- No employment contracts, severance, non‑compete, change‑of‑control, clawback, or pledging disclosures are provided for Fund officers in the proxy; these arrangements, if any, would be at the Adviser (Nuveen) level and are not reported by the Fund .
Investment Implications
- Alignment: With zero group insider holdings in NIM and no fund‑paid officer compensation, direct pay‑for‑performance alignment at the Fund level is minimal; officer incentives reside at the Adviser (Nuveen), which is not disclosed in NIM’s proxy .
- Retention/Trading Signals: Absence of reported equity grants, vesting schedules, or insider ownership reduces visibility into selling pressure or retention risk; no Diana‑specific insider transactions are disclosed in Fund filings reviewed .
- Governance: The structure is consistent with closed‑end fund practice—independent Board with officers serving without fund compensation—placing performance oversight on Board committees and the Adviser’s execution rather than officer‑level incentives reported at the Fund .
