About NPSAX
Nuveen Preferred Securities and Income Fund Class A is a mutual fund designed to deliver a high level of current income and total return by investing primarily in preferred securities and other income-generating assets. Its core strategy mandates that at least 80% of assets are allocated to preferred securities, spanning both $25 par retail and $1000 par institutional issues from U.S. and international issuers. The fund diversifies across the credit quality spectrum, maintaining a minimum of 50% in investment-grade securities while permitting up to 50% in below-investment-grade holdings. A notable portion—at least 25%—is typically invested in companies primarily engaged in the financial services sector, reflecting the concentration of preferred securities in this industry. Through this approach, the fund provides investors with exposure to a distinct asset class that can offer diversified income and stability relative to common equities, making it a significant component for those seeking steady distributable income within the broader fixed-income universe.
Performance
NPSAX had a total return of 8.76% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 5.01%.
