Nuveen Equity Index Fund I Class (TEIHX)

Nuveen Equity Index Fund I is a passively managed mutual fund designed to track the performance of the broad U.S. equity market. The fund primarily seeks long-term total return through capital appreciation, investing at least 80% of its assets in equity securities included in its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index. This index is composed of a wide array of large-, mid-, and small-cap U.S. companies, collectively representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. By mirroring this index, the fund aims to provide investors with diversified exposure across various sectors and industries within the U.S. economy. The fund employs a sampling technique, purchasing most—but not necessarily all—of the stocks in the index to closely replicate its performance while managing costs. With assets under management exceeding $50 billion and a low expense ratio, Nuveen Equity Index Fund I plays a significant role for investors seeking a core holding that reflects the movement and composition of the overall U.S. stock market in a cost-effective manner.
