Customized Taxable Fixed Income

Customized Taxable Fixed Income

Strategy description

Taxable bond investing customization
Investors increasingly desire an active role in identifying solutions that may help satisfy their financial objectives. Nuveen offers access to the expertise of a leading portfolio management team with flexibility to customize portfolios to meet individual client needs.

Investment process

Nuveen seeks to optimize value through the careful analysis of fundamentals, technical and valuations. We use fundamental macroeconomic analysis and fair value models to identify opportunities along the yield curve. We believe strong long-term performance may be achieved by focusing on three key return drivers: interest rate sensitivity, yield-curve positioning and sector/security selection.

Ladders are built based on the designated maturity range. The portfolio positions are monitored for credit worthiness, without active trading occurring unless warranted by credit events or client needs. The global fixed income team maintains the designated maturity by purchasing new bonds at the longest available maturity in the range to replace those that reach the maturity minimum. Portfolio managers also may invest in callable bonds, which if called prior to maturity, will generate the need to reinvest the proceeds to maintain the composition of the specified laddered portfolio.

Literature and resources

1Higher account minimum may apply.

A separately managed account (SMA) is a private portfolio of actively managed, individual securities that may be customized to achieve an individual investor's unique objectives.

SMA accounts typically require a minimum investment of $100,000 for equity and asset allocation strategies and $350,000 for fixed income strategies, although the specific minimum account size varies by program and may be subject to change. The manager may waive these minimums based on client type, asset class, pre-existing relationship with client and other factors. For certain accounts, a negotiated minimum annual fee applies. Please consult with your Nuveen Advisor Consultant for applicable minimums.

All investments carry a certain degree of risks and it is important to review investment objectives, risk tolerance, tax-liability and liquidity needs before choosing an investment style or manager.

Responsible investing incorporates Environmental Social Governance (ESG) factors that may affect exposure to issuers, sectors, industries, limiting the type and number of investment opportunities available, which could result in excluding investments that perform well. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) refers to three central factors in measuring the sustainability and ethical impact of an investment in a company or business.
