About TLEQX
Nuveen Life Small Cap Equity Fund is a mutual fund focused on investing in the equities of smaller U.S. companies. Its primary objective is to seek favorable long-term total returns, chiefly through capital appreciation. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its assets to small-cap equity securities that fall within the market capitalization range of the companies in the Russell 2000 Index at the time of purchase. Its investment approach spans a broad spectrum of sectors, growth rates, and valuations, allowing participation in diverse areas of the U.S. economy. Managed by a team integrating the expertise of financial analysts and experienced portfolio managers, the fund uses a disciplined strategy to identify small-cap firms with promising growth potential. Because small-cap stocks tend to be more volatile than large-cap equities, the fund may experience significant price fluctuations, offering both unique opportunities and risks. The Nuveen Life Small Cap Equity Fund is positioned as a vehicle for investors seeking exposure to the dynamic small-cap segment of the U.S. equity market, aiming to harness the growth prospects of emerging and expanding businesses.
