NUVEEN REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND

# Nuveen Real Estate Income Fund

Launched in November 2001, this closed-ended equity mutual fund focuses exclusively on publicly traded real estate companies in the United States. The fund is managed by Security Capital Research & Management Incorporated and operates as a investment vehicle for shareholders seeking exposure to the real estate sector across all market capitalizations, with a stated emphasis on growth-oriented equity holdings.

The fund generates returns primarily through capital appreciation and dividend income from its portfolio of real estate equities. As a closed-ended fund structure, JRS issues a fixed number of shares that trade on the NYSE, distinguishing it from open-ended mutual funds. The investment strategy encompasses companies across the full spectrum of market caps within the U.S. real estate industry, providing diversified exposure to the sector.

Based in Chicago, Illinois, the fund operates as part of the Nuveen Investments platform, which manages assets across multiple investment strategies. With a current market capitalization of approximately $200 million, JRS represents a smaller-scale offering within the closed-end fund landscape. The fund's operations and portfolio management are conducted through the Nuveen Investments infrastructure, leveraging the broader organization's research and analytical capabilities for real estate securities.
