Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to report that over the 12-month period covered by this report your Fund continued to provide you with attractive tax-free monthly income. More details about the performance and management strategy of your Fund over this period can be found in the Portfolio Manager’s Comments and Fund Spotlight sections of this report.

I also wanted to take this opportunity to report some important news about Nuveen Investments. We have accepted a “growth buyout” offer from a private equity investment firm. While this may affect the corporate structure of Nuveen Investments, it will have no impact on the investment objectives of the Funds, their portfolio management strategies or their dividend policies. We will provide you with additional information about this transaction as more details become available.

In addition to being a valuable option for fixed income investing, municipal bonds may help you achieve and benefit from greater portfolio diversification – a potential way to reduce some of the risk that comes with investing. I encourage you to consult your financial advisor who can explain how a well balanced portfolio can lower the overall investment risk over the long term.

What factors had the greatest influence on the U.S. economy and the national municipal market during the 12-month period ended May 31, 2007?

Higher energy prices and a slumping housing market all contributed to a slowdown in economic growth over much of this reporting period. In the second quarter of 2006, the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) – a measure of the goods and services produced by the nation – expanded at an annual rate of 2.6 percent, less than half of the previous quarter’s growth. The economy remained sluggish for the rest of the year, with annualized GDP increases of 2.0 percent and 2.5 percent in the third and fourth quarters of 2006, respectively. In the first three months of 2007, the GDP grew at an annualized rate of just 0.6 percent.

The housing market’s troubles largely stemmed from higher short-term interest rates. When this reporting period began on June 1, 2006, the benchmark federal funds rate was 5 percent. By month’s end, the Federal Reserve Board had raised this rate by a quarter-percentage-point. Beginning in August, the Fed opted to leave this short-term rate at 5.25 percent, given what they saw as evidence of a gradual economic slowdown coupled with manageable inflation. It was the first time in two years that the U.S. central bank did not raise rates at a regularly scheduled meeting. The Fed maintained this 5.25 rate at its remaining five meetings during the course of the reporting period.

About a month into this 12-month reporting period, municipal bond yields began to fall, especially on longer-dated securities, as investors anticipated an end to Fed rate hikes – and even the potential for a 2007 rate cut. The yield curve – a graphical representation of bond yields across a range of maturities – flattened during the period, with short-term interest rates rising modestly while the prices of many longer-term issues rose and their yields dropped (bond yields and prices move in opposite directions). Much of this rate decline on the curve’s long end came from strong demand from numerous new market participants, including large institutional and foreign investors.

The continued outperformance of lower-rated securities also drove municipal bond performance. Credit spreads – reflecting the generally higher yields paid to investors for owning riskier bonds – remained extremely tight by historical standards. The tight spreads reflected the market’s continued confidence that the economy could achieve a “soft landing” by slowing down gently but avoiding a recession. A low default rate among issuers and investors’ ongoing search for yield in a historically low interest-rate environment also benefited the high-yield municipal market. On a sector basis, bonds backed by the 1998 master tobacco settlement agreement tended to be particularly solid performers, as were those in the health care and transportation sectors, among others.

Over the 12 months ended May 31, 2007, about $423 billion worth of new municipal debt was issued nationally – a 15 percent increase compared with the prior 12 months. Much of the new supply came from an increase in bond refundings, as issuers sought to refinance their older, higher-interest-rate debt with newer, lower-coupon bonds. Despite the substantial supply, the increase in demand for municipal securities in recent years limited the availability of bonds for purchase by traditional mutual fund investors.

How did the Funds perform during the 12 months ended May 31, 2007?

The nearby table provides total return performance information for the six Funds discussed in this report for the one-, five-, and ten-year periods ended May 31, 2007. Each Fund’s performance is compared with the national Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, as well as with its Lipper peer group category average. The factors determining the performance of each Fund are discussed later in the report.

All six Funds saw their Class A shares at net asset value outperform their respective Lipper peer group averages during the 12 month period but trail the national Lehman Brothers index to varying degrees. Although we believe that comparing the performance of state Funds with that of a national municipal index may offer some insights into how the Funds performed relative to the general

municipal market, we also think that closely comparing the results of state Funds with a national average provides an incomplete picture, because most of the national index’s results come from out-of-state bonds.

What type of economic environment did the six states profiled in this report experience during the period?

Kansas’ economy grew sluggishly during this reporting period. The state continued to benefit from a low cost of living and a high degree of housing affordability, but has been hampered by its large exposure to such volatile industries as aircraft manufacturing, telecommunications and agriculture. As of May 2007, the unemployment rate in Kansas stood at 4.6 percent, 0.1 percent above the national average. At period end, the state maintained credit ratings of Aa1 and AA+ from Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, respectively. Kansas municipal issuance totaled approximately $2.5 billion during the 12-month period, a 15 percent year-over-year drop, compared to a national increase of 15 percent.

Kentucky’s economy grew steadily, but not impressively, over this 12-month period. Current growth is supported by service-based jobs such as those in the health care industry. As a result, Kentucky’s economy can be volatile, and employment outside the service sector is contingent on the performance of the automotive industry. Kentucky’s May 2007 unemployment rate stood at 5.5 percent, slightly below its level of a year earlier but a full percentage point above the national average. As of the end of the period, Kentucky’s credit ratings from Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s were Aa3 and AA-, respectively. Municipal issuance in the state was approximately $5.2 billion during the 12-month reporting period, a 16 percent year-over-year increase that was slightly above the national average.

Michigan’s long-challenged economy began to show some sign of recovery during the year, with growth in service-oriented industries partly compensating for troubles in the automotive and other manufacturing sectors. The state’s May 2007 unemployment rate of 6.9 percent was still the highest the nation and well above the national average. Michigan issued approximately $10.9 billion worth of new municipal debt during the past 12 months, representing a year-over-year increase of 23 percent. Despite its continuing economic challenges, Michigan’s credit ratings from Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s were Aa2 and AA- , respectively, at period end.

Missouri’s May 2007 unemployment rate of 4.6 percent was slightly worse than the national average of 4.5 percent. The state’s economy continued to be stable, benefiting from a high level of industrial diversity, affordable housing and a relatively low cost of doing business – factors that have helped compensate for Missouri’s exposure to troubled manufacturing industries. The stable economy helped the state preserve its high credit ratings of Aaa and AAA from Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, respectively. During the 12-month reporting period, Missouri issued $8.2 billion in new municipal debt, a 28 percent increase that was nearly double the national increase.

Ohio’s economy, heavily reliant on automobile and other types of manufacturing, has encountered significant challenges and saw an increase in unemployment during the period. As of May 2007, its unemployment rate was 5.7 percent, 0.3 percent higher than a year ago and 1.2 percent higher than the national average. At period end, the state maintained credit ratings of Aa1 and AA+ from Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, respectively. Issuance of new municipal debt in Ohio totaled approximately $12.8 billion, a 41 percent year-over-year increase.

Although Wisconsin’s economy is facing many of the same challenges shared by other Mid-western states, it has benefited from growth in a variety of industries – including business/professional services and education and health. Manufacturing-related businesses continue to struggle, however, and state budget problems have weighed on government-

related employment growth. In May 2007, Wisconsin maintained a jobless rate of 4.9 percent, 0.4 percent above the 4.5 percent national average. Municipal issuance during the past 12 months totaled about $10.5 billion, 27 percent higher than in the prior reporting period. At period end, the state maintained credit ratings of Aa3 and AA+ from Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, respectively.

What strategies were used to manage the Funds during the period? How did these strategies influence performance?

There were a number of similarities in how we managed each of the six Funds during the past 12 months. As always, a primary focus was on carefully managing the portfolios’ duration – meaning their price sensitivity to changes in interest rates – to keep interest-rate risk relatively close to targeted levels.

When buying new bonds, we typically favored issues with maturities of 20 to 25 years. We believed that securities in this range offered good total return prospects for shareholders. We also embraced selected opportunities to invest in bonds with 30-year and longer maturities for the additional income they provided – useful in an environment of historically low yields. When we found sufficient value, we also purchased suitable lower-rated bonds.

We pursued these strategies to varying extents in each Fund, with our ability to implement them depending on the individual market environments in the six states as well as the specific characteristics of each portfolio. Below, we outline our recent approaches to managing the Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin Funds.

Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund

The Kansas Fund’s duration was relatively short of its target for most of the period, which weighed on performance during the year. Specifically, the lack of much exposure to the longer-duration bonds was a relative negative as long-dated municipal yields generally performed well. Additionally, our relative overweighting in bonds with option-adjusted durations of 4-6 years detracted from results as these bonds did not do as well as longer-duration securities over this period. Finally, our exposure to certain individual bonds with effective maturities of 2009-2011 also hurt performance, as these bonds occupied a portion of the yield curve that did not perform well during the period.

On the positive side, the longer-duration and lower-rated bonds the Fund owned benefited in a generally favorable market environment for these types of securities. In addition, the Fund was helped by its allocation to a number of bonds which were advanced refunded during the period and which therefore enjoyed significant price appreciation as their credit quality was upgraded. Also, the Fund owned a number of high-coupon single-family housing bonds, which benefited from the high level of income they offered.

New purchases during the period included bonds in the health care sector, where we were able to establish new A-rated positions that we believed offered shareholders good values. In addition, we bought premium-coupon single-family housing bonds, in part to replenish the supply of housing bonds that had previously been called from the portfolio.

To bring the Fund’s duration more in line with our target, we generally were selling very-short-maturity bonds and looking for longer-dated holdings that provided increased interest-rate sensitivity. Although we added some bonds in the 18-year range, more often we bought further out on the yield curve for duration-management purposes. This was especially true of our lower-rated purchases when we were comfortable with the bonds’ credit characteristics and wanted to lock the securities’ yield and performance potential for longer.

Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund

Overall, the Kentucky Fund’s duration positioning was helpful for performance during this period, thanks primarily to our relative underweighting of bonds on the short end of the yield curve and a

 

Annual Report    Page 5


relative overweighting to better performing intermediate securities. However, results were tempered by our relative underweighting in the longer-duration bonds, which were the best overall performers in the municipal market during the year. Additional positive contributions came from our allocation to the education and health care bond sectors – both of which performed relatively well – as well as from our weighting in lower- and below-investment-grade bonds, which benefited from favorable market conditions. On the negative side, performance was hurt by our allocation to advance refunded bonds, which were hampered by their short durations. During the period, we were reducing our overweight to this sector by selling some of these advance refunded holdings and reinvesting the proceeds in intermediate-maturity bonds that we believed offered better relative values.

We were fairly active in making new purchases during the period. We bought a variety of housing bonds that enabled us to increase portfolio income as well as add duration to the Fund, which we sought to do because we were slightly short of our duration target. In addition, we purchased several BBB-rated health care bonds that we believed were well priced relative to their credit characteristics and maturity structures. Other new purchases during the period included water and sewer bonds, transportation bonds, and general obligation debt.

Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund

The Michigan Fund benefited from its positioning on the yield curve. Specifically, being relatively underweighted in shorter-duration bonds was helpful as those securities underperformed. The Fund also benefited from our credit-rating and sector allocations. Specifically, we enjoyed positive performance contributions from some of our individual bonds with below-investment-grade credit ratings, as well as from our investments in the health care, housing, and industrial development revenue sectors, with many of these holdings tending to be lower-rated investments that benefited from favorable market conditions. Weak results from advance refunded bonds – which were hurt by their relatively short durations – detracted from performance, as did being underexposed to insured bonds, which outperformed in Michigan as a category during this period. In addition, our modest relative underexposure to long-dated bonds, which were the best performers in the market, proved to be a comparative negative.

We bought a number of uninsured health care issues during the year and were able to find a variety of attractively valued opportunities in this part of the market. The same was true of several water and sewer bond deals that we believed provided us with good total return prospects.

With the Fund’s duration being slightly below our target level, we took advantage of several strategies to add interest rate sensitivity to the portfolio. In addition to buying suitable longer-dated opportunities when they presented themselves, we established a new inverse-floating-rate trust (see the inside back cover for more on inverse floaters), whose level of income varies inversely with interest rate movements. This position added to our duration as well as provided the portfolio with additional income earning potential. In addition, we established a forward interest-rate swap that enabled us to add duration without requiring us to sell existing positions that we found attractive or establish new holdings that we did not believe offered sufficient value.

Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund

The Missouri Fund’s duration was slightly short of our target. We were relatively underweighted in longer-duration securities, which generally performed well as longer-dated bonds saw their yields fall in the favorable market environment. However, those longer-duration bonds we did own – including non-callable zero-coupon bonds and currently callable high-coupon housing bonds – were some of our strongest performers. Also detracting from overall performance was our heavy representation in shorter-duration bonds – especially those with 2009 to 2011 call dates – which underperformed because of the general rise

 

Annual Report    Page 6


on short-term interest rates. Any negative duration-related impact, however, was more than made up for by the strong performance of our lower-rated bonds. Specifically, the Fund’s credit quality allocation was very helpful, with our weighting in the BBB-rated and nonrated bond categories benefiting the most. Many of our individual lower-rated positions saw price appreciation as their credit quality improved during the period.

For the first time in a long time, we were able to find a variety of attractively valued lower-rated bonds to purchase. When investing in this part of the market, we favored longer-dated maturities. While there was a significant amount of call activity in the portfolio, much of it came at a time when these lower-rated opportunities were coming to market – enabling us to put the funds to use effectively. Recent purchases included A, BBB, and non-rated health care credits, as well as non-rated tax-increment-financing district bonds. We also took advantage of AAA rated single-family housing bonds as well as some high-quality school district deals. These bonds tend to be relatively expensive, so we periodically bought them to stay fully invested, eventually replacing them with suitable lower-rated, higher-yielding securities when available.

Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund

Overall, the Ohio Fund’s duration positioning was helpful for performance, thanks primarily to our relative underweighting of bonds on the short end of the yield curve and a relative overweighting to better performing intermediate securities. The Fund also benefited from a positive contribution from our exposure to housing bonds, as well as from being modestly underweighted in AAA rated bonds. However, we were relatively underweighted in the BBB rating category, which benefited from continued favorable market conditions. In addition, the Fund had significant exposure to advance refunded bonds, and being overweighted in this underperforming sector was a negative.

As new money came into the portfolio through bond calls and interest payments, we were fairly active in making new purchases. Among our recent transactions, we identified good values in the health care sector and bought new lower-rated hospital bond issues. We also were active in the education sector, adding longer-dated bond issues that helped us manage the portfolio’s duration, which was slightly short of our desired target. As part of our duration-management efforts and to provide income to the portfolio, we added an inverse floater to the Fund (see the inside back cover for more on inverse floaters), similar to in the Michigan Fund.3

Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund

Our duration positioning was a negative for the Wisconsin Fund’s performance. Because Wisconsin municipal issuance tends to be shorter in duration relative to the national market, we were underexposed to the longest-duration bonds, which as a group performed well against a positive market backdrop. In addition, the Fund’s excess exposure to bonds with call dates ranging from 2009 to 2011 proved to be a negative, as these bonds generally were hurt the most as shorter-term rates rose during the period. Similarly, bonds that earlier had been advance refunded and now have final maturities of 2009 also underperformed.

In contrast, favorable security selection was a significant positive. Specifically, two large positions in a Milwaukee public school project were advanced refunded, providing significant price gains. In addition, we held relatively large positions in bonds of two BBB-rated Puerto Rico university credits. These holdings performed well, as market conditions favored lower-rated securities generally and Puerto Rico bonds specifically.


3 A financial instrument designed to pay long-term tax-exempt interest at a rate that varies inversely with a short-term tax-exempt interest rate index. For the Nuveen funds, that index is typically The Securities Industry and Financial Markets (SIFM) Municipal Swap Index (previously referred to as the Bond Market Association Index or BMA.) Inverse floaters, including those inverse floating rate securities the Funds invested in during the 12 month period, are further defined within the Notes to Financial Statements and Glossary of Terms Used in This Report sections of this shareholder report.

 

Annual Report    Page 7


As we have discussed in previous reports, it can be challenging for portfolio managers to find a sufficient supply of bonds exempt from Wisconsin state taxes to buy for the Fund. However, we were able to establish new positions in AA rated Wisconsin housing bonds. We obtained the proceeds for these purchases by selling similarly structured redevelopment bonds that offered a lower embedded yield. Because issuance of in-state paper was spotty during the year, we also took advantage of the Puerto Rico municipal market, buying non-callable Puerto Rico bonds to maintain our desired duration range. (Bonds issued by U.S. territories generally are fully tax-exempt in all 50 states). For the same reason, we also sold short-dated advance refunded bonds.

Dividend Information

Throughout the six-month period, five of the six Funds maintained their monthly tax-free dividend, while the Kentucky Fund saw one dividend reduction in February 2007.

 

Each Fund seeks to pay dividends at a rate that reflects the past and projected performance of the Fund. To permit a Fund to maintain a more stable monthly dividend, the Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If the Fund has cumulatively

earned more than it has paid in dividends, it will hold the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund’s net asset value. Conversely, if the Fund has cumulatively paid in dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute 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 May 31, 2007, the Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin Funds had negative UNII balances for financial statement purposes and positive UNII balances for tax purposes. The Kansas Fund had positive UNII balances for both financial statement and tax purposes.

Class A share returns are actual. Class B, C and R share returns are actual for the period since class inception; returns prior to class inception are Class A share returns adjusted for differences in sales charges and (in the case of Classes B and C) expenses, which are primarily differences in distribution and service fees. Class A shares have a 4.2% maximum sales charge. Class B shares have a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC), also known as a back-end sales charge, that for redemptions begins at 5% and declines periodically until after 6 years when the charge becomes 0%. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class C shares have a 1% CDSC for redemptions within less than one year, which is not reflected in the one-year total return. Class R shares have no sales charge and may be purchased under limited circumstances or by specified classes of investors.

The net expense ratio reflects a custody fee credit from the custodian bank whereby certain fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. There is no guarantee that the Fund will earn such credits in the future. Absent the credit, expenses would be higher and total returns would be less. This expense ratio may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include expense waivers or reimbursements.

 


 

1 Paid June 1, 2007. This is the latest monthly tax-exempt dividend declared during the period ended May 31, 2007.

 

2 Dividend Yield is the most recent dividend per share (annualized) divided by the appropriate price per share. The SEC 30-Day Yield is a standardized measure of the current market yield on the Fund’s portfolio and is based on the maximum offer price per share. The Dividend Yield also differs from the SEC 30-Day Yield because the Fund may be paying out more or less than it is earning and it may not include the effect of amortization of bond premium.

 

3 The SEC 30-Day Yield and Taxable-Equivalent Yield on A Shares at NAV applies only to A Shares purchased at no-load pursuant to the Fund’s policy permitting waiver of the A Share load in certain specified circumstances.

 

4 The Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an after-tax basis at a specified tax rate. With respect to investments that generate qualified dividend income that is taxable at a maximum rate of 15%, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower. The Taxable-Equivalent Yield is based on the Fund’s SEC 30-Day Yield on the indicated date and a combined federal and state income tax rate of 32.6%.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including front and back end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees, where applicable; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the period.

The information under “Actual Performance,” together with the amount you invested, allows you to estimate actual expenses incurred over the reporting period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the cost shown for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Incurred During Period” to estimate the expenses incurred on your account during this period.

The information under “Hypothetical Performance,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you incurred for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other Funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front and back end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds or share classes. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

For each class of the Fund, expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio of .84%, 1.60%, 1.39% and .63% for Classes A, B, C and R, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Taxable-Equivalent Yield is based on the Fund’s SEC 30-Day Yield on the indicated date and a combined federal and state income tax rate of 32.3%.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including front and back end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees, where applicable; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the period.

The information under “Actual Performance,” together with the amount you invested, allows you to estimate actual expenses incurred over the reporting period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the cost shown for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Incurred During Period” to estimate the expenses incurred on your account during this period.

The information under “Hypothetical Performance,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you incurred for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other Funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front and back end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds or share classes. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The net expense ratio reflects a custody fee credit from the custodian bank whereby certain fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. There is no guarantee that the Fund will earn such credits in the future. Absent the credit, expenses would be higher and total returns would be less. This expense ratio may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include expense waivers or reimbursements.

 


 

1 Paid June 1, 2007. This is the latest monthly tax-exempt dividend declared during the period ended May 31, 2007.

 

2 Paid December 5, 2006. Capital gains and/or ordinary income are subject to federal taxation.

 

3 Dividend Yield is the most recent dividend per share (annualized) divided by the appropriate price per share. The SEC 30-Day Yield is a standardized measure of the current market yield on the Fund’s portfolio and is based on the maximum offer price per share. The Dividend Yield also differs from the SEC 30-Day Yield because the Fund may be paying out more or less than it is earning and it may not include the effect of amortization of bond premium.

 

4 The SEC 30-Day Yield and Taxable-Equivalent Yield on A Shares at NAV applies only to A Shares purchased at no-load pursuant to the Fund’s policy permitting waiver of the A Share load in certain specified circumstances.

 

5 The Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an after-tax basis at a specified tax rate. With respect to investments that generate qualified dividend income that is taxable at a maximum rate of 15%, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower. The Taxable-Equivalent Yield is based on the Fund’s SEC 30-Day Yield on the indicated date and a combined federal and state income tax rate of 30.8%.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including front and back end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees, where applicable; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the period.

The information under “Actual Performance,” together with the amount you invested, allows you to estimate actual expenses incurred over the reporting period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the cost shown for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Incurred During Period” to estimate the expenses incurred on your account during this period.

The information under “Hypothetical Performance,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you incurred for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other Funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front and back end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds or share classes. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Returns quoted represent past performance which is no guarantee of future results. Returns without sales charges would be lower if the sales charge were included. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of shares. Income is generally exempt from regular federal income taxes. Some income may be subject to state and local taxes and to the federal alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to tax. For the most recent month-end performance visit www.nuveen.com or call (800) 257-8787.

Class A and C share returns are actual. Class B and R share returns are actual for the period since class inception; returns prior to class inception are Class A share returns adjusted for differences in sales charges and (in the case of Class B) expenses, which are primarily differences in distribution and service fees. Class A shares have a 4.2% maximum sales charge. Class B shares have a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC), also known as a back-end sales charge, that for redemptions begins at 5% and declines periodically until after 6 years when the charge becomes 0%. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class C shares have a 1% CDSC for redemptions within less than one year, which is not reflected in the one-year total return. Class R shares have no sales charge and may be purchased under limited circumstances or by specified classes of investors.

The Taxable-Equivalent Yield is based on the Fund’s SEC 30-Day Yield on the indicated date and a combined federal and state income tax rate of 32.3%.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including front and back end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees, where applicable; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the period.

The information under “Actual Performance,” together with the amount you invested, allows you to estimate actual expenses incurred over the reporting period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the cost shown for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Incurred During Period” to estimate the expenses incurred on your account during this period.

The information under “Hypothetical Performance,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you incurred for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other Funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front and back end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds or share classes. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including front and back end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees, where applicable; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the period.

The information under “Actual Performance,” together with the amount you invested, allows you to estimate actual expenses incurred over the reporting period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the cost shown for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Incurred During Period” to estimate the expenses incurred on your account during this period.

The information under “Hypothetical Performance,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you incurred for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other Funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front and back end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds or share classes. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Returns quoted represent past performance which is no guarantee of future results. Returns without sales charges would be lower if the sales charge were included. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of shares. Income is generally exempt from regular federal income taxes. Some income may be subject to state and local taxes and to the federal alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to tax. For the most recent month-end performance visit www.nuveen.com or call (800) 257-8787.

Class A share returns are actual. Class B, C and R share returns are actual for the period since class inception; returns prior to class inception are Class A share returns adjusted for differences in sales charges and (in the case of Classes B and C) expenses, which are primarily differences in distribution and service fees. Class A shares have a 4.2% maximum sales charge. Class B shares have a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC), also known as a back-end sales charge, that for redemptions begins at 5% and declines periodically until after 6 years when the charge becomes 0%. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class C shares have a 1% CDSC for redemptions within less than one year, which is not reflected in the one-year total return. Class R shares have no sales charge and may be purchased under limited circumstances or by specified classes of investors.

The net expense ratio reflects a custody fee credit from the custodian bank whereby certain fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. There is no guarantee that the Fund will earn such credits in the future. Absent the credit, expenses would be higher and total returns would be less. This expense ratio may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include expense waivers or reimbursements.

 


 

1 Paid June 1, 2007. This is the latest monthly tax-exempt dividend declared during the period ended May 31, 2007.

 

2 Paid December 5, 2006. Capital gains are subject to federal taxation.

 

3 Dividend Yield is the most recent dividend per share (annualized) divided by the appropriate price per share. The SEC 30-Day Yield is a standardized measure of the current market yield on the Fund’s portfolio and is based on the maximum offer price per share. The Dividend Yield also differs from the SEC 30-Day Yield because the Fund may be paying out more or less than it is earning and it may not include the effect of amortization of bond premium.

 

4 The SEC 30-Day Yield and Taxable-Equivalent Yield on A Shares at NAV applies only to A Shares purchased at no-load pursuant to the Fund’s policy permitting waiver of the A Share load in certain specified circumstances.

 

5 The Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an after-tax basis at a specified tax rate. With respect to investments that generate qualified dividend income that is taxable at a maximum rate of 15%, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower. The Taxable-Equivalent Yield is based on the Fund’s SEC 30-Day Yield on the indicated date and a combined federal and state income tax rate of 32.9%.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including front and back end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees, where applicable; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the period.

The information under “Actual Performance,” together with the amount you invested, allows you to estimate actual expenses incurred over the reporting period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the cost shown for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Incurred During Period” to estimate the expenses incurred on your account during this period.

The information under “Hypothetical Performance,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you incurred for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other Funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front and back end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds or share classes. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

      The Fund may invest in “zero coupon” securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. Such securities are included in the portfolio with a 0.00% coupon rate in their description. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.

 

 

  (1)   Optional Call Provisions (not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm): Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns.

 

  (2)   Ratings (not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm): Using the higher of Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s Group or Baa by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. are considered to be below investment grade.

 

  (3)   Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Such investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA rated securities.

 

  (4)   The issuer has received a formal adverse determination from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the tax-exempt status of the bonds’ coupon payments. The Fund will continue to treat coupon payments as tax-exempt income until such time it is formally determined that the interest on the bonds should be treated as taxable.

 

  (5)   Portion of the investment, with an aggregate market value of $277,727, has been pledged to collateralize the net payment obligations under forward swap contracts.

 

  (6)   Effective date represents the date on which both the Fund and counterparty commence interest payment accruals on each forward swap contract.

 

  N/R   Not rated.

 

  (IF)   Inverse floating rate investment.

 

  (UB)   Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 140.

      The Fund may invest in “zero coupon” securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. Such securities are included in the portfolio with a 0.00% coupon rate in their description. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.

 

 

  (1)   Optional Call Provisions (not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm): Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns.

 

  (2)   Ratings (not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm): Using the higher of Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s Group or Baa by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. are considered to be below investment grade.

 

  (3)   Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Such investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA rated securities.

 

  (4)   Effective date represents the date on which both the Fund and counterparty commence interest payment accruals on each forward swap contract.

 

  N/R   Not rated.

 

  WI/DD   Purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.

 

  (ETM)   Escrowed to maturity.

 

  (IF)   Inverse floating rate investment.

 

  (UB)   Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 140.

       The Fund may invest in “zero coupon” securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. Such securities are included in the portfolio with a 0.00% coupon rate in their description. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.

 

  (1)   Optional Call Provisions (not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm): Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns.

 

  (2)   Ratings (not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm): Using the higher of Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s Group or Baa by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. are considered to be below investment grade.

 

  (3)   Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Such investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA rated securities.

 

  N/R   Not rated.

 

  (ETM)   Escrowed to maturity.

 

  (UB)   Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 140.

      The Fund may invest in “zero coupon” securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. Such securities are included in the portfolio with a 0.00% coupon rate in their description. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
  (1)   Optional Call Provisions (not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm): Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns.

 

  (2)   Ratings (not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm): Using the higher of Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s Group or Baa by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. are considered to be below investment grade.

 

  (3)   Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Such investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA rated securities.

 

  (4)   Investment has a maturity of more than one year, but has variable rate and demand features which qualify it as a short-term investment. The rate disclosed is that in effect at the end of the reporting period. This rate changes periodically based on market conditions or a specified market index.

 

  N/R   Not rated.

 

  WI/DD   Purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.

 

  (ETM)   Escrowed to maturity.

 

  (IF)   Inverse floating rate investment.

 

  (UB)   Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 140.

       The Fund may invest in “zero coupon” securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. Such securities are included in the portfolio with a 0.00% coupon rate in their description. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.

 

  (1)   Optional Call Provisions (not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm): Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns.

 

  (2)   Ratings (not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm): Using the higher of Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s Group or Baa by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. are considered to be below investment grade.

 

  (3)   Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Such investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA rated securities.

 

  N/R   Not rated.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies

The Nuveen Multistate Trust IV (the “Trust”) is an open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trust is comprised of Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund (“Kansas”), Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund (“Kentucky”), Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund (“Michigan”), Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund (“Missouri”), Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund (“Ohio”) and Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund (“Wisconsin”) (collectively, the “Funds”). The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on July 1, 1996. The Funds were each organized as a series of predecessor trusts or corporations prior to that date.

The Funds seek to provide high levels of tax-free income and preservation of capital through investments in diversified portfolios of quality municipal bonds.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Investment Valuation

The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund’s investment portfolio are provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. When market price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal securities), the pricing service may establish fair value based on yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, indications of value from securities dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral and general market conditions. Prices of forward swap contracts are also provided by an independent pricing service approved by each Fund’s Board of Trustees. If the pricing service is unable to supply a price for a municipal bond or forward swap contract, each Fund may use a market price or fair market value quote provided by a major broker/dealer in such investments. If it is determined that the market price or fair market value for an investment is unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish a fair value for the investment. Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Investment Transactions

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At May 31, 2007, Michigan and Ohio had outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments of $2,275,498 and $4,646,732, respectively. There were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the other Funds.

Investment Income

Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Investment income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any.

Income Taxes

Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all 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 which will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and designated state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Tax-exempt net investment income is declared monthly as a dividend. Generally, payment is made or reinvestment is credited to shareholder accounts on the first business day after month-end. Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders not less frequently than annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.

Distributions to shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Flexible Sales Charge Program

Each Fund offers Class A, B, C and R Shares. Class A Shares are generally sold with an up-front sales charge and incur a .20% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class A Share purchases of $1 million or more are sold at net asset value without an up-front sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if redeemed within 18 months of purchase. Class B Shares are sold without an up-front sales charge but incur a .75% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a .20% annual 12b-1 service fee. An investor purchasing Class B Shares agrees to pay a CDSC of up to 5% depending upon the length of time the shares are held by the investor (CDSC is reduced to 0% at the end of six years). Class B Shares convert to Class A Shares eight years after purchase. Class C Shares are sold without an up-front sales charge but incur a .55% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a .20% annual

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

12b-1 service fee. An investor purchasing Class C Shares agrees to pay a CDSC of 1% if Class C Shares are redeemed within one year of purchase. Class R Shares are not subject to any sales charge or 12b-1 distribution or service fees. Class R Shares are available only under limited circumstances.

Inverse Floating Rate Securities

Each Fund may invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. In turn, this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in face amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, that typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties, and (b) issues to a long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) that represents all remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received by the inverse floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the inverse floater holder bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. The price of an inverse floating rate security will be more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates, and because the inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of loss of the greater face value of the underlying bond.

A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an “externally-deposited inverse floater”), or instead by first selling a fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a “self-deposited inverse floater”). An investment in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as an “Inverse floating rate investment”. An investment in a self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities”. In such instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as an “Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust”, with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate certificates issued by the trust as “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in Investment Income the entire earnings of the underlying bond and accounts for the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as “Floating rate obligations interest expense and fees” in the Statement of Operations.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio invested in externally deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters. Kansas and Wisconsin did not invest in any such instruments during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007.

The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest rate and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, were as follows:

 

      Kentucky    Michigan    Missouri    Ohio

Average floating rate obligations

   $ 9,805,000    $ 4,000,000    $ 2,775,137    $ 21,290,178

Average annual interest rate and fees

     3.87%      3.85%      3.85%      3.81%

Forward Swap Transactions

The Funds are authorized to invest in certain derivative financial instruments. Each Fund’s use of forward interest rate swap transactions is intended to help the Fund manage its overall interest rate sensitivity, either shorter or longer, generally to more closely align the Fund’s interest rate sensitivity with that of the broader municipal market. Forward interest rate swap transactions involve each Fund’s agreement with a counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or variable rate payment in exchange for the counterparty 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 forward swap contract and the termination date of the swap (which is akin to a bond’s maturity). The value of the Fund’s swap commitment would increase or decrease based primarily on the extend to which long-term interest rates for bonds having a maturity of the swap’s termination date increases or decreases. The Funds may terminate a swap contract prior to the effective date, at which point a realized gain or loss is recognized. When a forward swap is terminated, it ordinarily does not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal, but rather is settled in cash on a net basis. Each Fund intends, but is not obligated, to terminate its forward swaps before the effective date. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to the credit risk associated with a counterparty failing to honor its commitment to pay any realized gain to the Fund upon termination. To reduce such credit risk, all counterparties are required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of each swap) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when any of the Funds have an unrealized loss on a swap contract, 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 swap valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount.

 


66


Expense Allocation

Expenses of the Funds that are not directly attributable to a specific class of shares are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Expenses directly attributable to a class of shares, which presently only include 12b-1 distribution and service fees, are recorded to the specific class.

Custodian Fee Credit

Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on which the Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.

Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

4. Income Tax Information

The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to the treatment of paydown gains and losses, 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 transactions subject to SFAS No. 140. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented in the annual report, based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset values of the Funds.

5. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Each Fund’s management fee is separated into two components – a complex-level component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by Nuveen Asset Management (the “Adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”), and a specific fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets within each individual fund. This pricing structure enables Nuveen fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within each individual fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.

The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is based upon the average daily net assets of each Fund as follows:

 

Average Daily Net Assets    Fund-Level Fee Rate  

For the first $125 million

   .3500 %

For the next $125 million

   .3375  

For the next $250 million

   .3250  

For the next $500 million

   .3125  

For the next $1 billion

   .3000  

For the next $3 billion

   .2750  

For net assets over $5 billion

   .2500  

 


71


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which is additive to the fund-level fee, for all Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S., is based on the aggregate amount of total fund assets managed as stated in the table below. As of May 31, 2007, the complex-level fee rate was .1824%.

 

Complex-Level Assets(1)    Complex-Level Fee Rate  

For the first $55 billion

   .2000 %

For the next $1 billion

   .1800  

For the next $1 billion

   .1600  

For the next $3 billion

   .1425  

For the next $3 billion

   .1325  

For the next $3 billion

   .1250  

For the next $5 billion

   .1200  

For the next $5 billion

   .1175  

For the next $15 billion

   .1150  

For Managed Assets over $91 billion(2)

   .1400  

 

(1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is calculated based upon the aggregate Managed Assets (“Managed Assets” means the average daily net assets of each fund including assets attributable to preferred stock issued by or borrowings by the Nuveen funds) of Nuveen-sponsored funds in the U.S.

 

(2) With respect to the complex-wide Managed Assets over $91 billion, the fee rate or rates that will apply to such assets will be determined at a later date. In the unlikely event that complex-wide Managed Assets reach $91 billion prior to a determination of the complex-level fee rate or rates to be applied to Managed Assets in excess of $91 billion, the complex-level fee rate for such complex-wide Managed Assets shall be .1400% until such time as a different rate or rates is determined.

The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Trust pays no compensation directly to those of its Trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its Officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent Trustees that enables Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen advised funds.

The Adviser has agreed to waive part of its management fees or reimburse certain expenses of Ohio in order to limit total expenses (excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees, interest expense and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding .75% of the average daily net assets. The Adviser may also voluntarily reimburse additional expenses from time to time in any of the Funds. Voluntary reimbursements may be terminated at any time at the Adviser’s discretion.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, Nuveen Investments, LLC (the “Distributor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen, collected sales charges on purchases of Class A Shares, the majority of which were paid out as concessions to authorized dealers as follows:

 

      Kansas    Kentucky    Michigan    Missouri    Ohio    Wisconsin

Sales charges collected (unaudited)

   $ 128,230    $ 500,548    $ 142,708    $ 258,104    $ 352,587    $ 165,952

Paid to authorized dealers (unaudited)

     112,326      424,058      125,151      223,180      307,254      142,396

The Distributor also received 12b-1 service fees on Class A Shares, substantially all of which were paid to compensate authorized dealers for providing services to shareholders relating to their investments.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Distributor compensated authorized dealers directly with commission advances at the time of purchase as follows:

 

      Kansas    Kentucky    Michigan    Missouri    Ohio    Wisconsin

Commission advances (unaudited)

   $ 55,322    $ 78,605    $ 65,350    $ 52,688    $ 135,407    $ 35,257

To compensate for commissions advanced to authorized dealers, all 12b-1 service fees collected on Class B Shares during the first year following a purchase, all 12b-1 distribution fees collected on Class B Shares, and all 12b-1 service and distribution fees collected on Class C Shares during the first year following a purchase are retained by the Distributor. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Distributor retained such 12b-1 fees as follows:

 

      Kansas    Kentucky    Michigan    Missouri    Ohio    Wisconsin

12b-1 fees retained (unaudited)

   $ 69,024    $ 146,595    $ 91,148    $ 84,812    $ 199,830    $ 31,502

6. New Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Recent SEC guidance allows funds to delay implementing FIN 48 into NAV calculations until the fund’s last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Funds must begin to incorporate FIN 48 into their NAV calculations by November 30, 2007. At this time, management is continuing to evaluate the implications of FIN 48 and does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 will have a significant impact on the net assets or results of operations of the Funds.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this standard relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of May 31, 2007, the Funds do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements included within the Statement of Operations for the period.

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On June 20, 2007, Nuveen Investments announced that it had entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with an investor group majority-led by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC. Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC is a private equity investment firm based in Chicago, Illinois. The investor group includes affiliates of Merrill Lynch, Wachovia, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley. It is anticipated that Merrill Lynch and its affiliates will be indirect “affiliated persons” (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Funds. Under the terms of the merger, each outstanding share of Nuveen Investments’ common stock (other than dissenting shares) will be converted into the right to receive a specified amount of cash, without interest. The merger is expected to be completed by the end of the year, subject to customary conditions, including obtaining the approval of Nuveen Investments shareholders, obtaining necessary fund and client consents sufficient to satisfy the terms of the Merger Agreement, and expiration of certain regulatory waiting periods. The obligations of Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC to consummate the merger are not conditioned on its obtaining financing. The Merger Agreement includes a “go shop” provision through July 19, 2007, during which Nuveen Investments may actively solicit and negotiate competing takeover proposals.

The consummation of the merger will be deemed to be an “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the investment management agreement between each Fund and the Adviser, and will result in the automatic termination of each Fund’s agreement. Prior to the consummation of the merger, it is anticipated that the Board of Trustees of each Fund will consider a new investment management agreement with the Adviser. If approved by the Board, the new agreement would be presented to the Fund’s shareholders for approval, and, if so approved by shareholders, would take effect upon consummation of the merger. There can be no assurance that the merger described above will be consummated as contemplated or that necessary shareholder approvals will be obtained.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of

Nuveen Multistate Trust IV:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund (constituting the Nuveen Multistate Trust IV, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at May 31, 2007, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at May 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process

The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the performance of the investment adviser to the Funds and determining whether to continue the advisory arrangements. At a meeting held on May 21-23, 2007 (the “May Meeting”), the Board of Trustees of the Funds, including the independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Management Agreement between each Fund and NAM (the “Fund Adviser”).

The Approval Process

During the course of the year, the Board received a wide variety of materials relating to the services provided by the Fund Adviser and the performance of the Funds. At each of its quarterly meetings, the Board reviews investment performance and various matters relating to the respective Fund’s operations, including the Fund’s compliance program, shareholder services, valuation, custody, distribution and other information relating to the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Fund Adviser. Between the regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, the Trustees received information on particular matters as the need arose. In considering whether to renew the respective advisory contract with the Fund Adviser at the May Meeting, the independent Trustees also received extensive materials well in advance of their meeting which outlined, among other things:

 

   

the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Fund Adviser;

 

   

the organization and business operations of the Fund Adviser, including the responsibilities of various departments and key personnel;

 

   

the Fund’s past performance as well as the Fund’s performance compared to funds with similar investment objectives based on data and information provided by an independent third party and to recognized and/or customized benchmarks (as appropriate);

 

   

the profitability of the Fund Adviser and certain industry profitability analyses for unaffiliated advisers;

 

   

the expenses of the Fund Adviser in providing the various services;

 

   

the advisory fees and total expense ratios of the Fund, including comparisons of such fees and expenses with those of comparable, unaffiliated funds based on information and data provided by an independent third party (the “Peer Universe”) as well as compared to a subset of funds within the Peer Universe (the “Peer Group”) of the respective Fund (as applicable);

 

   

the advisory fees the Fund Adviser assesses to other types of investment products or clients;

 

   

the soft dollar practices of the Fund Adviser, if any; and

   

from independent legal counsel, a legal memorandum describing among other things, applicable laws, regulations and duties in reviewing and approving advisory contracts.

At the May Meeting, NAM made a presentation to and responded to questions from the Board.

Prior to and after the presentations and reviewing the written materials, the independent Trustees met privately with their legal counsel to review the Board’s duties in reviewing advisory contracts and consider the renewal of the advisory contracts. The independent Trustees, in consultation with independent counsel, reviewed the factors set out in judicial decisions and SEC directives relating to the renewal of advisory contracts. As outlined in more detail below, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant with respect to each Fund, including, but not limited to, the following: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Fund Adviser; (b) the investment performance of the Fund and the Fund Adviser; (c) the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Fund Adviser and its affiliates; (d) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized; and (e) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. In addition, as noted, the Trustees met regularly throughout the year to oversee the Funds. In evaluating the advisory contracts, the Trustees also relied upon their knowledge resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year of the Fund Adviser, its services and the Funds. It is with this background that the Trustees considered each advisory contract.

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

In reviewing the Fund Adviser, the Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the Fund Adviser’s services. The Trustees reviewed materials outlining, among other things, the Fund Adviser’s organization and business; the types of services that the Fund Adviser or its affiliates provide and are expected to provide to the Funds; the performance record of the applicable Fund (as described in further detail below); and any initiatives Nuveen has taken for the applicable fund product line. As noted, the Trustees are already familiar with the organization, operations and personnel of the Fund Adviser due to the Trustees’ experience in governing the respective Fund and working with NAM on matters relating to the Funds. With respect to personnel, the Trustees also recognized NAM’s investment in additional qualified personnel throughout the various groups in the organization and recommended to NAM that it continue to review staffing needs as necessary. In addition, with respect to the municipal funds advised by NAM, the Trustees reviewed materials describing the current status and, in particular, the developments in 2006 with respect to NAM’s investment process, investment strategies (including additional tools used in executing such strategies), personnel (including portfolio management and research teams), trading process, hedging team, risk management team (e.g., reviewing credit quality, duration limits, derivative use, as applicable), and investment operations (such as, enhancements to trading procedures, pricing procedures, and client services). The Trustees recognized NAM’s investment of resources and efforts to continue to enhance and refine its investment process.

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (continued)

 

In addition to advisory services, the independent Trustees considered the quality of any administrative or non-advisory services provided. With respect to NAM, NAM provides the Funds with a wide variety of services and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the respective Fund, including,

   

product management;

 

   

fund administration;

 

   

oversight of shareholder services and other fund service providers;

 

   

administration of Board relations;

 

   

regulatory and portfolio compliance; and

 

   

legal support services.

As the Funds operate in a highly regulated industry and given the importance of compliance, the Trustees considered, in particular, NAM’s compliance activities for the Funds and enhancements thereto. In this regard, the Trustees recognized the quality of NAM’s compliance team. The Trustees further noted NAM’s negotiations with other service providers and the corresponding reduction in certain service providers’ fees.

Based on their review, the Trustees found that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the respective Funds under the applicable Investment Management Agreement were satisfactory.

B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and Fund Adviser

The Board considered the investment performance for each Fund, including the Fund’s historic performance as well as its performance compared to funds with similar investment objectives (the “Performance Peer Group”) based on data provided by an independent third party (as described below). With respect to municipal funds, the Trustees reviewed portfolio level performance against customized benchmarks, as described in further detail below.

In evaluating the performance information, in certain instances, the Trustees noted that the closest Performance Peer Group for a Fund may not adequately reflect such Fund’s investment objectives and strategies, thereby limiting the usefulness of the comparisons of such Fund’s performance with that of the Performance Peer Group. These Performance Peer Groups include those for: the Nuveen National Intermediate Duration Bond Fund (although this fund is reclassified in a more appropriate peer group for 2007).

In addition to the foregoing, with respect to state specific municipal funds, the Trustees also recognized that certain state municipal funds do not have a corresponding state specific Performance Peer Group in which case their performance is measured against a more general municipal category for various states. The open-end state municipal funds that utilize the more general category are the Nuveen New Mexico Municipal Bond Fund and the Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund.

With respect to municipal funds, the Trustees reviewed performance information including, among other things, total return information compared with the Fund’s Performance Peer Group for the one-, three- and five-year periods (as applicable) ending December 31, 2006. The Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s portfolio level performance (which does not reflect fund level fees and expenses) compared to customized portfolio-level benchmarks for the one- and three-year periods ending December 31, 2006 (as applicable). This analysis is designed to assess the efficacy of investment decisions against appropriate measures of risk and total return, within specific market segments. This information supplements the Fund performance information provided to the Board at each of its quarterly meetings. Based on their review, the Trustees determined that the respective Fund’s absolute and relative investment performance over time had been satisfactory.

C. Fees, Expenses and Profitability

1. Fees and Expenses

In evaluating the management fees and expenses of a Fund, the Board reviewed, among other things, the Fund’s advisory fees (net and gross management fees) and total expense ratios (before and after expense reimbursements and/or waivers) in absolute terms as well as comparisons to the gross management fees (before waivers), net management fees (after waivers) and total expense ratios (before and after waivers) of comparable funds in the Peer Universe and the Peer Group. In reviewing the fee schedule for a Fund, the Trustees considered the fund-level and complex-wide breakpoint schedules (described in further detail below) and any fee waivers and reimbursements provided by Nuveen. The Trustees further reviewed data regarding the construction of Peer Groups as well as the methods of measurement for the fee and expense analysis and the performance analysis. In certain cases, due to the small number of peers in the Peer Universe, the Peer Universe and Peer Group may be the same. In reviewing the comparison of fee and expense information, the Trustees recognized that in certain cases, the Fund size relative to peers, the small size and odd composition of the Peer Group (including differences in objectives and strategies), expense anomalies, timing of information used or other factors impact the comparisons thereby limiting some of their usefulness. Based on their review of the fee and expense information provided, the Trustees determined that each Fund’s net total expense ratio was within an acceptable range compared to peers.

2. Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients

The Trustees further reviewed data comparing the advisory fees of NAM with fees NAM charges to other clients. With respect to municipal funds, such other clients include municipal managed accounts. In general, the advisory fees charged for separate accounts are somewhat lower than the advisory fees assessed to the Funds. The Trustees considered the differences in the product types, including, but not limited to, the services provided, the structure and operations, product distribution and costs thereof, portfolio investment policies, investor profiles, account sizes and regulatory requirements. The Trustees noted, in particular, that the range of services provided to the Funds (as discussed above) is more extensive than that provided to separately managed accounts. As described in further detail above, such additional services include, but are not limited to, providing: product management, fund administration, oversight of third party service providers, administration of Board relations, and legal support. Funds further operate in a highly regulated industry requiring extensive compliance functions compared to the other investment products. Given the inherent differences in the products, particularly the extensive services provided to the Funds, the Trustees believe such facts justify the different levels of fees.

3. Profitability of Fund Advisers

In conjunction with its review of fees, the Trustees also considered the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities (which incorporated Nuveen’s wholly-owned affiliated sub-advisers) and its financial condition. The Trustees reviewed the revenues and expenses of Nuveen’s advisory activities for the last three years, the allocation methodology used in preparing the profitability data as well as the 2006 Annual Report for Nuveen. The Trustees noted this information supplements the profitability information requested and received during the year to help keep them apprised of developments affecting profitability (such as changes in fee waivers and expense reimbursement commitments). In this regard, the Trustees noted the enhanced dialogue and information regarding profitability with NAM during the year, including more frequent meetings and updates from Nuveen’s corporate finance group. The Trustees also reviewed data comparing Nuveen’s profitability with other fund sponsors prepared by three independent third party service providers as well as comparisons of the revenues, expenses and profit margins of various unaffiliated management firms with similar amounts of assets under management prepared by Nuveen.

In reviewing profitability, the Trustees have recognized the subjective nature in determining profitability which may be affected by numerous factors, including, the allocation of expenses. Further, the Trustees have recognized the difficulties in making comparisons as the profitability of other advisers generally is not publicly available and the profitability information that is available for certain advisers or management firms may not be representative of the industry and may be affected by, among other things, the adviser’s particular business mix, capital costs, types of funds managed and expense allocations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustees reviewed Nuveen’s methodology and assumptions for allocating expenses across product lines to determine profitability. Last year, the Trustees also designated an independent Trustee as a point person for the Board to review the methodology determinations during the year and any refinements thereto and report back to them. The Trustees also reviewed the comparisons of Nuveen’s profitability margins (including pre- and post-marketing profit margins) with the profitability of various unaffiliated management firms. In reviewing profitability, the Trustees recognized Nuveen’s increased investment into its fund business. Based on its review, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied that Nuveen’s level of profitability for its advisory activities was reasonable in light of the services provided.

In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Trustees also considered any other revenues paid to the Fund Adviser as well as any indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements, if any) the Fund Adviser and its affiliates are expected to receive that are directly attributable to their management of the Funds, if any. See Section E below for additional information. Based on their review of the overall fee arrangements of the applicable Fund, the Trustees determined that the advisory fees and expenses of the respective Fund were reasonable.

D. Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale

With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees recognized the potential benefits resulting from the costs of a Fund being spread over a larger asset base. To help ensure the shareholders share in these benefits, the Trustees have reviewed and considered the breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules that reduce advisory fees. In addition to advisory fee breakpoints, the Board also approved in 2004 a complex-wide fee arrangement. Pursuant to the complex-wide fee arrangement, the fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex, including the Funds, are reduced as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. In evaluating the complex-wide fee arrangement, the Trustees noted that the last breakpoint for the complex-wide fee schedule is at the $91 billion level and anticipate further review and/or negotiations prior to the assets of the Nuveen complex reaching such threshold. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the breakpoint schedule and complex-wide fee arrangement currently was acceptable and desirable in providing benefits from economies of scale to shareholders subject to further evaluation of the complex-wide fee schedule as assets in the complex increase.

E. Indirect Benefits

In evaluating fees, the Trustees also considered any indirect benefits or profits the Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with each Fund. In this regard, with respect to open-end funds, the Trustees considered, among other things, any sales charges and distribution fees received and retained by the Funds’ principal underwriter, Nuveen Investments, LLC, an affiliate of NAM. The Trustees also recognized that an affiliate of NAM provides distribution and shareholder services to the

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (continued)

 

Funds and their shareholders for which it may be compensated pursuant to a 12b-1 plan. The Trustees, therefore, considered the 12b-1 fees retained by Nuveen during the last calendar year.

In addition to the above, the Trustees considered whether the Fund Adviser received any benefits from soft dollar arrangements whereby a portion of the commissions paid by a Fund for brokerage may be used to acquire research that may be useful to the Fund Adviser in managing the assets of the Fund and other clients. With respect to NAM, the Trustees noted that NAM does not currently have any soft dollar arrangements; however, to the extent certain bona fide agency transactions that occur on markets that traditionally trade on a principal basis and riskless principal transactions are considered as generating “commissions,” NAM intends to comply with the applicable safe harbor provisions.

F. Other Considerations

The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously concluded that the terms of the NAM Investment Management Agreements are fair and reasonable, that the Fund Adviser’s fees are reasonable in light of the services provided to each Fund and that the renewal of the NAM Investment Management Agreements should be approved.

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report

Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly used method to express an investment’s performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investment’s actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or offer price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered.

Average Effective Maturity: The average of the number of years to maturity of the bonds in a Fund’s portfolio, computed by weighting each bond’s time to maturity (the date the security comes due) by the market value of the security. This figure does not account for the likelihood of prepayments or the exercise of call provisions unless an escrow account has been established to redeem the bond before maturity. The market value weighting for an investment in an inverse floating rate security is the value of the portfolio’s residual interest in the inverse floating rate trust, and does not include the value of the floating rate securities issued by the trust.

Average Duration: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bond’s principal and interest will be paid, and

consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond’s (or bond fund’s) value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond or Fund’s duration, the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as interest rates change.

Dividend Yield (also known as Market Yield or Current Yield): An investment’s current annualized dividend divided by its current offering price.

Inverse Floaters: Inverse floating rate securities 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.

Net Asset Value (NAV): A Fund’s NAV is the dollar value of one share in the Fund. It is calculated by subtracting the liabilities of the Fund from its total assets and then dividing the remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day.

SEC 30-Day Yield: A standardized measure of a Fund’s yield that accounts for the future amortization of premiums or discounts of bonds held in the Fund’s portfolio.

Taxable-Equivalent Yield: The yield necessary from a fully taxable investment to equal, on an after-tax basis at a specified assumed tax rate, the yield of a municipal bond investment.

 


 

Quarterly Portfolio of Investments and Proxy Voting information: Each Fund’s (i) quarterly portfolio of investments, (ii) information regarding how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30, 2006, and (iii) a description of the policies and procedures that the Funds used to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities are available without charge, upon request, by calling Nuveen Investments at (800) 257-8787 or on Nuveen’s website at www.nuveen.com.

You may also obtain this and other fund information directly from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The SEC may charge a copying fee for this information. Visit the SEC on-line at http://www.sec.gov or in person at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Call the SEC at 1-202-942-8090 for room hours and operation. You may also request fund information by sending an e-mail request to publicinfo@sec.gov or by writing to the SEC’s Public Reference Section at 450 Fifth Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20549.

 


 

NASD Regulation, Inc. provides a Public Disclosure Program which supplies certain information regarding the disciplinary history of NASD members and their associated persons in response to either telephone inquiries at (800) 289-9999 or written inquiries at www.nasdr.com. NASD Regulation, Inc. also provides an investor brochure that includes information describing the Public Disclosure Program.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. There were no amendments to or waivers from the code during the period covered by this report. The registrant has posted the code of ethics on its website at www.nuveen.com/mf. (To view the code, click on the Investor Resources drop down menu box, click on Fund Governance and then click on Code of Conduct.)

ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

The registrant’s board of directors determined that the registrant has at least one “audit committee financial expert” (as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR) serving on its Audit Committee. The registrant’s audit committee financial expert is Jack B. Evans, Chairman of the Audit Committee, who is “independent” for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

Mr. Evans was formerly President and Chief Operating Office of SCI Financial Group, Inc., a full service registered broker-dealer and registered investment adviser (“SCI”). As part of his role as President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Evans actively supervised the Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”) and actively supervised the CFO’s preparation of financial statements and other filings with various regulatory authorities. In such capacity, Mr. Evans was actively involved in the preparation of SCI’s financial statements and the resolution of issues raised in connection therewith. Mr. Evans has also served on the audit committee of various reporting companies. At such companies, Mr. Evans was involved in the oversight of audits, audit plans, and the preparation of financial statements. Mr. Evans also formerly chaired the audit committee of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

The following tables show the amount of fees that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Trust’s auditor, billed to the Trust during the Trust’s last two full fiscal years. The Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP provided to the Trust, 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 Trust 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 Trust during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Trust 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 amounts reported for the Trust under the column heading “Tax Fees” represents amounts billed to the Adviser exclusively for the preparation for the Fund’s tax return, the cost of which is borne by the Adviser. In the aggregate, for all Nuveen funds for which Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP serves as independent registered public accounting firm, these fees amounted to $127,400 in 2006. Beginning with fund fiscal years ending August 31, 2006, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, LLC will no longer prepare the fund tax returns.

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 PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP by the Trust, 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 Trust 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 Trust’s audit is completed.
