“Although the financial markets have been challenging over the last several years, we at Nuveen Investments
have continued to grow assets under management to $80 billion and deliver high-quality, consistent earn-
ings growth. Our success, in part, can be attributed to our 100-year-old investment philosophy that combines
our conservative heritage of risk management with the deep specialization of each of our investment teams.
Unlike many of our competitors, who seek to maximize returns, our primary goal is to deliver consistently
competitive returns with below-benchmark risk. Our unifying risk management philosophy permeates
our four specialty branded investment teams: NWQ value, Nuveen municipals, Rittenhouse growth and
Symphony market-neutral alternative investments. All four are highly trusted by investors with a reputation
for quality and deep specialization. Today, more than ever, financial advisors and consultants, along with
their clients, need to effectively manage risk through all market cycles. At Nuveen Investments we are
well positioned to meet their needs with the value, growth and income-oriented core components of a
conservative, well-diversified portfolio.”
—Tim Schwertfeger, chief executive officer, Nuveen Investments
