Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund (JCE) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund (NYSE: JCE) is an open-end management investment company and a series of The Nuveen Fund, designed to deliver long-term capital appreciation and a growing stream of dividend income. Established in 2014 as part of Nuveen’s suite of core equity products, JCE employs an active, research-driven approach to stock selection, drawing on Nuveen’s global asset-management platform and in-house equity research teams.

The fund primarily invests in large- and mid-capitalization equity securities of U.S. companies that exhibit attractive risk/return characteristics and the potential for dividend growth. Portfolio managers use fundamental, bottom-up analysis to identify firms with resilient business models, strong balance sheets and the capacity to increase payouts over time. JCE may also utilize derivatives for tactical risk management and to enhance alpha generation.

Managed out of Nuveen’s investment centers in Chicago and New York, the fund benefits from the resources of TIAA’s broader investment organization, which traces its asset-management roots back to the early 20th century. The multidisciplinary team overseeing the fund combines sector specialists and quantitative analysts who regularly engage with corporate management teams, third-party research providers and Nuveen’s global network of investment professionals.

While its core holdings are concentrated in U.S. equities, JCE has the flexibility to invest up to 20% of its assets in non-U.S. issuers through American Depositary Receipts and foreign-listed stocks. The fund’s disciplined emphasis on dividend growth and capital preservation seeks to help investors navigate varying market environments while pursuing consistent total returns over a full market cycle.
