Nuveen Municipal 2021 Target Term Fund Announces Liquidation Details
The Nuveen Municipal 2021 Target Term Fund (NYSE: NHA) today announced new details concerning its liquidation. Consistent with its investment objectives and organizational documents, the fund plans to terminate its existence and liquidate on or about 1 March 2021.
As the fund approaches liquidation, its common shares will continue trading on the New York Stock Exchange through 23 February 2021 and will be suspended from trading before the open of trading on 24 February 2021. The fund will not declare its regular monthly distribution in February 2021. The fund anticipates making its final liquidating distribution on or about 1 March 2021.
As previously announced, the fund entered its wind up period in anticipation of its termination date. Leading up to the final distribution date, as the fund’s portfolio securities continue to mature and are sold, the fund may deviate from its investment objectives and policies, and its portfolio will continue to transition into high quality, short-term securities or cash and cash equivalents.
Also as previously announced, due to recent market conditions, NHA has increased risk associated with achieving its objective of returning the Original NAV at its termination. The investment objective relating to Original NAV is not a guarantee and is dependent on a number of factors including the extent of market recovery and the cumulative level of income retained in relation to cumulative portfolio gains net of losses.
Shareholders may recognize gain or loss for U.S. tax purposes as a result of the liquidation. Nuveen does not provide tax advice; investors should consult a professional tax advisor regarding their specific tax situation.
