About NCFCX
Nuveen High Yield Income Fund Class C is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with both current income and the potential for capital appreciation. It primarily invests in a diverse portfolio of debt instruments, including bonds and loans, with a significant emphasis on securities rated below investment grade—also known as "high yield" or "junk" bonds. This focus targets issuers that offer higher yields to compensate for greater credit risk, making the fund particularly sensitive to economic and credit market conditions. The fund is actively managed and currently features a team with deep experience in high-yield and leveraged finance markets. With a monthly payout schedule and a recent yield in the mid-6% range, it appeals to investors seeking consistent income. Nuveen High Yield Income Fund Class C typically holds over 200 securities, diversifying exposure across U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, and maintains an effective duration that reflects its sensitivity to interest rate changes. Since its inception in 2010, the fund has played a role in the high-yield segment of the fixed income market, offering access to riskier corporate debt and the potential for enhanced returns relative to investment grade alternatives.
Performance
NCFCX had a total return of 7.82% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 4.61%.
