Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

Despite the global economy’s ability to muddle through the many economic headwinds of 2012, investors continue to have good reasons to remain cautious. The European Central Bank’s decisions to extend intermediate term financing to major European banks and to support sovereign debt markets have begun to show signs of a stabilized euro area financial market. The larger member states of the European Union (EU) are working diligently to strengthen the framework for a tighter financial and banking union and meaningful progress has been made by agreeing to centralize large bank regulation under the European Central Bank. However, economic conditions in the southern tier members are not improving and the pressures on their political leadership remain intense. The jury is out on whether the respective populations will support the continuing austerity measures that are needed to meet the EU fiscal targets.

In the U.S., the Fed remains committed to low interest rates into 2015 through its third program of Quantitative Easing (QE3). Inflation remains low but a growing number of economists are expressing concern about the economic distortions resulting from negative real interest rates. The highly partisan atmosphere in Congress led to a disappointingly modest solution for dealing with the end-of-year tax and spending issues. Early indications for the new Congressional term have not given much encouragement that the atmosphere for dealing with the sequestration legislation and the debt ceiling issues, let alone a more encompassing “grand bargain,” will be any better than the last Congress. Over the longer term, there are some encouraging trends for the U.S. economy: house prices are beginning to recover, banks and corporations continue to strengthen their financial positions and incentives for capital investment in the U.S. by domestic and foreign corporations are increasing due to more competitive energy and labor costs.

During 2012 U.S. investors have benefited from strong returns in the domestic equity markets and solid returns in most fixed income markets. However, many of the macroeconomic risks of 2012 remain unresolved, including negotiating through the many U.S. fiscal issues, managing the risks of another year of abnormally low U.S. interest rates, sustaining the progress being made in the euro area and reducing the potential economic impact of geopolitical issues, particularly in the Middle East. In the face of these uncertainties, the experienced investment professionals at Nuveen Investments seek out investments that are enjoying positive economic conditions. At the same time they are always on the alert for risks in markets subject to excessive optimism or for opportunities in markets experiencing undue pessimism. Monitoring this process is a critical function for the Fund Board as it oversees your Nuveen Fund on your behalf.

As always, I encourage you to communicate with your financial consultant if you have any questions about your investment in a Nuveen Fund. On behalf of the other members of your Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.

Sincerely,

Portfolio managers Daniel Close, CFA, Steven Hlavin and Chris Drahn, CFA, review key investment strategies and the performance of the Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund, the Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund, the Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund, the Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund, the Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund and the Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund. Dan has managed the Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio Funds since 2007, Steve has managed the Kansas and Wisconsin Funds since 2011 and Chris has managed the Missouri Fund since 2011.

How did the Funds perform during the six-month period ending November 30, 2012?

The tables in the Fund Performance and Expense Ratios section of this report provide Class A Share total returns for the Funds for the six-month, one-year, five-year and ten-year periods ending November 30, 2012. The tables also compare these returns to each Fund’s benchmark index and its appropriate Lipper classification average.

During the six-month period, the Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) of the Kansas, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio Funds outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index, while the Wisconsin Fund’s Class A Shares at NAV performed in line with this Index and the Class A Shares at NAV of the Kentucky Fund trailed it. The Kansas, Michigan, Missouri and Wisconsin Funds also outperformed their respective S&P state specific index, while the Kentucky and Ohio Funds underperformed their respective S&P state specific index. The Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin Funds all outpaced their respective Lipper classification averages, while the Kentucky Fund fell short of its Lipper comparative performance measure.

Going forward, the Funds will only be compared to the primary S&P Municipal Bond Index because it more closely reflects the Fund’s investment universe. There have been no changes to the way the Funds are managed.

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

All of the Funds continued to employ the same fundamental investment strategies and tactics long relied upon by Nuveen Asset Management. Our municipal bond portfolios are managed with a value-oriented approach and close input from Nuveen Asset Management’s research team. Below we highlight the specific factors influencing each Fund’s investment strategy, as well as how we managed each portfolio in light of recent market conditions.

 

Nuveen Investments     5   


Nuveen Kansas and Wisconsin Municipal Bond Funds

The Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund’s outperformance of the S&P Municipal Bond Index during the six-month period was driven most notably by the Fund’s duration positioning. The portfolio had more exposure to longer duration (more interest rate sensitive) bonds and a lower than benchmark allocation to short duration securities. This positioning was helpful for the Fund, as interest rates fell to a greater extent on longer dated issues compared to their shorter maturity counterparts.

From the standpoint of the portfolio’s credit quality breakdown, the Fund benefited from having less exposure than the benchmark to AAA-rated and AA-rated bonds, which did not fare as well as lower quality issues that offered more income and, as a result, tended to be favored by investors searching for yield in the low interest-rate environment. We also maintained an advantageous overweighting in non-rated bonds, which outperformed the Index and therefore added to the Fund’s results. The Fund was also overweighted in BBB-rated securities, which were much sought after by investors. However, the performance from the Fund’s BBB exposure was tempered by the fact that a portion of these holdings were Puerto Rico issues, which suffered along with investors’ perceptions of the U.S. territory’s weakening credit quality during the period.

On balance, the Fund’s sector positioning had a slightly negative influence on performance compared with the index. One drawback was the make-up of the Kansas municipal bond market. With relatively few toll road and corporate-backed industrial development revenue bonds to select from, the Fund was subsequently underweighted in these two strong-performing sectors relative to the national market, an allocation that limited the Fund’s upside during the period.

Our management focus centered on finding attractive opportunities to invest the proceeds from called bonds and new shareholder inflows, of which there was a healthy amount throughout the period. New purchases typically took place in the primary (new-issue) municipal bond market and consisted largely of securities with intermediate maturities offering a level of income that we thought compensated us well for the securities’ underlying credit risk. We believed it was desirable to make purchases in the intermediate segment of the yield curve because we thought these securities offered better value than shorter- or longer-dated bonds, while still providing the Fund with a measure of defensiveness, should interest rates rise from their historically low levels.

The Fund’s purchases during the six-month period included some Burlington Environmental Kansas City Power and Light utility bonds and Wyandotte County Utility Systems revenue bonds, both of which were attractive to us because of the relative scarcity of Kansas utility bonds, and these purchases enabled us to bring the Fund’s weighting in the utility sector closer to that of the national benchmark. Other notable acquisitions were Kansas State Athletics sales-tax bonds, education bonds for the Leavenworth County School District and health care bonds for Labette County Hospital.

The Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund’s performance relative to the S&P Municipal Bond Index was helped the most by our favorable duration positioning. As with the Kansas Fund, we were overweight in bonds with longer maturities, which were the main beneficiaries of falling interest rates during the period.

On a credit quality basis, the Fund gained from being underweight in the market’s highest rated securities, those with AAA and AA credit ratings. Although these bonds turned in positive results in absolute terms, they did not keep pace with lower rated securities, which investors generally preferred for their higher yields amid low interest rates. The Fund was also favorably overweighted in BBB-rated securities, which were much sought after by investors. However, the performance from the Fund’s BBB exposure was tempered by the fact that a portion of these holdings were Puerto Rico issues, which suffered along with investors’ perceptions of the U.S. territory’s weakening credit quality during the period.

In sector terms, the Fund’s positioning was shaped by the availability of securities in the Wisconsin municipal bond market. Because of a prevalence of dedicated sales-tax bonds, for example, the Fund was overweight in this category, while remaining underweight in utility bonds, a category of issuance that tends to be relatively limited in Wisconsin. In both cases, the Fund’s performance relative to the national municipal bond market was hampered by these sector allocations, given that dedicated sales-tax bonds lagged while utility securities outperformed.

With the healthy amount of new shareholder inflows into the Wisconsin Fund during the six-month period, we bought a variety of in-state debt across a range of maturities. We purchased several Wisconsin hospital and utility bond offerings from among the state’s modest level of new issuance during the period. The lack of available bonds that are fully tax-exempt for Wisconsin residents prompted us to buy three out-of-state issues, Virginia bonds for toll road and tunnel projects and Texas prepaid gas bonds (these securities are used by municipalities to prepay natural gas costs and control energy spending), whose relative value we thought was favorable enough to compensate our shareholders for their state tax liability.

To fund these purchases and keep the portfolio fully invested during the period, we primarily used the proceeds of shareholder inflows. Meanwhile, our very limited bond selling activity involved swapping out of Puerto Rico bonds with relatively low coupon income and into higher coupon debt of this U.S. territory. As Puerto Rico’s credit outlook became increasingly problematic, we believed it was prudent to focus on the higher quality credits because they were more defensive and potentially less vulnerable to further weakening in Puerto Rico’s financial position. Bonds issued by the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (COFINA) were downgraded by Moody’s in July 2012. This downgrade was due mainly to the performance of Puerto Rico’s economy and its impact on the projected growth of sales tax revenues, and not to any sector or structural issues. Each of the Funds held varying amounts of the COFINA bonds purchased at different times, with those purchased prior to and early in this period performing more positively than those purchased during the latter part of this period. Therefore, the impact on performance differed from Fund to Fund. As we continue to emphasize Puerto Rico’s stronger credits, we view these bonds as long-term holdings and note that the commonwealth’s recent enforcement of sales tax collections has improved significantly. Like all U.S. territorial bonds, Puerto Rico debt is generally fully tax-exempt for residents of all 50 states.

Nuveen Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio Municipal Bond Funds

The Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund lagged the results of its benchmark, the S&P Municipal Bond Index. The main factor behind this underperformance was that the Kentucky municipal bond market as a whole simply did not perform as well as that of many other states during the period. Given the portfolio’s obviously high allocation to Kentucky bonds, this exposure provided a headwind for the Fund’s performance relative to a national index.

Other factors also detracted from results included credit rating. The Fund was underweight in bonds with below investment-grade credit ratings, a function of the typically high credit quality of the Kentucky municipal bond market. This stance proved unhelpful in an environment in which lower rated bonds outperformed their higher rated counterparts. In sector terms, meanwhile, the Fund was overweight in pre-refunded bonds, a category that lagged because the securities feature very high credit ratings and very short durations, two attributes that were out of favor during the period.

Duration, a measure of interest-rate sensitivity, was the primary strategy adding to the Fund’s results in relative terms. Specifically, the portfolio had more exposure to longer duration securities, which were more sensitive than shorter duration bonds to falling interest rates during the six months and thus benefited disproportionately from the favorable market conditions. A corresponding de-emphasis of very short duration issues also helped lift relative performance.

As we experienced bond calls and received a healthy level of new shareholder investments into the portfolio throughout the period, our main objective was to keep the Fund fully invested. New purchases took place across a variety of sectors. These portfolio additions, which included purchases in the water/sewer, health care, corporate-backed industrial development revenue, appropriations, public power, higher education and airport categories, took place in both the primary (new-issue) and secondary municipal market. When possible, we bought bonds on the longer end of the yield curve and with lower investment-grade credit ratings, although lower rated bonds generally became more expensive as the period progressed and the municipal bond market rallied. At times, however, because specific bonds were available when we had funds requiring investment, we would buy high quality, intermediate maturity bonds that still enabled us to achieve our management objectives.

The Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund’s outperformance of the S&P Municipal Bond Index was driven by the Fund’s credit rating allocation. Compared to the Index, the Fund had more exposure to bonds with credit ratings below BBB, which benefited significantly from investors’ willingness to take on additional credit risk in exchange for higher yields in the prevailing low interest-rate environment. Similarly, the Fund had a smaller allocation to AAA-rated bonds, the market’s highest quality issues, which did not fare as well as lower rated securities.

The Fund’s duration stance had an only slightly positive performance impact. The Fund was overweight in longer bonds, which are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and therefore performed well in the falling rate environment. The Fund had only a modest underweighting in the weaker performing shorter dated issues, and less exposure would

have been desirable in retrospect. On a sector basis, the Fund benefited from its allocation to tobacco-securitization bonds, which rallied during the period. Counterbalancing that impact, however, was the Fund’s overweighting in pre-refunded bonds, whose extremely short maturities and very high credit ratings were unfavorable attributes in the market backdrop of the past six months.

Our key management objective was to keep the Fund fully invested by identifying attractive securities to apply the proceeds of new shareholder inflows and bond calls throughout the period. One particularly large bond call during the past six months was for the Detroit Wayne County Stadium Authority (Comerica Park), a fairly sizeable portfolio holding. The issuer refinanced these securities with a new bond issue, and we used a portion of our proceeds to buy the new Wayne County bonds. Other purchases reflected which types of bonds were available at the times when we had money requiring investment.

We bought securities across a number of sectors, including public power, water/sewer, health care, tobacco, general obligation (GO), airport, multifamily housing and Michigan unemployment obligation assessment bonds. We preferred to buy longer dated, lower rated bonds offering what we saw as good value, but when these types of bonds were unavailable, we sometimes purchased intermediate maturity issues with higher credit ratings to keep the portfolio fully invested, and we remained on the lookout for superior value opportunities.

One significant event in the Michigan bond market during the period was Detroit’s credit rating downgrade from rating agency Fitch Inc., which took place in June 2012. We did not own any Detroit GO bonds, but we had an opportunity toward the end of the period to add to the Fund’s Detroit enterprise bonds, including water and sewer bonds. In our opinion, these securities offered exceptional value and we believed they would be outside the reach of a potential Detroit bankruptcy filing.

The leading factor behind the outperformance of the Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund compared with the S&P Municipal Bond Index was a helpful allocation to Buckeye Tobacco bonds, an Ohio tobacco-securitization bond issue whose prices rose sharply during the period. The Fund’s relatively large exposure to these securities provided a significant boost to performance.

Also adding to the Ohio Fund’s results was favorable duration and credit quality positioning. From the standpoint of duration, being overweight compared to the index in longer maturity bonds was a plus, as these securities benefited to the greatest extent from declining interest rates. In terms of credit quality, the Fund’s overweighting in BB-rated bonds (which included the tobacco holdings mentioned above) and corresponding underweighting in AAA-rated bonds was helpful in an environment in which lower rated, higher yielding bonds performed better than higher quality issues. In contrast, the Fund’s sector allocation was a negative on a relative basis, with an overweighting in pre-refunded bonds hurting the most, given their very short maturities and high underlying credit quality.

As with the other Funds discussed in this report, our purchase activity was oriented around investing new money received into the portfolio, either as a result of bond calls or

 

Nuveen Investments     9   


new shareholder inflows. To keep the Fund fully invested, we looked to a variety of sectors for new additions to the portfolio, including GO, health care and dedicated-tax bonds, as well as higher education securities, including a position in bonds issued by Miami University. We also added marginally to water/sewer, corporate-backed industrial revenue and tax-increment financing bonds. Although we were able to find what we believed was attractive value throughout the past six months, the market’s steep rally in the period’s second half left bond prices higher and made value opportunities more elusive than at the start of the period.

Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund

The Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index during the six-month reporting period, with its duration stance contributing the most to these positive results on a relative basis. Compared to the Index, the Fund was slightly overweight in bonds with longer maturities and correspondingly underweight in shorter maturity issues. As interest rates on longer dated bonds fell more sharply than on their shorter dated counterparts, the Fund was well positioned to benefit to a greater extent from these favorable market conditions.

To a lesser degree, the Fund also gained from constructive credit quality positioning. Given the historically low interest-rate environment, investors’ willingness to accept increased credit risk in exchange for higher income translated into generally strong relative performance for municipal bonds with lower credit ratings. The Fund therefore benefited from its slight overweighting in A-rated bonds, the top performing credit quality segment in the investment-grade universe during the period, as well as its even larger overweighting in BBB-rated bonds, the lowest investment-grade rated credit tier, and a corresponding underweighting in the two highest quality bond categories, AAA-rated and AA-rated issues.

Sector positioning had a minimal impact on the Fund’s relative performance during the period, although a slight overweighting in pre-refunded bonds limited the Fund’s upside. These bonds have very high credit quality and very short maturities, so they were not well positioned in a market environment favoring securities with the opposite characteristics. A slight underweighting in outperforming water/sewer bonds also had a small negative influence on the Fund’s results.

Using primarily the proceeds of new shareholder inflows and bond calls during the period, we added a variety of securities to the portfolio across the investment-grade credit spectrum. New purchases were diversified across multiple sectors and did not result in substantial changes to the portfolio’s sector weightings. During the past six months, we participated in several lower investment-grade bond deals, and we also purchased some A-rated and AA-rated GO bonds, as well as some higher rated St. Louis sewer district bonds. Other purchases included a non-rated college bond issue and some health care and airport bonds. What these purchases had in common was that we were investing opportunistically, trying to take advantage of attractive values in the marketplace as they came available while simultaneously keeping the Fund fully invested by purchasing bonds whenever we had cash requiring investment. As the period progressed and the municipal market rallied, we were still finding areas of value among lower investment-grade rated positions, but the relative value offered by these lower rated bonds, in some cases, grew

less compelling, making higher rated bonds look somewhat more attractive on a relative basis at period end than at the start of the period.

Risk Considerations

Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Debt or fixed income securities such as those held by the Funds, are subject to market risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, call risk, state concentration risk, tax risk, and income risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Credit risk refers to an issuers ability to make interest and principal payments when due. Below investment grade or high yield debt securities are subject to liquidity risk and heightened credit risk. The Fund’s use of inverse floaters creates effective leverage. Leverage involves the risk that the Funds could lose more than its original investment and also increases the Funds’ exposure to volatility and interest rate risk.

Dividend Information

All share classes of the Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund, the Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund and the Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund experienced one monthly dividend reduction, as did the Class B, C and I Shares of the Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund. All share classes of the Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund and the Class C Shares of the Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund received two monthly dividend reductions. There were no other dividend changes during the six-month reporting period.

Each Fund seeks to pay dividends at a rate that reflects the past and projected performance of the Fund. To permit a Fund to maintain a more stable monthly dividend, the Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If the Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it will hold the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund’s net asset value. Conversely, if the Fund has cumulatively paid in dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute negative UNII that will likewise be reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. Each Fund will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of November 30, 2012, all four Funds had positive UNII balances, based upon our best estimate, for tax purposes. Kentucky had a negative UNII balance while Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin had positive UNII balances for financial reporting purposes.

The Fund Performance and Expense Ratios for each Fund are shown on the following six pages.

 

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

Returns may reflect a contractual agreement between certain Funds and the investment adviser to waive certain fees and expenses; see Notes to Financial Statements, Footnote 7 — Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates for more information. In addition, returns may reflect a voluntary expense limitation by the Funds’ investment adviser that may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice. For the most recent month-end performance visit www.nuveen.com or call (800) 257-8787.

Returns reflect differences in sales charges and expenses, which are primarily differences in distribution and service fees. Fund returns assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.

Comparative index and Lipper return information is provided for the Funds’ Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) only.

The expense ratios shown reflect the Funds’ total operating expenses (before fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any) as shown in the Funds’ most recent prospectus. The expense ratios include management fees and other fees and expenses.

Yields as of November 30, 2012

 

Dividend Yield is the most recent dividend per share (annualized) divided by the offering price per share.

The SEC 30-Day Yield is a standardized measure of a Fund’s yield that accounts for the future amortization of premiums or discounts of bonds held in the Fund’s portfolio. The SEC 30-Day Yield is computed under an SEC standardized formula and is based on the maximum offer price per share. Dividend Yield may differ from the SEC 30-Day Yield because the Fund may be paying out more or less than it is earning and it may not include the effect of amortization of bond premium.

The Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an after-tax basis at a specified tax rate. With respect to investments that generate qualified dividend income that is taxable at a maximum rate of 15%, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower.

Expense Examples

 

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

The Examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the period.

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

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

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds or share classes. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies

General Information

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 the 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”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), as diversified funds (non-diversified for Kansas and Wisconsin). 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.

On December 31, 2012, the Funds’ investment adviser converted from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company. As a result, Nuveen Fund Advisers, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”), changed its name to Nuveen Fund Advisers, LLC (the “Adviser”). There were no changes to the identities or roles of any personnel as a result of the change.

Each Fund’s investment objective is to provide as high a level of current interest income exempt from regular federal, its respective state and, in some cases, its respective local income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital. Under normal market conditions, each Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal bonds that pay interest that is exempt from regular federal and its respective state personal income tax. Under normal market conditions, each Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in investment grade municipal bonds rated BBB/Baa or higher at the time of purchase by at least one independent rating agency, or, if unrated, judged by Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, to be of comparable quality. Each Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in below investment grade municipal bonds, commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk” bonds. Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in municipal securities whose interest payments vary inversely with changes in short-term tax-exempt interest rates (“inverse floaters”).

The Funds’ most recent prospectus provides further descriptions of each Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies, and principal risks.

Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

Investment Valuation

Prices of municipal bonds are provided by a pricing service approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 for fair value measurement purposes. The pricing service establishes a security’s fair value using methods that may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer, or market activity, provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs.

Certain securities may not be able to be priced by the pre-established pricing methods as described above. Such securities may be valued by the Funds’ Board of Trustees or its designee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; debt securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market quotation; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of a Fund’s net asset value (as may be the case in non-U.S. markets on which the security is primarily traded) or make it difficult or impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as provided by the pricing service, is not deemed to reflect the security’s fair value. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Funds’ Board of Trustees or its designee.

Refer to Footnote 2 – Fair Value Measurements for further details on the leveling of securities held by the Funds as of the end of the reporting period.

Investment Transactions

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Investments purchased on a when-issued/

 

  92       Nuveen Investments


delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to earmark securities in the Funds’ portfolios with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At November 30, 2012, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin had outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments of $7,273,040, $2,575,000, $3,859,741, $4,913,663, $13,978,585 and $1,813,190, respectively.

Investment Income

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

Professional Fees

Professional fees presented on the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in an attempt to protect or enhance an investment, or to pursue other claims or legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders. Legal fee refund presented on the Statement of Operations reflects a refund of workout expenditures paid in a prior reporting period, when applicable.

Income Taxes

Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and designated state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.

For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

The Funds declare dividends from their net investment income daily and pay shareholders monthly. Fund shares begin to accrue dividends on the business day after the day when the monies used to purchase Fund shares are collected by the Funds’ transfer agent.

Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.

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

Share Classes and Sales Charges

Class A Shares are generally sold with an up-front sales charge and incur a .20% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class A Share purchases of $1 million or more are sold at net asset value without an up-front sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase. Kansas, Michigan and Wisconsin do not offer Class B Shares. Kentucky, Missouri and Ohio will issue Class B Shares upon the exchange of Class B Shares from another Nuveen mutual fund or for purposes of dividend reinvestment, but Class B Shares are not available for new accounts or for additional investment into existing accounts. Class B Shares were sold without an up-front sales charge but incur a .75% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a .20% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class B Shares are subject to 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 automatically 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 12b-1 service fee. Class C Shares are subject to a CDSC of 1% if redeemed within twelve months of purchase. Class I Shares are not subject to any sales charge or 12b-1 distribution or service fees.

Inverse Floating Rate Securities

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

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

 

A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an “externally-deposited inverse floater”), or instead by first selling a fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a “self-deposited inverse floater”). The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (a) to cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to tender their notes at par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate bond held by the trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust. An investment in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(IF) – Inverse floating rate investment.” An investment in a self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction. In such instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(UB) – Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction,” with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate certificates issued by the trust as “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” the entire earnings of the underlying bond and recognizes the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as “Interest expense” on the Statement of Operations.

During the six months ended November 30, 2012, each Fund invested in externally-deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.

Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a “recourse trust” or “credit recovery swap”) (such agreements referred to herein as “Recourse Trusts”) with a broker-dealer by which a Fund agrees to reimburse the broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the trust and the liquidation value of the floating rate certificates issued by the trust plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a Fund’s potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse floaters may increase beyond the value of a Fund’s inverse floater investments as a Fund may potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the floating rate certificates. At period end, any such shortfall is recognized as “Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

At November 30, 2012, each Fund’s maximum exposure to the floating rate obligations issued by externally-deposited Recourse Trusts was as follows:

 

      Kansas      Kentucky      Michigan      Missouri      Ohio      Wisconsin  

Maximum exposure

   $ 5,250,000       $ 15,000,000       $ 3,150,000       $  —       $ 4,830,000       $  —   

The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest rate and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters for the following Funds during the six months ended November 30, 2012, were as follows:

 

      Kansas     Kentucky     Missouri  

Average floating rate obligations outstanding

   $ 9,420,000      $ 5,650,000      $ 2,225,000   

Average annual interest rate and fees

     0.68     0.66     0.35

Derivative Financial Instruments

Each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments, including foreign currency forwards, futures, options and swap contracts. Although each Fund is authorized to invest in such derivative instruments, and may do so in the future, they did not make any such investments during the six months ended November 30, 2012.

Market and Counterparty Credit Risk

In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts, when applicable, expose a Fund to minimal counterparty credit risk as they are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, which is counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.

Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount.

Zero Coupon Securities

Each Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.

Multiclass Operations and Allocations

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

Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Funds are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class.

Custodian Fee Credit

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

Indemnifications

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

Use of Estimates

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

2. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered heirarchy of valuation input levels.

 

Level 1 –   Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 –   Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 –   Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund’s fair value measurements as of the end of the reporting period:

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

 

The Nuveen funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees is responsible for the valuation process and has delegated the oversight of the daily valuation process to the Adviser’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee, pursuant to the valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors/Trustees, is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the funds’ pricing policies, and reporting to the Board of Directors/Trustees. The Valuation Committee is aided in its efforts by the Adviser’s dedicated Securities Valuation Team, which is responsible for administering the daily valuation process and applying fair value methodologies as approved by the Valuation Committee. When determining the reliability of independent pricing services for investments owned by the funds, the Valuation Committee, among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of the pricing services and monitors the quality of security prices received through various testing reports conducted by the Securities Valuation Team.

The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making fair value determinations. Examples of possible methodologies include, but are not limited to, multiple of earnings; discount from market of a similar freely traded security; discounted cash-flow analysis; book value or a multiple thereof; risk premium/yield analysis; yield to maturity; and/or fundamental investment analysis. The Valuation Committee will also consider factors it deems relevant and appropriate in light of the facts and circumstances. Examples of possible factors include, but are not limited to, the type of security; the issuer’s financial statements; the purchase price of the security; the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase; analysts’ research and observations from financial institutions; information regarding any transactions or offers with respect to the security; the existence of merger proposals or tender offers affecting the security; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable companies; and the existence of a shelf registration for restricted securities.

For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board of Directors/Trustees, the fair value price is compared against the last available and next available market quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such testing and fair valuation occurrences are reported to the Board of Directors/Trustees.

3. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds’ investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes. The Funds did not invest in derivative instruments during the six months ended November 30, 2012.

6. Income Tax Information

The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate securities reflected as financing transactions, if any. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset values of the Funds.

At November 30, 2012, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

 

      Kansas     Kentucky     Michigan     Missouri     Ohio     Wisconsin

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Each Fund’s management fee consists of two components – a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within each individual Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables each Fund’s shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.

 

  100       Nuveen Investments


The annual fund-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:

 

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   

The annual complex-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:

 

Complex-Level Asset Breakpoint Level*    Effective Rate at  Breakpoint Level  

$55 billion

     .2000

$56 billion

     .1996   

$57 billion

     .1989   

$60 billion

     .1961

$200 billion

     .1505   

$250 billion

     .1469   

$300 billion

     .1445   

 

* The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily “eligible assets” of all Nuveen Funds. Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen Funds or assets in excess of $2 billion added to the Nuveen Fund complex in connection with the Adviser’s assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011. Eligible assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes the closed-end funds’ use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining eligible assets in certain circumstances. As of November 30, 2012, the complex-level fee rate for each of these Funds was as follows:

 

Fund    Complex-Level
Fee Rate
 

Kansas

     0.1684

Kentucky

     0.1684   

Michigan

     0.1684   

Missouri

     0.1775   

Ohio

     0.1713   

Wisconsin

     0.1684   

The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Adviser is responsible for each Fund’s overall investment strategy and asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with the Sub-Adviser under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolios of the Funds. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.

The Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses so that total annual Fund operating expenses (excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees, interest expenses, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) for Ohio do not exceed .750% of the average daily net assets of any class of Fund shares. 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.

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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

 

During the six months ended November 30, 2012, Nuveen Securities, 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 financial intermediaries as follows:

 

     Kansas        Kentucky        Michigan        Missouri        Ohio        Wisconsin  

Sales charges collected

  $ 402,487         $ 329,659         $ 126,843         $ 397,096         $ 289,851         $ 146,193   

Paid to financial intermediaries

    351,372           288,007           108,422           345,354           252,497           127,935   

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

During the six months ended November 30, 2012, the Distributor compensated financial intermediaries directly with commission advances at the time of purchase as follows:

 

      Kansas        Kentucky        Michigan        Missouri        Ohio        Wisconsin  

Commission advances

   $ 123,073         $ 111,303         $ 31,690         $ 91,199         $ 145,056         $ 64,481   

To compensate for commissions advanced to financial intermediaries, 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 six months ended November 30, 2012, the Distributor retained such 12b-1 fees as follows:

 

      Kansas        Kentucky        Michigan        Missouri        Ohio        Wisconsin  

12b-1 fees retained

   $ 66,842         $ 54,742         $ 17,877         $ 37,642         $ 63,351         $ 19,357   

The remaining 12b-1 fees charged to the Funds were paid to compensate financial intermediaries for providing services to shareholders relating to their investments.

The Distributor also collected and retained CDSC on share redemptions during the six months ended November 30, 2012, as follows:

 

      Kansas        Kentucky        Michigan        Missouri        Ohio        Wisconsin  

CDSC retained

   $ 2,695         $ 333         $ 195         $ 3,336         $ 4,207         $ 3,039   

8. Fund Reorganizations

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012, the following Nuveen open-end funds were reorganized into the following Funds included in this report as follows (each the “Reorganization” and collectively, the “Reorganizations”):

 

   

Nuveen Missouri Tax Free Fund (“Missouri Tax Free”) into Missouri; and

   

Nuveen Ohio Tax Free Fund (“Ohio Tax Free”) into Ohio.

Missouri Tax Free and Ohio Tax Free are collectively the “Acquired Funds.” Missouri and Ohio are collectively the “Acquiring Funds.”

The Adviser proposed the Reorganizations of the Acquired Funds into the Acquiring Funds, as well as a number of other fund reorganizations between funds with similar investment objectives and policies, as part of an initiative to eliminate certain redundancies among the products it offers and in an effort to achieve certain operating efficiencies. The Acquired Funds’ Board of Directors determined that the Reorganizations were in the best interest of the Acquired Funds and that the interests of existing shareholders would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganizations. The Board of Directors unanimously approved the Reorganizations on September 20, 2011.

A special meeting of Missouri Tax Free’s and Ohio Tax Free’s shareholders was held on February 16, 2012, for the purpose of voting on the Reorganizations, at which time, each of the Reorganizations were approved. The Reorganizations were consummated at the close of business on March 9, 2012.

Upon consummation of each Reorganization, the Acquired Funds transferred all of their assets and liabilities to the Acquiring Funds in exchange for the Acquiring Funds’ shares of equal value. The Acquiring Funds’ shares were then distributed to the Acquired Funds’ shareholders and the Acquired Funds were terminated. As a result of the Reorganizations, the Acquired Funds’ shareholders became shareholders of the Acquiring Funds and the Acquired Funds’ shareholders received the Acquiring Funds’ shares with a total value equal to the total value of their Acquired Funds’ shares immediately prior to the closing of their Reorganization.

The Reorganizations were structured to qualify as tax-free reorganizations under the Internal Revenue Code for federal income tax purposes, and the Acquired Funds’ shareholders will recognize no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Reorganizations. Prior to the closing of each of the Reorganizations, the Acquired Funds distributed all of their net investment income and capital gains, if any. Such a distribution may be taxable to the Acquired Funds’ shareholders for federal income tax purposes.

 

  102       Nuveen Investments


The cost, fair value and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of the investments of the Acquired Funds as of the date of the Reorganizations were as follows:

 

      Missouri
Tax Free
       Ohio
Tax Free
 

Cost of investments

   $ 161,788,408         $ 49,965,589   

Fair value of investments

     172,688,737           53,532,979   

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments

     10,900,279           3,567,390   

For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Funds were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Acquired Funds were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Acquiring Funds’ realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

For accounting and performance reporting purposes, the Acquiring Funds are the survivors. The shares outstanding, net assets and net asset value (“NAV”) per share immediately before and after the Reorganizations are as follows:

 

Acquired Funds – Prior to Reorganizations    Shares
Outstanding
     Net Assets      NAV per

Class I

     14,371,931         166,077,723         11.56   

The beginning of the Acquired Funds’ fiscal period was June 1, 2011.

Assuming the Reorganizations had been completed on June 1, 2011, the beginning of the Acquiring Funds’ fiscal period, the pro forma results of operations for the Acquired Funds for the period June 1, 2011 through March 9, 2012, each Fund’s Reorganization date, are as follows:

 

      Missouri
Tax Free
       Ohio
Tax Free
 

Net investment income (loss)

   $ (34,657      $ (48,565

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses)

     11,238,276           3,611,723   

Change in net assets resulting from operations

     9,797,872           2,532,911   

Because the combined investment portfolios for each Reorganization have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since each Reorganization was completed, it was not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Acquired Funds that had been included in the Statement of Operations since the Reorganizations were consummated.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

 

9. New Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11 (“ASU No. 2011-11”) to enhance disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are subject to offsetting (“netting”) on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. This information will enable users of the entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on the entity’s financial position. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective prospectively during interim or annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have to the financial statements amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report

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

Average Maturity: For a bond fund or defined portfolio, the average of the stated maturity dates of the fixed-income securities held. In general, the longer the average maturity, the greater the fund’s or defined portfolio’s sensitivity to interest-rate changes, which means greater price fluctuation. A shorter average maturity usually means a less sensitive, and consequently, less volatile, portfolio.

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.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP): The total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country/region in a given year, equal to total consumer, investment and government spending, plus the value of exports, minus the value of imports.

Inverse Floating Rate Securities: Inverse floating rate securities, also known as inverse floaters or tender option bonds (TOBs), are created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a) issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) to an investor (such as a Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the inverse floater varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the holder of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis.

Leverage: Leverage is created whenever a fund has investment exposure (both reward and/or risk) equivalent to more than 100% of the investment capital.

Lipper Michigan Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Represents the average annualized total return for all reporting funds in the Lipper Michigan Municipal Debt Funds Classification. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charge.

Lipper Ohio Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Represents the average annualized total return for all reporting funds in the Lipper Ohio Municipal Debt Funds Classification. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charge.

Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Represents the average annualized total return for all reporting funds in the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification. Shareholders should note that the performance of the Lipper Other States Average represents the overall average of returns for funds from ten different states with a wide variety of municipal market conditions, making direct comparisons less meaningful. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charge.

Net Asset Value (NAV): The net market value of all securities held in a portfolio.

Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: The market value of one share of a mutual fund or closed-end fund. For a Fund, the NAV is calculated daily by taking the Fund’s total assets (securities, cash, and accrued earnings), subtracting the Funds’s liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding.

Pre-Refundings: Pre-Refundings, also known as advance refundings or refinancings, occur when an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and interest payments of older existing bonds. This process often results in lower borrowing costs for bond issuers.

S&P Kansas Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Kansas municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.

S&P Kentucky Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Kentucky municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.

S&P Michigan Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Michigan municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.

S&P Missouri Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Missouri municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.

S&P Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade U.S. municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.

S&P Ohio Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Ohio municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.

S&P Wisconsin Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Wisconsin municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.

Zero Coupon Bond: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the bond at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of bonds that pay interest periodically.
