Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund (NYSE: JRI) is a diversified, closed-end management investment company managed by Nuveen Advisors, LLC. The fund seeks to deliver a combination of income and capital growth by investing primarily in securities tied to real assets, including real estate investment trusts, infrastructure funds, master limited partnerships and other real asset-related equities. Launched on March 1, 2007, JRI provides investors with exposure to physical assets that can serve as an inflation hedge while pursuing consistent distribution streams.
The fund employs an active, research-driven approach to portfolio management, targeting high-quality issuers whose businesses benefit from long-term demand trends in sectors such as utilities, energy infrastructure, transportation and agriculture. JRI may use leverage to enhance its income potential and typically maintains an investment commitment of at least 80% of its assets in real asset equity and income securities. The flexible mandate allows the portfolio team to allocate across market capitalizations, geographies and real asset sub-sectors to capture value and growth opportunities.
JRI’s global investment scope encompasses North America, Europe and select emerging markets, reflecting the group’s view that diversification across regions can improve risk-adjusted returns. As part of Nuveen, a TIAA company with origins dating back to 1898, the fund benefits from access to proprietary research, local market expertise and a deep bench of portfolio professionals. This infrastructure supports the analysis of both public and private transactions in the real asset space.
Suitable for income-oriented investors seeking alternative sources of yield, Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund offers a monthly distribution policy and provides a vehicle for gaining diversified real asset exposure within a single, NYSE-listed fund. The fund’s structure and management platform aim to balance the pursuit of attractive yield with the potential for capital preservation over a full market cycle.
