About TCTHX

Nuveen Short Term Bond Fund Class I is an open‑end mutual fund focused on **short‑duration, investment‑grade fixed income**. Its primary objective is **current income** while emphasizing capital preservation by investing predominantly in a blend of U.S. Treasuries, agency securities, and investment‑grade corporate bonds, with an average maturity of **less than five years**. The strategy maintains at least **80%** of assets in U.S. government and investment‑grade fixed‑income instruments, providing diversified exposure to high‑quality credit and interest‑rate risk at the front end of the curve. The portfolio may also allocate selectively to emerging‑market and non‑U.S. dollar debt, adding incremental income sources within defined risk limits. Class I shares are intended for institutional platforms and certain intermediaries, aligning cost structure and access with professional distribution channels. Positioned within the short‑term bond category, the fund serves as a core defensive fixed‑income allocation, aiming to temper volatility relative to broader bond markets while delivering a consistent income profile through disciplined duration management and rigorous credit selection.
