About NWQCX

Nuveen Flexible Income Fund Class C is a multisector bond mutual fund designed to provide current income and capital appreciation by investing across a broad range of corporate securities. The fund primarily allocates at least 80% of its net assets to income-producing instruments, with a minimum of 65% invested in preferred and debt securities. A distinguishing feature of the fund is its flexibility to invest in both investment-grade and below-investment-grade securities, commonly referred to as 'high yield' or 'junk' bonds, as well as up to half its assets in dollar-denominated securities issued by non-U.S. companies. This diversified approach gives the fund significant exposure to a variety of credit qualities, sectors, and geographies, aiming to capitalize on relative value and risk assessments throughout changing market cycles. Nuveen Flexible Income Fund Class C plays an important role for investors seeking diversified income streams in the fixed income market. As of its latest reporting, the fund manages over $850 million in assets, pays monthly dividends, and carries a high risk rating due to its allocation to lower-rated credits and global exposure.
