Nuveen Corporate Income 2023 Target Term Fund Announces Wind-Up Period
June 01 2023 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Nuveen Corporate Income 2023 Target Term Fund (NYSE: JHAA) has
entered the wind-up period in anticipation of its termination date.
The fund is a “target term” fund that will cease its investment
operations and liquidate its portfolio on or about December 1, 2023
and distribute the net proceeds to shareholders, unless the term is
extended for a period of up to six months by a vote of the fund’s
Board of Trustees.
The fund has the investment objective to provide a high level of
current income and to return the fund’s original $9.875 net asset
value to shareholders at termination. Based on current market
conditions, the fund does not anticipate returning the Original NAV
at its termination. The investment objective relating to Original
NAV is not a guarantee and is dependent on a number of factors
including the extent of market recovery and the cumulative level of
income retained in relation to cumulative portfolio gains net of
losses.
Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its
managed assets in corporate debt securities. During the wind-up
period the fund may deviate from its investment objectives and
policies and may invest up to 100% of its managed assets in high
quality, short-term securities. High quality, short-term securities
include securities rated investment grade (BBB-/Baa3 or higher or
unrated but judged by the fund’s subadviser to be of comparable
quality) with a final or remaining maturity of 397 days or less.
Consequently, for the remainder of its term, the fund will invest
at least 80% of its managed assets in (i) corporate debt
securities; and (ii) short-term investment grade securities that
have a final or remaining maturity of 397 days or less, so long as
the maturity of any security in the fund does not occur later than
June 1, 2024. These expanded investment parameters currently will
provide the fund additional flexibility to reinvest the proceeds of
matured or called portfolio securities in higher quality,
short-term securities. As the fund gets closer to its termination
date, the fund will begin to affirmatively transition its remaining
below investment grade portfolio holdings to such high quality,
short-term securities to enhance its ability to efficiently
liquidate its portfolio at termination.
The fund has also completed the process of redeeming and
retiring its leverage in anticipation of its termination date.
The general shortening of the time-to-maturity of the fund’s
portfolio securities as the fund approaches its termination date,
the elimination of leverage, and the repositioning of the fund’s
portfolio into higher-quality securities as part of the wind-up
process, will tend to reduce interest rate risk and credit risk,
and improve portfolio liquidity, but will also tend to reduce
amounts of income available to pay as dividends to common
shareholders.
