Nuveen meets growing investor demand for access to private markets strategies

Nuveen, a leading global asset manager with $1.3 trillion in assets under management, has further unlocked access to its $300 billion alternatives platform with the introduction of two in-demand private market strategies to qualified individual investors in Europe and Asia.

The strategies will be available through select intermediary platforms, providing the following exposure to Nuveen's $142 billion real estate and $80 billion private credit platforms respectively:

• A global cities real estate strategy that invests in commercial real estate properties and aims to provide investors with income and growth from the world's most dynamic cities
• A European private credit direct lending strategy in collaboration with Arcmont Asset Management, a leading European private debt asset management firm, that seeks to capitalise on a consolidating lending market and bank retrenchment by sourcing highquality mid-market opportunities across a diverse and underpenetrated region.

"These launches directly address the surging appetite of individual investors for private markets strategies, which is a trend we're seeing globally," said Jeff Carlin, Head of Global Wealth Advisory Services at Nuveen. "They come at a transformative moment when the wealth management industry is fundamentally reimagining portfolio construction - incorporating alternatives that may offer investors an opportunity to enhance resilience and pursue compelling risk-adjusted returns amid today's unprecedented market complexity."

The expansion builds upon Nuveen's established position as a leader in alternative investments. In addition to the two strategies announced today, Nuveen has previously made exposure to farmland and agricultural assets, collaterialized loan obligations and U.S. middle market private capital available to qualified individual wealth investors.

"This approach further exemplifies our focus on designing and delivering innovative solutions to make private credit accessible to a wider investor base," said Anthony Fobel, Chief Executive Officer, Arcmont. "Our size, scale and Pan-European network, backed by Nuveen's global platform, means that we are well positioned to continue to deploy capital as a partner of choice. As demand for differentiated income and diversification grows, our role is to facilitate access while helping broaden participation in this asset class. We see ourselves not just as providers, but as a pioneer in the market - shaping how private capital connects with a new generation of investors."
