Nuveen

Founded in 1898 as John Nuveen & Company, Nuveen is today a leading global investment manager headquartered in Chicago and a wholly-owned subsidiary of TIAA. Over more than a century of evolution, the firm has grown into a multi-asset powerhouse, managing roughly US$1.4 trillion in assets across public and private markets as of 2025.

Within its broad investment platform, Nuveen operates a large real-estate and real-assets arm — Nuveen Real Estate — which manages approximately US$140 billion globally in real estate assets (both equity and debt), spanning multiple regions and property types. Their real-estate strategy is diversified: the firm invests across core, value-add, and opportunistic assets; across sectors including multifamily housing, industrial, office, retail, alternative real-estate types; and pursues both equity and debt investments.

Beyond real estate, Nuveen offers a full suite of investment solutions: infrastructure and natural-capital (such as farmland and timberland), private credit, equities, fixed income and multi-asset portfolios — making it a one-stop asset manager offering diversified exposure and scalability. With its long history, global reach, diversified portfolio, and institutional backing from TIAA, Nuveen remains a go-to partner for institutional investors, large pension funds, and high-net-worth clients seeking long-term, diversified investment solutions.
