Chairman’s Letter

to Shareholders

 

LOGO

Dear Shareholders,

For better or for worse, the financial markets spent most of the past year waiting for the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to end its accommodative monetary policy. The policy has propped up stock and bond markets since the Great Recession, but the question remains: how will markets behave without its influence? This uncertainty was a considerable source of volatility for stock and bond prices for much of 2015, despite the Fed carefully conveying its intention to raise rates slowly and only when the economy shows evidence of readiness.

As was widely expected, the long-awaited Fed rate hike materialized in mid-December. While the move was interpreted as a vote of confidence on the U.S. economy’s underlying strength, the Fed emphasized that future rate increases will be gradual and guided by its ongoing assessment of financial conditions. Headwinds including rising borrowing costs, softer commodity prices, low inflation, a strong U.S. dollar and a stagnant global economy could necessitate keeping monetary conditions accommodative for longer. Meanwhile, policy makers in Europe and Japan are deploying their available tools to try to bolster their economies’ fragile growth, while Chinese authorities have stepped up efforts to manage China’s slowdown.

Although the new year began with a more pessimistic tone to investor sentiment and elevated volatility in the markets, we caution investors from making long-term decisions based on short-term news. In times like these, you can look to a professional investment manager with the experience and discipline to maintain the proper perspective on short-term events. And if the daily headlines do concern you, I encourage you to reach out to your financial advisor. Your financial advisor can help you evaluate your investment strategies in light of current events, your time horizon and risk tolerance.

On behalf of the other members of the Nuveen Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.

Sincerely,

Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund

These Funds feature portfolio management by Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, an affiliate of Nuveen Investments, Inc. Portfolio managers Daniel J. Close, CFA, Steven M. Hlavin, and Christopher L. Drahn, CFA, review key investment strategies and the performance of the 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. 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 reporting period ended November 30, 2015?

The tables in the Fund Performance, Expense Ratios and Effective Leverage Ratios section of this report provide each Fund’s total return performance information for the applicable six-month, one-year, five-year, ten-year and since-inception periods ended November 30, 2015. The returns for each Fund’s Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) are compared with the performance of a corresponding market index and Lipper classification average.

For the reporting period, the Class A Shares at NAV of the Michigan, Missouri and Ohio Funds outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index, while the Class A Shares at NAV of the Kansas, Kentucky and Wisconsin Funds underperformed this performance measure. All six Funds outpaced their respective Lipper classification averages.

What key strategies were used to manage the Funds during the six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2015 and 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 Kansas Municipal Bond Fund

For the six months ended November 30, 2015, the Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund lagged the S&P Municipal Bond Index, partly due to its sector positioning. In particular, we were significantly underweighted in transportation bonds, which performed

The Funds disclaim any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or views expressed herein.

Ratings shown are the highest rating given by one of the following national rating agencies: Standard & Poor’s (S&P), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or Fitch, Inc (Fitch). Credit ratings are subject to change. AAA, AA, A, and BBB are investment grade ratings; BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D are below-investment grade ratings.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)

 

very well nationally but make up a negligible part of the Kansas municipal marketplace. Similarly, because Kansas does not issue general obligation (GO) debt, we gained investment exposure to the state with dedicated sales tax bonds. Unfortunately, these holdings trailed the index during the reporting period, although our lack of state GO debt in the portfolio was a partly counterbalancing positive. The Fund also benefited from overweightings in the health care and utilities sectors, two outperforming categories.

The Fund benefited the most from its duration and yield curve positioning. During a period in which longer-dated bonds tended to outperform their shorter-dated counterparts, our overweighting on the long end of the yield curve had a positive impact on relative performance. From a credit quality standpoint, various offsetting factors combined to have a slightly positive performance impact. For example, an overweighting in non-rated bonds hampered results in light of that category’s relative underperformance, but that was offset by a helpful underweighting in AAA rated bonds, the market’s weakest performing quality segment. The Fund also benefited from overweighting the BBB rating category, which produced the market’s best overall return.

The Fund was helped by its position in Guam GO debt. As these holdings were advance refunded during the reporting period, they saw their prices rise in conjunction with the securities’ improved credit quality and reduced interest rate risk.

 

We did not make any major changes to the portfolio, as we believed it was already well positioned and saw few bonds available for purchase that struck us as more attractive than the ones we already held. With limited new investment inflows, our main focus was on reinvesting the proceeds from bond calls taking place during the reporting period.

 

A large majority of our new purchases were of Kansas bonds. These included debt for the University of Kansas Hospital, the Coffeyville electric utility system and Washburn University. These purchases featured lower- to mid-investment grade credit ratings and offered what we saw as attractive yields relative to the securities’ risk.

 

To broaden the investment opportunity set available to our shareholders, we also owned a variety of U.S. territorial bonds. These tax-exempt holdings were diversified across three separate territories and multiple economic sectors. During the reporting period, we bought tax-exempt Guam business privilege tax bonds. These holdings are secured by taxes on local businesses, one of the island’s main revenue sources. Overall, however, we modestly reduced our exposure to territorial bonds, selling some issues of both Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, while we experienced a call of one Guam position. At the end of the reporting period, we had reduced our Puerto Rico exposure to 1.41%.

Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund

The Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund modestly lagged the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the six-month reporting period. The main drag on performance came from the Fund’s exposure to dedicated sales tax bonds. Because these make up a relatively large proportion of our available purchase opportunities in Wisconsin, they tend to be heavily represented in the portfolio. These bonds underperformed during the reporting period, however, which weighed on results.

On the positive side, duration and yield curve positioning helped the Fund. Specifically, the portfolio’s duration was longer than that of the benchmark, meaning we were able to benefit to a greater extent from a modest decline in interest rates, especially on the long end of the yield curve, an outperforming maturity segment in which the Fund was overweighted.

In terms of credit rating exposure, the Fund was hampered by its overweighting in non-rated securities, which as a whole lagged the market. That difficulty, however, was offset by overweighting BBB rated bonds, which had the strongest returns in the market and an underweighting in AAA rated bonds, which produced the weakest performance.

Sector allocation was positive overall. Our lack of exposure to state general obligation (GO) bonds, which are not issued in Wisconsin, was helpful versus the national index. The Fund also benefited from our exposure to hospital bonds, which outperformed the index, and we further saw strong results from some of our individual holdings. In contrast, limited exposure to utility bonds was detrimental, given this category’s relative outperformance, and our underweighting in strong-performing tobacco securitization debt also hurt results.

Finally, the Fund benefited when some of its Guam GO bonds were advance refunded. This event led to higher bond prices tied to the securities’ improved credit quality and shorter duration.

 

  6       Nuveen Investments


Purchase and sale activity was quiet. Most of the proceeds we used to acquire new bonds came from selling some of the Fund’s U.S. territorial positions. This included eliminating various Puerto Rico, Guam and U.S. Virgin Islands holdings from the portfolio. However, we continued to maintain exposure to all three territories, owning a mix of bonds diversified by revenue sources and security features.

The Fund’s exposure to Guam bonds, consisted of business privilege tax bonds, Guam Government Waterworks Authority issues, Guam Power Authority bonds, tobacco settlement debt and the Guam advance refunded bonds mentioned earlier. Our U.S. Virgin Islands holdings included bonds for a marine portfolio, rum excise tax issues, water and power authority bonds, business income tax credits and bonds backed by the territory’s general fund revenues. Puerto Rico bonds made up 1.94% of the Fund at the end of the reporting period.

With the proceeds of bond sales, we bought various new Wisconsin issues that enabled us to achieve our goal of increasing exposure to in-state credits. Our purchases included lease appropriation bonds for the Kaukauna Redevelopment Authority and for the Weston Community Development Authority. We also purchased lower rated corporate-backed municipal issues for National Gypsum, providing us a rare opportunity to buy high yield Wisconsin bonds fully exempt from both federal and state income taxes.

Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund

The Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund slightly lagged the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the six-month reporting period. Duration positioning was partly behind the relative underperformance. During the reporting period, longer-dated bonds generally outperformed their shorter-maturity counterparts, as rates modestly fell on the long end of the yield curve. Accordingly, the Fund’s underweighting in bonds with longer durations, and therefore more sensitivity to changes in interest rates and less benefit from falling interest rates, hampered results.

Not surprisingly in light of market conditions, our various higher quality, shorter-maturity holdings tended to underperform. However, longer duration holdings, including the Fund’s tender option bonds (TOBs), fared well. TOBs, also known as inverse floating rate securities, are derivative contracts we use in an attempt to increase the Fund’s distributable income and total return by adding a small amount of leverage. As long-term interest rates declined, these long-duration bonds performed well, as expected.

The Fund’s credit rating positioning was beneficial. The Fund had more limited exposure to B rated bonds and although lower rated credits tended to outperform higher quality issues, this rating tier was an exception and our very modest allocation contributed to results. The Fund generally benefited from its other exposure to bonds with below investment grade credit ratings.

Sector positioning had a neutral performance impact overall. On the positive side, the Fund was helped by its overweighting in the health care sector, which added value in light of the category’s strong results. Those results were tempered, however, by our positioning among water and sewer bonds, which detracted from relative performance.

New purchases during the reporting period consisted of a mix of higher and lower rated bonds. Consistent with our duration management objectives, the bonds we acquired tended to have intermediate and longer maturities. Recent acquisitions included various public and private higher education bonds as well as a shorter-dated state appropriation issue.

A notable purchase was to buy Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority Next Generation Information Highway bonds, which are helping to bring high-speed Internet connections to all 120 Kentucky counties. We liked several aspects of this bond issue, including its public-private partnership structure, lower investment grade credit rating with the potential for improvement and the opportunity to obtain additional portfolio diversification. To finance this purchase, we sold some short-dated bonds benefiting from good demand on the part of individual investors, and also reinvested the proceeds of bond calls.

Of final note, we eliminated the Fund’s small position in a credit default swap on the debt obligations of the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, as the position no longer met our management objectives. During the current reporting period, the swap had a negligible impact on performance. At the end of the reporting period, the Fund had no exposure to bonds of U.S. territories and was entirely invested in Kentucky municipal debt.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)

 

Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund

The Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund outpaced the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the six months ended November 30, 2015, with duration and yield curve positioning one source of added value. In particular, the Fund was underweighted in shorter-dated bonds, which contributed to results as these issues trailed the national municipal bond market.

 

From a credit quality perspective, the Fund benefited from our underweighting in B rated bonds. Our limited exposure to this lagging category proved helpful. In addition, the Fund’s overweighting in the AA rating tier was helpful in light of that category’s relative outperformance.

 

In sector terms, the Fund was helped by overweighting tobacco securitization bonds, a strong performing sector. However, our underweighting in certain transportation issues slightly offset those positive results.

 

The Fund benefited from its exposure to tender option bonds (TOBs), derivative securities helped by their relatively long durations. Another boost to performance came from the advance refunding of our holdings in Crittenton Hospital bonds. When these lower rated issues were advance refunded, they saw an immediate price increase as their credit quality improved and maturities shortened.

 

As cash came into the portfolio through bond calls or new investment activity, as well as from our sale of Detroit water and sewer bonds during the reporting period, we focused on quickly getting those proceeds invested. Favoring intermediate- and longer-duration securities, we bought bonds in five different sectors. Purchases included local general obligation (GO) bonds for Ann Arbor Public Schools, higher education bonds, dedicated-tax Michigan transit bonds, state appropriation bonds for Michigan builders, and tax-increment bonds for the Lansing Township Downtown Development Authority. Except for the Ann Arbor education issues, we were generally avoiding adding exposure to Southeast Michigan issuers, whose bonds we rarely found attractively valued.

 

Of final note, we liquidated our small allocation to a credit default swap on the debt obligations of Puerto Rico. During the reporting period, the swap had a negligible impact on performance.

Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund

During the reporting period, the Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index. The Fund benefited from its duration positioning. Specifically, our overweighting in longer-dated bonds and underweighting in the market’s shortest duration issues added value.

 

Credit quality positioning was also helpful, with an allocation to various lower rated categories contributing the most. Bonds with a B credit rating trailed the market during the reporting period and our relative underweighting in the category further added value.

 

Meanwhile, sector allocation was modestly negative. Most notably, overweighting advance refunded bonds hampered results in light of those securities’ very short maturities and high credit quality, two generally out-of-favor characteristics. In contrast, the Fund’s overweighting in tobacco bonds was a helpful performance factor, given the category’s strong results. We benefited from our exposure to tender option bonds (TOBs), derivative securities that were helped by their relatively long durations.

 

Purchase activity was relatively quiet, reflecting our comfort with the portfolio’s existing positioning as well as only modest shareholder investment and call activity. We reinvested our proceeds from call activity and sales of some short-dated, high quality bonds. When we did make purchases, we added to the Fund’s existing holdings in bonds for the Portsmouth Bypass, a highway project in the state. These bonds are issued by the state’s Department of Transportation in a public-private partnership: the private sector builds and finances the project, while the state issues debt to finance operations and pay the contractors back over time. Other purchases this reporting period included higher education bonds, a health care deal, highly rated water and sewer bonds and an insured land-secured deal, a type of bond rarely issued in the state and therefore attractive for diversification purposes. We also added general obligation (GO) and appropriation bonds for the city of Dublin, Ohio.

Of final note, we liquidated our small allocation to a credit default swap on the debt obligations of Puerto Rico. During the reporting period, the swap had a negligible impact on performance.

Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund

For the six-month reporting period, the Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index. Yield curve positioning was a major factor behind the Fund’s outperformance. With longer-maturity securities generally outperforming shorter bonds, our overweighting on the longer part of the curve and corresponding underweighting in short-dated issues helped.

We were satisfied with the Fund’s structure coming into the reporting period and sought not to make big adjustments to the portfolio. When buying bonds, we favored issues with longer maturity dates, notably 15 to 30 years, which was the part of the yield curve we found more attractive. Adding bonds in this area enabled us to keep the portfolio’s duration at our target while generally being more advantageous for income generation.

During the reporting period, significant purchases included higher education bonds for Saint Louis University and health care debt of Saint Luke’s Episcopal and Presbyterian Hospitals. We also bought a number of non-rated bond deals in other sectors.

To finance these acquisitions, we used the proceeds of new shareholder investments and, to a lesser extent, bond calls and maturities. We also sold a few bonds due to some concerns about the issuers’ credit quality. Other sales included bond swaps, as we exchanged certain bonds in the portfolio for comparable issues providing better income characteristics. At end of the reporting period, the vast majority of our investments were in Missouri bonds. We did, however, continue to have small exposures to Puerto Rico and Guam.

An Update Involving Puerto Rico

As noted in the Funds’ previous shareholder reports, we continue to monitor situations in the broader municipal market for any impact on the Funds’ holdings and performance: the ongoing economic problems of Puerto Rico is one such case. Puerto Rico’s continued economic weakening, escalating debt service obligations, and long-standing inability to deliver a balanced budget led to multiple downgrades on its debt over the past two years. Puerto Rico has warned investors since 2014 that the island’s debt burden debt may be unsustainable and the Commonwealth has been exploring various strategies to deal with this burden, including Chapter 9 bankruptcy, which is currently not available by law.

Puerto Rico general obligation debt is currently rated Caa2/CC/CC (below investment grade) by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, with negative outlooks. In terms of Puerto Rico holdings, shareholders should note that, as of the end of this reporting period, we had reduced our Puerto Rico exposure in the Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund to 1.41%, 1.05% in the Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund and 1.94% in the Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund at the end of the reporting period, while the remaining Funds had no exposure to Puerto Rico.

Risk Considerations

and Dividend Information

 

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 Funds’ 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

Each Fund seeks to pay regular monthly dividends out of its net investment income at a rate that reflects its past and projected net income performance. To permit each Fund to maintain a more stable monthly dividend, the Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it will hold the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund’s net asset value. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid in dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute a negative UNII that will likewise be reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. Each Fund will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to shareholders.

As of November 30, 2015, the Funds had positive UNII balances, based upon our best estimate, for tax purposes and positive UNII balances for financial reporting purposes.

All monthly dividends paid by the Funds during the current reporting period were paid from net investment income. If a portion of the Fund’s monthly distributions was sourced from or comprised of elements other than net investment income, including capital gains and/or a return of capital, shareholders would have received a notice to that effect. For financial reporting purposes the composition and per share amounts of each Fund’s dividends for the reporting period are presented in this report’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights, respectively. For income tax purposes, distribution information for each Fund as of its most recent tax year end is presented in Note 6—Income Tax Information within the Notes to Financial Statements of this report.

Fund Performance, Expense Ratios

and Effective Leverage Ratios

 

The Fund Performance, Expense Ratios and Effective Leverage Ratios for each Fund are shown within this section of the report.

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 fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the investment adviser during the periods presented. If any such waivers and/or reimbursements had not been in place, returns would have been reduced. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 7—Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates for more information. 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 Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) only.

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

Leverage is created whenever a Fund has investment exposure (both reward and/or risk) equivalent to more than 100% of the investment capital. The effective leverage ratio shown is the amount of investment exposure created either through borrowings or indirectly through inverse floaters, divided by the assets invested, including those assets that were purchased with the proceeds of the leverage, or referenced by the levered instrument.

Yields as of November 30, 2015

 

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. If the comparison were instead to investments that generate qualified dividend income, which is taxable at a rate lower than an individual’s ordinary graduated tax rate, the Fund’s Taxable-Equivalent Yield would be lower.

1 The SEC Yield for Class A shares quoted in the table reflects the maximum sales load. Investors paying a reduced load because of volume discounts, investors paying no load because they qualify for one of the several exclusions from the load, and existing shareholders who previously paid a load but would like to know the SEC Yield applicable to their shares on a going-forward basis, should understand that the SEC Yield effectively applicable to them would be higher than the figure quoted in the table.

 

2 The Taxable-Equivalent Yield is based on the Fund’s SEC 30-Day Yield on the indicated date and a combined federal and state in-come tax rate shown in the respective table above.

1 The SEC Yield for Class A shares quoted in the table reflects the maximum sales load. Investors paying a reduced load because of volume discounts, investors paying no load because they qualify for one of the several exclusions from the load, and existing shareholders who previously paid a load but would like to know the SEC Yield applicable to their shares on a going-forward basis, should understand that the SEC Yield effectively applicable to them would be higher than the figure quoted in the table.

 

2 The Taxable-Equivalent Yield is based on the Fund’s SEC 30-Day Yield on the indicated date and a combined federal and state in-come tax rate shown in the respective table above.

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 ended November 30, 2015.

The beginning of the period is June 1, 2015.

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

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

(3) Ratings: Using the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating.

Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities.

 

(5) Investment, or portion of investment, has been pledged to collateralize the net payment obligations for investments in inverse floating rate transactions.

 

(6) 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.

Notes to

Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies

General Information

Trust and Fund Information

The Nuveen Multistate Trust IV (the “Trust”), is an open-end management 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.

The end of the reporting period for the Funds is November 30, 2015, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the six months ended November 30, 2015 (the “current fiscal period”).

Investment Adviser

The Funds’ investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”). The Adviser is responsible for each Fund’s overall investment strategy and asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), a subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolios of the Funds.

Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies

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, local income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital. Under normal market conditions, each Fund invests at least 80% of the sum of its net assets and 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. These municipal bonds include obligations issued by its respective state and their subdivisions, authorities, instrumentalities and corporations, as well as obligations issued by U.S. territories (such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam) that pay interest that is exempt from regular federal and respective state personal income tax. Each Fund may invest without limit in securities that generate income subject to the alternative minimum tax. Each Fund will generally maintain, under normal market conditions, an investment portfolio with an overall weighted average maturity in excess of 10 years.

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 the Sub-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 in all types of municipal bonds, including general obligation bonds, revenue bonds and participation interests in municipal leases. Each Fund may invest in zero coupon bonds, which are issued at substantial discounts from their value at maturity and pay no cash income to their holders until they mature. 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”). Inverse floaters are derivative securities that provide leveraged exposure to underlying municipal bonds. Each Fund’s investments in inverse floaters are designed to increase the Fund’s income and returns through this leveraged exposure. These investments are speculative, however, and also create the possibility that income and returns will be diminished.

Each Fund may utilize futures contracts, swap contracts, options on futures contracts and options on swap contracts in an attempt to manage market risk, credit risk and yield curve risk, and to manage the effective maturity or duration of securities in each Fund’s portfolio.

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

Significant Accounting Policies

Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 “Financial Services-Investment Companies”. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

  98       Nuveen Investments


Investment Transactions

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the specific identification method, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have earmarked securities in their portfolios with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments.

As of the end of the reporting period, the Funds outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments were as follows:

 

     Kansas      Kentucky      Michigan      Missouri      Ohio      Wisconsin  
Outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments   $   —       $   —       $   —       $ 7,222,935       $   —       $   —   

Investment Income

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

Professional Fees

Professional fees presented on the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in an attempt to protect or enhance an investment or to pursue other claims or legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders. If a refund is received for workout expenditures paid in a prior reporting period, such amounts will be recognized as “Legal fee refund” on the Statement of Operations.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and distributed to 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 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 0.20% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class A Share purchases of $1 million or more are sold at net asset value (“NAV”) without an up-front sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase. Such CDSC will be equal to 1.00% for any shares purchased on or after November 1, 2015. Class C Shares are sold without an up-front sales charge but incur a 0.75% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a 0.25% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class C2 Shares will be issued upon the exchange of Class C2 Shares from another Nuveen mutual fund or for the purpose of dividend reinvestment, but Class C2 Shares are not available for new accounts or for additional investment into existing accounts. Class C2 Shares incur a 0.55% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a 0.20% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class C and Class C2 Shares are subject to a CDSC of 1% if redeemed within twelve months of purchase. Class I Shares are not subject to any sales charges or 12b-1 distribution or service fees.

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 are recorded to the specific class. Currently, the only expenses that are allocated on a class-specific basis are 12b-1 distribution and service fees.

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

Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and 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.

Netting Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable International Swaps and Derivative Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows each Fund to offset certain securities and derivatives with a specific counterparty as well as any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, each Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis.

 

Nuveen Investments     99   


Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

 

The Funds’ investments subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, if any, are further described in Note 3 – Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives.

Use of Estimates

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

2. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements

The fair valuation input levels as described below are for fair value measurement purposes.

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making a fair value determination, based on the facts and circumstances specific to the portfolio instrument. Fair value determinations generally will be derived as follows, using public or private market information:

 

  (i) If available, fair value determinations shall be derived by extrapolating from recent transactions or quoted prices for identical or comparable securities.

 

  (ii) If such information is not available, an analytical valuation methodology may be used based on other available information including, but not limited to: analyst appraisals, research reports, corporate action information, issuer financial statements and shelf registration statements. Such analytical valuation methodologies may include, but are not limited to: multiple of earnings, discount from market value of a similar freely-traded security, discounted cash flow analysis, book value or a multiple thereof, risk premium/yield analysis, yield to maturity and/or fundamental investment analysis.

The purchase price of a portfolio instrument will be used to fair value the instrument only if no other valuation methodology is available or deemed appropriate, and it is determined that the purchase price fairly reflects the instrument’s current value.

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

3. Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives

Portfolio Securities

Inverse Floating Rate Securities

Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond (referred to as an “Underlying Bond”), typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose tender option bond (“TOB”) trust (referred to as the “TOB Trust”) created by or at the direction of one or more Funds. In turn, the TOB Trust issues (a) floating rate certificates (referred to as “Floaters”) in face amounts equal to some fraction of the Underlying Bond’s par amount or market value, and (b) an inverse floating rate certificate (referred to as an “Inverse Floater”) that represents all remaining or residual interest in the TOB Trust. Floaters typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties who are also provided a right to tender their certificate and receive its par value, which may be paid from the proceeds of a remarketing of the Floaters, by a loan to the TOB Trust from a third party liquidity provider (“Liquidity Provider”), or by the sale of assets from the TOB Trust. The Inverse Floater is issued to a long term investor, such as one or more of the Funds. The income received by the Inverse Floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to holders of the Floaters, and in most circumstances the Inverse Floater holder bears substantially all of the Underlying Bond’s downside investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the Underlying Bond’s value. The value of an Inverse Floater will be more volatile than that of the Underlying Bond because the interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the Underlying Bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the Floaters, and because the Inverse Floater essentially bears the risk of loss (and possible gain) of the greater face value of the Underlying Bond.

The Inverse Floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right to (a) cause the holders of the Floaters to tender their certificates at par (or slightly more than par in certain circumstances), and (b) have the trustee of the TOB Trust (the “Trustee”) transfer the Underlying Bond held by the TOB Trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the TOB Trust.

The Fund may acquire an Inverse Floater in a transaction where it (a) transfers an Underlying Bond that it owns to a TOB Trust created by a third party or (b) transfers an Underlying Bond that it owns, or that it has purchased in a secondary market transaction for the purpose of creating an Inverse Floater, to a TOB Trust created at its direction, and in return receives the Inverse Floater of the TOB Trust (referred to as a “self-deposited Inverse Floater”). A Fund may also purchase an Inverse Floater in a secondary market transaction from a third party creator of the TOB Trust without first owning the Underlying Bond (referred to as an “externally-deposited Inverse Floater”).

An investment in a self-deposited Inverse Floater is accounted for as a “financing” transaction (i.e., a secured borrowing). For a self-deposited Inverse Floater, the Underlying Bond deposited into the TOB Trust is identified in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments as “(UB) – Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction,” with the Fund recognizing as liabilities, labeled “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, (a) the liquidation value of Floaters issued by the TOB Trust, and (b) the amount of any borrowings by the TOB Trust from a Liquidity Provider to enable the TOB Trust to purchase outstanding Floaters in lieu of a remarketing. In addition, the Fund recognizes in “Investment Income” the entire earnings of the Underlying Bond, and recognizes (a) the interest paid to the holders of the Floaters or on the TOB Trust’s borrowings, and (b) other expenses related to remarketing, administration, trustee, liquidity and other services to a TOB Trust, as a component of “Interest expense” on the Statement of Operations.

In contrast, an investment in an externally-deposited Inverse Floater is accounted for as a purchase of the Inverse Floater and is identified in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments as “(IF) – Inverse floating rate investment.” For an externally-deposited Inverse Floater, a Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities recognizes the Inverse Floater and not the Underlying Bond as an asset, and the Fund does not recognize the Floaters, or any related borrowings from a Liquidity Provider, as a liability. Additionally, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” only the net amount of earnings on the Inverse Floater (net of the interest paid to the holders of the Floaters or the Liquidity Provider as lender, and the expenses of the Trust), and does not show the amount of that interest paid or the expenses of the TOB Trust as described above as interest expense on the Statement of Operations.

Fees paid upon the creation of a TOB Trust for self-deposited Inverse Floaters and externally-deposited Inverse Floaters are recognized as part of the cost basis of the Inverse Floater and are capitalized over the term of the TOB Trust.

As of the end of the reporting period, the aggregate value of Floaters issued by each Fund’s TOB Trust for self-deposited Inverse Floaters and externally-deposited Inverse Floaters was as follows:

 

Floating Rate Obligations Outstanding   Kansas      Kentucky      Michigan      Missouri      Ohio      Wisconsin  
Floating rate obligations: self-deposited Inverse Floaters   $ 9,420,000       $ 5,650,000       $       $ 2,225,000       $       $   
Floating rate obligations: externally-deposited Inverse Floaters     5,250,000         29,690,000         3,150,000                 32,100,000         3,750,000   
Total   $ 14,670,000       $ 35,340,000       $ 3,150,000       $ 2,225,000       $ 32,100,000       $ 3,750,000

During the current fiscal period, the average amount of Floaters (including any borrowings from a Liquidity Provider) outstanding, and average annual interest rate and fees related to self-deposited Inverse Floaters, were as follows:

 

Self-Deposited Inverse Floaters   Kansas      Kentucky      Michigan      Missouri      Ohio      Wisconsin  
Average floating rate obligations outstanding   $ 9,420,000       $ 5,650,000       $   —       $ 2,225,000       $   —       $   —   
Average annual interest rate and fees     0.58      0.52           0.21          

TOB Trusts are supported by a liquidity facility provided by a Liquidity Provider pursuant to which the Liquidity Provider agrees, in the event that Floaters are (a) tendered to the Trustee for remarketing and the remarketing does not occur, or (b) subject to mandatory tender pursuant to the terms of the TOB Trust agreement, to either purchase Floaters or to provide the Trustee with an advance from a loan facility to fund the purchase of Floaters by the TOB Trust. In certain circumstances, the Liquidity Provider may otherwise elect to have the Trustee sell the Underlying Bond to retire the Floaters that were tendered and not remarketed prior to providing such a loan. In these circumstances, the Liquidity Provider remains obligated to provide a loan to the extent that the proceeds of the sale of the Underlying Bond are not sufficient to pay the purchase price of the Floaters.

The size of the commitment under the loan facility for a given TOB Trust is at least equal to the balance of that TOB Trust’s outstanding Floaters plus any accrued interest. In consideration of the loan facility, fee schedules are in place and are charged by the Liquidity Provider(s). Any loans made by the Liquidity Provider will be secured by the purchased Floaters held by the TOB Trust. Interest paid on any outstanding loan balances will be effectively borne by the Fund that owns the Inverse Floaters of the TOB Trust that has incurred the borrowing and may be at a rate that is greater than the rate that would have been paid had the Floaters been successfully remarketed.

As described above, any amounts outstanding under a liquidity facility are recognized as a component of “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by the Fund holding the corresponding Inverse Floaters issued by the borrowing TOB Trust. As of the end of the reporting period, there were no loans outstanding under any such facility.

Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a “recourse arrangement” or “credit recovery swap”) (TOB Trusts involving such agreements are referred to herein as “Recourse Trusts”), under which a Fund agrees to reimburse the Liquidity Provider for the Trust’s Floaters, in certain circumstances, for the amount (if any) by which the liquidation value of the Underlying Bond held by the TOB Trust may fall short of the sum of the liquidation value of the Floaters issued by the TOB Trust plus any amounts borrowed by the TOB Trust from the Liquidity Provider, plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a Fund’s potential exposure to losses related to or on an Inverse Floater may increase beyond the value of the Inverse Floater as a Fund may potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the Floaters or the Liquidity Provider. Any such shortfall amount in the aggregate is recognized as “Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

As of the end of the reporting period, each Fund’s maximum exposure to the Floaters issued by Recourse Trusts for self-deposited Inverse Floaters and externally-deposited Inverse Floaters was as follows:

 

Floating Rate Obligations - Recourse Trusts   Kansas      Kentucky      Michigan      Missouri      Ohio      Wisconsin  
Maximum exposure to Recourse Trusts: self-deposited Inverse Floaters   $ 8,285,000       $       $       $   —       $       $   
Maximum exposure to Recourse Trusts: externally-deposited Inverse Floaters             22,190,000         3,150,000                 3,750,000         3,750,000   
Total   $ 8,285,000       $ 22,190,000       $ 3,150,000       $       $ 3,750,000       $ 3,750,000   

Zero Coupon Securities

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

Investments in Derivatives

In addition to the inverse floating rate securities in which each Fund may invest, which are considered portfolio securities for financial reporting purposes, each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments. 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.

Credit Default Swaps

A Fund may enter into a credit default swap contract to seek to maintain a total return on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio, or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Credit default swap contracts involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if/when there is a credit event by a third party. Generally, a credit event means bankruptcy, failure to pay, or restructuring. The specific credit events applicable for each credit default swap are stated in the terms of the particular swap agreement. Upon occurrence of a specific credit event with respect to the underlying referenced entity, the Fund will either

(i) receive that security, or an equivalent amount of cash, from the counterparty in exchange for payment of the notional amount to the counterparty, or (ii) pay a net settlement amount of the credit default swap contract less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. The difference between the value of the security delivered and the notional amount received is recorded as a realized gain or loss. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are recognized as a component of “Credit default swaps premiums paid and/or received” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.

Credit default swap contracts are valued daily. Changes in the value of a credit default swap during the fiscal period are recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of swaps” and realized gains and losses are recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from swaps” on the Statement of Operations.

For over-the-counter swaps, the daily change in the market value of the swap contract, along with any daily interest fees accrued, are recognized as components of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on credit default swaps (, net)” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Investments in swaps cleared through an exchange obligate a Fund and the clearing broker to settle monies on a daily basis representing changes in the prior day’s “mark-to-market” of the swap. If a Fund has unrealized appreciation the clearing broker would credit the Fund’s account with an amount equal to the appreciation and conversely if a Fund has unrealized depreciation the clearing broker would debit a Fund’s account with an amount equal to the depreciation. These daily cash settlements are also known as “variation margin.” Variation margin is recognized as a receivable and/or payable for “Variation margin on swap contracts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Fund could incur as a buyer or seller of protection in a credit default swap contract is limited to the notional amount of the contract. The maximum potential amount would be offset by the recovery value, if any, of the respective referenced entity. In certain instances, a Fund is obligated to deposit cash or eligible securities, also known as “initial margin,” into an account at its clearing broker equal to a specified percentage of the contract amount. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open swap contracts, if any, is recognized as “Cash collateral at brokers” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

During the current fiscal period, Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio invested in credit default swaps to manage credit risk by purchasing credit protection. These swaps were terminated prior to the end of the reporting period.

The average notional amount of credit default swap contracts outstanding during the current fiscal period, was as follows:

 

     Kansas      Kentucky      Michigan      Missouri      Ohio      Wisconsin  
Average notional amount of credit default swap contracts outstanding*   $   —       $ 1,555,000       $ 1,300,000       $   —       $ 4,180,000       $   —   
* The average notional amount is calculated based on the outstanding notional at the beginning of the fiscal period and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal period.

The following table presents the amount of net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) recognized on swap con-tracts on the Statement of Operations during the current fiscal period, and the primary underlying risk exposure.

Market and Counterparty Credit Risk

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

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

6. Income Tax Information

Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

 

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

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

As of November 30, 2015, 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  
Cost of investments      $ 188,369,450       $ 340,050,404       $ 160,652,101       $ 413,480,694       $ 486,245,806       $ 91,405,396

Permanent differences, primarily due to federal taxes paid, treatment of notional principal contracts and taxable market discount, resulted in reclassifications among the Funds’ components of net assets as of May 31, 2015, the Funds’ last tax year end, as follows:

 

        Kansas      Kentucky      Michigan      Missouri      Ohio      Wisconsin

The tax components of undistributed net tax-exempt income, net ordinary income and net long-term capital gains as of May 31, 2015, the Funds’ last tax year end, were as follows:

 

        Kansas      Kentucky      Michigan      Missouri      Ohio      Wisconsin  
Undistributed net tax-exempt income1      $ 1,197,624       $ 1,643,178       $ 442,250       $ 1,480,884       $ 1,805,153       $ 435,524

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Each Fund’s management fee compensates the Adviser for the overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.

Each Fund’s management fee consists of two components – a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within 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.

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

 

Average Daily Net Assets      Kansas      Kentucky      Michigan      Missouri      Ohio      Wisconsin  
For the first $125 million        0.3500      0.3500      0.3500      0.3500      0.3500      0.3500
For the next $125 million        0.3375         0.3375         0.3375         0.3375         0.3375         0.3375   
For the next $250 million        0.3250         0.3250         0.3250         0.3250         0.3250         0.3250   
For the next $500 million        0.3125         0.3125         0.3125         0.3125         0.3125         0.3125   
For the next $1 billion        0.3000         0.3000         0.3000         0.3000         0.3000         0.3000   
For the next $3 billion        0.2750         0.2750         0.2750         0.2750         0.2750         0.2750   
For net assets over $5 billion        0.2500         0.2500         0.2500         0.2500         0.2500         0.2500   

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

 

Complex-Level Asset Breakpoint Level*      Effective Rate at Breakpoint Level  
$55 billion        0.2000
$56 billion        0.1996   
$57 billion        0.1989   
$60 billion        0.1961   
$63 billion        0.1931   
$66 billion        0.1900   
$71 billion        0.1851   
$76 billion        0.1806   
$80 billion        0.1773   
$91 billion        0.1691   
$125 billion        0.1599   
$200 billion        0.1505   
$250 billion        0.1469   
$300 billion        0.1445   
* 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 certain types of leverage. For these purposes, 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, 2015, the complex-level fee rate for each of these Funds was as follows:

 

        Complex-Level Fee Rate  

Kansas

       0.1639

Kentucky

       0.1639   

Michigan

       0.1639   

Missouri

       0.1752   

Ohio

       0.1675   

Wisconsin

       0.1639   

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, acquired fund fees and expenses, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses) for Ohio do not exceed .750% of the average daily net assets of any class of Fund shares.

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 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 current fiscal period, 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   $ 76,089       $ 158,446       $ 47,099       $ 101,276       $ 118,521       $ 34,877   
Paid to financial intermediaries     64,845         135,264         41,358         86,475         100,283         30,041   

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 current fiscal period, the Distributor compensated financial intermediaries directly with commission advances at the time of purchase as follows:

 

     Kansas      Kentucky      Michigan      Missouri      Ohio      Wisconsin  
Commission advances   $ 34,359       $ 18,247       $ 25,741       $ 60,181       $ 47,846       $ 9,592   

To compensate for commissions advanced to financial intermediaries, all 12b-1 service and distribution fees collected on Class C and Class C2 Shares during the first year following a purchase are retained by the Distributor. During the current fiscal period, the Distributor retained such 12b-1 fees as follows:

 

     Kansas      Kentucky      Michigan      Missouri      Ohio      Wisconsin  
12b-1 fees retained   $ 22,103       $ 12,929       $ 29,520       $ 22,892       $ 22,214       $ 8,202   

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 current fiscal period, as follows:

 

     Kansas      Kentucky      Michigan      Missouri      Ohio      Wisconsin  
CDSC retained   $   —       $ 1,433       $ 573       $ 1,039       $ 2,591       $ 515   

8. Borrowing Arrangements

During the current fiscal period, the Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Adviser (“Participating Funds”), established a 364-day, $2.53 billion standby credit facility with a group of lenders, under which the Participating Funds may borrow for various purposes other than leveraging for investment purposes. A large portion of this facility’s capacity (and its associated costs as described below) is currently dedicated for use by a small number of Participating Funds, which does not include any of the Funds covered by this shareholder report. The remaining capacity under the facility (and the corresponding portion of the facility’s annual costs) is separately dedicated to most of the other open-end funds in the Nuveen fund family, including all of the Funds covered by this shareholder report, along with a number of Nuveen closed-end funds. The credit facility expires in July 2016 unless extended or renewed.

The credit facility has the following terms: a fee of 0.15% per annum on unused commitment amounts, and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) one-month LIBOR (London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) plus 1.25% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.25% per annum on amounts borrowed. Participating Funds paid administration, legal and arrangement fees, which are recognized as a component of “Other expenses” on the Statement of Operations, and along with commitment fees, have been allocated among such Participating Funds based upon the relative proportions of the facility’s aggregate capacity reserved for them and other factors deemed relevant by the Adviser and the Board of each Participating Fund.

During the current fiscal period, none of the Funds utilized this facility.

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.

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.

Effective Leverage (Effective Leverage Ratio): Effective leverage is investment exposure created either through borrowings or indirectly through inverse floaters, divided by the assets invested, including those assets that were purchased with the proceeds of the leverage, or referenced by the levered instrument.

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. 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 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 Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average represents the overall average of returns for funds from multiple 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) Per Share: A fund’s Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash and accrued earnings) less its total liabilities. For funds with multiple classes, Net Assets are determined separately for each share class. NAV per share is equal to the fund’s (or share class’) Net Assets divided by its 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 Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade U.S. municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.

Total Investment Exposure: Total investment exposure is a fund’s assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes a fund’s use of preferred stock and borrowings and investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities.

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