Nuveen Investments, a leading global provider of investment services to institutions as well as individual investors, today announced that the Board of the Nuveen Global Value Opportunities Fund (NYSE: JGV) approved changes to the fund's investment policies, effective January 2, 2014, and a change to the fund's name, effective January 21, 2014.

The changes are intended to simplify the fund's investment mandate to focus on global equities with attractive dividend potential and align it with the core investment capabilities of Tradewinds Global Investors, the fund's sub-adviser and affiliate of Nuveen Investments.

The fund's revised investment policies provide that:

  • The fund will primarily invest (at least 80 percent of its managed assets) in dividend paying equity securities;
  • The fund may opportunistically invest to a limited extent in debt securities; and
  • The fund may not short equity securities

To better reflect the fund's global equity income mandate going forward, the fund will also change its name to the Nuveen Global Equity Income Fund, effective January 21, 2014. The ticker will remain JGV.
