The Nuveen Real Estate Income Fund (JRS) is a closed-end investment vehicle, sponsored by Nuveen Investments Inc. and sub-advised by Security Capital Research & Management Incorporated. Its primary objective is to invest in publicly traded U.S. equities, with a specific focus on the real estate sector. The fund typically seeks out growth-oriented companies across the entire spectrum of market capitalizations. Established on November 15, 2001, the fund is domiciled in the United States.
