U.S. Corporate Bond 1-10 Year Ladder

U.S. Corporate Bond 1-10 Year Ladder

Strategy description

1-10 Year U.S. Corporate Bond Ladder seeks to provide current income and regular maturities by building an equally-weighted portfolio of high quality corporate securities based on the designated maturity range that will be typically held to maturity or sold as they reach minimum maturity.

Investment process

The corporate bond 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

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 $250,000 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.

Important information on risk

There is no assurance that an investment will provide positive performance over any period of time. All investments carry a certain degree of risk and it is important to review investment objectives, risk tolerance, tax liability and liquidity needs before choosing an investment style or manager. Fixed income investments emphasize U.S. government agency debt securities. Debt or fixed income securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk. The value of and income generated by debt securities will decrease or increase based on changes in market interest rates. Credit risk refers to an issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments when due

The proposed strategies’ target characteristics are subject to change without notice. There is no guarantee the strategies will meet their investment objectives. Please note that Nuveen Laddered Strategies may not lend themselves to certaintypes of customizations including, but not limited to: sector restrictions, requests to replace individual bonds, and certain client trading such as tax sales. These strategies do not utilize the opportunistic and more active trading approach found incertain other Nuveen bond strategies. The laddered bonds will typically be held to maturity in the absence of material credit events, contributions/ withdrawals and calls. The maturity range is typically segmented into 1-2 year ranges (“rungs”) inwhich Nuveen will purchase bonds creating a “ladder” of individual bonds. As bonds mature (or are called) and cash is generated in the account, Nuveen will purchase additional bonds in the longest available rung within the strategy’s bond maturityrange.
