About NPSRX
Nuveen Preferred Securities and Income Fund Class I is a mutual fund that focuses on delivering a high level of current income and total return. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its net assets in preferred securities, targeting both $25 par retail and $1000 par institutional issues. Its portfolio includes holdings from a broad credit quality spectrum, generally emphasizing securities rated BBB or higher. This approach provides exposure to both U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, diversifying across corporate sectors such as financial services and insurance. The fund holds more than 65% of its assets in preferred stocks and perpetual bonds, which typically offer higher yields than traditional government bonds but come with greater credit risk and longer effective durations. With an institutional share class and a sizeable asset base, the fund plays an important role for investors seeking regular income streams and moderate total return, particularly within the preferred securities sector of the fixed income market.
