About NPSCX

Nuveen Preferred Securities and Income Fund Class C is an open-end mutual fund that primarily targets a high level of current income and total return. The fund achieves this objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of preferred securities and other income-generating assets, including both $25 par retail and $1,000 par institutional preferred securities from U.S. and non-U.S. issuers. It spans the credit quality spectrum but generally holds at least 50% of its assets in investment-grade securities, with the flexibility to invest up to 50% in lower-rated or non-investment-grade issues to enhance yield potential. The fund is notable for its focus on the financial sector, with significant holdings in preferred stocks and hybrid securities issued by major banks and financial institutions such as Barclays, Banco Santander, and JPMorgan Chase. With total assets exceeding $5 billion, the fund plays a prominent role in providing income solutions for investors seeking exposure to the preferred securities market while balancing credit quality and interest rate sensitivity. Its Class C shares are designed for investors seeking a level-load fee structure and offer automatic conversion to Class A shares after eight years.
