NUVEEN INVESTMENT TRUST V

AND

NUVEEN ASSET MANAGEMENT

NUVEEN INVESTMENT TRUST V, a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) as an open-end diversified management series investment company (“Trust”), hereby appoints NUVEEN ASSET MANAGEMENT, a Delaware corporation registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 as an investment adviser, of Chicago, Illinois (“Manager”), to furnish investment advisory and management services and certain administrative services with respect to the portion of its assets represented by the shares of beneficial interest issued in the series listed in Schedule A hereto, as such schedule may be amended from time to time (each such series hereinafter referred to as “Fund”). Trust and Manager hereby agree that:

1. Investment Management Services. Manager shall manage the investment operations of Trust and each Fund, subject to the terms of this Agreement and to the supervision and control of Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees”). Manager agrees to perform, or arrange for the performance of, the following services with respect to each Fund:

(a) to obtain and evaluate such information relating to economies, industries, businesses, securities and commodities markets, and individual securities, commodities and indices as it may deem necessary or useful in discharging its responsibilities hereunder;

(b) to formulate and maintain a continuous investment program in a manner consistent with and subject to (i) Trust’s agreement and declaration of trust and by-laws; (ii) the Fund’s investment objectives, policies, and restrictions as set forth in written documents furnished by the Trust to Manager; (iii) all securities, commodities, and tax laws and regulations applicable to the Fund and Trust; and (iv) any other written limits or directions furnished by the Trustees to Manager;

(c) unless otherwise directed by the Trustees, to determine from time to time securities, commodities, interests or other investments to be purchased, sold, retained or lent by the Fund, and to implement those decisions, including the selection of entities with or through which such purchases, sales or loans are to be effected;

(d) to use reasonable efforts to manage the Fund so that it will qualify as a regulated investment company under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;

(e) to make recommendations as to the manner in which voting rights, rights to consent to Trust or Fund action, and any other rights pertaining to Trust or the Fund shall be exercised;

(f) to make available to Trust promptly upon request all of the Fund’s records and ledgers and any reports or information reasonably requested by the Trust; and

(g) to the extent required by law, to furnish to regulatory authorities any information or reports relating to the services provided pursuant to this Agreement.

Except as otherwise instructed from time to time by the Trustees, with respect to execution of transactions for Trust on behalf of a Fund, Manager shall place, or arrange for the placement of, all orders for purchases, sales, or loans with issuers, brokers, dealers or other counterparts or agents selected by Manager. In connection with the selection of all such parties for the placement of all such orders, Manager shall attempt to obtain most favorable execution and price, but may nevertheless in its sole discretion as a secondary factor, purchase and sell portfolio securities from and to brokers and dealers who provide Manager with statistical, research and other information, analysis, advice, and similar services. In recognition of such services or brokerage services provided by a broker or dealer, Manager is hereby authorized to pay such broker or dealer a commission or spread in excess of that which might be charged by another broker or dealer for the same transaction if the Manager determines in good faith that the commission or spread is reasonable in relation to the value of the services so provided.

Trust hereby authorizes any entity or person associated with Manager that is a member of a national securities exchange to effect any transaction on the exchange for the account of a Fund to the extent permitted by and in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act or 1934 and Rule 11a2-2(T) thereunder. Trust hereby consents to the retention by such entity or person of compensation for such transactions in accordance with Rule 11a-2-2(T)(a)(iv).

–2–

Manager may, where it deems to be advisable, aggregate orders for its other customers together with any securities of the same type to be sold or purchased for Trust or one or more Funds in order to obtain best execution or lower brokerage commissions. In such event, Manager shall allocate the shares so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, in a manner it considers to be equitable and fair and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to Trust, the Funds, and Manager’s other customers.

Manager shall for all purposes be deemed to be an independent contractor and not an agent of Trust and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent Trust in any way.

2. Administrative Services. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and to the supervision and control of the Trustees, Manager shall provide to the Trust facilities, equipment, statistical and research data, clerical, accounting and bookkeeping services, internal auditing and legal services, and personnel to carry out all management services required for operation of the business and affairs of the Funds other than those services to be performed by the Trust’s Distributor pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, those services to be performed by the Trust’s Custodian pursuant to the Custody Agreement, those services to be performed by the Trust’s Transfer Agent pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement, those services to be provided by the Trust’s Custodian pursuant to the Accounting Agreement and those services normally performed by the Trust’s counsel and auditors.

3. Use of Affiliated Companies and Subcontractors. In connection with the services to be provided by Manager under this Agreement, Manager may, to the extent it deems appropriate, and subject to compliance with the requirements of applicable laws and regulations, make use of (i) its affiliated companies and their directors, trustees, officers, and employees and (ii) subcontractors selected by Manager, provided that Manager shall supervise and remain fully responsible for the services of all such third parties in accordance with and to the extent provided by this Agreement. All costs and expenses associated with services provided by any such third parties shall be borne by Manager or such parties.

4. Expenses Borne by Trust. Except to the extent expressly assumed by Manager herein or under a separate agreement between Trust and Manager and except to the extent required by law to be paid by Manager, Manager shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incidental to the organization, operations or business of the Trust. Without limitation, such costs and expenses shall include but not be limited to:

(a) all charges of depositories, custodians and other agencies for the safekeeping and servicing of its cash, securities, and other property;

–3–

(b) all charges for equipment or services used for obtaining price quotations or for communication between Manager or Trust and the custodian, transfer agent or any other agent selected by Trust;

(d) all charges for services of Trust’s independent auditors and for services to Trust by legal counsel;

(e) all compensation of Trustees, other than those affiliated with Manager, all expenses incurred in connection with their services to Trust, and all expenses of meetings of the Trustees or committees thereof;

(f) all expenses incidental to holding meetings of holders of units of interest in the Trust (“Shareholders”), including printing and of supplying each record-date Shareholder with notice and proxy solicitation material, and all other proxy solicitation expense;

(g) all expenses of printing of annual or more frequent revisions of Trust prospectus(es) and of supplying each then-existing Shareholder with a copy of a revised prospectus;

(h) all expenses related to preparing and transmitting certificates representing Trust shares;

(i) all expenses of bond and insurance coverage required by law or deemed advisable by the Board of Trustees;

(j) all brokers’ commissions and other normal charges incident to the purchase, sale, or lending of portfolio securities;

–4–

(k) all taxes and governmental fees payable to Federal, state or other governmental agencies, domestic or foreign, including all stamp or other transfer taxes;

(l) all expenses of registering and maintaining the registration of Trust under the 1940 Act and, to the extent no exemption is available, expenses of registering Trust’s shares under the 1933 Act, of qualifying and maintaining qualification of Trust and of Trust’s shares for sale under securities laws of various states or other jurisdictions and of registration and qualification of Trust under all other laws applicable to Trust or its business activities;

(m) all interest on indebtedness, if any, incurred by Trust or a Fund; and

(n) all fees, dues and other expenses incurred by Trust in connection with membership of Trust in any trade association or other investment company organization.

5. Allocation of Expenses Borne by Trust. Any expenses borne by Trust that are attributable solely to the organization, operation or business of a Fund shall be paid solely out of Fund assets. Any expense borne by Trust which is not solely attributable to a Fund, nor solely to any other series of shares of Trust, shall be apportioned in such manner as Manager determines is fair and appropriate, or as otherwise specified by the Board of Trustees.

6. Expenses Borne by Manager. Manager at its own expense shall furnish all executive and other personnel, office space, and office facilities required to render the investment management and administrative services set forth in this Agreement.

In the event that Manager pays or assumes any expenses of Trust or a Fund not required to be paid or assumed by Manager under this Agreement, Manager shall not be obligated hereby to pay or assume the same or similar expense in the future; provided that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve Manager of any obligation to Trust or a Fund under any separate agreement or arrangement between the parties.

7. Management Fee. For the services rendered, facilities provided, and charges assumed and paid by Manager hereunder, Trust shall pay to Manager out of the assets of each Fund fees at the annual rate for such Fund as set forth in Schedule B to this Agreement. For each Fund, 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.

–5–

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 Fund, 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 Fund’s net asset value was determined.

8. State Expense Limitation. If for any fiscal year of a Fund, its aggregate operating expenses (“Aggregate Operating Expenses”) exceed the applicable percentage expense limit imposed under the securities law and regulations of any state in which Shares of the Fund are qualified for sale (the “State Expense Limit”), the Manager shall pay such Fund the amount of such excess. For purposes of this State Expense Limit, Aggregate Operating Expenses shall (a) include (i) any fees or expenses reimbursements payable to Manager pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) to the extent the Fund invests all or a portion of its assets in another investment company registered under the 1940 Act, the pro rata portion of that company’s operating expenses allocated to the Fund, and (iii) any compensation payable to Manager pursuant to any separate agreement relating to the Fund’s administration, but (b) exclude any interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and other normal charges incident to the purchase, sale or loan of securities, commodity interests or other investments held by the Fund, litigation and indemnification expense, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of business. Except as otherwise agreed to by the parties or unless otherwise required by the law or regulation of any state, any reimbursement by Manager to a Fund under this section shall not exceed the management fee payable to Manager by the Fund under this Agreement.

Any payment to a Fund by Manager hereunder shall be made monthly, by annualizing the Aggregate Operating Expenses for each month as of the last day of the month. An adjustment for payments made during any fiscal year of the Fund shall be made on or before the last day of the first month following such fiscal year of the Fund if the Annual Operating Expenses for such fiscal year (i) do not exceed the State Expense Limitation or (ii) for such fiscal year there is no applicable State Expense Limit.

9. Retention of Sub-Adviser. Subject to obtaining the initial and periodic approvals required under Section 15 of the 1940 Act, Manager may retain one or more sub-advisers at Manager’s own cost and expense for the purpose of furnishing one or more of the services described in Section 1 hereof with respect to Trust or one or more Funds. Retention of a sub-adviser shall in no way reduce the responsibilities or obligations of Manager under this Agreement, and Manager shall be responsible to Trust and its Funds for all acts or omissions of any sub-adviser in connection with the performance or Manager’s duties hereunder.

–6–

10. Non-Exclusivity. The services of Manager to Trust hereunder are not to be deemed exclusive and Manager shall be free to render similar services to others.

11. Standard of Care. The Manager shall not be liable for any loss sustained by reason of the purchase, sale or retention of any security, whether or not such purchase, sale or retention shall have been based upon the investigation and research made by any other individual, firm or corporation, if such recommendation shall have been selected with due care and in good faith, except loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence on the part of the Manager in the performance of its obligations and duties, or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

12. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended as to the Trust or any Fund without the affirmative votes (a) of a majority of the Board of Trustees, including a majority of those Trustees who are not “interested persons” of Trust or of Manager, voting in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (b) of a “majority of the outstanding shares” of Trust or, with respect to any amendment affecting an individual Fund, a “majority of the outstanding shares” of that Fund. The terms “interested persons” and “vote of a majority of the outstanding shares” shall be construed in accordance with their respective definitions in the 1940 Act and, with respect to the latter term, in accordance with Rule 18f-2 under the 1940 Act.

13. Effective Date and Termination. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Fund as of the effective date for that Fund specified in Schedule A hereto. This Agreement may be terminated at any time, without payment of any penalty, as to any Fund by the Board of Trustees of Trust, or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of that fund, upon at least sixty (60) days’ written notice to Manager. This Agreement may be terminated by Manager at any time upon at least sixty (60) days’ written notice to Trust. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act). Unless terminated as hereinbefore provided, this Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to any Fund specified in Schedule A and thereafter from year to year only so long as such continuance is specifically approved with respect to that Fund at least annually (a) by a majority of those Trustees who are not interested persons of Trust or of Manager, voting in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (b) by either the Board of Trustees of Trust or by a “vote of a majority of the outstanding shares” of the Fund.

14. Ownership of Records; Interparty Reporting. All records required to be maintained and preserved by Trust pursuant to the provisions of rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 31(a) of the 1940 Act or other applicable laws or regulations which are maintained and preserved by Manager on behalf of Trust and any other records the parties mutually agree shall be maintained by Manager on behalf of Trust are the property of Trust and shall be surrendered by Manager promptly on request by Trust; provided that Manager may at its own expense make and retain copies of any such records.

Trust shall furnish or otherwise make available to Manager such copies of the financial statements, proxy statements, reports, and other information relating to the business and affairs of each Shareholder in a Fund as Manager may, at any time or from time to time, reasonably require in order to discharge its obligations under this Agreement.

Manager shall prepare and furnish to Trust as to each Fund statistical data and other information in such form and at such intervals as Trust may reasonably request.

15. Non-Liability of Trustees and Shareholders. Any obligation of Trust hereunder shall be binding only upon the assets of Trust (or the applicable Fund thereof) and shall not be binding upon any Trustee, officer, employee, agent or Shareholder of Trust. Neither the authorization of any action by the Trustees or Shareholders of Trust nor the execution of this Agreement on behalf of Trust shall impose any liability upon any Trustee or any Shareholder.

16. Use of Manager’s Name. Trust may use the name “Nuveen Investment Trust V” and the Fund names listed in Schedule A or any other name derived from the name “Nuveen” only for so long as this Agreement or any extension, renewal, or amendment hereof remains in effect, including any similar agreement with any organization which shall have succeeded to the business of Manager as investment adviser. At such time as this Agreement or any extension, renewal or amendment hereof, or such other similar agreement shall no longer be in effect, Trust will cease to use any name derived from the name “Nuveen” or otherwise connected with Manager, or with any organization which shall have succeeded to Manager’s business as investment adviser.

17. References and Headings. In this Agreement and in any such amendment, references to this Agreement and all expressions such as “herein,” “hereof,” and “hereunder’” shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement as amended or affected by any

such amendments. Headings are placed herein for convenience of reference only and shall not be taken as a part hereof or control or affect the meaning, construction, or effect of this Agreement.

NUVEEN INVESTMENT TRUST V

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

SCHEDULE A

The Funds of the Trust currently subject to this Agreement and the effective date of each are as follows:


FUND	EFFECTIVE DATE	INITIAL TERM
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Preferred Securities Fund	November 13, 2007	Until August 1, 2008

NUVEEN INVESTMENT TRUST V

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

SCHEDULE B

Compensation pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement shall be calculated with respect to each Fund in accordance with the following schedule applicable to the average daily net assets of the Fund: Each Fund’s Management Fee will equal the sum of a Fund-Level Fee and a Complex-Level Fee. Certain Funds are subject to expense limitations as described in this Schedule.

The Fund-Level Fee for each Fund shall be computed by applying the following annual rate to the average total daily net assets of the Fund:


Average Total Daily Net Assets	Rate
	Nuveen Preferred Securities Fund
For the first $125 million	.5500	%
For the next $125 million	.5375	%
For the next $250 million	.5250	%
For the next $500 million	.5125	%
For the next $1 billion	.5000	%
Over $2 billion	.4750	%

Nuveen Asset Management will waive fees and reimburse expenses in order to prevent total annual fund operating expenses (excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding the percentage of the average daily net assets of any class of fund shares of each Fund as shown on the table below, subject in all cases to possible further reductions as a result of reductions in the complex-level fee component of the management fee.


Fund	Permanent Expense Cap as a percentage of the average daily net assets of any class of the Fund
Nuveen Preferred Securities Fund	1.25	%

–12–

The Complex-Level Fee shall be calculated by reference to the daily net assets of the Eligible Funds, as defined in section 2 below (with such daily net assets to include, in the case of Eligible Funds whose advisory fees are calculated by reference to net assets that include net assets attributable to preferred stock issued by or borrowings by the fund, such leveraging net assets) (“Complex-Level Assets”), pursuant to the following annual fee schedule:


Complex-Level Managed Assets Breakpoint Level	Effective Rate at Breakpoint Level
($million)
55,000	.2000	%
56,000	.1996	%
57,000	.1989	%
60,000	.1961	%
63,000	.1931	%
66,000	.1900	%
71,000	.1851	%
76,000	.1806	%
80,000	.1773	%
91,000	.1691	%
125,000	.1599	%
200,000	.1505	%
250,000	.1469	%
300,000	.1445	%

“Eligible Funds”, for purposes of the Agreement as so amended, shall mean all Nuveen-branded closed-end and open-end registered investment companies organized in the United States. Any open-end or closed-end funds that subsequently become part of the Nuveen complex because either (a) Nuveen Investments, Inc. or its affiliates acquire the investment adviser to such funds (or the advisor’s parent), or (b) Nuveen Investments, Inc. or its affiliates acquire the fund’s adviser’s rights under the management agreement for such fund, will be evaluated by both Nuveen management and the Nuveen Funds’ Board, on a case-by-case basis, as to whether or not these acquired funds would be included in the Nuveen complex of Eligible Funds and, if so, whether there would be a basis for any adjustments to the complex-level breakpoints.
