Performance Highlights • The Nuveen Minnesota Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund returned 2.27% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) for the 12 months ended May 31, 2024.

During his tenure there, he actively participated in creating, and ultimately led, the firm’s midwestern mutual fund practice.
Item 4. | Principal Accountant Fees and Services. |
The following tables show the amount of fees that PricewaterhouseCoopers, the Funds’ auditor, billed to the Funds during the Funds’ last two full fiscal years. The Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that PricewaterhouseCoopers provided to the Funds, except for those non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the “pre-approval exception”). The pre-approval exception for services provided directly to the Funds waives the pre-approval requirement for services other than audit, review or attest services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Funds during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Funds did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee’s attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the audit is completed.
The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its Chair (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).

Basis
for
Opinions
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Funds’
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Funds’
financial
statements
based
on
our
audits.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(PCAOB)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Funds
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audits
of
these
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
audits
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
May
31,
2024
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian
and
brokers;
when
replies
were
not
received
from
the
brokers,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinions.

Significant
Accounting
Policies
The
accompanying
financial
statements
were
prepared
in
accordance
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
(“U.S.
GAAP”),
which
may
require
the
use
of
estimates
made
by
management
and
the
evaluation
of
subsequent
events.
Actual
results
may
differ
from
those
estimates.
Each
Fund
is
an
investment
company
and
follows
accounting
guidance
in
the
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
(“FASB”)
Accounting
Standards
Codification
946,
Financial
Services
—
Investment
Companies.
The
NAV
for
financial
reporting
purposes
may
differ
from
the
NAV
for
processing
security
and shareholder
transactions.
The
NAV
for
financial
reporting
purposes
includes
security
and
common
share
transactions
through
the
date
of
the
report.
Total
return
is
computed
based
on
the
NAV
used
for
processing
security
and
common
share
transactions.
The
following
is
a
summary
of
the
significant
accounting
policies
consistently
followed
by
the
Funds.
Compensation:
The
Trust
pays
no
compensation
directly
to
those
of its
officers,
all
of
whom
receive
remuneration
for
their
services
to
the
Trust
from
the
Adviser
or
its
affiliates.
The
Funds’
Board
of Directors
(the
"Board")
has
adopted
a
deferred
compensation
plan
for
independent directors that
enables 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.
Custodian
Fee
Credit:
As
an
alternative
to
overnight
investments,
each
Fund
has
an
arrangement
with
its
custodian
bank,
State
Street
Bank
and
Trust
Company,
(the
“Custodian”)
whereby
certain
custodian
fees
and
expenses
are
reduced
by
net
credits
earned
on
each
Fund’s
cash
on
deposit
with
the
bank.
Credits
for
cash
balances
may
be
offset
by
charges
for
any
days
on
which
a
Fund
overdraws
its
account
at
the
Custodian.
The
amount
of
custodian
fee
credit
earned
by
a
Fund
is
recognized
on
the
Statement
of
Operations
as
a
component
of
“Custodian
expenses,
net.”
During
the
current
reporting
period,
the
custodian
fee
credit
earned
by
each
Fund
was
as
follows:
Distributions
to
Shareholders:
Distributions
to
shareholders
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
The
amount,
character
and
timing
of
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.
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.

Investments
and
Investment
Income:
Securities
transactions
are
accounted
for
as
of
the
trade
date
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Realized
gains
and
losses
on
securities
transactions
are
based
upon
the
specific
identification
method.
Investment
income
is
comprised
of
interest
income,
which
is
recorded
on
an
accrual
basis
and
includes
accretion
of
discounts
and
amortization
of
premiums
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Investment
income
also
reflects
payment-in-kind
(
“
PIK
”
)
interest
and
paydown
gains
and
losses,
if
any.
PIK
interest
represents
income
received
in
the
form
of
securities
in
lieu
of
cash.
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
net
assets
of
each
class.
Expenses
directly
attributable
to
a
class
of
shares
are
recorded
to
the
specific
class.
12b-1
distribution
and
service
fees
are
allocated
on
a
class-specific
basis.
Realized
and
unrealized
capital
gains
and
losses
of
the
Funds
are
prorated
among
the
classes
based
on
the
relative
net
assets
of
each
class.
Netting
Agreements:
In
the
ordinary
course
of
business,
the
Funds
may
enter
into
transactions
subject
to
enforceable International
Swaps
and
Derivatives
Association,
Inc.
(ISDA)
master
agreements
or
other
similar
arrangements
(“netting
agreements”).
Generally,
the
right
to
offset
in
netting
agreements
allows
each
Fund
to
offset
certain
securities
and
derivatives
with
a
specific
counterparty,
when
applicable,
as
well
as
any
collateral
received
or
delivered
to
that
counterparty
based
on
the
terms
of
the
agreements.
Generally,
each
Fund
manages
its
cash
collateral
and
securities
collateral
on
a
counterparty
basis.
With
respect
to
certain
counterparties,
in
accordance
with
the
terms
of
the
netting
agreements,
collateral
posted
to
the
Funds
is
held
in
a
segregated
account
by
the
Funds’
custodian
and/or
with
respect
to
those
amounts
which
can
be
sold
or
repledged,
are
presented
in
the
Funds’
Portfolio
of
Investments
or
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
The
Funds’
investments
subject
to
netting
agreements
as
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
if
any,
are
further
described
later
in
these
Notes
to
Financial
Statements.
3.
Investment
Valuation
and
Fair
Value
Measurements
The
Funds’
investments
in
securities
are
recorded
at
their
estimated
fair
value
utilizing
valuation
methods
approved
by
the
Adviser,
subject
to
oversight
of
the Board.
Fair
value
is
defined
as
the
price
that
would
be
received
upon
selling
an
investment
or
transferring
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
to
an
independent
buyer
in
the
principal
or
most
advantageous
market
for
the
investment.
U.S.
GAAP
establishes
the
three-tier
hierarchy
which
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
management’s
assumptions
about
the
assumptions
market
participants
would
use
in
pricing
the
asset
or
liability.
Unobservable
inputs
are
based
on
the
best
information
available
in
the
circumstances.
The
following
is
a
summary
of
the
three-tiered
hierarchy
of
valuation
input
levels.
Level
1
–
Inputs
are
unadjusted
and
prices
are
determined
using
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
securities.
Level
2
–
Prices
are
determined
using
other
significant
observable
inputs
(including
quoted
prices
for
similar
securities,
interest
rates,
credit
spreads,
etc.).
Level
3
–
Prices
are
determined
using
significant
unobservable
inputs
(including
management’s
assumptions
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
investments).
A
description
of
the
valuation
techniques
applied
to
the
Funds’
major
classifications
of
assets
and
liabilities
measured
at
fair
value
follows:
Prices
of
fixed-income
securities
are
generally
provided
by
pricing
services
approved
by
the
Adviser,
which
is
subject
to
review
by
the
Adviser
and
oversight
of
the
Board. Pricing
services
establish
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,
pricing
services
may
consider
information
about
a
security,
its
issuer
or
market
activity
provided
by
the
Adviser.
These
securities
are
generally
classified
as
Level
2.
For
any
portfolio
security
or
derivative
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
or
for
which
the
Adviser
deems
the
valuations
derived
using
the
valuation
procedures
described
above
not
to
reflect
fair
value,
the
Adviser
will
determine
a
fair
value
in
good
faith
using
alternative
procedures
approved
by
the
Adviser,
subject
to
the
oversight
of
the
Board.
As
a
general
principle,
the
fair
value
of
a
security
is
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.
To
the
extent
the
inputs
are
observable
and
timely,
the
values
would
be
classified
as
Level
2;
otherwise
they
would
be
classified
as
Level
3.
The
following
table
summarizes
the
market
value
of
the
Funds’
investments
as
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
based
on
the
inputs
used
to
value
them:
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
(continued)
The
Funds
hold
liabilities
in
floating
rate
obligations,
where
applicable,
which
are
not
reflected
in
the
tables
above.
The
fair
values
of
the
Funds'
liabilities
for
floating
rate
obligations
approximate
their
liquidation
values.
Floating
rate
obligations
are
generally
classified
as
Level
2
and
further
described
in
these
Notes
to
Financial
Statements.
4.
Portfolio
Securities
Inverse
Floating
Rate
Securities:
Each
Fund
is
authorized
to
invest
in
inverse
floating
rate
securities.
An
inverse
floating
rate
security
is
created
by
depositing
a
municipal
bond
(referred
to
as
an
“Underlying
Bond”),
typically
with
a
fixed
interest
rate,
into
a
special
purpose
tender
option
bond
(“TOB”)
trust
(referred
to
as
the
“TOB
Trust”)
created
by
or
at
the
direction
of
one
or
more
Funds.
In
turn,
the
TOB
Trust
issues
(a)
floating
rate
certificates
(referred
to
as
“Floaters”),
in
face
amounts
equal
to
some
fraction
of
the
Underlying
Bond’s
par
amount
or
market
value,
and
(b)
an
inverse
floating
rate
certificate
(referred
to
as
an
“Inverse
Floater”)
that
represents
all
remaining
or
residual
interest
in
the
TOB
Trust.
Floaters
typically
pay
short-term
tax-exempt
interest
rates
to
third
parties
who
are
also
provided
a
right
to
tender
their
certificate
and
receive
its
par
value,
which
may
be
paid
from
the
proceeds
of
a
remarketing
of
the
Floaters,
by
a
loan
to
the
TOB
Trust
from
a
third
party
liquidity
provider
(“Liquidity
Provider”),
or
by
the
sale
of
assets
from
the
TOB
Trust.
The
Inverse
Floater
is
issued
to
a
long
term
investor,
such
as
one
or
more
of
the
Funds.
The
income
received
by
the
Inverse
Floater
holder
varies
inversely
with
the
short-term
rate
paid
to
holders
of
the
Floaters,
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
value
of
an
Inverse
Floater
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
Floaters,
and
because
the
Inverse
Floater
essentially
bears
the
risk
of
loss
(and
possible
gain)
of
the
greater
face
value
of
the
Underlying
Bond.
The
Inverse
Floater
held
by
a
Fund
gives
the
Fund
the
right
to
(a)
cause
the
holders
of
the
Floaters
to
tender
their
certificates
at
par
(or
slightly
more
than
par
in
certain
circumstances),
and
(b)
have
the
trustee
of
the
TOB
Trust
(the
“Trustee”)
transfer
the
Underlying
Bond
held
by
the
TOB
Trust
to
the
Fund,
thereby
collapsing
the
TOB
Trust.
The
Fund
may
acquire
an
Inverse
Floater
in
a
transaction
where
it
(a)
transfers
an
Underlying
Bond
that
it
owns
to
a
TOB
Trust
created
by
a
third
party
or
(b)
transfers
an
Underlying
Bond
that
it
owns,
or
that
it
has
purchased
in
a
secondary
market
transaction
for
the
purpose
of
creating
an
Inverse
Floater,
to
a
TOB
Trust
created
at
its
direction,
and
in
return
receives
the
Inverse
Floater
of
the
TOB
Trust
(referred
to
as
a
“self-deposited
Inverse
Floater”).
A
Fund
may
also
purchase
an
Inverse
Floater
in
a
secondary
market
transaction
from
a
third
party
creator
of
the
TOB
Trust
without
first
owning
the
Underlying
Bond
(referred
to
as
an
“externally-deposited
Inverse
Floater”).
An
investment
in
a
self-deposited
Inverse
Floater
is
accounted
for
as
a
“financing”
transaction
(i.e.,
a
secured
borrowing).
For
a
self-deposited
Inverse
Floater,
the
Underlying
Bond
deposited
into
the
TOB
Trust
is
identified
in
the
Fund’s
Portfolio
of
Investments
as
“(UB)
–
Underlying
bond
of
an
inverse
floating
rate
trust
reflected
as
a
financing
transaction,”
with
the
Fund
recognizing
as
liabilities,
labeled
“Floating
rate
obligations”
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities,
(a)
the
liquidation
value
of
Floaters
issued
by
the
TOB
Trust,
and
(b)
the
amount
of
any
borrowings
by
the
TOB
Trust
from
a
Liquidity
Provider
to
enable
the
TOB
Trust
to
purchase
outstanding
Floaters
in
lieu
of
a
remarketing.
In
addition,
the
Fund
recognizes
in
“Investment
Income”
the
entire
earnings
of
the
Underlying
Bond,
and
recognizes
(a)
the
interest
paid
to
the
holders
of
the
Floaters
or
on

Trust’s
borrowings,
and
(b)
other
expenses
related
to
remarketing,
administration,
trustee,
liquidity
and
other
services
to
a
TOB
Trust,
as
a
component
of
“Interest
expense”
on
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Earnings
due
from
the
Underlying
Bond
and
interest
due
to
the
holders
of
the
Floaters
as
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period
are
recognized
as
components
of
“Receivable
for
interest”
and
“Payable
for
interest”
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities,
respectively.
In
contrast,
an
investment
in
an
externally-deposited
Inverse
Floater
is
accounted
for
as
a
purchase
of
the
Inverse
Floater
and
is
identified
in
the
Fund’s
Portfolio
of
Investments
as
“(IF)
–
Inverse
floating
rate
investment.”
For
an
externally-deposited
Inverse
Floater,
a
Fund’s
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
recognizes
the
Inverse
Floater
and
not
the
Underlying
Bond
as
an
asset,
and
the
Fund
does
not
recognize
the
Floaters,
or
any
related
borrowings
from
a
Liquidity
Provider,
as
a
liability.
Additionally,
the
Fund
reflects
in
“Investment
Income”
only
the
net
amount
of
earnings
on
the
Inverse
Floater
(net
of
the
interest
paid
to
the
holders
of
the
Floaters
or
the
Liquidity
Provider
as
lender,
and
the
expenses
of
the
Trust),
and
does
not
show
the
amount
of
that
interest
paid
or
the
expenses
of
the
TOB
Trust
as
described
above
as
interest
expense
on
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Fees
paid
upon
the
creation
of
a
TOB
Trust
for
self-deposited
Inverse
Floaters
and
externally-deposited
Inverse
Floaters
are
recognized
as
part
of
the
cost
basis
of
the
Inverse
Floater
and
are
capitalized
over
the
term
of
the
TOB
Trust.
During
the
current
fiscal
period,
the
Funds
did
not
have
any
transactions
in
self-deposited
Inverse
Floaters
and/or
externally-deposited
Inverse
Floaters.
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.
Purchases
and
Sales:
Long-term
purchases
and
sales
during
the
current
fiscal
period
were
as
follows:
The
Funds
may
purchase
securities
on
a
when-issued
or
delayed-delivery
basis.
Securities
purchased
on
a
when-issued
or
delayed-delivery
basis
may
have
extended
settlement
periods;
interest
income
is
not
accrued
until
settlement
date.
Any
securities
so
purchased
are
subject
to
market
fluctuation
during
this
period. If
a
Fund
has
outstanding
when-issued/delayed-delivery
purchases
commitments
as
of
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
such
amounts
are
recognized
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
5.
Derivative
Investments
Each
Fund
is
authorized
to
invest
in
certain
derivative
instruments.
As
defined
by
U.S.
GAAP,
a
derivative
is
a
financial
instrument
whose
value
is
derived
from
an
underlying
security
price,
foreign
exchange
rate,
interest
rate,
index
of
prices
or
rates,
or
other
variables.
Investments
in
derivatives
as
of
the
end
of
and/or
during
the
current
fiscal
period,
if
any,
are
included
within
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
and
the
Statement
of
Operations,
respectively.
Market
and
Counterparty
Credit
Risk:
In
the
normal
course
of
business
each
Fund
may
invest
in
financial
instruments
and
enter
into
financial
transactions
where
risk
of
potential
loss
exists
due
to
changes
in
the
market
(market
risk)
or
failure
of
the
other
party
to
the
transaction
to
perform
(counterparty
credit
risk).
The
potential
loss
could
exceed
the
value
of
the
financial
assets
recorded
on
the
financial
statements.
Financial
assets,
which
potentially
expose
each
Fund
to
counterparty
credit
risk,
consist
principally
of
cash
due
from
counterparties
on
forward,
option
and
swap
transactions,
when
applicable.
The
extent
of
each
Fund’s
exposure
to
counterparty
credit
risk
in
respect
to
these
financial
assets
approximates
their
carrying
value
as
recorded
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Each
Fund
helps
manage
counterparty
credit
risk
by
entering
into
agreements
only
with
counterparties
the
Adviser
believes
have
the
financial
resources
to
honor
their
obligations
and
by
having
the
Adviser
monitor
the
financial
stability
of
the
counterparties.
Additionally,
counterparties
may
be
required
to
pledge
collateral
daily
(based
on
the
daily
valuation
of
the
financial
asset)
on
behalf
of
each
Fund
with
a
value
approximately
equal
to
the
amount
of
any
unrealized
gain
above
a
pre-determined
threshold.
Reciprocally,
when
each
Fund
has
an
unrealized
loss,
the
Funds
have
instructed
the
custodian
to
pledge
assets
of
the
Funds
as
collateral
with
a
value
approximately
equal
to
the
amount
of
the
unrealized
loss
above
a
pre-determined
threshold.
Collateral
pledges
are
monitored
and
subsequently
adjusted
if
and
when
the
valuations
fluctuate,
either
up
or
down,
by
at
least
the
pre-determined
threshold
amount.

Income
Tax
Information
Each
Fund
is
a
separate
taxpayer
for
federal
income
tax
purposes.
Each
Fund
intends
to
distribute
substantially
all
of
its
net
investment
income
and
net
capital
gains
to
shareholders
and
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.
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.
Each
Fund
files
income
tax
returns
in
U.S.
federal
and
applicable
state
and
local
jurisdictions.
A
Fund's
federal
income
tax
returns
are
generally
subject
to
examination
for
a
period
of
three
fiscal
years
after
being
filed.
State
and
local
tax
returns
may
be
subject
to
examination
for
an
additional
period
of
time
depending
on
the
jurisdiction.
Management
has
analyzed
each
Fund's
tax
positions
taken
for
all
open
tax
years
and
has
concluded
that
no
provision
for
income
tax
is
required
in
the
Fund's
financial
statements.
Differences
between
amounts
for
financial
statement
and
federal
income
tax
purposes
are
primarily
due
to
timing
differences
in
recognizing
gains
and
losses
on
investment
transactions.
Temporary
differences
do
not
require
reclassification.
As
of
year
end,
permanent
differences
that
resulted
in
reclassifications
among
the
components
of
net
assets
relate
primarily
to
taxable
market
discount.
Temporary
and
permanent
differences
have
no
impact
on
a
Fund's
net
assets.

Each
Fund’s
management
fee
consists
of
two
components
–
a
fund-level
fee,
based
only
on
the
amount
of
assets
within
each
individual
Fund,
and
a
complex-level
fee,
based
on
the
aggregate
amount
of
all
eligible
fund
assets
managed
by
the
Adviser.
This
pricing
structure
enables
each
Fund’s
shareholders
to
benefit
from
growth
in
the
assets
within
their
respective
Fund
as
well
as
from
growth
in
the
amount
of
complex-wide
assets
managed
by
the
Adviser.
Annual
fund-level
fee,
payable
monthly,
for
each
Fund
was
calculated
according
to
the
following
schedule:
For
the
period
June
1,
2023
through
April
30,
2024,
the
annual
complex-level
fee,
payable
monthly,
for
each
Fund
was
calculated
according
to
the
following
schedule:
*
The
complex-level
fee
is
calculated
based
upon
the
aggregate
daily
“eligible
assets”
of
all
Nuveen
open-end
and
closed-end
funds.
Eligible
assets
do
not
include
assets
attributable
to
investments
in

or
assets
in
excess
of
a
determined
amount
(originally
$2
billion)
added

the
Adviser’s
assumption
of
the
management

the
former
First
American

effective
January
1,
2011,
but
do
include
certain
assets
of
certain
Nuveen
funds
that
were
reorganized
into
funds
advised
by
an
affiliate
of
the
Adviser
during
the
2019
calendar
year.
Eligible
assets
include
closed-end
fund
assets
managed
by
the
Adviser
that
are
attributable
to
certain
types
of
leverage.
For
these
purposes,
leverage
includes
the
closed-end

use
of

and
borrowings
and
certain
investments
in
the
residual

Borrowing
Arrangements
Committed
Line
of
Credit:
The
Funds,
along
with
certain
other
funds
managed
by
the
Adviser
(“Participating
Funds”),
have
established
a
364-day,
$2.700
billion
standby
credit
facility
with
a
group
of
lenders,
under
which
the
Participating
Funds
may
borrow
for
temporary
purposes
(other
than
on-
going
leveraging
for
investment
purposes).
Each
Participating
Fund
is
allocated
a
designated
proportion
of
the
facility’s
capacity
(and
its
associated
costs,
as
described
below)
based
upon
a
multi-factor
assessment
of
the
likelihood
and
frequency
of
its
need
to
draw
on
the
facility,
the
size
of
the
Fund
and
its
anticipated
draws,
and
the
potential
importance
of
such
draws
to
the
operations
and
well-being
of
the
Fund,
relative
to
those
of
the
other
Funds.
A
Fund
may
effect
draws
on
the
facility
in
excess
of
its
designated
capacity
if
and
to
the
extent
that
other
Participating
Funds
have
undrawn
capacity.
The
credit
facility
expires
in
June
2025
unless
extended
or
renewed.
The
credit
facility
has
the
following
terms:
0.15%
per
annum
on
unused
commitment
amounts
and
a
drawn
interest
rate
equal
to
the
higher
of
(a)
OBFR
(Overnight
Bank
Funding
Rate)
plus
1.20%
per
annum
or
(b)
the
Fed
Funds
Effective
Rate
plus
1.20%
per
annum
on
amounts
borrowed. The
Participating
Funds
also
incurred
a
0.05%
upfront
fee
on
the
increased
commitments
from
select
lenders.
Interest
expense
incurred
by
the
Participating
Funds,
when
applicable,
is
recognized
as
a
component
of
“Interest
expense”
on
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Participating
Funds
paid
administration,
legal
and
arrangement
fees,
which
are
recognized
as
a
component
of
“Interest
expense”
on
the
Statement
of
Operations,
and
along
with
commitment
fees,
have
been
allocated
among
such
Participating
Funds
based
upon
the
relative
proportions
of
the
facility’s
aggregate
capacity
reserved
for
them
and
other
factors
deemed
relevant
by
the
Adviser
and
the
Board
of
each
Participating
Fund.
During
the
current
period,
the
following
Funds
utilized
this
facility.
The
Funds’
maximum

balance
during
the
utilization
period
was

The Approval Process
At meetings held on April 18 and 19, 2024 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Directors (collectively, the “Board” and each Director, a “Board Member”) of Nuveen Investment Funds, Inc. approved, for each respective fund listed above (each a “Fund”), the renewal of the investment management agreement (each an “Investment Management Agreement”) with Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (“NFAL”; NFAL is an “Adviser”) pursuant to which NFAL serves as investment adviser to such Fund. Similarly, for each Fund, the Board approved the renewal of the sub-advisory agreement (each a “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) pursuant to which the Sub-Adviser serves as the sub-adviser to such Fund. The Board Members are not “interested persons” (as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”)) and, therefore, the Board is deemed to be comprised of all disinterested Board Members. References to the Board and the Board Members are interchangeable. Below is a summary of the annual review process the Board undertook related to its most recent renewal of each Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement on behalf of the applicable Fund.
In accordance with applicable law, following up to an initial two-year period, the Board considers the renewal of each Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement on behalf of the applicable Fund on an annual basis. The Investment Management Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements,” and NFAL and the Sub-Adviser are collectively, the “Fund Advisers” and each a “Fund Adviser.” In addition, the fund complex consists of the group of funds advised by NFAL (collectively referred to as the “Nuveen funds”) and the group of funds advised by Teachers Advisors, LLC (“TAL” and such funds are collectively, the “TC funds”). For clarity, NFAL serves as Adviser to the Nuveen funds, including the Funds, and TAL serves as “Adviser” to the TC funds. The Board Members considered that the prior separate boards of the TC funds and Nuveen funds were consolidated effective in January 2024. Accordingly, at the Meeting, the Board Members considered the review of the advisory agreements for the Nuveen funds as well as reviewed the investment management agreements for the TC funds. Depending on the appropriate context, references to “the Adviser” may be to NFAL with respect to the Nuveen funds and/or TAL with respect to the TC funds.
The Board Members considered the review of the advisory agreements of the Nuveen funds and the TC funds to be an ongoing process. The Board Members therefore employed the accumulated information, knowledge and experience they had gained during their tenure on the respective board of the TC funds or Nuveen funds (as the case may be) governing the applicable funds and working with the respective investment advisers and sub-advisers, as applicable, in their review of the advisory agreements for the fund complex.
During the course of the year prior to the Meeting, the Board and/or its committees received a wide variety of materials that covered a range of topics relevant to the Board’s annual consideration of the renewal of the advisory agreements, including reports on fund investment results over various periods; product initiatives for various funds; fund expenses; compliance, regulatory and risk management matters; trading practices, including soft dollar arrangements (as applicable); the liquidity and derivatives risk management programs; management of distributions; valuation of securities; payments to financial intermediaries, including 12b-1 expenses (as applicable); securities lending (as applicable); and overall market and regulatory developments. The Board also met periodically with and/or received presentations by key investment professionals managing a fund’s portfolio. In particular, at the Board meeting held on February 27-29, 2024 (the “February Meeting”), the Board and/or its Investment Committee received the annual performance review of the funds as described in further detail below. The presentations, discussions and meetings throughout the year also provide a means for the Board to evaluate and consider the level, breadth and quality of services provided by the Adviser and sub-advisers, as applicable, and how such services have changed over time in light of new or modified regulatory requirements, changes to market conditions or other factors.
In connection with its annual consideration of the advisory agreements, the Board, through its independent legal counsel, requested and received extensive materials and information prepared specifically for its review of the advisory agreements. The materials provided at the Meeting and/or prior meetings covered a wide range of matters including, but not limited to, a description of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Fund Advisers; the consolidation of the Nuveen fund family and TC fund family; a review of product actions advanced in 2023 for the benefit of particular funds and/or the fund complex; a review of each sub-adviser, if applicable, and/or applicable investment team; an analysis of fund performance with a focus on funds considered to have met certain challenged performance measurements; an analysis of the fees and expense ratios of the funds with a focus on funds considered to have certain expense characteristics; a list of management fee and, if applicable, sub-advisory fee schedules; a review of temporary and permanent expense caps and fee waivers for open-end funds (as applicable); a description of portfolio manager compensation; a description of the profitability and/or financial data of Nuveen, TAL and the sub-advisers; and a description of indirect benefits received by the Adviser and the sub-advisers as a result of their relationships with the funds, as applicable. The Board also considered information provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data, comparing fee and expense levels of each respective fund to those of a peer universe and, with respect to open-end funds, also to a peer group of funds selected by Broadridge, subject to certain exceptions.

Item 11. | Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (continued) |
The information prepared specifically for the annual review supplemented the information provided to the Board and its committees and the evaluations of the funds by the Board and its committees during the year. The Board’s review of the advisory agreements for the fund complex is based on all the information provided to the Board and its committees over time. The performance, fee and expense data and other information provided by a Fund Adviser, Broadridge or other service providers were not independently verified by the Board Members.
As part of their review, the Board Members and independent legal counsel met by videoconference in executive session on April 10, 2024 (the “April Executive Session”) to review and discuss materials provided in connection with their annual review of the advisory agreements for the fund complex. After reviewing this information, the Board Members requested, directly or through independent legal counsel, additional information, and the Board subsequently reviewed and discussed the responses to these follow-up questions and requests.
The Board Members were advised by independent legal counsel during the annual review process as well as throughout the year, including meeting in executive sessions with such counsel at which no representatives of management were present. In connection with their annual review, the Board Members also received a memorandum from independent legal counsel outlining their fiduciary duties and legal standards in reviewing the Advisory Agreements, including guidance from court cases evaluating advisory fees.
The Board’s decisions to renew each Advisory Agreement were not based on a single identified factor, but rather each decision reflected the comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board and its committees throughout the year as well as the materials prepared specifically in connection with the annual review process. The contractual arrangements may reflect the results of prior year(s) of review, negotiation and information provided in connection with the Board’s annual review of the funds’ advisory arrangements and oversight of the funds. Each Board Member may have attributed different levels of importance to the various factors and information considered in connection with the annual review process and may have placed different emphasis on the relevant information year to year in light of, among other things, changing market and economic conditions. A summary of the principal factors and information, but not all the factors, the Board considered in deciding to renew the Advisory Agreements is set forth below.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In evaluating the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Board Members received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the applicable Fund Adviser’s services provided to each respective Fund with particular focus on the services and enhancements or changes to such services provided during the last year. The Board Members considered the Investment Management Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements separately in the course of their review. With this approach, they considered the roles of NFAL and the Sub-Adviser in providing services to the Funds.
The Board considered that the Adviser provides a wide array of management, oversight and other services to manage and operate the applicable funds. The Board considered the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ dedication of resources, time, people and capital as well as continual program of improvement and innovation aimed at enhancing the funds and fund complex for investors and meeting the needs of an increasingly complex regulatory environment. In particular, over the past several years, the Board considered the significant resources, both financial and personnel, the Adviser and its affiliates have committed in working to consolidate the Nuveen fund family and TC fund family under one centralized umbrella. The Board considered that the organizational changes in bringing together Nuveen, its affiliates and TIAA’s (as defined below) asset management businesses, consolidating the Nuveen and TC fund families and other initiatives were anticipated to provide various benefits for the funds through, among other things, enhanced operating efficiencies, centralized investment leadership and a centralized shared resources and support model. As part of these efforts, the boards of the TC funds and Nuveen funds were consolidated effective in January 2024. In addition, in conjunction with these consolidation efforts, the Board approved at the Meeting changes to fee and breakpoint structures (as applicable) that could provide cost savings to participating funds, as described in further detail below.
The Board also reviewed information regarding other product actions undertaken or continued by management in the 2023 calendar year in seeking to improve the effectiveness of the organization, the product line-up as well as particular funds through, among other things, continuing to review and optimize the product line and gaining efficiencies through mergers and liquidations; reviewing and updating investment policies and benchmarks; implementing fee waivers and/or expense cap changes for certain funds; evaluating and adjusting portfolio management teams as appropriate for various funds; and developing policy positions on a broad range of regulatory proposals that may impact the funds and communicating with lawmakers and other regulatory authorities to help ensure these positions are considered. In its review, the Board considered that the funds operated in a highly regulated industry and the scope and complexity of the services and resources that the Adviser and its affiliates must provide to manage and operate the applicable funds have expanded over the years as a result of, among other things, regulatory, market and other developments, such as the adoption of the tailored shareholder report or the revised fund name rule.
In considering the breadth and quality of services the Adviser and its various teams provide, the Board considered that the Adviser provides investment advisory services. With respect to the Nuveen funds, such funds utilize sub-advisers to manage the portfolios of the funds subject to the supervision of NFAL. Accordingly, the Board considered that NFAL and its affiliates, among other things, oversee and review the performance of the respective sub-adviser and its investment team(s); evaluate Nuveen fund performance and market conditions; evaluate investment strategies and recommend changes thereto; set and manage distributions consistent with the respective Nuveen fund’s product design; oversee trade execution and, as applicable, securities lending; evaluate investment risks; and manage valuation matters. The Board further considered that over the course of the 2023 calendar year, the Nuveen global public product team which supports the funds in the fund complex and their shareholders assessed the investment personnel across the investment leadership teams which resulted in additions or other modifications to the portfolio management teams of various funds. The Board also reviewed a description of the compensation structure applicable to certain portfolio managers.
In addition to the above investment advisory services, the Board further considered the extensive compliance, regulatory, administrative and other services the Adviser and its various teams or affiliates provide to manage and operate the applicable funds. Given the highly regulated industry in which the funds operate, the Board considered the breadth of the Adviser’s compliance program and related policies and procedures. The Board reviewed various initiatives the Adviser’s compliance team undertook or continued in 2023, in part, to address new regulatory requirements, support
2
international business growth and product development, enhance international trading capabilities, enhance monitoring capabilities in light of the new regulatory requirements and guidance and maintain a comprehensive training program. The Board further considered, among other things, that other non-advisory services provided included, among other things, board support and reporting; establishing and reviewing the services provided by other fund service providers (such as a fund’s custodian, accountant, and transfer agent); risk management, including reviews of the liquidity risk management and derivatives risk management programs; legal support services; regulatory advocacy; and cybersecurity, business continuity and disaster recovery planning and testing.
Aside from the services provided, the Board considered the financial resources of the Adviser and/or its affiliates and their willingness to make investments in the technology, personnel and infrastructure to support the funds, including to enhance global talent, middle office systems, software and international and internal capabilities. The Board considered the access provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to a seed capital budget to support new or existing funds and/or facilitate changes for a respective fund. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large fund complex with a variety of investment disciplines, capabilities, expertise and resources available to navigate and support the funds including during stressed times. The Board considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates and the Adviser’s continuing commitment to provide high quality services.
In its review, the Board also considered the significant risks borne by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with their services to the applicable funds, including entrepreneurial risks in sponsoring and supporting new funds and smaller funds and ongoing risks with managing the funds, such as investment, operational, reputational, regulatory, compliance and litigation risks.
With respect to the Funds, the Board considered the division of responsibilities between NFAL and the Sub-Adviser and considered that the Sub-Adviser and its investment personnel generally are responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio under the oversight of NFAL and the Board. The Board considered an analysis of the Sub-Adviser provided by NFAL which included, among other things, a summary of changes in the leadership teams and/or portfolio manager teams; the performance of the Nuveen funds sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser over various periods of time; and data reflecting product changes (if any) taken with respect to certain Nuveen funds. The Board considered that NFAL recommended the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
Based on its review, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the respective Funds under each applicable Advisory Agreement.
B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and Fund Advisers
In evaluating the quality of the services provided by the Fund Advisers, the Board also considered a variety of investment performance data of the Funds. In this regard, the Board and/or its Investment Committee reviewed, among other things, performance of the Funds over the quarter, one-, three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024. For those Funds with multiple share classes, the performance data was based on Class I shares; however, the performance of other share classes was substantially similar as those other share classes invest in the same portfolio of securities and differences in performance among the classes would be principally attributed to the variations in the expense structures of the share classes. The Board performed its annual review of fund performance at its February Meeting and an additional review at the April Executive Session and also reviewed and discussed performance data at its other regularly scheduled quarterly meetings throughout the year. The Board therefore took into account the performance data, presentations and discussions (written and oral) that were provided at the Meeting and in prior meetings over time in evaluating fund performance, including management’s analysis of a fund’s performance with particular focus on funds that met certain challenged performance measurements as determined pursuant to a methodology approved by the Board or additional measurements as determined by management’s investment analysts. As various Nuveen funds have modified their portfolio teams and/or made significant changes to their portfolio strategies over time, the Board reviewed, among other things, certain tracking performance data over specific periods comparing performance before and after such changes.
The Board considered that performance data reflects performance over a specified period which may differ significantly depending on the ending dates selected, particularly during periods of market volatility. Further, the Board considered that shareholders may evaluate performance based on their own respective holding periods which may differ from the performance periods reviewed by the Board and lead to differing results.
In its evaluation, the Board reviewed fund performance results from different perspectives. In general, subject to certain exceptions, the Board reviewed both absolute and relative fund performance over the various time periods and considered performance results in light of a fund’s investment objective(s), strategies and risks. With respect to the relative performance, the Board considered fund performance in comparison to the performance of peer funds (the “Performance Peer Group”), subject to certain exceptions, and recognized and/or customized benchmarks (i.e., generally benchmarks derived from multiple recognized benchmarks). In reviewing such comparative performance, the Board was cognizant of the inherent limitations of such data which can make meaningful performance comparisons generally difficult. As an illustration, differences in the composition of the Performance Peer Group, the investment objective(s), strategies, dates of fund inception and other characteristics of the peers in the Performance Peer Group, the level, type and cost of leverage (if any) of the peers, and the varying sizes of peers all may contribute to differences in the performance results of a Performance Peer Group compared to the applicable fund. With respect to relative performance of a fund compared to a benchmark index, differences, among other things, in the investment objective(s) and strategies of a fund and the benchmark (particularly an actively managed fund that does not directly follow an index) as well as the costs of operating a fund would necessarily contribute to differences in performance results and limit the value of the comparative performance information. To assist the Board in its review of the comparability of the relative performance, management generally has ranked the relevancy of the Performance Peer Groups to the Funds as low, medium or high. In its review of relative performance, the Board considered a Fund’s performance relative to its Performance Peer Group, among other things, by evaluating its quartile ranking with the 1st quartile representing the top performing funds within the Performance Peer Group and the 4th quartile representing the lowest performing funds.
3
Item 11. | Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (continued) |
The Board evaluated performance in light of various relevant factors which may include, among other things, general market conditions, issuer-specific information, asset class information, leverage and fund cash flows. The Board considered that long-term performance could be impacted by even one period of significant outperformance or underperformance and that a single investment theme could disproportionately affect performance. Further, the Board considered that market and economic conditions may significantly impact a fund’s performance, particularly over shorter periods, and such performance may be more reflective of such economic or market events and not necessarily reflective of management skill. Although the Board reviews short-, intermediate- and longer-term performance data, the Board considered that longer periods of performance may reflect full market cycles.
In their review from year to year, the Board Members consider and may place different emphasis on the relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. In evaluating performance, the Board focused particular attention on funds with less favorable performance records. However, depending on the facts and circumstances, including any differences between the respective fund and its benchmark and/or Performance Peer Group, the Board may be satisfied with a fund’s performance notwithstanding that its performance may be below that of its benchmark and/or peer group for certain periods. With respect to any funds for which the Board has identified performance issues, the Board seeks to monitor such funds more closely until performance improves, discuss with the Adviser the reasons for such results, consider whether any steps are necessary or appropriate to address such issues, discuss and evaluate the potential consequences of such steps and review the results of any steps undertaken.
The performance determinations with respect to each Fund are summarized below.
● For Nuveen Minnesota Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, the Board considered that although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023, the Fund ranked in the second quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-year period ended December 31, 2023 and first quartile for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023. In addition, although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2024, the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one-year period ended March 31, 2024 and ranked in the second quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-year period and first quartile for the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2024. On the basis of the Board’s ongoing review of investment performance and all relevant factors, including the relative market conditions during certain reporting periods, the Fund’s investment objective(s) and management’s discussion of performance, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance supported renewal of the Advisory Agreements.
● For Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Bond Fund, the Board considered that although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one-year periods ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024. In addition, the Fund ranked in the second quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023, the first quartile for the one-year period ended March 31, 2024 and the second quartile for the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2024. In its review, the Board considered that the Performance Peer Group was classified as low for relevancy. On the basis of the Board’s ongoing review of investment performance and all relevant factors, including the relative market conditions during certain reporting periods, the Fund’s investment objective(s) and management’s discussion of performance, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance supported renewal of the Advisory Agreements.
● For Nuveen Nebraska Municipal Bond Fund, the Board considered that although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024 and the Fund ranked in the fourth quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, the Fund ranked in the third quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-year periods ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024. On the basis of the Board’s ongoing review of investment performance and all relevant factors, including the relative market conditions during certain reporting periods, the Fund’s investment objective(s) and management’s discussion of performance, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance supported renewal of the Advisory Agreements.
● For Nuveen Oregon Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, the Board considered that although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023, the Fund ranked in the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-year period and second quartile for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023. In addition, although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2024, the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one-year period ended March 31, 2024 and ranked in the second quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one- and three-year periods and first quartile for the five-year period ended March 31, 2024. On the basis of the Board’s ongoing review of investment performance and all relevant factors, including the relative market conditions during certain reporting periods, the Fund’s investment objective(s) and management’s discussion of performance, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance supported renewal of the Advisory Agreements.

C. Fees, Expenses and Profitability
As part of its annual review, the Board generally reviewed, among other things, the contractual management fee and the net/actual management fee (i.e., the management fee after taking into consideration fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any) paid by a Fund to the Adviser in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board also reviewed information about other expenses and the total operating expense ratio of each Fund (after any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements). More specifically, the Board Members reviewed, among other things, each Fund’s management fee rates and net total expense ratio in relation to similar data for a comparable universe of funds (the “Expense Universe”) and for a more focused subset of comparable funds (the “Expense Group”) established by Broadridge (subject to certain exceptions). The Board Members reviewed the methodology Broadridge employed to establish its Expense Universe and Expense Group (as applicable) and considered that differences between the applicable fund and its respective Expense Universe and/or Expense Group, as well as changes to the composition of the Expense Universe and/or Expense Group from year to year, may limit some of the value of the comparative data. The Board Members also considered that it can be difficult to compare management fees among funds as there are variations in the services that are included for the fees paid. The Board Members took these limitations and differences into account when reviewing comparative peer data.
The Board Members also considered a Fund’s operating expense ratio as it more directly reflected a shareholder’s total costs in investing in the respective fund. In their review, the Board Members considered, in particular, each fund with a net total expense ratio meeting certain expense or fee criteria when compared to its Expense Universe and Expense Group (if any) and an analysis as to the factors contributing to each such fund’s relative net total expense ratio.
The Board Members also considered, in relevant part, a Fund’s management fee and net total expense ratio in light of the Fund’s performance history, including reviewing certain funds identified by management and/or the Board as having a higher net total expense ratio or management fee compared to their respective peers coupled with experiencing periods of challenged performance and considering the reasons for such comparative positions.
In their evaluation of the fee arrangements for the Funds, the Board Members also reviewed the management fee schedules and the expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers agreed to by the Adviser for the respective fund (if any). In its review, the Board considered that the management fees of the Nuveen funds were generally comprised of two components, a fund-level component and a complex-level component, each with its own breakpoint schedule, subject to certain exceptions. As indicated above, the Board approved a revised fee schedule which would reduce and streamline the asset thresholds necessary to meet breakpoints in the complex-level fee component. The Board considered that management anticipated approximately $50 million in savings for Nuveen fund shareholders as a result of the revised fee schedule as well as additional estimated savings over time. The Board further considered management’s representation that there will be no increase to any Nuveen fund’s respective advisory agreement fee rate as a result of the revised complex-level fee schedule.
In its review, the Board considered that across the Nuveen fund and TC fund complex, management estimated that fund-level breakpoints resulted in approximately $82.5 million in reduced fees overall in 2023 and expense caps and reimbursements generated approximately an additional $91 million in savings to shareholders. In addition, the Board considered that management determined that the Nuveen funds achieved additional fee reductions of approximately $49 million due to the complex-wide management fee structure in 2023.
With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board also considered, among other things, the sub-advisory fee schedule paid to the Sub-Adviser in light of the sub-advisory services provided to the respective Fund. In its review, the Board considered that the compensation paid to the Sub-Adviser is the responsibility of NFAL, not the Funds.
The Board’s considerations regarding the comparative fee data for each of the Funds are set forth below. With respect to the quartile rankings noted below, the first quartile represents the range of funds with the lowest management fee rate or net total expense ratio, as applicable, and the fourth quartile represents the range of funds with the highest management fee rate or net total expense ratio, as applicable. The Board considered that Broadridge only calculates quartiles if a minimum number of peers is available and therefore quartile rankings may not be available for certain Expense Groups and/or Expense Universes.
● For Nuveen Minnesota Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, although the Fund’s actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio ranked in the fourth quartile of its Expense Group, the Fund’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the third quartile of its Expense Group. In addition, the Fund’s contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio each ranked in the fourth quartile of its Expense Universe. Further, although the Fund’s actual management fee rate was above the Expense Group median, the Fund’s net total expense ratio was slightly above (approximately 5 basis points) the Expense Group median. The Board, however, considered that the limited number of and changes to the peers in the Expense Group limited the comparability of the peer data. The Board also considered that the Fund’s net total expense ratio was generally in-line with the median of the other intermediate funds within the Expense Group.
● For Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Bond Fund, although the Fund’s contractual management fee rate and actual management fee rate ranked in the fourth quartile of its Expense Group, the Fund’s net total expense ratio ranked in the second quartile of its Expense Group. In addition, although the Fund’s contractual management fee rate and actual management fee rate ranked in the fourth quartile of its Expense Universe, the Fund’s net total expense ratio ranked in the third quartile of its Expense Universe. Further, although the Fund’s actual management fee rate was above the Expense Group median, the Fund’s net total expense ratio matched the Expense Group median.

Item 11. | Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (continued) |
● For Nuveen Nebraska Municipal Bond Fund, the Fund’s contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio ranked in the third quartile, fourth quartile and third quartile of its Expense Group, respectively. In addition, the Fund’s contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio ranked in the third quartile, second quartile and third quartile of its Expense Universe, respectively. Further, although the Fund’s actual management fee rate was above the Expense Group median, the Fund’s net total expense ratio was generally in-line with the Expense Group median.
● For Nuveen Oregon Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, the Fund’s contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate and net total expense ratio ranked in the fourth quartile of its Expense Group and Expense Universe. In addition, the Fund’s actual management fee and net total expense ratio were above the Expense Group median. The Board, however, considered that the limited number of and changes to the peers in the Expense Group limited the comparability of the peer data. Further, the Board considered that the Fund’s net total expense ratio was generally in-line with the median of the other intermediate funds within the Expense Group.
Based on its review of the information provided, the Board determined that each Fund’s management fees (as applicable) to a Fund Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund.
| 2. | Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients |
In evaluating the appropriateness of fees, the Board also considered that the Adviser, affiliated sub-advisers and/or their affiliate(s) provide investment management services to other types of clients which may include: separately managed accounts, retail managed accounts, foreign funds (UCITS), other investment companies (as sub-advisers), limited partnerships and collective investment trusts. The Board reviewed the equal weighted average fee or other fee data for the other types of clients managed in a similar manner to certain of the Nuveen funds and TC funds. The Board considered the Adviser’s rationale for the differences in the management fee rates of the funds compared to the management fee rates charged to these other types of clients. In this regard, the Board considered that differences, including but not limited to, the amount, type and level of services provided by the Adviser to the funds compared to that provided to other clients as well as differences in investment policies; regulatory, disclosure and governance requirements; servicing relationships with vendors; the manner of managing such assets; product structure; investor profiles; and account sizes all may contribute to variations in relative fee rates. Further, differences in the client base, governing bodies, distribution, jurisdiction and operational complexities also would contribute to variations in management fees assessed the funds compared to foreign fund clients. In addition, differences in the level of advisory services required for passively managed funds also contribute to differences in the management fee levels of such funds compared to actively managed funds. As a general matter, higher fee levels reflect higher levels of service provided by the Adviser, increased investment management complexity, greater product management requirements, and higher levels of business risk or some combination of these factors. The Board considered the wide range of services in addition to investment management that the Adviser had provided to the funds compared to other types of clients as well as the increased entrepreneurial, legal and regulatory risks that the Adviser incurs in sponsoring and managing the funds. The Board further considered that a sub-adviser’s fee is essentially for portfolio management services and therefore more comparable to the fees it receives for retail wrap accounts and other external sub-advisory mandates. The Board concluded that the varying levels of fees were reasonable given, among other things, the more extensive services, regulatory requirements and legal liabilities, and the entrepreneurial, legal and regulatory risks incurred in sponsoring and advising a registered investment company compared to that required in advising other types of clients.
| 3. | Profitability of Fund Advisers |
In their review, the Board Members considered various profitability data relating to the Fund Advisers’ services to the Nuveen funds.
With respect to the Nuveen funds, the Board Members reviewed the estimated profitability information of Nuveen as a result of its advisory services to the Nuveen funds overall as well as profitability data of certain other asset management firms. Such profitability information included, among other things, gross and net revenue margins (excluding distribution) of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen Investments”) for services to the Nuveen funds on a pre-tax and after-tax basis for the 2023 and 2022 calendar years as well as the revenues earned (less any expense reimbursements/fee waivers) and expenses incurred by Nuveen Investments for its advisory activities to the Nuveen funds (excluding distribution) for the 2023 and 2022 calendar years. The Board Members also considered the rationale for the change in Nuveen’s profitability from 2022 to 2023. In addition, the Board reviewed the revenues, expenses and operating margin (pre- and after-tax) NFAL derived from its exchange-traded fund product line for the 2023 and 2022 calendar years.
In developing the profitability data, the Board Members considered the subjective nature of calculating profitability as the information is not audited and is necessarily dependent on cost allocation methodologies to allocate expenses throughout the complex and among the various advisory products. Given there is no single universally recognized expense allocation methodology and that other reasonable and valid allocation methodologies could be employed and could lead to significantly different results, the Board reviewed, among other things, a description of the cost allocation methodologies employed to develop the financial information, a summary of the refinements Nuveen had made to the methodology that had occurred over the years from 2010 through 2021 to provide Nuveen’s profitability analysis, and a historical expense analysis of Nuveen Investments’ revenues, expenses and pre-tax net revenue margins derived from its advisory services to the Nuveen funds (excluding distribution) for the calendar years from 2017 through 2023. The Board of the Nuveen funds had also appointed two Board Members to serve as the Board’s liaisons to meet with representatives of NFAL and review the development of the profitability data and to report to the full Board.

In addition, the Board considered certain comparative operating margin data. In this regard, the Board reviewed the operating margins of Nuveen Investments compared to the adjusted operating margins of a peer group of asset management firms with publicly available data and the most comparable assets under management (based on asset size and asset composition) to Nuveen. The Board considered that the operating margins of the peers were adjusted generally to address that certain services provided by the peers were not provided by Nuveen. The Board also reviewed, among other things, the net revenue margins (pre-tax) of Nuveen Investments on a company-wide basis and the net revenue margins (pre-tax) of Nuveen Investments derived from its services to the Nuveen funds only (including and excluding distribution) compared to the adjusted operating margins of the peer group for each calendar year from 2014 to 2023. In their review of the comparative data, the Board Members considered the limitations of the comparative data given that peer data is not generally public and the calculation of profitability is subjective and affected by numerous factors (such as types of funds a peer manages, its business mix, its cost of capital, the numerous assumptions underlying the methodology used to allocate expenses and other factors) that can have a significant impact on the results.
Aside from the profitability data, the Board considered that NFAL and TAL are affiliates of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”). NFAL is a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC, the investment management arm of TIAA, and TAL is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of TIAA. Accordingly, the Board also reviewed a balance sheet for TIAA reflecting its assets, liabilities and capital and contingency reserves for the 2023 and 2022 calendar years to consider the financial strength of TIAA. The Board considered the benefit of an investment adviser and its parent with significant resources, particularly during periods of market volatility. The Board also considered the reinvestments the Adviser, its parent and/or other affiliates made into their business through, among other things, the investment of seed capital in certain funds, initiatives in international expansion, investments in infrastructure and continued investments in enhancements to technological capabilities.
The Board Members considered the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from its relationships with the respective Nuveen funds. In this regard, the Board Members reviewed, among other things, the Sub-Adviser’s revenues, expenses and net revenue margins (pre- and after-tax) for its advisory activities to the respective Nuveen funds for the calendar years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Board Members also reviewed a profitability analysis reflecting the revenues, expenses and revenue margin (pre- and after-tax) grouped by similar types of funds (such as municipal, taxable fixed income, equity, real assets and index/asset allocation) for the Sub-Adviser for the calendar years ending December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Board Members also considered the indirect benefits NFAL or the Sub-Adviser received that were directly attributable to the management of the applicable funds as discussed in further detail below. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied that each Fund Adviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with each Nuveen fund was not unreasonable over various time frames in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided.
D. Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale
The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the funds in the fund complex, including the Funds, whether these economies of scale have been appropriately shared with such funds and whether there is potential for realization of further economies of scale. Although the Board considered that economies of scale are difficult to measure with any precision and the rates at which certain expenses are incurred may not decline with a rise in assets, the Board considered that there are various methods that may be employed to help share the benefits of economies of scale, including, among other things, through the use of breakpoints in the management fee schedule, fee waivers and/or expense limitations, the pricing of funds at scale at inception and investments in the Adviser’s business which can enhance the services provided to the applicable funds for the fees paid. The Board considered that the Adviser has generally employed one or more of these various methods among the applicable funds.
In this regard, the Board considered, as noted above, that the management fee of NFAL generally was comprised of a fund-level component and a complex-level component each with its own breakpoint schedule, subject to certain exceptions. With this structure, the Board considered that the complex-level breakpoint schedule was designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to shareholders when the assets of eligible funds in the complex pass certain thresholds even if the assets of a particular fund are unchanged or have declined, and the fund-level breakpoint schedules were designed to share economies of scale with shareholders if the particular fund grows. The Board reviewed the fund-level and complex-level fee schedules. As summarized above, the Board approved a new complex-level breakpoint schedule which would simplify and reduce the complex-level fee rates at various thresholds and expanded the eligible funds whose assets would be included in calculating the complex-level fee, effective May 1, 2024. Among other things, the assets of certain TC funds advised by TAL would be phased into the calculation of the complex-wide assets in determining the complex-level fee over a ten-year period. The Board considered the cost savings and additional potential sharing of economies of scale as a result of the reduced complex-level breakpoint schedule and the additional assets from more eligible funds in calculating the assets of the complex for determining the complex-level fee component. The Board reviewed the projected shareholder savings derived from such modifications over a ten-year period from 2024 to 2033. The Board considered management’s representation that there will be no increase to any fund’s respective advisory agreement fee rate.
In addition to the fund-level and complex-level fee schedules (if applicable), the Board Members considered the temporary and/or permanent expense caps (if any) applicable to a Fund. The Board considered that such waivers and reimbursements applicable to the respective funds are another means for potential economies of scale to be shared with shareholders of such funds and can provide a protection from an increase in expenses if the assets of the applicable funds decline.
The Board Members also considered the continued reinvestment in Nuveen/TIAA’s business to enhance its capabilities and services to the benefit of its various clients. The Board understood that many of these investments were not specific to individual funds, but rather incurred across a variety of products and services pursuant to which the family of funds as a whole may benefit. The Board further considered that the Adviser and its affiliates have provided certain additional services, including, but not limited to, services required by new regulations and regulatory interpretations,

without raising advisory fees to the funds, and this was also a means of sharing economies of scale with the funds and their shareholders. The Board considered the Adviser’s and/or its affiliates’ ongoing efforts to streamline the product line-up, among other things, to create more scaled funds which may help improve both expense and trading economies.
Based on its review, the Board was satisfied that the current fee arrangements together with the reinvestment in management’s business appropriately shared any economies of scale with shareholders.
E. Indirect Benefits
The Board Members received and considered information regarding various indirect benefits the respective Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationship with the funds in the fund complex, including the Funds. These benefits included, among other things, economies of scale to the extent the Adviser or its affiliates share investment resources and/or personnel with other clients of the Adviser. The funds may also be used as investment options for other products or businesses offered by the Adviser and/or its affiliates, such as variable products, fund of funds and 529 education savings plans, and affiliates of the Adviser may serve as sub-advisers to various funds in which case all advisory and sub-advisory fees generated by such funds stay within Nuveen.
Further, the funds may pay the Adviser and/or its affiliates for other services, such as distribution. In this regard, the Board Members considered that an affiliate of the Adviser serves as principal underwriter providing distribution and/or shareholder services to the open-end funds for which it may be compensated. The Board Members also considered that certain share classes of the open-end funds (subject to certain exceptions) pay 12b-1 fees, some of which may be retained by the Adviser’s affiliate. In addition, the Board Members considered that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser may utilize soft dollar brokerage arrangements attributable to the respective funds to obtain research and other services for any or all of their clients, although the Board Members also considered reimbursements of such costs by the Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser.
The Adviser and its affiliates may also benefit from the advisory relationships with the funds in the fund complex to the extent this relationship results in potential investors viewing the TIAA group of companies as a leading retirement plan provider in the academic and nonprofit market and a single source for all their financial service needs. The Adviser and/or its affiliates may further benefit to the extent that they have pricing or other information regarding vendors the funds utilize in establishing arrangements with such vendors for other products.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that any indirect benefits received by a Fund Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided.
F. Other Considerations
The Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement were reasonable, that the respective Fund Adviser’s fees were reasonable in light of the services provided to each Fund and that the Advisory Agreements be renewed for an additional one-year period.
