Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
After nine years of serving as lead director and independent chairman of the Nuveen Fund Board, my term of office is coming to an end. It has been a privilege to use this space to communicate with you on some of the broad economic trends in the U.S. and abroad and how they are impacting the investment environment in which your funds operate. In addition, I have enjoyed offering some perspective on how your Board views the various Nuveen investment teams as they apply their investment disciplines in that investment environment.
My term has coincided with a particularly challenging period for both mutual fund sponsors and investors. Since 2000 there have been three periods of unusually strong stock market growth and two major market declines. Recent years have been characterized by a search for yield in fixed income securities to compensate for an extended period of very low interest rates. Funds are investing more in foreign and emerging markets that require extensive research capabilities to overcome the more limited transparency and higher volatility in those markets. New fund concepts often incorporate derivative financial instruments that offer efficient ways to hedge investment risk or gain exposure to selected markets. Fund trading teams operate in many new domestic and international venues with quite different characteristics. Electronic trading and global communication networks mean that fund managers must be able to thrive in financial markets that react instantaneously to newsworthy events and are more interconnected than ever.
Nuveen has committed additional resources to respond to these changes in the fund industry environment. It has added IT and research resources to assemble and evaluate the increased flow of detailed information on economies, markets and individual companies. Based on its experience during the financial crisis of 2008-09, Nuveen has expanded its resources dedicated to valuing and trading portfolio securities with a particular focus on stressed financial market conditions. It has added systems and experienced risk management professionals to work with investment teams to better help evaluate whether their funds’ risk exposures are appropriate in view of the return targets. The investment teams have also reflected on recent experience to reaffirm or modify their investment disciplines. Finally, experienced professionals and IT resources have been added to address new regulatory requirements designed to better inform and protect investors. The Board has enthusiastically encouraged these initiatives.
The Nuveen Fund Board has always viewed itself as your representatives to assure that Nuveen brings together experienced people, proven technologies and effective processes designed to produce results that meet investor expectations. It is important to note that our activities are highlighted by the annual contract renewal process. Despite its somewhat formal language, I strongly encourage you to read the summary because it offers an insight into our oversight process. The report is included in the back of this or a subsequent shareholder report. The renewal process is very comprehensive and includes a number of evaluations and discussions between the Board and Nuveen during the year. The summary also describes what has been achieved across the Nuveen fund complex and at individual funds such as yours.
As I leave the chairmanship and resume my role as a member of the Board, please be assured that I and my fellow Board members will continue to hold your interests uppermost in our minds as we oversee the management of your funds and that we greatly appreciate your confidence in your Nuveen fund.
Very sincerely,
Robert P. Bremner
Chairman of the Board

What factors affected the U.S. economy and the national municipal bond market during the twelve-month period ending May 31, 2013?
During this reporting period, the U.S. economy’s progress toward recovery from recession continued at a moderate pace. The Federal Reserve (Fed) maintained its efforts to improve the overall economic environment by holding the benchmark fed funds rate at the record low level of zero to 0.25% that it established in December 2008. The Fed also continued its monthly purchases of $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities and $45 billion of longer-term Treasury securities in an open-ended effort to bolster growth. However, at its June 2013 meeting (subsequent to the end of this reporting period), the Central Bank indicated that downside risks to the economy had diminished since the fall of 2012. Although the Fed made no changes to its highly accommodative monetary policies at the June meeting, Chairman Bernanke’s remarks afterward indicated the Central Bank could slow the pace of its bond buying program later this year if the economy continues to improve.
As measured by gross domestic product (GDP), the U.S. economy grew at an annualized rate of 1.8% in the first quarter of 2013, compared with 0.4% for the fourth quarter of 2012, continuing the pattern of positive economic growth for the 15th consecutive quarter. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 1.4% year-over-year as of May 2013, while the core CPI (which excludes food and energy) increased 1.7% during the period, staying within the Fed’s unofficial objective of 2.0% or lower for this inflation measure. Meanwhile, labor market conditions continued to slowly show signs of improvement, although unemployment remained above the Central Bank’s 6.5% target. As of May 2013, the national unemployment rate was 7.6%, down from 8.2% a year ago. The housing market, long a major weak spot in the U.S. economic recovery, also delivered some good news as the average home price in the S&P/Case-Shiller Index of 20 major metropolitan areas rose 12.1% for the twelve months ended April 2013 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared). This marked the largest twelve-month percentage gain for the index since 2006.
However, the outlook for the U.S. economy continued to be clouded by uncertainty about global financial markets and the outcome of the “fiscal cliff.” The tax consequences of the fiscal cliff situation, which had been scheduled to become effective in January 2013, were averted through a last minute deal that raised payroll taxes, but left in place a number of tax breaks. However, lawmakers postponed and then failed to reach a resolution on $1.2 trillion in spending cuts intended to address the federal budget deficit. As a result, automatic spending cuts (or sequestration) affecting both defense and non-defense programs (excluding Social Security and Medicaid) took effect March 1, 2013, with potential implications for U.S. economic growth over the next decade. In late March, Congress passed legislation that established

federal funding levels for the remainder of fiscal 2013, which ends on September 30, preventing a federal government shutdown. The proposed federal budget for fiscal 2014 remains under debate.
Municipal bond prices generally rallied nationally during this period, as strong demand and tight supply combined to create favorable market conditions for municipal bonds. However, the market also encountered some additional volatility generated by the political environment, particularly the fiscal cliff at the end of 2012 and the approach of federal tax season. Although the total volume of tax-exempt supply improved over that of the same period a year earlier, the issuance pattern remained light compared with long-term historical trends and new money issuance was relatively flat. This supply/demand dynamic served as a key driver of performance. At the state level, state governments in aggregate appeared to have made good progress in dealing with budget issues. On the revenue side, state tax collections have grown for 13 straight quarters, exceeding pre-recession levels beginning in September 2011, while on the expense side, the states made headway in cutting and controlling costs. The current low level of municipal issuance reflects the current political distaste for additional borrowing by state and local governments facing fiscal constraints and the prevalent atmosphere of municipal budget austerity. During this period, we continued to see municipal yields remain relatively low. Borrowers seeking to take advantage of the low rate environment sparked an increase in refunding activity, with approximately 50% of municipal paper issued by borrowers that were calling existing debt and refinancing at lower rates.
Over the twelve months ended May 31, 2013, municipal bond issuance nationwide totaled $376 billion, an increase of 5.2% over the issuance for the twelve-month period ended May 31, 2012. As previously mentioned, the majority of this supply was attributable to refunding issues, rather than new money issuance. During this reporting period, demand for municipal bonds remained very strong, especially from individual investors, but also from mutual funds, banks and insurance companies.
How were the economic and market conditions in Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin during this reporting period?
Kansas has been slowly recovering from the recent economic recession. In 2011, the state’s economy expanded at a rate of 0.5%, compared with the national growth rate of 1.5%, ranking Kansas 35th in terms of GDP growth by state. Private industry in the state continued to add jobs and indications were that these employment gains were permanent. As of May 2013, the Kansas unemployment rate stood at 5.7%. Recent employment gains have been led by professional and business services, manufacturing, and education and health services, the state’s largest private sectors. According to Moody’s, manufacturing was expected to be key to Kansas’s long term recovery, with hiring projected to accelerate in this high wage industry. Agricultural products were also expected to bolster the Kansas economy. Kansas ranks among the top ten states in the nation in agricultural production, with strong price support for two of its major crops, soy and corn. On the fiscal front, the Kansas state budget for fiscal 2013, which was introduced in January 2012 and enacted in June 2012, fully funded or increased funding for essential services, while holding state general fund expenditures below fiscal 2012 levels. While the 2013 budget closed a $500 million gap, it also included a package of income tax cuts projected to reduce state revenues by $3.7 billion over the next five years. The budget also called for adding $465 million in reserves to the state general fund, which had been largely depleted by the end of fiscal 2013. As of May 2013, Kansas general obligation bonds continued to carry ratings of Aa2 and a negative outlook, and AA and stable outlook from Moody’s and S&P, respectively. For the twelve months ending May 31, 2013, municipal issuance in Kansas totaled $3.4 billion, representing a 22.5% year-over-year increase.
After showing promise in 2011, Kentucky’s economic recovery slowed in 2012. In 2012, the Commonwealth’s economy posted growth of 1.4%, compared with the national growth rate of 2.5%, ranking Kentucky 33th in terms of GDP growth by state and below average among its peers in the southeast. Kentucky’s unemployment levels typically trend higher than the nation, but have recently improved, moving closer in line with the rest of the country. As of May 2013 unemployment had dropped to 8.1% from 8.3% the prior year. This is at least in part due to the state’s manufacturing

sector, which is proportionally higher than the nation. Resident income indices have historically compared poorly with median per capita income at only 82% of the nation. Positively, Kentucky did not fall any further behind during the recent recession and the state reports personal income rose 1.3% during the last year. According to Moody’s, Kentucky’s low cost of doing business and highly affordable housing should continue to provide support for economic expansion. Kentucky’s biennial budget for fiscal 2013 and 2014 is structurally imbalanced and revenue projections for fiscal 2013 have been revised down slightly to 2.1% from 2.4%. Budget revisions for 2014 will be necessary. The Commonwealth has depleted reserve levels which have been at 3% or less of revenues since fiscal 2008, closing fiscal 2012 with a General Fund balance of $95.1 million, or just 1.1% of revenues. Though the state does not have any outstanding general obligation debt, as of June 2013, the state’s implied general obligation rating was Aa3 and AA- by Moody’s and S&P, respectively. The state typically issues annual appropriation debt, which is rated a notch lower at Aa3 and A+, by Moody’s and S&P, respectively, with negative outlooks. Debt levels are moderately high in relation to the Commonwealth’s economic base. Net tax supported debt per capita is above average at $1,998 and 5.9% of personal income, above the Moody’s medians of $1,074 and 2.8%, respectively. For the twelve months ending May 31, 2013, Kentucky issued $3.0 billion in municipal bonds, representing a 13.7% decline from the twelve months ended May 31, 2012.
After struggling to emerge from recession over the past few years, Michigan’s economy has continued to slowly improve driven in part by a recovering auto industry. Strong growth in domestic auto sales in 2012 bolstered Michigan’s recovery, with vehicle sales continuing the positive trend of the past three years. Overall, Michigan continued to rely heavily on manufacturing, which represented 13% of employment in the state, compared with 9% nationally. As of May 2013, Michigan’s unemployment rate was 8.4%, its best reading since August 2008, but still remains above the national average of 7.6%. Over the past seven years, housing prices have declined dramatically in most of central and eastern Michigan and the inventory of foreclosed homes remained elevated in many of the state’s hardest hit metropolitan areas, including Detroit, Warren and Flint. According to the S&P/Case-Shiller Index of 20 major metropolitan areas, housing prices in Detroit rose 19.8% over the twelve months ended April 2013 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared). For fiscal 2013, Michigan’s $48.2 billion budget was structurally balanced and did not require major expenditure cuts or borrowing. Modest operating surpluses over the past two years have been used to replenish the state’s depleted rainy day fund, and Michigan projected its budget stabilization fund balance will reach approximately $600 million by the close of fiscal 2015. During the past two fiscal years, the state’s improved financial and cash position eliminated the need for cash flow borrowing. For fiscal 2014, the state’s $49 billion budget provides additional transportation funding, revenue sharing for local governments, and increased funding for K-12 education. Increased transportation spending is expected to help construction spending and payrolls. As of June 2013, Moody’s and S&P rated Michigan general obligation (GO) debt at Aa2 and AA, respectively, with positive outlooks. For the twelve months ended May 31, 2013, Michigan issued $9.3 billion in municipal bonds, a decrease of 15.9% from the twelve months ended May 31, 2012.
For 2012, the national recovery of 2.5% continued to outpace Missouri’s state GDP growth of 2.0%, ranking Missouri’s growth 26th among all states. Continued job losses in the government sector were offset by employment growth in transportation, leisure and hospitality, and education and health services sectors. As of May 2013, Missouri’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 6.8%. Missouri’s overexposure to defense related manufacturing jobs continues to cause a drag on the state’s recovery, but efforts to transition part of the state economy away from traditional defense related manufacturing jobs into the development of biotechnology and alternative energy industries should help diversify the economy. Governor Nixon’s priority to expand exports experienced a slight step backwards with exports falling 1.4% in 2012 compared to 2011, but increases in exports to Mexico helped offset declines in exports to Canada and China. For fiscal 2014, the $25 billion Missouri state budget, which was introduced in January 2013 and sent to the Governor for approval in May 2013, focused on Medicaid expansion, job creation, increased K-12 education funding, and increased higher education funding. The Governor’s budget, which contained no new taxes, also called for eliminating 190 additional state jobs, bringing total reductions to 4,500 since 2009 and resulting in the smallest state

workforce since 1997. As of May 2013, 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, 2013, municipal issuance in Missouri totaled $6.2 billion, a 33.5% increase from the twelve months ended May 31, 2012.
After weathering difficult years during the recession, the Ohio economy has shown signs of growth, although it continued to lag some aspects of the national recovery. Ohio’s education and health services industry remained the largest source of employment in the state and this sector along with manufacturing and professional and business services continued to be leaders in adding jobs during this period. In manufacturing, Ohio’s auto industry recently made capital investments to support future production, which in turn should benefit the state’s steel industry. Steel manufacturing also has been supported by the emerging energy industry in eastern Ohio, including the extraction of natural gas and oil from the Utica and Marcellus shale formations. In 2012, Ohio’s economy grew at a rate of 2.2%, compared with the national growth rate of 2.5% for 2012, ranking Ohio 20th in terms of GDP growth by state. As of May 2013, the state’s unemployment rate was 7.0%, and below the national rate of 7.6%. Boosted by gains in income and sales taxes, state tax revenues are up 11% through the first 10 months of fiscal 2013 on a year-over-year basis. The proposed biennial state budget for fiscal 2014-2015 included several changes to Ohio’s tax code: a tax cut for small businesses, a reduction in personal income tax rates and a lower sales tax on services, with some of the resultant revenue losses offset by increased taxes on oil and gas drilling. As of May 2013, Moody’s and S&P rated Ohio GO debt at Aa1 and AA+, respectively, with stable outlooks. For the twelve months ended May 31, 2013, municipal issuance in Ohio totaled $12.5 billion, an increase of 21% compared with the twelve months ended May 31, 2012.
Wisconsin’s economy has slowed in comparison to initial post-recession growth primarily due to a slowdown in the service sector, but has been exacerbated by a limited ability to trade agricultural goods. Low water levels resulting from the 2012 drought limited barge traffic through the beginning of 2013 and then heavy rains in April 2013 caused flooding, again slowing down barge traffic. Favorably, manufacturing has held up reasonably well and has buoyed Wisconsin’s economy. In 2012, the state’s economy expanded at a rate of 1.5%, compared with the national growth rate of 2.5%, ranking Wisconsin 32nd in terms of GDP growth by state. Hiring across sectors has been relatively weak in 2013, though a positive sign is that personal income indices continue to climb. As of May 2013, the Wisconsin jobless rate was 7.0%, up from 6.8% in the prior year. According to Moody’s, the state was expected to see further gains in manufacturing, benefiting from growth in Wisconsin’s largest trading partner, Canada, which provides the market for one-third of the state’s exports. Wisconsin enacted a two-year budget for fiscal 2012 and 2013, which closed a budget shortfall through reductions in spending for education, the University of Wisconsin system, Medicaid and state aid to local governments. The state now projects that fiscal 2013 will close with a budget surplus, adding to the General Fund reserves and beginning to fund the long-ago depleted rainy day fund. As of May 2013, Wisconsin’s general obligation debt carried ratings of Aa2 from Moody’s and AA from S&P with stable outlooks. For the twelve months ended May 31, 2013, Wisconsin issued $6.4 billion of municipal bonds, an increase of 8.9% from the twelve-month period ended May 31, 2012.
How did the Funds perform during the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2013?
The tables in the Fund Performance, Expense and Leverage 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, 2013. The tables also compare these returns to each Fund’s benchmark index and its appropriate Lipper classification average.
During the twelve-month period, the Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) of the Michigan, Missouri and Ohio Funds outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index, while the Class A Shares at NAV of the Kansas, Kentucky and Wisconsin Funds underperformed this performance measure. Kansas and Missouri outperformed their respective state index, while Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin underperformed their respective state index. All six Funds outpaced their respective Lipper classification average.

As was mentioned during the last reporting period, we will be discussing the Funds’ performance relative to the S&P Municipal Bond Index, and will no longer be using S&P state specific indexes as secondary benchmarks. While the S&P Municipal Bond Index does not reflect the Funds’ geographic concentration, it broadly reflects the Funds’ strategies and we believe it provides an appropriate performance comparison for shareholders. State specific indexes generally provide a less useful basis of comparison since they may not be investable due to sector/issuer and security concentrations and they may be volatile over time due to the limited size and issuance patterns.
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 long relied upon by the Funds’ sub-adviser, Nuveen Asset Management. Our municipal bond portfolios are managed with a value-oriented approach and close input from Nuveen Asset Management’s 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
The Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund trailed the S&P Municipal Bond Index during the twelve-month period. The Fund’s overweighting in local general obligation (GO) debt was one factor behind the relative underperformance. Compared with the national municipal bond market, Kansas features a relatively high amount of GO debt, mainly local school district bonds, which tended to underperform during the period. The Fund was also hampered by its overweighting in the utility bond sector, which also failed to keep pace with the market. In contrast, the Fund benefited from its overweighting in the strong performing health care sector.
Meanwhile, our credit quality positioning had a particularly favorable impact on performance. Going into the reporting period, we had structured the Fund to take advantage of narrowing credit spreads, meaning that investors were willing to accept a steadily smaller income premium to compensate them for buying riskier bonds. Compared to the index, the Fund had more exposure to lower investment grade bonds rated A and BBB and, when appropriate, below investment grade and non-rated bonds. We were also underweighted in the AAA-rating tier, representing the highest quality bonds available. Our stance was very helpful, as securities with lower credit ratings substantially outperformed their higher quality counterparts.
The Fund was also well positioned from a duration and yield curve standpoint. Specifically, we were overweight in longer duration bonds, which captured more of the favorable effects of declining interest rates during the period.
Trading activity was relatively light. Our purchases, which took place in both the new issue and secondary municipal bond markets, were financed largely with the proceeds of bond calls and a healthy but manageable level of new shareholder inflows. When possible, we favored lower rated issues with sound underlying credit quality. Many of our purchases came from the intermediate part of the yield curve. As the period progressed, we believed this segment provided better value for shareholders than longer-dated bonds, which had already rallied to a greater extent.
Our transactions included several purchases each of utility and dedicated sales tax bonds. We added lower rated securities that we believed offered attractive yields at a reasonable level of credit risk. To a lesser extent, we bought health care and local school district bonds, the latter of which formed a large part of the Kansas municipal bond market. One particularly noteworthy health care purchase during the period was A-rated bonds for the Mercy Regional Health Center in Manhattan, Kansas. These securities had been under represented in the portfolio and we believed they provided good relative value.
Our limited selling activity involved exchanging certain Puerto Rico holdings for others that better fit our management objectives. (Bonds issued by Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories are generally fully tax exempt for investors in all 50
Nuveen Investments | 9 |
states.) These trades entailed moving into higher coupon bonds issued by Puerto Rico entities that we believed were less affected by the territory’s well publicized credit problems, and which we believed offered good long term prospects.
Similar to the Kansas Fund, the Wisconsin Fund underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index during the period. On the positive side, the portfolio’s duration and yield curve positioning proved helpful. The Fund was underweighted in bonds with shorter durations while overweight in longer dated issues, which benefited the most as interest rates declined.
In addition, the Fund was well situated to take advantage of the rally among lower rated bonds, as investors’ willingness to take on more credit risk translated into rising bond prices among lower quality securities. We were overweight in A-rated, BBB-rated and non-rated bonds, three categories that outperformed the market and underweight in lagging AA-rated issues, which further lifted the Fund’s results.
Meanwhile, the Fund’s sector positioning provided a mixed performance impact, shaped largely by the idiosyncrasies of the Wisconsin municipal bond market. Compared to the national market, for example, this portfolio was materially underweighted in GO debt. GO bonds are subject to Wisconsin state income tax, and when considered along with the low incremental yield associated with the securities, generally made them unattractive to us. During the reporting period, our lesser exposure to this category was helpful, as these issues underperformed. The state’s hospital bonds generally are state-income taxable as well, but the Fund was overweight in this sector compared with the national municipal bond market. We owned various hospital bonds that, in our view, offered sufficient relative value to compensate for the tax liability. As the health care category outperformed during the period, this allocation further added to the Fund’s results. On the other hand, dedicated sales-tax bonds are generally exempt from Wisconsin state taxes, and the Fund was overweight in this category. These issues failed to keep pace with the overall market, however, which hampered our results relative to the index.
The Wisconsin Fund experienced a modest amount of bond calls during the period. These proceeds, combined with bond maturities and new shareholder inflows, provided the cash proceeds we needed to finance our purchases, which can be divided into four main categories. First, we took advantage of opportunities to add to existing Wisconsin holdings, supplementing positions we liked at attractive prices. Second, we diversified the Fund’s territorial exposure by adding bonds issued by Guam and Virgin Islands entities. Like all territorial bonds, these are generally fully tax-exempt for U.S. investors. Our few bond sales during the period focused on restructuring the portfolio’s allocation to Puerto Rico issues, exchanging certain Puerto Rico holdings for others we believed offered more favorable characteristics. Third, we purchased new Wisconsin tax-exempt debt when we believed that doing so would enable us to achieve our management objectives. Two notable examples during the period included student housing bonds issued by Platteville Redevelopment Authority for the University of Wisconsin and tax increment financing bonds issued for Glendale Community Development Authority. Finally, we bought in-state or out-of-state debt that, though taxable for Wisconsin residents, represented especially good value, in our view. When looking out-of-state, we favored relatively liquid, lower rated bonds issued to fund large projects, choosing those securities with the potential to provide a particularly compelling risk/reward balance. With these four approaches, we were successful in essentially maintaining the Fund’s balance between Wisconsin taxable and tax-exempt securities in the portfolio.
Nuveen Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio Municipal Bond Funds
The Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund trailed the S&P Municipal Bond Index during the twelve-month period. The Fund’s credit quality positioning was a primary factor behind its relative underperformance. Compared with the national municipal bond market, Kentucky is host to many high quality issuers and, therefore, has a much smaller proportion of bonds with credit ratings below investment grade. Given the lack of available opportunities among low-quality Kentucky bonds and our associated underweighting in them, the Fund did not fully benefit from the relative outperformance of these bonds as investors sought out higher yielding municipal debt. The Fund’s relative underweighting in the highest quality issues, those AAA-rated securities helped relative performance.

The Fund’s sector positioning had a mixed effect on relative performance. Compared to the national market, this portfolio was overweight in health care debt, one of the market’s best-performing groups during the period given investors’ appetite for higher yielding segments. In contrast, our relative overweighting in pre-refunded bonds curtailed results. Pre-refunded securities, which are very high quality and tend to be low in duration, were among the worst performing Kentucky bonds, owing to their very high credit quality and low duration, two characteristics that investors generally eschewed during the period.
Duration and yield curve positioning were favorable. The Fund’s duration (meaning its sensitivity to changes in interest rates) was modestly longer than that of our benchmark index. This stance proved beneficial as interest rates declined throughout the bulk of the twelve month period. Additionally, our yield curve positioning, expressed through our emphasis on longer duration bonds and underweighting in shorter maturity securities, was helpful because longer term bonds outpaced their shorter term counterparts.
The significant amount of new shareholder cash coming into the portfolio, coupled with the calls (early redemptions) of some of our holdings, provided us with the proceeds we needed to make new purchases. Amid concern about a possible limitation to the tax-exempt status of municipal bonds, the municipal market hit an air pocket in the December 2012 and January 2013 time frame, affording us ample opportunities to purchase attractively priced bonds.
Our new portfolio additions during the period were spread among the health care, housing, water and sewer, and dedicated tax sectors, most of which had intermediate or long durations.
The Nuveen Michigan Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index during the twelve-month period. On the positive side, the portfolio’s yield curve and credit quality positioning were helpful. The Fund was underweighted in bonds with shorter durations while overweight in longer dated issues, which benefited the most as interest rates declined.
In terms of credit quality positioning, the Fund benefited from the strong relative performance of lower rated bonds, which rallied strongly due to investors’ appetite for more credit risk and higher yields. We were overweight in bonds with credit ratings below investment grade, a category that outperformed the market and underweight in lagging AAA-rated issues, which further boosted the Fund’s results.
Meanwhile, the Fund’s sector positioning provided a mixed performance impact. Our overweighting in tobacco securities, another beneficiary of investor demand for higher yielding debt, was helpful. In contrast, the Fund’s overweighting in pre-refunded securities, some of the highest rated and lower duration issues in the marketplace, detracted from relative results, since both of those structural characteristics remained out of favor throughout much of the reporting period.
The Michigan Fund experienced a modest and manageable amount of bond calls, providing the proceeds we needed to finance our purchases. Most notably, we initiated or added to positions that we felt were unduly punished by their association with the City of Detroit. Specifically, we augmented our position in Detroit water/sewer bonds, purchasing these securities at what we believed were good values, especially given their comparatively short durations and backing by municipal bond insurer MBIA. Furthermore, we did not believe that these securities would be part of a bankruptcy proceeding. We also added to our position in Detroit Wayne County Stadium Authority (Comerica Park), and a limited tax GO bond for Wayne County, because we believed the securities had been unduly tainted by Detroit’s woes, and they offered compelling value and carried Assured Guaranteed insurance. Other transactions included purchases of some GO bonds issued by school districts in Southeast Michigan and electric utility bonds. Our limited bond sales involved exchanging certain tobacco-related securities for others that better fit our management objectives. These trades allowed us to diversify more equally between the two vintages of tobacco bonds available in the Michigan municipal marketplace.

Subsequent to the close of this reporting period, on July 18, 2013, the City of Detroit filed for Chapter 9 in federal bankruptcy court. Detroit, burdened by decades of population loss, changes in the auto manufacturing industry and significant tax base deterioration, has been under severe financial stress for an extended period. Detroit’s bankruptcy filing will likely be a lengthy one given the complexity of its debt portfolio, number of creditors, numerous unions and significant legal questions that must be addressed. It is not yet clear how this bankruptcy will impact the actual creditworthiness, or the market’s perception of that creditworthiness, of other municipalities in Michigan.
The Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index during the reporting period, primarily due to our duration and yield curve positioning. Specifically, we were overweight in longer duration bonds, which captured more of the favorable effects of declining interest rates during the period.
Relative results due to credit quality positioning were positive. The Fund’s overweighting in securities rated below investment grade proved helpful, while its underweighting in securities rated AAA was also positive. The lower a bond’s rating, the more likely it was to outperform the market, as investors gravitated toward bonds with higher yields.
Our sector selection also generated uneven relative results. An overweighting in pre-refunded bonds hurt, given their very short maturities and high underlying credit quality, two structural characteristics that investors generally avoided. In contrast, an overweighting in health care bonds, one of the chief beneficiaries of investors’ thirst for relatively high yielding securities, was a plus as the group outpaced the market overall. Elsewhere, our modest exposure to inverse floating rate securities (inverse floaters) was beneficial, because many of our holdings in such securities were longer duration.
The purchases we made during the period were funded primarily by new money received into the portfolio, either resulting from bond calls or new shareholder inflows. To keep the Fund fully invested, we looked to a variety of sectors for new additions, including airport, corporate-backed industrial development revenue, local school district GO and health care categories. One notable addition was the “JobsOhio Beverage System” bonds, which are backed by dedicated liquor taxes, which we consider a particularly stable income stream available in the Ohio market.
Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund
The Missouri Fund’s outperformance of the S&P Municipal Bond Index was driven in large part by favorable duration positioning (meaning its sensitivity to interest rate changes) and yield curve allocation. With respect to the latter, the Fund was somewhat overweight in bonds with longer maturities, which proved helpful, given that those securities generally outperformed shorter- and intermediate-dated issues during the reporting period.
The Fund’s credit quality stance also added value on a relative basis. In particular, the Fund was overweight in bonds with lower credit ratings, especially BBB-rated and non-rated issues. Due to low interest rates, investors favored lower-rated securities for their greater income potential and were willing to accept a steadily smaller income premium in exchange for buying these riskier bonds. Similarly, the Fund’s relative underweighting in the highest quality bonds rated AAA and AA helped relative performance as these securities failed to keep pace with their lower-rated counterparts.
Also adding to results was an overweighting in the health care sector, which fared well. However, that favorable impact was offset by having less exposure than the index to corporate-backed industrial development revenue securities. Because many of the issuers in this sector have lower credit ratings, and/or trade with a premium yield, these bonds tended to do well during the period, and our smaller exposure limited the Fund’s upside. Another disappointment was the portfolio’s slight overweighting in pre-refunded bonds, which are very high quality, short duration issues and therefore did not keep pace in a market favoring bonds with a higher income component. The Fund’s exposure to Puerto Rico securities modestly hurt results, as credit related challenges weighed on bonds issued in the territory.
We did not make significant changes to the Fund’s overall structure over the course of the reporting period. The Fund typically maintains some exposure to lower rated bonds because of both their income advantage over higher rated bonds and because we believe they often provide opportunities to realize relative value for our shareholders. While new
12 | Nuveen Investments |
purchases were made across a diversified set of sectors and reflected a range of credit rating categories from AAA to non-rated, we generally sought to maintain allocations to bonds with lower credit ratings. Funds were utilized from the proceeds of bond calls and maturities and new investment inflows, as well as the occasional sale of securities for which we believed we could get particularly good prices.
Throughout the period, we generally maintained the Fund’s desired level of interest-rate sensitivity with a duration that was slightly longer than that of the S&P index, and we mostly bought bonds with maturities ranging from 12 to 30 years. For most of the twelve-month period, there was very strong demand for the market’s longest bonds, which were often the highest yield bonds available. As a result, we occasionally found ourselves buying shorter dated paper until better value could be uncovered in longer bonds.
An Update Regarding Puerto Rico
Shareholders also should be aware of issues impacting some of the Funds’ non-state holdings. In December 2012, Moody’s down-graded Puerto Rico general obligation (GO) bonds to Baa3 from Baa1 based on Puerto Rico’s ongoing economic problems, unfunded pension liabilities, elevated debt levels and structural budget gaps. In addition, during July 2012, bonds issued by the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (COFINA) also were downgraded by Moody’s to Aa3 from Aa2. The downgrade of the COFINA bonds was due mainly to the performance of Puerto Rico’s economy and its impact on the projected growth of sales tax revenues. In addition, the COFINA bonds were able to maintain a higher rating than the GOs because, unlike the revenue streams supporting some Puerto Rican issues, the sales taxes supporting the COFINA bonds cannot be diverted and used to support the commonwealth’s GO bonds. All of these Funds have some exposure to Puerto Rico bonds, the majority of which are the dedicated sales tax bonds issued by COFINA, and minimal exposure to Puerto Rico GOs.
During the reporting period, Puerto Rico paper generally underperformed the market as whole. Because most of our holdings were the COFINA bonds, the overall impact on performance was minimal. As we continue to emphasize Puerto Rico’s stronger credits, we view the COFINA bonds as potentially long-term holdings and note that the commonwealth recently introduced various sales tax initiatives aimed at improving future collections.
Risk Considerations
Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Debt or fixed income securities such as those held by the Funds, are subject to market risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, call risk, state concentration risk, tax risk, and income risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Credit risk refers to an issuers ability to make interest and principal payments when due. Below investment grade or high yield debt securities are subject to liquidity risk and heightened credit risk. The Funds’ use of inverse floaters creates effective leverage. Leverage involves the risk that the Funds could lose more than its original investment and also increases the Funds’ exposure to volatility and interest rate risk.
Dividend Information
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 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 shareholders. As of May 31, 2013, all six Funds had positive UNII balances for tax purposes. Kentucky had a negative UNII balance while Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin had positive UNII balances for financial reporting purposes.

Fund Performance, Expense and Effective Leverage Ratios
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 Lipper 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 and/or expense reimbursements, if any) as shown in the Funds’ most recent prospectus. The expense ratios include management fees and other fees and expenses.
Leverage is created whenever a Fund has investment exposure (both reward and/or risk) equivalent to more than 100% of the investment capital. The effective leverage ratio shown is the amount of investment exposure created either through borrowings or indirectly through inverse floaters, divided by the assets invested, including those assets that were purchased with the proceeds of the leverage, or referenced by the levered instrument.

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 through 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.

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”), as diversified funds (non-diversified for Kansas and Wisconsin). 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.
On December 31, 2012, the Funds’ investment adviser converted from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company. As a result, Nuveen Fund Advisers, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”), changed its name to Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”). There were no changes to the identities or roles of any personnel as a result of the change.
Each Fund’s investment objective is to provide as high a level of current interest income exempt from regular federal, its respective state and, in some cases, its respective local income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital. Under normal market conditions, each Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal bonds that pay interest that is exempt from regular federal and its respective state personal income tax. Each Fund may invest without limit in securities that generate income subject to the alternative minimum tax. Each Fund will generally maintain, under normal market conditions, an investment portfolio with an overall weighted average maturity in excess of 10 years. Under normal market conditions, 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 Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the 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 in all types of municipal bonds, including general obligation bonds, revenue bonds and participation interests in municipal leases. Each Fund may invest in zero coupon bonds, which are issued at substantial discounts from their value at maturity and pay no cash income to their holders until they mature. 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 (“inverse floaters”). Inverse floaters are derivative securities that provide leveraged exposure to underlying municipal bonds. Each Fund’s investments in inverse floaters are designed to increase the Funds’ income and returns through this leveraged exposure. These investments are speculative, however, and also create the possibility that income and returns will be diminished.
The Funds’ most recent prospectus provides further descriptions 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. 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 investment 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 earmark securities in the Funds’ portfolios with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. As of May 31, 2013, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin had outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments of $1,490,258, $3,144,756, and $1,579,455, respectively.
Investment Income
Investment income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and includes accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Investment income also reflects paydown gains and losses, if any.
Professional Fees
Professional fees presented on the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in an attempt to protect or enhance an investment, or to pursue other claims or legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders. Legal fee refund presented on the Statement of Operations reflects a refund of workout expenditures paid in a prior reporting period, when applicable.
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.
Share Classes and Sales Charges
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. Kansas, Michigan and Wisconsin do not offer Class B Shares. Kentucky, Missouri and Ohio will issue Class B Shares upon the exchange of Class B Shares from another Nuveen mutual fund or for purposes of dividend reinvestment, but Class B Shares are not available for new accounts or for additional investment into existing accounts. 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 automatically 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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.
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, at their liquidation value, 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 recognizes the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as “Interest expense” on the Statement of Operations.
During the fiscal year ended May 31,2013, 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.
As of May 31, 2013, each Fund’s maximum exposure to the floating rate obligations issued by externally-deposited Recourse Trusts was as follows:
Kansas | Kentucky | Michigan | Missouri | Ohio | Wisconsin | |||||||||||||||||||
Maximum exposure to Recourse Trusts | $ | 5,250,000 | $ | 15,000,000 | $ | 3,150,000 | $ | — | $ | 31,410,000 | $ | 3,750,000 |
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 31,2013, were as follows:
Kansas | Kentucky | Missouri | ||||||||||
Average floating rate obligations outstanding | $ | 9,420,000 | $ | 5,650,000 | $ | 2,225,000 | ||||||
Average annual interest rate and fees | 0.66 | % | 0.64 | % | 0.33 | % |
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
106 | Nuveen Investments |
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. 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.
Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, their 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 for 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 following is a summary of the three-tiered heirarchy of valuation input levels.
Level 1 – | Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. | |
Level 2 – | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). | |
Level 3 – | Prices are determined using 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 risks associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund’s fair value measurements as of the end of the reporting period:

The Nuveen funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees is responsible for the valuation process and has delegated the oversight of the daily valuation process to the Adviser’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee, pursuant to the valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors/Trustees, is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the funds’ pricing policies, and reporting to the Board of Directors/Trustees. The Valuation Committee is aided in its efforts by the Adviser’s dedicated Securities Valuation Team, which is responsible for administering the daily valuation process and applying fair value methodologies as approved by the Valuation Committee. When determining the reliability of independent pricing services for investments owned by the funds, the Valuation Committee, among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of the pricing services and monitors the quality of security prices received through various testing reports conducted by the Securities Valuation Team.
The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making a fair value determination, based on the facts and circumstances specific to the portfolio instrument. Fair value determinations generally will be derived as follows, using public or private market information:
i.) | If available, fair value determinations shall be derived by extrapolating from recent transactions or quoted prices for identical or comparable securities. |
(ii.) | If such information is not available, an analytical valuation methodology may be used based on other available information including, but not limited to: analyst appraisals, research reports, corporate action information, issuer financial statements and shelf registration statements. Such analytical valuation methodologies may include, but are not limited to: multiple of earnings, discount from market value of a similar freely-traded security, discounted cash flow analysis, book value or a multiple thereof, risk premium/yield analysis, yield to maturity and/or fundamental investment analysis. |
The purchase price of a portfolio instrument will be used to fair value the instrument only if no other valuation methodology is available or deemed appropriate, and it is determined that the purchase price fairly reflects the instrument’s current value.
For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board of Directors/Trustees, the fair value price is compared against the last available and next available market quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such testing and fair valuation occurrences are reported to the Board of Directors/Trustees.
3. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments. 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, 2013.

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, 2013, the complex-level fee rate for each of these Funds was as follows: |
Fund | Complex-Level Fee Rate | |||
Kansas | 0.1661 | % | ||
Kentucky | 0.1661 | |||
Michigan | 0.1661 | |||
Missouri | 0.1759 | |||
Ohio | 0.1690 | |||
Wisconsin | 0.1661 |
Nuveen Investments | 113 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Adviser is responsible for each Fund’s overall investment strategy and asset allocation decisions. 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 contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses 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, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) for Ohio do not exceed .750% of the average daily net assets of any class of Fund shares. The Adviser may also voluntarily reimburse expenses from time to time in any of the Funds. Voluntary reimbursements may be terminated at any time at the Adviser’s discretion.
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, 2013, 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:

8. New Accounting Pronouncements
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
In January 2013, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, replaced ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013. ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2013-01 and its impact to the financial statements 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”), is responsible for approving the advisory agreements (each, an “Investment Management Agreement”) between each Fund and Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (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 required to consider the continuation of the Advisory Agreements on an annual basis. Accordingly, at an in-person meeting held on May 20-22, 2013 (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 its 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 Advisor’s profitability with comparisons to comparable peers in the managed fund business. As part of its annual review, the Board also held a separate meeting on April 17-18, 2013, 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 its 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 annual review of the Advisory Agreements supplement the information and analysis 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 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 regarding, among other things, fund performance, fund expenses, the performance of the investment teams, and compliance, regulatory and risk management matters. In addition to regular reports, the Advisor provides special reports to the Board or a committee thereof from time to time to enhance the Board’s understanding of various topics that impact some or all the Nuveen funds (such as accounting and financial statement presentations of the various forms of leverage that may be used by a closed-end fund or an update on the valuation policies and procedures), to update the Board on regulatory developments impacting the investment company industry or to update the Board on the business plans or other matters impacting the Advisor. The Board also meets with key investment personnel managing the fund portfolios during the year. In October 2011, the Board also created two standing committees (the Open-End Fund Committee and the Closed-End Fund Committee) to assist the full Board in monitoring and gaining a deeper insight into the distinctive business practices of open-end and closed-end funds. These Committees meet prior to each quarterly Board meeting, and the Advisor provides presentations to these Committees permitting them to delve further into specific matters or initiatives impacting the respective product line.
In addition, the Board continues its program of seeking to have the Board Members or a subset thereof visit each sub-advisor to the Nuveen funds at least once over a multiple year rotation, meeting with key investment and business personnel. In this regard, the Independent Board Members visited certain of the Sub-Advisor’s investment teams in Minneapolis in September 2012, and the Sub-Advisor’s municipal team in November 2012. In addition, the ad hoc Securities Lending Committee of the Board met with certain service providers and the Audit Committee of the Board made a site visit to three pricing service providers.
The Board considers the information provided and knowledge gained at these meetings and visits during the year when performing its annual review of the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Board Members also are assisted throughout the process by independent legal counsel. Counsel provided materials describing applicable law and the duties of directors or trustees in reviewing advisory contracts. During the course of the year and during their deliberations regarding the review of advisory contracts, the Independent Board Members met with independent legal counsel in executive sessions without management present. In addition, it is important to recognize that the management arrangements for the Nuveen funds are the result of many years of review and discussion between the Independent Board Members and fund management and that the Board Members’ conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of fee arrangements and other factors developed in previous years.
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 Fund 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
Nuveen Investments | 119 |
Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process
(Unaudited) (continued)
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 further considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Advisor and its affiliates, the commitment of the Advisor to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the capability and integrity of the Advisor and its staff and the Advisor’s responsiveness to questions and concerns raised by them. 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 applicable initiatives Nuveen had taken for the open-end 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 generally provides the portfolio investment management services to the Funds. 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 thereto, organization and history, assets under management, the investment team’s 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 inappropriate 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; the resources dedicated to compliance; and the record of compliance with the policies and procedures. Given the Advisor’s emphasis on business risk, the Board also appointed an Independent Board Member as a point person to review and keep the Board apprised of developments in this area during the year.
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 and communications, administration of Board relations, regulatory and portfolio compliance and legal support. The Board further recognized Nuveen’s additional investments in personnel, including in compliance and risk management.
In reviewing the services provided, the Board considered the new services and service enhancements that the Advisor has implemented since the various advisory agreements were last reviewed. In reviewing the activities of 2012, the Board recognized the Advisor’s focus on product rationalization for both closed-end and open-end funds during the year, consolidating certain Nuveen funds through mergers that were designed to improve efficiencies and economies of scale for shareholders, repositioning various Nuveen funds through updates in their investment policies and guidelines with the expectation of bringing greater value to shareholders, and liquidating certain Nuveen funds. The Board recognized the Advisor’s significant investment in technology initiatives to, among other things, create a central repository for fund and other Nuveen product data, develop a group within the Advisor designed to handle and analyze fund performance data, and implement a data system to support the risk oversight group. The Board also recognized the enhancements in the valuation group within the Advisor, including upgrading the team and process and automating certain basic systems, and in the compliance group with the addition of personnel, particularly within the testing group. With the advent of the Open-End Fund Committee and Closed-End Fund Committee, the Board also noted the enhanced support and comprehensive in-depth presentations provided by the Advisor to these committees.
In addition to the foregoing actions, the Board also considered other initiatives related to the open-end Nuveen funds including, among other things, the development of a comprehensive strategic plan and the addition of members to the product strategy team; the commencement of various new funds; the removal of redemption fees for certain funds; the establishment of a working group to enhance the Advisor’s oversight of the disclosures pertaining to Nuveen’s products and services; the acceleration of monthly holdings disclosure for certain funds; and the development of a new share class for certain funds.
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, considered the performance history of each Fund over various time periods. The Board reviewed reports, including an analysis of the Funds’ performance and the applicable investment team. In general, in considering a fund’s performance, the Board recognized that a fund’s performance can be reviewed through various measures including the fund’s absolute return, the fund’s return compared to the performance of other peer funds, and the fund’s performance compared to its respective benchmark. Accordingly, 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”) and with recognized and/or customized benchmarks (i.e., benchmarks derived from multiple recognized benchmarks) for the
120 | Nuveen Investments |
quarter, one-, three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2012 as well as performance information reflecting the first quarter of 2013. This information supplemented the fund performance information provided to the Board at each of its quarterly meetings.
In evaluating performance, the Board recognized several factors that may impact the performance data as well as the consideration given to particular performance data. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot of time, in this case as of the end of the most recent calendar year or quarter. The Board noted that selecting a different performance period could derive significantly different results. Further, the Board recognized that it is possible that long-term performance can be adversely affected by even one period of significant underperformance so that a single investment decision or theme has the ability to disproportionately affect long-term performance. The Independent Board Members also noted that the investment experience of a particular shareholder in the Nuveen funds will vary depending on when such shareholder invests in the applicable fund, the class held (if multiple classes are offered in a fund) and the performance of the fund (or respective class) during that shareholder’s investment period.
With respect to the comparative performance information, the Board recognized that the usefulness of comparative performance data as a frame of reference to measure a fund’s performance may be limited because the Performance Peer Group, among other things, does not adequately reflect the objectives and strategies of the fund, has a different investable universe, or the composition of the peer set may be limited in size or number as well as other factors. In this regard, the Board noted that the Advisor classified, in relevant part, the Performance Peer Groups of certain funds as having significant differences from the funds but to still be somewhat relevant (including the Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund (the “Michigan Fund”)), while the Performance Peer Groups of other funds (including the Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund (the “Kansas Fund”), the Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund (the “Kentucky Fund”), the Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund (the “Missouri Fund”) and the Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund (the “Wisconsin Fund”)) were classified as having such significant differences as to be irrelevant. Accordingly, while the Board is cognizant of the relative performance of a fund’s peer set and/or benchmark(s), the Board evaluated fund performance in light of the respective fund’s investment objectives, investment parameters and guidelines and considered that the variations between the objectives and investment parameters or guidelines of the funds with their peers and/or benchmarks result in differences in performance results. The Board also noted that open-end funds offer multiple classes and the performance of the various classes of a fund should be substantially similar on a relative basis because all of the classes are invested in the same portfolio of securities and that differences in performance among classes could be principally attributed to the variations in distribution and servicing expenses of each class. In addition, with respect to any Nuveen funds for which the Board has identified performance concerns, the Board monitors such funds closely until performance improves, discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such results, considers those steps necessary or appropriate to address such issues, and reviews the results of any efforts undertaken.
In considering the performance data for the Funds, the Independent Board Members noted that the Michigan Fund and the Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund (the “Ohio Fund”) had demonstrated generally favorable performance in comparison to peers, performing in the first quartile over various periods. As noted above, the Performance Peer Groups of the Kansas Fund, the Kentucky Fund, the Missouri Fund and the Wisconsin Fund were classified as irrelevant, limiting the usefulness of the peer comparison data; therefore, the Board also considered each such Fund’s performance compared to its benchmark. In this regard, the Board noted that the Kansas Fund and the Missouri Fund outperformed their respective benchmarks over the one-, three- and five-year periods, and the Kentucky Fund provided generally comparable returns to its benchmark for such periods. Further, the Independent Board Members noted that the Wisconsin Fund outperformed its benchmark in the three- and five-year periods and provided comparable returns to its benchmark for the one-year period.
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 fees and expenses of a comparable universe of funds provided by an independent fund data provider (the “Peer Universe”) and 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. In reviewing the comparisons of fee and expense information, the Independent Board Members took into account that in certain instances various factors such as: the limited size and particular composition of the Peer Universe or Peer Group (including the inclusion of other Nuveen funds in the peer set); expense anomalies; changes in the funds comprising the Peer Universe or Peer Group from year to year; levels of reimbursement or fee waivers; 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 somewhat the ability to make a meaningful comparison with peers.
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 approximately 6 to 10 basis points higher, in line if they were within approximately 5 basis points higher

(Unaudited) (continued)
than the peer average and below if they were below the peer average of the Peer Group. In reviewing the reports, the Board noted that the majority of the Nuveen funds were at, close to or below their Peer Group or Peer Universe (if no separate Peer Group) average based on the net total expense ratio.
The Independent Board Members noted that the Kansas Fund, the Kentucky Fund, the Michigan Fund, the Missouri Fund and the Wisconsin Fund had net management fees slightly higher than their respective peer averages, but net expense ratios in line with their respective peer averages, while the Ohio Fund had a net management fee and a net expense ratio (including fee waivers and expense reimbursements) below or in line with its peer averages.
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 Board recognized that all Nuveen funds have a sub-advisor (which, in the case of the Funds, is an affiliated sub-advisor), and therefore, the overall fund management fee can be divided into two components, the fee retained by the Advisor and the fee paid to the sub-advisor. In general terms, the fee to the Advisor reflects the administrative services it provides to support the funds, and while some administrative services may occur at the sub-advisor level, the fee generally reflects the portfolio management services provided by the sub-advisor. The Independent Board Members reviewed information regarding the nature of services provided by the Advisor, including through the Sub-Advisor, and the range of fees and average fee the Sub-Advisor assessed for such services to other clients. Such other clients include 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. Many of the additional administrative services provided by the Advisor are not required for institutional clients. Given the inherent differences in the various products, particularly the extensive services provided to the Funds, the Independent Board Members believe such facts justify the different levels of fees.
3. Profitability of Fund Advisers
In conjunction with their review of fees, the Independent Board Members also considered the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities and its financial condition. The Independent Board Members reviewed the revenues and expenses of Nuveen’s advisory activities for the last two calendar 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 2012. 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 comparable assets under management (based on asset size and asset composition).
In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized the Advisor’s continued investment in its business to enhance its services, including capital improvements to investment technology, updated compliance systems, and additional personnel. In addition, in evaluating profitability, the Independent Board Members also recognized the subjective nature of determining profitability which may be affected by numerous factors including the allocation of expenses and that various allocation methodologies may each be reasonable but yield different results. 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. 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.
With respect to sub-advisors affiliated with Nuveen, including the Sub-Advisor, the Independent Board Members reviewed the sub-advisor’s revenues, expenses and profitability margins (pre- and post-tax) for its advisory activities and the methodology used for allocating expenses among the internal sub-advisors. Based on their review, the Independent Board Members were satisfied that the Sub-Advisor’s level of profitability 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 indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements), if any, the Fund Adviser and its affiliates
122 | Nuveen Investments |
receive, or are expected to receive, that are directly attributable to the management of the Funds. See Section E below for additional information on indirect benefits a 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 addition, with the acquisition of the funds previously advised by FAF Advisors, Inc. at the end of 2010, the Board noted that a portion of such funds’ assets at the time of acquisition were deemed eligible to be included in the complex-wide fee calculation in order to deliver fee savings to shareholders in the combined complex and such funds were subject to differing complex-level fee rates.
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 the Fund Advisers 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 Funds’ portfolio transactions are determined by the Sub-Advisor. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members considered that the Sub-Advisor may benefit from its soft dollar arrangements pursuant to which it receives research from brokers that execute the Funds’ portfolio transactions. With respect to fixed income securities, however, the Board recognized that such securities generally trade on a principal basis that does not generate soft dollar credits. Nevertheless, the Sub-Advisor may engage in soft dollar arrangements on behalf of other clients, and the Funds as well as the Sub-Advisor may benefit from the research or other services received. Similarly, the Board recognized that the research received pursuant to soft dollar arrangements by the Sub-Advisor may also benefit a Fund and shareholders to the extent the research enhances the ability of the Sub-Advisor to manage the Fund. The Independent Board Members noted that the Sub-Advisor’s profitability may be somewhat lower if it did not receive the research services pursuant to the soft dollar arrangements and had to acquire such services directly.
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
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.
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.
Effective Leverage (Effective Leverage Ratio): Effective leverage is investment exposure created either through borrowings or indirectly through inverse floaters, divided by the assets invested, including those assets that were purchased with the proceeds of the leverage, or referenced by the levered instrument.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP): The total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country/region in a given year, equal to total consumer, investment and government spending, plus the value of exports, minus the value of imports.
Inverse Floating Rate Securities: Inverse floating rate securities, also known as inverse floaters or tender option bonds (TOBs), 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.
Leverage: Leverage is created whenever a fund has investment exposure (both reward and/or risk) equivalent to more than 100% of the investment capital.
Lipper Michigan Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Represents the average annualized total return for all reporting funds in the Lipper Michigan Municipal Debt Funds Classification. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charge.
Lipper Ohio Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Represents the average annualized total return for all reporting funds in the Lipper Ohio Municipal Debt Funds Classification. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charge.
Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Represents the average annualized total return for all reporting funds in the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification. 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. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charge.
Net Asset Value (NAV): The net market value of all securities held in a portfolio.
Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: The market value of one share of a mutual fund or closed-end fund. For a Fund, the NAV is calculated daily by taking the Fund’s total assets (securities, cash, and accrued earnings), subtracting the Funds’s liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding.
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.
S&P 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. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
S&P Municipal Bond Kansas Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Kansas municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
S&P Municipal Bond Kentucky Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Kentucky municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
S&P Municipal Bond Michigan Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Michigan municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
S&P Municipal Bond Missouri Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Missouri municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
S&P Municipal Bond Ohio Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Ohio municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
S&P Municipal Bond Wisconsin Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Wisconsin municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
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.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. There were no amendments to or waivers from the code during the period covered by this report. The registrant has posted the code of ethics on its website at www.nuveen.com/MutualFunds/ShareholderResources/FundGovernance.aspx. (To view the code, click on Code of Conduct.)
ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.
The registrant’s Board of Trustees determined that the registrant has at least one “audit committee financial expert” (as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR) serving on its Audit Committee. 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 preapproval 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).
