Chairs Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
We have
seen a nearly full recovery in the economy and began to approach more normalcy in our daily lives, enabled by unprecedented help from governments and central banks and the development of effective COVID-19 vaccines and therapies.
As crisis-related monetary and fiscal supports are phasing out, global economic growth is expected to moderate from post-pandemic peak growth toward a more sustainable
pace of expansion. In the U.S., the rapid rebound in the economy has pushed consumer prices higher, and ongoing supply chain disruptions have kept the inflation rate elevated for longer than expected. With the economy and employment on strong
footing, the Federal Reserve is ending its pandemic bond buying program and will begin raising short-term interest rates in 2022 to help keep inflation in check. The Fed now faces the challenge of counteracting inflation pressures without stifling
economic growth, which the markets will be watching closely. On the fiscal side, government spending will be lower from here, but the U.S. will begin funding projects with the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act enacted on November
15, 2021, and Europe, Japan and China are also expected to roll out fiscal support in 2022.
Inflation levels, the timing of monetary policy normalization and the
global economys response to tighter financial conditions will be a key focus in the markets. We anticipate periodic volatility as markets digest incoming data on these impacts, as well as COVID-19 headlines, as there is still uncertainty about
the course of the pandemic. Short-term market fluctuations can provide your Fund opportunities to invest in new ideas as well as upgrade existing positioning while providing long-term value for shareholders. For more than 120 years, the careful
consideration of risk and reward has guided Nuveens focus on delivering long-term results to our shareholders.
To learn more about how your portfolio can take
advantage of new opportunities arising from the normalizing global economy, we encourage you to review your time horizon, risk tolerance and investment goals with your financial professional.
On behalf of the other members of the Nuveen Fund Board, I look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Terence J. Toth
Chair of the Board

Fund Leverage
IMPACT OF THE FUNDS LEVERAGE STRATEGY ON PERFORMANCE
One important factor impacting the returns of the Funds common shares relative to its comparative benchmarks was the Funds use of leverage through reverse
repurchase agreements and mortgage dollar rolls. The Fund uses leverage because our research has shown that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for additional income. The opportunity arises when short-term rates that the Fund pays on its
leveraging instruments are lower than the interest the Fund earns on its portfolio securities that it has bought with the proceeds of that leverage. This has been particularly true in the recent market environment where short-term rates have been
low by historical standards.
However, use of leverage can expose Fund common shares to additional price volatility. When the Fund uses leverage, the Funds
common shares will experience a greater increase in their net asset value if the securities acquired through the use of leverage increase in value, but will also experience a correspondingly larger decline in their net asset value if the securities
acquired through leverage decline in value. All this will make the shares total return performance more variable over time.
In addition, common share income
in levered funds will typically decrease in comparison to unlevered funds when short-term interest rates increase and increase when short-term interest rates decrease. In recent quarters, fund leverage expenses have generally tracked the overall
movement of short-term interest rates. While fund leverage expenses are somewhat higher than their recent lows, leverage nevertheless continues to provide the opportunity for incremental common share income, particularly over longer-term periods.
The Funds use of leverage had a negligible impact on total return performance during this reporting period.
As of December 31, 2021, the Funds percentages of leverage are shown in the accompanying table.

Effective leverage is a Funds effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage and the leverage
effects of reverse repurchase agreements, certain derivative and other investments in the Funds portfolio that increase the Funds investment exposure. Regulatory leverage consists of preferred shares issued or borrowings of a Fund.
Both of these are part of a Funds capital structure. The Fund, however, may from time to time borrow on a typically transient basis in connection with its day-to-day operations, primarily in connection with the need to settle portfolio trades.
Such incidental borrowings are excluded from the calculation of the Funds effective leverage ratio. Regulatory leverage is subject to asset coverage limits set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940. |
THE FUNDS LEVERAGE
Reverse Repurchase Agreements
As noted above, the Fund utilized reverse repurchase agreements in which, the Fund sells to a counterparty a security that it holds with a contemporaneous agreement to
repurchase the same security at an agreed-upon price and date. The Funds transactions in reverse repurchase agreements are as shown in the accompanying table.

Common Share Information
DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION
The following information regarding the Funds distributions is current as of December 31, 2021, the Funds fiscal and tax year end, and may differ from
previously issued distribution notifications.
The Fund has implemented a level distribution program. The goal of the Funds level distribution program is to
provide shareholders with stable, but not guaranteed, cash flow, independent of the amount or timing of income earned or capital gains realized by the Fund. The Fund intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net investment income through
its regular monthly distribution and to distribute realized capital gains at least annually. In any monthly period, in order to maintain its level distribution amount, the Fund may pay out more or less than its net investment income during the
period. As a result, regular distributions throughout the year are expected to include net investment income and potentially a return of capital or capital gains for tax purposes. You should not draw any conclusions about the Funds investment
performance from the amount of the distribution or from the terms of the level distribution program. A return of capital is a non-taxable distribution of a portion of a Funds capital. A return of capital
distribution does not necessarily reflect a Funds investment performance and should not be confused with yield or income.
The amounts
and sources of distributions reported in this notice are for financial reporting purposes and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and character of the distributions for tax reporting purposes will be reported to
shareholders on Form 1099-DIV, which will be sent to shareholders shortly after calendar year-end. Because distribution source estimates are updated throughout the
current fiscal year based on the Funds performance, those estimates may differ from both the tax information reported to you in your Funds 1099 statement, as well as the ultimate economic sources of distributions over the life of your
investment. The figures in the table below provide the sources of distributions and may include amounts attributed to realized gains and/or returns of capital. More details about the Funds distributions are available on www.nuveen.com/en-us/closed-end-funds.

For Fund portfolio compliance purposes, the
Funds industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund
management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industry sub-classifications into sectors for reporting ease.
(1) |
All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets applicable to common shares unless otherwise
noted. |
(2) |
For financial reporting purposes, the ratings disclosed are the highest of Standard & Poors Group
(Standard & Poors), Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys) or Fitch, Inc. (Fitch) rating. This treatment of split-rated securities may differ from that used for other purposes, such as
for Fund investment policies. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poors, Baa by Moodys or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies.
|
(3) |
Variable rate security. The rate shown is the coupon as of the end of the reporting period. |
(4) |
Investment, or portion of investment, has been pledged to collateralize the net payment obligations for investments in
derivatives and/or reverse repurchase agreements. As of the end of the reporting period, investments with a value of $24,623,165 have been pledged as collateral for reverse repurchase agreements. |
(5) |
Senior loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically adjusted by reference to a base short-term, floating
lending rate (Reference Rate) plus an assigned fixed rate (Spread). These floating lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate referenced by the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR), or (ii) the prime rate offered by one
or more major United States banks. Senior loans may be considered restricted in that the Fund ordinarily is contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the disposition of a senior loan. The rate shown is
the coupon as of the end of the reporting period. |
(6) |
Senior Loans generally are subject to mandatory and/or optional prepayment. Because of these mandatory prepayment
conditions and because there may be significant economic incentives for a borrower to prepay, prepayments of senior loans may occur. As a result, the actual remaining maturity of senior loans held may be substantially less than the stated maturities
shown. |
(7) |
Contingent Capital Securities (CoCos) are hybrid securities with loss absorption characteristics built into
the terms of the security for the benefit of the issuer. For example, the terms may specify an automatic write-down of principal or a mandatory conversion into the issuers common stock under certain adverse circumstances, such as the
issuers capital ratio falling below a specified level. |
(8) |
Perpetual security. Maturity date is not applicable. |
(9) |
Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns. |
(10) |
Reverse Repurchase Agreements, including accrued interest as a percentage of Total Investments is 22.6%.
|
(11) |
Other assets less liabilities includes the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of certain over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives as well as the OTC cleared and exchange-traded derivatives, when applicable. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of OTC
cleared and exchange-traded derivatives is recognized as part of the cash collateral of brokers and/or the receivable or payable for variation margin as presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable. |
(12) |
Effective date represents the date on which both the Fund and counterparty commence interest payment accruals on each
contract. |
144A |
Investment is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These investments may
only be resold in transactions exempt from registration, which are normally those transactions with qualified institutional buyers. |
LIBOR |
London Inter-Bank Offered Rate |
MDR |
Denotes investment is subject to dollar roll transactions. |

Total Return Based on Common Share NAV is the combination of changes in common share NAV, reinvested dividend income at
NAV and reinvested capital gains distributions at NAV, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending NAV. The actual reinvest
price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Funds market price (and not its NAV), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized. |
Total Return Based on Common Share Price is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and
reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be
reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be
different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. General Information
Fund Information
Nuveen Multi-Market Income Fund (the Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified closed-end management
investment company. The Funds shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and trade under the ticker symbol JMM. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on May 27, 2014 (previously organized
as a Virginia corporation).
The end of the reporting period for the Fund is December 31, 2021, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the
six months ended December 31, 2021 (the current fiscal period).
Investment Adviser and Sub-Adviser
The Funds investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the Adviser), a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC (Nuveen). Nuveen is the investment
management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA). The Adviser has overall responsibility for management of the Fund, oversees the management of the Funds portfolio, manages the Funds business affairs and
provides certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services, and, if necessary, asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the Sub-Adviser), a
subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the Funds investment portfolio.
Developments
Regarding the Funds Control Share By-Law
On October 5, 2020, the Fund and certain other closed-end funds in the Nuveen fund complex amended their by-laws.
Among other things, the amended by-laws included provisions pursuant to which, in summary, a shareholder who obtains beneficial ownership of common shares in a Control Share Acquisition (as defined in the by-laws) shall have the same voting rights
as other common shareholders only to the extent authorized by the other disinterested shareholders (the Control Share By-Law). On January 14, 2021, a shareholder of certain Nuveen closed-end funds filed a civil complaint in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York (the District Court) against certain Nuveen funds and their trustees, seeking a declaration that such funds Control Share By-Laws violate the 1940 Act, rescission of such
funds Control Share By-Laws and a permanent injunction against such funds applying the Control Share By-Laws. On February 18, 2022, the District Court granted judgment in favor of the plaintiffs claim for rescission of such funds
Control Share By-Laws and the plaintiffs declaratory judgment claim, and declared that such funds Control Share By-Laws violate Section 18(i) of the 1940 Act. Following review of the judgment of the District Court, on February 22, 2022,
the Board of Trustees amended the Funds by-laws to provide that the Funds Control Share By-Law shall be of no force and effect for so long as the judgment of the District Court is effective and that if the judgment of the District Court
is reversed, overturned, vacated, stayed, or otherwise nullified, the Funds Control Share By-Law will be automatically reinstated and apply to any beneficial owner of common shares acquired in a Control Share Acquisition, regardless of whether
such Control Share Acquisition occurs before or after such reinstatement, for the duration of the stay or upon issuance of the mandate reversing, overturning, vacating or otherwise nullifying the judgment of the District Court.
Other Matters
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and subsequent global pandemic began significantly impacting the U.S. and global financial markets and economies during the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2020. The worldwide spread of COVID-19 has created significant uncertainty in the global economy. The duration and extent of COVID-19 over the long term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The
ultimate impact of COVID-19 and the extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Funds normal course of business, results of operations, investments, and cash flows will
depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. Management continues to monitor and evaluate this situation.
2. Significant
Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (U.S. GAAP), which may require the use of estimates made by management and the evaluation of subsequent events. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Fund is an investment company and follows the accounting guidance
in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification 946, Financial Services Investment Companies. The net asset value (NAV) for financial reporting purposes may differ from the NAV for
processing security and common share transactions. The NAV for financial reporting purposes includes security and common share transactions through the date of the report. Total return is computed based on the NAV used for processing security and
common share transactions. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
26
Compensation
The Fund pays no compensation directly to those of its trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their
services to the Fund from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Funds Board of Trustees (the Board) has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion
of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen-advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen-advised funds.
Distributions to Common Shareholders
Distributions to common shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount, character and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
The Fund has implemented a level distribution program to provide shareholders with stable, but not guaranteed, cash flow, independent of the amount or timing of income
earned or capital gains realized by the Fund. Under this program, the Funds regular monthly distribution, in order to maintain its level distribution amount, may include net investment income, return of capital and potentially capital gains
for tax purposes. The amounts and sources of distributions are reported for financial reporting purposes and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and character of the distributions for tax reporting purposes will be
reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV which will be sent to shareholders shortly after calendar year-end. More details about the Funds distributions and the basis for these estimates are available on www.nuveen.com/cef.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds organizational documents, its officers
and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other
parties. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these
contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Investments and Investment Income
Securities transactions are accounted for as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are based upon the
specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for foreign securities, when information is available. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date and
recorded at fair value. Interest income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and includes accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income also reflects payment-in-kind
(PIK) interest, fees earned from reverse repurchase agreements and paydown gains and losses, if any. PIK interest represents income received in the form of securities in lieu of cash. Fees earned from reverse repurchase agreements are
further described in Note 8 Fund Leverage, Reverse Repurchase Agreements.
Netting Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Fund may enter into transactions subject to enforceable master repurchase agreements, International Swaps and Derivatives
Association, Inc. (ISDA) master agreements or other similar arrangements (netting agreements). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows the Fund to offset certain securities and derivatives with a specific
counterparty, when applicable, as well as any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, the Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis.
The Funds investments subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, if any, are further described in Note 4 Portfolio Securities and
Investments in Derivatives.
New Accounting Pronouncements and Rule Issuances
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
(ASU) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The main objective of the new guidance is to provide relief to companies that will
be impacted by the expected change in benchmark interest rates, when participating banks will no longer be required to submit London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) quotes by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The new guidance allows companies
to, provided the only changes to existing contracts are a change to an approved benchmark interest rate, account for modifications as a continuance of the existing contract without additional analysis. For new and existing contracts, the Funds may
elect to apply the amendments as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has not yet elected to apply the amendments, is continuously evaluating the potential effect a discontinuation of LIBOR could have on the Funds
investments and has currently determined that it is unlikely the ASUs adoption will have a significant impact on the Funds financial statements and various filings.
27
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
(Unaudited)
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Adopts New Rules to Modernize Fund Valuation Framework
In December 2020, the SEC voted to adopt a new rule governing fund valuation practices. New Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act establishes requirements for determining fair
value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market
quotations are readily available for purposes of Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, which requires a fund to fair value a security when market quotations are not readily available. The SEC also adopted new Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act,
which sets forth the recordkeeping requirements associated with fair value determinations. Finally, the SEC is rescinding previously issued guidance on related issues, including the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and
auditing of fund investments. Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4 became effective on March 8, 2021, with a compliance date of September 8, 2022. A fund may voluntarily comply with the rules after the effective date, and in advance of the compliance date,
under certain conditions. Management is currently assessing the impact of these provisions on the Funds financial statements.
3. Investment Valuation and
Fair Value Measurements
The Funds investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value utilizing valuation methods approved by the Board.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. U.S. GAAP establishes
the three-tier hierarchy which is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the
assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect managements assumptions about the
assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.
|
|
|
Level 1 |
|
Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. |
Level 2 |
|
Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit spreads, etc.). |
Level 3 |
|
Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including managements assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds major classifications of assets and liabilities measured at fair
value follows:
Prices of fixed-income securities are generally provided by an independent pricing service (pricing service) approved by the Board. The
pricing service establishes a securitys fair value using methods that may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications
of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligors credit characteristics considered relevant. In pricing certain
securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer or market activity provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2.
Repurchase agreements are valued at contract amount plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. These securities are generally classified as Level 2.
Futures contracts are valued using the closing settlement price or, in the absence of such a price, the last traded price and are generally classified
as Level 1.
Swap contracts are marked-to-market daily based upon a price supplied by a pricing service. Swaps are generally classified as Level 2.
Any portfolio security or derivative for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair
value are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a
current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and
rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligors credit characteristics considered
relevant. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they would be classified as Level 3.

4. Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives
Portfolio Securities
Dollar Roll Transactions
The Fund may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in which a Fund sells mortgage securities for delivery in the current month, realizing a gain (loss), and simultaneously
contracts to repurchase similar securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, a Fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The Fund is compensated by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale and
by the lower repurchase price at the future date. The difference between the sales proceeds and the repurchase price is recorded as a realized gain or loss.
Repurchase Agreements
In connection with transactions in repurchase
agreements, it is the Funds policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the
counterparty defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral may be delayed or limited.
The following table presents the
repurchase agreements for the Fund that are subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, and the collateral delivered related to those repurchase agreements.

Zero Coupon Securities
A zero coupon security
does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of
the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
Investment Transactions
Long-term purchases and sales (including maturities
and dollar roll transactions, but excluding derivative transactions) during the current fiscal period aggregated $49,764,125 and $48,130,751 respectively.
The Fund
may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may have extended settlement periods; interest income is not accrued until settlement date. Any securities so
purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Fund has earmarked securities in its portfolio with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed-delivery purchase commitments. If the Fund has
outstanding when-issued/delayed-delivery purchases commitments as of the end of the reporting period, such amounts are recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Investments in Derivatives
The Fund is authorized to invest in certain
derivative instruments such as futures, options and swap contracts. The Fund limits its investments in futures, options on futures and swap contracts to the extent necessary for the Adviser to claim the exclusion from registration by the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission as a commodity pool operator with respect to the Fund. The Fund records derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the
Funds investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes.
Futures
Contracts
Upon execution of a futures contract, the Fund is obligated to deposit cash or eligible securities, also known as initial margin, into an
account at its clearing broker equal to a specified percentage of the contract amount. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts, if any, is recognized as Cash collateral at brokers for investments
in futures contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Investments in futures contracts obligate the Fund and the clearing broker to settle monies on a daily basis representing changes in the prior days mark-to-market of
the open contracts. If the Fund has unrealized appreciation the clearing broker will credit the Funds account with an amount equal to appreciation. Conversely, if the Fund has unrealized depreciation the clearing broker will debit the
Funds account with an amount equal to depreciation. These daily cash settlements are also known as variation margin. Variation margin is recognized as a receivable and/or payable for Variation margin on futures
contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as an
unrealized gain or loss by marking-to-market on a daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract, which is recognized as a component of Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of futures
contracts on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or expired, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract on the closing date and value of the contract when originally
entered into, which is recognized as a component of Net realized gain (loss) from futures contracts on the Statement of Operations.
Risks of investments
in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement in the price of the securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that there may not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts and/or that a change in the value of the
contract may not correlate with a change in the value of the underlying securities or indices.
During the current fiscal period, the Fund used U.S. Treasury futures
as part of an overall portfolio construction strategy to manage portfolio duration and yield curve exposure.
The average notional amount of futures contracts
outstanding during the current fiscal period was as follows:

Interest Rate Swap Contracts
Interest rate swap contracts involve the Funds agreement with the counterparty to pay or receive a fixed rate payment in exchange for the counterparty receiving or
paying a variable rate payment. Forward interest rate swap contracts involve the Funds agreement with a counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or variable rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable or fixed
rate payment, the accruals for which would begin at a specified date in the future (the effective date).
The amount of the payment obligation for an
interest rate swap is based on the notional amount and the termination date of the contract. Interest rate swap contracts do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect
to the swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to the net amount of interest payments that the Fund is to receive.
Interest rate swap contracts are valued
daily. Upon entering into an interest rate swap contract (and beginning on the effective date for a forward interest rate swap contract), the Fund accrues the fixed rate payment expected to be paid or received and the variable rate payment expected
to be received or paid on the interest rate swap contracts on a daily basis, and recognizes the daily change in the fair value of the Funds contractual rights and obligations under the contracts. For an over-the-counter (OTC) swap that is not cleared through a clearing house (OTC Uncleared), the amount recorded on these transactions is recognized on the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities as a component of Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on interest rate swaps.
Upon the execution of an OTC swap cleared through a
clearing house (OTC Cleared), the Fund is obligated to deposit cash or eligible securities, also known as initial margin, into an account at its clearing broker equal to a specified percentage of the contract amount. Cash
deposited by the Fund to cover initial margin requirements on open swap contracts, if any, is recognized as a component of Cash collateral at brokers for investments in swaps on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Investments in OTC
Cleared swaps obligate the Fund and the clearing broker to settle monies on a daily basis representing changes in the prior days mark-to-market of the
swap contract. If the Fund has unrealized appreciation, the clearing broker will credit the Funds account with an amount equal to the appreciation. Conversely, if the Fund has unrealized depreciation, the clearing broker will debit the
Funds account with an amount equal to the depreciation. These daily cash settlements are also known as variation margin. Variation margin for OTC Cleared swaps is recognized as a receivable and/or payable for Variation margin
on swap contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Upon the execution of an OTC Uncleared swap, neither the Fund nor the counterparty is required to deposit initial margin as the trades are recorded bilaterally between both parties
to the swap contract, and the terms of the variation margin are subject to a predetermined threshold negotiated by the Fund and the counterparty. Variation margin for OTC Uncleared swaps is recognized as a component of Unrealized appreciation
or depreciation on interest rate swaps as described in the preceding paragraph.
The net amount of periodic payments settled in cash are recognized as a
component of Net realized gain (loss) from swaps on the Statement of Operations, in addition to the net realized gain or loss recorded upon the termination of the swap contract. For tax purposes, payments expected to be received or paid
on the swap contracts are treated as ordinary income or expense, respectively. Changes in the value of the swap contracts during the fiscal period are recognized as a component of Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of
swaps on the Statement of Operations. In certain instances, payments are made or received upon entering into the swap contract to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreements and prevailing market conditions
(credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period, if any, are recognized as Interest rate swaps premiums received and/or paid on
the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
During the current fiscal period, the Fund used interest rate swap contracts to partially hedge its interest cost of
leverage.
The average notional amount of interest rate swap contracts outstanding during the current fiscal period was as follows:

Market and Counterparty Credit Risk
In the
normal course of business the Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform
(counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from
counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of the Funds exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities.
The Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial
resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on
behalf of the Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when the Fund has an unrealized loss, the Fund has instructed the
custodian to pledge assets of the Fund as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently
adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount.
5. Fund Shares
Common Share Transactions
The Fund did not have any transactions in common
shares during the current and prior fiscal periods.
6. Income Tax Information
The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment company taxable income to common shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
For all open tax
years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination
by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Fund is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of
unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between
amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such
amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the common share NAV of the Fund.
32
The table below presents the cost and unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of the Funds investment portfolio, as determined on a federal income tax basis as of December 31, 2021.
For purposes of this
disclosure, derivative tax cost is generally the sum of any upfront fees or premiums exchanged and any amounts unrealized for income statement reporting but realized in income and/or capital gains for tax reporting. If a particular derivative
category does not disclose any tax unrealized appreciation or depreciation, the change in value of those derivatives have generally been fully realized for tax purposes.

Permanent differences, primarily due to paydowns, bond premium amortization adjustments, treatment of notional principal contracts and complex securities character adjustments, resulted in reclassifications among the
Funds components of net assets as of June 30, 2021, the Funds last tax year end. |

7. Management Fees
The Funds management
fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Fund from the management fees paid
to the Adviser.
The Funds management fee consists of two components a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within the Fund, and a
complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables Fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within the Fund as well as from growth in the amount of
complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:

For the complex-level fees, managed assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to
certain types of leverage. For these purposes, leverage includes the funds use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond
(TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trusts issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such
assets for determining managed assets in certain circumstances. The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed assets of all Nuveen open-end and closed-end funds that constitute eligible assets. Eligible
assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen funds or assets in excess of a determined amount (originally $2 billion) added to the Nuveen fund complex in connection with the Advisers assumption of the management of
the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011, but do include certain assets of certain Nuveen Funds that were reorganized into funds advised by an affiliate of the Adviser during the 2019 calendar year. As of December 31, 2021, the
complex-level fee for the Fund was 0.1531%. |
8. Fund Leverage
Reverse Repurchase Agreements
During the current fiscal period, the Fund
entered into reverse repurchase agreements as a means of leverage.
The Fund may enter into a reverse repurchase agreement with brokers, dealers, banks or other
financial institutions that have been determined by the Adviser to be creditworthy. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund sells to the counterparty a security that it holds with a contemporaneous agreement to repurchase the same security at an
agreed-upon price and date, reflecting the interest rate effective for the term of the agreement. It may also be viewed as the borrowing of money by the Fund. Cash received in exchange for securities delivered, plus accrued interest payments to be
made by the Fund to a counterparty, are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Interest payments made by the Fund to counterparties are recognized as a component of Interest expense and amortization of offering
costs on the Statement of Operations.
In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund retains the risk of loss associated with the sold security. In order to
minimize risk, the Fund identifies for coverage securities and cash as collateral with a fair value at least equal to its purchase obligations under these agreements (including accrued interest). Reverse repurchase agreements also involve the risk
that the purchaser fails to return the securities as agreed upon, files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of a counterparty, the Fund is considered to be an unsecured creditor with respect to excess collateral and
as such the return of excess collateral may be delayed. The Fund will pledge assets determined to be liquid by the Adviser to cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements.
As of the end of the reporting period, the Funds outstanding balances on its reverse repurchase agreements were as follows:

9. Borrowing Arrangements
Inter-Fund Borrowing and
Lending
The SEC has granted an exemptive order permitting registered open-end and closed-end Nuveen funds to participate in an inter-fund lending facility
whereby the Nuveen funds may directly lend to and borrow money from each other for temporary purposes (e.g., to satisfy redemption requests or when a sale of securities fails, resulting in an unanticipated cash shortfall) (the
Inter-Fund Program). The closed-end Nuveen funds, including the Fund covered by this shareholder report, will participate only as lenders, and not as borrowers, in the Inter-Fund Program because such closed-end funds rarely, if ever,
need to borrow cash to meet redemptions. The Inter-Fund Program is subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things, the requirements that (1) no fund may borrow or lend money through the Inter-Fund Program unless it receives a more
favorable interest rate than is typically available from a bank or other financial institution for a comparable transaction; (2) no fund may borrow on an unsecured basis through the Inter-Fund Program unless the funds outstanding borrowings
from all sources immediately after the inter-fund borrowing total 10% or less of its total assets; provided that if the borrowing fund has a secured borrowing outstanding from any other lender, including but not limited to another fund, the
inter-fund loan must be secured on at least an equal priority basis with at least an equivalent percentage of collateral to loan value; (3) if a funds total outstanding borrowings immediately after an inter-fund borrowing would be greater than
10% of its total assets, the fund may borrow through the inter-fund loan on a secured basis only; (4) no fund may lend money if the loan would cause its aggregate outstanding loans through the Inter-Fund Program to exceed 15% of its net assets at
the time of the loan; (5) a funds inter-fund loans to any one fund shall not exceed 5% of the lending funds net assets; (6) the duration of inter-fund loans will be limited to the time required to receive payment for securities sold, but
in no event more than seven days; and (7) each inter-fund loan may be called on one business days notice by a lending fund and may be repaid on any day by a borrowing fund. In addition, a Nuveen fund may participate in the Inter-Fund Program
only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with the funds investment objective and investment policies. The Board is responsible for overseeing the Inter-Fund Program.
The limitations detailed above and the other conditions of the SEC exemptive order permitting the Inter-Fund Program are designed to minimize the risks associated with
Inter-Fund Program for both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. However, no borrowing or lending activity is without risk. When a fund borrows money from another fund, there is a risk that the loan could be called on one days notice or
not renewed, in which case the fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher rate or take other actions to payoff such loan if an inter-fund loan is not available from another fund. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost
investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.
During the current reporting period, the Fund did not enter into any inter-fund loan activity.

Risk
Considerations
Fund shares are not guaranteed or endorsed by any bank or other insured depository institution, and are not federally insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Nuveen Multi-Market Income Fund (JMM)
Investing in closed-end funds involves risk; principal loss is possible. There is no guarantee the Funds investment objectives will be achieved. Closed-end fund
shares may frequently trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value. Investing in mortgage-backed securities entails credit risk, the risk that the servicer fails to perform its duties, liquidity risks, interest rate risks,
structure risks, pre-payment risk, and geographical concentration risks. Leverage increases return volatility and magnifies the Funds potential return and its risks; there is no guarantee a funds leverage strategy will be
successful. These and other risk considerations including hedging risk are described in more detail on the Funds web page at www.nuveen.com/JMM.
