INVESTMENT ADVISER NAME CHANGE
Effective January 1, 2011, Nuveen Asset Management, the Fund’s investment adviser, changed its name to Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (“Nuveen Fund Advisors”). Concurrently, Nuveen Fund Advisors formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, to house its portfolio management capabilities.
NUVEEN INVESTMENTS COMPLETES STRATEGIC COMBINATION WITH FAF ADVISORS
On December 31, 2010, Nuveen Investments completed the strategic combination between Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, the largest investment affiliate of Nuveen Investments, and FAF Advisors. As part of this transaction, U.S. Bancorp – the parent of FAF Advisors – received cash consideration and a 9.5% stake in Nuveen Investments in exchange for the long term investment business of FAF Advisors, including investment-management responsibilities for the non-money market mutual funds of the First American Funds family.
The approximately $27 billion of mutual fund and institutional assets managed by FAF Advisors, along with the investment professionals managing these assets and other key personnel, have become part of Nuveen Asset Management, LLC. With these additions to Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, this affiliate now manages more than $100 billion of assets across a broad range of strategies from municipal and taxable fixed income to traditional and specialized equity investments.
This combination does not affect the investment objectives or strategies of this Fund. Over time, Nuveen Investments expects that the combination will provide even more ways to meet the needs of investors who work with financial advisors and consultants by enhancing the multi-boutique model of Nuveen Investments, which also includes highly respected investment teams at HydePark, NWQ Investment Management, Santa Barbara Asset Management, Symphony Asset Management, Tradewinds Global Investors and Winslow Capital. Nuveen Investments managed approximately $197 billion of assets as of December 31, 2010.

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

Certain statements in this report are forward-looking statements. Discussions of specific investments are for illustration only and are not intended as recommendations of individual investments. The forward-looking statements and other views expressed herein are those of the portfolio manager as of the date of this report. Actual future results or occurrences may differ significantly from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements and the views expressed herein are subject to change at any time, due to numerous market and other factors. The Portfolio disclaims any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or views expressed herein.
Any reference to credit ratings for portfolio holdings denotes the highest rating assigned by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO) such as Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s or Fitch. AAA, AA, A and BBB ratings are investment grade; BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D ratings are below investment grade. Holdings and ratings may change over time.
This Portfolio was developed exclusively for use within Nuveen-sponsored separately managed accounts. It enables certain Nuveen municipal separately managed account investors to achieve greater diversification and return potential than otherwise might be achievable.
The Portfolio is managed by Marty Doyle, CFA, who has 20 years of investment experience and has managed the Portfolio since its inception in 2007. Here Marty discusses, the Portfolio’s investment strategy and its performance over the six-month period ended January 31, 2011.
How did the Portfolio perform during the six-month period ended January 31, 2011? What strategies were used to manage the Portfolio during the reporting period and how did these strategies influence performance?
The Municipal Total Return Managed Accounts Portfolio underperformed the Barclays Capital 7-Year Municipal Bond Index during the six-month reporting period. The table on page six provides performance information for the six-month, one-year and since inception periods ended January 31, 2011.
The Portfolio uses a value-oriented strategy and looks for higher-yielding and undervalued municipal bonds that offer the potential for above-average total return. The Portfolio invests in various types of municipal securities, including investment grade (rated BBB/Baa or better), below investment grade (rated BB/Ba or lower), high yield, and unrated municipal securities. The Portfolio focuses on securities with intermediate to longer-term maturities. This investment strategy did not change during the reporting period.
Cognizant of the fragility of the financial system, in the fall of 2010 the Federal Reserve announced a second round of quantitative easing designed to help stimulate increased economic growth. Coupled with quantitative easing came signs of stronger global growth and higher inflation expectations. This led to a large sell-off in fixed-income investments, especially in the United States. The Portfolio’s relatively longer duration detracted from performance compared with its benchmark for the reporting period.
One factor that contributed to positive performance was the Portfolio’s diversified yield curve positioning. We increased the Portfolio’s exposure to mid-grade (A and BBB rated) bonds. Additionally, we added to the Portfolio’s high yield exposure, which enhanced the Portfolio’s relative performance as well. Throughout the period, we have gradually increased our exposure to longer duration securities and improved call protection to increase the Portfolio’s income component and long-term return prospects. These strategies enhanced relative performance by utilizing a steep yield curve and replacing older investments that were called or matured.

Refer to the Glossary of Terms Used in this Report for further definition of the terms used within this Fund’s Spotlight page. |
1 | Paid February 1, 2011. This is the latest monthly tax-exempt dividend declared during the period covered by this report. |
2 | Paid December 3, 2010. Capital gains are subject to federal taxation. |
3 | Ordinary income distribution consists of short-term capital gains paid on December 3, 2010, if any. Ordinary income is subject to federal taxation. |
4 | Dividend Yield is the most recent dividend per share (annualized) divided by the appropriate price per share. The SEC 30-Day Yield is computed under an SEC standardized formula and is based on the maximum offer price per share. The 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. |
5 | 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. The Taxable-Equivalent Yield is based on the Fund’s SEC 30-Day Yield on the indicated date and a federal income tax rate of 28%. |

Risk Considerations
The principal risks of investing in the portfolio are market risk or the risk that bonds in the portfolio will decline in value; credit risk which is the risk that an issuer of a municipal bond may be unable to make interest and principal payments when due; and interest rate risk which is the risk that the value of the portfolio will decline because of rising interest rates. Credit risk is heightened for below investment grade bonds which are commonly referred to as “high-yield” bonds.

As a shareholder of the Fund, 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. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the period.
The information under “Actual Performance,” together with the amount you invested, allows you to estimate actual expenses incurred over the reporting period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the cost shown for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Incurred During Period” to estimate the expenses incurred on your account during this period.
The information under “Hypothetical Performance,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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.

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
General Information
The Nuveen Managed Accounts Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trust is comprised of the Municipal Total Return Managed Accounts Portfolio (the “Fund”), among others. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on November 14, 2006.
Effective January 1, 2011, the Fund’s adviser Nuveen Asset Management, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”) has changed its name to Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (“the Adviser”). Concurrently, the Adviser formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, to house its portfolio management capabilities. Nuveen Asset Management, LLC now serves as the Fund’s sub-adviser, and the Fund’s portfolio manager has become an employee of Nuveen Asset Management, LLC.
The Fund is developed exclusively for use within Nuveen-sponsored separately managed accounts. The Fund is a specialized municipal bond Fund to be used in combination with selected individual securities to effectively model institutional-level investment strategies. Certain securities in which the Fund invests are highly speculative. The Fund enables certain Nuveen municipal separately managed account investors to achieve greater diversification and return potential than smaller managed accounts might otherwise achieve by using lower quality, higher yielding securities and to gain access to special investment opportunities normally available only to institutional investors.
The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek attractive total return. The Fund also seeks to provide high current income exempt from regular federal income taxes. The Adviser, uses a value-oriented strategy and looks for higher-yielding and undervalued municipal bonds that offer the potential for above-average total return. The Fund invests in various types of municipal securities, including investment grade (rated BBB/Baa or better), below investment grade (rated BB/Ba or lower) (high yield), and unrated municipal securities. The Fund will focus on securities with intermediate to longer term maturities. The Fund may invest up to 50% of its net assets in high yield municipal bonds, but will normally invest 10-30% of its net assets in such bonds. The Fund may invest up to 5% of its net assets in defaulted bonds and up to 50% of its net assets in leveraged municipal securities, most notably inverse floating rate securities. The credit quality of the bonds underlying all leveraged municipal securities will be rated AA/Aa or higher, or, if unrated, judged to be of comparable quality by the Adviser. The Fund may also make forward commitments in which the Fund agrees to buy a security for settlement in the future at a price agreed upon today. The Fund is non-diversified and as a result may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
Significant Accounting Policies
Investment Valuation
Prices of municipal bonds are provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. These securities are generally classified as Level 2. When price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal bonds) the pricing service establishes a security’s fair value using methods that may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer, or market activity, provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs.
Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. These securities 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 Fund’s 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 as 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 Fund’s Board of Trustees or its designee.
28 | Nuveen Investments |
Refer to Footnote 2 – Fair Value Measurements for further details on the leveling of securities held by the Fund 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 Fund has instructed the custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At January 31, 2011, the Fund had no such outstanding purchase commitments.
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.
Income Taxes
The 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, the Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal income tax, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Fund. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Fund are subject to federal taxation.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund declares dividends from its tax-exempt net investment income daily and pays 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 Fund’s 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 tax-exempt 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.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments, including foreign currency forwards, futures, options and swap contracts. Although the Fund is authorized to invest in such derivative instruments, and may do so in the future, it did not make any such investments during the six months ended January 31, 2011.
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
The 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 the Fund) 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 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 the 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
Nuveen Investments | 29 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction,” with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate certificates issued by the trust as “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” the entire earnings of the underlying bond and related interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as a component of “Interest expense on floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Operations.
During the six months ended January 31, 2011, the Fund did not invest in self-deposited inverse floaters.
The 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 the 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, the Fund’s potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse floaters may increase beyond the value of the Fund’s inverse floater investments as the Fund may potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the floating rate certificates. At period end, any such shortfall is recognized as “Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. At January 31, 2011, the Fund’s maximum exposure to externally-deposited Recourse Trusts was $16,615,000.
Zero Coupon Securities
The Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
Custodian Fee Credit
The Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on which the Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.
Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2. Fair Value Measurements
In determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments, various inputs are used. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. | |
Level 2 – | Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). | |
Level 3 – | Significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the Fund’s fair value measurements as of January 31, 2011:
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||||||||||
Investments: | ||||||||||||||||
Municipal Bonds | $ | — | $ | 145,321,891 | $ | — | $ | 145,321,891 | ||||||||

Total | $ | — | $ | 146,324,701 | $ | — | $ | 146,324,701 |
During the period ended January 31, 2011, the Fund recognized no significant transfers to/from Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.
3. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Fund records derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes. The Fund did not invest in derivative instruments during the six months ended January 31, 2011.

5. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales (including maturities but excluding short-term investments) during the six months ended January 31, 2011, aggregated $34,851,684 and $17,323,120, respectively.
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 and timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. 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 value of the Fund.
At January 31, 2011, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Cost of investments | $ | 150,922,711 | ||
Gross unrealized: | ||||
Appreciation | $ | 1,724,941 | ||
Depreciation | (6,322,951 | ) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $ | (4,598,010 | ) |
Permanent differences, primarily due to federal taxes paid, taxable market discount and distribution character reclassifications, resulted in reclassifications among the Fund’s components of net assets at July 31, 2010, the Fund’s last tax year-end, as follows:
Capital paid-in | $ | 3,314 | ||

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Adviser does not charge any investment advisory or administrative fees directly to the Fund. The Adviser has agreed irrevocably during the existence of the Fund to waive all fees and pay or reimburse all expenses of the Fund (excluding interest expense, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities, and extraordinary expenses). The Adviser is compensated for its services to the Fund from the fee charged at the separately managed account level.
At January 31, 2011, Nuveen owned 10,000 shares of the Fund.

Board Approval of Sub-Advisory Arrangement (Unaudited)
At a meeting held on May 25-26, 2010 (the “May Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board,” and each Trustee, a “Board Member”) of the Fund, including a majority of the Board Members who are not parties to the advisory agreements or “interested persons” of any parties (the “Independent Board Members”), considered and approved the advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Fund and Nuveen Asset Management (“NAM”). Since the May Meeting, Nuveen has engaged in an internal restructuring (the “Restructuring”) pursuant to which the portfolio management services provided by NAM to the Fund were transferred to Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“NAM LLC”), a newly-organized wholly-owned subsidiary of NAM and NAM changed its name to Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (“NFA”). NAM, under its new name NFA, continues to serve as investment adviser to the Fund and, in that capacity, will continue to provide various oversight, administrative, compliance and other services. To effectuate the foregoing, NFA entered into a sub-advisory agreement with NAM LLC on behalf of the Fund (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”). Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, NAM LLC, subject to the oversight of NFA and the Board, will furnish an investment program, make investment decisions for, and place all orders for the purchase and sale of securities for the portion of the Fund’s investment portfolio allocated to it by NFA. NFA and NAM LLC do not anticipate any reduction in the nature or level of services provided to the Fund following the Restructuring. The personnel of NFA who engaged in portfolio management activities prior to the spinoff of NAM LLC are not expected to materially change as a result of the spinoff. In addition, the Independent Board Members recognized at the May Meeting that the Fund, which is sold via separately managed accounts, does not pay a management fee, and this has not changed. In light of the foregoing, at a meeting held on November 16-18, 2010, the Board Members, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, approved the Sub-Advisory Agreement on behalf of the Fund. Given that the Restructuring was not expected to reduce the level or nature of services provided or change the fee arrangement of the Fund, the factors considered and determinations made at the May Meeting in approving the Advisory Agreement were equally applicable to the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. For a discussion of these considerations, please see the shareholder report of the Fund that was first issued after the May Meeting for the period including May 2010.

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.
Average Effective Maturity: The market-value-weighted average of the effective maturity dates of the individual securities including cash. In the case of a bond that has been advance-refunded to a call date, the effective maturity is the date on which the bond is scheduled to be redeemed using the proceeds of an escrow account. In most other cases the effective maturity is the stated maturity date of the security.
Average Duration: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bond’s principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond’s (or bond fund’s) value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond or Fund’s duration, the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as interest rates change.
Dividend Yield (also known as Market Yield or Current Yield): An investment’s current annualized dividend divided by its current offering price.
Net Asset Value (NAV): A Fund’s NAV is the dollar value of one share in the Fund. It is calculated by subtracting the liabilities of the Fund from its total assets and then dividing the remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day.
Pre-Refunding: Pre-refunding, also known as advance refunding or refinancing, occurs 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.
SEC 30-Day Yield: 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.
Taxable-Equivalent Yield: The yield necessary from a fully taxable investment to equal, on an after-tax basis at a specified assumed tax rate, the yield of a municipal bond investment.
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.

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

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

The forward-looking statements and other views expressed herein are those of the portfolio manager as of the date of this report. Actual future results or occurrences may differ significantly from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements and the views expressed herein are subject to change at any time, due to numerous market and other factors. The Portfolio disclaims any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or views expressed herein.
Any reference to credit ratings for portfolio holdings denotes the highest rating assigned by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO) such as Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s or Fitch. AAA, AA, A and BBB ratings are investment grade; BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D ratings are below investment grade. Holdings and ratings may change over time.
The Portfolio was developed exclusively for use within Nuveen-sponsored separately managed accounts. The Portfolio enables certain Nuveen separately managed account investors to achieve greater diversification and return potential than otherwise might be achievable.
The Portfolio is managed by Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, an affiliate of Nuveen Investments, Inc. Timothy Palmer, CFA serves as manager for the Portfolio. Here Tim, who has more than 25 years of industry experience, discusses the investment strategies and the performance of the Portfolio for the six-month period ended January 31, 2011.
How did the Portfolio perform during the six-month period ended January 31, 2011?
The table on page six provides performance information for the Portfolio for the six-month, one-year and since inception periods ended January 31, 2011. The table also compares the Portfolio’s performance to an index.
What are the Portfolio’s investment strategies and how were they applied during the six-month period ended January 31, 2011? How did these strategies influence performance?
Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its assets in fixed-income securities, including U.S. Treasury and agency bonds, asset backed securities, U.S. agency mortgage backed securities, commercial mortgage backed securities, U.S. investment grade corporate debt securities, U.S. high yield corporate debt securities, U.S. dollar-denominated non-U.S. government bonds, non-U.S. dollar non-U.S. government bonds, emerging market debt, futures, options, interest rate derivatives, currency forwards total return swaps, credit default swaps, and other short-term securities or instruments.
The Portfolio outperformed its comparative index for the six-month period ended January 31, 2011.
During the reporting period, the Portfolio was positioned with a longer duration and an overweight to U.S. interest rates. Volatility remained pervasive based on fears of a slowing domestic and global economy. In particular, the third quarter of 2010 saw a rally in bonds, both in the U.S. and internationally. In developed markets, investors sought out the safety of fixed income, although emerging markets bonds ultimately were pressured by the market concerns regarding global growth and inflation expectations. Nonetheless, investor flows continued to be supportive of sovereign fixed income markets. Central bank activity was divided with several banks beginning or continuing their normalization cycle and other central banks continuing to cut rates and look to additional easing measures.

Cognizant of the fragility of the financial system, in the fall of 2010 the Federal Reserve announced a second round of quantitative easing designed to help stimulate increased economic growth. Coupled with quantitative easing came signs of stronger global growth and higher inflation expectations. This led to a large sell-off in fixed-rate securities globally. The Portfolio’s longer duration detracted from performance compared with its benchmark for the reporting period.
Additional stimulus from the Fed and an improvement in economic conditions globally during the period helped drive strong performance for the non-government sectors of the U.S. bond market, especially corporate issues. The Portfolio’s positioning in corporate bonds and mortgages added to performance. In particular, our high yield exposure benefited performance, both due to the yield advantage of these positions as well as price gains from a narrowing of the risk premium for the sector. Also, from a currency standpoint, our long positions in Brazil, Mexico and South Africa contributed positively to performance. This performance was somewhat offset by our short positions in lower yielding developed countries including Japanese yen, the euro and the Swiss franc. From an interest rate standpoint, the Portfolio’s short exposure to interest rates in Czech Republic and Sweden aided performance throughout the period, helping to offset some of the negative impact from the general rise in global rates during the period.
During the six-month reporting period, the Portfolio was invested in various derivative instruments. The Portfolio was invested in credit default swap index positions that earn spread income in exchange for taking the credit default risk of broad investment grade and high yield credit default swap indices.
The Portfolio was invested in forward foreign exchange contracts in a variety of currencies, with settlements ranging from 1 to 3 months. Some of these contracts are positioned to benefit if the foreign currencies in the contracts strengthen with respect to the US dollar, while others are positioned to benefit if the foreign currencies weaken with respect to the U.S. dollar, based on analysis indicating whether currencies were relatively high or low compared to future expectations.
The Portfolio was invested in interest rate swap contracts in a variety of currencies, with maturities ranging from 3 to 10 years, some positioned to benefit if rates rise, others positioned to benefit if rates fall in the underlying country, based on analysis indicating whether rates were relatively high or low compared to future expectations.
The Portfolio was invested in 2 month U.S. Treasury note and bond futures contracts designed to benefit if interest rates at the 10 year point of the yield curve rose more than rates at the two and thirty year points.

Risk Considerations
An investment in the Fund is subject to market risk or the risk that the value of bonds in the portfolio will decline; credit risk, or the risk that an issuer of a bond will be unable to make interest and principal payments when due; and interest rate risk, the risk that interest rates will rise, causing bond prices to fall. The value of the Fund’s mortgage-related securities can fall if the owners of the underlying mortgages pay off their mortgages sooner than expected, which could happen when interest rates fall; and later than expected, which could happen when interest rates rise. The Fund’s potential investments in non-U.S. securities present additional risks such as adverse political, currency, social or regulatory developments in a country. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. The risk of volatility is heightened for the portfolio due to the use of alternative investments or complex investment strategies.

As a shareholder of the Fund, 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. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the period.
The information under “Actual Performance,” together with the amount you invested, allows you to estimate actual expenses incurred over the reporting period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the cost shown for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Incurred During Period” to estimate the expenses incurred on your account during this period.
The information under “Hypothetical Performance,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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.
Actual Performance | Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses) | |||||||||||

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio of 0.00% for the six-month period.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
General Information
The Nuveen Managed Accounts Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trust is comprised of Enhanced Multi-Strategy Income Managed Accounts Portfolio (“Enhanced Multi-Strategy Income”) (the “Fund”), among others. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on November 14, 2006.
Effective January 1, 2011, the Fund’s adviser Nuveen Asset Management, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”) has changed its name to Nuveen Fund Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser”). Concurrently, the Adviser formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, to house its portfolio management capabilities. Nuveen Asset Management, LLC now serves as the Fund’s sub-adviser, and the Fund’s portfolio manager has become an employee of Nuveen Asset Management, LLC.
The Fund is developed exclusively for use within Nuveen-sponsored separately managed accounts. The Fund is a specialized Fund to be used in combination with selected individual securities to effectively model institutional-level investment strategies. Certain securities in which the Fund invest are highly speculative. The Fund enables certain Nuveen-sponsored separately managed account investors to achieve greater diversification and return potential than smaller managed accounts might otherwise achieve by using lower quality, higher yielding securities and to gain access to special investment opportunities normally available only to institutional investors.
The Fund’s primary investment objective is total return, with current income as a secondary objective. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in fixed income securities. The Fund will invest in various types of debt securities, including U.S. Treasury and U.S. agency bonds, U.S. investment grade corporate debt securities, U.S. high yield corporate debt securities, U.S. dollar-denominated non-U.S. government bonds, non-U.S. dollar non-U.S. government bonds, emerging market debt, futures contracts, options, interest rate derivatives, currency forwards, total return swaps, credit default swaps, and other short-term securities. In addition, the Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in mortgage-backed securities, including U.S. agency mortgage backed securities and commercial mortgage backed securities. The Fund may also engage in repurchase, reverse repurchase, dollar rolls and forward purchase agreements (these investments will generally be short-term in nature and are primarily used to seek to enhance total return and manage liquidity).
In investing in non-U.S. dollar instruments, the Adviser may elect to hedge the currency exposure through the use of currency forward contracts, futures, and other hedging instruments, including, but not limited to, options, interest rate and total return swaps, and similar instruments.
The Fund may invest up to 50% of its net assets in securities that are rated below investment grade or securities that are unrated but deemed by the Adviser to be of equivalent quality, which includes U.S. and non-U.S. high yield corporate bonds and securities. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in the debt of non-U.S. issuers, including up to 25% of its net assets in obligations of non-U.S. entities that are located in emerging markets. These limits apply only at the time of any specific new investments.
The Adviser expects the average credit quality of the Fund to be rated between A and AA. Under normal market conditions, the Adviser expects the Fund to maintain an intermediate term average duration, which will generally fall within four to seven years.
The Fund may use a variety of investment techniques to seek to hedge or help protect against declines in portfolio value due to its exposure to interest rate movements, movements in the securities markets and non-U.S. currency exposure. These techniques include the use of derivative instruments, such as interest rate swap transactions, futures contracts, options on futures and non-U.S. exchange transactions on a cash or forward basis, and credit default swaps.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
Significant Accounting Policies
Investment Valuation
Prices of fixed-income securities, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and credit default and interest rate swaps are provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. These securities are generally classified as Level 2. Prices of fixed-income securities are based on the mean between the bid and asked price. When price quotes are not readily available for fixed income securities, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and credit default and interest rate swaps, 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.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the net asset value of the Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation

to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the New York Stock Exchange is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.
The value of exchange-traded options are based on the mean of the bid and ask prices. Futures contracts are valued using the closing settlement price. Exchange-traded options and futures contracts are generally classified as Level 1. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are valued using market implied volatilities and are generally classified as Level 2.
Repurchase agreements are valued at contract amount plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. These securities 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 Fund’s 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 the 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 Fund’s Board of Trustees or its designee.
Refer to Footnote 2 – Fair Value Measurements for further details on the leveling of securities held by the Fund as of the end of the reporting period.
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Fund has instructed the custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At January 31, 2011, the Fund had outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments of $2,203,750.
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 includes paydown gains and losses, if any.
Income Taxes
The 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.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund declares dividends from net investment income daily and pays 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 Fund’s 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 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.
Dollar Roll Transactions
The Fund is authorized to enter into dollar roll transactions (“dollar rolls”) in which the Fund purchases or sells mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) for delivery in the future and simultaneously contracts to sell or repurchase a substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) MBS on a different specified future date. Dollar rolls are identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “MDR”,
Nuveen Investments | 25 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
when applicable. During the roll period, the Fund foregoes principal and interest paid on the MBS. The Fund is compensated by fee income or the difference between the current sales price and the lower forward price for the future purchase. Such compensation is amortized over the life of the dollar rolls and is recognized as a component of “Investment Income” on the Statement of Operations. Dollar rolls are valued daily. The Fund entered into dollar roll transactions during the six months ended January 31, 2011.
Dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the MBS the Fund is obligated to repurchase under an agreement may decline below the repurchase price. These transactions also involve some risk to the Fund if the other party should default on its obligation and the Fund is delayed or prevented from completing the transaction. In the event that the buyer of securities under a dollar roll files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of proceeds of the dollar roll may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The Fund is authorized to engage in foreign currency exchange transactions, including foreign currency forwards, futures, options and swap contracts. To the extent that the Fund invests in securities and/or contracts that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Fund will be subject to currency risk, which is the risk that an increase in the U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currency will reduce returns or portfolio value. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Fund’s investments denominated in that currency will lose value because its currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. dollar falls in relative value. Investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars on a spot (i.e. cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market at the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and income denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.
The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Investments, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date of the transactions, foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Fund and the amounts actually received.
The realized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in foreign exchange rates associated with other assets and liabilities on investments, forward foreign exchange contracts, options written, swaps, and swaptions written are recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from investments and foreign currency” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.
The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in foreign exchange rates associated with other assets and liabilities on investments are recognized as a component of “Change of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investments and foreign currency” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates associated with forward foreign currency exchange contracts, options written, swaps and swaptions written are recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (deprecation) of forward foreign currency exchange contracts, options written, swaps and swaptions written, respectively,” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and is authorized to enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in an attempt to manage such risk under two circumstances: (i) when the Fund enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency to “lock in” the U.S. exchange rate of the transaction, with such period being a short-dated contract covering the period between transaction date and settlement date; or (ii) when the Adviser believes that the currency of a particular foreign country may experience a substantial movement against the U.S. dollar or against another foreign currency. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily at the forward rate and are recognized as a component of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The change in value of the contracts during the fiscal period is recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of forward foreign currency exchange contracts” on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or offset with the same counterparty, the Fund recognizes the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was entered and the value at the time it was closed or offset as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from forward foreign currency exchange contracts” on the Statement of Operations.
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts will generally not be entered into for terms greater than three months, but may have maturities of up to six months or more. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Fund’s investment securities; however, it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted. A forward foreign currency exchange contract would limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of a particular currency; however, it also would limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase instead of decrease. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Forward foreign currency contracts are subject to counterparty risk if the counterparty fails to perform as specified in the contract due to financial impairment or other reason.
26 | Nuveen Investments |
During the six months ended January 31, 2011, the Fund was invested in forward foreign currency exchange contracts in a variety of currencies, with settlements ranging from one to three months. Some of these contracts are positioned to benefit if the foreign currencies in the contracts strengthen with respect to the U.S. dollar, while others are positioned to benefit if the foreign currencies weaken with respect to the U.S. dollar, based on analysis indicating whether currencies were relatively high or low compared to future expectations.
The average number of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding during the six months ended January 31, 2011, was as follows:
Average number of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding* | 14 |
* | The average number of outstanding contracts is calculated based on the outstanding contracts at the beginning of the fiscal year and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal year. |
Refer to Footnote 3 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for further details on forward foreign currency exchange contract activity.
Futures Contracts
The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and is authorized to invest in futures contracts in attempt to manage such risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or liquid securities equal to a specified percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the “initial margin.” Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts, if any, is recognized as “Deposits with brokers for open futures contracts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation of the value of the contract. Variation margin is recognized as a receivable or payable for “Variation margin on futures contracts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.
During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss by “marking-to-market” on a daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract and is recognized as “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts” on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or expired, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract on the closing date and value of the contract when originally entered into and is recognized as “Net realized gain (loss) from futures contracts” on the Statement of Operations.
Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement of the securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that there may not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts and/or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with a change in the value of the underlying securities or indices.
During the six months ended January 31, 2011, the Fund was invested in two-month U.S. Treasury note and bond futures contracts designed to benefit if interest rates at the ten year point of the yield curve rose more than rates at the two and thirty year points.
The average number of futures contracts outstanding during the six months ended January 31, 2011, was as follows:
Average number of futures contracts outstanding* | 17 |
* | The average number of outstanding contracts is calculated based on the outstanding contracts at the beginning of the fiscal year and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal year. |
Refer to Footnote 3 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for further details on futures contract activity.
Options Transactions
The Fund is subject to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and is authorized to purchase and write (sell) call and put options on securities, futures, swaps (“swaptions”) or currencies in an attempt to manage such risk. The purchase of options and/or swaptions involves the risk of loss of all or a part of the cash paid for the options (the premium). The market risk associated with purchasing options and/or swaptions is limited to the premium paid. The counterparty credit risk of purchasing options and/or swaptions, however, needs also to take into account the current value of the option, as this is the performance expected from the counterparty. When the Fund purchases an option and/or swaption, an amount equal to the premium paid (the premium plus commission) is recognized as a component of “Options and/or Swaptions purchased, at value” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the Fund writes an option and/or swaption, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recognized as a component of “Options and/or Swaptions written, at value” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current value of the written option and/or swaption until the option and/or swaption is exercised or expires or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction. The changes in the value of options and/or swaptions purchased during the fiscal period are recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Options and/or Swaptions purchased” on the Statement of Operations. The changes in the value of options and/or swaptions written during the fiscal period are recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Options and/or Swaptions written” on the Statement of Operations. When an option and/or swaption is exercised or expires or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the difference between the net premium received and any amount paid at expiration or on executing a closing purchase transaction, including commission, is recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from Options and/or Swaptions purchased and/or written” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund, as a writer of an option and/or swaption has no control over whether the underlying instrument may be sold (called) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the instrument underlying the written option and/or swaption. There is

also the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. The Fund did not purchase or write options or swaptions during the six months ended January 31, 2011.
Swap Contracts
The Fund is authorized to enter into swap contracts consistent with its investment objectives and policies to reduce increase or otherwise alter its risk profile or to alter its portfolio characteristics (i.e. duration, yield curve positioning and credit quality).
The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and policies in an attempt to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Fund had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. In connection with these contracts, securities in the Fund’s portfolio of investments may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap contract. Interest rate swap contracts involve the exchange by the Fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest (i.e., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a specified notional amount of principal). Interest rate swap contracts are valued daily. The Fund accrues daily the periodic payments expected to be paid and received on each interest rate swap contract and recognize the daily change in the market value of the Fund’s contractual rights and obligations under the contracts. The net amount recorded on these transactions for each counterparty is recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a component of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on interest rate swaps” with the change during the fiscal period recognized on the Statement of Operations as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of swaps” on the Statement of Operations. Income received or paid by the Fund is recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from swaps” on the Statement of Operations, in addition to the net realized gains and losses recognized upon the termination of a interest rate swap contract and are equal to the difference between the Fund’s basis in the interest rate swap and the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction. The amount of the payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the interest rate swap contract. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are recognized as a component of “Interest rate swap premiums paid and/or received” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For tax purposes, periodic payments are treated as ordinary income or expense.
During the six months ended January 31, 2011, the Fund was invested in interest rate swap contracts in a variety of currencies, with maturities ranging from three to ten years, some positioned to benefit if rates rise, others positioned to benefit if rates fall in the underlying country, based on analysis indicating whether rates were relatively high or low compared to future expectations.
The average number of interest rate swap contracts outstanding during the six months ended January 31, 2011, was as follows:
Average number of interest rate swap contracts outstanding* | 16 |
* | The average number of outstanding contracts is calculated based on the outstanding contracts at the beginning of the fiscal year and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal year. |
The Fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The 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 recognized with the daily change in the market value of the contract as a component of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on credit default swaps” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is recorded as a realized loss upon payment. 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. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are recognized as a component of “Credit default swap premiums paid and/or received” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As a seller of a credit default swap contract, the Fund generally receives from the counterparty a periodic interest fee based on the notional amount of the credit default swap. This interest fee is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation or depreciation and is recorded as a realized gain upon payment. 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. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Fund could incur as a seller 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 January 31, 2011, the Fund was invested in credit default swap index positions that earn spread income in exchange for taking the credit default risk of broad investment grade and high yield credit default swap indices.
28 | Nuveen Investments |
The average notional amount of credit default swap contracts outstanding during the six months ended January 31, 2011, was as follows:
Average notional amount of credit default swap contracts outstanding* | $ | 3,365,333 |
* | The average notional amount is calculated based on the outstanding notional at the beginning of the fiscal year and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal year. |
Refer to Footnote 3 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for further details on swap contract activity.
Market and Counterparty Credit Risk
In the normal course of business the 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 the Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of the 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 the Fund to minimal counterparty credit risk as they are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearing house, which is counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.
The 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 the Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when the Fund has an unrealized loss, the Fund has instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Fund 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
The 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.
Repurchase Agreements
In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Fund’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the counterparty defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral may be delayed or limited.
Custodian Fee Credit
The Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on each Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on which a Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.
Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2. Fair Value Measurements
In determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments, various inputs are used. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. | |
Level 2 – | Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). | |
Level 3 – | Significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |

3. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Fund records derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes. For additional information on the derivative instruments in which the Fund was invested during and at the end of the reporting period, refer to the Portfolio of Investments, Financial Statements and Footnote 1 – General Information and Significant Accounting Policies.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
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 the treatment of foreign currency transaction gains and losses, amortization of premium and timing and character differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. 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 value of the Fund.
At January 31, 2011, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments (excluding investments in derivatives), as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Cost of investments | $ | 7,390,482 | ||
Gross unrealized: | ||||
Appreciation | 299,955 | |||
Depreciation | (5,858 | ) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $ | 294,097 |
Permanent differences, primarily due to federal taxes paid, net operating losses, return of capital distributions, treatment of notional principal contracts and foreign currency reclassifications resulted in reclassifications among the Fund’s components of net assets at July 31, 2010, the Fund’s last tax year-end, as follows:
Capital paid-in | $ | (2,457 | ) | |
Undistributed (Over–distribution of) net investment income | 48,592 | |||
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | (46,135 | ) |
The tax components of undistributed net ordinary income and net long-term capital gains at July 31, 2010, the Fund’s last tax year end, were as follows:
Undistributed net ordinary income* | $ | 243,179 | ||
Undistributed net long-term capital gains | 322,950 |
* | Undistributed net ordinary income (on a tax basis) has not been reduced for the dividend declared during the period July 1, 2010 through July 31, 2010 and paid on August 2, 2010. Net ordinary income consists of net taxable income derived from dividends, interest, and net short-term capital gains, if any. |
The tax character of distributions paid during the Fund’s last tax year ended July 31, 2010, was designated for purposes of the dividends paid deduction as follows:
Distributions from net ordinary income* | $ | 522,477 | ||
Distributions from net long-term capital gains | — | |||
Return of capital | — |
* | Net ordinary income consists of net taxable income derived from dividends, interest, and net short-term capital gains, if any. |
The Fund has elected to defer net realized losses from investments incurred from November 1, 2009 through July 31, 2010, the Fund’s last tax year end, (“post-October losses”) in accordance with federal income tax regulations. The following post-October losses are treated as having arisen on the first day of the current fiscal year:
Post-October currency losses | $ | 7,893 |
7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Adviser does not charge any investment advisory or administrative fees directly to the Fund. The Adviser has also agreed irrevocably during the existence of the Fund to waive all fees and pay or reimburse all expenses of the Fund (other than interest expense, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of investment portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses). The Adviser is compensated for its services to the Fund from the fee charged at the separately managed account level.
At January 31, 2011, Nuveen owned 500,000 shares of the Fund.

Board Approval of Sub-Advisory Arrangement (Unaudited )
At a meeting held on May 25-26, 2010 (the “May Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board,” and each Trustee, a “Board Member”) of the Fund, including a majority of the Board Members who are not parties to the advisory agreements or “interested persons” of any parties (the “Independent Board Members”), considered and approved the advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Fund and Nuveen Asset Management (“NAM”). Since the May Meeting, Nuveen has engaged in an internal restructuring (the “Restructuring”) pursuant to which the portfolio management services provided by NAM to the Fund were transferred to Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“NAM LLC”), a newly-organized wholly-owned subsidiary of NAM and NAM changed its name to Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (“NFA”). NAM, under its new name NFA, continues to serve as investment adviser to the Fund and, in that capacity, will continue to provide various oversight, administrative, compliance and other services. To effectuate the foregoing, NFA entered into a sub-advisory agreement with NAM LLC on behalf of the Fund (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”). Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, NAM LLC, subject to the oversight of NFA and the Board, will furnish an investment program, make investment decisions for, and place all orders for the purchase and sale of securities for the portion of the Fund’s investment portfolio allocated to it by NFA. NFA and NAM LLC do not anticipate any reduction in the nature or level of services provided to the Fund following the Restructuring. The personnel of NFA who engaged in portfolio management activities prior to the spinoff of NAM LLC are not expected to materially change as a result of the spinoff. In addition, the Independent Board Members recognized at the May Meeting that the Fund, which is sold via separately managed accounts, does not pay a management fee, and this has not changed. In light of the foregoing, at a meeting held on November 16-18, 2010, the Board Members, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, approved the Sub-Advisory Agreement on behalf of the Fund. Given that the Restructuring was not expected to reduce the level or nature of services provided or change the fee arrangement of the Fund, the factors considered and determinations made at the May Meeting in approving the Advisory Agreement were equally applicable to the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. For a discussion of these considerations, please see the shareholder report of the Fund that was first issued after the May Meeting for the period including May 2010.

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report
Auction Rate Bond: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond. Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for sale are deemed to have “failed,” with current holders receiving a formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction.
Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly used method to express an investment’s performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investment’s actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or offer price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered.
Average Effective Maturity: The market-value-weighted average of the effective maturity dates of the individual securities including cash. In the case of a bond that has been advance-refunded to a call date, the effective maturity is the date on which the bond is scheduled to be redeemed using the proceeds of an escrow account. In most other cases the effective maturity is the stated maturity date of the security.
Average Duration: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bond’s principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond’s (or bond fund’s) value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond or Fund’s duration, the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as interest rates change.
Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs): Collateralized debt obligations are a type of asset-backed security constructed from a portfolio of fixed-income assets. CDOs usually are divided into different tranches having different ratings and paying different interest rates. Losses, if any, are applied in reverse order of seniority and so junior tranches generally offer higher coupons to compensate for added default risk.
Dividend Yield (also known as Market Yield or Current Yield): An investment’s current annualized dividend divided by its current offering price.
Net Asset Value (NAV): A Fund’s NAV is the dollar value of one share in the Fund. It is calculated by subtracting the liabilities of the Fund from its total assets and then dividing the remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day.
SEC 30-Day Yield: A standardized measure of a Fund’s yield that accounts for the future amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts of bonds held in the Fund’s portfolio.
