| Nuveen ESG Emerging Markets Equity ETF |
$40 | 0.36% | ||
| Performance Highlights • The Nuveen ESG Emerging Markets Equity ETF (NUEM)’s total return at net asset value (NAV) was 24.42% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2025. The Fund’s custom index, the Nuveen ESG Emerging Markets Equity Index, returned 24.94%. • The difference between the Fund’s total return at NAV and that of the custom index is attributable to management fees and other expenses incurred by the Fund that are not incurred by the custom index, along with fair value pricing of the Fund’s international securities. • A non‑U.S. Equity Fund’s return may sometimes diverge from the return of its benchmark index more than would be expected. This may be the result of a fair-value pricing adjustment. Many foreign exchanges close before the Fund’s daily net asset value (NAV) is calculated (generally 4 p.m. ET). In the intervening hours, the value of foreign securities can change, and these changes are not reflected immediately in the Fund’s benchmark index. They may, however, be reflected in the calculation of the Fund’s NAV for that day. • During the reporting period, the Fund’s custom index underperformed the Fund’s base index, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net), which returned 27.91%. • Performance drivers between the Fund’s custom index and base index during the reporting period: • Top contributors to the custom index’s relative performance • Security selection in the industrials sector, led by overweights to SK Square, Ltd., Bharat Electronics Limited, and LS Electric Co., Ltd. • Security selection in the financials sector, led by overweights to Agricultural Bank of China Limited and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited. • Top detractors from the custom index’s relative performance • Security selection in the consumer discretionary sector, including a lack of exposure to Alibaba Group Holding Limited and overweights to Meituan and Trent Limited. • Security selection in the materials sector, including overweights to LG Chem Ltd., Pidilite Industries Limited, and Asian Paints Ltd. • An underweight and security selection in the information technology sector, including a lack of exposure to SK Hynix Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. |

| Item 4. | Principal Accountant Fees and Services. |
Nushares ETF Trust
The following tables show the amount of fees that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), the Registrant’s current independent registered public accounting firm, billed to the Registrant during the Registrant’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, and the amount of fees that KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), the Registrant’s former independent registered public accounting firm, billed to the Registrant during the Registrant’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2024. The Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that PwC and KPMG provided to the Registrant, except for those non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the “pre-approval exception”). The pre-approval exception for services provided directly to the Registrant waives the pre-approval requirement for services other than audit, review or attest services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Registrant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Registrant did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee’s attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the audit is completed.
The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its Chair.

The Audit Committee requested and received information from PwC and KPMG about any non-audit services rendered during the Registrant’s last fiscal year to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The Committee considered this information in evaluating PwC’s and KPMG’s independence.

(a) Previous independent registered public accounting firm: On October 24, 2024, the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”), upon recommendation from the Audit Committee, notified KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) that it would be dismissed as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds effective upon (i) completion of KPMG’s audit of the Funds’ financial statements to be included in the Funds’ Annual Report on Form N-CSR (the “2024 Annual Report”) for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024 and (ii) the issuance of KPMG’s report on the same. KPMG’s dismissal as the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm was effective on December 26, 2024, which is the date on which KPMG issued their report on their audit of the Funds’ financial statements to be included in the 2024 Annual Report. KPMG’s audit reports on the Funds’ financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Funds’ fiscal years ended October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, and for the subsequent interim period through December 26, 2024, there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG would have caused them to make reference in connection with their reports opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement. During the Funds’ fiscal years ended October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023 and for the subsequent interim period through December 26, 2024, there were no reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)).

During the Funds’ fiscal years ended October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023 and for the subsequent interim period through December 26, 2024, the Funds have not consulted with PwC regarding any of the matters described in Regulation S-K Item 304 (“S-K 304”), S-K 304(a)(2)(i) or S-K 304(a)(2)(ii) disclosure.
| Item 9. | Proxy Disclosures for Open-End Management Investment Companies. |
