentrate (i.e., invest more than 25% of its total assets) in securities of issuers in any one industry, except that the Fund will be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent the S&P 500 Index is concentrated in an industry or group of industries unless the Fund would need to avoid concentration in order to implement its investment strategy as it relates to avoiding the adverse tax treatment associated with straddle positions (Industry Concentration Policy).

The Fund may invest no more than 10% of its Managed Assets in short-term, high quality fixed-income securities.

The foregoing policies apply only at the time of any new investment.

Approving Changes in Investment Policies

The Board of Trustees of the Fund may change the policies described above without a shareholder vote. However, with respect to the Fund’s policy of investing at least 80% of its Assets in its equity portfolio, such policies may not be changed without 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders.

Portfolio Contents

The Fund will invest in a portfolio of individual common stocks designed to replicate the risk and return profile, and thereby substantially replicate price movements of the S&P 500 Index. The Fund may also invest in other investment companies, including ETFs, that provide similar exposure to individual common stocks consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. Common stock generally represents an equity ownership interest in an issuer, without preference over and with a lower priority than any other class of securities, including such issuer’s debt securities, preferred stock and other senior equity securities. Common stocks usually carry voting rights and earn dividends. Common stocks fluctuate in price in response to

OTC options also involve greater liquidity risk. This risk may be increased in times of financial stress, if the trading market for OTC derivative contracts becomes limited.

In carrying out its option strategy, the Fund may write index call options on the S&P 500 Index and other broad-based indices and may, if the Fund’s sub-adviser deems conditions appropriate, write call options on a variety of other equity market indices. As the seller of an index call option, the Fund receives a premium from the purchaser. The purchaser of the index call option has the right to any appreciation in the value of the index over the exercise price upon the exercise of the call option or the expiration date. If, at expiration, the purchaser exercises the index option sold by the Fund, the Fund will pay the purchaser the difference between the cash value of the index and the exercise price of the index option. The premium, the exercise price and the market value of the index determine the gain or loss realized by the Fund as the seller of the index call option.

Administration, Tennessee Valley Authority and any other enterprise established or sponsored by the U.S. Government. Because the U.S. Government generally is not obligated to provide support to its instrumentalities, the Fund will invest in obligations issued by these instrumentalities only if its sub-adviser determines that the credit risk with respect to such obligations is minimal.

The Fund may buy and sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, making payment or taking delivery at a later date, normally within 15 to 45 days of the trade date.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities (i.e., securities that are not readily marketable), including, but not limited to, restricted securities (securities the disposition of which is restricted under the federal securities laws), securities that may be resold only pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, and repurchase agreements with maturities in excess of seven days.

The Fund may also invest in securities of other open- or closed-end investment companies (including ETFs) that invest primarily in securities of the types in which the Fund may invest directly, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations issued thereunder and applicable exemptive orders issued by the SEC.

NUVEEN NASDAQ 100 DYNAMIC OVERWRITE FUND (QQQX)

Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek attractive total return with less volatility than the Nasdaq 100 Index.

Investment Policies

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets (as defined below) in an equity portfolio made up of securities comprising the Nasdaq 100 Index (or securities that have economic characteristics that are similar to those securities comprising the Nasdaq 100 Index) that seeks to substantially replicate price movements of the Nasdaq 100 Index and is designed to support the Fund’s option strategy.

Under normal market conditions:

As a fundamental policy, the Fund may not concentrate (i.e., invest more than 25% of its total assets) in securities of issuers in any one industry, except that if 25% or more of the securities in the Nasdaq 100 Index are issued by companies in one industry, the Fund will concentrate in that industry unless the Fund would need to avoid concentration in order to implement its investment strategy as it relates to avoiding the adverse tax treatment associated with straddle positions (Industry Concentration Policy).

The Fund may invest no more than 10% of its Managed Assets in short-term, high quality fixed-income securities.

The foregoing policies apply only at the time of any new investment.

Approving Changes in Investment Policies

The Board of Trustees of the Fund may change the policies described above without a shareholder vote. However, with respect to the Fund’s policy of investing at least 80% of its Assets in the equity portfolio, such policy may not be changed without 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders.

Portfolio Contents

The Fund will invest in a portfolio of individual common stocks designed to replicate the risk and return profile, and thereby substantially replicate price movements of the Nasdaq 100 Index. The Fund may also invest in other investment companies, including ETFs, that provide similar exposure to individual common stocks consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. Common stock generally represents an equity ownership interest in an issuer, without preference over and with a lower priority than any other class of securities, including such issuer’s debt securities, preferred stock and other senior equity securities. Common stocks usually carry voting rights and earn dividends. Common stocks fluctuate in price in response to

As part of its option strategy, the Fund sells (writes) index call options, call options on custom baskets of securities, and covered or uncovered call options on individual securities. An option contract is a contract that gives the holder of the option, in return for a premium, the right to buy from (in the case of a call) or sell to (in the case of a put) the writer of the option the reference instrument underlying the option (or the cash value of the index) at a specified exercise price at any time during the term of the option. The writer of an option on a security has the obligation upon exercise of the option to deliver the reference instrument (or the cash) upon payment of the exercise price or to pay the exercise price upon delivery of the reference instrument (or the cash). Upon exercise of an index option, the writer of an option on an index is obligated to pay the difference between the cash value of the index and the exercise price multiplied by the specified multiplier for the index option. Options may be “covered,” meaning that the party required to deliver the reference instrument if the option is exercised owns that instrument (or has set aside sufficient assets to meet its obligation to deliver the instrument). Options may be listed on an exchange or traded in the OTC market. In general, exchange-traded options have standardized exercise prices and expiration dates and may require the parties to post margin against their obligations, and the performance of the parties’ obligations in connection with such options is guaranteed by the exchange or a related clearing corporation. OTC options have more flexible terms negotiated between the buyer and the seller but are subject to counterparty risk. The ability of the Fund to transact business with any one or any number of counterparties, the lack of any independent evaluation of the counterparties or their financial capabilities, and the absence of a regulated market to facilitate settlement, may increase the potential for losses to the Fund. OTC options also involve greater liquidity risk. This risk may be increased in times of financial stress, if the trading market for OTC derivative contracts becomes limited.

NUVEEN CORE EQUITY ALPHA FUND (JCE)

Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide an attractive level of total return. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily through long term capital appreciation and secondarily through income and gains.

Investment Policies

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets (as defined below) in the Equity Portfolio (as defined below).

The Fund invests in a portfolio of actively managed large capitalization U.S. common stocks, using the sub-adviser’s proprietary quantitative process designed to provide the potential for long-term outperformance (the “Equity Portfolio”). Additionally, the Fund seeks to reduce the volatility of its returns relative to the returns of the Equity Portfolio over extended periods by writing (selling) index call options and/or call options on custom baskets of securities (the “Options Strategy”).

Under normal market conditions:

The notional value of the call options written by the Fund under its Options Strategy may be up to 50% of the value of the Fund’s Managed Assets.

The Fund intends to limit the overlap between the stocks held in the Equity Portfolio and the stocks underlying the Fund’s call options to less than 70% (generally based on the value of such components).

The Fund may invest up to 10% of is Managed Assets in securities of other open- or closed-end investment companies (including ETFs) that invest primarily in securities of the types in which the Fund may invest directly. In addition, the Fund may invest a portion of its Managed Assets in pooled investment vehicles (other than investment companies) that invest primarily in securities of the types in which the Fund may invest directly.

The foregoing policies apply only at the time of any new investment.

Approving Changes in Investment Policies

The Board of Trustees of the Fund may change the policies described above without a shareholder vote. However, with respect to the Fund’s policy of investing at least 80% of its Assets in the Equity Portfolio, such policy may not be changed without 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders.

Portfolio Contents

The Fund generally invests in a portfolio of common stocks. Common stock generally represents an equity ownership interest in an issuer, without preference over and with a lower priority than any other class of securities, including such issuer’s debt securities, preferred stock and other senior equity securities. Common stocks usually carry voting rights and earn dividends. Common stocks fluctuate in price in response to many factors including historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity, as such the company may or may not pay dividends. Dividends on common stocks are declared at the discretion of the company’s board. In addition, common stock generally has the greatest appreciation and depreciation potential because increases and decreases in earnings are usually reflected in a company’s stock price.

The Fund implements its Option Strategy by writing (selling) index call options and call options on custom baskets of securities.

An option contract is a contract that gives the holder of the option, in return for a premium, the right to buy from (in the case of a call) or sell to (in the case of a put) the writer of the option the reference instrument underlying the option (or the cash value of the index) at a specified exercise price at any time during the term of the option. The writer of an option on a security has the obligation upon exercise of the option to deliver the reference instrument (or the cash) upon payment of the exercise price or to pay the exercise price upon delivery of the reference instrument (or the cash). Upon exercise of an index option, the writer of an option on an index is obligated to pay the difference between the cash value of the index and the exercise price multiplied by the specified multiplier for the index option. Options may be “covered,” meaning that the party required to deliver the reference instrument if the option is exercised owns that instrument (or has set aside sufficient assets to meet its obligation to deliver the instrument). Options may be listed on an exchange or traded in the OTC market. In general, exchange-traded options have standardized exercise prices and expiration dates and may require the parties to post margin against their obligations, and the performance of the parties’ obligations in connection with such options is guaranteed by the exchange or a related clearing corporation. OTC options have more flexible terms negotiated between the buyer and the seller, but generally are subject to counterparty risk. The ability of the Fund to transact business with any one or any

Shareholder Update (Unaudited) (continued)

number of counterparties, the lack of any independent evaluation of the counterparties or their financial capabilities, and the absence of a regulated market to facilitate settlement, may increase the potential for losses to the Fund. OTC options also involve greater liquidity risk. This risk may be increased in times of financial stress, if the trading market for OTC derivative contracts becomes limited. The staff of the SEC takes the position that certain purchased OTC options, and assets used as cover for certain written OTC options, are illiquid.

The Fund writes index call options on broad-based indices and may, if the sub-adviser deems conditions appropriate, write call options on a variety of other equity market indices. As the seller of an index call option, the Fund receives a premium from the purchaser. The purchaser of the index call option has the right to any appreciation in the value of the index over the exercise price upon the exercise of the call option or the expiration date. If, at expiration, the purchaser exercises the index option sold by the Fund, the Fund will pay the purchaser the difference between the cash value of the index and the exercise price of the index option. The premium, the exercise price and the market value of the index determine the gain or loss realized by the Fund as the seller of the index call option.

The Fund may also write call options on custom baskets of securities. A custom basket call option is an OTC option with a counterparty whose value is linked to the market value of a portfolio of underlying securities and is collateralized by a portion of the Fund’s Equity Portfolio. In order to minimize the difference between the returns of the underlying securities in the custom basket (commonly referred to as a tracking error), the sub-adviser will use optimization calculations when selecting the individual securities for inclusion in the custom basket.

In addition to the use of call options as described above, the Fund may enter into certain derivative instruments in pursuit of its investment objective, including to seek to enhance return, to hedge certain risks of its investments or as a substitute for a position in the underlying asset. Such instruments include options, futures contracts, index futures and total return swaps. In addition, the Fund may invest in other types of derivative instruments that are currently non-principal investments, including forward contracts, interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors, credit default swaps, and swap options.

The Fund may invest in illiquid securities (i.e., securities that are not readily marketable), including, but not limited to, restricted securities (securities the disposition of which is restricted under the federal securities laws), securities that may be resold only pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, and repurchase agreements with maturities in excess of seven days.

The Fund may buy and sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, making payment or taking delivery at a later date, normally within 15 to 45 days of the trade date.

Use of Leverage

As a non-fundamental policy, the Fund will not leverage its capital structure by issuing senior securities such as the issuance of preferred shares of beneficial interest or debt instruments. The Fund may, however, borrow up to 7.5% of its Managed Assets for cash management purposes. In addition, the Fund may borrow for temporary or emergency purposes and may enter into certain derivatives transactions that have the economic effect of leverage by creating additional investment exposure.

Temporary Defensive Periods

During temporary defensive periods the Fund may deviate from its investment objective and policies, and in order to keep the Fund’s cash fully invested, the Fund may invest up to 100% of its Managed Assets in investment grade debt securities, including obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective during such periods.

Shareholder Update (Unaudited) (continued)

Portfolio Level Risks:

Call Option Risk. As the writer of a call option, the Fund foregoes, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the instrument underlying the call option above the sum of the premium and the strike price of the option, but will retain the risk of loss should the market value of the instrument underlying the call option decline. The purchaser of the call option has the right to any appreciation in the value of the underlying instrument over the exercise price upon the exercise of the call option or the expiration date. As the Fund increases the option overlay percentage, its ability to benefit from capital appreciation becomes more limited and the risk of NAV erosion increases. If the Fund experiences NAV erosion, which itself may have a negative effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares, the Fund will have a reduced asset base over which to write call options, which may eventually lead to reduced distributions to shareholders.

In addition, because the exercise of index options is settled in cash, sellers of index call options, such as the Fund, cannot provide in advance for their potential settlement obligations by acquiring and holding the underlying securities. The Fund bears a risk that the value of the securities held by the Fund will vary from the value of the underlying index and relative to the written index call option positions. Accordingly, the Fund may incur losses on the index call options that it has sold that exceed gains on the Fund’s equity portfolio. The value of index options written by the Fund, which will be priced daily, will be affected by changes in the value of and dividend rates of the underlying common stocks in the index, changes in the actual or perceived volatility of the stock market and the remaining time to the options’ expiration. The value of the index options also may be adversely affected if the market for the index options becomes less liquid or smaller.

Call Spreads Risk. The Fund may enter into call spreads. A call spread involves the sale of a call option and the corresponding purchase of a call option on the same underlying instrument with the same expiration date but with different strike prices. The Fund may not be able to enter into (or close out of) these transactions, at times or in the quantities desired by the sub-adviser. The Fund also may not be able to enter into (or close out of) these transactions because of, among other things, the lack of market participants that are willing to take contrary positions to that of the Fund.

Common Stock Risk. Common stocks have experienced significantly more volatility in returns and may significantly underperform relative to fixed-income securities during certain periods. An adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of a particular common stock held by the Fund. Also, the price of common stocks is sensitive to general movements in the stock market, and a drop in the stock market may depress the price of common stocks to which the Fund has exposure. Common stock prices fluctuate for several reasons, including changes in investors’ perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer, the general condition of the relevant stock market or the current and expected future conditions of the broader economy, or when political or economic events affecting the issuer in particular or the stock market in general occur. In addition, common stock prices may be particularly sensitive to rising interest rates, as the cost of capital rises and borrowing costs increase.

Concentration Risk. The Fund’s investments are concentrated in issuers of one or a few specific economic sectors, so the Fund may be subject to more risks than if it were broadly diversified across the economy.

Counterparty Risk. The Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to the derivative transactions entered into by the Fund. Changes in the credit quality of the companies that serve as the Fund’s counterparties with respect to derivatives transactions may affect the value of those instruments. Because certain derivative transactions in which the Fund may engage may be traded between counterparties based on contractual relationships, the Fund is subject to the risk that a counterparty will not perform its obligations under the related contracts. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise becomes unable to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties the Fund may sustain losses (including the full amount of its investment), may be unable to liquidate a derivatives position or may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in bankruptcy or other reorganization proceedings. By entering into derivatives transactions, the Fund assumes the risk that its counterparties could experience such financial hardships. Although the Fund intends to enter into transactions only with counterparties that the sub-adviser believes to be creditworthy, there can be no assurance that a counterparty will not default and that the Fund will not sustain a loss on a transaction. In the event of a counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency, any collateral posted by the Fund in connection with a derivatives transaction may be subject to the conflicting claims of that counterparty’s creditors, and the Fund may be exposed to the risk of a court treating the Fund as a general unsecured creditor of the counterparty, rather than as the owner of the collateral.

Deflation Risk. Deflation risk is the risk that prices throughout the economy decline over time. Deflation may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers and may make issuer default more likely, which may result in a decline in the value of the Fund’s portfolio.

Derivatives Risk. The use of derivatives involves additional risks and transaction costs which could leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments. Derivative instruments can be used to acquire or to transfer the risk and returns of a security or other asset without buying or selling the security or asset. These instruments may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest. As a result, a small investment in derivatives can result in losses that greatly exceed the original investment. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value. An over-the-counter derivative transaction between the Fund and a counterparty that is not cleared through a central counterparty also involves the risk that a loss may be sustained as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the contract to make required payments. The payment obligation for a cleared derivative transaction is guaranteed by a central counterparty, which exposes the Fund to the creditworthiness of the central counterparty. The use of certain derivatives involves leverage, which can cause the Fund’s portfolio to be more volatile than if the portfolio had not been leveraged. Leverage can significantly magnify the effect of price movements of the reference asset, disproportionately increasing the Fund’s losses and reducing the Fund’s opportunities for gains when the reference asset changes in unexpected ways. In some instances, such leverage could result in losses that exceed the original amount invested.

It is possible that regulatory or other developments in the derivatives market, including changes in government regulation could adversely impact the Fund’s ability to invest in certain derivatives successfully use derivative instruments.

102

Dividend Income Risk. A portion of the net investment income paid by the Fund to its shareholders is derived from dividends it receives from the common stocks held in the Fund’s equity portfolio. Dividends paid on securities held by the Fund can vary significantly over the short-term and long-term. Dividends on common stocks are not fixed, but are declared at the discretion of an issuer’s board of directors. There is no guarantee that the issuers of common stocks in which the Fund invests will declare dividends in the future or that if declared they will remain at current levels or increase over time.

Frequent Trading Risk. In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund may engage in trading that results in a high portfolio turnover rate, which may vary greatly from year to year, as well as within a given year. A higher portfolio turnover rate may result in correspondingly greater transactional expenses that are borne by the Fund. Such expenses may include bid-ask spreads, dealer mark-ups, and other transactional costs on the sale of securities and reinvestment in other securities, and may result in the realization of taxable capital gains (including short-term gains, which are generally taxed for federal income tax purposes to shareholders as ordinary income when distributed). These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example thereunder, may affect the Fund’s performance.

Hedging Risk. The Fund’s use of derivatives or other transactions to reduce risk involves costs and will be subject to the investment adviser’s and/or the sub-adviser’s ability to predict correctly changes in the relationships of such hedge instruments to the Fund’s portfolio holdings or other factors. No assurance can be given that the investment adviser’s and/or the sub-adviser’s judgment in this respect will be correct, and no assurance can be given that the Fund will enter into hedging or other transactions at times or under circumstances in which it may be advisable to do so. Hedging activities may reduce the Fund’s opportunities for gain by offsetting the positive effects of favorable price movements and may result in net losses.

Illiquid Investments Risk. Illiquid investments are investments that are not readily marketable. These investments may include restricted investments, including Rule 144A securities, which cannot be resold to the public without an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, or, if they are unregistered may be sold only in a privately negotiated transaction or pursuant to an available exemption from registration. The Fund may not be able to readily dispose of such investments at prices that approximate those at which the Fund could sell the investments if they were more widely traded and, as a result of such illiquidity, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions if necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations. Limited liquidity can also affect the market price of investments, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s NAV and ability to make dividend distributions. The financial markets in general have in recent years experienced periods of extreme secondary market supply and demand imbalance, resulting in a loss of liquidity during which market prices were suddenly and substantially below traditional measures of intrinsic value. During such periods, some investments could be sold only at arbitrary prices and with substantial losses. Periods of such market dislocation may occur again at any time.

Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the common shares and distributions can decline. Currently, inflation rates are elevated relative to normal market conditions and could increase.

Information Technology Sector Risk. The Fund currently invests a significant portion of its assets in the information technology sector, although this may change over time. The information technology sector can be significantly affected by changes in, among other things, the supply and demand for specific products and services, the pace of technological development and product obsolescence, market competition, government regulation, and patent and intellectual property rights.

Large-Cap Company Risk. While large-cap companies may be less volatile than those of mid-and small-cap companies, they still involve risk. To the extent the Fund invests in large-capitalization securities, the Fund may underperform funds that invest primarily in securities of smaller capitalization companies during periods when the securities of such companies are in favor. Large-capitalization companies may be unable to respond as quickly as smaller capitalization companies to competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial or other market conditions.

Non-U.S. Securities Risk. Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers involve special risks, including: less publicly available information about non-U.S. issuers or markets due to less rigorous disclosure or accounting standards or regulatory practices; many non-U.S. markets are smaller, less liquid and more volatile; the economies of non-U.S. countries may grow at slower rates than expected or may experience a downturn or recession; the impact of economic, political, social or diplomatic events; possible seizure of a company’s assets; restrictions imposed by foreign countries limiting the ability of foreign issuers to make payments of principal and/or interest due to blockages of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise; and withholding and other non-U.S. taxes may decrease the Fund’s return. These risks are more pronounced to the extent that the Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in issuers located in one region.

Option Strategy Risk. The value of call options sold (written) by the Fund will fluctuate. The Fund may not participate in any appreciation of its portfolio as fully as it would if the Fund did not sell call options. In addition, the Fund will continue to bear the risk of declines in the value of its portfolio. In employing the Fund’s option strategy, the sub-adviser seeks to reduce downside risk and volatility of the Fund’s equity portfolio. This strategy may not protect against market declines and may limit the Fund’s participation in market gains, particularly during periods when market values are increasing. This strategy may increase the Fund’s portfolio transaction costs, which could result in losses or reduce gains, and may not be successful.

Other Investment Companies Risk. The Fund may invest in the securities of other investment companies, including ETFs. Investing in an investment company exposes the Fund to all of the risks of that investment company’s investments. The Fund, as a holder of the securities of other investment companies, will bear its pro rata portion of the other investment companies’ expenses, including advisory fees. These expenses are in addition to the direct expenses of the Fund’s own operations. As a result, the cost of investing in investment company shares may exceed the costs of investing directly in its underlying investments. In addition, securities of other investment companies may be leveraged. As a result, the Fund may be indirectly exposed to leverage through an investment in such securities and therefore magnify the Fund’s leverage risk.

103

Shareholder Update (Unaudited) (continued)

With respect to ETF’s, an ETF that is based on a specific index may not be able to replicate and maintain exactly the composition and relative weighting of securities in the index. The value of an ETF based on a specific index is subject to change as the values of its respective component assets fluctuate according to market volatility. ETFs typically rely on a limited pool of authorized participants to create and redeem shares, and an active trading market for ETF shares may not develop or be maintained. The market value of shares of ETFs and closed-end funds may differ from their NAV.

Put Option Risk. By writing put options, the Fund takes on the risk of declines in the value of the underlying instrument, including the possibility of a loss up to the entire strike price of each option it sells but without the corresponding opportunity to benefit from potential increases in the value of the underlying instrument. When the Fund writes a put option, it assumes the risk that it must purchase the underlying instrument at a strike price that may be higher than the market price of the instrument. If there is a broad market decline and the Fund is not able to close out its written put options, it may result in substantial losses to the Fund. The Fund will receive a premium from writing options, but the premium received may not be sufficient to offset any losses sustained from exercised put options.

Quantitative Analysis Risk. The risk that stocks selected using quantitative modeling and analysis could perform differently from the market as a whole and the risk that such quantitative analysis and modeling may not adequately take into account certain factors, may contain design flaws or inaccurate assumptions and may rely on inaccurate data inputs, which may result in losses to the Fund.

Swap Transactions Risk. The Fund may enter into derivative instruments such as swap contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps and forward contracts. Like most derivative instruments, the use of swaps is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, the use of swaps requires an understanding by the investment adviser and/or the sub-adviser of not only the referenced asset, rate or index, but also of the swap itself. If the investment adviser and/ or the sub-adviser is incorrect in its forecasts of default risks, market spreads or other applicable factors or events, the investment performance of the Fund would diminish compared with what it would have been if these techniques were not used.

Technology Company Investment Risk. A substantial portion of the securities represented in the applicable index are in the technology sector. As a result, the Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in technology companies. The market prices of technology-related stocks tend to exhibit a greater degree of market risk and price volatility than other types of investments. These stocks may fall in and out of favor with investors rapidly, which may cause sudden selling and dramatically lower market prices. Technology stocks also may be affected adversely by changes in technology, consumer and business purchasing patterns, government regulation and/or obsolete products or services.

Valuation Risk. The securities in which the Fund invests typically are valued by a pricing service utilizing a range of market-based inputs and assumptions, including readily available market quotations obtained from broker-dealers making markets in such instruments, cash flows and transactions for comparable instruments. There is no assurance that the Fund will be able to sell a portfolio security at the price established by the pricing service, which could result in a loss to the Fund. Pricing services generally price securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional “round lot” size, but some trades may occur in smaller, “odd lot” sizes, often at lower prices than institutional round lot trades. Different pricing services may incorporate different assumptions and inputs into their valuation methodologies, potentially resulting in different values for the same securities. As a result, if the Fund were to change pricing services, or if the Fund’s pricing service were to change its valuation methodology, there could be a material impact, either positive or negative, on the Fund’s NAV.

Fund Level and Other Risks:

Anti-Takeover Provisions. The Fund’s organizational documents include provisions that could limit the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Fund or convert the Fund to open-end status.

Borrowing Risk. The Fund may borrow for temporary or emergency purposes. Borrowing may exaggerate changes in the NAV of the Fund’s shares and may affect the Fund’s net income. When the Fund borrows money, it must pay interest and other fees, which will reduce the Fund’s returns if such costs exceed the returns on the portfolio securities purchased or retained with such borrowings. Any such borrowings are intended to be temporary. However, under certain market circumstances, such borrowings might be outstanding for longer periods of time.

Cybersecurity Risk. The Fund and its service providers are susceptible to operational and information security risk resulting from cyber incidents. Cyber incidents refer to both intentional attacks and unintentional events including: processing errors, human errors, technical errors including computer glitches and system malfunctions, inadequate or failed internal or external processes, market-wide technical-related disruptions, unauthorized access to digital systems (through “hacking” or malicious software coding), computer viruses, and cyber-attacks which shut down, disable, slow or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes or website access or functionality (including denial of service attacks). Cyber incidents could adversely impact the Fund and cause the Fund to incur financial loss and expense, as well as face exposure to regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by its service providers or any other third parties whose operations may affect the Fund.

Global Economic Risk. National and regional economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country, region or market might adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or market. Changes in legal, political, regulatory, tax and economic conditions may cause fluctuations in markets and assets prices around the world, which could negatively impact the value of the Fund’s investments. Major economic or political disruptions, particularly in large economies like China’s, may have global negative economic and market repercussions. Additionally, instability in various countries, such as Afghanistan and Syria, war, natural and environmental disasters and the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health emergencies , terrorist attacks in the United States and around the world, growing social and political discord in the United States, the European debt crisis, the response of the international community—through economic sanctions and otherwise—to international events, further downgrade of U.S. government securities, changes in the U.S. president or political shifts in Congress and other similar events may adversely affect the global economy and the markets and issuers in which the Fund invests. Recent examples of such events include Hamas’ attack on Israel in October 2023 and the ensuing conflict, the outbreak of a novel coronavirus known

104

as COVID-19 that was first detected in China in December 2019 and heightened concerns regarding North Korea’s nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missile programs. In addition, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has resulted in sanctions imposed by several nations, such as the United States, United Kingdom, European Union and Canada. The current sanctions and potential further sanctions may negatively impact certain sectors of Russia’s economy, but also may negatively impact the value of the Fund’s investments that do not have direct exposure to Russia. These events could reduce consumer demand or economic output, result in market closure, travel restrictions or quarantines, and generally have a significant impact on the global economy. These events could also impair the information technology and other operational systems upon which the Fund’s service providers, including the Fund’s sub-adviser, rely, and could otherwise disrupt the ability of employees of the Fund’s service providers to perform essential tasks on behalf of the Fund.

The Fund does not know and cannot predict how long the securities markets may be affected by these events and the future impact of these and similar events on the global economy and securities markets is uncertain. The Fund may be adversely affected by abrogation of international agreements and national laws which have created the market instruments in which the Fund may invest, failure of the designated national and international authorities to enforce compliance with the same laws and agreements, failure of local, national and international organizations to carry out the duties prescribed to them under the relevant agreements, revisions of these laws and agreements which dilute their effectiveness or conflicting interpretation of provisions of the same laws and agreements.

Governmental and quasi-governmental authorities and regulators throughout the world have in the past responded to major economic disruptions with a variety of significant fiscal and monetary policy changes, including but not limited to, direct capital infusions into companies, new monetary programs and dramatically lower interest rates. An unexpected or quick reversal of these policies, or the ineffectiveness of these policies, could increase volatility in securities markets, which could adversely affect the Fund’s investments.

Investment and Market Risk. An investment in common shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest. Common shares frequently trade at a discount to their NAV. An investment in common shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. Common shares at any point in time may be worth less than your original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.

Legislation and Regulatory Risk. At any time after the date of this report, legislation or additional regulations may be enacted that could negatively affect the assets of the Fund, securities held by the Fund or the issuers of such securities. Fund shareholders may incur increased costs resulting from such legislation or additional regulation. There can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation or deregulation will not have a material adverse effect on the Fund or will not impair the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objectives.

Market Discount from Net Asset Value. Shares of closed-end investment companies like the Fund frequently trade at prices lower than their NAV. This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that the Fund’s NAV could decrease as a result of investment activities. Whether investors will realize gains or losses upon the sale of the common shares will depend not upon the Fund’s NAV but entirely upon whether the market price of the common shares at the time of sale is above or below the investor’s purchase price for the common shares. Furthermore, management may have difficulty meeting the Fund’s investment objectives and managing its portfolio when the underlying securities are redeemed or sold during periods of market turmoil and as investors’ perceptions regarding closed-end funds or their underlying investments change. Because the market price of the common shares will be determined by factors such as relative supply of and demand for the common shares in the market, general market and economic circumstances, and other factors beyond the control of the Fund, the Fund cannot predict whether the common shares will trade at, below or above NAV. The common shares are designed primarily for long-term investors, and you should not view the Fund as a vehicle for short-term trading purposes.

Non-Diversified Status Risk. Because the Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act, it can invest a greater portion of its assets in obligations of a single issuer than a “diversified” fund. As a result, the Fund will be more susceptible than a diversified fund to fluctuations in the prices of securities of a single issuer.

Not an Index Fund. The Fund is not, nor is it intended to be, an index fund. As a result, the performance of the Fund will differ from the performance of the index as a whole for various reasons, including the fact that the Fund will write call options on a portion of its equity portfolio and the weightings of the securities included in the Fund’s equity portfolio may be different than the weightings of the common stocks in the index. The Fund, by writing call options on its equity portfolio, will give up the opportunity to benefit from potential increases in the value of the Fund’s equity portfolio above the exercise prices of the options, but will continue to bear the risk of declines in the value of the Fund’s equity portfolio.

Recent Market Conditions. Periods of unusually high financial market volatility and restrictive credit conditions, at times limited to a particular sector or geographic area, have occurred in the past and may be expected to recur in the future. Some countries, including the United States, have adopted or have signaled protectionist trade measures, relaxation of the financial industry regulations that followed the financial crisis, and/ or reductions to corporate taxes. The scope of these policy changes is still developing, but the equity and debt markets may react strongly to expectations of change, which could increase volatility, particularly if a resulting policy runs counter to the market’s expectations. The outcome of such changes cannot be foreseen at the present time. In addition, geopolitical and other risks, including environmental and public health risks, may add to instability in the world economy and markets generally. As a result of increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by events impacting a country or region, regardless of whether the Fund invests in issuers located in or with significant exposure to such country or region.

Ukraine has experienced ongoing military conflict, most recently in February 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine; this conflict may expand and military attacks could occur elsewhere in Europe. Europe has also been struggling with mass migration from the Middle East and Africa. The ultimate effects of these events and other socio-political or geographical issues are not known but could profoundly affect global economies and markets. Additionally, in October 2023 armed conflict broke out between Israel and the militant group Hamas after Hamas infiltrated Israel’s southern border

105

Shareholder Update (Unaudited) (continued)

from the Gaza Strip. Israel has since declared war against Hamas and it’s possible that this conflict could escalate into a greater regional conflict. The ultimate effects of these events and other socio-political or geographical issues are not known but could profoundly affect global economies and markets.

The ongoing trade war between China and the United States, including the imposition of tariffs by each country on the other country’s products, has created a tense political environment. These actions may trigger a significant reduction in international trade, the oversupply of certain manufactured goods, substantial price reductions of goods and possible failure of individual companies and/or large segments of China’s export industry, which could have a negative impact on the Fund’s performance. U.S. companies that source material and goods from China and those that make large amounts of sales in China would be particularly vulnerable to an escalation of trade tensions. Uncertainty regarding the outcome of the trade tensions and the potential for a trade war could cause the U.S. dollar to decline against safe haven currencies, such as the Japanese yen and the euro. Events such as these and their consequences are difficult to predict and it is unclear whether further tariffs may be imposed or other escalating actions may be taken in the future.

The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has in the past raised interest rates and has signaled an intention to continue to do so or maintain higher interest rates until current inflation levels re-align with the Fed’s long-term inflation target. Changing interest rate environments impact the various sectors of the economy in different ways. For example, in March 2023, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) was appointed receiver for each of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, the second- and third-largest bank failures in U.S. history, which failures may be attributable, in part, to rising interest rates. Bank failures may have a destabilizing impact on the broader banking industry or markets generally.

The impact of these developments in the near- and long-term is unknown and could have additional adverse effects on economies, financial markets and asset valuations around the world.

Fund Tax Risk. The Fund has elected to be treated and intends to qualify each year as a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a RIC, the Fund is not expected to be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent that it distributes its investment company taxable income and net capital gains. To qualify for the special tax treatment available to a RIC, the Fund must comply with certain investment, distribution, and diversification requirements. Under certain circumstances, the Fund may be forced to sell certain assets when it is not advantageous in order to meet these requirements, which may reduce the Fund’s overall return. If the Fund fails to meet any of these requirements, subject to the opportunity to cure such failures under applicable provisions of the Code, the Fund’s income would be subject to a double level of U.S. federal income tax. The Fund’s income, including its net capital gain, would first be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates, even if such income were distributed to shareholders and, second, all distributions by the Fund from earnings and profits, including distributions of net capital gain (if any), would be taxable to shareholders as dividends.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

Nuveen Closed-End Funds Automatic Reinvestment Plan

Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares. By choosing to reinvest, you’ll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of compounding. Just like distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on distributions that are reinvested. It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.

Easy and convenient

To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each quarter you’ll receive a statement showing your total distributions, the date of investment, the shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.

How shares are purchased

The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above NAV at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the greater of the NAV or 95% of the then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than NAV, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. If Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Plan Agent”) begins purchasing Fund shares on the open market while shares are trading below NAV, but the Fund’s shares subsequently trade at or above their NAV before the Plan Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares’ NAV or 95% of the shares’ market value on the last business day immediately prior to the purchase date. Distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the distribution payment date. No interest will be paid on distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.

Flexible

You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change. You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment adviser if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time.

CHANGES OCCURRING DURING THE FISCAL YEAR

The following information in this annual report is a summary of certain changes during the most recent fiscal year. This information may not reflect all of the changes that have occurred since you purchased shares of a Fund.

During the most recent fiscal year, there have been no changes required to be reported in connection with: (i) the Funds’ investment objectives and principal investment policies that have not been approved by shareholders, (ii) the principal risks of the Fund, (iii) the portfolio managers of the Funds; (iv) a Fund’s charter or by-laws that would delay or prevent a change of control of the Fund that have not been approved by shareholders, except as follows:

Amended and Restated Bylaws

On October 5, 2020, the Nuveen S&P 500 Buy-Write Income Fund, Nuveen Dow 30^SM Dynamic Overwrite Fund, Nuveen S&P 500 Dynamic Overwrite Fund, Nuveen Nasdaq 100 Dynamic Overwrite Fund, and Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) and certain other closed-end funds in the Nuveen fund complex amended their by-laws. Among other things, the amended by-laws included provisions pursuant to which, in summary, a shareholder who obtains beneficial ownership of common shares in a Control Share Acquisition (as defined in the by-laws) shall have the same voting rights as other common shareholders only to the extent authorized by the other disinterested shareholders (the “Control Share By-Law”). On January 14, 2021, a shareholder of certain Nuveen closed-end funds filed a civil complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “District Court”) against certain Nuveen funds and their trustees, seeking a declaration that such funds’ Control Share By-Laws violate the 1940 Act, rescission of such fund’s Control Share By-Laws and a permanent injunction against such funds applying the Control Share By-Laws. On February 18, 2022, the District Court granted judgment in favor of the plaintiff’s claim for rescission of such funds’ Control Share By-Laws and the plaintiff’s declaratory judgment claim, and declared that such funds’ Control Share By-Laws violate Section 18(i) of the 1940 Act. Following review of the judgment of the District Court, on February 22, 2022, the Board amended the Funds’ bylaws to provide that the Funds’ Control Share By-Law shall be of no force and effect for so long as the judgment of the District Court is effective and that if the judgment of the District Court is reversed, overturned, vacated, stayed, or otherwise nullified, the Fund’s Control Share By-Law will be automatically reinstated and apply to any beneficial owner of common shares acquired in a Control Share Acquisition, regardless of whether such Control Share Acquisition occurs before or after such reinstatement, for the duration of the stay or upon issuance of the mandate reversing, overturning, vacating or otherwise nullifying the judgment of the District Court. On February 25, 2022, the Board and the Funds appealed the District Court’s decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On November 30, 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit upheld the opinion of the District Court.

Shares of closed-end investment companies, including those of the Funds, may frequently trade at prices lower than NAV, the Funds’ Board of Trustees (Board) has currently determined that, at least annually, it will consider action that might be taken to reduce or eliminate any material discount from NAV in respect of Common Shares, which may include the repurchase of such shares in the open market or in private transactions, the making of a tender offer for such shares at NAV, or the conversion of the Fund to an open-end investment company. The Funds cannot assure you that their Board will decide to take any of these actions, or that share repurchases or tender offers will actually reduce market discount.

UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

Each Fund believes that there are no material unresolved written comments, received 180 days or more before December 31, 2023, from the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding any of its periodic or current reports under the Securities Exchange Act or Investment Company Act of 1940, or its registration statement, if applicable.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

The following tables show the amount of fees that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Fund’s auditor, billed to the Fund during the Fund’s last two full fiscal years. For engagements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP provided to the Fund, except for those non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the “pre-approval exception”). The pre-approval exception for services provided directly to the Fund waives the pre-approval requirement for services other than audit, review or attest services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee’s attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the audit is completed.

The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its Chair (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).

SERVICES THAT THE FUND’S AUDITOR BILLED TO THE FUND

¹ “Audit Fees” are the aggregate fees billed for professional services for the audit of the Fund’s annual financial statements and services provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

² “Audit Related Fees” are the aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements that are not reported under “Audit Fees”. These fees include offerings related to the Fund’s common shares and leverage.

³ “Tax Fees” are the aggregate fees billed for professional services for tax advice, tax compliance, and tax planning. These fees include: all global withholding tax services; excise and state tax reviews; capital gain, tax equalization and taxable basis calculation performed by the principal accountant.

⁴ “All Other Fees” are the aggregate fees billed for products and services other than “Audit Fees”, “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees”. These fees represent all “Agreed-Upon Procedures” engagements pertaining to the Fund’s use of leverage.

SERVICES THAT THE FUND’S AUDITOR BILLED TO THE

ADVISER AND AFFILIATED FUND SERVICE PROVIDERS

The following tables show the amount of fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (formerly Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc.) (the “Adviser”), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund (“Affiliated Fund Service Provider”), for engagements directly related to the Fund’s operations and financial reporting, during the Fund’s last two full fiscal years.

The tables also show the percentage of fees subject to the pre-approval exception. The pre-approval exception for services provided to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider (other than audit, review or attest services) waives the pre-approval requirement if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP by the Fund, the Adviser and Affiliated Fund Service Providers during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee; (B) the Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee’s attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the Fund’s audit is completed.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

The following table shows the amount of fees that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP billed during the Fund’s last two full fiscal years for non-audit services. The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve non-audit services that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP provides to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Services Provider, if the engagement related directly to the Fund’s operations and financial reporting (except for those subject to the pre-approval exception described above). The Audit Committee requested and received information from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP about any non-audit services that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP rendered during the Fund’s last fiscal year to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The Committee considered this information in evaluating PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s independence.


Fiscal Year Ended	Total Non-Audit Fees Billed to Fund		Total Non-Audit Fees billed to Adviser and Affiliated Fund Service Providers (engagements related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund)		Total Non-Audit Fees billed to Adviser and Affiliated Fund Service Providers (all other engagements)		Total

December 31, 2022	$	0	$	0	$	0	$	0

“Non-Audit Fees billed to Fund” for both fiscal year ends represent “Tax Fees” and “All Other Fees” billed to Fund in their respective amounts from the previous table.

Less than 50 percent of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. Generally, the Audit Committee must approve (i) all non-audit services to be performed for the Fund by the Fund’s independent accountants and (ii) all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Fund’s independent accountants for the Affiliated Fund Service Providers with respect to operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the independent accountants for the Fund and Affiliated Fund Service Providers (with respect to operations and financial reports of the Fund) such engagements will be (i) pre-approved by the Audit Committee if they are expected to be for amounts greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the Audit Committee chair for his verbal approval prior to engagement if they are expected to be for amounts under $10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii) reported to the Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting if they are expected to be for an amount under $5,000.

ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS.

The registrant’s Board has a separately designated Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)).

ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

The Adviser has engaged Gateway Investment Advisers, LLC (“Gateway” or the “Sub-Adviser”) as Sub-Adviser to provide discretionary investment advisory services. As part of these services, the Adviser has also delegated to the Sub-Adviser the full responsibility for proxy voting and related duties in accordance with the Sub-Adviser’s policy and procedures. The Adviser periodically will monitor the Sub-Adviser’s voting to ensure that they are carrying out their duties. The Sub-Adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures are attached as an exhibit and summarized as follows:

The SEC has issued regulations with respect to proxy voting for all registered investment advisers and their clients. To meet these requirements on a client’s behalf, Gateway has adopted policies as described below.

Gateway recognizes that voting rights are financial assets of a client’s account and that they must be managed accordingly, with voting decisions made in the client’s best interests. To that end and because of increasing complexity in administering policies in this area, Gateway has contracted with Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) a nationally recognized proxy voting agent, to assist in administering client proxy votes and to provide voting recommendation on each ballot issue. ISS has developed its US Summary Proxy Voting Guidelines, which provide vote recommendations for proxy voting that are designed to serve the best interest of investors. These recommendations outline the rationale for determining how particular issues should be voted. Gateway incorporated these recommendations into its Proxy Voting Policy and has instructed ISS to vote accordingly. In addition, Gateway’s policy addresses the rare circumstances in which ISS’ voting recommendations may not be followed. The policy describes how any conflicts of interest would be handled. It also refers to procedures that address Gateway’s continuing due diligence of ISS.

ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC is the registrant’s investment adviser (also referred to as the “Adviser”). The Adviser is responsible for the selection and on-going monitoring of the Fund’s investment portfolio, managing the Fund’s business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services. The Adviser has engaged Gateway Investment Advisers, LLC (“Gateway”, or the “Sub- Adviser”), as Sub-Adviser to provide discretionary investment advisory services. The following section provides information on the portfolio managers at the Sub-Adviser:

ITEM 8(a)(1). PORTFOLIO MANAGER BIOGRAPHIES

As of the date of filing this report, the following individuals at the Sub-Adviser (the “Portfolio Managers”) have primary responsibility for the day-to-day implementation of the registrant’s investment strategies:

Michael T. Buckius, Kenneth H. Toft, Daniel M. Ashcraft, and Michael J. Trotta - Michael T. Buckius, CFA, Kenneth H. Toft, CFA, Daniel M. Ashcraft, CFA and Mitchell J. Trotta, CFA, are responsible for investing the Managed Assets of the Nuveen S&P 500 Buy-Write Income Fund (BXMX). Mr. Buckius is Gateway’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Investment Officer, President and Portfolio Manager. He joined Gateway in 1999 as Vice President and Portfolio Manager, prior to which he worked as an equity derivative sales professional at Bear Stearns & Co. and Bankers Trust Company. Mr. Toft joined Gateway in 1992 and is currently a Senior Vice President and Portfolio Manager. He has been a Vice President and Portfolio Manager for the firm since 1997, prior to which he held the position of Senior Trader and Research Analyst. Mr. Ashcraft joined Gateway in 2009, was promoted to Vice President in 2022 and is currently a Portfolio Manager on several of the funds Gateway advises. Mr. Trotta joined Gateway in 2016 and is currently a Portfolio Manager on several of the funds Gateway advises. Messrs. Buckius, Toft, Ashcraft and Trotta also serve as co-portfolio managers of Gateway’s flagship open-end fund, the Gateway Fund.

ITEM 8(a)(2). OTHER ACCOUNTS MANAGED BY PORTFOLIO MANAGERS

As of December 31, 2023, Messrs. Buckius, Toft and Ashcraft were responsible for day-to-day management of 5 registered investment company accounts (excluding the Fund) having assets of approximately $6.9 billion. Mr. Trotta was responsible for day-to-day management of 4 registered investment company accounts (excluding the Fund) having assets of approximately $6.8 billion. Mr. Buckius was responsible for day-to-day management of 37 other accounts having assets of approximately $427.6 million in the aggregate, Mr. Toft was responsible for day-to-day management of 12 other accounts having assets of approximately $238 million in aggregate, Mr. Ashcraft was responsible for day- to- day management of 37 other accounts having asset of approximately $379.6 million in aggregate, and Mr. Trotta was responsible for day-to-day management of 20 other accounts having assets of approximately $282 million. None of the portfolio managers managed any accounts having a performance based investment advisory fee.

POTENTIAL MATERIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

As described above, the portfolio managers may manage other accounts with investment strategies similar to the Fund, including other investment companies and separately managed accounts. Fees earned by Gateway may vary among these accounts and the portfolio managers may personally invest in some but not all of these accounts. These factors could create conflicts of interest because a portfolio manager may have incentives to favor certain accounts over others, resulting in other accounts outperforming the Fund. A conflict may also exist if a portfolio manager identified a limited investment opportunity that may be appropriate for more than one account, but the Fund is not able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to the need to allocate that opportunity among multiple accounts. In addition, the portfolio manager may execute transactions for another account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by the Fund. However, Gateway believes that these risks are mitigated by the fact that accounts with like investment strategies managed by a particular portfolio manager are generally managed in a similar fashion, subject to exceptions to account for particular investment restrictions or policies applicable only to certain accounts, differences in cash flows and account sizes, and similar factors. In addition, Gateway has adopted trade allocation procedures that require equitable allocation of trade orders for a particular security among participating accounts.

ITEM 8(a)(3). FUND MANAGER COMPENSATION

As of the most recently completed fiscal year end, the primary Portfolio Managers’ compensation is as follows:

Messrs. Buckius, Toft, Ashcraft and Trotta are compensated for their services by Gateway. Their compensation is comprised of three parts: base salary; incentive compensation related to the profitability of Gateway (with management fees for the Fund and all other Gateway-managed accounts being asset-based, not performance-based, either absolutely or in relation to any benchmark); and a retirement plan. The incentive compensation component, comprised of both a long-term incentive pool and a short-term incentive pool, is anticipated to be larger than the base salary component. Certain portfolio managers are parties to employment agreements that provide for automatic renewals for successive one-calendar-year periods and, among other things, a specified base salary and certain undertakings not to compete with the Adviser or solicit its clients. The non-competition and non-solicitation undertakings will expire one year from the termination of employment.

Gateway Investment Advisers, LLC

Section II: Proxy Voting, Policy 4

PROXY VOTING POLICY

4.1

Overview

This proxy voting policy and related procedures apply to clients who desire Gateway Investment Advisers, LLC (Gateway) to vote proxies on their behalf, including registered investment companies advised (or sub-advised) by Gateway. Questions regarding this policy should be directed to Gateway’s CCO.

4.2

Introduction

Gateway recognizes that voting rights are financial assets of its clients and that they must be managed accordingly; with voting decisions being made in the best interests of its clients who wish Gateway to exercise such authority and of shareholders of the registered investment companies for which it acts as adviser or sub-adviser (hereinafter referred collectively as “Clients”). Gateway, in turn, has retained Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) as its proxy agent to recommend how to vote each proxy as well as administer the voting of proxies on behalf of Gateway.

4.3

Role of Proxy Voting Agent

Gateway has engaged ISS, an independent proxy voting service, to assist in the voting of proxies. ISS is responsible for coordinating with each Client’s custodian to ensure that all proxy ballots relating to a Client’s portfolio are processed in a timely manner. To accommodate this process, Gateway has instructed ISS to follow the ISS United States Proxy Voting Guidelines and to automatically vote in accordance with ISS’ vote recommendations no later than five (5) calendar days prior to the vote submission deadline without Gateway’s prior approval.

ISS, with its vast research capabilities, has developed its U.S. and global proxy voting guidelines, which provide vote recommendations for proxy voting, that are designed to serve the best interests of investors. These guidelines outline the rationale for determining how particular issues should be voted. Gateway’s CIO, on an annual basis, will determine whether ISS’ applicable proxy guidelines continue to be in the best interests of Gateway’s Clients. Gateway will instruct ISS to vote in accordance with these guidelines unless at least one of the following conditions apply:

Gateway’s portfolio management team has decided to override the ISS vote recommendation for a Client(s) based on its own determination that the Client(s) would best be served with a vote contrary to the ISS recommendation based on Gateway’s higher degree of analysis of ISS’ vote recommendation. Such decision(s) will be documented by Gateway (and communicated to ISS if a decision(s) led to a vote override). Gateway’s CIO will determine, on an annual basis, as to which classification level an ISS vote recommendation should be analyzed further by Gateway (which may include highly contested matters regarding mergers and acquisitions, dissolutions, conversions, consolidations, or contested elections of directors); or

Gateway’s portfolio management team has decided to override ISS’ vote recommendation for a Client(s) based on its own determination that the Client(s) would best be served with a vote contrary to ISS’ recommendation based on Gateway’s consideration of certain additional information. Specifically, in the event Gateway becomes aware that an issuer has filed additional soliciting material with

the SEC regarding ISS’ vote recommendation and if such additional information would reasonably be expected to affect Gateway’s voting determination, Gateway will consider this supplemental information if such additional material was submitted to Gateway via ISS no later than five (5) calendar days prior to the vote submission deadline. Only additional information from issuers that apply to the classification levels determined by the CIO would be considered information reasonably expected to affect Gateway’s voting determination. Information received within the five (5) calendar days before the cutoff time frame, but before the vote submission deadline, may be considered, but only on a best-efforts basis. Decision(s) as to whether this additional information affects whether or not Gateway follows ISS’ vote recommendation will be documented by Gateway (and communicated to ISS if the analysis led to a vote override); or

ISS does not give a vote recommendation, in which case Gateway will independently determine how a particular issue should be voted. In these instances, Gateway, through its portfolio management team, will document the reason(s) used in determining a vote and communicate Gateway’s voting instruction to ISS. Gateway will generally seek to vote in accordance with ISS’ guidelines; or

If voting on any particular security compromises Gateway’s ability to later transact in such security (e.g. shareblocking practices) or if, in Gateway’s judgment, the expected cost associated with the vote exceeds the expected benefits of the vote (e.g. non-U.S. security restrictions), then Gateway will abstain from voting on a particular security; or

If voting would impose costs on the Client, such as opportunity costs for the Client resulting from restricting the use of securities for lending in order to preserve the right to vote, then Gateway will not make efforts to vote these securities on behalf of the Client.

Conflicts of Interest

From time to time, Gateway or an employee or another affiliate of Gateway may have a conflict of interest with respect to a proxy vote. A conflict of interest may exist, for example, if Gateway has a business relationship (or potential business relationship) with either the company soliciting the proxy or a third party that has a material interest in the outcome of a proxy vote or that is actively lobbying for a particular outcome of a proxy vote. Any individual with knowledge of any actual or potential conflict of interest, such as a personal conflict of interest (e.g., familial relationship with company management) or of a business relationship (e.g., Gateway is the investment manager to a soliciting company), shall disclose that conflict to the Legal and Compliance Department. In the event of a reported conflict, the Legal and Compliance Department will determine and record how the proxies in question shall be voted; although it is expected that ISS vote recommendations will be followed unless a determination to vote contrary to ISS is documented.

From time to time, ISS experiences conflicts of interest with respect to proxy votes. A conflict of interest can exist, for example, if a subsidiary of ISS has a business consultant relationship with an issuer and ISS is determining a vote recommendation on the same issuer. Gateway has formalized due diligence processes in place to determine, on an annual basis, if ISS’ efforts to mitigate such conflicts are reasonable.
