Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
These are perplexing times for investors. The global economy continues to struggle. The solutions being implemented in the eurozone to deal with the debt crises of many of its member countries are not yet seen as sufficient by the financial markets. The political paralysis in the U.S. has prevented the compromises necessary to deal with the fiscal imbalance and government spending priorities. The efforts by individual consumers, governments and financial institutions to reduce their debts are increasing savings but reducing demand for the goods and services that drive employment. These developments are undermining the rebuilding of confidence by consumers, corporations and investors that is so essential to a resumption of economic growth.
Although it is painfully slow, progress is being made. In Europe, the turnover of a number of national governments reflects the realization by politicians and voters alike that leaders who practiced business as usual had to be replaced by leaders willing to face problems and accept the hard choices needed to resolve them. The recent coordinated efforts by central banks in the U.S. and Europe to provide liquidity to the largest European banks indicates that these monetary authorities are committed to facilitating a recovery in the European banking sector.
In the U.S., the failure of the congressionally appointed Debt Reduction Committee was a blow to those who hoped for a bipartisan effort to finally begin addressing the looming fiscal crisis. Nevertheless, Congress and the administration cannot ignore the issue for long. The Bush era tax cuts are scheduled to expire on December 31, 2012, and six months later the $1.2 trillion of mandatory across-the-board spending cuts under the Budget Control Act of 2011 begin to go into effect. Any legislative modification would require bipartisan support and the prospects for a bipartisan solution are unclear. The impact of these two developments would be a mixed blessing: a meaningful reduction in the annual budget deficit at the cost of slowing the economic recovery.
It is in these particularly volatile markets that professional investment management is most important. Skillful investment teams who have experienced challenging markets and remain committed to their investment disciplines are critical to the success of an investor’s long-term objectives. In fact, many long-term investment track records are built during challenging markets when managers are able to protect investors against these economic crosscurrents. Experienced investment teams know that volatile markets put a premium on companies and investment ideas that will weather the short-term volatility and that compelling values and opportunities are opened up when markets overreact to negative developments. By maintaining appropriate time horizons, diversification and relying on practiced investment teams, we believe that investors can achieve their long-term investment objectives.
As always, I encourage you to 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

How did the Funds perform during the six-month period ended November 30, 2011?
The tables in the Fund Performance and Expense Ratios section of this report provide total return performance information for the six-month, one-year, five-year, ten-year and since inception periods ending November 30, 2011. Each Fund’s Class A Share total returns at net asset value (NAV) are compared with the performance of the appropriate Barclays Capital municipal bond index and Lipper classification average.
What strategies were used to manage the Funds during the six-month reporting period? How did these strategies influence performance?
All of the Funds continued to employ the same fundamental investment strategies and tactics used in the past, although our ability to implement those strategies depended on the individual characteristics of the portfolios, as well as market conditions within each state. Going into the reporting period, we were generally comfortable with the Funds’ positioning and saw little need to make large-scale shifts to weightings.

Nuveen Colorado Tax Free Fund
The Fund’s Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) outpaced both the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index and the Lipper Colorado Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average for the six-month period.
The municipal bond market rallied for much of the period, benefiting from falling Treasury rates as investors shifted away from riskier asset classes. Adding support to the market were the still-depressed supply levels as well as the low number of defaults, which contradicted predictions by some analysts and media pundits. For the six months ended November 30, 2011, national municipal issuance was down 17% compared with the same period in 2010, while issuance declined 51% in Colorado during the same period. As interest rates fell meaningfully during the period, the municipal yield curve flattened with yields on seven-year and longer maturity bonds declining the most. Yields at the short end of the curve (zero to five years) also fell during the period, but by less than longer maturity bonds. As a result, all points along the yield curve produced positive returns for the period, with longer maturities performing the best.
The Fund produced strong returns in the falling interest rate environment, benefiting the most from its yield curve positioning versus the Barclays Capital benchmark. As the yield curve flattened, Fund results were aided by a general overweighting in longer maturity bonds, which performed well. An underweight to securities with maturities shorter than five years was also positive as these bonds had relatively small returns.
The Fund’s credit quality breakdown also helped performance during the period. While all of the Fund’s rating categories produced positive returns, the lower rated bonds outperformed their higher rated counterparts. The Fund particularly benefited from an overweight position in the BBB-rated segment. Additionally, the Fund’s underweight stance in AAA-rated bonds was helpful as this rating category was generally the weakest performer for the period.
While sector weights did not meaningfully impact performance during the period, select bonds in a few sectors experienced relative weakness. Several charter school and appropriation-related bonds didn’t keep up with the market as credit spreads widened for some of the bonds in these sectors.
During the reporting period, we sold a number of bonds with short maturities or short call features, which helped to lower the Fund’s reinvestment risk. We also tactically sold several longer maturity holdings from the charter school and appropriation sectors. Our goal with tactical sales was to take advantage of strong bids from investors in the secondary market who were looking for bonds with specific structures or characteristics.
We also made a few purchases for the Fund, focusing on a variety of bonds with maturities longer than fifteen years. We found several attractive opportunities in metropolitan district general obligation (GO) bonds, which are typically issued to finance infrastructure improvements in certain Colorado political subdivisions, including a non-rated bond from the Winter Farm Metropolitan District and an A-rated bond from the Meridian Metropolitan District. For an example higher up the credit spectrum, we purchased an AA-rated hospital bond from Catholic Health Initiatives.

We maintained the Fund’s longer duration, or price sensitivity to interest-rate movements, versus its benchmark during this time frame. At the end of the period, the Fund was overweighted in bonds with longer maturities and underweighted in bonds with maturities less than five years. We also maintained the Fund’s same basic ratings breakdown with an overweight to BBB-rated bonds and a slight overweight to non-rated bonds. We have historically emphasized mid-quality bonds because of the beneficial income attributes and manageable credit risk we believe these positions represent. Meanwhile, we continued to underweight AAA-rated bonds, which are typically somewhat scarce in the state of Colorado. We also continued to maintain a diversified portfolio on a sector basis with the most significant overweights found in health care and the education sector (which includes both charter schools and higher education bonds).
Nuveen Minnesota Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund
The Fund’s Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) outpaced both the Barclays Capital 1-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index and the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average for the six-month period.
The municipal bond market rallied for much of the period, benefiting from falling Treasury rates as investors shifted away from riskier asset classes. Adding support to the market were the still-depressed supply levels as well as the low number of defaults, which contradicted predictions by some analysts and media pundits. For the six months ended November 30, 2011, national municipal issuance was down 17% compared with the same period in 2010 (new issuance in Minnesota was down 25% year-to-date through November). Also within the period, two ratings agencies — Standard & Poor’s and Fitch — downgraded Minnesota’s credit rating from AAA to AA+ citing the state’s lack of rainy day funds and continued reliance on short-term fixes, which fail to address longer-term structural budget deficits.
As interest rates fell meaningfully during the period, the municipal yield curve flattened with yields on seven-year and longer maturity bonds declining the most. Yields at the short end of the curve, zero to five years, also fell during the period, but by less than longer maturity bonds. As a result, all points along the yield curve produced positive returns for the period, with longer maturities performing the best. In addition, nearly all municipal market sectors and investment-grade rating categories produced positive returns over this time frame.
The Fund’s credit quality breakdown was a significant contributor to its outperformance during the period. While all of the Fund’s rating categories produced positive returns, lower rated bonds generally outperformed their higher rated counterparts. In this respect, the Fund particularly benefited from an overweight position in A-rated bonds. While many of the Fund’s AAA-rated bonds performed well, the Fund’s underweight stance in that rating category was generally helpful as these credits were typically weaker performers in the marketplace.
In the falling rate environment described above, the Fund’s yield curve positioning relative to its Barclays Capital benchmark and peers also benefited performance. As the curve flattened, results were aided by the Fund’s overweighting in six- to ten-year bonds, which performed well. An underweight to bonds with very short maturities of less than five
Nuveen Investments | 7 |
years was also a positive as these bonds had relatively smaller returns. In comparison, the bonds in the Fund’s Barclays Capital benchmark have maturities spread out fairly evenly between one and seventeen years.
In terms of sector breakdown, performance was enhanced by the Fund’s typical overweight in health care, an area that outperformed the index. Other sector weightings had less meaningful impacts on results during the period.
Despite the limited availability of Minnesota bonds during the period, we were able to make a few purchases of intermediate to longer maturity bonds in the ten- to twenty-year range. The purchases we made in the Fund were fairly diversified from a ratings and sector standpoint. For example, we found several compelling opportunities in the housing revenue sector, including AAA-rated bonds from the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency and AA-rated bonds from the Dakota County Community Development Agency. We also purchased an A-rated airport revenue refunding bond from the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Airports Commission. In addition, we bought a position in Minnesota’s first issuance of tobacco securitization bonds (rated by A- by Standard & Poor’s and BBB+ by Fitch). These bonds are funded by the revenue stream paid to the state from tobacco companies as part of a 1998 lawsuit settlement.
To fund the purchases, we sold a number of bonds that had a short time to maturity or short call features. With these sales, we lowered some of the portfolio’s call risk. We did not make any tactical sales of the Fund’s longer maturity bonds during the period.
We kept the Fund’s duration, or price sensitivity to interest-rate movements, longer than its benchmark throughout this time frame. At period end, the Fund was overweighted in bonds with six- to ten-year maturities and underweighted in bonds with very short maturities. We also maintained the Fund’s same basic ratings profile with an overweight in A, BBB and non-rated bonds. We have historically emphasized these mid-quality bonds because of the beneficial income attributes and manageable credit risk we believe the positions represent. Meanwhile, we continued to underweight AAA-rated and AA-rated bonds. On a sector basis, we maintained a highly diversified portfolio with the most significant overweights being in the hospital and higher education sectors.
Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Bond Fund
The Fund’s Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) outpaced both the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index and the Lipper Minnesota Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average for the six-month period.
The municipal bond market rallied for much of the period, benefiting from falling Treasury rates as investors shifted away from riskier asset classes. Adding support to the market were the still-depressed supply levels as well as the low number of defaults, which contradicted predictions by some analysts and media pundits. For the six months ended November 30, 2011, national municipal issuance was down 17% compared with the same period in 2010. Although municipal bond supply at the national level began to increase during the period, issuance of Minnesota bonds continued to be scarce. State issuance was down 25% for the year to date through November, making it even more difficult than usual to find bonds for the Fund. Also within the period, two ratings agencies —Standard & Poor’s and Fitch — downgraded Minnesota’s credit rating from AAA to AA+

citing the state’s lack of rainy day funds and continued reliance on short-term fixes, which fail to address longer-term structural budget deficits.
As interest rates fell meaningfully during the period, the municipal yield curve flattened with yields on seven-year and longer maturity bonds declining the most. Yields at the short end of the curve, zero to five years, also fell during the period, but by less than longer maturity bonds. As a result, all points along the yield curve produced positive returns for the period as prices rose across the board, with the longest maturities increasing the most. In addition, all municipal market sectors and rating categories produced positive returns over this time frame.
The Fund’s longer duration, or price sensitivity to interest rates movements, was the biggest positive influence on performance relative to its Barclays Capital benchmark and peers in this environment. We were well positioned with this longer duration coming into the period as the lack of available bonds within the state would not have allowed us to meaningfully change duration during the period. As the yield curve flattened, the Fund benefited from its overweighting in holdings at the longer end of the spectrum, specifically bonds with maturities of twelve years and beyond. While bonds with maturities under twelve years also had a positive impact on performance, the effect was not as pronounced due to the Fund’s underweight in those maturities.
The Fund’s credit quality breakdown also contributed significantly to performance during the period. As mentioned above, all of the Fund’s rating categories produced positive returns during the six-month period; however, the lower rated bonds outperformed their higher rated counterparts. Therefore, the Fund’s results were aided by our significantly overweight positions in the lower categories, including non-rated and BBB-rated bonds. A slight overweight to A-rated bonds was also beneficial. The Fund had underweight positions in AAA-rated and AA-rated bonds, which produced relatively small returns for the period.
Results were mixed in terms of individual security selection and sector positioning and did not contribute significantly to performance during the period. Positive impacts from the corporate-backed, education and health care sectors were offset by weakness in the special tax and electric utilities sectors.
Despite the limited availability of Minnesota bonds during the period, we were able to make a few purchases of longer maturity bonds in the twenty- to thirty-year range. These purchases were primarily mid-quality bonds from a mixture of revenue sectors that included airports, higher education and health care. We also bought a position in Minnesota’s first issuance of tobacco securitization bonds (rated by A- by Standard & Poor’s and BBB+ by Fitch). These bonds are funded by the revenue stream paid to the state from tobacco companies as part of a 1998 lawsuit settlement. As a result of these purchases, we increased the Fund’s emphasis on BBB-rated bonds from approximately 15% to 18% of net assets during the period. As has historically been the case, we continued to overweight mid-grade rating categories due to the beneficial income attributes and manageable credit risk we believe these positions represent. We also reduced AAA holdings from approximately 8% to 4%.
Nuveen Investments | 9 |
To fund these purchases, we liquidated several positions in higher quality, intermediate maturity (eight- to nine-year) bonds from the general obligation (GO) sector and various revenue sectors. Also, we engaged in tactical sales from the Fund as opportunities arose. With these tactical trades, we sell holdings that we can obtain full prices for and replace them with bonds that we believe have more attractive long-term values. These transactions typically took place with investors who were looking for bonds with certain types of structures or characteristics and were willing to pay us full prices for bonds that we owned.
As a result of the purchases, the Fund’s overweight in longer maturities of more than twenty years was somewhat more pronounced than it was in the previous reporting period. The balance of the portfolio finished the period relatively equally weighted in maturities across the eight- to twenty-year range. As mentioned earlier, the Fund’s duration and average maturity were basically unchanged by these moves.
Nuveen Missouri Tax Free Fund
The Fund’s Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) outpaced both the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index and the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average for the six-month period.
The municipal bond market rallied for much of the period, benefiting from falling Treasury rates as investors shifted away from riskier asset classes. Adding support to the market were the still-depressed supply levels as well as the low number of defaults, which contradicted predictions by some analysts and media pundits. For the six months ended November 30, 2011, national municipal issuance was down 17% compared with the same period in 2010, while issuance declined 10% in Missouri during the same period. As interest rates fell meaningfully during the period, the municipal yield curve flattened with yields on seven-year and longer maturity bonds declining the most. Yields at the short end of the curve, zero to five years, also fell during the period, but by less than longer maturity bonds. As a result, all points along the yield curve produced positive returns for the period, with the longest maturities performing the best.
The Fund’s credit quality breakdown was the most significant positive contributor to performance during the period. While all of the Fund’s rating categories produced positive returns, the lower rated bonds generally outperformed their higher rated counterparts. The Fund particularly benefited from an overweight position in the BBB-rated segment. Overweights in non-rated and A-rated bonds were also slight positives. Additionally, the Fund’s underweight stance in both AAA-rated and AA-rated bonds was helpful as these credits were weaker performers for the period.
In the falling rate environment described above, the Fund’s yield curve positioning relative to its Barclays Capital benchmark also benefited performance. As the yield curve flattened, results were aided by the Fund’s general overweighting in longer intermediate and longer maturity bonds, which performed well. An underweight to securities with maturities shorter than five years was also beneficial as they showed relatively lower returns.
Results were mixed in terms of sector weights and individual security selection. Performance was enhanced by the Fund’s typical overweight in the health care sector, an area that outperformed the index during the period. However, a few select industrial
10 | Nuveen Investments |
development bonds in the corporate-backed sector underperformed. Also, several appropriation bonds modestly underperformed as a result of a surge in new-issue supply in that subcategory of the tax-backed sector toward the end of the six months.
Although municipal bond issuance in the state of Missouri was down nearly 50% year-to-date through November, the pace of issuance began to rebound somewhat during the six-month reporting period. We took advantage of the variety of issues coming to market and purchased a number of bonds with fifteen-year and longer maturities across the high- to mid-quality spectrum. Sectors where we found opportunities included: health care (both hospitals and continuing care retirement communities), higher education, utilities and tax-backed. For example, we bought two A-rated hospital deals: Capital Region Medical Center bonds in Jefferson City and St. Luke’s Episcopal-Presbyterian Hospital bonds in St. Louis. We also purchased several higher education offerings including AAA-rated bonds from Washington University and A-rated bonds from Webster University and A.T. Still University.
To fund these purchases, we used the proceeds from called bonds and also sold a number of bonds that had a short time to maturity or short call features. With these sales, we removed some of the call and reinvestment risk from the portfolio. We also made a tactical sale of one of the Fund’s longer maturity, “bank-qualified” bonds. This market segment was trading at very strong prices during the period as banks sought the advantageous tax benefits of owning these bonds.
We maintained the Fund’s longer duration, or price sensitivity to interest-rate movements, versus its benchmark during this time frame. At the end of the period, the Fund was overweighted in bonds with intermediate and longer maturities and underweight in bonds at the short end of the yield curve. We also maintained the Fund’s same basic ratings breakdown with overweights to mid-quality (A and BBB-rated) and non-rated bonds and underweights to AAA and AA-rated bonds. We have historically emphasized mid-quality bonds because of the beneficial income attributes and manageable credit risk we believe these positions represent. We also continued to underweight state GOs in favor of sectors such as health care where the incremental yield is more attractive.
Nuveen Nebraska Municipal Bond Fund
The Fund’s Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) underperformed the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index and outpaced the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average for the six-month period.
The municipal bond market rallied for much of the period, benefiting from falling Treasury rates as investors shifted away from riskier asset classes. Adding support to the market were the still-depressed supply levels as well as the low number of defaults, which contradicted predictions by some analysts and media pundits. For the six months ended November 30, 2011, national municipal issuance was down 17% compared with the same period in 2010. As interest rates fell meaningfully during the period, the municipal yield curve flattened with yields on seven-year and longer maturity bonds declining the most. Yields at the short end of the curve, zero to five years, also fell during the period, but by less than longer maturity bonds. As a result, all points along the yield curve produced
Nuveen Investments | 11 |
positive returns for the period as prices rose across the board, with the longest maturities increasing the most. In addition, all municipal market sectors and rating categories produced positive returns over this time frame.
The Fund’s longer duration, or price sensitivity to interest rates movements, was the biggest positive influence on performance relative to its Barclays Capital benchmark and peers in this environment. We started the period with a shorter duration than the benchmark because the extremely low supply of Nebraska bonds earlier in the year had prevented us from lengthening. However, as the supply of Nebraska bonds began to increase during this six-month period, we were able to continually extend the Fund’s duration to end with a longer stance than the benchmark. With the flattening of the yield curve, the Fund benefited from its overweighting in holdings at the longer end of the spectrum, specifically bonds with maturities of twelve years and beyond. While bonds with maturities under twelve years also had a positive impact on performance, the effect was not as pronounced due to the Fund’s underweight in those maturities.
The Fund’s credit quality breakdown also benefited performance during the period. As mentioned above, all of the Fund’s rating categories produced positive returns during the six-month period; however, lower rated bonds outperformed their higher rated counterparts. Specifically, the Fund’s results were aided by our significantly overweight position in non-rated bonds. An overweight in A-rated bonds was also beneficial. The Fund had underweight positions in AAA-rated and AA-rated bonds, which produced relatively small returns for the period.
Offsetting the positive contributions from duration and credit quality were negative results from sector positioning and individual security selection. For example, sector overweights and security selection in electric revenue and education were negative relative contributors during the period. Small positive impacts from the health care and corporate-backed sectors were not enough to offset the weakness.
During the reporting period, we were able to make a number of purchases in longer maturity bonds (twenty- to thirty-year range). Not only did the Fund’s duration lengthen with these moves as mentioned, but its average maturity also increased by about three-and-a-half years. As a result of these purchases, the Fund’s overweight in longer maturities of more than twenty years is now more pronounced than it was in the previous reporting period.
The purchases we made were a mixture of general obligation (GO) and revenue bonds from both the high- and mid-quality credit categories. Early in the period when supply was scarcer, we purchased some BBB-rated, Puerto Rico GO bonds for the Fund. These territorial bonds are triple tax exempt from federal, state and local taxes, and can be advantageous to use as a placeholder when we have difficulty finding in-state bonds. Because rates kept falling throughout the period, these Puerto Rico GOs continued to look attractive from a yield standpoint. As the period progressed, we were able to find other compelling Nebraska-issued opportunities in the higher education and health care sectors.
To fund these purchases, we liquidated several positions in higher quality, shorter maturity (four- to five-year) bonds and bonds from the GO, public power and higher education sectors. We also used the proceeds from bonds that were called during the period.
12 | Nuveen Investments |
As a result of the purchases and sales, the Fund’s credit quality breakdown shifted somewhat during the period. For example, exposure to BBB-rated bonds increased from approximately 3% to 9% of the Fund’s net assets. This change was mainly the result of the Puerto Rico purchase since BBB bonds are not issued very often in Nebraska. The Fund’s AAA exposure also increased from approximately 11% to 13%. Meanwhile, the Fund’s AA weighting decreased from approximately 38% to 33% and its non-rated position fell from 13% to 11% during the period. Its A-rated exposure did not meaningfully change during the period.
Nuveen Ohio Tax Free Fund
The Fund’s Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) trailed the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index and outpaced the Lipper Ohio Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average for the six-month period.
The municipal bond market rallied for much of the period, benefiting from falling Treasury rates as investors shifted away from riskier asset classes. Adding support to the market were the still-depressed supply levels as well as the low number of defaults, which contradicted predictions by some analysts and media pundits. For the six months ended November 30, 2011, national municipal issuance was down 17% compared with the same period in 2010, while issuance declined 35% in Ohio during the same period. Although municipal bond supply at the national level began to increase during the period, issuance of Ohio bonds continued to be scarce. State issuance was down 35% for the six-month period versus the same time frame last year and nearly 50% year-to-date 2011, making it more difficult than usual to find bonds for the Fund.
As interest rates fell meaningfully during the period, the municipal yield curve flattened with yields on seven-year and longer maturity bonds declining the most. Yields at the short end of the curve, zero to five years, also fell during the period, but by less than longer maturity bonds. As a result, all points along the yield curve produced positive returns for the period as prices rose across the board, with the longest maturities increasing the most.
In this environment, the Fund’s performance benefited the most from its longer duration, or price sensitivity to interest rate movements, relative to its Barclays Capital benchmark and peers. We were well positioned with this longer duration coming into the period as the lack of available bonds within the state would not have allowed us to meaningfully change it during the period. As the yield curve flattened, the Fund benefited from its overweighting in holdings at the longer end of the spectrum. While bonds with shorter maturities had a positive impact on performance, the effect was not as pronounced due to the Fund’s underweight in those maturities.
The Fund’s credit quality breakdown also benefited performance during the period. While most of the Fund’s rating categories produced positive returns during the six-month period, the lower rated bonds outperformed their higher rated counterparts. Therefore, the Fund’s results were aided by its overweight positions in the lower categories, particularly the top-performing BBB-rated segment. Likewise, the Fund’s underweight position in AAA-rated bonds was beneficial as these credits were the weakest performers with relatively small returns for the period.

Results were mixed in terms of sector positioning and individual security selection, contributing to the Fund’s shortfall versus the Barclays Capital benchmark. For example, performance was enhanced by the Fund’s typical overweight in health care as this sector outperformed the index during the period. However, these positive results were offset by an overweight in the underperforming housing sector and negative individual security selection. In terms of security selection, the detractors were generally the Fund’s higher quality, shorter maturity holdings.
Because of the limited supply of Ohio bonds during the period, we made most of our Fund purchases in the secondary market and participated in only a few new-issue deals. The general theme of most of our trading activity was a shift out of shorter and intermediate-term bonds in favor of longer maturity securities primarily in the mid-tier credit quality categories (BBB and A). Our purchases were a mixture of general obligation (GO) bonds and revenue bonds from a variety of sectors including: water and sewer, higher education, health care, airports and dedicated tax. With supply being somewhat scarce, we also purchased an A-rated GO bond from the territory of Guam. Territorial bonds are generally triple tax exempt from federal, state and local taxes, and can be advantageous to use as a placeholder when we have difficulty finding in-state bonds. To fund these purchases, we used the proceeds from a number of called bonds and also sold one pre-refunded bond and one AA-rated bond. In addition, we swapped out of some of the Fund’s Buckeye Tobacco bonds in the intermediate maturity range in exchange for shorter and longer term tobacco-settlement bonds.
We continued to focus on staying fully invested and did not make enough trades in the Fund to materially impact its sector weights, ratings distributions or duration position. We maintained the Fund’s emphasis on mid-quality bonds, A and BBB-rated, which we have done historically due to the beneficial income attributes and manageable credit risk we believe these positions represent. We also continued to underweight AAA and AA-rated bonds.
Nuveen Oregon Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund
The Fund’s Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) trailed the Barclays Capital 1-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index and outpaced the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average for the six-month period.
The municipal bond market rallied for much of the period, benefiting from falling Treasury rates as investors shifted away from riskier asset classes. Adding support to the market were the still-depressed supply levels as well as the low number of defaults, which contradicted predictions by some analysts and media pundits. For the six months ended November 30, 2011, national municipal issuance was down 17% compared with the same period in 2010. As interest rates fell meaningfully during the period, the municipal yield curve flattened with yields on seven-year and longer maturity bonds declining the most. Yields at the short end of the curve, zero to five years, also fell during the period, but by less than longer maturity bonds. As a result, all points along the yield curve produced positive returns for the period as prices rose across the board, with the longest maturities increasing the most.

In this environment, the Fund’s longer duration, or price sensitivity to interest rate movements, relative to its Barclays Capital benchmark was a positive contributor to performance. As the yield curve flattened, performance was aided by the Fund’s overweighting in holdings in the six- to eight-year portion of the yield curve. An underweight to securities with maturities of four years and shorter was also beneficial. While the Fund was fairly equally weighted in maturities between nine and fourteen years, a lack of exposure to any bonds longer than fourteen years was a slight drag on performance.
The Fund’s credit quality breakdown also benefited results during the period. While all of the Fund’s rating categories produced positive returns during the six-month period, the lower rated bonds outperformed their higher rated counterparts. Therefore, Fund performance was aided by its underweight position in AAA-rated bonds as these credits were the weakest performers with relatively small returns for the period. Likewise, the Fund’s significantly overweight positions in the lower rating categories, particularly the BBB-rated segment, helped performance.
Results were mixed in sector positioning and negative for individual security selection, contributing to the Fund’s shortfall versus the Barclays Capital benchmark. Performance was enhanced by the Fund’s typical overweight in health care and local GOs as these sectors outperformed the index during the period. Local GOs, which dominate issuance in the state of Oregon, bounced back after negative performance in the previous reporting period. However, these positive results were offset by an overweight in the underperforming housing sector and an underweight in the leasing sector, which performed well during the period. Leasing bonds are difficult to find as Oregon does not have a large supply in this sector. Security selection was also a detractor to performance, in part because municipal bonds from the state of Oregon did not perform as well as the national indexes. Also, the Fund’s lack of exposure to non-rated bonds, which was more a function of security selection, detracted slightly during the period.
We sought to maintain the Fund’s longer duration throughout the period and traded bonds accordingly to keep it positioned that way. While the Barclays Capital index is comprised of bonds with maturities spread out fairly evenly between one and seventeen years, the Fund remains underweight in shorter term bonds and overweight at the mid-to-longer end of the intermediate maturity range. Although total issuance in the state of Oregon was down based on the lack of the Build America Bond program in 2011, we began to see an increase in refunding activity as municipalities sought to refinance their debt at extremely low yields. As opportunities arose to buy bonds from within the state, we sold some shorter duration securities from Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Illinois. We sometimes use these advantageous out-of-state positions as placeholders when we have difficulty finding in-state bonds. As a result of these sales, the Fund’s non-Oregon exposure decreased from approximately 4.3% to 3.0% of net assets. The proceeds from the sales of non-Oregon bonds also helped facilitate the slight outflows the Fund continued to experience during the period.
In turn, we were able to make several opportunistic purchases in A-rated credits from the transportation and utilities sectors. New additions to the portfolio included Port of Portland international airport passenger facility charge revenue bonds and Woodburn
Nuveen Investments | 15 |
Oregon wastewater revenue bonds. Despite the recent Port of Portland purchase, the Fund still remained underweight in the transportation sector, mainly because of the lack of availability of these bonds in Oregon. However, the Fund was able to maintain the previously mentioned overweights in the hospital and local GO sectors as well as slightly higher-than-index positions in the education and water/sewer sectors.
In addition to the credit quality weightings mentioned in the performance discussion, the Fund remained slightly overweighted in AA and A-rated bonds and overweighted in BB and lower rated credits. The AA overweight was primarily a function of the state’s high level of AA-rated local GOs resulting from its School Bond Guaranty Program. Oregon’s lower rated school districts can go to the state and have their bonds wrapped by the program, thereby receiving the state’s AA+/Aa1 credit rating.
Risk Considerations
Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Debt or fixed income securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk. The value of, and income generated by debt securities will decrease or increase based on changes in market interest rates. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Credit risk refers to an issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments when due. Credit risk is heightened for below investment grade bonds. A concentration in specific states exposes the Funds to the additional risks facing issuers in those states. The Funds’ potential use of inverse floaters issued in tender option bond (“TOB”) transactions creates effective leverage. Leverage involves greater volatility and increases the funds’ exposure to risk of loss from changes in municipal interest rates.

Each Fund seeks to pay dividends at a rate that reflects the past and projected performance of the Fund. To permit a Fund to maintain a more stable monthly dividend, the Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If the Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it will hold the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund’s net asset value. Conversely, if the Fund has cumulatively paid in dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute negative UNII that will likewise be reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. Each Fund will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of November 30, 2011, all seven Funds had positive UNII balances, based upon our best estimate, for tax purposes and positive UNII balances for financial reporting purposes.

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

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

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

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
General Information
Nuveen Investment Funds, Inc. (the “Trust”), is an open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trust is comprised of the Nuveen Colorado Tax Free Fund (“Colorado Tax Free”), Nuveen Minnesota Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund (“Minnesota Intermediate”), Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Bond Fund (“Minnesota”), Nuveen Missouri Tax Free Fund (“Missouri Tax Free”), Nuveen Nebraska Municipal Bond Fund (“Nebraska”), Nuveen Ohio Tax Free Fund (“Ohio Tax Free”) and Nuveen Oregon Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund (“Oregon Intermediate”), (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), among others. The Trust was incorporated in the State of Maryland on August 20, 1987.
The investment objective of each Fund is to provide maximum current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and its respective state income tax to the extent consistent with prudent investment risk.
Under normal market conditions, as a fundamental policy, each Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal securities that pay interest that is exempt from federal and its respective state income tax, including the federal and state alternative minimum tax. Each Fund normally may invest up to 20% of its net assets in taxable obligations, including obligations the interest on which is subject to the federal and state, where applicable, alternative minimum tax.
Each Fund’s most recent prospectus provides further descriptions of each Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks.
During the prior fiscal period, the Funds’ Board of Directors approved a change in the Funds’ fiscal and tax year ends from June 30 to May 31.
Fund Reorganizations
The Board of Directors of Colorado Tax Free, Missouri Tax Free and Ohio Tax Free have approved the reorganizations of each Fund (each an “Acquired Fund” and collectively, the “Acquired Funds”) into Nuveen Colorado Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund, respectively (each an “Acquiring Fund” and collectively, the “Acquiring Funds”). The reorganizations are subject to approval by the shareholders of each of the Acquired Funds. For the reorganizations, upon shareholder approval, the Acquired Funds will transfer all of their assets and liabilities to their Acquiring Fund in exchange for their Acquiring Fund shares of equal value. These Acquiring Fund shares will then be distributed to the shareholders of the Acquired Funds and the Acquired Funds will be terminated. As a result of the reorganizations, shareholders of each Acquired Fund will become shareholders of their Acquiring Fund. The shareholders of the Acquired Funds will receive their Acquiring Fund shares with a total value equal to the total value of their Acquired Fund shares immediately prior to the closing of the reorganization.
A special meeting for the shareholders of each Acquired Fund is expected to be held during February 2012, for the purpose of voting on the reorganizations. If the required shareholder approvals are obtained on the meeting date, it is anticipated that each reorganization will be consummated shortly after its special shareholder meeting.
Further information regarding the proposed reorganizations of the Acquired Funds is contained in proxy materials that were sent to those who were shareholders of the Acquired Funds on or about January 17, 2012.
Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
Investment Valuation
Prices of municipal bonds are provided by a pricing service approved by the Funds’ Board of Directors. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 for fair value measurement purposes. When price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal bonds) the pricing service establishes a security’s fair value using methods that may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer, or market activity provided by Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”). These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs.
Investments in open-end funds are valued at their respective net asset values on the valuation date. These investment vehicles are generally classified as Level 1. Futures contracts are valued using the closing settlement price or, in the absence of such a price, the last traded price. Futures contracts are generally classified as Level 1.
Certain securities may not be able to be priced by the pre-established pricing methods as described above. Such securities may be valued by the Funds’ Board of Directors or its designee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to,
96 | Nuveen Investments |
restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; debt securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market quotation; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of a Fund’s net asset value (as may be the case in non-U.S. markets on which the security is primarily traded) or make it difficult or impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as provided by the pricing service, is not deemed to reflect the security’s fair value. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Funds’ Board of Directors or its designee.
Refer to Footnote 2 – Fair Value Measurements for further details on the leveling of securities held by the Funds as of the end of the reporting period.
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the specific identification method, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Investments purchased on a when-issued/ delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At November 30, 2011, Minnesota Intermediate, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Ohio had outstanding when issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments of $1,080,147, $270,295, $760,804, $1,250,767 and $370,844, respectively. There were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the other Funds.
Investment Income
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and includes accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income also reflects pay down gains and losses, if any.
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and designated state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
The Funds declare dividends from their net investment income daily and pay shareholders monthly. Fund shares begin to accrue dividends on the business day after the day when the monies used to purchase Fund shares are collected by the Funds’ transfer agent.
Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Flexible Sales Charge Program
Class A Shares are generally sold with an up-front sales charge and incur a .20% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class A Share purchases of $1 million or more are sold at net asset value without an up-front sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase. Class C Shares are sold without an up-front sales charge but incur a .55% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a .20% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class C1 Shares of the Funds (except Oregon Intermediate which does not offer Class C1 Shares) are not available for new accounts or for additional investment into existing accounts, but Class C1 Shares can be issued for purposes of dividend reinvestment. Class C1 Shares are sold without an up-front sales charge but
Nuveen Investments | 97 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
incur a .40% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a .25% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class C Shares and Class C1 Shares are subject to a CDSC of 1% if redeemed within twelve months of purchase. Class I Shares are not subject to any sales charge or 12b-1 distribution or service fees.
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. In turn, this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in face amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, that typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties, and (b) issues to a long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) that represents all remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received by the inverse floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the inverse floater holder bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. The price of an inverse floating rate security will be more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates, and because the inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of loss of the greater face value of the underlying bond.
A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an “externally-deposited inverse floater”), or instead by first selling a fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a “self-deposited inverse floater”). The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (a) to cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to tender their notes at par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate bond held by the trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust. An investment in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(IF) – Inverse floating rate investment.” An investment in a self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction. In such instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(UB) – Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction,” with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate certificates issued by the trust as “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” the entire earnings of the underlying bond and recognizes the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as “Interest expense on floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Operations.
During the six months ended November 30, 2011, the Funds did not invest in externally-deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.
Futures Contracts
Each 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 an attempt to manage such risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, a 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 a Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation of the value of the contract. Variation margin is recognized as a receivable and/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 recognized as an unrealized gain or loss by “marking-to-market” on a daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract, which is recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts” on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or expired, a 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, which is recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from futures contracts” on the Statement of Operations.
Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement in the price 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 November 30, 2011, the Funds did not invest in futures contracts.
Market and Counterparty Credit Risk
In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts, when applicable, expose a Fund to minimal counterparty credit risk as they are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, which is counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.
98 | Nuveen Investments |
Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount.
Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on each Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on which a Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.
Zero Coupon Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
Multiclass Operations and Allocations
Income and expenses of the Funds that are not directly attributable to a specific class of shares are prorated among the classes based on the relative settled shares of each class. Expenses directly attributable to a class of shares, which presently only include 12b-1 distribution fees and shareholder service fees, are recorded to the specific class.
Income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Funds are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class.
Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. | |
Level 2 – | Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). | |
Level 3 – | Significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund’s fair value measurements as of November 30, 2011:

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 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 values of the Funds.
At November 30, 2011, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund’s management fee consists of two components – a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within each individual Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables Fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
The annual fund-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:
Average Daily Net Assets | Colorado Tax Free Fund-Level Fee Rate | Minnesota | Minnesota | Missouri Tax Free Fund-Level Fee Rate | ||||||||||||
For the first $125 million | .4500 | % | .3500 | % | .3500 | % | .4500 | % | ||||||||
For the next $125 million | .4375 | .3375 | .3375 | .4375 | ||||||||||||
For the next $250 million | .4250 | .3250 | .3250 | .4250 | ||||||||||||
For the next $500 million | .4125 | .3125 | .3125 | .4125 | ||||||||||||
For the next $1 billion | .4000 | .3000 | .3000 | .4000 | ||||||||||||
For net assets over $2 billion | .3750 | .2750 | .2750 | .3750 |
Nuveen Investments | 105 |

For net assets over $2 billion | .2750 | .3750 | .2750 |
The annual complex-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is determined by taking the complex-level fee rate, which is based on the aggregate amount of “eligible assets” of all Nuveen funds as set forth in the schedule below, and making, as appropriate, an upward adjustment to that rate based upon the percentage of the particular fund’s assets that are not “eligible assets.” The complex-level fee schedule for each Fund is as follows:
Complex-Level Asset Breakpoint Level* | Effective Rate at Breakpoint Level | |||
$55 billion | .2000 | % | ||
$56 billion | .1996 | |||
$57 billion | .1989 | |||
$60 billion | .1961 | |||
$63 billion | .1931 | |||
$66 billion | .1900 | |||
$71 billion | .1851 | |||
$76 billion | .1806 | |||
$80 billion | .1773 | |||
$91 billion | .1691 | |||
$125 billion | .1599 | |||
$200 billion | .1505 | |||
$250 billion | .1469 | |||
$300 billion | .1445 |
* | The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily “eligible assets” of all Nuveen Funds. Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen Funds or assets in excess of $2 billion added to the Nuveen Fund complex in connection with Nuveen Fund Advisors’ assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011. Eligible assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes the closed-end funds’ use of preferred stock and borrowings and investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by the TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining eligible assets in certain circumstances. |
As of November 30, 2011, the complex-level fee rate for each Fund was as follows:
Fund | Complex-Level Fee Rate | |||
Colorado Tax Free | .1989 | % | ||
Minnesota Intermediate | .1967 | |||
Minnesota | .1967 | |||
Missouri Tax Free | .1960 | |||
Nebraska | .1953 | |||
Ohio Tax Free | .2000 | |||
Oregon Intermediate | .1978 |
The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Adviser is responsible for each Fund’s overall strategy and asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolios of the Funds. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.
The Advisors has contractually agreed to reimburse Class A Share 12b-1 fees through March 31, 2012, to the extent necessary so that total annual Fund operating expenses, after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements and excluding acquired Fund fees and expenses, do not exceed 0.75% for Class A Shares of Minnesota Intermediate and 0.85% for Class A Shares of each of Minnesota, Missouri Tax Free and Oregon. In addition, Nuveen Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”) has contractually agreed to limit its Class A Share 12b-1 fees for Minnesota Intermediate to 0.15% of average daily net assets through March 31, 2012.
The Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of each Fund so that total annual Fund operating expenses (excluding acquired Fund fees and expenses), do not exceed the average daily net assets of any class of Fund shares in the amounts and for the time periods stated in the following table.

The Adviser may also voluntarily reimburse expenses from time to time in the Fund. Voluntary reimbursements may be terminated at any time at the Adviser’s discretion.
The Trust pays no compensation directly to those of its directors who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Directors has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent directors that enable directors to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen-advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen-advised funds.
During the six months ended November 30, 2011, the Distributor collected sales charges on purchases of Class A Shares, the majority of which were paid out as concessions to financial intermediaries as follows:

8. New Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
On May 12, 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 (“ASU No. 2011-04”) modifying Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. At the same time, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”) 13, Fair Value Measurement. The objective of the FASB and IASB is convergence of their guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures. Specifically, ASU No. 2011-04 requires reporting entities to disclose i) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 and the reasons for the transfers and ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a) quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used, b) a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The effective date of the ASU No. 2011-04 is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have on the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.

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.
Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index: An unmanaged index comprised of fixed-rate, investment-grade tax-exempt bonds with remaining maturities of one year or more. The index returns assume reinvestment of dividends but do not reflect any applicable sales charges. You cannot invest directly in an index.
Barclays Capital 1-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index: An unmanaged index comprised of fixed-rate, investment-grade tax-exempt bonds with remaining maturities between 1 and 17 years. The index returns assume reinvestment of dividends but do not reflect any applicable sales charges. You cannot invest directly in an index.
Duration: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bond’s principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond’s (or bond fund’s) value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond or Fund’s duration, the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as interest rates change.
Inverse Floating Rate Securities: Inverse floating rate securities, also known as inverse floaters or tender option bonds (TOBs), are created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a) issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) to an investor (such as a Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the inverse floater varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the holder of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis.
Lipper Colorado Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Represents the average annualized total return for all reporting funds in the Lipper Colorado Municipal Debt Funds Classification. The Lipper Colorado Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average contained 18, 18, 16 and 16 funds for the 6-month, 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods, respectively, ended November 30, 2011. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of dividends, but do not reflect any applicable sales charge. The Lipper average is not available for direct investment.
Lipper Minnesota Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Represents the average annualized total return for all reporting funds in the Lipper Minnesota Municipal Debt Funds Classification. The Lipper Minnesota Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average contained 41, 40, 36 and 30 funds for the 6-month, 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods, respectively, ended November 30, 2011. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of dividends, but do not reflect any applicable sales charge. The Lipper average is not available for direct investment.
Lipper Ohio Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Represents the average annualized total return for all reporting funds in the Lipper Ohio Municipal Debt Funds Classification. The Lipper Ohio Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average contained 37, 37, 33 and 25 funds for the 6-month, 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods, respectively, ended November 30, 2011. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of dividends, but do not reflect any applicable sales charge. The Lipper average is not available for direct investment.
Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Represents the average annualized total return for all reporting funds in the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification. The Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average contained 113, 111, 105 and 89 funds for the 6-month, 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods, respectively, ended November 30, 2011. Shareholders should note that the performance of the Lipper Other States Intermediate Debt Funds Classification Average represents the overall average of returns for funds from ten different states with a wide variety of municipal market conditions, making direct comparisons less meaningful. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of dividends, but do not reflect any applicable sales charge. The Lipper average is not available for direct investment.
Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Represents the average annualized total return for all reporting funds in the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification. The Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average contained 144, 139, 126 and 116 funds for the 6-month, 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods, respectively, ended November 30, 2011. Shareholders should note that the performance of the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average represents the overall average of returns for funds from ten different states with a wide variety of municipal market conditions, making direct comparisons less meaningful. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of dividends, but do not reflect any applicable sales charge. The Lipper average is not available for direct investment.
Net Asset Value (NAV): The net market value of all securities held in a portfolio.
Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: The market value of one share of a mutual fund or closed-end fund. For a Fund, the NAV is calculated daily by taking the Fund’s total assets (securities, cash, and accrued earnings), subtracting the Funds’s liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding.
Pre-Refundings: Pre-Refundings, also known as advance refundings or refinancings, occur when an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and interest payments of older existing bonds. This process often results in lower borrowing costs for bond issuers.
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.
