SECURITY AND ISSUER

This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on 8/14/23, as amended by Amendment No.1 filed 9/29/23 and Amendment No.2 filed 11/10/23; with respect to the common shares of Nuveen Real Asset Income & Growth Fund. This Amendment No. 3 amends Items 3, 4, 5 and 7, as set forth below.

Item 3.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

Funds for the purchase of the Common Shares were derived from the subscription proceeds from investors and the capital appreciation thereon and margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business.  In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account, which may exist from time to time.  Since other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Common Shares reported herein. A total of approximately $27,153,047 was paid to acquire the Common Shares reported herein.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

On December 1, 2023, Saba Capital, on behalf of Saba Capital Master Fund, Ltd., sent a letter to the Issuer containing a shareholder proposal under Rule 14a-8, for presentation to the Issuer’s shareholders at the Issuer’s 2024 annual meeting of shareholders, asking the Board to take all necessary steps in its power to declassify the Board (such letter, the “Declassification Proposal Letter”).

The foregoing summary of the Declassification Proposal Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Declassification Proposal Letter, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated by reference herein.
