About TSTPX

Nuveen Short Term Bond Fund (Premier) is an open‑end mutual fund focused on generating current income while maintaining relatively low interest‑rate sensitivity. The strategy centers on a diversified mix of U.S. Treasuries, agency securities, and investment‑grade corporate bonds, with an average maturity of less than five years to help manage duration risk and dampen volatility across market cycles. The portfolio may selectively include non‑U.S. dollar and emerging‑markets debt, providing measured exposure to global fixed income while staying within an investment‑grade framework. Positioned in the short‑term segment of the bond market, the fund aims to serve as a core defensive holding for investors seeking stability of principal alongside income, and as a complement to intermediate and long‑duration bond allocations. Its process emphasizes risk‑adjusted performance and broad security selection across sectors and issuers, reflecting a structured approach to liquidity, credit quality, and yield sources typical of short‑duration fixed‑income mandates. Essential for cash management and interest‑rate diversification, the fund’s role is to bridge the gap between money market funds and longer‑maturity bond strategies within a diversified fixed‑income allocation.
