Nuveen Energy MLP Total Return Fund (NYSE: JMF) and the Nuveen All Cap Energy MLP Opportunities Fund (NYSE: JMLP) announced that both funds intend to liquidate and distribute their net assets to shareholders.

The funds have fixed the close of business on May 8, 2020, as the effective date for determining the common shareholders of the funds entitled to receive liquidating distributions. The funds will continue trading on the New York Stock Exchange through May 4, 2020 and will be suspended from trading before the open of trading on May 5, 2020, after which time there will be no secondary market for the funds’ shares.
