Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund

# Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund

A closed-ended equity mutual fund, JCE is launched and managed by Nuveen Investments Inc., a subsidiary of Nuveen, a major U.S. asset manager. The fund invests primarily in U.S. large-cap equities drawn from the S&P 500 Index, with portfolio construction guided by quantitative analysis. The fund employs derivatives including futures and options to supplement its equity holdings. Performance is benchmarked against the S&P 500 Index.

The fund is co-managed by three entities: Nuveen Fund Advisors LLC, Nuveen Asset Management LLC, and INTECH Investment Management. Its investment universe spans diversified sectors within the large-cap equity space. As a closed-end fund structure, JCE issues a fixed number of shares traded on public markets rather than operating as an open-end mutual fund with daily creation and redemption of shares.

The fund was established in March 2007 and is domiciled in the United States. Nuveen Investments, its parent, operates as part of a larger financial services organization with significant assets under management. The fund's specific employee count and detailed financial metrics are not separately disclosed, as operational functions are typically consolidated within the parent organization.
