Description: JQC Nuveen Credit Strategies December 01, 2025

Nuveen Credit Strategies Income Closed Fund (NYSE: JQC) is a U.S.-based closed-end fund that invests primarily in senior secured bank loans, positioning itself within the “bank loan” style segment of the credit market.

Key metrics (as of the latest filing) include an annualized distribution yield of roughly 7.5 % and a net asset value (NAV) per share of about $19, reflecting a modest discount/premium to market price. The fund’s average portfolio duration is under 3 years, which limits interest-rate sensitivity, while its weighted-average credit rating sits in the “BBB-” range, indicating exposure to middle-market borrowers.

Performance drivers are closely tied to the U.S. leveraged-loan market and Federal Reserve policy. A tightening cycle that pushes short-term rates higher can compress loan spreads, but robust corporate earnings and continued issuance of senior secured debt tend to support demand for the fund’s assets.
