INVESTMENT ADVISER NAME CHANGE
Effective January 1, 2011, Nuveen Asset Management, the Funds’ investment adviser, changed its name to Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (“Nuveen Fund Advisors”). Concurrently, Nuveen Fund Advisors formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, to house its portfolio management capabilities.
NUVEEN INVESTMENTS COMPLETES STRATEGIC COMBINATION WITH FAF ADVISORS
On December 31, 2010, Nuveen Investments completed the strategic combination between Nuveen Asset Management, the largest investment affiliate of Nuveen Investments, and FAF Advisors. As part of this transaction, U.S. Bancorp — the parent of FAF Advisors — received cash consideration and a 9.5% stake in Nuveen Investments in exchange for the long-term investment business of FAF Advisors, including investment-management responsibilities for the non-money market mutual funds of the First American Funds family.
The approximately $27 billion of mutual fund and institutional assets managed by FAF Advisors, along with the investment professionals managing these assets and other key personnel, have become part of Nuveen Asset Management, LLC. With these additions to Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, this affiliate now manages more than $100 billion of assets across a broad range of strategies from municipal and taxable fixed income to traditional and specialized equity investments.
This combination does not affect the investment objectives or strategies of the Funds in this report. Over time, Nuveen Investments expects that the combination will provide even more ways to meet the needs of investors who work with financial advisors and consultants by enhancing the multi-boutique model of Nuveen Investments, which also includes highly respected investment teams at HydePark, NWQ Investment Management, Santa Barbara Asset Management, Symphony Asset Management, Tradewinds Global Investors and Winslow Capital. Nuveen Investments managed approximately $206 billion of assets as of March 31, 2011.

Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
In 2010, the global economy recorded another year of recovery from the financial and economic crises of 2008, but many of the factors that caused the downturn still weigh on the prospects for continued improvement. In the U.S., ongoing weakness in housing values has put pressure on homeowners and mortgage lenders. Similarly, the strong earnings recovery for corporations and banks is only slowly being translated into increased hiring or more active lending. Globally, deleveraging by private and public borrowers has inhibited economic growth and that process is far from complete.
Encouragingly, constructive actions are being taken by governments around the world to deal with economic issues. In the U.S., the recent passage of a stimulatory tax bill relieved some of the pressure on the Federal Reserve to promote economic expansion through quantitative easing and offers the promise of sustained economic growth. A number of European governments are undertaking programs that could significantly reduce their budget deficits. Governments across the emerging markets are implementing various steps to deal with global capital flows without undermining international trade and investment.
The success of these government actions could determine whether 2011 brings further economic recovery and financial market progress. One risk associated with the extraordinary efforts to strengthen U.S. economic growth is that the debt of the U.S. government will continue to grow to unprecedented levels. Another risk is that over time there could be inflationary pressures on asset values in the U.S. and abroad, because what happens in the U.S. impacts the rest of the world economy. Also, these various actions are being taken in a setting of heightened global economic uncertainty, primarily about the supplies of energy and other critical commodities. In this challenging environment, your Nuveen investment team continues to seek sustainable investment opportunities and to remain alert to potential risks in a recovery still facing many headwinds. On your behalf, we monitor their activities to assure they maintain their investment disciplines.
As you will note elsewhere in this report, on December 31, 2010, Nuveen Investments completed a strategic combination with FAF Advisors, Inc., the manager of the First American Funds. The combination adds highly respected and distinct investment teams to meet the needs of investors and their advisors and is designed to benefit all fund shareholders by creating a fund organization with the potential for further economies of scale and the ability to draw from even greater talent and expertise to meet those investor needs.
As always, I encourage you to contact your financial consultant if you have any questions about your investment in a Nuveen Fund. On behalf of the other members of your Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
Robert P. Bremner
Chairman of the Board

What factors had the greatest influence on the U.S. economy and the national municipal market during the twelve-month period ending May 31, 2011?
During this period, the U.S. economy demonstrated some signs of modest improvement, supported by the efforts of both the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the federal government. For its part, the Fed continued to hold the benchmark fed funds rate in a target range of zero to 0.25% since cutting it to this record low level in December 2008. At its June
2011 meeting (following the end of this reporting period), the central bank stated that it anticipated keeping the fed funds rate at “exceptionally low levels” for an “extended period.” The Fed also completed its second round of quantitative easing with the purchase of $600 billion in longer-term U.S. Treasury bonds. The goal of this plan was to lower long-term interest rates and thereby stimulate economic activity and create jobs. The federal government continued to focus on implementing the economic stimulus package passed in early 2009 and aimed at providing job creation, tax relief, fiscal assistance to state and local governments, and expansion of unemployment benefits and other federal social welfare programs.
In the first quarter of 2011, the U.S. economy, as measured by the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), grew at an annualized rate of 1.9%, marking the seventh consecutive quarter of positive growth. The employment situation slowly improved, with the national jobless rate registering 9.1% in May 2011, down from 9.6% a year earlier. While the Fed’s longer-term inflation expectations remained stable, inflation over this period posted its largest twelve-month gain since October 2008, as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 3.6% year-over-year as of May 2011. The core CPI (which excludes food and energy) increased 1.5%, staying within the Fed’s unofficial objective of 2.0% or lower for this measure. The housing market remained a major weak spot in the economy. For the twelve months ended April 2011 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared), the average home price in the Standard & Poor’s (S&P)/Case-Shiller Index of 20 major metropolitan areas lost 4.0%, with six of the 20 metropolitan areas hitting their lowest levels since housing prices peaked in 2006.
Nuveen Investments | 5 |
The municipal bond market was affected by a significant decline in new tax exempt issuance during this period. One reason for the decrease in new tax-exempt supply was the heavy issuance of taxable municipal debt in 2010 under the Build America Bond (BAB) program, which was created as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of February 2009 and expired on December 31, 2010. Between the beginning of this reporting period on June 1, 2010, and the end of the BAB program, taxable BAB issuance totaled $74.5 billion, accounting for 28% of new bonds issued in the municipal market.
After rallying strongly during the first part of the period, the municipal market suffered a reversal in mid-November 2010, due largely to investor concerns about inflation, the federal deficit, and the deficit’s impact on demand for U.S. Treasury securities. Adding to this market pressure was media coverage of the strained finances of some state and local governments. As a result, money began to flow out of municipal mutual funds as yields rose and valuations declined. As we moved into the second quarter of 2011, we saw the environment in the municipal market improve.
Over the twelve months ended May 31, 2011, municipal bond issuance nationwide — both tax-exempt and taxable — totaled $335.7 billion, a decrease of 15% compared with the issuance of the twelve-month period ended May 31, 2010. For the first five months of 2011, municipal issuance nationwide was down 50% from the first five months of 2010. This decline reflects the heavy issuance of BABs at the end of 2010, as borrowers took advantage of the program’s favorable terms before its expiration at year end.
What type of economic environment did the six states profiled in this report experience?
The Kansas economy continued to struggle in the wake of the recent recession. Employment growth lagged the rest of the nation, largely due to job cuts in construction and state government. However, the Kansas unemployment rate stood at 6.6% at the end of the reporting period, comparing very favorably to a national rate of 9.1%. According to Moody’s Economy.com, manufacturing is expected to be a key to Kansas’s long-term recovery, as hiring is projected to accelerate in this high-wage industry. Moody’s also anticipates that consumer spending should pick up in the next year, as a result of the improving labor market and better household finances. Recently, Kansas has seen a rebound in tax revenues as a result of last year’s increase in the state sales tax and the rise in personal income, but spending cuts will be required to close the $550 million budget gap anticipated for the coming fiscal year. Kansas bond issuance totaled $2.6 billion for the period ended May 31, 2011, representing a 32.0% drop year over year, while issuance nationwide dropped a more modest 15.1% during the same time frame. Kansas bonds continue to boast above-average credit quality with a rating of Aa1 from Moody’s as of May 31, 2011.
Kentucky continued to face financial stress from declining revenues and a budgetary imbalance. After depleting all of its fiscal reserves in 2009 as a means to help close a budget gap, the state’s reserve levels moved into positive territory in 2010 with a slim $2.5 million at its disposal. Kentucky’s general fund ended fiscal 2010 with a net surplus of $51 million, which reflects a positive improvement over the prior year’s deficit. The $17 billion budget approved for the fiscal 2011-2012 biennium addressed a $1.5 billion

projected shortfall through a mix of one-time and recurring measures, including state agency cuts. In fiscal 2011, additional spending reductions have been necessary as a $100 million budget shortfall was anticipated in November 2010, due to the state’s overestimate of Medicaid revenue. The fiscal 2011 budget is structured to result in an ending balance of $281 million, to provide for adequate resources for the fiscal 2012 budget in the absence of federal stimulus funding. Despite these budgetary challenges, Kentucky is seeing signs of economic recovery, with state tax receipts, sales taxes and corporate income tax receipts on the rise, fueled in recent months by stronger manufacturing performance, according to Moody’s Economy.com. As of May 31, 2011, Kentucky’s unemployment rate was 9.8%, higher than all but seven other states but still its lowest level in more than two years. Kentucky issued nearly $4.7 billion in municipal bonds during the reporting period, representing a 4.7% increase over the prior 12 months and significantly exceeding the 15.1% decline in national bond issuance during the same time frame. The state maintained a credit rating of AA- from S&P but was downgraded to Aa2 by Moody’s in March 2011.
Michigan’s economy may finally be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, according to Moody’s Economy.com. After a decade of recession, Michigan is poised for recovery in tandem with the resurging U.S. automotive industry, where improving vehicle sales have resulted in more hiring and an expansion of headquarters, production and R&D facilities. Additionally, a profit-sharing program by U.S. automakers will benefit their employees financially, allowing them to shore up their household finances and pump retail sales dollars back into the local economy, while simultaneously generating tax revenue for the state. At present, however, unemployment remains high at 10.3%, among the worst in the nation and significantly above the national average of 9.1%, and the housing sector and payroll figures have yet to stabilize. The state government will continue to struggle to provide services to Michigan residents, following years of spending cuts, and a $1.8 billion shortfall is expected for fiscal 2012, primarily from the state’s general fund. Local governments are still suffering from declining property-tax revenues, most notably in the Detroit and Lansing areas. Michigan issued $5.9 billion in municipal bonds during the reporting period, a year-over-year decline of 22.0%, while national issuance dropped 15.1%. Michigan’s general obligation debt retained its ratings of Aa2 from Moody’s and AA- from S&P.
For 2010, Missouri posted GDP growth of 1.4%, compared with the national measure of 2.6%, which ranked Missouri 39th in percentage GDP growth by state. Although this represented a significant turnaround from 2009, when Missouri’s economy contracted 3.8%, the state’s heavy reliance on the manufacturing sector has hampered its ability to more fully participate in recovery. In May 2011, the jobless rate in Missouri was 8.9%, its lowest level since March 2009, down from 9.5% in May 2010. In May 2011, the Missouri legislature approved a $23.2 billion state budget for fiscal 2012 that cut funding for colleges and universities by 5.5% and held basic aid for K-12 education flat. As of May 2011, Moody’s and S&P rated Missouri general obligation debt at Aaa and AAA, respectively, with stable outlooks. During the twelve months ended May 31, 2011, municipal issuance in Missouri was down 28% from the previous twelve-month period, to $4.6 billion.

Ohio’s economic recovery stumbled during the reporting period, primarily in the area of job growth. Although Ohio’s unemployment rate measured 8.6% as of May 31, 2011 — well below its level of 10.2% from one year ago and below the national average of 9.1% — the state was among the worst in the nation for job growth, as nearly all employment gains from early 2010 were wiped out. Ohio’s manufacturing sector, which accounts for 12% of all jobs in the state, has moderated due to productivity gains and rising commodity prices, but favorable domestic demand, a thriving export market and the rebound in U.S. vehicle sales suggest that prospects are improving. Although the state’s heavy reliance on jobs in the manufacturing industry has been challenging to Ohio’s economy, employment gains have been sustainable in the education/health services and leisure/hospitality services sectors. Ohio’s general obligation debt continues to carry a rating of Aa1 from Moody’s and AA+ from S&P. The state issued $12.8 billion in municipal bonds during the twelve months ending May 31, 2011, an increase of 14.7% compared to a decline of 15.1% nationwide.
Wisconsin’s unemployment rate continued to trend below national levels, measuring 7.4% at the end of the reporting period, compared to the U.S. average of 9.1%. The state’s job losses have been primarily from the manufacturing sector, where the concentration of jobs has dropped from 17% of state employment in 2009 to 15.7% in 2010, yet remained well above the national average of 8.9%. Wisconsin’s economic recovery is expected to gain ground in 2011, as the state has a high concentration of jobs in machine tools and other capital goods producers — industries that are expected to benefit from stronger business investment spending in 2011. The state’s general fund has maintained a deficit for over a decade, reaching a substantial $2.94 billion as of June 30, 2010. However, the state closed fiscal 2010 with a positive cash balance of $383 million, a significant improvement over earlier estimates. Going forward, Wisconsin faces a $3.6 billion shortfall for the 2011-13 biennium. Governor Scott Walker’s proposed budget closes the gap with reductions in spending for education, the University of Wisconsin system, Medicaid and state aid to local governments. The plan also calls for selling $1.4 billion in new debt, of which $732 million would be general obligation debt. At period end, Wisconsin’s general obligation debt carried a rating of Aa2 from Moody’s and AA from S&P. The state issued $4.6 billion in municipal bonds during the 12 months ending May 31, 2011, a decrease of 11.9% compared to a decline of 15.1% nationwide.
How did the Funds perform during the twelve-month period?
The tables in the Fund Performance and Expense Ratios section of this report provide Class A Share total returns for the Funds for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods ending May 31, 2011. Each Fund’s total returns are compared with the performance of its corresponding market indexes and peer group averages.
During the twelve-month period, the Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) of the Missouri Fund outpaced the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) National Municipal Bond Index, while the Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin Funds lagged the index to varying degrees. The Ohio Fund outpaced its state-specific S&P municipal bond index, while the Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri and Wisconsin Funds lagged their corresponding state municipal bond indexes. All of the Funds beat their corresponding Lipper state-level peer group average.

What strategies were used to manage the Funds during the reporting period? How did these strategies influence performance?
All of the Funds continued to employ the same fundamental investment strategies and tactics used in previous years. Nuveen municipal bond portfolios are managed with a value-oriented approach and rely upon input from Nuveen’s experienced research team. Below we highlight the specific factors influencing each Fund’s investment strategy, as well as how we managed each portfolio in light of recent market conditions.
Nuveen Kansas and Wisconsin Municipal Bond Funds
Compared with the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) National Municipal Bond Index, the Kansas Fund’s duration positioning was advantageous, meaning that the portfolio’s added interest-rate sensitivity helped as rates declined modestly on balance. Security selection was also favorable, as a number of bonds in the portfolio performed relatively well, combining to provide a measurably positive impact on performance.
Meanwhile, credit quality and sector positioning had a mixed performance impact. Returns modestly suffered from the portfolio’s overweighting in non-rated bonds, and a slight underweighting in AAA-rated bonds also hurt, as these very high-quality securities outperformed their counterparts with weaker credit ratings. The Fund, however, was helped by its increased allocation to longer-dated bonds of sub-investment-grade quality.
On a sector basis, overweighting health care, especially hospital bonds, detracted in relative terms, though the portfolio’s exposure to strong-performing housing credits was a counterbalancing positive.
Most of the new purchases for the Kansas Fund took place in the second half of the reporting period. When possible, we capitalized on depressed market conditions to buy tax-exempt securities offering what we believed were attractive income streams and selling for lower-than-deserved prices. Purchases fitting this theme included several continuing care retirement community bonds; an A-rated state university bond; A-rated public utility bonds; and BBB-rated Puerto Rico water/sewer bonds, which, like all debt issued by U.S. territories, is generally tax-exempt for residents of every state.
In March 2011 we added some tender option bond trusts to the portfolio, as we believed favorable market conditions and extremely low borrowing costs provided a good opportunity to enhance the Fund’s yield while maintaining its duration at a desirable level in range of the benchmark. With the additional income provided by these leveraged securities, we purchased AAA-rated Johnson County public improvement bonds, which we believed offered good value.
To finance other purchases, we relied on the proceeds supplied by new investments from shareholders. We also selectively engaged in health care bond swaps, exchanging some of the Fund’s hospital bonds with other credits providing higher yields and comparable risk.
Like the Kansas Fund, the Wisconsin Fund’s performance was helped by our duration positioning. Given that interest rates slightly declined during the period, the portfolio’s slightly-longer-than-benchmark duration and increased exposure to longer-maturity bonds proved beneficial. Another factor that helped performance was an underweighting in BBB-rated bonds — which lagged the index return — and an overweighting in the outperforming A-rated bond category.
Nuveen Investments | 9 |
The Fund was meaningfully underweighted in state and local general obligation (GO) bonds which are exempt from both federal and state because these types of securities rarely come to market in Wisconsin. This left us underrepresented in the GO category compared with the national municipal bond market, hampering results as these securities generated good relative performance.
Unlike many other mutual funds, the Wisconsin Fund received substantial investment inflows during the period. With this healthy amount of cash coming into the portfolio, we had increased flexibility to diversify the Fund by purchasing bonds in a variety of sectors, and adding to certain positions in which the Fund was underexposed relative to the Wisconsin market.
During the municipal market’s downturn, with security prices low, we purchased bonds we believed offered exceptional value. These purchases included AA-rated sales tax revenue bonds and several lower-investment-grade-rated hospital bond issues. To purchase one of these latter securities, we used the proceeds generated by creating a tender option bond trust, which we established to take advantage of unusually attractive borrowing costs.
Because of the typically limited supply of fully tax-exempt Wisconsin state bonds, we continued to actively rely on U.S. territorial debt. During the period, we actively swapped out of certain Puerto Rico bonds to accomplish two management goals — diversifying the portfolio’s territorial bond exposure and increasing income without substantially adding risk. As an example, we sold intermediate-maturity Puerto Rico electric utility bonds with a 5% coupon and used the proceeds to purchase long-dated Puerto Rico water/sewer bonds with a 6% coupon. The Puerto Rico electric utility bond sales also enabled us to buy several Guam-issued bonds and broaden the range of the portfolio’s territorial bond exposure.
Nuveen Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio Municipal Bond Funds
Relative to the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) National Municipal Bond Index, the Kentucky Fund benefited from healthy exposure to intermediate-duration bonds, which were the best performers up and down the yield curve during the twelve-month reporting period ending May 31, 2011. The Fund also benefited modestly from its credit-quality positioning.
In contrast, sector allocation proved somewhat negative. A relative underweighting in corporate-backed industrial development revenue bonds detracted in light of the sector’s favorable performance. However, the Fund’s limited exposure to airport and toll-road bonds proved helpful, as those bond categories lagged the return of the national S&P municipal bond index. Also of note was the modest negative effect of individual bond selection; several of the portfolio’s long-dated zero-coupon bonds turned in weak results in a challenging environment for these types of highly interest-rate-sensitive securities.
New purchase activity for the Kentucky Fund was limited. In the first half of the twelve-month period, additions included several longer-dated, lower-rated water/sewer bonds; a housing bond issue; and a shorter-dated Kentucky transportation bond issue. As we discussed in a previous report to shareholders, we also added to our holdings in Louisville Arena Authority bonds, a credit we have long liked and whose proceeds helped fund a large basketball and multi-purpose arena in the state.
10 | Nuveen Investments |
Purchase activity was even more constrained in the second half of the reporting period —in large part because of investment outflows that shifted our focus away from adding many new bonds. Accordingly, new purchases were confined to a couple of A-minus-rated health care bonds as well as a public power bond issue.
To finance these portfolio additions as well as manage investment outflows, we used the proceeds of bond calls — of which there were a substantial amount throughout the period — and also sold some shorter-dated bonds for which there was good demand and whose performance potential was limited.
The Michigan Fund’s performance benefited from favorable interest-rate positioning. A helpful overweighting in the intermediate part of the yield curve boosted results, as did underweighting shorter- and longer-dated bonds, given these latter groups’ underperformance. Security selection was also helpful, especially the Fund’s holding in Detroit Medical Center bonds. These securities had been trading at a sizeable discount when they were called at their face value in early 2011 — an action that resulted in an immediate boost to the bonds’ price.
The Fund’s credit quality positioning was also positive on balance, despite some weakness from our non-rated holdings. Sector positioning further contributed positively, as the Fund’s overweighting in advance refunded bonds and underweighting in the lagging transportation bond sector helped results. However, our positioning within the utilities sector did not work well during the twelve-month reporting period.
There were relatively few additions to the Michigan portfolio throughout the past year. In the period’s first six months, we made only four new purchases — a longer-maturity AAA-rated water/sewer bond issue backed by property taxes; a shorter-maturity, lower-rated water/sewer issue backed by water revenues; a longer-dated insured health care bond issue; and BBB-rated charter school bonds. The limited activity continued throughout the period’s second half, with purchases including a couple of longer dated, health care credits and several local general obligation bonds. In addition, we took advantage of the municipal bond market’s decline in early 2011 to add Michigan tobacco bonds at what we believed were attractive prices.
We also established two inverse-floating rate trusts, using a modest amount of leverage in an environment of unusually low borrowing costs to both better align the Fund’s duration positioning and add to the Fund’s income generating capabilities.
To finance new purchases and meet investment outflows, we largely applied the proceeds of bond calls — most notably the Detroit Medical Center call we mentioned earlier. We also periodically sold some advance refunded bonds for which we found ready buyers because of the securities’ limited credit- and interest-rate risk. Other sales included industrial development revenue bonds for attractive prices, in our opinion.
Duration positioning helped the Ohio Fund’s performance relative to the S&P National Municipal Bond Index. The outperformance was driven by a useful underweighting in the shortest part of the yield curve as well as modestly overweighting the curve’s best-performing segment, its intermediate portion. Security selection also added to performance, thanks to the combined contribution of a number of positively performing bond issues.
Nuveen Investments | 11 |
In contrast, a slight relative overweighting in bonds with BBB credit ratings hurt, given the overall underperformance of these lower-investment-grade credits. On a sector basis, underweighting the strong-performing state general obligation bond category hurt results. Having increased exposure to tobacco bonds also detracted in light of those securities’ relatively weak returns. More favorably, the Fund’s contribution from health care bonds was helpful.
We were fairly active in purchasing new bonds for the Ohio Fund. During the first half of the period, for example, we added a number of new health care issues — a combination of hospital and continuing care retirement community bonds — taking advantage of Nuveen’s substantial credit research experience in this sector. In the second half of the period, we continued to emphasize this portion of the market, adding two attractively priced health care bonds with credit ratings of AA-. Other purchases during this time included a water/sewer bond issue, a sales-tax appropriation bond issue and a local Ohio general obligation bond issue — all similarly featuring AA- credit ratings.
We also took advantage of extreme volatility in the market to buy creditworthy bonds at unusually low prices relative to their yields. As an example of this type of opportunistic purchase, we added Cleveland Clinic health care bonds when they appeared to offer exceptional value. We placed these bonds in a leveraged tender option bond trust and, capitalizing on historically low borrowing costs, added income to the portfolio that enabled us to finance additional purchases.
The Fund, like many others, encountered investment outflows amid the market’s decline. We were able to satisfy shareholder redemptions, however, largely through the proceeds of bond calls. We also engaged in limited bond sales, which included several industrial development revenue bonds whose future appreciation potential we believed was limited; bonds with structures that have typically appealed to individual investors and whose prices reflected the increased demand; and very-short-dated advance refunded bonds. We also engaged in a large Ohio tobacco bond swap, exchanging shorter-maturity holdings for longer-dated bonds by the same issuer. This enabled us to increase the portfolio’s income by locking in a higher interest rate for a longer period and also reduced the dollar price of our holdings.
Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund
Relative to the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) National Municipal Bond Index, the Missouri Fund’s performance was helped by favorable maturity positioning. Specifically, the portfolio was overweighted in intermediate-duration bonds — a segment of the yield curve that performed very well. The Fund also benefited from being underweighted in very-short-maturity bonds and very-long-maturity bonds — two segments of the yield curve that underperformed.
In contrast, the Fund’s sector positioning hampered results. Compared with the S&P index, for example, we had less exposure to state general obligation (GO) bonds — a typical stance for Nuveen, given our traditional emphasis on uncovering value from lower-rated, higher-yielding credits. But with many investors interested in limiting their exposure to risk, GO debt — which is often as perceived as less risky than many other bond types — tended to do well. The Fund was also hurt by its overweighting in the lagging

health care sector, though we made up that performance gap through strong bond selection within the group.
Late in 2010 and in the first few months of 2011, as municipal bond market conditions weakened, we looked to take advantage of relatively low security prices. This effort was somewhat hampered by a lack of supply of new bonds in Missouri, but when we could, we purchased longer-dated, lower-investment-grade-rated bonds we believed offered particularly good value. One noteworthy purchase fitting this theme was of BBB-rated Rockhurst University higher-education bonds, which we believed were priced attractively and offered a good risk/reward tradeoff. We also purchased 30-year, A1-rated Puerto Rico sales-tax bonds to keep the Fund invested at a time when Missouri issuance was limited.
Financing for the Fund’s new purchases generally came from bond calls. To a lesser extent, we also sold shorter bonds that had already realized most of their performance potential and for which we could find ready buyers.
Risk Considerations
Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Debt or fixed income securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk. The value of, and income generated by debt securities will decrease or increase based on changes in market interest rates. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Credit risk refers to an issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments when due. Credit risk is heightened for below-investment grade bonds. A concentration in specific states exposes the Funds to the additional risks facing issuers in those states.
Dividend Information
All share classes of the Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund saw a dividend increase in February 2011. The Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund’s share classes had a dividend cut in November 2010, while the Fund’s Class I Shares had an additional reduction in February 2011. The Class C and I Shares of the Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund received dividend cuts in August 2010 and February 2011, respectively, while all share classes of the Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund had their dividend increased in February 2011. The Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund’s Class B Shares had a dividend reduction in November 2010, and the Fund’s Class I Shares experienced a dividend cut in February 2011. The Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund did not have any changes to its monthly dividend during the twelve months ending May 31, 2011.
Each Fund seeks to pay dividends at a rate that reflects the past and projected performance of the Fund. To permit a Fund to maintain a more stable monthly dividend, the Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If the Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it will hold the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund’s net asset value. Conversely, if the Fund has cumulatively paid in dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute a negative UNII that will likewise be reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. Each Fund will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to
Nuveen Investments | 13 |
shareholders. As of May 31, 2011, all six Funds had positive UNII balances for tax purposes. The Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin Funds had positive UNII balances, while Kentucky had a negative UNII balance for financial reporting purposes.

Fund Performance and Expense Ratios (Unaudited)
The Fund Performance and Expense Ratios for each Fund are shown on the following twelve pages.
Returns quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns without sales charges would be lower if the sales charge were included. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Income is generally exempt from regular federal income taxes. Some income may be subject to state and local income taxes and to the federal alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to tax.
Returns may reflect a contractual agreement between certain Funds and the investment adviser to waive certain fees and expenses; see Notes to Financial Statements, Footnote 7 — Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates for more information. In addition, returns may reflect a voluntary expense limitation by the Funds’ investment adviser that may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice. For the most recent month-end performance visit www.nuveen.com or call (800) 257-8787.
Returns reflect differences in sales charges and expenses, which are primarily differences in distribution and service fees. Fund returns assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.
Comparative index and benchmark return information is provided for the Funds’ Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) only.
The expense ratios shown reflect the Funds’ total operating expenses (before fee waivers or expense reimbursements, if any) as shown in the Funds’ most recent prospectus. The expense ratios include management fees and other fees and expenses.

Yields (Unaudited) as of May 31, 2011
Dividend Yield is the most recent dividend per share (annualized) divided by the offering price per share.
The SEC 30-Day Yield is a standardized measure of a Fund’s yield that accounts for the future amortization of premiums or discounts of bonds held in the Fund’s portfolio. The SEC 30-Day Yield is computed under an SEC standardized formula and is based on the maximum offer price per share. Dividend Yield may differ from the SEC 30-Day Yield because the Fund may be paying out more or less than it is earning and it may not include the effect of amortization of bond premium.
The Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an after-tax basis at a specified tax rate. With respect to investments that generate qualified dividend income that is taxable at a maximum rate of 15%, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower.

As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including up-front and back-end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees, where applicable; and other Fund expenses. The Examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the period.
The information under “Actual Performance,” together with the amount you invested, allows you to estimate actual expenses incurred over the reporting period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the cost shown for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Incurred During Period” to estimate the expenses incurred on your account during this period.
The information under “Hypothetical Performance,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the respective Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you incurred for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other Funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds or share classes. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund, and Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund (each a series of the Nuveen Multistate Trust IV, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at May 31, 2011, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at May 31, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
General Information
The Nuveen Multistate Trust IV (the “Trust”) is an open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trust is comprised of the Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund (“Kansas”), Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund (“Kentucky”), Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund (“Michigan”), Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund (“Missouri”), Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund (“Ohio”) and Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund (“Wisconsin”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on July 1, 1996. The Funds were each organized as a series of predecessor trusts or corporations prior to that date.
Effective January 1, 2011, the Funds’ adviser, Nuveen Asset Management, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”), changed its name to Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser”). Concurrently, the Adviser formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), to house its portfolio management capabilities and to serve as the Funds’ sub-adviser, and the Funds’ portfolio managers became employees of the Sub-Adviser. This allocation of responsibilities between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser affects each of the Funds. The Adviser will compensate the Sub-Adviser for the portfolio management services it provides to the Funds from each Fund’s management fee.
Effective April 30, 2011, Nuveen Investments, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen, changed its name to Nuveen Securities, LLC.
Each Fund’s investment objective is to provide as high a level of current interest income exempt from regular federal, state and, in some cases, local income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital. Under normal market conditions, each Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in municipal bonds that pay interest that is exempt from regular federal and its respective state personal income tax. Each Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in investment grade municipal bonds rated BBB/Baa or higher at the time of purchase by at least one independent rating agency, or, if unrated, judged by the Sub-Adviser to be of comparable quality. Each Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in below investment grade municipal bonds, commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk” bonds. Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in municipal securities whose interest payments vary inversely with changes in short-term tax-exempt interest rates (i.e., inverse floating rate securities).
The Funds’ most recent prospectus provides further description of each Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies, and principal risks.
Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
Investment Valuation
Prices of municipal bonds are provided by a pricing service approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 for fair value measurement purposes. When price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal bonds) the pricing service establishes a security’s fair value using methods that may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer, or market activity, provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3, depending on the priority of the significant inputs.
Certain securities may not be able to be priced by the pre-established pricing methods as described above. Such securities may be valued by the Funds’ Board of Trustees or its designee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; debt securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market quotation; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of a Fund’s net asset value (as may be the case in non-U.S. markets on which the security is primarily traded) or make it difficult or impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as provided by the pricing service, is not deemed to reflect the security’s fair value. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Funds’ Board of Trustees or its designee.

Refer to Footnote 2 – Fair Value Measurements for further details on the leveling of securities held by the Funds as of the end of the reporting period.
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At May 31, 2011, Michigan, Missouri and Wisconsin had outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments of $787,964, $486,560 and $974,590, respectively. There were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the other Funds.
Investment Income
Investment income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and includes the accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Investment income also reflects paydown gains and losses, if any.
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and designated state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
The Funds declare dividends from their net investment income daily and pay shareholders monthly. Fund shares begin to accrue dividends on the business day after the day when the monies used to purchase Fund shares are collected by the Funds’ transfer agent.
Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Flexible Sales Charge Program
Class A Shares are generally sold with an up-front sales charge and incur a .20% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class A Share purchases of $1 million or more are sold at net asset value without an up-front sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase. Class B Shares were sold without an up-front sales charge but incur a .75% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a .20% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class B Shares are subject to a CDSC of up to 5% depending upon the length of time the shares are held by the investor (CDSC is reduced to 0% at the end of six years). Class B Shares convert to Class A Shares eight years after purchase. Class C Shares are sold without an up-front sales charge but incur a .55% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a .20% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class C Shares are subject to a CDSC of 1% if redeemed within twelve months of purchase. Class I Shares are not subject to any sales charge or 12b-1 distribution or service fees.
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. In turn, this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in face amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, that typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties, and (b) issues to a long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) that represents all remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received by the inverse floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the inverse floater holder bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. The price of an inverse floating rate security will be more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates, and because the inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of loss of the greater face value of the underlying bond.
Nuveen Investments | 91 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an “externally-deposited inverse floater”), or instead by first selling a fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a “self-deposited inverse floater”). The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (a) to cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to tender their notes at par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate bond held by the trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust. An investment in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(IF) – Inverse floating rate investment.” An investment in a self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction. In such instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(UB) – Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction,” with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate certificates issued by the trust as “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” the entire earnings of the underlying bond and the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as “Interest expense on floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Operations.
During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, each Fund invested in externally-deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.
Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a “recourse trust” or “credit recovery swap”) (such agreements referred to herein as “Recourse Trusts”) with a broker-dealer by which a Fund agrees to reimburse the broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the trust and the liquidation value of the floating rate certificates issued by the trust plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a Fund’s potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse floaters may increase beyond the value of a Fund’s inverse floater investments as a Fund may potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the floating rate certificates. At period end, any such shortfall is recognized as “Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
At May 31, 2011, each Fund’s maximum exposure to externally-deposited Recourse Trusts was as follows:
Kansas | Kentucky | Michigan | Missouri | Ohio | Wisconsin | |||||||||||||||||||
Maximum exposure to Recourse Trusts | $ | — | $ | 15,000,000 | $ | 2,400,000 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 3,000,000 |
The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest rate and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters for the following Funds during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, were as follows:
Kansas | Missouri | |||||||
Average floating rate obligations outstanding | $ | 1,248,425 | $ | 2,225,000 | ||||
Average annual interest rate and fees | 0.74 | % | 0.45 | % |
Derivative Financial Instruments
Each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments, including foreign currency forwards, futures, options and swap contracts. Although each Fund is authorized to invest in such derivative instruments, and may do so in the future, they did make any such investments during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011.
Market and Counterparty Credit Risk
In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts, when applicable, expose a Fund to minimal counterparty credit risk as they are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, which is counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.
Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount.
Zero Coupon Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.

Multiclass Operations and Allocations
Income and expenses of the Funds that are not directly attributable to a specific class of shares are prorated among the classes based on the relative settled shares of each class. Expenses directly attributable to a class of shares, which presently only include 12b-1 distribution and service fees, are recorded to the specific class.
Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Funds are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class.
Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on each Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on which a Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.
Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. | |
Level 2 – | Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). | |
Level 3 – | Significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of each Fund’s fair value measurements as of May 31, 2011:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, the Funds recognized no significant transfers to/from Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
3. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds’ investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes. The Funds did not invest in derivative instruments during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011.

6. Income Tax Information
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate securities reflected as financing transactions, if any. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset values of the Funds.

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund’s management fee consists of two components – a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within each individual Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables each Fund’s shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
The annual fund-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:
Average Daily Net Assets | Fund-Level Fee Rate | |||
For the first $125 million | .3500 | % | ||
For the next $125 million | .3375 | |||
For the next $250 million | .3250 | |||
For the next $500 million | .3125 | |||
For the next $1 billion | .3000 | |||
For the next $3 billion | .2750 | |||
For net assets over $5 billion | .2500 |
The annual complex-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:
Complex-Level Asset Breakpoint Level* | Effective Rate at Breakpoint Level | |||
$55 billion | .2000 | % | ||
$56 billion | .1996 | |||
$57 billion | .1989 | |||
$60 billion | .1961 | |||
$63 billion | .1931 | |||
$66 billion | .1900 | |||
$71 billion | .1851 | |||
$76 billion | .1806 | |||
$80 billion | .1773 | |||
$91 billion | .1691 | |||
$125 billion | .1599 | |||
$200 billion | .1505 | |||
$250 billion | .1469 | |||
$300 billion | .1445 |
* | The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily “eligible assets” of all Nuveen Funds. Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen Funds or assets in excess of $2 billion added to the Nuveen Fund complex in connection with the Adviser’s assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011. Eligible assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes the closed-end funds’ use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining eligible assets in certain circumstances. As of May 31, 2011, the complex-level fee rate for each of these Funds was .1774%. |
The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with the Sub-Adviser under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolios of the Funds. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.
The Adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse expenses of Ohio so that total annual Fund operating expenses (excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees, interest expenses, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed .75% of the average daily net assets of any class of Fund shares. The Adviser may also voluntarily reimburse additional expenses from time to time in any of the Funds. Voluntary reimbursements may be terminated at any time at the Adviser’s discretion.
98 | Nuveen Investments |
The Trust pays no compensation directly to those of its trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen-advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen-advised funds.
During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, Nuveen Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen, collected sales charges on purchases of Class A Shares, the majority of which were paid out as concessions to financial intermediaries as follows:

To compensate for commissions advanced to financial intermediaries, all 12b-1 service fees collected on Class B Shares during the first year following a purchase, all 12b-1 distribution fees collected on Class B Shares, and all 12b-1 service and distribution fees collected on Class C Shares during the first year following a purchase are retained by the Distributor.

8. New Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
On May 12, 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) modifying Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. At the same time, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”) 13, Fair Value Measurement. The objective by the FASB and IASB is convergence of their guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures. Specifically, the ASU requires reporting entities to disclose i) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers, ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a) quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used, b) a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The effective date of the ASU is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have on the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process
(Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees (each, a “Board” and each Trustee, a “Board Member”) of the Funds, including the Board Members who are not parties to the Funds’ advisory or sub-advisory agreements or “interested persons” of any such parties (the “Independent Board Members”), are responsible for approving the advisory agreements (each, an “Investment Management Agreement”) between each Fund and Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) and the sub-advisory agreements (each a “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Advisor and Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Advisor”) (the Investment Management Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are referred to collectively as the “Advisory Agreements”) and their periodic continuation. Pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), the Board is generally required to consider the continuation of advisory agreements and sub-advisory agreements on an annual basis. Accordingly, at an in-person meeting held on May 23-25, 2011 (the “May Meeting”), the Board, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, considered and approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for the Funds for an additional one-year period.
In preparation for their considerations at the May Meeting, the Board requested and received extensive materials prepared in connection with the review of the Advisory Agreements. The materials provided a broad range of information regarding the Funds, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor (the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor are collectively, the “Fund Advisers” and each, a “Fund Adviser”). As described in more detail below, the information provided included, among other things, a review of Fund performance, including Fund investment performance assessments against peer groups and appropriate benchmarks, a comparison of Fund fees and expenses relative to peers, a description and assessment of shareholder service levels for the Funds, a summary of the performance of certain service providers, a review of product initiatives and shareholder communications and an analysis of the Fund Adviser’s profitability with comparisons to comparable peers in the managed fund business. As part of their annual review, the Board also held a separate meeting on April 19-20, 2011, to review the Funds’ investment performance and consider an analysis provided by the Advisor of the Sub-Advisor which generally evaluated the Sub-Advisor’s investment team, investment mandate, organizational structure and history, investment philosophy and process, performance of the applicable Fund, and significant changes to the foregoing. As a result of their review of the materials and discussions, the Board presented the Advisor with questions and the Advisor responded.
The materials and information prepared in connection with the review of the Advisory Agreements at the May Meeting supplemented the information provided to the Board during the year. In this regard, throughout the year, the Board, acting directly or through its committees, regularly reviews the performance and various services provided by the Advisor and, since the internal restructuring described in Section A below, the Sub-Advisor. The Board meets at least quarterly as well as at other times as the need arises. At its quarterly meetings, the Board reviews reports by the Advisor which include, among other things, Fund performance, a review of the investment teams and compliance reports. The Board also meets with key investment personnel managing the Fund portfolios during the year. In addition, the Board continues its program of seeking to visit each sub-advisor to the Nuveen funds at least once over a multiple year rotation, meeting with key investment and business personnel. The Board also met with State Street Bank & Trust Company, the Funds’ accountant and custodian, in 2010. The Board considers factors and information that are relevant to its consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreements at these meetings held throughout the year. Accordingly, the Board considered the information provided and knowledge gained at these meetings when performing its review at the May Meeting of the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Board Members are assisted throughout the process by independent legal counsel who provided materials describing applicable law and the duties of directors or trustees in reviewing advisory contracts and met with the Independent Board Members in executive sessions without management present.
The Board considered all factors it believed relevant with respect to each Fund, including among other factors: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Fund Advisers, (b) the investment performance of the Fund and Fund Advisers, (c) the advisory fees and costs of the services to be provided to the Funds and the profitability of the Fund Advisers, (d) the extent of any economies of scale, (e) any benefits derived by the Fund Advisers from the relationship with the Fund and (f) other factors. Each Board Member may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to a Fund’s Advisory Agreements. The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor as all important or controlling. The Independent Board Members’ considerations were instead based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information presented. The principal factors considered by the Board and its conclusions are described below.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members considered the nature, extent and quality of the Fund Adviser’s services, including advisory services and the resulting Fund performance and administrative services. The Independent Board Members reviewed materials outlining, among other things, the Fund Adviser’s organization and business; the types of services that the Fund Adviser or its affiliates provide to the Funds; the performance record of the applicable Fund (as described in further detail below); and any initiatives Nuveen had taken for the applicable fund product line.
In considering advisory services, the Board recognized that the Advisor provides various oversight, administrative, compliance and other services for the Funds and the Sub-Advisor provides the portfolio investment management services to the Funds. The Board recognized that Nuveen engaged in an internal restructuring in 2010 pursuant to which portfolio management services the Advisor had provided directly to the Funds were transferred to the Sub-Advisor, a newly-organized, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Advisor. Accordingly, in reviewing the portfolio management services provided to each Fund, the Board reviewed the materials provided by the Nuveen Investment Services Oversight Team analyzing, among other things, the Sub-Advisor’s investment team and changes
104 | Nuveen Investments |
thereto, organization and history, assets under management, Fund objectives and mandate, the investment teams’ philosophy and strategies in managing the Fund, developments affecting the Sub-Advisor or Fund and Fund performance. The Independent Board Members also reviewed portfolio manager compensation arrangements to evaluate each Fund Adviser’s ability to attract and retain high quality investment personnel, preserve stability, and reward performance but not provide an incentive to take undue risks. In addition, the Board considered the Advisor’s execution of its oversight responsibilities over the Sub-Advisor. Given the importance of compliance, the Independent Board Members also considered Nuveen’s compliance program, including the report of the chief compliance officer regarding the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures.
In addition to advisory services, the Board considered the quality and extent of administrative and other non-investment advisory services the Advisor and its affiliates provide to the Funds, including product management, investment services (such as oversight of investment policies and procedures, risk management, and pricing), fund administration, oversight of service providers, shareholder services, administration of Board relations, regulatory and portfolio compliance and legal support. In reviewing the services provided, the Board also reviewed materials describing various notable initiatives and projects the Advisor performed in connection with the open-end fund product line. These initiatives included operations necessary to effect the acquisition of FAF Advisors, Inc.’s (“FAF”) long-term asset management business by Nuveen and the subsequent integration of FAF and the funds FAF advised into the Nuveen family of funds; changes in dividend declaration policies; and adding funds to various distribution platforms.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members found that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the respective Funds under each applicable Advisory Agreement were satisfactory.
B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and Fund Advisers
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed and considered the performance history of each Fund over various time periods. The Board reviewed, among other things, each Fund’s historic investment performance as well as information comparing the Fund’s performance information with that of other funds (the “Performance Peer Group”) based on data provided by an independent provider of mutual fund data and with recognized and/or customized benchmarks.
The Board reviewed reports, including a comprehensive analysis of the Funds’ performance and the applicable investment team. In this regard, the Board reviewed each Fund’s total return information compared to its Performance Peer Group for the quarter, one-, three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2010 and for the same periods ending March 31, 2011. In addition, the Board reviewed each Fund’s total return information compared to recognized and/or customized benchmarks for the quarter, one- and three-year periods ending December 31, 2010 and for the same periods ending March 31, 2011.
In reviewing performance comparison information, the Independent Board Members recognized that the usefulness of the comparisons of the performance of certain funds with the performance of their respective Performance Peer Group may be limited because the Performance Peer Group may not adequately represent the objectives and strategies of the applicable funds or may be limited in size or number. In this regard, the Independent Board Members noted that the Performance Peer Groups of the Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund (the “Kansas Fund”), Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund (the “Kentucky Fund”) and Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund (the “Wisconsin Fund”) were classified as having significant differences from such Funds based on various considerations such as special fund objectives, potential investable universe and the composition of the peer set (e.g., the number and size of competing funds and number of competing managers). The Independent Board Members also noted that the investment experience of a particular shareholder in the Funds will vary depending on when such shareholder invests in the applicable Fund, the class held (if multiple classes are offered) and the performance of the Fund (or respective class) during that shareholder’s investment period.
In considering the results of the comparisons, the Independent Board Members observed, among other things, that the Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund (the “Missouri Fund”), Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund (the “Michigan Fund”) and Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund (the “Ohio Fund”) had demonstrated generally favorable performance in comparison to peers, performing in the first or second quartile over various periods. With respect to the Kansas Fund, Kentucky Fund and Wisconsin Fund, which, as noted above, had significant differences with their Performance Peer Groups, the Independent Board Members noted that each such Fund underperformed its respective benchmark in the one- and three-year periods. With respect to any Funds that underperformed their peers and/or benchmarks from time to time, the Board monitors such Funds closely and considers any steps necessary or appropriate to address such issues.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund’s investment performance had been satisfactory.
C. Fees, Expenses and Profitability
1. Fees and Expenses
The Board evaluated the management fees and expenses of each Fund reviewing, among other things, such Fund’s gross management fees, net management fees and net expense ratios in absolute terms as well as compared to the fee and expenses of a comparable universe of funds based on data provided by an independent fund data provider (the “Peer Universe”) and in certain cases, to a more focused subset of funds in the Peer Universe (the “Peer Group”) and any expense limitations.
The Independent Board Members further reviewed the methodology regarding the construction of the applicable Peer Universe and Peer Group (if any). In reviewing the comparisons of fee and expense information, the Independent Board Members took into
Nuveen Investments | 105 |
Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process
(Unaudited) (continued)
account that in certain instances various factors such as: the asset level of a fund relative to peers; the limited size and particular composition of the Peer Universe or Peer Group; the investment objectives of the peers; expense anomalies; changes in the funds comprising the Peer Universe or Peer Group from year to year; levels of reimbursement; the timing of information used; and differences in the states reflected in the Peer Universe or Peer Group may impact the comparative data thereby limiting the ability to make a meaningful comparison with peers, including for each of the Funds.
In reviewing the fee schedule for a Fund, the Independent Board Members also considered the fund-level and complex-wide breakpoint schedules (described in further detail below) and any fee waivers and reimbursements provided by Nuveen. In reviewing fees and expenses, the Board considered the expenses and fees to be higher if they were over 10 basis points higher, slightly higher if they were 6 to 10 basis points higher, in line if they were within 5 basis points higher than the peer average and below if they were below the peer average of the Peer Group (if available) or Peer Universe if there was no separate Peer Group.
The Independent Board Members noted that the Kansas Fund, Kentucky Fund, Missouri Fund, Michigan Fund and Ohio Fund each had net management fees slightly higher or higher than the peer average but a net expense ratio below or in line with the peer average, and that the Wisconsin Fund had net management fees slightly higher or higher than the peer average and a net expense ratio slightly higher or higher than the peer average.
Based on their review of the fee and expense information provided, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund’s management fees were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund.
2. Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients
The Independent Board Members further reviewed information regarding the nature of services and fee rates offered by the Advisor to other clients, including municipal separately managed accounts and passively managed exchange traded funds (ETFs) sub-advised by the Advisor. In evaluating the comparisons of fees, the Independent Board Members noted that the fee rates charged to the Funds and other clients vary, among other things, because of the different services involved and the additional regulatory and compliance requirements associated with registered investment companies, such as the Funds. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members considered the differences in the product types, including, but not limited to, the services provided, the structure and operations, product distribution and costs thereof, portfolio investment policies, investor profiles, account sizes and regulatory requirements. The Independent Board Members noted, in particular, that the range of services provided to the Funds (as discussed above) is much more extensive than that provided to separately managed accounts. Given the inherent differences in the products, particularly the extensive services provided to the Funds, the Independent Board Members believe such facts justify the different levels of fees.
In considering the fees of the Sub-Advisor, the Independent Board Members also considered the pricing schedule or fees that the Sub-Advisor charges for similar investment management services for other Nuveen funds.
3. Profitability of Fund Advisers
In conjunction with its review of fees, the Independent Board Members also considered the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities (which incorporated Nuveen’s wholly-owned affiliated sub-advisers) and its financial condition. The Independent Board Members reviewed the revenues and expenses of Nuveen’s advisory activities for the last two years, the allocation methodology used in preparing the profitability data and an analysis of the key drivers behind the changes in revenues and expenses that impacted profitability in 2010. The Independent Board Members noted this information supplemented the profitability information requested and received during the year to help keep them apprised of developments affecting profitability (such as changes in fee waivers and expense reimbursement commitments). In this regard, the Independent Board Members noted that they have an Independent Board Member serve as a point person to review and keep them apprised of changes to the profitability analysis and/or methodologies during the year. The Independent Board Members also considered Nuveen’s revenues for advisory activities, expenses, and profit margin compared to that of various unaffiliated management firms with similar amounts of assets under management and relatively comparable asset composition prepared by Nuveen.
In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized the subjective nature of determining profitability which may be affected by numerous factors including the allocation of expenses. Further, the Independent Board Members recognized the difficulties in making comparisons as the profitability of other advisers generally is not publicly available and the profitability information that is available for certain advisers or management firms may not be representative of the industry and may be affected by, among other things, the adviser’s particular business mix, capital costs, types of funds managed and expense allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Independent Board Members reviewed Nuveen’s methodology and assumptions for allocating expenses across product lines to determine profitability. In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized Nuveen’s investment in its fund business. Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that the Advisor’s level of profitability for its advisory activities was reasonable in light of the services provided.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent Board Members also considered other amounts paid to a Fund Adviser by the Funds as well as any indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements, if any) the Fund Adviser and its affiliates receive, or are expected to receive, that are directly attributable to the management of the Funds, if any. See Section E
106 | Nuveen Investments |
below for additional information on indirect benefits the Fund Adviser may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds. Based on their review of the overall fee arrangements of each Fund, the Independent Board Members determined that the advisory fees and expenses of the respective Fund were reasonable.
D. Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale
With respect to economies of scale, the Independent Board Members have recognized the potential benefits resulting from the costs of a fund being spread over a larger asset base, although economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, particularly on a fund-by-fund basis. One method to help ensure the shareholders share in these benefits is to include breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule. Generally, management fees for funds in the Nuveen complex are comprised of a fund-level component and a complex-level component, subject to certain exceptions. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members reviewed and considered the applicable fund-level breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules that reduce advisory fees as asset levels increase.
In addition to fund-level advisory fee breakpoints, the Board also considered the Funds’ complex-wide fee arrangement. Pursuant to the complex-wide fee arrangement, the fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex are generally reduced as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. The complex-wide fee arrangement seeks to provide the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund complex assets increase, even if assets of a particular fund are unchanged or have decreased. The approach reflects the notion that some of Nuveen’s costs are attributable to services provided to all its funds in the complex and therefore all funds benefit if these costs are spread over a larger asset base. In this regard, the Independent Board Members also noted that a portion of the assets acquired pursuant to the transaction with FAF are included in determining the level of assets for calculating the complex-wide fee, which helps reduce such fee to the benefit of all shareholders.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that the breakpoint schedules and complex-wide fee arrangement were acceptable and reflect economies of scale to be shared with shareholders when assets under management increase.
E. Indirect Benefits
In evaluating fees, the Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding potential “fall out” or ancillary benefits the respective Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with each Fund. In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered, among other things, any sales charges, distribution fees and shareholder services fees received and retained by the Funds’ principal underwriter, an affiliate of the Advisor, which includes fees received pursuant to any 12b-1 plan. The Independent Board Members, therefore, considered the 12b-1 fees retained by Nuveen during the last calendar year.
In addition to the above, the Independent Board Members considered whether each Fund Adviser received any benefits from soft dollar arrangements whereby a portion of the commissions paid by a Fund for brokerage may be used to acquire research that may be useful to the Fund Adviser in managing the assets of the Funds and other clients. The Independent Board Members recognized that each Fund Adviser has the authority to pay a higher commission in return for brokerage and research services if it determines in good faith that the commission paid is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided. Nevertheless, the Independent Board Members noted that commissions are generally not paid in connection with municipal securities transactions typically executed on a principal basis.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that any indirect benefits received by a Fund Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Funds were reasonable and within acceptable parameters.
F. Other Considerations
The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable, that the respective Fund Adviser’s fees are reasonable in light of the services provided to each Fund and that the Advisory Agreements be renewed.

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report
Auction Rate Bond: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond. Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for sale are deemed to have “failed,” with current holders receiving a formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction.
Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly used method to express an investment’s performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investment’s actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or offer price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered.
Average Effective Maturity: The market-value-weighted average of the effective maturity dates of the individual securities including cash. In the case of a bond that has been advance-refunded to a call date, the effective maturity is the date on which the bond is scheduled to be redeemed using the proceeds of an escrow account. In most other cases the effective maturity is the stated maturity date of the security.
Average Duration: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bond’s principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond’s (or bond fund’s) value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond or Fund’s duration, the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as interest rates change.
Inverse Floaters: Inverse floating rate securities are created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a) issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) to an investor (such as a Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the inverse floater varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the holder of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis.
Lipper Michigan Municipal Debt Funds Average: Represents the average annualized total return for all reporting funds in the Lipper Michigan Municipal Debt Fund category. The Lipper Michigan Municipal Debt Funds Average contained 23, 17 and 16 funds for the 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods, respectively, ended May 31, 2011.
Lipper Ohio Municipal Debt Funds Average: Represents the average annualized total return for all reporting funds in the Lipper Ohio Municipal Debt Fund category. The Lipper Ohio Municipal Debt Funds Average contained 43, 36 and 32 funds for the 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods, respectively, ended May 31, 2011.
Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Average: Represents the average annualized total return for all reporting funds in the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Fund category. The Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Average contained 144, 137 and 123 funds for the 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods, respectively, ended May 31, 2011. Shareholders should note that the performance of the Lipper Other States Average represents the overall average of returns for funds from ten different states with a wide variety of municipal market conditions, making direct comparisons less meaningful.
Net Asset Value (NAV): A Fund’s NAV is the dollar value of one share in the Fund. It is calculated by subtracting the liabilities of the Fund from its total assets and then dividing the remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day.
Pre-Refundings: Pre-Refundings, also known as advance refundings or refinancings, occur when an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and interest payments of older existing bonds. This process often results in lower borrowing costs for bond issuers.
Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Kansas Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Kansas municipal bond market.
Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Kentucky Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Kentucky municipal bond market.
Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Michigan Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Michigan municipal bond market.
Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Missouri Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Missouri municipal bond market.
Standard & Poor’s (S&P) National Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade U.S. municipal bond market.
Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Ohio Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Ohio municipal bond market.
Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Wisconsin Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Wisconsin municipal bond market.
Zero Coupon Bond: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the bond at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of bonds that pay interest periodically.

The registrant’s audit committee financial expert is Carole E. Stone, who is “independent” for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
Ms. Stone served for five years as Director of the New York State Division of the Budget. As part of her role as Director, Ms. Stone was actively involved in overseeing the development of the State’s operating, local assistance and capital budgets, its financial plan and related documents; overseeing the development of the State’s bond-related disclosure documents and certifying that they fairly presented the State’s financial position; reviewing audits of various State and local agencies and programs; and coordinating the State’s system of internal audit and control. Prior to serving as Director, Ms. Stone worked as a budget analyst/examiner with increasing levels of responsibility over a 30 year period, including approximately five years as Deputy Budget Director. Ms. Stone has also served as Chair of the New York State Racing Association Oversight Board, as Chair of the Public Authorities Control Board, as a Commissioner on the New York State Commission on Public Authority Reform and as a member of the Boards of Directors of several New York State public authorities. These positions have involved overseeing operations and finances of certain entities and assessing the adequacy of project/entity financing and financial reporting. Currently, Ms. Stone is on the Board of Directors of CBOE Holdings, Inc., of the Chicago Board Options Exchange, and of C2 Options Exchange. Ms. Stone’s position on the boards of these entities and as a member of both CBOE Holdings’ Audit Committee and its Finance Committee has involved, among other things, the oversight of audits, audit plans and preparation of financial statements.
ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
The following tables show the amount of fees that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Trust’s auditor, billed to the Trust during the Trust’s last two full fiscal years. The Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP provided to the Trust, 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 Trust 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 Trust during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Trust 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 Chairman (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).
