About TESHX
Nuveen Short Term Bond Index Fund Retirement Class is an open‑end mutual fund designed to track the performance of a short‑maturity, investment‑grade bond benchmark. The fund seeks total return by holding U.S. dollar‑denominated bonds with limited interest‑rate sensitivity, emphasizing 1–3 year government and high‑quality corporate issues to mirror its index profile. According to the sponsor, it uses a sampling approach to closely match benchmark characteristics rather than owning every constituent, supporting efficient implementation across a broad bond universe. The portfolio’s core exposures center on U.S. Treasuries and investment‑grade credits, aiming to provide ballast within multi‑asset allocations and a conservative fixed income sleeve for investors prioritizing capital stability and liquidity over higher yield. Independent fund data providers classify it within the short‑term bond category, reflecting its effective duration in the lower range of the fixed income spectrum and its focus on credit quality. By delivering indexed access to short‑duration bonds with a transparent, rules‑based process and competitive fees, the fund plays a foundational role in cash management bridges, liability‑aware strategies, and risk‑controlled core bond allocations.
Performance
TESHX had a total return of 2.49% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 1.38%.
