Nuveen Dividend Value Fund Class A (FFEIX)

Overview

The fund is dedicated to providing investors with the opportunity to partake in the growth and income potential of a broad range of dividend-paying equity securities. With a strategy that focuses on long-term capital growth and income, the fund positions itself as an ideal choice for investors looking to balance their desire for asset appreciation with the need for income. By committing at least 80% of its assets and any borrowed funds for investment purposes in dividend-yielding equities, the fund signifies a robust approach to achieving its financial objectives. The inclusive strategy of also investing in convertible securities adds a layer of diversification and potential for growth and income. Additionally, the allowance of up to 15% of its total assets to be invested in non-dollar denominated equity securities from non-U.S. issuers opens avenues for global exposure and the potential for international market gains.

Products and Services

• Dividend-Paying Equity Securities

  Investment in dividend-paying equity securities forms the core of the fund's strategy, enabling investors to potentially benefit from regular income alongside the possibility of capital appreciation. This focus on dividend-yielding stocks is designed to attract those looking for steady income streams from their investments.

• Convertible Securities

  The fund's investment in convertible securities represents a strategic move to tap into both growth and income opportunities. Convertible securities offer the potential for price appreciation similar to that of equity securities, while also providing income through interest payments, making them an attractive option for diversified investment portfolios.

• Non-Dollar Denominated Equity Securities

  Allocating up to 15% of its total assets in non-dollar denominated equity securities of non-U.S. issuers allows the fund to diversify its investment portfolio geographically. This strategy not only mitigates the risk associated with investing in a single market but also provides investors the chance to benefit from the growth potential in international markets.
