A diversity of viewpoints is key in accomplishing this, and the team combines insights from many voices in the organization, including the Fixed-Income Strategy Committee, Sector Teams, and the Lead Portfolio Manager.

Nuveen was recognized for its rigorous, research-driven approach when analyzing key factors such as fundamentals, technicals, and valuation. At the same time, the firm is flexible and opportunistic in its implementation.
