Nuveen Investments, a Chicago-based global provider of investment services to institutions and high-net-worth investors, announced that its Dublin-based Nuveen Global Investors Fund, has been authorized as a UCITS pursuant to the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investments in Transferable Securities) Regulation 2003.

The company has said that currently available UCITS equity investment options include the Tradewinds Global All-Cap, Tradewinds International Value and NWQ Large-Cap Value portfolios of Nuveen Global Investors Fund.

Alan Brown, executive vice president, Nuveen Investments, said: “We are working to increase the availability of these and potentially additional strategies to institutional investors and select distribution platforms globally. We believe the early success of this program is a reflection of the strength and expertise of our Tradewinds and NWQ investment teams, and we will look to build on that success in a thoughtful way that continues to address the long-term needs of non-US institutional and high-net-worth investors.”
