About Nuveen Floating Rate Income Fund

Nuveen Floating Rate Income Fund is a closed-end investment company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol JFR. The fund seeks to provide a high level of current income by investing primarily in floating-rate senior secured loans and other floating-rate debt instruments.

Its portfolio generally focuses on loans made to companies with below-investment-grade credit ratings or companies whose credit quality is comparable to below-investment-grade issuers.
