Partnering with mutual fund tracking firm Lipper, the Barron’s mutual fund family survey ranks best overall fund family performance. Nuveen was named among the top five in the list of best mutual fund families in Barron’s 2010 survey. In Barron’s 2011 survey, Nuveen ranked #10 among 53 mutual fund families and #24 among 46 mutual fund families for the five-year and ten-year periods ending December 31, 2010, respectively. Barron's is published by Dow Jones and Company.

To qualify for the Barron’s/Lipper Fund Survey, a fund group must have at least three funds in Lipper’s general U.S. Stock category as well as one in world equity, which combines global and international funds and one mixed equity fund, which holds stock and bonds; two taxable bond funds, and one tax-exempt offering. Fund returns include reinvested dividends and capital gains and do not reflect sales charges. It is important to note that past performance is no guarantee of future results.
