Portfolio Managers’ Comments

Nuveen Energy MLP Total Return Fund (JMF)

Nuveen All Cap Energy MLP Opportunities Fund (JMLP)

The Funds’ investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (NFAL), a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC. The Funds feature portfolio management by Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C. (Tortoise), the Funds’ sub-adviser. James J. Cunnane Jr., CFA, Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager, and Quinn T. Kiley, Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager, manage the Funds.

Prior to September 20, 2019, Advisory Research, Inc. (ARI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Piper Sandler Companies (Piper) (formerly, Piper Jaffray Companies), served as sub-adviser to the Funds. On May 29, 2019, Piper announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell the midstream energy business of ARI, including the MLP & Energy Infrastructure team which provided portfolio management to the Funds, to Tortoise. Because consummation of this transaction would, pursuant to applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, result in the termination of the Funds’ existing investment sub-advisory agreements with ARI, the Funds’ Board of Trustees, in order to ensure continuity of sub-advisory services, approved for each Fund both an interim investment sub-advisory agreement and a new investment sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Tortoise.

The interim investment sub-advisory agreements between the Adviser and Tortoise took effect upon the closing of Tortoise’s acquisition of ARI on September 20, 2019. Shareholders of JMLP approved the new investment sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Tortoise on November 21, 2019 and shareholders of JMF approved the new investment sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Tortoise on December 13, 2019. Each new agreement took effect upon their approval.

Here the portfolio managers discuss economic and market conditions, their investment strategies and the performance of the Funds for the twelve-month reporting period ended November 30, 2019.

What factors affected the U.S. economy and financial markets during the twelve-month reporting period ended November 30, 2019?

The U.S. economy reached the tenth year of expansion since the previous recession ended in June 2009, marking the longest expansion in U.S. history. In the third quarter of 2019, gross domestic product (GDP) grew at an annualized rate of 2.1%, according to the “third” estimate by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. GDP measures the value of goods and services produced by the nation’s economy less the value of the goods and services used up in production, adjusted for price changes. Growth in consumer spending and the housing sector helped offset a decline in business investment during the July to September 2019 period. By comparison, annualized GDP growth was 2.0% in the second quarter and 3.1% in the first quarter.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)

Consumer spending, the largest driver of the economy, remained well supported by low unemployment, wage gains and tax cuts. As reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate fell to 3.5% in November 2019 from 3.7% in November 2018 and job gains averaged around 184,000 per month for the past twelve months. As the jobs market has tightened, average hourly earnings grew at an annualized rate of 3.1% in November 2019. However, a modest decline in energy prices dampened inflation over the past twelve months. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 2.1% over the twelve-month reporting period ended November 30, 2019 before seasonal adjustment.

Low mortgage rates and low inventory drove home prices moderately higher in this reporting period, despite declining new home sales and housing starts. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index, which covers all nine U.S. census divisions, was up 3.3% year-over-year in October 2019 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared). The 10-City and 20-City Composites reported year-over-year increases of 1.7% and 2.2%, respectively.

As data pointed to slower momentum in the overall economy, the Federal Reserve (Fed) notably shifted its stance. Although the Fed had indicated in December 2018 that there could be two more rate hikes in 2019, global growth concerns kept the central bank on the sidelines. As expected by the markets, the Fed left rates unchanged throughout the first half of 2019 while speculation increased that the Fed’s next move would be a rate cut. At the July 2019, September 2019 and October 2019 policy committee meetings, the Fed announced a 0.25% cut to its main policy rate. Markets registered disappointment with the Fed’s explanation that the rate cuts were a “mid-cycle adjustment,” rather than a prolonged easing period, and its signal that there would be no additional rate cuts in 2019. Also in the latter half of 2019, the Fed announced it would stop shrinking its bond portfolio sooner than scheduled, as well as began buying short-term Treasury bills to help money markets operate smoothly and maintain short-term borrowing rates at low levels. Fed Chairman Powell emphasized that the Treasury bill purchases were not a form of quantitative easing.

During the twelve-month reporting period, geopolitical news remained a prominent market driver. Tariff and trade policy topped the list of concerns, most prominently the U.S.-China relations. After several rounds of talks and a series of tariff increases, President Trump and President Xi agreed to another temporary trade truce in late June 2019 that halted additional tariff increases. Tensions increased markedly after the July 2019 negotiations ended without an agreement, with both China and the U.S. increasing import duties. After setting new trade meetings in September and October 2019, tariff waivers were announced on a selected group of U.S. and Chinese goods and the two sides signaled progress toward a partial trade deal. (Subsequent to the close of the reporting period, the U.S. and China agreed to a “phase one” deal, which included rolling back some tariffs, increasing China’s purchases of U.S. agriculture products and the consideration of intellectual property, technology and financial services rights.) The U.S., Mexico and Canada Agreement (USMCA) trade deal replacing the North American Free Trade Agreement had yet to be ratified by the national congresses (subsequent to the close of the reporting period, the trade deal was passed by the House of Representatives), while President Trump rescinded the threat to impose tariffs on Mexico if the country didn’t take more action to curb illegal immigration. The Trump administration delayed imposing auto tariffs on the European Union (EU), as it continued to focus more on the China trade negotiations, but duties on $7.5 billion worth of EU goods including wine and cheese went into effect in October 2019 in retaliation for a dispute over aircraft subsidies. Global manufacturing and export data continued to show evidence of trade-related slumps, which increased worries that the slowdown would spread into other segments of the global economy.

In the U.K., Prime Minister Theresa May was unable to secure a Brexit deal before the original March 29, 2019 deadline and resigned as of June 7, 2019. The EU extended the deadline to October 31, 2019, which Prime Minister May’s successor, Boris Johnson, was unable to meet after a series of political maneuvers, which failed to secure an approval for his exit plan. In October 2019, the EU approved a “flextension” to January 31, 2020 and a U.K. general election was scheduled for December (subsequent to the close of the reporting period, on December 12, 2019, the Conservative

6

Party won a large majority and on December 19, 2019, the British Parliament passed the Brexit Bill). In Italy, investors worried about another potential budget clash between the eurosceptic coalition government and the EU. However, following the unexpected resignation of the prime minister in August 2019, the newly formed coalition government appeared to take a less antagonistic stance. Europe also contended with the “yellow vest” protests in France, immigration policy concerns, Russian sanctions and political risk in Turkey.

Elections around the world also remained a source of uncertainty. Markets continued to closely monitor the new administrations in Brazil and Mexico, as well as Argentina’s presidential election. Incumbent candidate President Macri, seen as market-friendly, suffered a surprising defeat in the August 2019 primary, and the Peronist ticket of Alberto Fernandez/Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner won as expected in the October 2019 election. Europe’s traditional centrist parties lost seats in the Parliamentary elections and populist parties saw marginal gains. The ruling parties in India and South Africa maintained their majorities, where slower economic growth could complicate their respective reform mandates.

Sentiment towards energy equities remained weak during the reporting period despite the reduced risk in the energy industry through stronger balance sheets and lower capital spending plans. Concerns over weakening global demand and strong U.S. supply may have contributed to the poor sentiment. Valuations are attractive and energy securities should benefit when sentiment improves. A catalyst may be distribution growth from master limited partnerships (MLPs) and midstream companies (those companies which gather, process transport and store oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products), which we anticipate in 2020.

The spread between the median MLP yield and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High Yield Bond Index yield is the largest it has been over the nearly 25-year period we have tracked this metric. While market expectations for a rate cut by the Fed have pushed bond yields down, the median MLP yield remains stubbornly high. The median trailing twelve-month enterprise value to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) multiple, another key metric, indicated that MLPs were trading at a discount to where they traded when oil prices bottomed in 2016. To put this in perspective, these public valuations are well below where private equity has recently transacted midstream assets. In addition, bonds for the majority of midstream companies are trading at or above par value, another indication that the sector may be undervalued. We expect the current market environment to lead management teams of public midstream companies to sell non-core assets and/or buy back their own equity.

A key component of the midstream business is natural gas liquids (NGLs). U.S. supply is abundant and requires continued investment in infrastructure to continue exporting NGLs to the rest of the world. Given a lack of capacity in this area, NGL prices currently reflect an oversupply situation. As capacity is added, we expect facilities to fill up quickly as this low-cost supply can be exported to the global market.

How did the Funds perform during this twelve-month reporting period ended November 30, 2019?

The tables in each Fund’s Performance Overview and Holding Summaries section of this report provide total returns for the one-year, five-year and since inception periods ended November 30, 2019. Each Fund’s total returns at net asset value (NAV) are compared with the performance of a corresponding market index. The total return at NAV for JMF underperformed the Alerian MLP Index (“Index”) and the S&P 500^® Index during the reporting period. The total return at NAV for JMLP underperformed both the Index and S&P 500^® Index during the reporting period.

The Funds are taxed as “C” corporations, and unlike most other investment companies, they pay taxes on their own income. Consequently, as explained more fully later in the report, the Funds’ adjustments to their assets and liabilities to reflect the Funds’ projected tax payments can significantly impact Fund share performance. In the most recent reporting period, those tax adjustments had a positive impact on the share performance of JMF and no impact on the share performance of JMLP.

7

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)

The Funds employ leverage. In the most recent reporting period, this leverage had a negative impact on the Funds’ total return. You should consider the Funds’ tax adjustments and leverage when comparing each Fund’s performance to the Index and S&P 500^® Index, as neither index is leveraged nor affected by the tax treatment of gains or losses. As a result, the Funds’ total return performance could differ significantly from the actual returns of its portfolio and that of the indexes, even if the pre-tax adjustment performance of the Funds’ portfolio assets and the performance of the indexes were similar.

We will divide the discussion of the various strategies used by and features of the Funds, and how each of them impacted the performance of the Funds’ shares during the twelve-month reporting period ended November 30, 2019, into the following sub-sections:

Impact of the Funds’ primary portfolio investment strategies on Fund share performance.

Both Funds continue to invest primarily in publicly traded MLPs operating in the energy sector with the main objective of providing a tax-advantaged total return.

During the reporting period, the Funds were primarily invested in midstream MLPs that own pipelines and other infrastructure facilities. These assets provide an essential service to our economy: procuring, processing, storing and transporting the commodities and products that fuel every aspect of our lives.

MLP equity prices traded sharply lower in December 2018, driven by tax loss selling. Prices quickly rebounded in January 2019 and moved up through mid-year. During the first half of 2019, there was no material pronouncements from management nor regulatory (FERC) or rating agencies, which allowed investors to begin focusing more on relatively attractive MLP prices and fundamentals. Performance weakened in the later portion of 2019 as energy commodity prices softened and investors became concerned with the fundamentals of many energy-related companies. Midstream companies, particularly those involved in gathering and processing, were impacted by selling pressure. Although commodity prices improved late in 2019, selling pressure did not abate. At the end of 2019, the holdings in the Fund’s portfolio remain fundamentally sound and their valuations are low in comparison to history. Many midstream companies have indicated a plan to pay out flat to rising distributions in 2020. We continue to think that an inflection point in midstream distributions, from decline to growth, will serve as the catalyst going forward.

While JMF underperformed the Index, the Fund benefited from strong security selection during the reporting period, while detractors to performance included an overweight to the higher yielding gathering and processing MLPs and an underweight to the lower yielding midstream oil MLPs.

JMLP underperformed the twelve-month reporting period ended November 30, 2019. JMLP’s strategy is differentiated from JMF in the following ways: 1) JMLP will not purchase the top ten constituents in the Index, and 2) JMLP will not purchase securities that are rated among the bottom 30% of the universe by quality, as defined by the sub-adviser’s “Quality Scorecard” process. The Fund benefited from a position in Global Partners LP, which was a top performing MLP in the portfolio and is not held in the Index. A detractor to Fund performance was not owning Buckeye Parters, L.P., which was one of the top ten constituents in the Index.

Impact of tax adjustments on the Funds’ share performance

Each Fund is treated as a “C” Corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore is a taxable entity, meaning that in addition to recording a current tax expense on current year earnings and realized gains, they also record either a net deferred tax liability representing the future taxes projected to be payable on unrealized portfolio gains, or

8

a net deferred tax asset representing the tax benefit projected to be associated with realized and unrealized portfolio losses. These tax adjustment entries on the Funds’ accounting records are intended to ensure that the Funds’ NAVs take into account the future income tax that the Funds may be liable for based on unrealized appreciation as well as the tax benefit of losses that may be used to offset future earnings. Such entries will often have a “moderating impact” on the total returns of investment of the Funds’ shares during a particular measurement period. An increase in the value of a Fund’s portfolio investments will typically trigger an increase to the deferred tax liability or a reduction to the deferred tax asset that would partially offset the portfolio value increases; in contrast, a decrease in value of the Fund’s portfolio investments will typically trigger a reduction in a deferred tax liability and/or an increase to the deferred tax asset, which would tend to partially offset such portfolio value decreases.

During the reporting period for JMF, the projected future tax liability of the Fund decreased, resulting in a positive contribution to NAV performance.

To the extent that a Fund has a deferred tax asset, consideration is given to whether or not a valuation allowance is required that would offset the tax asset. Accounting principles dictate that the determination of such a valuation allowance is based on whether there is a more-likely-than-not probability that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

At November 30, 2018, JMLP had a valuation allowance to offset the deferred tax asset. This allowance still existed at November 30, 2019. As a result, there was no impact to NAV performance associated with the deferred tax asset or liability.

Further modifications of the Funds’ estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance could result in increases or decreases in the Funds’ net asset value per share, which could be material.

Impact of the Funds’ leverage strategies on performance

One important factor impacting the returns of the Funds’ common shares relative to their comparative benchmarks was the Funds’ use of leverage through bank borrowings. The Funds use leverage because our research has shown that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for additional income and total return. The opportunity arises when short-term rates that the Fund pays on its leveraging instruments are lower than the distributions the Fund earns on its portfolio securities that it has bought with the proceeds of that leverage. This has been particularly true in the recent market environment where short-term rates have been low by historical standards.

However, use of leverage can expose Fund common shares to additional price volatility. When a Fund uses leverage, the Fund’s common shares will experience a greater increase in their net asset value if the securities acquired through the use of leverage increase in value, but will also experience a correspondingly larger decline in their net asset value if the securities acquired through leverage decline in value, which will make the shares’ net asset value more volatile, and total return performance more variable, over time.

In addition, common share income in levered funds will typically decrease in comparison to unlevered funds when short-term interest rates increase and increase when short-term interest rates decrease. In recent quarters, fund leverage expenses have generally tracked the overall movement of short-term tax-exempt interest rates. While fund leverage expenses are somewhat higher than their all-time lows after the 2007-2009 financial crisis, which has contributed to a reduction in common share net income and long-term total return potential, leverage nevertheless continues to provide the opportunity for incremental common share income. Management believes that the potential benefits from leverage continue to outweigh the associated increase in risk and volatility previously described.

For the twelve-month reporting period ended November 30, 2019, leverage had a negative impact on the total return performance of both Funds.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)

The Funds employ regulatory leverage through the use of bank borrowings. As of November 30, 2019, the Funds had outstanding bank borrowings as shown in the accompanying table.

Bank Borrowings

As noted above, the Funds employ leverage through the use of bank borrowings.

The Funds operate under established leverage guidelines. During the current reporting period, volatility in the MLP market caused the Funds to periodically reduce and increase the amount of their outstanding borrowings in order to maintain levels consistent with these guidelines. The Funds’ bank borrowing activities are as shown in the accompanying table.

Refer to Notes to Financial Statements, Note 7 – Borrowing Arrangements for further details.

During the reporting period, JMF and JMLP continued to utilize forward interest rate swap contracts to hedge the future interest expense of its leverage. During the reporting period, these swaps had a negative impact on the Funds’ overall performance.

Common Share

Information

DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION

The following information regarding the Funds’ distributions is current as of November 30, 2019, the Funds’ fiscal and tax year end, and may differ from previously issued distribution notifications.

The Funds have a cash flow-based distribution program. Under this program, each Fund seeks to maintain an attractive and stable regular distribution based on the Fund’s net cash flow received from its portfolio investments. Fund distributions are not intended to include expected portfolio appreciation; however, each Fund invests in securities that make payments which ultimately may be fully or partially treated as gains or return of capital for tax purposes. This tax treatment will generally “flow through” to the Fund’s distributions, but the specific tax treatment is often not known with certainty until after the end of the Fund’s tax year. As a result, regular distributions throughout the year are likely to be re-characterized for tax purposes as either long-term gains (both realized and unrealized), or as a non-taxable return of capital.

The figures in the table below provide the sources (for tax purposes) of each Fund’s distributions as of November 30, 2019. These source include amounts attributable to realized gains and/or returns of capital. The Funds attribute these non-income sources equally to each regular distribution throughout the fiscal year. The information shown below is for the distributions paid on common shares for all prior months in the current fiscal year. These amounts should not be used for tax reporting purposes, and the distribution sources may differ for financial reporting than for tax reporting. The final determination of the tax characteristics of all distributions paid in 2019 will be made in early 2020 and reported to you on Form 1099-DIV. More details about the tax characteristics of each Fund’s distributions are available on www.nuveen.com/CEFdistributions.

The following table provides information regarding fund distributions and total return performance over various time periods. This information is intended to help you better understand whether fund returns for the specified time periods were sufficient to meet fund distributions.

CHANGE IN METHOD OF PUBLISHING NUVEEN CLOSED-END FUND DISTRIBUTION AMOUNTS

Beginning on or about November 1, 2019, the Nuveen Closed-End Funds will be discontinuing the practice of announcing Fund distribution amounts and timing via press release. Instead, information about the Nuveen Closed-End Funds’ monthly and quarterly periodic distributions to shareholders will be posted and can be found on Nuveen’s enhanced closed-end fund resource page, which is at www.nuveen.com/closed-end-fund-distributions, along with other Nuveen closed-end fund product updates. Shareholders can expect regular distribution information to be posted on www.nuveen.com on the first business day of each month. To ensure that our shareholders have timely access to the latest information, a subscribe function can be activated at this link here, or at this web page (www.nuveen.com/en-us/people/about-nuveen/for-the-media).

COMMON SHARE EQUITY SHELF PROGRAM

During the current reporting period, JMLP was authorized by the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue additional common shares through an equity shelf program (Shelf Offering). Under this program, the Fund, subject to market conditions, may raise additional capital from time to time in varying amounts and offering methods at a net price at or above the Fund’s NAV per common share. The total amount of common shares authorized under this Shelf Offering are as shown in the accompanying table.

Refer to Notes to Financial Statements, Note 5 – Fund Shares, Common Shares Equity Shelf Programs and Offering Costs for further details of Shelf Offerings and the Fund’s respective transactions.

COMMON SHARE REPURCHASES

During August 2019, the Funds’ Board of Trustees reauthorized an open-market share repurchase program, allowing each Fund to repurchase an aggregate of up to approximately 10% of its outstanding common shares.

As of November 30, 2019, and since the inception of the Funds’ repurchase programs, the Funds have cumulatively repurchased and retired their outstanding shares as shown in the accompanying table.

During the current reporting period, the Funds did not repurchase any of their outstanding common shares.

Risk Considerations and

Investment Policy Updates

Risk Considerations

Fund shares are not guaranteed or endorsed by any bank or other insured depository institution, and are not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Nuveen Energy MLP Total Return Fund (JMF)

Investing in closed-end funds involves risk; principal loss is possible. There is no guarantee the Fund’s investment objectives will be achieved. Closed-end fund shares may frequently trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value. MLP Units are subject to energy sector concentration risk, limited voting rights, and heightened tax risk. Common stock returns often have experienced significant volatility. Leverage increases return volatility and magnifies the Fund’s potential return and its risks; there is no guarantee a fund’s leverage strategy will be successful. For these and other risks such as tax risk, please see the Fund’s web page at www.nuveen.com/JMF.

Investment Policy Updates

Change in Investment Policy

Each of the Funds has recently adopted the following policy regarding limits to investments in illiquid securities:

While there are no such limits imposed by applicable regulations, certain Nuveen Closed-End Funds formerly had investment policies that placed limits on a Fund’s ability to invest in illiquid securities. All exchange-listed Nuveen Closed-End Funds now have no formal limit on their ability to invest in such illiquid securities, but each Fund’s portfolio management team will monitor such investments in the regular, overall management of the Fund’s portfolio securities.
