Example
The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost
of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated
and then either redeem or do
not redeem your shares at the end of a period. The example also assumes that your
investment has a 5% return each year and that the Funds operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would
be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund
pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held
in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Funds performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Funds portfolio turnover rate was 127% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in common stocks of large-capitalization companies, defined as companies that
have market capitalizations of $5 billion or greater at the time of purchase.
The sub-adviser will select companies based on a combination of value and
growth objectives, seeking companies that meet at least two of the following criteria:
|
|
Attractively valued relative to other companies in the same industry or market.
|
|
|
Strong or improving cash flows, revenue and earnings growth, or other fundamentals.
|
|
|
Strong competitive position.
|
|
|
An identifiable catalyst that could increase the value of the companys stock over the next one or two years.
|
The Funds sub-adviser will generally sell a stock if the stock hits its price target, the companys fundamentals or competitive position significantly
deteriorate, or if a better alternative exists in the marketplace.
The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in non-dollar denominated equity
securities of non-U.S. issuers. In addition, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets, collectively, in non-dollar denominated equity securities of non-U.S. issuers and in dollar-denominated equity securities of non-U.S. issuers that are either
listed on a U.S. stock exchange or represented by depositary receipts that may or may not be sponsored by a domestic bank. Up to 15% of the Funds total assets may be invested in equity securities of emerging market issuers. A country is
considered to be an emerging market if it is defined as such by Morgan Stanley Capital International Inc.
The Fund may utilize options,
futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (
derivatives
). The Fund may use these derivatives to manage market or business risk, enhance the Funds return, or hedge against
adverse movements in currency exchange rates.
Principal Risks
The value of your investment in this Fund will change daily, which means you could lose money. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation or any other government agency. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include:
Derivatives Risk
The use of derivatives
involves additional risks, such as liquidity, interest rate, counterparty, market, credit and management risks, and transaction costs which could leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments. Derivatives may entail
investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest. As a result, a small investment in derivatives could have a large impact on performance. Recent legislation requires the development of a new regulatory framework for the
derivatives market. The impact of the new regulations is still unknown, but has the potential to increase the costs of using derivatives, may limit the availability of some forms of derivatives or the Funds ability to use derivatives, and may
adversely affect the performance of some derivative instruments used by the Fund as well as the Funds ability to pursue its investment objective through the use of such instruments.
Equity Security Risk
Equity securities may decline significantly in price over short or extended periods of time, and such declines may occur in the equity market as a whole, or they may occur in only a
particular country, company, industry, or sector of the market.
Non-U.S./Emerging Markets Risk
Non-U.S. issuers or U.S. issuers with
significant non-U.S. operations may be subject to risks in addition to those of issuers located in or that principally operate in the United States as a result
of, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad and different legal, regulatory and tax environments. These additional risks may be heightened for securities of issuers
located in, or with significant operations in, emerging market countries. Also, changes in currency exchange rates may affect the Funds net asset value, the value of dividends and interest earned, and gains and losses realized on the sale of
securities.
Fund Performance
The following bar
chart and table provide some indication of the potential risks of investing in the Fund. The Funds past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance
information is available at www.nuveen.com/performance or by calling (800) 257-8787.
The bar chart below shows the variability of the Funds
performance from year to year for Class A shares. The performance of the other share classes will differ due to their different expense structures. The bar chart and highest/lowest quarterly returns that follow do not reflect sales charges, and
if these charges were reflected, the returns would be less than those shown.
Class A Annual Total Return
During the nine-year period ended December 31, 2012, the Funds highest and lowest quarterly returns were 17.42% and
-23.26%, respectively, for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
The table below shows the variability of the
Funds average annual returns and how they compare over the time periods indicated with those of a broad measure of market performance and an index of funds with similar investment objectives. All after-tax returns are calculated using the
historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. After-tax returns are shown for Class A shares only; after-tax returns for other share classes will vary. Your own actual
after-tax returns will depend on your specific tax situation and may differ from what is shown here. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold Fund shares in tax-deferred accounts such as IRAs or employer-sponsored retirement plans.
Both the bar chart and the table assume that all distributions have been reinvested. Performance reflects fee waivers, if any, in effect during the
periods presented. If any such waivers were not in place, returns would be reduced.

of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial advisor or visit your financial intermediarys website for more information.
