Performance shown is historical and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher. Because share<br />
price, principal value, and return will vary, you may have a gain or loss when you sell fund shares. For current month-end performance<br />
information, call 800.257.8787. Performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. “Without sales charge”<br />
performance does not reflect the current maximum sales charge. Had the sales charge been included, the fund's returns would have been<br />
lower. Class R3 shares have no sales charge and are available only to certain retirement plan clients. Class I shares have no sales charge<br />
and may be purchased by specified classes of investors.<br />

RISK CONSIDERATIONS<br />
Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Equity investments such as those held by the Fund, are subject to market risk and derivatives risk; dividends are not<br />
guaranteed. Foreign investments involve additional risks, including currency fluctuation, political and economic instability, lack of liquidity and differing legal and accounting standards.<br />
These risks are magnified in emerging markets. In addition, the fund invests in debt or fixed income securities that are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk. Below investment grade or<br />
high yield debt securities are subject to heightened credit risk, liquidity risk and potential for default.<br />
An investor should carefully consider the Fund's objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. For a prospectus containing this and other information about the<br />
Fund, please contact your financial advisor or <strong>Nuveen</strong> Investments at 800.257.8787. Read the prospectus carefully before you invest or send money.<br />
For the period ended March 31, 2012, Morningstar rated this Fund's I and A shares, for the overall, three-, five-, and 10-year periods. The Class I sharesreceived4,4,5,and4starsandthe<br />
Class A shares received 4, 3, 4, and 4 stars among 1098, 1098, 973, and 570 Large Value Funds, respectively (derived from a weighted average of the fund's three-, five-, and 10-year [if<br />
applicable] risk-adjusted return measures and Morningstar Ratings metrics). These ratings are for Class I and A shares only; other classes may have different performance characteristics.<br />
Investment performance reflects applicable fee waivers. Without such waivers, total returns would be reduced and ratings could be lower. For funds with at least a three-year history, a<br />
Morningstar Rating is based on a risk-adjusted return measure (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees) with emphasis on downward variations and consistent<br />
performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% 4 stars, the next 35% 3 stars, the next 22.5% 2 stars, and the bottom 10% 1 star. Each share class is<br />
counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately. ©2012 Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved. The information contained herein: (1) is proprietary to Morningstar<br />

GLOSSARY<br />
Average Weighted Market Capitalization is the portfolio-weighted geometric average capitalizations of all equity securities. Beta is a measure of the volatility of a portfolio relative to<br />
the overall market. A beta less than 1.0 indicates lower risk than the market; a beta greater than 1.0 indicates higher risk than the market. Lipper Equity Income Classification Average<br />
represents the average annualized total return for all reporting funds in the Classification. Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with<br />
lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. P/E Ratio of a stock is calculated by dividing the current price of the stock by its forecasted 12 months' earnings per share.<br />
The average of the price/earnings ratio of a fund is a weighted harmonic average of all the current P/E ratios (excluding negatives) of the stocks in the fund's portfolio. This should not be<br />
construed as a forecast of the Fund's performance. Standard Deviation is a statistical measure of the historical volatility of a mutual fund or portfolio; the higher the number the greater<br />
the risk. Turnover Ratio is a measure of the Fund’s trading activity computed by taking the lesser of purchases or sales (excluding all securities with maturities of less than one year) and<br />
dividing by average monthly assets.<br />
