About TBILX
Nuveen Bond Index Fund A is an open-end mutual fund that aims to replicate the performance of the broad U.S. investment-grade bond market. Its primary purpose is to provide investors with total return, mainly derived from income, by investing in a diversified portfolio of high-quality bonds. The fund closely tracks a comprehensive bond market index through a sampling strategy, allowing it to match the benchmark’s characteristics while maintaining operational efficiency. The fund's portfolio consists almost entirely of domestic bonds—nearly 99.4%—and does not hold stocks, preferred shares, or convertible securities. It covers thousands of individual bond issues, with its largest allocations in various U.S. Treasury notes and a wide mix of other investment-grade bonds. Foreign securities are included only if denominated in U.S. dollars and eligible for the index. Positioned within the U.S. Fixed Income category, the fund serves as a core holding for investors seeking broad, passive exposure to the American bond market. It is suitable for diversified portfolios that aim to balance income generation with market risk management by reflecting the overall characteristics and yield patterns of the U.S. investment-grade debt universe.
