KBRA Assigns AA- Rating With Stable Outlook to Canutillo Independent School District, Texas, Unlimited School Building Bonds, Series 2025

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA assigns a long-term rating of AA- with a Stable Outlook to the Canutillo Independent School District, Texas, Unlimited Tax School Building Bonds, Series 2025. Credit Positives The District's strong growth trends in terms of population and tax base valuation due to its location along the important Interstate-10 corridor. Sound level of reserves with an unassigned fund balance ratio of 17.7% as of the end of fiscal year 2024. Experienced management team and sound polices to guide the District through current financial challenges. Credit Challenges Stagnant enrollment and strong competition from neighboring districts which may increase with the implementation of Texas' private school voucher program that may further syphon from the District's student base. Stable revenue trend with limited flexibility to generate additional resources based on state school funding restrictions in the face of increasing expenses, resulting in recent operating deficits. Already high and increasing debt burden as District implements multi-year capital program to relocate and reconstruct its aging school infrastructure. Rating Sensitivities For Upgrade: Increased enrollment resulting in generation of additional revenues based on state's per student funding formula producing consistent operating surpluses without the use of one-time revenues. Growth in reserves to a level that is consistently above District's 90 days of expenditures policy target. For Downgrade: Continued trend in operating deficits resulting in unassigned reserves falling below 10% on a sustained basis. Decreasing enrollment trend resulting from increased competition that erodes revenue generation and increases financial pressure on the District. Construction risk associated with current capital plan resulting in significant increased costs prompting need for additional debt beyond current authorization.

Nuveen Closed-End Funds Declare Distributions and Nuveen Multi-Asset Income Fund Announces Change from Quarterly to Monthly Regular Distributions

NEW YORK, June 02, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Several Nuveen closed-end funds have declared distributions. These funds represent investment strategies for investors seeking diversified sources of cash flow to prepare for and sustain their retirement income needs. For further information regarding fund distributions, including earnings, undistributed net investment income, and notices, please visit Shareholders can expect regular distribution information to be posted on on the first business day of each month. To ensure that our shareholders have access to the latest information, timely distribution and fund updates can be subscribed to at under the closed-end funds tab of the Product Documents section. You can also follow updates by navigating to the Closed-End Fund section of our Resource Center, located at The Nuveen Multi-Asset Income Fund (NYSE: NMAI) today announced the Board of Trustees of the Fund has approved a change in the fund's regular distribution frequency from quarterly to monthly beginning with the distribution payable on July 1, 2025. The change to a monthly regular distribution is intended to broaden the appeal of the Fund to cash flow focused investors. The fund is changing its regular distribution amount from $0.4175 per quarter to a regular monthly distribution amount of $0.1260, which reflects a roughly 9 percent reduction on a monthly equivalent basis. The fund's monthly distribution amount per share is listed in the table below. Monthly & Quarterly Distributions The funds listed in the tables below have adopted a policy to make regular monthly or quarterly cash distributions to holders of its common shares (stated in terms of a fixed cents per common share dividend distribution rate which may be set from time to time). Each Fund intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net investment income each year through its regular monthly or quarterly distribution and to distribute realized capital gains at least annually. In addition, in any monthly or quarterly period, to maintain its declared per common share distribution amount, each Fund may distribute more or less than its net investment income during the period. In the event a Fund distributes more than its net investment income during any yearly period, such distributions may also include realized gains and/or a return of capital. To the extent that a distribution includes a return of capital the NAV per share may erode. If a distribution includes anything other than net investment income, the fund provides a notice of the best estimate of its distribution sources at the time of the distribution which may be viewed at These estimates may not match the final tax characterization (for the full year's distributions) contained in shareholders' 1099-DIV forms after the end of the year. You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of the distribution. A distribution including return of capital does not necessarily reflect a Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with "yield" or "income." The following dates apply to today's distribution declarations for the following closed-end funds: Record Date June 13, 2025 Ex-Dividend Date June 13, 2025 Payable Date July 1, 2025 Monthly Distribution Per Share Ticker Exchange Fund Name Amount Change from Previous Month National Municipal NXP NYSE Nuveen Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio $0.0520 - NUV NYSE Nuveen Municipal Value Fund, Inc. $0.0325 - NUW NYSE Nuveen AMT-Free Municipal Value Fund $0.0485 - NMI NYSE Nuveen Municipal Income Fund, Inc. $0.0380 - NIM NYSE Nuveen Select Maturities Municipal Fund $0.0275 - NZF NYSE Nuveen Municipal Credit Income Fund $0.0795 - NMZ NYSE Nuveen Municipal High Income Opportunity Fund $0.0655 - NAD NYSE Nuveen Quality Municipal Income Fund $0.0755 - NEA NYSE Nuveen AMT-Free Quality Municipal Income Fund $0.0730 - NVG NYSE Nuveen AMT-Free Municipal Credit Income Fund $0.0790 - NMCO NYSE Nuveen Municipal Credit Opportunities Fund $0.0685 - NDMO NYSE Nuveen Dynamic Municipal Opportunities Fund $0.0620 - California Municipal NAC NYSE Nuveen California Quality Municipal Income Fund $0.0735 - NKX NYSE Nuveen California AMT-Free Quality Municipal Income Fund $0.0760 - NCA NYSE Nuveen California Municipal Value Fund $0.0290 - NXC NYSE Nuveen California Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio $0.0455 - New York Municipal NRK NYSE Nuveen New York AMT-Free Quality Municipal Income Fund $0.0690 - NAN NYSE Nuveen New York Quality Municipal Income Fund $0.0720 - NXN NYSE Nuveen New York Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio $0.0420 - NNY NYSE Nuveen New York Municipal Value Fund $0.0295 - Other State Municipal Funds NAZ NYSE Nuveen Arizona Quality Municipal Income Fund $0.0725 - NMT NYSE Nuveen Massachusetts Quality Municipal Income Fund $0.0710 - NMS NYSE Nuveen Minnesota Quality Municipal Income Fund $0.0735 - NOM NYSE Nuveen Missouri Quality Municipal Income Fund $0.0675 - NXJ NYSE Nuveen New Jersey Quality Municipal Income Fund $0.0785 - NQP NYSE Nuveen Pennsylvania Quality Municipal Income Fund $0.0780 - NPV NYSE Nuveen Virginia Quality Municipal Income Fund $0.0720 - Preferred and Income Securities JPC NYSE Nuveen Preferred & Income Opportunities Fund $0.0665 - JPI NYSE Nuveen Preferred and Income Term Fund $0.1660 - NPFD NYSE Nuveen Variable Rate Preferred & Income Fund $0.1675 - Taxable Municipals NBB NYSE Nuveen Taxable Municipal Income Fund $0.0965 - Floating Rate JFR NYSE Nuveen Floating Rate Income Fund $0.0850 - JQC NYSE Nuveen Credit Strategies Income Fund $0.0540 - Mortgage-Backed Securities JMM NYSE Nuveen Multi-Market Income Fund $0.0290 - JLS NYSE Nuveen Mortgage and Income Fund $0.1535 - Global High Yield Debt JGH NYSE Nuveen Global High Income Fund $0.1035 - Real Assets JRI* NYSE Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund $0.1335 - Taxable Fixed Income-Multi-Sector NPCT NYSE Nuveen Core Plus Impact Fund $0.1075 -$0.0115 Multi-Asset NMAI* NYSE Nuveen Multi-Asset Income Fund $0.1260 -$0.013167** *The funds indicated above are currently relying on exemptive relief from Section 19(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). **Regular distribution frequency changed from quarterly to monthly. Amount reflects the change in per share amount over the prior distribution on a monthly equivalent basis. Quarterly Managed Distributions The fund's listed in the tables below have adopted a "managed distribution" policy. The goal of each fund's managed distribution policy is to provide shareholders relatively consistent and predictable cash flow by systematically converting expected long-term return potential into regular distributions. Distribution sources may include net investment income, realized gains and return of capital. If a distribution includes anything other than net investment income, the fund provides a notice of the best estimate of its distribution sources at that time which may be viewed at These estimates may not match the final tax characterization contained in shareholders' 1099-DIV forms after the end of the year. Under a Managed Distribution policy, Nuveen closed-end funds seek to maintain a stable regular distribution amount that, over the long term, matches the fund's total distributions paid to its total return. Investors should not draw any conclusions about a fund's past or future investment performance from its current distribution rate or from the terms of its Managed Distribution Policy. Actual returns likely will differ from projected long-term returns, (and therefore a fund's distribution rate, also), at least over shorter time periods. Over a specific timeframe, a fund's net asset value will increase (if returns exceed distributions), or decrease (if distributions exceed returns), by the difference between actual returns and total distributions. A return of capital is a non-taxable distribution of a portion of the fund's capital. When a fund's returns exceed distributions, return of capital may represent portfolio gains earned, but not realized as a taxable capital gain. In periods when a fund's returns fall short of distributions, it will represent a portion of the investors' original principal unless the shortfall is offset during other time periods over the life of the investment (previous or subsequent) when the fund's total return exceeds distributions. For additional information about managed distributions, please see Understanding Managed Distributions. The following dates apply to today's declarations: Record Date June 13, 2025 Ex-Dividend Date June 13, 2025 Payable Date July 1, 2025 Quarterly Distribution Per Share Change From Ticker Exchange Fund Name Amount Previous Quarter Domestic Equity JCE* NYSE Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund $0.3200 - Covered Call DIAX* NYSE Nuveen Dow 30SM Dynamic Overwrite Fund $0.3010 - BXMX* NYSE Nuveen S&P 500 Buy-Write Income Fund $0.2725 - QQQX* NASDAQ Nuveen NASDAQ 100 Dynamic Overwrite Fund $0.5600 - SPXX* NYSE Nuveen S&P 500 Dynamic Overwrite Fund $0.3375 - Real Assets JRS* NYSE Nuveen Real Estate Income Fund $0.1700 - *The funds indicated above are currently relying on exemptive relief from Section 19(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). Information regarding each fund's last 19(a) Distribution Notice (as of February 28, 2025) is also included below. This informational notice provides further details on the sources of fund distributions. The full text of this notice is also available on the Nuveen website via Distribution Source Estimates. The following table provides estimates of the Funds' distribution sources, reflecting year-to-date cumulative experience through the month-end prior to the latest distribution. The Funds attribute these estimates equally to each regular distribution throughout the year. Consequently, the estimated information as of the specified month-end shown below is for the current distribution, and also represents an updated estimate for all prior months in the year. It is estimated that JRS, QQQX, SPXX and BXMX have distributed more than their income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of the distributions may be (and is shown below as being estimated to be) a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with "yield" or "income." The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this 19(a) Notice are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon each Fund's investment experience during the remainder of the fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Each Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report distributions for federal income tax purposes.
