understood that the
2
Sub-Adviser will not be deemed to have acted unlawfully, or to have breached a
fiduciary duty to the Trust or the Fund, or be in breach of any obligation owing
to the Trust or the Fund under this Agreement, or otherwise, solely by reason of
its having caused the Trust to pay a member of a securities exchange, a broker
or a dealer a commission for effecting a securities transaction for the Trust in
excess of the amount of commission another member of an exchange, broker or
dealer would have charged if the Sub-Adviser determined in good faith that the
commission paid was reasonable in relation to the brokerage or research services
provided by such member, broker or dealer, viewed in terms of that particular
transaction or the Sub-Adviser's overall responsibilities with respect to its
accounts, including the Trust, as to which it exercises investment discretion.
In addition, if in the judgment of the Sub-Adviser, the Fund would be benefited
by supplemental services, the Sub-Adviser is authorized to pay spreads or
commissions to brokers or dealers furnishing such services in excess of spreads
or commissions which another broker or dealer may charge for the same

commission or spread paid was reasonable in relation to the services provided.
The Sub-Adviser will properly communicate to the officers and trustees of the
Trust such information relating to transactions for the Fund as they may
reasonably request. In no instance will portfolio securities be purchased from
or sold to the Manager, Sub-Adviser or any affiliated person of either the
Trust, Manager, or Sub-Adviser, except as may be permitted under the 1940 Act;
Sub-Adviser further agrees that it:

services as it uses in providing services to fiduciary
accounts for which it has investment responsibilities;

Securities and Exchange Commission in all material respects
and in addition will conduct its activities under this
Agreement in accordance with any applicable regulations of any
governmental authority pertaining to its investment advisory

of the Trust and will make appropriate persons available for
the purpose of reviewing with representatives of Manager and

performance of the Fund in relation to standard industry
indices and general conditions affecting the marketplace and
will provide various other reports from time to time as
reasonably requested by Manager; and

3. Expenses. During the term of this Agreement, Sub-Adviser will pay
all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this
Agreement other than the cost of securities (including brokerage commission, if
any) purchased for the Trust.
4. Compensation. For the services provided and the expenses assumed
pursuant to this Agreement, Manager will pay the Sub-Adviser, and the
Sub-Adviser agrees to accept as full compensation therefor, a portfolio
management fee based on daily net assets at the annual rate as set forth below:
NUVEEN INNOVATION FUND
Daily Net Assets Annual Rate
of Fee
For the first $1 billion .37 of 1%
For assets over $1 billion .30 of 1%
The management fee shall accrue on each calendar day, and shall be payable
monthly on the first business day of the next succeeding calendar month. The
daily fee accrual shall be computed by multiplying the fraction of one divided
by the number of days in the calendar year by the applicable annual rate of fee,
and multiplying this product by the net assets of the Trust, determined in the
manner established by the Board of Trustees, as of the close of business on the
last preceding business day on which the Trust's net asset value was determined.
For the month and year in which this Agreement becomes effective or terminates,
there shall be an appropriate proration on the basis of the number of days that
the Agreement is in effect during the month and year, respectively.
5. Services to Others. Manager understands, and has advised Trust's
Board of Trustees, that Sub-Adviser now acts, or may in the future act, as an
investment adviser to fiduciary and other managed accounts, and as investment
adviser or sub-investment adviser to one other investment company that is not a
series of the Trust, provided that whenever the Fund and one or more other
investment advisory clients of Sub-Adviser have available funds for investment,
investments suitable and appropriate for each will be allocated in a manner
believed by Sub-Adviser to be equitable to each. Manager recognizes, and has
advised Trust's Board of Trustees, that in some cases this procedure may
adversely affect the size of the position that the Fund may obtain in a
particular security. It is further agreed that, on occasions when the
Sub-Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests
of the Fund as well as other accounts, it may, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, but will not be obligated to, aggregate the securities to be so
sold or purchased for the Fund with those to be sold or purchased for other
accounts in order to obtain favorable execution and lower brokerage commissions.
In addition, Manager understands, and has advised Trust's Board of Trustees,
that the persons employed by Sub-Adviser to assist in Sub-Adviser's duties under
this Agreement will not devote their full such efforts and service to the Trust.
It is also agreed that the Sub-Adviser may use any supplemental research
obtained for the benefit of the Trust in providing investment advice to its
other investment advisory accounts or for managing its own accounts.

6. Limitation of Liability. Manager will not take any action against
Sub-Adviser to hold Sub-Adviser liable for any error of judgment or mistake of
law or for any loss suffered by the Trust in connection with the performance of
Sub-Adviser's duties under this Agreement, except for a loss resulting from
Sub-Adviser's willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the
performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its
obligations and duties under this Agreement.
7. Term; Termination; Amendment. This Agreement shall become effective
with respect to the Fund on the same date as the Management Agreement between
the Trust and the Manager becomes effective, provided that it has been approved
by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund in
accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act, and shall remain in full force
until August 1, 2001 unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. This
Agreement shall continue in force from year to year thereafter with respect to
the Fund, but only as long as such continuance is specifically approved for the
Fund at least annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder; provided, however, that if the continuation of this
Agreement is not approved for the Fund, the Sub-Adviser may continue to serve in
such capacity for the Fund in the manner and to the extent permitted by the 1940
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.
This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its
assignment and may be terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty
by the Manager on sixty (60) days' written notice to the Sub-Adviser. This
Agreement may be terminated by the Sub-Adviser as of July 31 of any year after

to the Manager. This Agreement may also be terminated by the Trust with respect
to the Fund by action of the Board of Trustees or by a vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of such Fund on sixty (60) days' written notice to
the Sub-Adviser by the Trust.
This Agreement may be terminated with respect to the Fund at any time
without the payment of any penalty by the Manager, the Board of Trustees or by
vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund in the event
that it shall have been established by a court of competent jurisdiction that
the Sub-Adviser or any officer or director of the Sub-Adviser has taken any
action which results in a breach of the covenants of the Sub-Adviser set forth
herein.
The terms "assignment" and "vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities" shall have the meanings set forth in the 1940 Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder.
Termination of this Agreement shall not affect the right of the

described in Section 4 earned prior to such termination. This Agreement shall
