Investment Implications
- Alignment and selling pressure: Fund officers receive no compensation from the funds and have no disclosed fund equity awards; group beneficial ownership is <1%, implying limited direct equity‑linked selling pressure from officers .
- Retention and governance stability: Winget’s long tenure (since 2008) and multi‑entity legal/secretarial roles across the Nuveen/TIAA complex indicate continuity in governance and SEC process execution; he regularly serves as signatory/attorney‑in‑fact on registrations and corporate actions .
- Pay‑for‑performance levers: No disclosed officer incentive metrics or severance/change‑of‑control economics at the fund level; compensation oversight in proxies applies to Independent Board Members, not officers .
Note: For deeper compensation alignment analysis, investors should evaluate Nuveen/TIAA enterprise‑level compensation disclosures (outside NMAI’s fund filings), given officers’ compensation is paid by the Adviser rather than the funds .
