About Nuveen LLC

John Nuveen’s first deal was recorded in 1898. Capitalizing on a unique niche in municipal bonds, the company grew quickly. By mid-century, the Chicago-based investment bank was the largest municipal bond specialist in America. By 2014 when Nuveen Investments was acquired by TIAA, the firm managed approximately $231 billion in client assets and was a market leader in closed-end funds and the retail managed account arena, and had also recently expanded its suite of mutual funds — more than doubling its offering of non-municipal bond funds. Today, the company manages over $940 Billion in assets.

Our heritage ensures that TIAA and Nuveen’s concurrent 100-year histories of innovation and successful outcomes are put to work for the investors who depend on us.
