to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
Over the past year, global financial markets were generally strong as stocks of many countries rose due to strengthening economies and abundant central bank support. A low and stable interest rate environment allowed the bond market to generate modest but positive returns.
More recently, markets have been less certain as economic growth is strengthening in some parts of the world, but in other areas recovery has been slow or uneven at best. Despite increasing market volatility, geopolitical turmoil and concerns over rising rates, better-than-expected earnings results and economic data have supported U.S. stocks. Europe continues to face challenges as disappointing growth and inflation measures led the European Central Bank to further cut interest rates. Japan is suffering from the burden of the recent consumption tax as the government’s structural reforms continue to steadily progress. Flare-ups in hotspots, such as the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and Middle East, have not yet been able to derail the markets, though that remains a possibility. With all the challenges facing the markets, accommodative monetary policy around the world has helped lessen the impact of these events.
It is in such changeable markets that professional investment management is most important. Investment teams who have experienced challenging markets in the past understand how their asset class can behave in rapidly changing times. Remaining committed to their investment disciplines during these times is a critical component to achieving long-term success. In fact, many strong investment track records are established during challenging periods because experienced investment teams understand that volatile markets place a premium on companies and investment ideas that can weather the short-term volatility. By maintaining appropriate time horizons, diversification and relying on practiced investment teams, we believe that investors can achieve their long-term investment objectives.
As always, I encourage you to communicate with your financial consultant if you have any questions about your investment in a Nuveen Fund. On behalf of the other members of the Nuveen Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
William J. Schneider
Chairman of the Board

How did the Funds perform during the six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2014?
The tables in the Fund Performance, Expense Ratios and Effective Leverage Ratios section of this report provide each Fund’s total return performance for its Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) for the six-month, one-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended November 30, 2014. Each Fund’s Class A share returns are compared with the performance of its corresponding market index and Lipper classification average.
During the reporting period, the Class A Shares at NAV of all six Funds outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index as well as their respective Lipper classification average.
What strategies were used to manage the Funds during the reporting period and how did these strategies influence performance during the six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2014?
All of the Funds continued to employ the same fundamental investment strategies and tactics long relied upon by 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 Municipal Bond Fund
Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund
The Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index, during the six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2014. Favorable duration and yield curve positioning were the biggest factors behind the Fund’s strong

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
results. Because the portfolio’s duration was longer than that of the benchmark, the Fund was more sensitive to changes in interest rates and therefore benefited to a greater extent from declining long-term rates during the period. More specifically, from a yield curve standpoint, we were overweight in longer dated bonds, which outperformed disproportionately amid the positive market conditions.
Credit quality positioning also contributed to relative performance. As credit spreads contracted, meaning investors were willing to accept less income in exchange for taking on credit risk, our overweightings in BBB-rated, below investment grade and non-rated bonds proved helpful. On the other hand, the Fund’s sector positioning detracted from relative performance during the reporting period. In many cases, however, effective security selection more than made up for that negative impact.
For example, we had an overweighting in dedicated sales tax bonds, which routinely make up a relatively large portion of Kansas municipal bond issuance. This sector lagged the market, but because many of the portfolio’s bonds performed well, they offset the underperformance of other holdings from this sector. Also, the Fund was underweighted in two strong performing sectors, higher education and corporate-backed industrial development revenue. Effective bond selection within those groups helped us overcome that drawback, making them positive overall contributors. Performance advantages came from being underweighted in the struggling general obligation (GO) bond sector and from overweighting health care, a particularly successful area.
In buying new bonds for the Fund, our approach was to seek relative value for shareholders amid the relatively limited supply of bonds available for purchase. We bought a variety of Kansas municipal bonds during the reporting period, including dedicated sales tax revenue bonds for the Kansas International Speedway and the Prairiefire retail development project, continuing care retirement community bonds for Presbyterian Manors and student housing bonds for Wichita State University.
In addition, we made a number of purchases of bonds issued by U.S. territories, given the short supply of Kansas debt and the relative attractiveness of territorial bonds issued by the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam. Like most territorial bonds, these holdings offer triple exemption (i.e., exemption from most federal, state and local taxes). The new purchases included Virgin Islands tax bonds, Guam Power Authority bonds, Guam Water Authority bonds and Guam GO bonds. We liked these securities because we thought they offered good value for shareholders and lacked the credit concerns associated with Puerto Rico.
At the end of the reporting period, the portfolio had a roughly 2.7% stake in Puerto Rico bonds, down modestly from the beginning of the reporting period after a sale of some long duration sales tax bonds. This allocation consisted of four separate issues: one insured bond issue, one tobacco-securitization bond, one hospital issue and one housing finance authority bond secured by payments from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. We continued to own these securities because they were either insured or secured by dedicated revenue streams unrelated to the credit challenges associated with the territory.
To finance our purchases, we primarily used the proceeds from called bonds. We also made three bond sales, including the Puerto Rico sales tax bonds we mentioned earlier. In addition, we sold some Tabor College bonds in order to lower the Fund’s concentration in that credit, as well as some lower coupon bonds for Johnson County that we believed would be vulnerable to a price decline should interest rates rise.
The Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund also outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index, during the six-month reporting period. The Fund was helped by its longer duration and especially from its overweighting on the long end of the yield curve, which allowed the Fund to capture more of the benefits from declining long-term interest rates.
Favorable sector allocation also added value. The Fund was underweight in state GO and utilities bonds, which proved advantageous as both sectors trailed the national market. The Fund was also overweight in the strong performing health care sector, which boosted the Fund’s performance. In contrast, the Fund’s results were hampered by its underweighting in several outperforming sectors, including higher education, transportation and industrial development revenue bonds. The Fund had a large overweighting in dedicated tax bonds, owing to this sector’s sizable representation in the Wisconsin municipal bond market, which detracted from relative performance as that group lagged.
Within all of these sectors, however, the Fund’s individual investments were strong performers relative to the national municipal bond market and in all of the categories we mentioned, we were either able to make up for any underperformance stemming from unfavorable sector weightings, or add to the outperformance we saw from the productive sector allocations.

To a lesser extent, the Fund benefited from effective credit quality positioning. Compared with the national municipal bond market, the Fund’s overweightings in BBB-rated, below investment grade and non-rated bonds added to the Fund’s relative performance.
Throughout the reporting period, the Fund was well positioned to take advantage of narrowing credit spreads within the bond market, meaning that investors were willing to assume increased credit risk in their search for higher yields in a low interest rate environment. In addition, the Fund’s long duration was helpful amid falling long-term interest rates. Given that we liked the portfolio’s basic structure coming into the reporting period, our purchase and sale activity for the portfolio was relatively limited.
Some of our new additions to the Fund were of U.S. territorial bonds, including adding a small amount to our existing holdings in U.S. Virgin Islands dedicated sales-tax receipt bonds, as well as a purchase of Guam Water Authority bonds. The rest of our purchases involved Wisconsin debt and we were able to find a wide assortment of in-state opportunities that met our portfolio management objectives. New Wisconsin bond purchases included some dedicated sales tax bonds, debt to fund senior living facilities, bonds for Rogers Memorial Hospital, and corporate-backed industrial development revenue bonds for National Gypsum Company.
In general, our new purchases were securities with credit ratings of A or lower, positioning the Fund to realize the benefits if credit spreads continue to narrow. To finance these purchases, we primarily used the income from new investment inflows into the Fund, as well as the proceeds of a bond that matured during the reporting period.
Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund
Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund
Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund
The Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index during the six-month reporting period. Sector selection was the biggest contributor to relative results during the time frame, especially an overweighting in health care bonds. These bonds outpaced the index due to strong demand from investors seeking higher yields. The Fund’s allocation to public power bonds also added value. Duration positioning, which reflects the Fund’s interest rate sensitivity, was a modest contributor. The Fund was underweighted in shorter duration securities, which generally suffered price declines as short-term municipal bond yields rose.
To a lesser extent, credit quality modestly detracted from relative results. The Fund benefited from its underweighting in AAA-rated bonds, the worst-performing of all the credit quality tiers. As a group, high quality securities trailed their lower quality counterparts, which benefited disproportionately from investors’ appetite for higher yielding securities. The positive effects of that positioning were somewhat offset by the Fund’s underweighting in below investment grade securities, among the market’s best performers.
Of final note, our holdings in long duration tender option bonds (TOBs) performed particularly well. TOBs are derivative contracts we use to leverage the portfolio and attempt to increase distributable income and enhance total return.
Portfolio activity was partly shaped by shareholder outflows, which were elevated particularly in the first portion of the reporting period. To meet these redemptions, we used the proceeds from called bonds. We also sold some short duration high quality bonds, including some pre-refunded securities, given what we saw as these holdings’ more limited prospects.
Meanwhile, amid relatively limited supply, we identified two suitable opportunities to purchase bonds. These included bonds issued by Louisville Gas & Electric and by Louisville International Airport. These were a couple of our purchases, during a particularly quiet time for new acquisitions.
As a result of our purchases and sales, the Fund’s allocation to the AAA-rated credit quality segment, representing the highest quality bonds in the marketplace, decreased, while its exposure to A-rated, BBB-rated and non-rated bonds increased.
During the reporting period, we established a portfolio hedge by purchasing a credit default swap on the debt obligations of the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico. We have previously noted a correlation between the credit quality of Puerto Rico bonds and that of the overall high yield municipal bond market. Given that this portfolio regularly maintains a meaningful stake in BBB-rated and below investment grade rated bonds, we saw this as a way to reduce the portfolio’s overall risk while continuing to take advantage of opportunities to invest in the lower quality portion of the marketplace. During the reporting period, these swaps had a negligible impact on performance.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
The Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index during the six-month reporting period, with duration positioning as the Fund’s primary contributor. Underweighting shorter duration bonds proved especially helpful, as shorter term municipal bond yields rose and prices declined. Our holdings in long-duration tender offer bonds (TOBs) also bolstered relative performance.
Credit quality positioning helped as well to a lesser extent. Specifically, the Fund’s results were lifted by an underweighting in AAA-rated bonds, which underperformed due to investors’ appetite for higher yielding, lower quality securities.
Meanwhile, sector allocation produced mixed results. The Fund’s overweighting in water and sewer bonds was particularly helpful. Most notably, a stake in Detroit water and sewer bonds, which are backed by a dedicated tax revenue stream and are independent of the city’s general taxing authority, were meaningful contributors to the Fund’s relative performance. We entered the reporting period with a neutral weighting in these bonds, which had become somewhat tainted by Detroit’s bankruptcy. During the reporting period, the issuer tendered for all of its outstanding debt. We elected to tender some of our uninsured Detroit Water & Sewerage Department bonds and replaced them in August with new, insured bonds issued by the utility, which serves roughly 40% of Michigan’s population and therefore provides what we deem an essential service to the state. Since our acquisition of the new Detroit water and sewer bonds, the securities performed quite well. We sold our remaining holdings in uninsured Detroit water and sewer bonds late in the reporting period, recognizing that they had rallied strongly and had, in our view, reached full value.
In contrast, the Fund’s overweighting in pre-refunded securities hurt relative results. These bonds, which are the highest quality available in the municipal bond market because they are backed by U.S. Treasury securities, lagged in an environment that favored higher yielding, lower quality bonds.
As with the Kentucky Fund, this Fund was also helped by holding long duration tender option bonds (TOBs). These derivative contracts performed well as long term rates declined. Similarly matching our approach in the Kentucky portfolio, we purchased a credit default swap on Puerto Rico debt. This strategy helped reduce the portfolio’s overall risk while still enabling us to capitalize on opportunities among lower quality Michigan bonds. During the reporting period, these swaps had a negligible impact on performance.
Our limited purchase activity was spread over a handful of sectors during the reporting period. New additions to the portfolio included some higher education and local school district bonds. We also purchased newly issued bonds of the COBO Center, a convention facility in Detroit, whose debt is backed by a combination of statewide and local liquor, tobacco and hotel taxes. Due to Detroit’s ongoing credit problems, we continued to avoid any allocation to the city’s general obligation debt.
The Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index during the six-month reporting period, helped primarily by duration positioning. Specifically, the Fund’s underweighting in shorter duration bonds was beneficial, given that these securities lagged as short-term interest rates rose.
Credit quality positioning also lifted performance, led by an underweighting in AAA-rated bonds. Securities in this highest quality credit tier lagged, as investors increasingly favored lower quality, higher yielding alternatives in an environment of scarce income.
The Fund’s performance however, was hurt by sector allocation. An overweighting in health care bonds was particularly helpful. This higher yielding sector was one of the market’s best-performing groups, given that investors gravitated toward bonds that produced more income. An overweighting in pre-refunded bonds hurt, as these high quality securities lagged because investors tended to prefer lower quality, higher yielding debt.
Our portfolio activity was relatively muted. On the sale side, we liquidated most of our holdings in Wittenberg University bonds, given our concern about the credit outlook for this small, tuition dependent college. We also eliminated some smaller portfolio holdings that we felt the market was valuing highly at the time of our sales. With these proceeds, as well as the funds generated by bond calls, we made a small number of purchases. We bought intermediate duration bonds issued by The Ohio State University, as well as some dedicated-tax bonds issued by the Franklin County Convention Facilities Authority. We also sold some longer duration tobacco bonds that had performed well and purchased shorter term tobacco securities that were more attractively priced and offered roughly equivalent yields.

During the reporting period, we established a portfolio hedge by purchasing a credit default swap on the debt obligations of the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico. We have previously noted a correlation between the credit quality of Puerto Rico bonds and that of the overall high yield municipal bond market. Given that this portfolio regularly maintains a meaningful stake in BBB-rated and below investment grade rated bonds, we saw this as a way to reduce the portfolio’s overall risk while continuing to take advantage of opportunities to invest in the lower quality portion of the marketplace. During the reporting period, these swaps had a negligible impact on performance.
Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund
The Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index during the six-month reporting period, with the Fund’s duration and yield-curve positioning the main drivers of its relative results. The Fund’s duration, meaning the measure of its sensitivity to interest rate changes, was longer than the benchmark. This helped the Fund benefit more fully than the index from declining long-term rates. From a yield curve perspective, the portfolio was lifted by its larger allocation to longer dated bonds, as well as its related underweighting in shorter duration securities. As short-term interest rates rose, it caused short-term securities to underperform, while longer term bond prices generally appreciated in response to declining long-term rates.
Credit quality positioning bolstered the Fund’s relative results as well. Specifically, the Fund was overweight in BBB-rated and non-rated bonds. These were some of the municipal bond market’s best performers, reflecting investor demand for higher yielding securities in an environment of scarce income. A corresponding underweighting in AAA-rated bonds was also helpful, given that these issues lagged higher yielding alternatives.
Sector positioning (especially an overweighting in health care bonds) also proved beneficial and added to relative performance as investors’ appetite for higher yielding securities helped drive certain sectors. Meanwhile, the Fund’s small exposure to bonds associated with Puerto Rico modestly detracted. In July, we pared back the Fund’s exposure to Puerto Rico bonds to about 1%, roughly half of what it was at the beginning of the reporting period. Our remaining Puerto Rico positions consist of insured senior lien Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (COFINA) sales tax revenue bonds.
The Fund experienced shareholder inflows during the reporting period. We used these inflows, along with the proceeds from calls, maturities and our sales of Puerto Rico bonds, to make some new purchases for the Fund. Much of our buying was concentrated in bonds with maturities in the 15- to 20-year range, a reflection of the available supply and also our view that this part of the yield curve offered particular value. Notable purchases during the reporting period were two issues brought to market by the A-rated Missouri Joint Municipal Electric Utility Commission. We viewed both bond issues as attractive and were able to obtain sizable allocations.
An Update Regarding Detroit and Puerto Rico
We continued to monitor two situations in the broader municipal market for any impact on the Funds’ holdings and performance: the ongoing economic problems of Puerto Rico and the City of Detroit’s bankruptcy case. The Puerto Rico bonds were originally added to our portfolios to keep assets fully invested and working for the Funds’ as well as to enhance diversity, duration and credit. The Puerto Rico credits offered higher yields, added diversification and triple exemption (i.e., exemption from most federal, state and local taxes). However, Puerto Rico’s continued economic weakening, escalating debt service obligations, and long-standing inability to deliver a balanced budget led to multiple downgrades on its debt over the past two years. Following the latest rating reduction by Moody’s in July 2014, Puerto Rico general obligation debt was rated B2/BB+/BB (below investment grade) by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, with negative outlooks. In late June 2014, Puerto Rico approved new legislation creating a judicial framework and formal process that would allow several of the commonwealth’s public corporations to restructure their public debt. As of November 2014, the Nuveen complex held $71 million in bonds backed by public corporations in Puerto Rico that could be restructured under this legislation, representing less than 0.1% of our municipal assets under management. In light of the evolving economic situation in Puerto Rico, Nuveen’s credit analysis of the commonwealth had previously considered the possibility of a default and the restructuring of public corporations, and we adjusted our portfolios to prepare for such an outcome, although no such default or restructuring has occurred to date. The Nuveen complex’s entire exposure to obligations of the government of Puerto Rico and other Puerto Rico issuers totals 0.35% of assets under management as of November 30, 2014.
Nuveen Investments | 9 |
Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
The second situation that we continued to monitor was the City of Detroit’s filing for Chapter 9 in federal bankruptcy court in July 2013. Burdened by decades of population loss, changes in the auto manufacturing industry and significant tax base deterioration, Detroit had been under severe financial stress for an extended period prior to the filing. Before Detroit could exit bankruptcy, issues surrounding the city’s complex debt portfolio, numerous union contracts, significant legal questions and more than 100,000 creditors had to be resolved. By October 2014, all of the major creditors had reached agreement on the city’s plan to restructure its $18.5 billion of debt and emerge from bankruptcy and on November 7, 2014. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved the city’s bankruptcy exit plan, thereby erasing approximately $7 billion in debt. The settlement plan also provided for $1.7 billion to be reinvested in the city for improved public safety, blight removal and upgraded basic services. In August 2014, Detroit announced a tender offer for the city’s water and sewer bonds, aimed at replacing some of the $5.2 billion of existing debt with lower cost bonds. Approximately $1.5 billion in existing water and sewer bonds were returned to the city by investors under the tender offer, which enabled Detroit to issue $1.8 billion in new water and sewer bonds, resulting in savings of $250 million over the life of the bonds. The city also raised about $150 million to finance sewer system improvements. As part of the deal, Detroit water and sewer bonds were permanently removed from the city’s bankruptcy case. The Michigan Fund participated in the tender offer for existing Detroit water and sewer bonds and purchased the new water and sewer bonds. In general, Detroit water and sewer credits rallied following these positive developments.

and Dividend Information
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 regular monthly dividends out of its net investment income at a rate that reflects its past and projected net income performance. To permit a Fund to maintain a more stable monthly dividend, the Fund may pay dividends consisting only of net investment income at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If the Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it will hold the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund’s net asset value. Conversely, if the Fund has cumulatively paid in dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute a negative UNII that will likewise be reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. Each Fund will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to shareholders.
As of November 30, 2014, the Funds had positive UNII balances, based upon our best estimate, for tax purposes and positive UNII balances for financial reporting purposes.
All monthly dividends paid by each Fund during the six-months ended November 30, 2014 were paid from net investment income. If a portion of a Fund’s monthly distributions was sourced from or comprised of elements other than net investment income, including capital gains and/or a return of capital, the Fund’s shareholders would have received a notice to that effect. The composition and per share amounts of each Fund’s monthly dividends for the reporting period are presented in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights, respectively (for reporting purposes) and in Note 6—Income Tax Information within the accompany Notes to Financial Statements (for income tax purposes), later in this report.

Fund Performance, Expense Ratios
and Effective Leverage Ratios
The Fund Performance, Expense Ratios and Effective Leverage Ratios for each Fund are shown within this section of the report.
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 an agreement by the investment adviser to waive certain fees and/or reimburse expenses during the periods presented. If any such waivers and/or reimbursements had not been in place, returns would have been reduced. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 7—Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates for more information. 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, and assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.
Comparative index and Lipper return information is provided for Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) only.
The expense ratios shown reflect total operating expenses (before fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any) as shown in the 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.

Yields as of November 30, 2014
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.

1 | The SEC Yield for Class A shares quoted in the table reflects the maximum sales load. Investors paying a reduced load because of volume discounts, investors paying no load because they qualify for one of the several exclusions from the load and existing shareholders who previously paid a load but would like to know the SEC Yield applicable to their shares on a going-forward basis, should understand that the SEC Yield effectively applicable to them would be higher than the figure quoted in the table. |
2 | The Taxable-Equivalent Yield is based on the Fund’s SEC 30-Day Yield on the indicated date and a combined federal and state income tax rate as shown in the respective table above. |

Examples
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 ended November 30, 2014.
The beginning of the period is June 1, 2014.
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 each Fund’s actual expense ratios 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 following 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) | All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets. |
(2) | Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns. |
(3) | Ratings: Using the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies. |
(4) | Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities. |
(5) | Investment, or portion of investment, has been pledged to collateralize the net payment obligations for investments in inverse floating rate transactions. |
(6) | Other Assets Less Liabilities includes the Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of derivative instruments as listed within Investments in Derivatives as of the end of the reporting period. |
(7) | The Fund entered into the credit default swaps to gain investment exposure to the referenced entity. Selling protection has a similar credit risk position to owning the referenced entity. Buying protection has a similar credit risk position to selling the referenced entity short. |
(8) | The credit spread generally serves as an indication of the current status of the payment/performance risk and therefore the likelihood of default of the credit derivative. The credit spread also reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into a credit default swap contract. Higher credit spreads are indicative of higher likelihood of performance by the seller of protection. |
WI/DD | Investments, or portion of investments, purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. |
(IF) | Inverse floating rate investment. |
(ETM) | Escrowed to maturity. |
(UB) | Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 3 – Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives, Inverse Floating Rate Securities for more information. |

(1) | All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets. |
(2) | Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns. |
(3) | Ratings: Using the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies. |
(4) | Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities. |
(5) | Investment, or portion of investment, has been pledged to collateralize the net payment obligations for investments in inverse floating rate transactions. |
(6) | Other Assets Less Liabilities includes the Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of derivative instruments as listed within Investments in Derivatives as of the end of the reporting period. |
(7) | The Fund entered into the credit default swaps to gain investment exposure to the referenced entity. Selling protection has a similar credit risk position to owning the referenced entity. Buying protection has a similar credit risk position to selling the referenced entity short. |
(8) | The credit spread generally serves as an indication of the current status of the payment/performance risk and therefore the likelihood of default of the credit derivative. The credit spread also reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into a credit default swap contract. Higher credit spreads are indicative of higher likelihood of performance by the seller of protection. |
(ETM) | Escrowed to maturity. |
(IF) | Inverse floating rate investment. |

(1) | All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets. |
(2) | Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns. |
(3) | Ratings: Using the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies. |
(4) | Investment, or portion of investment, has been pledged to collateralize the net payment obligations for investments in inverse floating rate transactions. |
(5) | Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities. |
(6) | Other Assets Less Liabilities includes the Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of derivative instruments as listed within Investments in Derivatives as of the end of the reporting period. |
(7) | The Fund entered into the credit default swaps to gain investment exposure to the referenced entity. Selling protection has a similar credit risk position to owning the referenced entity. Buying protection has a similar credit risk position to selling the referenced entity short. |
(8) | The credit spread generally serves as an indication of the current status of the payment/performance risk and therefore the likelihood of default of the credit derivative. The credit spread also reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into a credit default swap contract. Higher credit spreads are indicative of higher likelihood of performance by the seller of protection. |
WI/DD | Investment, or portion of investment, purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. |
(IF) | Inverse floating rate investment. |
(ETM) | Escrowed to maturity. |

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
General Information
Trust 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. 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.
Investment Adviser
The Funds’ investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”). The Adviser is responsible for each Fund’s overall investment strategy and asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), a subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolios of the Funds.
Purchase and Sale Agreement
On October 1, 2014, TIAA-CREF, a national financial services organization, completed its previously announced acquisition of Nuveen, the parent company of the Adviser. The transaction has not resulted in any change in the portfolio management of the Funds or in the Funds’ investment objectives or policies.
Because the consummation of the acquisition resulted in the “assignment” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) and automatic termination of the Funds’ investment management agreements and investment sub-advisory agreements, Fund shareholders were asked to approve new investment management agreements with the Adviser and new investment sub-advisory agreements with each Fund’s Sub-Adviser. These new agreements were approved by shareholders of each of the Funds, and went into effect on October 1, 2014. The terms of the new agreements, including the fees payable to each Fund’s Adviser and Sub-Adviser, are substantially identical to those of the investment management agreements and investment sub-advisory agreements in place immediately prior to the closing.
Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies
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, local income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital. Under normal market conditions, each Fund invests at least 80% of the sum of its net assets and 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. These municipal bonds include obligations issued by its respective state and its subdivisions, authorities, instrumentalities and corporations, as well as obligations issued by U.S. territories (such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam) 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 the Sub-Adviser to be of comparable quality. Each Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in below investment grade municipal bonds, commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk” bonds. Each Fund may invest 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 Fund’s income and returns through this leveraged exposure. These investments are speculative, however, and also create the possibility that income and returns will be diminished.
Each Fund may utilize futures contracts, swap contracts, options on futures contracts and options on swap contracts in an attempt to manage market risk, credit risk and yield curve risk, and to manage the effective maturity or duration of securities in each Fund’s portfolio.
The Funds’ most recent prospectus provides further descriptions of each Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies, and principal risks.

Significant Accounting Policies
Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.” 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 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 November 30, 2014, the Funds’ outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments were as follows:
Kansas | Kentucky | Michigan | Missouri | Ohio | Wisconsin | |||||||||||||||||||
Outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments | $ | — | $ | 3,500,000 | $ | — | $ | 4,668,905 | $ | 11,804,162 | $ | — |
Investment Income
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and includes accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income also reflects paydowns 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. If a refund is received for workout expenditures paid in a prior reporting period, such amounts will be recognized as “Legal fee refund” on the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and distributed to 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 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 0.20% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class A Share purchases of $1 million or more are sold at net asset value (“NAV”) without an up-front sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase. Class C Shares are sold without an up-front sales charge but incur a 0.75% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a 0.25% annual 12b-1 service fee. The Funds will issue Class C2 Shares upon the exchange of Class C2 Shares from another Nuveen mutual fund or for the purpose of dividend reinvestment, but Class C2 Shares are not available for new accounts or for additional investment into existing accounts. Class C2 Shares incur a 0.55% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a 0.20% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class C and Class C2 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.
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.
Nuveen Investments | 101 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Netting Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable International Swaps and Derivative Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows each Fund to offset certain securities and derivatives with a specific counterparty as well as any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, each Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis.
The Funds’ investments subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, if any, are further described in Note 3 – Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives.
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. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
The fair valuation input levels as described below are for fair value measurement purposes.
Investment Valuation
Prices of fixed income securities are provided by a pricing service approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”). 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. These securities are generally classified as Level 2. 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.
Prices of swap contracts are also provided by a pricing service approved by the Board using the same methods as described above and are generally classified as Level 2.
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 Board or its appointee 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 NAV (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 Board or its appointee.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received 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
102 | Nuveen Investments |
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 hierarchy 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 Board is responsible for the valuation process and has appointed 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, is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the Funds’ pricing policies and reporting to the Board. 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.
Nuveen Investments | 103 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
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, 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.
3. Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives
Portfolio Securities
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.
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.
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”).
An investment in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(IF) – Inverse floating rate investment.” The Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities shows only the inverse floaters and not the underlying bonds as an asset, and does not reflect the short-term floating rate certificates as liabilities. Also, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” only the net amount of earnings on its inverse floater investment (net of the interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates and the expenses of the trust), and does not show the amount of that interest paid as an interest expense on the Statement of Operations.
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 a component of “Interest expense” on the Statement of Operations.
104 | Nuveen Investments |
The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest rate and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters during the six months ended November 30, 2014, were as follows:
Kansas | Kentucky | Michigan | Missouri | Ohio | Wisconsin | |||||||||||||||||||
Average floating rate obligations outstanding | $ | 9,420,000 | $ | 5,650,000 | $ | — | $ | 2,225,000 | $ | — | $ | — | ||||||||||||
Average annual interest rate and fees | 0.56% | 0.54% | —% | 0.23% | —% | —% |
As of November 30, 2014, the total amount of floating rate obligations issued by each Fund’s self-deposited inverse floaters and externally-deposited inverse floaters was as follows:
Kansas | Kentucky | Michigan | Missouri | Ohio | Wisconsin | |||||||||||||||||||
Floating rate obligations: self-deposited inverse floaters | $ | 9,420,000 | $ | 5,650,000 | $ | — | $ | 2,225,000 | $ | — | $ | — | ||||||||||||
Floating rate obligations: externally-deposited inverse floaters | 5,250,000 | 22,500,000 | 3,150,000 | — | 32,100,000 | 3,750,000 | ||||||||||||||||||
Total | $ | 14,670,000 | $ | 28,150,000 | $ | 3,150,000 | $ | 2,225,000 | $ | 32,100,000 | $ | 3,750,000 |
Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a “recourse trust” or “credit recovery swap”) (such agreements are 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 denoted as “Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of November 30, 2014, 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 | $ | — | $ | 13,125,000 | $ | 3,750,000 |
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.
Investments in Derivatives
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.
Credit Default Swaps
A Fund may enter into a credit default swap contract to seek to maintain a total return on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio, or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Credit default swap contracts involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if/ when there is a credit event by a third party. Generally, a credit event means bankruptcy, failure to pay, or restructuring. The specific credit events applicable for each credit default swap are stated in the terms of the particular swap agreement. As a purchaser of a credit default swap contract, the Fund pays to the counterparty a periodic interest fee based on the notional amount of the credit default swap. This interest fee is accrued daily and, for over-the-counter swaps, is recognized with the daily change in the market value of the contract as a component of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on credit default swaps (, net)” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. This interest fee is recorded as a realized loss upon payment. Credit default swap contracts are valued daily.
Upon occurrence of a specific credit event with respect to the underlying referenced entity, the Fund is obligated to deliver that security, or an equivalent amount of cash, to the counterparty in exchange for receipt of the notional amount from the counterparty. The difference between the value of the security delivered and the notional amount received is recorded as a realized gain or loss. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are recognized as a component of “Credit default swaps premiums paid and/or received” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable. As a seller of a credit default swap contract, the Fund generally receives from the counterparty a periodic interest fee
Nuveen Investments | 105 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
based on the notional amount of the credit default swap. Upon occurrence of a specific credit event with respect to the underlying referenced entity, the Fund will either receive that security, or an equivalent amount of cash, from the counterparty in exchange for payment of the notional amount to the counterparty, or pay a net settlement amount of the credit default swap contract less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. The difference between the value of the security received and the notional amount paid is recorded as a realized loss.
Changes in the value of a credit default swap during the fiscal period are recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of swaps,” and realized gains and losses are recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from swaps” on the Statement of Operations. Investments in swaps cleared through an exchange obligate a Fund and the clearing broker to settle monies on a daily basis representing changes in the prior days “mark-to-market” of the swap. If a Fund has unrealized appreciation the clearing broker would credit the Fund’s account with an amount equal to appreciation and conversely if a Fund has unrealized depreciation the clearing broker would debit a Fund’s account with an amount equal to depreciation. These daily cash settlements are also known as “variation margin.” Variation margin is recognized as a receivable and/or payable for “Variation margin on swap contracts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Fund could incur as a buyer of protection in a credit default swap contract is limited to the notional amount of the contract. The maximum potential amount would be offset by the recovery value, if any, of the respective referenced entity.
During the six months ended November 30, 2014, Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio managed credit risk by investing in credit default swaps to purchase credit protection.
The average notional amount of credit default swap contracts outstanding during the six months ended November 30, 2014, was as follows:
Kentucky | Michigan | Ohio | ||||||||||
Average notional amount of credit default swap contracts outstanding* | $ | 1,010,000 | $ | 433,333 | $ | 1,393,333 |

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.
Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount.

6. Income Tax Information
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.
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 NAVs of the Funds.
As of November 30, 2014, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments (excluding investments in derivatives), as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund’s management fee compensates the Adviser for the overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.
Nuveen Investments | 111 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
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 | 0.3500 | % | ||
For the next $125 million | 0.3375 | |||
For the next $250 million | 0.3250 | |||
For the next $500 million | 0.3125 | |||
For the next $1 billion | 0.3000 | |||
For the next $3 billion | 0.2750 | |||
For net assets over $5 billion | 0.2500 |
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 | 0.2000 | % | ||
$56 billion | 0.1996 | |||
$57 billion | 0.1989 | |||
$60 billion | 0.1961 | |||
$63 billion | 0.1931 | |||
$66 billion | 0.1900 | |||
$71 billion | 0.1851 | |||
$76 billion | 0.1806 | |||
$80 billion | 0.1773 | |||
$91 billion | 0.1691 | |||
$125 billion | 0.1599 | |||
$200 billion | 0.1505 | |||
$250 billion | 0.1469 | |||
$300 billion | 0.1445 |
* | 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 certain types of leverage. For these purposes, 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 November 30, 2014, the complex-level fee rate for each Fund was as follows: |
Fund | Complex-Level Fee Rate | |||
Kansas | 0.1639 | % | ||
Kentucky | 0.1639 | |||
Michigan | 0.1639 | |||
Missouri | 0.1756 | |||
Ohio | 0.1679 | |||
Wisconsin | 0.1639 |
The Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses so that total annual Fund operating expenses, (excluding 12b-1 distribution and/or service fees, interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses) for Ohio do not exceed 0.750% of the average daily net assets of any class of Fund shares.
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 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 six months ended November 30, 2014, 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:

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. 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 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 multiple 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) Per Share: A fund’s Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash and accrued earnings) less its total liabilities. For funds with multiple classes, Net Assets are determined separately for each share class. NAV per share is equal to the fund’s (or share class’) Net Assets divided by its number of shares outstanding.

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report (continued)
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.
Total Investment Exposure: Total investment exposure is a fund’s assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes a fund’s use of preferred stock and borrowings and 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.
Zero Coupon Bond: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. 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.
