“For more than 35 years at Nuveen, Bill Adams was dedicated to serving investors and helping them meet their investment goals. Bill played an invaluable role in building Nuveen’s closed-end fund franchise into the market leader. It is with deep gratitude that we wish him all the best in his retirement,” a Nuveen spokesperson writes to MFWire.

Adams has been with Nuveen for his entire career in the mutual fund industry. Adams became co-president in January 2016, and before that he was senior executive vice president of global structured products.

Before becoming co-president (also in January 2016), Cook was senior executive vice president of strategy and multi asset class solutions. She joined Nuveen in 2008 after working at Bear Sterns and BNY Mellon.
