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

These Funds feature portfolio management by Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, an affiliate of Nuveen Investments, Inc. Portfolio managers Paul L. Brennan, CFA, and Christopher L. Drahn, CFA, review U.S. economic and municipal market conditions, key investment strategies and the twelve-month performance of these three national Funds. Paul has managed NPI and NPM since 2006 and Chris assumed portfolio management responsibility for NPT in 2011.
What factors affected the U.S. economy and the national municipal market during the twelve-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014?
During this reporting period, the U.S. economy continued to expand at a moderate pace. The Federal Reserve (Fed) maintained efforts to bolster growth and promote progress toward its mandates of maximum employment and price stability by holding the benchmark fed funds rate at the record low level of zero to 0.25% that it established in December 2008. At its October 2014 meeting, the Fed announced that it would end its bond-buying stimulus program as of November 1, 2014, after tapering its monthly asset purchases of mortgage-backed and longer-term Treasury securities from the original $85 billion per month to $15 billion per month over the course of seven consecutive meetings (December 2013 through September 2014). In making the announcement, the Fed cited substantial improvement in the outlook for the labor market since the inception of the current asset purchase program as well as sufficient underlying strength in the broader economy to support ongoing progress toward maximum employment in a context of price stability. The Fed also reiterated that it would continue to look at a wide range of factors, including labor market conditions, indicators of inflationary pressures and readings on financial developments, in determining future actions, saying that it would likely maintain the current target range for the fed funds rate for a considerable time after the end of the asset purchase program, especially if projected inflation continues to run below the Fed’s 2% longer-run goal. However, if economic data shows faster progress toward the Fed’s employment and inflation objectives than currently anticipated, the Fed indicated that the first increase in the fed funds rate since 2006 could occur sooner than expected.
In the third quarter of 2014, the U.S. economy, as measured by the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), grew at a 3.9% annual rate, compared with -2.1% in the first quarter of 2014 and 4.6% in the second quarter. Third-quarter growth was attributed in part to expanded business investment in equipment and a major increase in military spending. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 1.7% year-over-year as of October 2014, while the core CPI (which excludes food and energy) increased 1.8% during the same period, below the Fed’s unofficial longer term inflation objective of 2.0%. As of October 2014, the national unemployment rate was 5.8%, the lowest level since July 2008, down from the 7.2% reported in October 2013, marking the ninth consecutive month in which the economy saw the addition of more than 200,000 new jobs. The housing market continued to post gains, although price growth has

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
shown signs of deceleration in recent months. The average home price in the S&P/Case-Shiller Index of 20 major metropolitan areas rose 4.9% for the twelve months ended September 2014 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared), putting home prices at fall 2004 levels, although they continued to be down 15%-17% from their mid-2006 peaks.
During the first two months of this reporting period, the financial markets remained unsettled in the aftermath of widespread uncertainty about the future of the Fed’s quantitative easing program. Also contributing to investor concern was Congress’s failure to reach agreement on the Fiscal 2014 federal budget, which triggered sequestration, or automatic spending cuts and a 16-day federal government shutdown in October 2013. This sequence of events sparked increased volatility in the financial markets, with the Treasury market trading off, the municipal market following suit and spreads widening as investor concern grew, prompting selling by bondholders across the fixed income markets.
As we turned the page to calendar year 2014, the market environment stabilized, as the Fed’s policies continued to be accommodative and some degree of political consensus was reached. The Treasury market rallied and municipal bonds rebounded, with flows into municipal bond funds increasing, while supply continued to drop. This supply/demand dynamic served as a key driver of municipal market performance for the period. The resultant rally in municipal bonds generally produced positive total returns for the reporting period as a whole. Overall, municipal credit fundamentals continued to improve, as state governments made good progress in dealing with budget issues. Due to strong growth in personal income tax and sales tax collections, year-over-year totals for state tax revenues had increased for 16 consecutive quarters as of the second quarter of 2014, while on the expense side, many states made headway in cutting and controlling costs, with the majority implementing some type of pension reform. The current level of municipal issuance reflects the more conservative approach to state budgeting. For the twelve months ended October 31, 2014, municipal bond issuance nationwide totaled $319.7 billion, down 4.6% from the issuance for the twelve-month reporting period ended October 31, 2013.
What key strategies were used to manage these Funds during the twelve-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014?
During this reporting period we saw the municipal market environment shift from the volatility of late 2013 to a rally driven by strong demand and tight supply and reinforced by an environment of improving fundamentals in 2014. For the reporting period as a whole, municipal bond prices generally rose, as interest rates declined and the yield curve flattened. We continued to take a bottom-up approach to identifying sectors that appeared undervalued as well as individual credits that had the potential to perform well over the long term and helped us keep the Funds fully invested.
Municipal supply nationally remained tight throughout this reporting period, although issuance improved during the second half of this twelve-month reporting period compared with the first half. However, much of this increase was attributable to refunding activity as bond issuers, prompted by low interest rates, sought to lower debt service costs by retiring older bonds from proceeds of lower cost new bond issues. During the third quarter of 2014, for example, we saw current refunding activity increase by more than 64% nationwide and estimates are that these refundings accounted for 35% of issuance during the first nine months of 2014. These refunding bonds mostly do not represent an actual net increase in issuance because they mostly replaced outstanding issues that were called soon thereafter. As a result, it remained challenging to source attractive bonds that would enhance the Funds’ holdings. Much of our investment activity focus during this reporting period was on reinvesting the cash generated by current calls into credit sensitive sectors and longer maturity bonds that could help us offset the decline in rates and maintain investment performance potential. These Funds were well positioned coming into the reporting period, so we could be selective in looking for opportunities to purchase bonds that added value.
NPI and NPM continued to find value in the transportation sector, especially in tollroad issues, where we saw increased activity after several years of low issuance and deferred maintenance. Among our additions in the transportation sector were bonds for the Downtown Crossing bridge across the Ohio River from Indiana to Louisville, Kentucky, credits issued for the Dulles Tollroad in Virginia and suburban Washington, D.C. and a new issue from the Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency (F/ETCA) in
California, which we purchased at attractive prices in December 2013. In one of the largest fixed rate municipal transactions of 2013, F/ETCA refinanced $2.3 billion in outstanding debt originally issued in 1999. Traffic and revenues on the tollroads in F/ETCA’s 36-mile network, which links major population centers in Southern California, have increased and the bonds have performed well for the Funds since purchase. In October 2014, we also participated in the tender offer and new issuance of toll-road bonds for the San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Agency in Orange County, California, the largest tollroad network in the western U.S. The agency took advantage of the decline in interest rates to restructure its debt by making a tender offer for existing bonds at above-market prices and then issuing new bonds at lower interest rates, thereby reducing debt service costs, improving cash flow and increasing financial flexibility. In our view, the agency’s debt restructuring resulted in an improved credit outlook for these bonds and we added some of the new San Joaquin credits to our portfolios.
We also bought health care bonds, including NPI’s purchase of credits issued for Catholic Health Initiatives, a national nonprofit health system that operates hospitals and long term care facilities in 17 states, including Colorado and Tennessee. In addition, we added to our holdings in the higher education, water and sewer and utility sectors. In the utilities sector, we purchased Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) general revenue bonds.
NPT also found value in the transportation and health care sectors, purchasing the San Joaquin and Foothill/Eastern issues described above as well as bonds for the Catholic Health Initiatives facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee and the Rogers Memorial Hospital system in Wisconsin. In higher education, the Fund added bonds issued for the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences in Missouri. In the utilities sector, we added bonds for the South Carolina Public Service Authority (more commonly known as Santee Cooper). In late October 2014, NPT also purchased bonds for the 3 World Trade Center, an 80-story tower in New York City, issued through the Liberty Development Corporation.
Also during this reporting period, S&P upgraded its credit rating on National Public Finance Guarantee Corp. (NPFG), the insurance subsidiary of MBIA, to AA- from A, citing NPFG’s strong operating performance and competitive position in the financial guarantee market. As a result, the ratings on the Funds’ holdings of bonds backed by insurance from NPFG, and not already rated at least AA-due to a higher underlying borrower ratings, were similarly upgraded to AA- as of mid-March 2014. This action produced an increase in the percentage of our portfolios held in the AA credit quality category (and a corresponding decrease in the A category), improving the overall credit rating of the Funds. S&P also upgraded its rating on Assured Guaranty Municipal (AGM) as well as AGM’s municipal-only insurer Municipal Assurance Corp. to AA from AA-.
Cash for purchases was generated primarily by proceeds from called and matured bonds, which we worked to redeploy to keep the Funds fully invested and support their income streams. As previously mentioned, the decline in municipal yields and the flattening of the municipal yield curve relative to the Treasury curve helped to make refunding deals more attractive. The increase in this activity provided ample cash for purchases and drove much of our trading.
As of October 31, 2014, all of these Funds continued to use inverse floating rate securities. We employ inverse floaters for a variety of reasons, including duration management, income enhancement and total return enhancement. As part of our duration management strategies, NPM also added a forward interest rate swap to reduce price volatility risk to movements in U.S. interest rates relative to the Fund’s benchmark.
How did the Funds perform during the twelve-month reporting period ended October 31, 2014?
The tables in each Fund’s Performance Overview and Holding Summaries section of this report provide the Funds’ total returns for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended October 31, 2014. Each Fund’s total returns at common share net asset value (NAV) are compared with the performance of a corresponding market index and Lipper classification average.
For the twelve months ended October 31, 2014, the total returns on common share NAV for NPI, NPM and NPT outperformed the return for the national S&P Municipal Bond Index. For the same period, NPI and NPT exceeded the average return for the Lipper General and Insured Leveraged Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average, while NPM lagged this Lipper classification average.
Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
Key management factors that influenced the Funds’ returns included duration and yield curve positioning, credit exposure and sector allocation. Keeping the Funds fully invested throughout the reporting period also was beneficial for performance. In addition, the use of regulatory leverage was an important positive factor affecting the Funds performance for this reporting period. Leverage is discussed in more detail later in the Fund Leverage section of this report.
Given the combination of declining interest rates and a flattening yield curve during this reporting period, municipal bonds with longer maturities generally outperformed those with shorter maturities. Overall, credits with maturities of 15 years or more, especially those at the longest end of the municipal yield curve, outperformed the general municipal market, while bonds at the shortest end of the curve produced the weakest results. Consistent with our long term strategy, these Funds tended to have longer durations than the municipal market in general, with overweightings in the longer parts of the yield curve that performed well and underweightings in the underperforming shorter end of the curve. This was especially true in NPT and NPI, where greater sensitivity to changes in interest rates benefited their performance. As noted previously, in NPM we added a forward interest rate swap during the this reporting period to reduce the Fund’s duration, which had exceeded its target. As interest rates declined during the period, the swap resulted in NPM having the shortest duration among these Funds as of the end of this reporting period and this detracted from its performance. Overall, duration and yield curve positioning was the major driver of performance and differences in positioning accounted for much of the differences in performance.
During this reporting period, lower rated bonds, bonds rated A or lower, generally outperformed higher quality bonds, as the municipal market rally continued and investors became more willing to accept risk in their search for yield in the current low rate environment. While their longer average durations provided an advantage for lower rated bonds, these bonds also generally had stronger duration-adjusted results. These Funds tended to have overweights in bonds rated A and BBB and underweights in the AAA and AA categories relative to their benchmark and credit exposure was generally positive for their performance, particularly in NPT, which had the largest allocation of bonds rated A and BBB. NPM, on the other hand, had slightly lighter exposures to the outperforming credit categories, which restrained its performance to some degree.
Among the municipal market sectors, health care, industrial development revenue (IDR) and transportation (especially tollroads) bonds generally were the top performers, with water and sewer, education and housing credits also outperforming the general municipal market. The outperformance of the health care sector can be attributed in part to the recent scarcity of these bonds, with issuance in this sector declining 31% during the first nine months of 2014, while the performance of tollroad bonds was boosted by improved traffic and revenue from increased rates. Each of these Funds had strong or targeted exposures to the health care and transportation sectors, which benefited their performance. During this reporting period, lower-rated tobacco credits backed by the 1998 master tobacco settlement agreement experienced some volatility, but finished the reporting period ahead of the national municipal market as a whole. The performance of these bonds was helped by their longer effective durations, lower credit quality and the broader demand for higher yields. In addition, several tobacco bond issues were strengthened following the favorable resolution of a dispute over payments by tobacco companies. All three of these Funds were overweighted in tobacco bonds.
In contrast, pre-refunded bonds, which are often backed by U.S. Treasury securities, were among the poorest performing market segments. The underperformance of these bonds relative to the market can be attributed primarily to their shorter effective maturities and higher credit quality. As of October 31, 2014, all of these Funds had holdings of pre-refunded bonds. In addition, general obligation (GO) credits generally trailed the revenue sectors as well as the municipal market as a whole, although by a substantially smaller margin than the pre-refunded category. Some of the GOs’ underperformance can be attributed to their higher quality.
We continued to monitor two situations in the broader municipal market for any impact on the Funds’ holdings and performance: the ongoing economic problems of Puerto Rico and the City of Detroit’s bankruptcy case. In terms of Puerto Rico holdings, shareholders should note that NPI and NPM had limited exposure to Puerto Rico debt during this reporting period, generally totaling under 1%, while NPT sold the last of its Puerto Rico holdings in July 2014. These territorial bonds were originally added to our portfolios to keep assets fully invested and working for the Funds as well as to enhance diversity, duration and credit. The Puerto Rico
credits offered higher yields, added diversification and triple exemption (i.e., exemption from most federal, state and local taxes). However, Puerto Rico’s continued economic weakening, escalating debt service obligations and long-standing inability to deliver a balanced budget led to multiple downgrades on its debt over the past two years. Following the latest rating reduction by Moody’s in July 2014, Puerto Rico general obligation debt was rated B2/BB+/BB (below investment grade) by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, with negative outlooks. In late June 2014, Puerto Rico approved new legislation creating a judicial framework and formal process that would allow several of the commonwealth’s public corporations to restructure their public debt. As of October 2014, the Nuveen complex held $69.8 million in bonds backed by public corporations in Puerto Rico that could be restructured under this legislation, representing less than 0.1% of our municipal assets under management. In light of the evolving economic situation in Puerto Rico, Nuveen’s credit analysis of the commonwealth had previously considered the possibility of a default and restructuring of public corporations and we adjusted our portfolios to prepare for such an outcome, although no such default or restructuring has occurred to date. The Nuveen complex’s entire exposure to obligations of the government of Puerto Rico and other Puerto Rico issuers totaled 0.35% of assets under management as of October 31, 2014. As of October 31, 2014, the Funds’ limited exposure to Puerto Rico generally was invested in bonds that were insured (which we believe adds value), pre-refunded (and therefore backed by securities such as U.S. Treasuries) or unrelated to the government of Puerto Rico. Overall, the small size of our exposures meant that our Puerto Rico holdings had a negligible impact on performance.
The second situation that we continued to monitor was the City of Detroit’s filing for Chapter 9 in federal bankruptcy court in July 2013. Burdened by decades of population loss, changes in the auto manufacturing industry and significant tax base deterioration, Detroit had been under severe financial stress for an extended period prior to the filing. Before Detroit could exit bankruptcy, issues surrounding the city’s complex debt portfolio, numerous union contracts, significant legal questions and more than 100,000 creditors had to be resolved. By October 2014, all of the major creditors had reached an agreement on the city’s plan to restructure its $18.5 billion of debt and emerge from bankruptcy and on November 7, 2014 (subsequent to the close of this reporting period). The U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved the city’s bankruptcy exit plan, thereby erasing approximately $7 billion in debt. The settlement plan also provided for $1.7 billion to be reinvested in the city for improved public safety, blight removal and upgraded basic services. All of these Funds had exposure to Detroit-related bonds, including Detroit water and sewer credits. In August 2014, Detroit announced a tender offer for the city’s water and sewer bonds, aimed at replacing some of the $5.2 billion of existing debt with lower cost bonds. (Not all of the Detroit water and sewer bonds were eligible for the tender offer.) Approximately $1.5 billion in existing water and sewer bonds were returned to the city by investors under the tender offer, which enabled Detroit to issue $1.8 billion in new water and sewer bonds, resulting in savings of $250 million over the life of the bonds. The city also raised about $150 million to finance sewer system improvements. As part of the deal, Detroit water and sewer bonds were permanently removed from the city’s bankruptcy case. In general, Detroit water and sewer credits rallied following these positive developments.
Fund Leverage
IMPACT OF THE FUNDS’ LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE
One important factor impacting the returns of the Funds relative to their comparative benchmarks was the Funds’ use of leverage through their issuance of preferred shares and/or investments in inverse floating rate securities, which represent leveraged investments in underlying bonds. The Funds use leverage because our research has shown that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for additional income, particularly in the recent market environment where short-term market rates are at or near historical lows, meaning that the short-term rates the Fund has been paying on its leveraging instruments have been much lower than the interest the Fund has been earning on its portfolio of long-term bonds that it has bought with the proceeds of that leverage. However, use of leverage also can expose the Fund to additional price volatility. When a Fund uses leverage, the Fund will experience a greater increase in its net asset value if the municipal bonds acquired through the use of leverage increase in value, but it will also experience a correspondingly larger decline in its net asset value if the bonds acquired through leverage decline in value, which will make the Fund’s net asset value more volatile, and its total return performance more variable over time. In addition, income in levered funds will typically decrease in comparison to unlevered funds when short-term interest rates increase and increase when short-term interest rates decrease. Leverage made a positive contribution to the performance of these Funds over this reporting period.
As of October 31, 2014, the Funds’ percentages of leverage are shown in the accompanying table.
| | NPI | NPM | NPT | |
| Effective Leverage* | 35.53% | 36.38% | 34.82% | |
| Regulatory Leverage* | 29.13% | 30.67% | 29.54% | |
| * | Effective Leverage is a Fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage and the leverage effects of certain derivative and other investments in a Fund’s portfolio that increase the Fund’s investment exposure. Currently, the leverage effects of Tender Option Bond (TOB) inverse floater holdings are included in effective leverage values, in addition to any regulatory leverage. Regulatory leverage consists of preferred shares issued or borrowings of a Fund. Both of these are part of a Fund’s capital structure. Regulatory leverage is subject to asset coverage limits set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940. |

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. It is based on a federal income tax rate of 28.0%. When comparing a Fund to investments that generate qualified dividend income, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower. |
Each Fund in this report seeks to pay regular monthly dividends out of its net investment income at a rate that reflects its past and projected net income performance. To permit each 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 income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If a 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 a Fund has cumulatively paid in dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute a negative UNII that will likewise be reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. Each Fund will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to shareholders.
As of October 31, 2014, all the Funds in this report had positive UNII balances for both tax and financial reporting purposes.
Common Share Information (continued)
All monthly dividends paid by the Funds during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014 were paid from net investment income. If a portion of a Fund’s monthly distributions was sourced from or comprised of elements other than net investment income, including capital gains and/or a return of capital, the Funds’ shareholders would have received a notice to that effect. The composition and per share amounts of each Fund’s monthly dividends for the reporting period are presented in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights, respectively (for reporting purposes) and in Note 6 — Income Tax Information within the accompany Notes to Financial Statements (for income tax purposes), later in this report.
COMMON SHARE REPURCHASES
During August 2014, the Funds’ Board of Directors reauthorized an open-market share repurchase program, allowing each Fund to repurchase an aggregate of up to approximately 10% of its outstanding shares.
As of October 31, 2014, and since the inception of the Funds’ repurchase programs, the Funds have cumulatively repurchased and retired common shares as shown in the accompanying table.
| | | | NPI | | | NPM | | | NPT | |
| Common Shares Cumulatively Repurchased and Retired | | | — | | | 422,900 | | | — | |
| Common Shares Authorized for Repurchase | | | 6,405,000 | | | 7,070,000 | | | 4,335,000 | |
During the current reporting period, the Funds did not repurchase any of their outstanding common shares.
OTHER COMMON SHARE INFORMATION
As of October 31, 2014, and during the current reporting period, the Funds’ common share prices were trading at a premium/(discount) to their common share NAVs as shown in the accompanying table.

Risk Considerations
Fund shares are not guaranteed or endorsed by any bank or other insured depository institution, and are not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Fund common shares are subject to a variety of risks, including:
Investment, Market and Price Risk. An investment in common shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest. Your investment in common shares represents an indirect investment in the municipal securities owned by the Funds, which generally trade in the over-the-counter markets. Shares of closed-end investment companies like these Funds frequently trade at a discount to their net asset value (NAV). Your common shares at any point in time may be worth less than your original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.
Tax Risk. The tax treatment of Fund distributions may be affected by new IRS interpretations of the Internal Revenue Code and future changes in tax laws and regulations.
Leverage Risk. Each Fund’s use of leverage creates the possibility of higher volatility for the Fund’s per share NAV, market price, distributions and returns. There is no assurance that a Fund’s leveraging strategy will be successful. Certain aspects of the recently adopted Volcker Rule may limit the availability of tender option bonds, which are used by the Funds for leveraging and duration management purposes. The effects of this new Rule, expected to take effect in mid-2015, may make it more difficult for a Fund to maintain current or desired levels of leverage and may cause the Fund to incur additional expenses to maintain its leverage.
Inverse Floater Risk. The Funds may invest in inverse floaters. Due to their leveraged nature, these investments can greatly increase a Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk and credit risk. In addition, investments in inverse floaters involve the risk that the Fund could lose more than its original principal investment.
Issuer Credit Risk. This is the risk that a security in a Fund’s portfolio will fail to make dividend or interest payments when due.
Interest Rate Risk. Fixed-income securities such as bonds, preferred, convertible and other debt securities will decline in value if market interest rates rise.
Reinvestment Risk. If market interest rates decline, income earned from a Fund’s portfolio may be reinvested at rates below that of the original bond that generated the income.
Call Risk or Prepayment Risk. Issuers may exercise their option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled, forcing a Fund to reinvest in lower-yielding securities.
Derivatives Strategy Risk. Derivative securities, such as calls, puts, warrants, swaps and forwards, carry risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with the underlying investments.
Municipal Bond Market Liquidity Risk. Inventories of municipal bonds held by brokers and dealers have decreased in recent years, lessening their ability to make a market in these securities. This reduction in market making capacity has the potential to decrease a Fund’s ability to buy or sell bonds, and increase bond price volatility and trading costs, particularly during periods of economic or market stress. In addition, recent federal banking regulations may cause certain dealers to reduce their inventories of municipal bonds, which may further decrease a Fund’s ability to buy or sell bonds. As a result, the Fund may be forced to accept a lower price to sell a security, to sell other securities to raise cash, or to give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on performance. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices and hurt performance.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc.
Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund 2, Inc.
Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund 4, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund 2, Inc. and Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund 4, Inc. (the “Funds”) as of October 31, 2014, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets, cash flows, and the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods presented through October 31, 2013 were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 27, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and those financial highlights.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of October 31, 2014, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, their cash flows and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

| (6) | At or subsequent to the end of the reporting period, this security is non-income producing.

Under the settlement agreement established to meet AMR’s unsecured bond obligations, the bondholders, including the Fund, received a distribution of AAL preferred stock which was converted to AAL common stock over a 120-day period. Every 30 days, a quarter of the preferred stock was converted to AAL common stock based on the 5-day volume-weighted average price and the amount of preferred shares tendered during the optional preferred conversion period. |
| (8) | Investment valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by, or at the discretion of, the Board.

The Fund’s custodian is not accruing income on the Fund’s records for either senior interest corporate bond. |
| (10) | Investment has a maturity of more than one year, but has variable rate and demand features which qualify it as a short-term investment.

| | Total Return Based on Common Share NAV is the combination of changes in common share NAV, reinvested dividend income at NAV and reinvested capital gains distributions at NAV, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending NAV. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund’s market price (and not its NAV), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized. |

Notes to Financial Statements
1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
General Information
Fund Information
The funds covered in this report and their corresponding New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) symbols are as follows (each a “Fund” and collectively,
the “Funds”):
| | • | Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (NPI) (“Premium Income (NPI)”) |
| | • | Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund 2, Inc. (NPM) (“Premium Income 2 (NPM)”) |
| | • | Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund 4, Inc. (NPT) (“Premium Income 4 (NPT)”) |
The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified closed-end registered investment companies. Premium Income (NPI), Premium Income 2 (NPM) and Premium Income 4 (NPT) were incorporated under the state laws of Minnesota on April 15, 1988, November 4, 1991 and January 13, 1993, respectively.
Investment Adviser
The Funds’ investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”). The Adviser is responsible for each Fund’s overall investment strategy and asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), a subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolios of the Funds.
Purchase and Sale Agreement
On October 1, 2014, TIAA-CREF, a national financial services organization, completed its previously announced acquisition of Nuveen, the parent company of the Adviser. The transaction has not resulted in any change in the portfolio management of the Funds or in the Funds’ investment objectives or policies.
Because the consummation of the acquisition resulted in the “assignment” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) and automatic termination of the Funds’ investment management agreements and investment sub-advisory agreements, Fund shareholders were asked to approve new investment management agreements with the Adviser and new investment sub-advisory agreements with each Fund’s Sub-Adviser. These new agreements were approved by shareholders of each of the Funds, and went into effect on October 1, 2014. The terms of the new agreements, including the fees payable to each Fund’s Adviser and Sub-Adviser, are substantially identical to those of the investment management agreements and investment sub-advisory agreements in place immediately prior to the closing.
Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax by investing primarily in a portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities or certain U.S. territories.
Significant Accounting Policies
Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 “Financial Services-Investment Companies.” The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the specific identification method, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to earmark securities in the Funds’ portfolios with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
As of October 31, 2014, the Funds’ outstanding when issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments were as follows:
| | | | Premium | | | Premium | | | Premium | |
| | | | Income | | | Income 2 | | | Income 4 | |
| | | | (NPI | ) | | (NPM | ) | | (NPT | ) |
| Outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments | | $ | 52,947,615 | | $ | 23,037,863 | | $ | 14,565,454 | |
Investment Income
Investment income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Investment income also reflects paydown gains and losses, if any.
Professional Fees
Professional fees presented on the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in an attempt to protect or enhance an investment, or to pursue other claims or legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders. If a refund is received for workout expenditures paid in a prior reporting period, such amounts will be recognized as “Legal fee refund” on the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income are declared monthly. Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards. Distributions to common 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.
Auction Rate Preferred Shares
Each Fund is authorized to issue Auction Rate Preferred Shares (“ARPS”). During prior fiscal periods, the Funds redeemed all of their outstanding ARPS, at liquidation value.
Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares
The following Fund has issued and outstanding Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred (“VMTP”) Shares, with a $100,000 liquidation value per share. VMTP Shares are issued via private placement and are not publically available.
As of October 31, 2014, VMTP Shares outstanding, at liquidation value, for the Fund was as follows:
| Fund | | | Series | | | Shares Outstanding | | | Shares Outstanding at $100,000 Per Share Liquidation Value | |
| Premium Income (NPI) | | | 2015 | | | 4,070 | | $ | 407,000,000 | |
The Fund is obligated to redeem its VMTP Shares by the date as specified in its offering document (“Term Redemption Date”), unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Fund. VMTP Shares are subject to optional and mandatory redemption in certain circumstances. The VMTP Shares are subject to redemption at the option of the Fund (“Optional Redemption Date”), subject to payment of premium for one year following the date of issuance (“Premium Expiration Date”), and at par thereafter. The Fund may be obligated to redeem certain of the VMTP Shares if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage and leverage ratio requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends. The Term Redemption Date, Optional Redemption Date and Premium Expiration Date for the Fund’s VMTP Shares are as follows:
| | | Term | Optional | Premium | |
| Fund | Series | Redemption Date | Redemption Date | Expiration Date | |
| Premium Income (NPI) | 2015 | December 1, 2015 | December 1, 2013 | November 30, 2013 | |
The average liquidation value of VMTP Shares outstanding and annualized dividend rate for the Fund during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, were as follows:
| | | | | |
| | | | Premium | |
| | | | Income | |
| | | | (NPI | ) |
| Average liquidation value of VMTP Shares outstanding | | $ | 407,000,000 | |
| Annualized dividend rate | | | 1.20 | % |
VMTP Shares generally do not trade, and market quotations are generally not available. VMTP Shares are short-term or short/intermediate-term instruments that pay a variable dividend rate tied to a short-term index, plus an additional fixed “spread” amount established at the time of issuance. The fair value of VMTP Shares is expected to be approximately their liquidation par value so long as the fixed “spread” on the VMTP Shares remains roughly in line with the “spread” rates being demanded by investors on instruments having similar terms in the current market environment. In present market conditions, the Fund’s Adviser has determined that the fair value of VMTP Shares is their liquidation value, but their fair value could vary if market conditions change materially. For financial reporting purposes, the liquidation value of VMTP Shares is recorded as a liability and recognized as “Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred (“VMTP”) Shares, at liquidation value” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Dividends on the VMTP Shares (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) are set weekly. Unpaid dividends on VMTP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable. Dividends accrued on VMTP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with its offering of VMTP Shares were recorded as a deferred charge, which are amortized over the life of the shares and are recognized as components of “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares
The following Funds have issued and outstanding Variable Rate Demand Preferred (“VRDP”) Shares, with a $100,000 liquidation value per share. VRDP Shares are issued via private placement and are not publically available.
As of October 31, 2014, the details of each Fund’s VRDP Shares outstanding are as follows:
| Fund | | | Series | | | Shares Outstanding | | | Shares Outstanding at $100,000 Per Share Liquidation Value | | | Maturity | |
| Premium Income 2 (NPM) | | | 1 | | | 4,895 | | $ | 489,500,000 | | | May 1, 2041 | |
| Premium Income 4 (NPT) | | | 1 | | | 2,622 | | $ | 262,200,000 | | | March 1, 2040 | |
VRDP Shares include a liquidity feature that allows VRDP shareholders to have their shares purchased by a liquidity provider with whom each Fund has contracted in the event that purchase orders for VRDP Shares in a remarketing are not sufficient in number to be matched with the sale orders in that remarketing. Each Fund is required to redeem any VRDP Shares that are still owned by the liquidity provider after six months of continuous, unsuccessful remarketing. Each Fund pays an annual remarketing fee of 0.10% on the aggregate principal amount of all VRDP Shares outstanding. Each Fund’s VRDP Shares have successfully remarketed since issuance.
Dividends on the VRDP Shares (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) are set weekly at a rate established by a remarketing agent; therefore, the market value of the VRDP Shares is expected to approximate its liquidation value. If remarketings for VRDP Shares are continuously unsuccessful for six months, the maximum rate is designed to escalate according to a specified schedule in order to enhance the remarketing agent’s ability to successfully remarket the VRDP Shares.
Subject to certain conditions, VRDP Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of each Fund. Each Fund may also redeem certain of the VRDP Shares if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends.
The average liquidation value of VRDP Shares outstanding and annualized dividend rate for each Fund during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, were as follows:
| | | | Premium | | | Premium | |
| | | | Income 2 | | | Income 4 | |
| | | | (NPM | ) | | (NPT | ) |
| Average liquidation value of VRDP Shares outstanding | | $ | 489,500,000 | | $ | 262,200,000 | |
| Annualized dividend rate | | | 0.15 | % | | 0.13 | % |
For financial reporting purposes only, the liquidation value of VRDP Shares is a liability and is recognized as “Variable Rate Demand Preferred (“VRDP”) Shares, at liquidation value” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Unpaid dividends on VRDP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable. Dividends accrued on the VRDP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with their offerings of VRDP Shares were recorded as a deferred charge, which are amortized over the life of the shares and are recognized as components of “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. In addition to interest expense, each Fund also pays a per annum liquidity fee to the liquidity provider, as well as a remarketing fee, which are recognized as “Liquidity fees” and “Remarketing fees,” respectively, on the Statement of Operations.

Indemnifications
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, their officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Netting Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable International Swaps and Derivative Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows each Fund to offset certain securities and derivatives with a specific counterparty with any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, each Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis.
The Funds’ investments subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, if any, are further described in Note 3 – Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets applicable to common shares from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
The fair valuation input levels as described below are for fair value measurement purposes.
Investment Valuation
Prices of fixed income securities are provided by a pricing service approved by the Funds’ Board of Directors (the “Board”). The pricing service establishes a security’s fair value using methods that may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer or market activity, provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs.
Prices of swap contracts are also provided by a pricing service approved by the Board using the same methods as described above, and are generally classified as Level 2.
Common stocks and other equity-type securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded and are generally classified as Level 1. Securities primarily traded on the NASDAQ National Market (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price and are generally classified as Level 1. However, securities traded on a securities exchange or NASDAQ for which there were no transactions on a given day or securities not listed on a securities exchange or NASDAQ are valued at the quoted bid price and are generally classified as Level 2.
Certain securities may not be able to be priced by the pre-established pricing methods as described above. Such securities may be valued by the Board or its appointee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; debt securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market quotation; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of a Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) (as may be the case in non-U.S. markets on which the security is primarily traded) or make it difficult or impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as provided by the pricing service, is not deemed to reflect the security’s fair value. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Board or its appointee.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the
assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.
| Level 1 – | Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. |
| Level 2 – | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
| Level 3 – | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund’s fair value measurements as of the end of the reporting period:

The Board is responsible for the valuation process and has appointed the oversight of the daily valuation process to the Adviser’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee, pursuant to the valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the Funds’ pricing policies and reporting to the Board. The Valuation Committee is aided in its efforts by the Adviser’s dedicated Securities Valuation Team, which is responsible for administering the daily valuation process and applying fair value methodologies as approved by the Valuation Committee. When determining the reliability of independent pricing services for investments owned by the Funds, the Valuation Committee, among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of the pricing services and monitors the quality of security prices received through various testing reports conducted by the Securities Valuation Team.
The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making a fair value determination, based on the facts and circumstances specific to the portfolio instrument. Fair value determinations generally will be derived as follows, using public or private market information:
| | (i) | If available, fair value determinations shall be derived by extrapolating from recent transactions or quoted prices for identical or comparable securities. |
| | | |
| | (ii) | If such information is not available, an analytical valuation methodology may be used based on other available information including, but not limited to: analyst appraisals, research reports, corporate action information, issuer financial statements and shelf registration statements. Such analytical valuation methodologies may include, but are not limited to: multiple of earnings, discount from market value of a similar freely-traded security, discounted cash flow analysis, book value or a multiple thereof, risk premium/yield analysis, yield to maturity and/or fundamental investment analysis. |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The purchase price of a portfolio instrument will be used to fair value the instrument only if no other valuation methodology is available or deemed appropriate, and it is determined that the purchase price fairly reflects the instrument’s current value.
For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board, the fair value price is compared against the last available and next available market quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such testing and fair valuation occurrences are reported to the Board.
3 . Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives
Portfolio Securities
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. In turn, this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in face amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, that typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties, and (b) issues to a long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) that represents all remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received by the inverse floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the inverse floater holder bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. The price of an inverse floating rate security will be more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates, and because the inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of loss of the greater face value of the underlying bond.
The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (a) to cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to tender their notes at par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate bond held by the trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust.
A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an “externally-deposited inverse floater”), or instead by first selling a fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a “self-deposited inverse floater”).
An investment in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(IF) – Inverse floating rate investment.” The Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities shows only the inverse floaters and not the underlying bonds as an asset and does not reflect the short-term floating rate certificates as liabilities. Also, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” only the net amount of earnings on its inverse floater investment (net of the interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates and the expenses of the trust), and does not show the amount of that interest paid as an interest expense on the Statement of Operations.
An investment in a self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction. In such instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(UB) – Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction,” with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate certificates issued by the trust, at their liquidation value, as “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” the entire earnings of the underlying bond and recognizes the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest rate and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, were as follows:
| | | | Premium | | | Premium | | | Premium | |
| | | | Income | | | Income 2 | | | Income 4 | |
| | | | (NPI | ) | | (NPM | ) | | (NPT | ) |
| Average floating rate obligations outstanding | | $ | 78,590,808 | | $ | 74,878,877 | | $ | 53,178,688 | |
| Average annual interest rate and fees | | | 0.49 | % | | 0.54 | % | | 0.45 | % |
As of October 31, 2014, the total amount of floating rate obligations issued by each Fund’s self-deposited inverse floaters and externally-deposited inverse floaters was as follows:
| | | | Premium | | | Premium | | | Premium | |
| | | | Income | | | Income 2 | | | Income 4 | |
| | | | (NPI | ) | | (NPM | ) | | (NPT | ) |
| Floating rate obligations: self-deposited inverse floaters | | $ | 64,269,000 | | $ | 61,954,000 | | $ | 49,099,000 | |
| Floating rate obligations: externally-deposited inverse floaters | | | 74,417,000 | | | 81,321,000 | | | 22,717,000 | |
| Total | | $ | 138,686,000 | | $ | 143,275,000 | | $ | 71,816,000 | |
Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a “recourse trust” or “credit recovery swap”) (such agreements referred to herein as “Recourse Trusts”) with a broker-dealer by which a Fund agrees to reimburse the broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the trust and the liquidation value of the floating rate certificates issued by the trust plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a Fund’s potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse floaters may increase beyond the value of a Fund’s inverse floater investments as a Fund may potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the floating rate certificates. At period end, any such shortfall is recognized as “Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of October 31, 2014, each Fund’s maximum exposure to the floating rate obligations issued by externally-deposited Recourse Trusts was as follows:
| | | | Premium | | | Premium | | | Premium | |
| | | | Income | | | Income 2 | | | Income 4 | |
| | | | (NPI | ) | | (NPM | ) | | (NPT | ) |
| Maximum exposure to Recourse Trusts | | $ | 26,285,000 | | $ | 36,955,000 | | $ | 12,000,000 | |
Zero Coupon Securities
A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
Investments in Derivatives
Each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap contracts. Each Fund limits its investments in futures, options on futures and swap contracts to the extent necessary for the Adviser to claim the exclusion from registration by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a commodity pool operator with respect to the Fund. The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds’ investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes.
Swap Contracts
Interest rate swap contracts involve a Fund’s agreement with the counterparty to pay or receive a fixed rate payment in exchange for the counterparty receiving or paying a variable rate payment. Forward interest rate swap contracts involve a Fund’s agreement with a counterparty to pay or receive, in the future, a fixed or variable rate payment in exchange for the counterparty receiving or paying the Fund a variable or fixed rate payment, the accruals for which would begin at a specified date in the future (the “effective date”). The amount of the payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the swap contract and the termination date of the swap (which is akin to a bond’s maturity). Swap contracts do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to the net amount of interest payments that a Fund is to receive. Swap contracts are valued daily. Upon entering into an interest rate swap contract (and beginning on the effective date for a forward interest rate swap contract), a Fund accrues the fixed rate payment expected to be paid or received and the variable rate payment expected to be received or paid on a daily basis, and recognizes the daily change in the fair value of the Fund’s contractual rights and obligations under the contracts. The net amount recorded on these transactions for each counterparty is recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a component of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on interest rate swaps (,net)” with the change during the fiscal period recognized on the Statement of Operations as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of swaps.” Income received or paid by a Fund is recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from swaps” on the Statement of Operations, in addition to the net realized gains or losses recognized upon the termination of a swap contract and are equal to the difference between a Fund’s basis in the swap and the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are recognized as a component of “Interest rate swap premiums paid and/or received” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable. For tax purposes, periodic payments are treated as ordinary income or expense.
During the current fiscal period, Premium Income 2 (NPM) as part of its duration management strategies, invested in forward interest rate swap contracts to help reduce price volatility risk to movements in U.S. interest rates relative to the Fund’s benchmark.
The average notional amount of interest rate swap contracts outstanding during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, was as follows:
| | | | Premium | |
| | | | Income 2 | |
| | | | (NPM | ) |
| Average notional amount of interest rate swap contracts outstanding* | | $ | 59,440,000 | |
| * | The average notional amount is calculated based on the outstanding notional at the beginning of the fiscal year and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal year. |

Market and Counterparty Credit Risk
In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount.

6 . Income Tax Information
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate securities reflected as financing transactions, if any. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the NAVs of the Funds.
As of October 31, 2014, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments (excluding investments in derivatives), as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| | | | Premium | | | Premium | | | Premium | |
| | | | Income | | | Income 2 | | | Income 4 | |
| | | | (NPI | ) | | (NPM | ) | | (NPT | ) |
| Cost of investments | | $ | 1,269,568,164 | | $ | 1,452,136,388 | | $ | 785,352,406 | |

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund’s management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.
Each Fund’s management fee consists of two components – a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within the 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 Managed Assets* | Fund-Level Fee Rate |
| For the first $125 million | 0.4500 | % |
| For the next $125 million | 0.4375 | |
| For the next $250 million | 0.4250 | |
| For the next $500 million | 0.4125 | |
| For the next $1 billion | 0.4000 | |
| For the next $3 billion | 0.3875 | |
| For managed assets over $5 billion | 0.3750 | |
The annual complex-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:
| Complex-Level Managed Asset Breakpoint Level* | Effective Rate at Breakpoint Level |
| $55 billion | 0.2000 | % |
| $56 billion | 0.1996 | |
| $57 billion | 0.1989 | |
| $60 billion | 0.1961 | |
| $63 billion | 0.1931 | |
| $66 billion | 0.1900 | |
| $71 billion | 0.1851 | |
| $76 billion | 0.1806 | |
| $80 billion | 0.1773 | |
| $91 billion | 0.1691 | |
| $125 billion | 0.1599 | |
| $200 billion | 0.1505 | |
| $250 billion | 0.1469 | |
| $300 billion | 0.1445 | |
| * | For the fund-level and complex-level fees, managed assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to certain types of leverage. For these purposes, leverage includes the funds’ use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining managed assets in certain circumstances. The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed assets of all Nuveen funds that constitute “eligible assets.” Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen funds or assets in excess of $2 billion added to the Nuveen fund complex in connection with the Adviser’s assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011. As of October 31, 2014, the complex-level fee rate for each of these Funds was 0.1643%. |
The Funds pay 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 Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. 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.

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report
| ■ | Auction Rate Bond: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond. Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for sale are deemed to have “failed,” with current holders receiving a formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction. |
| | |
| ■ | Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly used method to express an investment’s performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investment’s actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or market price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered. |
| | |
| ■ | Duration: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bond’s principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond’s or bond fund’s value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond’s or fund’s duration, the more the price of the bond or fund will change as interest rates change. |
| | |
| ■ | Effective Leverage: Effective leverage is a fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage (see Leverage) and the leverage effects of certain derivative investments in the fund’s portfolio. Currently, the leverage effects of Tender Option Bond (TOB) inverse floater holdings are included in effective leverage values, in addition to any regulatory leverage. |
| | |
| ■ | Forward Interest Rate Swap: A contractual agreement between two counterparties under which one party agrees to make periodic payments to the other for an agreed period of time based on a fixed rate, while the other party agrees to make periodic payments based on a floating rate of interest based on an underlying index. Alternatively, both series of cashflows to be exchanged could be calculated using floating rates of interest but floating rates that are based upon different underlying indexes. |
| | |
| ■ | Gross Domestic Product (GDP): The total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country/region in a given year, equal to total consumer, investment and government spending, plus the value of exports, minus the value of imports. |
| | |
| ■ | Inverse Floating Rate Securities: Inverse floating rate securities, also known as inverse floaters or tender option bonds (TOBs), are created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a) issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) to an investor (such as a fund) interested in gaining investment exposure to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the inverse floater varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the holder of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis. |
| | |
| ■ | Leverage: Leverage is created whenever a fund has investment exposure (both reward and/or risk) equivalent to more than 100% of the investment capital. |
| | |
| ■ | Lipper General & Insured Leveraged Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Calculated using the returns of all closed-end funds in this category. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges. |
| | |
| ■ | Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: A fund’s Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash, accrued earnings and receivables) less its total liabilities. NAV per share is equal to the fund’s Net Assets divided by its number of shares outstanding. |
.
Glossary of Terms Used in this Report (continued)
| ■ | Pre-Refunding: Pre-Refunding, also known as advanced refundings or refinancings, is a procedure used by state and local governments to refinance municipal bonds to lower interest expenses. The issuer sells new bonds with a lower yield and uses the proceeds to buy U.S. Treasury securities, the interest from which is used to make payments on the higher-yielding bonds. Because of this collateral, pre-refunding generally raises a bond’s credit rating and thus its value. |
| | |
| ■ | Regulatory Leverage: Regulatory Leverage consists of preferred shares issued by or borrowings of a fund. Both of these are part of a fund’s capital structure. Regulatory leverage is subject to asset coverage limits set in the Investment Company Act of 1940. |
| | |
| ■ | S&P Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade U.S. municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees. |
| | |
| ■ | Total Investment Exposure: Total investment exposure is a fund’s assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes a fund’s use of preferred stock and borrowings and investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities. |
| | |
| ■ | Zero Coupon Bond: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. Income to the holder of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the bond at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of bonds that pay interest periodically. |
Reinvest Automatically, Easily and Conveniently
Nuveen makes reinvesting easy. A phone call is all it takes to set up your reinvestment account.
Nuveen Closed-End Funds Automatic Reinvestment Plan
Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares. By choosing to reinvest, you’ll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of compounding. Just like distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on distributions that are reinvested. It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.
Easy and convenient
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you’ll receive a statement showing your total distributions, the date of investment, the shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.
How shares are purchased
The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net as -set value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund’s shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares’ net asset value or 95% of the shares’ market value on the last business day imme -diately prior to the purchase date. Distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the distribution payment date. No interest will be paid on distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.
Flexible
You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change. You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund 4, Inc.
The following tables show the amount of fees billed to the Fund during the Fund’s last two fiscal years by KPMG LLP, the Fund’s current auditor (engaged on August 7, 2014), and Ernst & Young LLP, the Fund’s former auditor. The audit fees billed to the Fund for the fiscal year 2014 are the only fees that have been billed to the Fund by KPMG LLP. All other fees listed in the tables below were billed to the Fund by Ernst & Young LLP. For engagements with KPMG LLP and Ernst & Young LLP, the Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that KPMG LLP and Ernst & Young LLP provided to the Fund, 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 Fund 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 Fund to its accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the audit is completed.
The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its Chairman (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).

The following tables show the amount of fees billed by KPMG LLP and Ernst & Young LLP to Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (formerly Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc.) (the “Adviser”), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund (“Affiliated Fund Service Provider”), for engagements directly related to the Fund’s operations and financial reporting, during the Fund’s last two full fiscal years.
The tables also show the percentage of fees subject to the pre-approval exception. The pre-approval exception for services provided to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider (other than audit, review or attest services) waives the pre-approval requirement if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to KPMG LLP and Ernst & Young LLP by the Fund, the Adviser and Affiliated Fund Service Providers during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee; (B) the Fund 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 Fund’s audit is completed.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES
The following table shows the amount of fees that KPMG LLP and Ernst & Young LLP billed during the Fund’s last two full fiscal years for non-audit services. The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve non-audit services that KPMG LLP and Ernst & Young LLP provides to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Services Provider, if the engagement related directly to the Fund’s operations and financial reporting (except for those subject to the pre-approval exception described above). The Audit Committee requested and received information from KPMG LLP and Ernst & Young LLP about any non-audit services that KPMG LLP and Ernst & Young LLP rendered during the Fund’s last fiscal year to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The Committee considered this information in evaluating KPMG LLP and Ernst & Young LLP’s independence.

| Less than 50 percent of the hours expended on the principal accountant's engagement to audit the registrant's financial statements for the most recent |
| fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time, permanent employees. | |
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. Generally, the Audit Committee must approve (i) all non-audit services to be performed for the Fund by the Fund’s independent accountants and (ii) all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Fund’s independent accountants for the Affiliated Fund Service Providers with respect to operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the independent accountants for the Fund and Affiliated Fund Service Providers (with respect to operations and financial reports of the Fund) such engagements will be (i) pre-approved by the Audit Committee if they are expected to be for amounts greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the Audit Committee chairman for his verbal approval prior to engagement if they are expected to be for amounts under $10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii) reported to the Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting if they are expected to be for an amount under $5,000.

ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

The Adviser is responsible for the on-going monitoring of the Fund’s investment portfolio, managing the Fund’s business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services. The Adviser has engaged Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“Sub-Adviser”) as Sub-Adviser to provide discretionary investment advisory services. As part of these services, the Adviser has delegated to the Sub-Adviser the full responsibility for proxy voting on securities held in the registrant’s portfolio and related duties in accordance with the Sub-Adviser’s policies and procedures. The Adviser periodically monitors the Sub-Adviser’s voting to ensure that it is carrying out its duties. The Sub-Adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures are attached to this filing as an exhibit and incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC is the registrant's investment adviser (also referred to as the “Adviser”.) The Adviser is responsible for the selection and on-going monitoring of the Fund’s investment portfolio, managing the Fund’s business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services. The Adviser has engaged Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“Nuveen Asset Management” or “Sub-Adviser”) as Sub-Adviser to provide discretionary investment advisory services. The following section provides information on the portfolio manager at the Sub-Adviser:
The Portfolio Manager
The following individual has primary responsibility for the day-to-day implementation of the registrant’s investment strategies:
| Name | Fund |
| Christopher L. Drahn | Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund 4, Inc. |
Other Accounts Managed. In addition to managing the registrant, the portfolio manager is also primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the following accounts:
| Portfolio Manager | Type of Account Managed | Number of Accounts | Assets* |
| Christopher L. Drahn | Registered Investment Company | 8 | $ 2.87 billion |
| | Other Pooled Investment Vehicles | 0 | $ 0 |
| | Other Accounts | 2 | $ 115 million |
| * | Assets are as of October 31, 2014. None of the assets in these accounts are subject to an advisory fee based on performance. |
POTENTIAL MATERIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one account. More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple accounts are presented a number of potential conflicts, including, among others, those discussed below.
The management of multiple accounts may result in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each account. Nuveen Asset Management seeks to manage such competing interests for the time and attention of portfolio managers by having portfolio managers focus on a particular investment discipline. Most accounts managed by a portfolio manager in a particular investment strategy are managed using the same investment models.
If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity which may be suitable for more than one account, an account may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible accounts. To deal with these situations, Nuveen Asset Management has adopted procedures for allocating limited opportunities across multiple accounts.
With respect to many of its clients’ accounts, Nuveen Asset Management determines which broker to use to execute transaction orders, consistent with its duty to seek best execution of the transaction. However, with respect to certain other accounts, Nuveen Asset Management may be limited by the client with respect to the selection of brokers or may be instructed to direct trades through a particular broker. In these cases, Nuveen Asset Management may place separate, non-simultaneous, transactions for a Fund and other accounts which may temporarily affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the detriment of the Fund or the other accounts.
Some clients are subject to different regulations. As a consequence of this difference in regulatory requirements, some clients may not be permitted to engage in all the investment techniques or transactions or to engage in these transactions to the same extent as the other accounts managed by the portfolio manager. Finally, the appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where Nuveen Asset Management has an incentive, such as a performance-based management fee, which relates to the management of some accounts, with respect to which a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities.
Nuveen Asset Management has adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address these types of conflicts common among investment managers. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.
Item 8(a)(3). FUND MANAGER COMPENSATION
Portfolio manager compensation consists primarily of base pay, an annual cash bonus and long term incentive payments.
Base pay. Base pay is determined based upon an analysis of the portfolio manager’s general performance, experience, and market levels of base pay for such position.
Annual cash bonus. The Fund’s portfolio managers are eligible for an annual cash bonus based on investment performance, qualitative evaluation and financial performance of Nuveen Asset Management.
A portion of each portfolio manager’s annual cash bonus is based on the Fund’s investment performance, generally measured over the past one- and three or five-year periods unless the portfolio manager’s tenure is shorter. Investment performance for the Fund generally is determined by evaluating the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark(s) and/or Lipper industry peer group.
A portion of the cash bonus is based on a qualitative evaluation made by each portfolio manager’s supervisor taking into consideration a number of factors, including the portfolio manager’s team collaboration, expense management, support of personnel responsible for asset growth, and his or her compliance with Nuveen Asset Management’s policies and procedures.
The final factor influencing a portfolio manager’s cash bonus is the financial performance of Nuveen Asset Management based on its operating earnings.
Long-term incentive compensation. Certain key employees of Nuveen Investments and its affiliates, including certain portfolio managers, have received equity interests in the parent company of Nuveen Investments. In addition, certain key employees of Nuveen Asset Management, including certain portfolio managers, have received profits interests in Nuveen Asset Management which entitle their holders to participate in the firm’s growth over time.
