Chairman’s Letter
to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
Whether politics or the economy will prevail over the financial markets this year has been a much-analyzed question. After the U.S. presidential election, stocks rallied to new all-time highs, bonds tumbled, and business and consumer sentiment grew pointedly optimistic. But, to what extent the White House can translate rhetoric into stronger economic and corporate earnings growth remains to be seen. Stock prices have experienced upward momentum driven by positive economic news and earnings growth, inflation is ticking higher and interest rates are higher amid the Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hikes.
At the year’s halfway point, the political landscape and its implications for the economy continue to be reevaluated. The lack of success in reforming health care policy has cast doubts on the president’s ability to move his agenda of pro-growth legislation forward. Additionally, Brexit negotiations in the U.K. face new uncertainties in light of the reshuffling of Parliament following the June snap election.
Nevertheless, there is a case for optimism. The jobs recovery, firming wages, the housing market and confidence measures are supportive of continued expansion in the economy. The Fed enacted a series of interest rate hikes in December 2016, March 2017 and June 2017, a vote of confidence that its employment and inflation targets are generally on track. Economies outside the U.S. have strengthened in recent months, possibly heralding the beginnings of a global synchronized recovery. Furthermore, the populist/nationalist undercurrent that helped deliver President Trump’s win and triggered the U.K.’s Brexit remained in the minority during both March’s Dutch general election and May’s French presidential election, easing the political uncertainty surrounding Germany’s elections later this year.
In the meantime, the markets will be focused on economic sentiment surveys along with “hard” data such as consumer and business spending to gauge the economy’s progress. With the Fed now signaling its intention to begin shrinking its balance sheet in addition to raising interest rates, policy moves that are more aggressive than expected could spook the markets and potentially stifle economic growth. On the political economic front, President Trump’s other signature platform plank, protectionism, is arguably anti-growth. We expect some churning in the markets as these issues sort themselves out.
Market volatility readings have been remarkably low of late, but conditions can change quickly. As market conditions evolve, Nuveen remains committed to rigorously assessing opportunities and risks. If you’re concerned about how resilient your investment portfolio might be, we encourage you to talk to your financial advisor. 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,
William J. Schneider
Chairman of the Board
July 24, 2017

What factors affected the U.S. economy and the national municipal market during the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2017?
During the twelve-month reporting period, the U.S. economy continued to grow moderately, now ranking the current expansion as the third-longest since World War II, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. The second half of 2016 saw a short-term boost in economic activity, driven by a one-time jump in exports during the third quarter, but the economy resumed a below-trend pace thereafter. The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported an annual growth rate of 1.2% for the U.S. economy in the first quarter of 2017, as measured by the “second” estimate of real gross domestic product (GDP), which is the value of goods and services produced by the nation’s economy less the value of the goods and services used up in production, adjusted for price changes. By comparison, the annual GDP growth rate in the fourth quarter of 2016 was 2.1%.
Despite the slowdown in early 2017, other data pointed to positive momentum. The labor market continued to tighten, inflation ticked higher, and consumer and business confidence surveys reflected optimism about the economy’s prospects. As reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate fell to 4.3% in May 2017 from 4.7% in May 2016 and job gains averaged around 181,000 per month for the past twelve months. Higher oil prices helped drive a steady increase in inflation over this reporting period. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 1.9% over the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2017 on a seasonally adjusted basis, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The core CPI (which excludes food and energy) increased 1.7% during the same period, slightly below the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) unofficial longer term inflation objective of 2.0%. The housing market also continued to improve, with historically low mortgage rates and low inventory driving home prices higher. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index, which covers all nine U.S. census divisions, recorded a 5.5% annual gain in April 2017 (most recent data avail

able at the time this report was prepared) (effective July 26, 2016, the S&P/Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index was renamed the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index). The 10-City and 20-City Composites reported year-over-year increases of 4.9% and 5.7%, respectively.
The Fed’s policy making committee raised its main benchmark interest rate in December 2016, March 2017 and June 2017 (subsequent to the close of this reporting period). These moves were widely expected by the markets and, while the Fed acknowledged in its June 2017 statement that inflation has remained unexpectedly low, an additional increase is anticipated later in 2017 as the Fed seeks to gradually “normalize” interest rates. Also after the June 2017 meeting, the Fed revealed its plan to begin shrinking its balance sheets by allowing a small amount of maturing Treasury and mortgage securities to roll off without reinvestment. The timing of this is less certain, however, as it depends on whether the economy performs in line with the Fed’s expectations.
Politics also dominated the headlines in this reporting period with two major electoral surprises: the U.K.’s vote to leave the European Union and Donald Trump’s win in the U.S. presidential race. Market volatility increased as markets digested the initial shocks, but generally recovered and, in the case of the “Trump rally,” U.S. equities saw significant gains. Investors also closely watched elections across Europe. To the markets’ relief, more mainstream candidates were elected in the Dutch and French elections in the spring of 2017. However, Britain’s June 2017 snap election unexpectedly overturned the Conservative Party’s majority in Parliament, which increased uncertainties about the Brexit negotiation process.
For the municipal bond market, performance was defined by a major sell-off in municipal bonds following the presidential election and the market’s subsequent recovery in the first half of 2017. Prior to the election, municipal bond mutual funds had been drawing steady inflows from September 2015 to October 2016, which kept demand outpacing supply and supported prices. However, beginning in mid-October, demand began to soften in anticipation of a Fed rate hike. Municipal bond prices continued to fall in November after President Trump’s win triggered rising inflation and interest rate expectations as well as speculation on tax code changes, and in December 2016 due to tax-loss selling. A sharp rise in interest rates after the election fueled a reversal in municipal bond fund flow. Municipal bond funds experienced large outflows in the fourth quarter of 2016, especially in the high yield municipal segment, which drove mutual fund managers to sell positions to help meet investor redemptions. At the same time, new issuance spiked in October 2016, further contributing to excess supply and exacerbating falling prices and credit spread widening.
However, stabilizing market conditions in December 2016 gave way to a rally in the first quarter of 2017. Concerns that the new administration’s fiscal, tax and health care policy agenda could have a potentially negative impact on municipal bonds eased somewhat. By the end of the reporting period, interest rates reached a higher level than where they began.
In the reporting period overall, municipal bond issuance nationwide totaled $421.0 billion, an 8.1% gain from the issuance for the twelve-month period ended May 31, 2016. Gross issuance remains robust as issuers continue to actively and aggressively refund their outstanding debt given the low interest rate environment. In these transactions the issuers are issuing new bonds and taking the bond proceeds and redeeming (calling) old bonds. These refunding transactions have ranged from 40%-60% of total issuance over the past few years. Thus, the net issuance (all bonds issued less bonds redeemed) is actually much lower than the gross issuance. In fact, the total municipal bonds outstanding has actually declined in each of the past four calendar years. So, the gross is surging, but the net is not and this was an overall positive technical factor on municipal bond investment performance in recent years. However, as interest rates moved higher, the pace of refunding deals began to moderate.
Although the municipal bond market experienced widening credit spreads over a short period after the election, the trend was more attributable to technical conditions than a change in the fundamental backdrop. Despite the U.S. economy’s rather sluggish recovery, improving state and local balance sheets have contributed to generally good credit fundamentals. Higher tax revenue growth, better expense management and a more cautious approach to new debt issuance have led to credit upgrades and stable credit outlooks for many state and local issuers. While some pockets of weakness continued to grab headlines, including Illinois, New Jersey and Puerto Rico, their problems were largely contained, with minimal spillover into the broader municipal market.
What were the U.S. economic and municipal market environments in Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin during the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2017?
Kansas’ economic growth continues to lag national economic growth. For 2016, the state’s GDP grew a minimal 0.2%, significantly trailing national GDP growth of 1.5% and ranking as the 42nd slowest among all states. As of May 2017, Kansas’ unemployment rate of 3.7% remained below the national unemployment rate of 4.3% and was a slight improvement from the previous year’s rate of 3.8% though this is partially due to contraction of the labor force. On the fiscal front, Kansas continues to deal with a significant number of

issues following Governor Brownback’s aggressive income tax cuts that began in Fiscal Year 2013. Since implementation, income tax revenue collections declined greater than anticipated and in total have fallen nearly $1 billion. Facing a significant $889 million budget shortfall, the legislature recently approved a bill that would raise $1.2 billion in income tax revenues for Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019. The legislature also passed a bill that would increase funding for public schools by $293 million over the two years, which was in response to a Kansas Supreme Court decision requiring the State to increase funding for public schools. On June 6, 2017, Governor Brownback vetoed both bills. The Senate and House gained enough votes to override the Governor’s veto. On August 16, 2016, Moody’s affirmed the Aa2 rating and negative outlook on the State of Kansas. The negative outlook is due to the state’s ongoing difficulties in regaining structural budget balance. On February 8, 2017, S&P affirmed the AA- rating and assigned a negative outlook citing continued recent weak economic trends and structural budget pressures. For the twelve months ending May 31, 2017, municipal issuance in Kansas totaled $3.3 billion, representing a 26% decrease from the twelve months ended May 31, 2016.
Kentucky’s economy continues to improve, but remained a below average performer last year. In 2016, the Commonwealth’s economy posted growth of just 1.3%, below the national growth rate of 1.5%, ranking Kentucky about middle of the pack of GDP growth by state. As of May 2017, the jobless rate was 5.0%. Manufacturing accounts for an above average 13.2% of the state’s jobs, compared with 8.7% nationally. Auto manufacturing in the state has continued to do well, helped out by the strong demand for cars and trucks in the past couple of years. Additionally, the shipping industry has ramped up in the state from both UPS (the state’s second largest employer) and Amazon, with Amazon investing in a $1.5 billion new shipping facility in Hebron expected to create 2,700 jobs. Mining employment has continued to see large declines in recent years. Despite improvements in the job market, the state continues to lag the nation in terms of income metrics, educational attainment and population growth. Pension contributions are budgeted to make up 13.8% and 13.2% of Fiscal Year 2017 and 2018 spending. The State has relied largely on budgetary cuts in the current biennium (2017 & 2018) that includes cuts to agencies by 9%, public colleges and universities by 4.5% and a draw on reserves. Pension underfunding is a significant concern for the state. The combined unfunded pension liability is estimated at $26.5 billion. Though the state does not have any outstanding general obligation debt, as of May 2017 the state’s implied general obligation rating and outlook was Aa2 (stable) by Moody’s and A+ (negative) by S&P. The state typically issues annual appropriation debt, which is rated a notch lower at Aa3 and A, by Moody’s and S&P. For the twelve months ending May 2017, Kentucky issued $5.1 billion in municipal bonds, a gross issuance increase of 8.7% to the prior twelve months ended May 2016.
Michigan’s economic growth has outpaced many of its Great Lakes region neighbors in recent years, driven by employment growth, continued diversification and multiple years of strong domestic auto sales. Strong domestic auto sales have bolstered growth in Michigan over the economic recovery, but will be less of a positive factor over the next few years. To a large extent, the Michigan economy remains tied to events in the auto industry, as the “Big Three” (General Motors, Ford and Chrysler) continued to rank among the state’s five largest employers. Overall, Michigan remained heavily reliant on manufacturing, which represented 13.8% of employment in the state, compared with 8.7% nationally. As of May 2017, Michigan’s unemployment rate was 4.2%, nearly the lowest level in the last fifteen years. Favorably, the state’s labor force participation rate has remained stable as unemployment has improved, indicating a real improvement in job growth. Following the peak in housing prices in mid-2006, home prices in Michigan declined dramatically and the inventory of foreclosed homes remained elevated in many of the state’s hardest-hit metropolitan areas, including Detroit, Warren and Flint. Improvement in the state economy has brought slow, steady improvement in the housing market. According to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index of 20 major metropolitan areas, housing prices in Detroit rose 7.4% over the twelve months ended April 2017 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared), well above the national average increase of 5.5%. On the fiscal front, as revenues improved, the state has demonstrated a commitment to rebuilding reserves and maintaining structurally balanced operations. The state’s previously depleted budget stabilization/rainy day reserve fund is now on pace to reach $1 billion by the end of Fiscal Year 2018. The state’s improved financial and cash position has eliminated the need for cash flow borrowing, which the state hasn’t had to resort to since 2011. Strong income and sales tax revenue growth have helped make this possible, though the pace of revenue growth is now projected to slow over the next year. Revenue growth is projected to slow over the next two years. This slowdown and a recently quantified gap in infrastructure spending have the potential to pose future budgetary pressure. Michigan’s infrastructure investment has fallen behind other states and a recent state commission identified an annual investment gap of approximately $4 billion. Increased funding for roads and transit programs is included in the governor’s proposed $56.3 billion budget for Fiscal Year 2018, which overall represents a 2.5% increase over the prior year. As of June 2017, Moody’s and S&P rated Michigan general obligation (GO) debt at Aa1 and AA-, respectively. During the twelve months ended May 31, 2017, municipal issuance in Michigan totaled $10.9 billion, a gross issuance decrease of 0.6% from the twelve months ended May 31, 2016.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
Missouri’s economic recovery continues to lag national economic growth. For 2016, national GDP grew 1.5% and outpaced Missouri’s GDP growth rate of 1.1%. Missouri's growth ranked 29th nationally. As of May 2017, Missouri's unemployment rate of 4.2% remains below the national unemployment rate of 4.3%. The state saw growth in the following sectors: manufacturing, trade/transportation/utilities, financial activities, professional and business services, and education and health services, and leisure and hospitality. Missouri’s state exports increased by 2.1% in 2016 attributable to civilian aircraft and trade increasing with Canada and Mexico. The Missouri Constitution requires that the state pass a balanced budget. Due to income tax collections running slightly behind estimates, the Fiscal Year 2018 budget includes a 6.6% cut to Missouri colleges and universities. Moody’s, S&P and Fitch rate Missouri general obligation debt at Aaa/AAA/AAA and all have stable outlooks. For the twelve months ended May 31, 2017, municipal issuance in Missouri totaled $4.3 billion, representing a 21.9% decrease from the twelve months ended May 31, 2016.
Ohio’s economy has been growing at a moderate rate, but slowed to 1.9% in the fourth quarter of 2016 and 1.6% for all of 2016. The state’s unemployment rate edged up to 4.9%, which is higher than the 4.3% rate for the U.S. as of May 2017. Manufacturing is the largest of Ohio’s major employment sectors as the state continues to be a leading producer of steel and autos. Weaker demand for autos and for industrial machinery and metals has led to declines in manufacturing employment this past year and likely in 2017 as well. Offsetting the decline in manufacturing employment is the growth in technical, scientific and professional services positions. Cincinnati and Columbus have become attractive locations for the high-tech industry, venture capital firms and health care startups. The state has experienced a small boom in oil and gas production, due largely to hydraulic fracturing in the Utica shale field in the Appalachian Basin. The count of active rotary rigs has increased since the latter half of 2016, thanks to rising natural gas prices. According to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index, housing prices in Cleveland rose 3.4% over the twelve months ended April 2017 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared), compared with a 5.5% price increase nationally. On the fiscal front, Ohio’s revenues have softened along with its economic growth. Fiscal year-to-date (through January 2017) General Fund tax receipts are down 1.3% compared to the prior year-to-date collections. Governor Kasich’s proposed Fiscal Year 2018-2019 biennial budget continues to reduce the state’s reliance on income tax revenue with a 17% income-tax cut over the next two years. The reduction is offset by raising the taxes on liquor, tobacco and gas drilling, as well as expanding the state’s sales tax from 5.75% to 6.25%. Ohio has prioritized and rebuilt its Budget Stabilization Fund since the recession. The state raised the statutory target to 8.5% (from 5%) of total general fund revenues. The current Budget Stabilization Fund balance of $2 billion is 9% of general fund revenues. As of February 2017, Moody’s and S&P rated Ohio GO debt at Aa1 and AA+, respectively, with stable outlooks. For the twelve months ended May 31, 2017, municipal issuance in Ohio totaled $10.7 billion, a gross issuance increase of 5.1% compared with the twelve months ended May 31, 2016.
Wisconsin’s economy has seen six consecutive years of growth and is considered moderately strong, though several metrics fell slightly behind the U.S. last year. In 2016 the state’s economy expanded at a rate of 2.6%, below the national growth rate of 3.0%, ranking Wisconsin 27th in terms of GDP growth by state. The state’s employment growth is no longer outpacing the Midwest and slightly underperforming the U.S. Though the state’s economy has diversified, manufacturing still accounts for an elevated 16.2% of employment in the state, compared to the national average of 8.7%. Wisconsin’s unemployment rate typically trends below the nation, as of May 2017 was 3.1% well below the national rate of 4.3%. As of 2016, the most recent data available, the state ranked 25th with per capita personal income at 95.4% of the nation. Wisconsin’s two-year budget for Fiscal 2016 and 2017 was balanced based on aggressive revenue growth assumptions which were subsequently revised down, forcing mid-year expenditure cuts. The governor’s proposed budget for the next biennium (2018-2019) forecasts revenue growth exceeding 3% each year, driven by income and sales tax revenue growth. Spending growth is set to exceed revenues, so mid-year adjustments may again be necessary, but the state has historically been able to successfully implement mid-year cuts. The state’s Rainy Day or Budget Stabilization fund has maintained a balance of about $280 million since 2013. This is equivalent to less than 2% of appropriations, but the highest amount ever in the fund’s history. The governor’s proposal for the next two-year budget cycle for Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019, plans to add another $20 million to the reserve fund. Wisconsin’s debt levels remain above average. Wisconsin is ranked 15th among states with tax supported debt per capita at $1,739, above the national median of $1,006. Debt as a percentage of personal income is 3.8%, also above the national median of 2.5%. Wisconsin’s high debt ratios are partially attributed to its issuance of $1.8 billion in 2003 to fund the State’s pension liability. As a result, the state has no unfunded pension liability. Wisconsin’s general obligation debt carried ratings of Aa2 from Moody’s and AA from S&P. Moody’s maintains a positive outlook on the state. For the twelve months ended May 31, 2017, Wisconsin issued $10.1 billion of municipal bonds, a gross issuance increase of 23.8% from the twelve-month period ended May 31, 2016.

How did the Funds perform during the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2017?
The tables in the Fund Performance, Expense Ratios and Effective Leverage Ratios section of this report provide each Fund’s total return performance for the one-year, five-year, ten-year and/or since inception periods ended May 31, 2017. Each Fund’s Class A share at net asset value (NAV) returns are compared with the performance of its corresponding market index and Lipper classification average.
During the reporting period, the Class A Shares at NAV of all six Funds underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index. The Kentucky, Michigan and Missouri Funds each outperformed their respective Lipper classification average, while the Kansas, Ohio and Wisconsin Funds underperformed their respective Lipper classification average.
What strategies were used to manage the Funds during the reporting period and how did these strategies influence performance during the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2017?
All of the Funds continued to employ the same fundamental investment strategies and tactics long relied upon by NAM. Our municipal bond portfolios are managed with a value-oriented approach and close input from NAM’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
The Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund’s Class A Shares at NAV underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2017. In part, this result reflected the Kansas municipal market’s underperformance of the national municipal market, a trend that stemmed from concern about legislators’ failure to address significant state budget deficits.
Looking more closely at the Fund’s portfolio, our positioning with respect to Puerto Rico detracted from relative performance during the reporting period. We were underweighted in bonds issued by this credit challenged U.S. territory, which are not issued in Kansas, but make up a significant portion of the national index. Furthermore, our Puerto Rico bond exposure, approximately 1.27%, was insured and these securities did not fare as well as their uninsured counterparts did during this reporting period.
The general underperformance of Kansas securities was especially pronounced among lower quality bonds. As a result, overweightings in bonds rated BBB and below, as well as non-rated bonds, was detrimental as these issues trailed similarly rated bonds in the index.
Sector positioning further detracted from relative results, led by the poor performance of corporate-backed industrial development revenue and dedicated-sales-tax bonds, two sectors that lagged the index. However, the negative effects of these stances were somewhat offset by our productive overweightings in the health care category as well as among out-of-state tobacco securities. Underweighting the underperforming local general obligation sector also added value.
In managing the Fund, we had significant monies to invest during this reporting period, due to net investment inflows as well as bond calls, bond maturities and sales of certain lower coupon securities from the Fund's investment portfolio. Although we successfully added some Kansas bonds, supply in the state was constrained during the reporting period. Furthermore, much of the supply that came to market consisted of state-appropriated debt, a sector we tended to avoid given the state’s deteriorating fiscal condition. Accordingly, when making purchases, we often ventured outside the state to buy bonds offering higher yields and what we saw as better value than comparable in-state bonds. This approach allowed us to increase the portfolio’s yield as well as to further diversify its holdings. However, we purchased non-Kansas bonds only when we believed we were being rewarded with sufficient incremental yield or total return prospects relative to alternative in-state bonds to compensate for the additional state income tax liability on such out-of-state bonds. Many of these out-of-state purchases were made after the post-election municipal bond sell-off and were focused on project revenue bonds from recognizable issuers offering attractive amounts of incremental yield. Such purchases included bonds issued for 3 World Trade Center Project (New York), American Airlines (New York), LaGuardia Airport (New York) and Iowa Fertilizer Company Project. We also purchased tobacco bonds from a number of states.
Throughout the reporting period, we maintained exposure to bonds issued by Guam, which we favored for the bonds’ attractive yields relative to Kansas issues and the U.S. territory’s stable fiscal and economic condition. However, we reduced our stake in U.S. Virgin Islands securities based on concern about the territory’s deteriorating credit outlook. The fully tax-exempt Kansas purchases we made during the reporting period included the Hutchinson Regional Medical Center and Overland Park Sales Tax Revenue bonds, both of which came to market during the reporting period with attractive yields and prices.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
Bond sales included several lower coupon bonds that we were able to replace with similarly structured but higher yielding issues. We also used the proceeds of new investment inflows, as well as bond calls and maturities, to fund new purchases.
Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund
The Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund trailed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2017, due partly to its credit quality positioning. The Fund was underweighted in bonds with below investment grade credit ratings (BB and lower), which outpaced their higher quality counterparts during the reporting period. This more limited exposure to lower rated, higher yielding bonds detracted from results.
In contrast, our duration and sector positioning added value. From a duration standpoint, being overweighted in longer duration (more interest rate sensitive) securities contributed in light of their relative outperformance. In sector terms, the Fund’s overweighting in the health care category added value, given that the category outpaced the index. That favorable result was tempered, however, by an overweighting in pre-refunded bonds, whose short maturities and high credit ratings proved detrimental during this reporting period.
Security selection was, on balance, positive for relative performance. The Fund was especially helped by its higher coupon bonds, as their increased income helped insulate them from the full effects of market volatility seen during this reporting period. Also, we saw good performance from bonds we added to the Fund in the wake of the market’s late-2016 downturn, as these securities rebounded off of depressed prices. The bonds we purchased in the months leading up to that downturn were hit the hardest when bond prices plunged last November and December 2016.
We added bonds across a variety of sectors during the reporting period. In the first half of the reporting period, purchases included transportation, health care, tax-appropriation, water/sewer and local general obligation bonds. In the second half of the reporting period, our purchase activity slowed, with our only acquisitions consisting of two health care deals and state tax-appropriation debt.
To finance our purchase activity, we relied upon new shareholder investments into the Fund and call proceeds. We also engaged in limited selling of short dated bonds, which helped us in our efforts to keep the Fund’s duration from becoming too short. Throughout the reporting period, we were eager to increase the Fund’s duration, which was shorter than our target, although limited availability of long dated Kentucky debt meeting our investment criteria often made that task challenging.
In late 2016, when the market was struggling and municipal bonds were out of favor with investors, shareholder redemption activity picked up, which led to more bond sales than purchases at that time. Our sales, which focused on securities with lower embedded yields, enabled us to generate tax losses that can be applied against future gains.
Also to generate tax losses, we swapped some of our Paducah Electric Plant Board bonds for others offering a slightly longer maturity date, allowing us to improve the portfolio’s duration characteristics while locking in its income for a longer period.
Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund
The Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund trailed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2017. On the positive side, the Fund’s duration positioning added modest value, especially our underweighting in short duration, less interest rate sensitive bonds.
In contrast, credit quality positioning detracted from relative performance. During the reporting period, bonds rated below investment grade (BB or below) outperformed. Unfortunately, the Fund’s limited exposure to these securities weighed on our results. Also, the Fund’s overweighting in higher rated bonds, specifically AA rated bonds, detracted, as these types of issues underperformed.
Sector positioning also hurt performance. Specifically, overweighting pre-refunded bonds hurt, as these high quality, short duration issues were relative underperformers. Overweighting the lagging higher education category also hampered results.
In contrast, the Fund benefited overall from individual security selection, especially among tobacco securitization bonds, which led the market for the reporting period. The Fund was further helped by higher coupon bonds held in the portfolio for the entire reporting period, as their elevated income helped compensate for the bonds’ price declines. Also contributing were bonds added to the portfolio in late 2016 and early 2017, following the municipal bond market’s post-election downturn. As the market bounced back, these securities recovered off of depressed valuations. Nearly any bonds we bought last summer and early fall 2016, were weak performers given their higher valuations and increased vulnerability during the market’s sell-off.

For most of the reporting period, our focus was on putting shareholder investments and bond calls to work. This reinvestment activity was greatest early in the reporting period and the first five months of 2017, amid generally favorable market conditions. The exception came in late 2016, when investor pessimism led to increased shareholder outflows. During this latter stretch, we were selling bonds more often than we were buying them.
Our purchases during this reporting period were spread across several sectors and tended to focus on bonds with intermediate maturities and credit ratings of A and higher. New acquisitions consisted of higher education bonds as well as state and local general obligation (GO), public utility, state appropriation, water/sewer, and health care bonds.
As has been the case for several years, we continued to limit the Fund’s exposure to the debt of Southeast Michigan. This stance reflected our view that many of the bonds in this region of the state were unattractively valued relative to their yields. Accordingly, in the first half of the reporting period, we exited our position in Detroit-Wayne Country Stadium Authority GO bonds and reinvested the proceeds in other securities offering what we saw as a better long-term risk/reward balance.
During the first half of the reporting period, our limited selling activity focused on short-dated bonds that we saw as a good source of liquidity to fund other purchases. In the second half of the reporting period, we tended to sell bonds with lower embedded yields that were benefiting from good investor demand. By selling these securities, we generated tax losses that can be applied against capital gains.
Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund
The Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund’s Class A Shares at NAV modestly underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2017.
Credit quality was a key contributor to relative results. Specifically, the Fund benefited from its significant overweighting in non-rated securities. These generally fared better than investment grade debt throughout much of the reporting period, helped by strong demand from investors seeking bonds with a higher degree of income. Additionally, our security selection among bonds rated A and BBB was another positive, with holdings in these credit tiers generally outpacing similarly rated bonds in the index.
Sector positioning also boosted relative results, thanks largely to our significant overweighting in the health care sector, which outperformed the index during the reporting period. In contrast, the Fund’s lack of exposure to tobacco bonds modestly detracted. Although they represent part of the Fund’s national municipal market benchmark, such securities are not issued in Missouri. As investors favored the sector for its income, tobacco bonds outperformed the overall municipal bond market.
We continued to hold a small exposure in the insured Puerto Rico COFINA sales tax revenue bonds. This was a modest plus for relative performance, given that bonds from this U.S territory outperformed largely due to their attractive yields.
The Fund’s duration (interest rate) positioning had a generally neutral effect on relative performance. The Fund’s duration was slightly longer than that of the index, which added value early and late in the reporting period but was an offsetting negative in late 2016, when the municipal market was under pressure.
In contrast, the Fund’s coupon positioning was a mild detractor from relative performance. The Fund had an overweighting in bonds with sub 4% coupon, which lagged the municipal bond market during the weeks after the November 2016 U.S. elections. These securities experienced bigger price declines than their higher coupon counterparts during the post-election sell-off and began trading at significant discounts to their par (face) value. Investors tend to require additional yield on discounted securities, given the potentially unfavorable tax treatment in certain situations of bonds purchased at a steep discount to par.
In response to the general weakening in the municipal bond market during late 2016, we looked for opportunities to exchange some holdings offering coupons of around 4% and below with those providing higher coupons. We felt our higher coupon purchases could provide the Fund with a better income stream and would likely outperform the lower coupon bonds should interest rates move higher. By engaging in these swaps, we were also able to generate tax losses that we will be able to apply against future gains. Some notable additions to the Fund from both the swapping and the normal investing process included a number of smaller low investment grade credits, as well as some higher quality, better known names such as Saint Luke’s Health System, BJC Health Systems, Saint Louis University, and the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
At the end of the reporting period, the Fund held small positions in several double tax-exempt investment grade issues from Guam, which we favored for their high coupons and income stream relative to most Missouri issues available during the reporting period. These, along with the insured Puerto Rico bonds discussed earlier, were the only non-Missouri bonds held in the Fund.
Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund
The Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2017, due in part to unfavorable credit quality positioning. Specifically, an underweighting in bonds with credit ratings of BB and below hurt results, as did an overweighting in the AA rating category. Below investment grade bonds generally outperformed higher grade issuers during this reporting period and our reduced exposure to the former hampered results.
On a sector basis, an overweighting in pre-refunded bonds weighed on relative performance, as these short maturity, high quality securities trailed the index. An overweighting in the lagging water/sewer bond category also weighed on returns.
On the positive side, the Fund’s duration contributed to results, led by an overweighting in bonds with durations of 14 years and longer, a strong performing market segment. Meanwhile, an underweighting in short duration bonds also added value in light of that category’s relative underperformance.
The overwhelming majority of our portfolio holdings experienced stable credit quality during the reporting period. A notable exception to this trend, however, was the Fund’s investment in the unsecured bonds of FirstEnergy Solutions. Bonds issued by this investor-owned electric utility, a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corporation, were laggards early in the reporting period as falling natural gas prices ignited more competition for electricity generators and providers. In November 2016, FirstEnergy Solutions lost additional value, when the company’s management raised the possibility of bankruptcy as part of its plan to exit the competitive power generation business within 18 months. In the final months of the reporting period, however, FirstEnergy Solutions bonds staged a partial comeback largely due to the overall strength of the municipal market. Through the end of the reporting period, FirstEnergy had met all of its debt service obligations. However, positive contributions from our selections in lower grade, higher duration bonds helped offset some of the detraction.
Higher coupon bonds added value, as their increased income helped them better withstand the effects of market volatility seen during the reporting period. The Fund also saw good performance from bonds we purchased in the wake of the market’s downturn late in 2016, as these securities rebounded off depressed prices. In contrast, bonds we bought in the months leading up to that downturn were disappointments during this reporting period.
For most of the reporting period, we were receiving new investments into the Fund. Coupled with bond call activity, we acquired substantial proceeds requiring reinvestment. The exception to this trend came late in 2016, when municipal bonds were out of favor with investors and we were forced to sell some holdings to satisfy shareholder redemptions.
During this latter stretch, we generally sold bonds with lower embedded yields and for which we were able to obtain good prices. These sales enabled us to generate tax losses that in the future we will be able to apply against capital gains. Another realized tax loss came when we traded bonds in American Municipal Power bonds for identically structured issues but a longer maturity date, allowing us to improve the Fund’s income characteristics.
New purchases took place primarily in the secondary municipal bond market, where we found better availability and values, and included water/sewer, local and state general obligation, dedicated-tax, local appropriation, local utility, higher education, tax increment financing and health care bonds. Our purchases emphasized intermediate and longer-maturity bonds with investment grade credit ratings.
Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund
The Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund’s Class A Shares at NAV significantly underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2017. The Wisconsin municipal market trailed the national municipal market, putting the Fund at a performance disadvantage relative to the national index.
Lower rated Wisconsin securities in particular underperformed their similarly rated counterparts in the national benchmark. This proved a difficult hurdle for the Fund to overcome, given its overweighting in non-rated, below investment grade securities and lower investment grade BBB rated debt. However, our exposure to some out-of-state securities in these credit rating tiers was a somewhat offsetting positive, as these securities outpaced the index.
12      NUVEEN


The Fund’s performance was further hampered by its significant underweighting in Puerto Rico bonds, which were among the national municipal bond market’s best performers. Furthermore, our exposure of 1.53% in Puerto Rico debt, was insured, which limited their price appreciation during the reporting period.
On a sector basis, the Fund was hampered by its overweighting in dedicated sales-tax bonds and corporate-backed industrial development revenue bonds, both of which trailed the index. The Fund’s significant overweighting in health care issues added value, however, as the sector performed well.
During the reporting period, the supply of fully tax-exempt investments in the Wisconsin market was extremely limited, as most issuers refrained from bringing new bonds to market. Furthermore, debt issued by Wisconsin, the state’s largest issuer of municipal bonds does not offer a state income tax exemption. Together, these factors severely limited opportunities for us to purchase fully tax-exempt Wisconsin bonds.
More often, we focused on out-of-state investments we saw as more attractively valued than in-state alternatives, emphasizing bonds with enough yield to compensate for the lack of a Wisconsin income tax benefit. Owning such securities helped enhance the Fund’s diversification profile and its income stream. New out-of-state purchases during the reporting period included bonds issued for 3 World Trade Center Project (New York), American Airlines (New York) and Iowa Fertilizer Company Project. We also purchased tobacco bonds from a number of states including Iowa and California, as well as the U.S. territory of Guam.
With our Wisconsin purchases, we emphasized fully tax-exempt securities across a variety of sectors with intermediate- to longer-term maturities. This approach helped us keep the Fund’s duration positioning (interest rate sensitivity) fairly consistent throughout the reporting period. Notable in-state purchases included bonds for Monroe Clinic, Marshfield Clinic, Beloit College, and Milwaukee Redevelopment Authority for Milwaukee Public Schools. Our purchases during this reporting period, both in-state and out of state, were financed through the proceeds of investment inflows, bond calls and bond maturities.
An Update Regarding 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: Puerto Rico’s ongoing debt restructuring is one such case. Puerto Rico began warning investors in 2014 that the island’s debt burden might prove to be unsustainable and the Commonwealth pursued various strategies to deal with this burden.
In June 2016, President Obama signed the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act (PROMESA) into law. The legislation established an independent Financial Oversight and Management Board charged with restructuring Puerto Rico’s financial operations and encouraging economic development. In addition to creating an oversight board, PROMESA also provides a legal framework and court-supervised debt restructuring process that enables Puerto Rico to adjust its debt obligations. In March 2017, the oversight board certified a ten-year fiscal plan projecting revenues, expenditures and a primary fiscal surplus available for debt service over the plan horizon. The fiscal plan was considered quite detrimental to creditors, identifying available resources to pay only about 24% of debt service due over the ten year term. In May 2017, the oversight board initiated a bankruptcy-like process for the general government, general obligation debt, the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (COFINA), the Highways and Transportation Authority (HTA), and the Employee Retirement System. Officials have indicated more public corporations could follow. As of June 2017 (subsequent to the close of this reporting period), Puerto Rico has defaulted on many of its debt obligations, including General Obligation bonds.
In terms of Puerto Rico holdings, shareholders should note that the Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund had limited exposure, which was insured to Puerto Rico debt during this reporting period, holding approximately 1.34%, 1.26% and 1.59%, respectively. The Puerto Rico credits offered higher yields, added diversification and triple exemption (i.e., exemption from most federal, state and local taxes). Puerto Rico general obligation debt is currently in default and rated Caa3/D/D by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, with negative outlooks.
A Note About Investment Valuations
The municipal securities held by the Funds are valued by the Funds’ pricing service using a range of market-based inputs and assumptions. A different municipal pricing service might incorporate different assumptions and inputs into its valuation methodology, potentially resulting in different values for the same securities. These differences could be significant, both as to such individual securities, and as to the value of a given Fund’s portfolio in its entirety. Thus, the current net asset value of a Fund’s shares may be impacted,
NUVEEN      13


Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
higher or lower, if the Fund were to change its pricing service, or if its pricing service were to materially change its valuation methodology. On October 4, 2016, the Funds’ current municipal bond pricing service was acquired by the parent company of another pricing service. The two services have not yet combined their valuation organizations and process, but it was recently announced that combination is scheduled to take place on October 16, 2017 (subject to change). Such changes could have an impact on the net asset value of the Funds' shares.

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 May 31, 2017, the Funds had positive UNII balances for tax purposes. Kansas, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin had positive UNII balances, while Kentucky and Michigan had negative UNII balances for financial reporting purposes.
All monthly dividends paid by each Fund 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. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Total returns for a period of less than one year are not annualized. Returns at net asset value (NAV) would be lower if the sales charge were included. Returns assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. For performance, current to the most recent month-end visit Nuveen.com or call (800) 257-8787.
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.
Returns reflect differences in sales charges and expenses, which are primarily differences in distribution and service fees, and assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.
Comparative index and Lipper return information is provided for Class A Shares at 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 its investment capital. The effective leverage ratio shown for each Fund is the amount of investment exposure created either directly 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. A Fund may from time to time borrow on a typically transient basis in connection with its day-to-day operations, primarily in connection with the need to pay cash out to redeeming shareholders or to settle portfolio trades. Such incidental borrowings, described generally in Notes to Financial Statements, Note 8—Borrowing Arrangements, are excluded from the calculation of a Fund’s effective leverage ratio.

Yields as of May 31, 2017
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. Subsidized yields reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements from the investment adviser during the period. If any such waivers and/or reimbursements had not been in place, yields would have been reduced. Unsubsidized yields do not reflect waivers and/or reimbursements from the investment adviser during the period. Refer to the Notes to Financial Statements, Note 7  –  Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates for further details on the investment adviser’s most recent agreement with the Fund to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses, where applicable. 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 income 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 do not include the interest and related expenses from inverse floaters that are reflected in the financial statements later within this report, when applicable.
The Examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the period ended May 31, 2017.
The beginning of the period is December 1, 2016.
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 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 following 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.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of May 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets.  
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns. Optional Call Provisions are not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm.  
(3) For financial reporting purposes, the ratings disclosed are the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. This treatment of split-rated securities may differ from that used for other purposes, such as for Fund investment policies. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies. Ratings are not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm.  
(4) Investment, or portion of investment, has been pledged to collateralize the net payment obligations for investments in inverse floating rate transactions.  
(5) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities.  
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.  
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 3  –  Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives, Inverse Floating Rate Securities for more information.

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets.  
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns. Optional Call Provisions are not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm.  
(3) For financial reporting purposes, the ratings disclosed are the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. This treatment of split-rated securities may differ from that used for other purposes, such as for Fund investment policies. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies. Ratings are not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm.  
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. 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 has a maturity of greater than one year, but has variable rate and/or demand features which qualify it as a short-term investment. The rate disclosed is that in effect as of the end of the reporting period. This rate changes periodically based on market conditions or a specified market index.  
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.  
(WI/DD) Investment, or portion of investment, purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets.  
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns. Optional Call Provisions are not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm.  
(3) For financial reporting purposes, the ratings disclosed are the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. This treatment of split-rated securities may differ from that used for other purposes, such as for Fund investment policies. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies. Ratings are not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm.  
(4) Investment, or portion of investment, has been pledged to collateralize the net payment obligations for investments in inverse floating rate transactions.  
(5) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities.  
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.  
(WI/DD) Investment, or portion of investment, purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.

Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund (continued)
Portfolio of Investments May 31, 2017
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets.  
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns. Optional Call Provisions are not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm.  
(3) For financial reporting purposes, the ratings disclosed are the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. This treatment of split-rated securities may differ from that used for other purposes, such as for Fund investment policies. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies. Ratings are not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm.  
(4) Investment, or portion of investment, has been pledged to collateralize the net payment obligations for investments in inverse floating rate transactions.  
(5) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities.  
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.  
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.  
144A Investment is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These investments may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration, which are normally those transactions with qualified institutional buyers.  
(WI/DD) Investment, or portion of investment, purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.

Notes to
Financial Statements
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. 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 May 31, 2017, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017 (the "current fiscal period").
Investment Adviser
The Funds' investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC (“Nuveen”). Nuveen is the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA). The Adviser has overall responsibility for management of the Funds, oversees the management of the Funds' portfolios, manages the Funds' business affairs and provides certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services, and, if necessary, 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 Objective and Principal Investment Strategies
Each Fund's investment objective is to provide as high a level of current interest income exempt from regular federal, state, and, in some cases, local income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital.
The Funds' most recent prospectus provides further description 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”).
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 following Funds’ outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments were as follows:
  Michigan Missouri Ohio Wisconsin
Outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments $2,217,319 $3,276,181 $2,284,620 $115,746
Investment Income
Interest income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and 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, if any, 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 $250,000 ($1 million prior to November 1, 2016) 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”) of 1% if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase. 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. The Funds will issue Class C2 Shares 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 charge or 12b-1 distribution or service fees.
Multiclass Operations and Allocations
Income and expenses of the Fund 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.
Compensation
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 Funds' Board of Trustees (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.
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 Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows each Fund to offset certain securities and derivatives with a specific counterparty, when applicable, as well as any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, each Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis.
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 current fiscal 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
NUVEEN      115


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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 an independent pricing service (“pricing service”) approved by 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 observability 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 observability 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 the 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.
NUVEEN      117


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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 $11,250,000 $4,700,000 $ — $  — $  —
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 $40,940,000 $7,850,000 $ — $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 the average annual interest rates 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 $7,027,808 $4,700,000 $938,767 $ — $ —
Average annual interest rate and fees 1.28% 1.22% 1.26% 1.08%  —%  —%
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”) (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
118      NUVEEN


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 $11,250,000 $4,700,000 $ — $  — $  —
Maximum exposure to Recourse Trusts: externally-deposited Inverse Floaters  — 29,690,000 3,150,000  — 3,750,000 3,750,000
Total $8,285,000 $40,940,000 $7,850,000 $ — $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.
Although the Funds are authorized to invest in derivative instruments, and may do so in the future, they did not make any such investments during the current fiscal period.
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.
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
122      NUVEEN


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 May 31, 2017, 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 $223,261,796 $353,259,979 $205,547,699 $463,191,352 $548,428,535 $116,063,430

7.  Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees
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
124      NUVEEN


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 a determined amount (originally $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 May 31, 2017, the complex-level fee for each Fund was as follows:
Fund Complex-Level Fee
Kansas 0.1606%
Kentucky 0.1606%
Michigan 0.1606%
Missouri 0.1719%
Ohio 0.1643%
Wisconsin 0.1606%
The Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses for Ohio so that total annual Fund operating expenses, (excluding 12b-1 distribution and/or service fees, interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.75% of the average daily net assets of any class of Fund shares.
Other Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other funds managed by the Adviser (“inter-fund trade”) under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. These procedures have been designed to ensure that any inter-fund trade of securities by the Fund from or to another fund that is, or could be, considered an affiliate of the Fund under certain limited circumstances by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment adviser), common officer and/or common trustee complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each inter-fund trade is effected at the current market price as provided by an independent pricing service. Unsettled inter-fund trades as of the end of the reporting period are recognized as a component of “Receivable for investments sold” and/or “Payable for investments purchased” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.
During the current fiscal period, the following Funds engaged in inter-fund trades pursuant to these procedures as follows:
Inter-Fund Trades Kansas Missouri Wisconsin
Purchases $3,634,030 $4,492,321 $1,130,620
Sales 3,639,620  — 2,154,770
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 (Unaudited) $417,420 $415,452 $309,900 $505,407 $540,213 $207,743
Paid to financial intermediaries (Unaudited) 367,537 361,738 279,564 446,492 484,340 181,644
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.
NUVEEN      125


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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 (Unaudited) $114,884 $75,179 $144,878 $177,157 $249,146 $63,866
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 (Unaudited) $66,429 $36,270 $55,285 $94,590 $130,784 $35,115
The remaining 12b-1 fees charged to each Fund 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 (Unaudited) $4,883 $1,835 $9,155 $5,324 $8,650 $7,782
8.  Borrowing Arrangements
Uncommitted Line of Credit
During the current fiscal period, the Funds participated in an unsecured bank line of credit (“Unsecured Credit Line”) under which outstanding balances would bear interest at a variable rate. On December 31, 2016, (the only date utilized during the current fiscal period) the following Funds borrowed the following amounts from the Unsecured Credit Line, each at an annualized interest rate of 2.02% on their respective outstanding balance.
  Kansas Kentucky Missouri Ohio Wisconsin
Outstanding balance at December 31, 2016 $2,862,237 $4,718,758 $1,999,328 $3,809,692 $3,540,510
Committed Line of Credit
The Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Adviser (“Participating Funds”), have established a 364-day, approximately $3 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 2018 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.
9.  New Accounting Pronouncements
Amendments to Regulation S-X
In October 2016, the SEC adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together, the “final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date of the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management is still evaluating the impact of the final rules, if any.

Accounting Standards Update 2017-08 ("ASU 2017-08") Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities
During March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2017-08, which shortens the premium amortization period for purchased non-contingently callable debt securities. ASU 2017-08 specifies that the premium amortization period ends at the earliest call date, for purchased non-contingently callable debt securities. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU 2017-08, if any.
10.  Subsequent Events
Management Fees
During May 2017, the Board approved a change to each Fund’s annual Fund-level management fee schedule, which will become effective on August 1, 2017.
Effective August 1, 2017 the annual Fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund will be calculated according to the following schedule:
Average Daily Net Assets Kansas Kentucky Michigan Missouri Ohio Wisconsin

Glossary of Terms
Used in this Report (Unaudited)
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. The calculation of the Effective Leverage Ratio reflects borrowings effected on a long-term basis for investment purposes, but excludes borrowings that may occur, on a transient basis, in connection with a Fund’s day-to-day operations primarily in connection with the need to pay cash out to redeeming shareholders or to settle portfolio trades.
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.
Industrial Development Revenue Bond (IDR): A unique type of revenue bond issued by a state or local government agency on behalf of a private sector company and intended to build or acquire factories or other heavy equipment and tools.
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.
NUVEEN      129


Glossary of Terms Used in this Report (Unaudited) (continued)
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.

Annual Investment Management Agreement
Approval Process (Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees (the “Board,” and each Trustee, a “Board Member”) of the Funds, including the Board Members who are not parties to the Funds’ advisory or sub-advisory agreements or “interested persons” of any such parties (the “Independent Board Members”), oversees the management of the Funds, including the performance of Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”), and Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, the Funds’ sub-adviser (the “Sub-Adviser”). As required by applicable law, after the initial term of the respective Fund following commencement of its operations, the Board is required to consider annually whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement with the Adviser (the “Investment Management Agreement”) and its sub-advisory agreement with the Sub-Adviser (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Investment Management Agreement, the “Advisory Agreements”). Accordingly, the Board met in person on April 11-12, 2017 (the “April Meeting”) and May 23-25, 2017 (the “May Meeting”) to consider the approval of each Advisory Agreement for the Funds that was up for renewal for an additional one-year period.
The Board considered its review of the Advisory Agreements as an ongoing process encompassing the information received and the deliberations the Board and its committees have had throughout the year. The Board met regularly during the year and received materials and discussed topics that were relevant to the annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, including, among other things, overall market performance and developments; fund investment performance; investment team review; valuation of securities; compliance, regulatory and risk management matters; payments to intermediaries such as 12b-1 fees, sub-transfer agency fees and other payments; and other developments. The Board had also established several standing committees, including the Open-end Fund Committee and Closed-end Fund Committee, which met regularly throughout the year to permit the Board Members to delve deeper into the topics particularly relevant to the respective product line. The Board further continued its practice of seeking to meet periodically with the Sub-Adviser and its investment team. The accumulated information, knowledge, and experience the Board Members had gained during their tenure on the Board governing the Funds and working with the Fund Advisers (as defined below) were taken into account in their review of the Advisory Agreements.
In addition to the materials received by the Board or its committees throughout the year, the Board reviewed extensive additional materials prepared specifically for its annual review of the Advisory Agreements in response to a request by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Board Members. The materials addressed a variety of topics, including, but not limited to, a description of the services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser (the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are each a “Fund Adviser”); an analysis of fund performance including comparative industry data and a detailed focus on any performance outliers; an analysis of the Sub-Adviser; an analysis of the fees and expense ratios of the Nuveen funds in absolute terms and in comparison to the fees and expenses of peers with a focus on any expense outliers; an assessment of shareholder services for the Nuveen funds and of the performance of certain service providers; a review of initiatives instituted or continued during the past year; and information regarding the profitability of the Fund Advisers, the compensation of portfolio managers, and compliance and risk matters. The materials provided in connection with the annual review included information compiled and prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge” or “Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, comparing, in relevant part, each Fund’s fees and expenses with those of a comparable universe of funds (the “Peer Universe”) and with a more focused subset of the Peer Universe (the “Peer Group”), as selected by Broadridge (the “Broadridge Report”). The Independent Board Members also received a memorandum from independent legal counsel outlining their fiduciary duties and legal standards in reviewing the Advisory Agreements.
As part of its annual review, the Board met at the April Meeting to review the investment performance of the Funds and to consider the Adviser’s analysis of the Sub-Adviser evaluating, among other things, the Sub-Adviser’s assets under management, investment team, performance, organizational stability, and investment approach. During the review, the Independent Board Members requested and received additional information from management. At the May Meeting, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, continued its review and ultimately approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for an additional year. Throughout the year and throughout their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members were assisted by independent legal counsel and met with counsel separately without management present. In deciding to renew the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members did not identify a particular factor as determinative, but rather the decision reflected the comprehensive consideration of all the information presented, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various factors and information considered in connection with the approval process. The following summarizes the principal factors, but not all the factors, the Board considered in its review of the Advisory Agreements and its conclusions.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In evaluating the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the applicable Fund Adviser’s services provided to the respective Fund and the resulting performance of each Fund. The Board recognized the myriad of services the Adviser and its affiliates provided to manage and operate the Nuveen funds, including (a) product management (such as managing distributions, positioning the product in the marketplace, managing the relationships with the distribution platforms, maintaining
NUVEEN      131


Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
and enhancing shareholder communications and reporting to the Board); (b) investment oversight, risk management and securities valuation (such as overseeing the sub-advisers and other service providers, analyzing investment performance and risks, overseeing risk management and disclosure, executing the daily valuation of securities, and analyzing trade execution); (c) fund administration (such as helping to prepare fund tax returns and complete other tax compliance matters and helping to prepare regulatory filings and shareholder reports); (d) fund board administration (such as preparing board materials and organizing and providing assistance for board meetings); (e) compliance (such as helping to devise and maintain the Nuveen funds’ compliance program and test for adherence); (f) legal support (such as helping to prepare registration statements and proxy statements, interpreting regulations and policies and overseeing fund activities); (g) with respect to certain closed-end funds, providing leverage, capital and distribution management services; and (h) with respect to certain open-end funds with portfolios that have a leverage component, providing such leverage management services.
The Board further noted the Adviser’s continued dedication to investing in its business to enhance the quality and breadth of the services provided to the Funds. The Board recognized the Adviser’s investment in staffing over recent years to support the services provided to the Nuveen funds in key areas, including in investment services, product management, retail distribution and information technology, closed-end funds and structured products, as well as in fund administration, operations and risk management. The Board further noted the Adviser’s continued commitment to enhancing its compliance program by, among other things, restructuring the compliance organization, developing a unified compliance program, adding compliance staff, and developing and/or revising policies and procedures as well as building further infrastructure to address new regulatory requirements or guidance and the growth of the complex. The Board also considered the enhancements to Nuveen’s cybersecurity capabilities, systems and processes to value securities, stress test reporting and risk and control self-assessments.
In addition, the Independent Board Members considered information highlighting the various initiatives that the Adviser had implemented or continued over recent years to benefit the open-end fund and closed-end fund product lines and/or particular Nuveen funds. The Board noted the Adviser’s continued efforts to rationalize the open-end fund and closed-end fund product lines through, among other things, mergers, liquidations and repositionings in seeking to provide enhanced shareholder value over the years through increased efficiency, reduced costs, improved performance and revised investment approaches that are more relevant to current shareholder needs. With respect to open-end Nuveen funds, such initiatives also included, but were not limited to, (a) implementing the multi-class solutions platform through the launch of several multi-asset income funds; (b) creating new share classes on several funds to potentially attract new clients and respond to regulatory developments; (c) reviewing the pricing of the open-end product line which resulted in the reduction of the management fee and/or temporary expense cap for various funds; (d) lowering the sales load breakpoints on certain municipal open-end funds to make them more competitive in the marketplace; (e) modifying the investment policies of various funds; and (f) creating a new product line of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”).
With respect to municipal funds, the Independent Board Members also appreciated, in particular, the astute portfolio management of the municipal funds with respect to the Puerto Rico debt crisis.
In its review, the Board recognized that initiatives that attracted assets to the Nuveen family of funds generally benefited the Nuveen funds in the complex as fixed costs would be spread over a larger asset base and, as described below, through the complex-wide fee arrangement which generally provides that the management fees of the Nuveen funds (subject to limited exceptions) are reduced as asset levels in the complex reach certain breakpoints in the fee schedule.
Similarly, the Board considered the sub-advisory services provided by the Sub-Adviser to the Funds. The Sub-Adviser generally provided portfolio advisory services for the Funds. The Board reviewed the Adviser’s analysis of the Sub-Adviser which evaluated, among other things, the investment team and any changes thereto, the stability and history of the organization, the assets under management, the investment approach and the performance of the Nuveen funds it sub-advises. The Board noted that the Adviser recommended the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
Based on its review, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the respective Funds under each applicable Advisory Agreement.
B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and Fund Advisers
As part of its evaluation of the services provided by the Fund Advisers, the Board reviewed Fund performance over the quarter, one-, three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2016 as well as performance data for the first quarter of 2017 ending March 31, 2017. The Board reviewed performance on an absolute basis and in comparison to the performance of peer funds (the “Performance Peer Group”) and recognized and/or customized benchmarks (i.e., generally benchmarks derived from multiple recognized benchmarks). The review and analysis of performance information during the annual review of Advisory Agreements incorporated the discussions and performance information the Board Members have had at each of their quarterly meetings throughout the year.
In evaluating performance data, the Independent Board Members recognized some of the limitations of such data and the difficulty in establishing appropriate peer groups and benchmarks for certain of the Nuveen funds. They recognized that each fund operates pursuant to its own investment objective(s), parameters and restrictions which may differ from that of the Performance Peer Group or benchmark. Certain funds may also utilize leverage which may provide benefits or risks to their portfolio compared to an unlevered benchmark. The Independent Board Members had noted that manage
132      NUVEEN


ment had classified the Performance Peer Groups as low, medium and high in relevancy to the applicable fund as a result of these differences or other factors. The Independent Board Members recognized that the variations between the Performance Peer Group or benchmark and the applicable Fund will lead to differing performance results and may limit the value of the comparative performance data in assessing the particular Fund’s performance.
In addition, the Independent Board Members recognized that the performance data is a snapshot in time, in this case as of the end of the 2016 calendar year or end of the first quarter of 2017. A different period may generate significantly different results and longer term performance can be adversely affected by even one period of significant underperformance. Further, a shareholder’s experience in a Fund depends on his or her own holding period which may differ from that reviewed by the Independent Board Members. The Independent Board Members also noted that although the open-end funds offer multiple classes and the performance data was based on Class A shares, the performance of the other classes of a fund should be substantially similar on a relative basis because all of the classes would be invested in the same portfolio of securities and differences in performance among classes could be principally attributed to the variations in distribution and servicing expenses of each class.
In their review of performance, the Independent Board Members focused, in particular, on the Adviser’s analysis of Nuveen funds determined to be underperforming performance outliers and the factors contributing to the respective fund’s performance and any efforts to address performance concerns. With respect to any Nuveen funds for which the Board has identified performance issues, the Board monitors such funds closely until performance improves, discusses with the Adviser the reasons for such results, considers any steps necessary or appropriate to address such issues, and reviews the results of any efforts undertaken. The Board, however, acknowledged that shareholders chose to invest or remain invested in a fund knowing that the Adviser and applicable sub-adviser manage the fund, knowing the fund’s investment strategy and seeking exposure to that strategy (even if the strategy was “out of favor” in the marketplace) and knowing the fund’s fee structure.
In reviewing the performance of the Nuveen municipal funds, the Board recognized the challenged and volatile conditions of the municipal market in the fourth quarter of 2016 which impacted the performance of many of the municipal funds. The Board further considered that the municipal market had generally rebounded in the first quarter of 2017. In reviewing the performance of the municipal funds, the Board considered the impact of the market conditions.
For Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund (the “Kansas Fund”), the Board noted that although the Fund ranked in its Performance Peer Group in the fourth quartile in the one-year period, the Fund ranked in the first quartile in the three- and five-year periods. Although the Fund underperformed its benchmark in the one- and five-year periods, the Fund outperformed its benchmark in the three-year period. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.
For Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund (the “Kentucky Fund”), the Board noted that although the Fund underperformed its benchmark in the one-, three- and five-year periods, the Fund ranked in its Performance Peer Group in the third quartile in the one-year period and second quartile in the three- and five-year periods. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.
For Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund (the “Michigan Fund”), the Board noted that the Fund ranked in its Performance Peer Group in the third quartile in the one-year period and the first quartile in the three- and five-year periods. Although the Fund underperformed its benchmark in the one-year period, the Fund outperformed its benchmark in the three- and five-year periods. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.
For Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund (the “Missouri Fund”), the Board noted that the Fund performed well against its Performance Peer Group ranking in the first quartile for the one-, three- and five-year periods and outperforming its benchmark over such periods. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.
For Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund (the “Ohio Fund”), the Board noted that although the Fund ranked in its Performance Peer Group in the fourth quartile and underperformed its benchmark in the one-year period, the Fund ranked in the second quartile and outperformed its benchmark in the three- and five-year periods. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.
For Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund (the “Wisconsin Fund”), the Board noted that although the Fund ranked in the fourth quartile in the Performance Peer Group in the one-year period, the Fund ranked in the first quartile in the three-year period and second quartile in the five-year period. The Fund underperformed its benchmark in the one- and five-year periods, but outperformed its benchmark in the three-year period. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.
C. Fees, Expenses and Profitability
1. Fees and Expenses
The Board evaluated the management fees and other fees and expenses of each Fund. The Board reviewed and considered, among other things, the gross management fees and after taking into effect any expense limitation arrangement and/or fee waivers (to the extent applicable), the net management fees paid by the Funds. The Board further considered the net total expense ratios of each Fund (expressed as a percentage of average net assets) as the expense ratio is most reflective of the investors’ net experience in a Fund as it directly reflected the costs of investing in the respective Fund.
NUVEEN      133


Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
In addition, the Board reviewed the Broadridge Report comparing, in relevant part, each Fund’s gross and net advisory fees and net total expense ratios with those of a Peer Universe and/or Peer Group, as applicable. The Independent Board Members also reviewed the methodology regarding the construction of the applicable Peer Universe and Peer Group by Broadridge. In reviewing the comparative data, the Board was aware that various factors may limit some of the usefulness of the data, such as differences in size of the peers; the composition of the Peer Universe or Peer Group; changes each year of funds comprising the Peer Universe and Peer Group; and levels of expense reimbursements and fee waivers. Nevertheless, in reviewing a fund’s fees and expenses compared to the fees and expenses of its peers, the Board generally considered a fund’s expenses and fees to be higher if they were over 10 basis points higher, slightly higher if they were 6 to 10 basis points higher, in line if they were within approximately 5 basis points higher than the peer average and below if they were below the peer average of the Peer Group. The Board noted that the substantial majority of the Nuveen funds had a net expense ratio that was near or below their respective peer average.
The Independent Board Members noted that the Kansas Fund, the Michigan Fund and the Wisconsin Fund each had a net management fee slightly higher than its respective peer average but a net expense ratio in line with its respective peer average; the Missouri Fund had a net management fee slightly higher than its peer average but a net expense ratio equal to the average net expense ratio of its Peer Group; the Kentucky Fund had a net management fee slightly higher than its peer average but a net expense ratio below its peer average; and the Ohio Fund had a net management fee in line with its peer average and a net expense ratio below the average of its Peer Group.
In their evaluation of the management fee schedule, the Independent Board Members also reviewed the fund-level and complex-wide breakpoint schedules, as described in further detail below. In this regard, the Board was aware that as a result of a review of the pricing of the Nuveen open-end funds, the management fees and/or expense caps of various open-end funds had been reduced in 2016. The Independent Board Members also took into account any expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers provided by Nuveen. In addition, the Independent Board Members recognized that the fund-level breakpoint schedules of the Nuveen open-end funds recently were revised resulting in the addition of more breakpoints in the management fee schedules of the funds. The Board recognized that the revised schedules would provide for the potential of additional savings for shareholders if the respective fund’s assets under management grow.
Based on their review of the information provided, the Board determined that each Fund’s management fees (as applicable) to a Fund Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund.
2. Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients
The Board also reviewed information regarding the respective Fund Adviser’s fee rates for providing advisory services to other types of clients. For the Adviser and/or the Sub-Adviser, such other clients may include municipal separately managed accounts and passively managed ETFs sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser but that are offered by another fund complex.
The Board recognized that each Fund had an affiliated sub-adviser. In reviewing the fee rates assessed to other clients, with respect to affiliated sub-advisers, the Board reviewed, among other things, the range of fees and average fee rates assessed for managed accounts.
The Board recognized the inherent differences between the Nuveen funds and the other types of clients. The Board considered information regarding these various differences which included, among other things, the services required, product distribution, average account sizes, types of investors targeted, legal structure and operations, and applicable laws and regulations. The Independent Board Members recognized that the foregoing variations resulted in different economics among the product structures and culminated in varying management fees among the types of clients and the Nuveen funds. In general, the Board noted that higher fee levels reflected higher levels of service provided by the Fund Adviser, increased investment management complexity, greater product management requirements and higher levels of business risk or some combination of the foregoing. The Board recognized the breadth of services the Adviser provided to support the Nuveen funds as summarized above and noted that many of such administrative services may not be required to the same extent or at all for the institutional clients or other clients. The Board further recognized the passive management of ETFs compared to the active management required of other Nuveen funds would contribute to differing fee levels.
The Independent Board Members noted that the sub-advisory fees paid by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser, however, were generally for portfolio management services. With respect to affiliated sub-advisers, the Board noted such sub-advisory fees were more comparable to the fees of retail wrap accounts and other external sub-advisory mandates.
Given the inherent differences in the various products, particularly the extensive services provided to the Funds, the Board concluded that such facts justify the different levels of fees.
3. Profitability of Fund Advisers
In conjunction with their review of fees, the Independent Board Members also considered Nuveen’s level of profitability for its advisory services to the Nuveen funds for the calendar years 2016 and 2015. In considering profitability, the Independent Board Members considered the level of profitability realized by Nuveen before the imposition of any distribution and marketing expenses incurred by the firm from its own resources. In evaluating the profitability, the Independent Board Members evaluated the analysis employed in developing the profitability figures, including the assumptions and methodology employed in allocating expenses. The Independent Board Members recognized the inherent limitations to any cost
134      NUVEEN


allocation methodology as different and reasonable approaches may be used and yet yield differing results. The Independent Board Members further reviewed an analysis of the history of the profitability methodology used explaining any changes to the methodology over the years. The Board has appointed two Independent Board Members, who along with independent legal counsel, helped to review and discuss the methodology employed to develop the profitability analysis each year and any proposed changes thereto and to keep the Board apprised of such changes during the year.
In their review, the Independent Board Members evaluated, among other things, Nuveen’s adjusted operating margins, the gross and net revenue margins (pre-tax and after-tax) for advisory activities for the Nuveen funds, and the revenues, expenses, and net income (pre-tax and after-tax) of Nuveen for each of the last two calendar years. The Independent Board Members also reviewed an analysis of the key drivers behind the changes in revenues and expenses that impacted profitability in 2016 versus 2015. The Board, however, observed that Nuveen’s operating margins for its advisory activities in 2016 were similar to that of 2015.
In addition to reviewing Nuveen’s profitability in absolute terms, the Independent Board Members also reviewed the adjusted total company margins of other advisory firms that had publicly available information and comparable assets under management (based on asset size and asset composition). The Independent Board Members, however, noted that the usefulness of the comparative data may be limited as the other firms may have a different business mix and their profitability data may be affected by numerous other factors such as the types of funds managed, the cost allocation methodology used, and their capital structure. Nevertheless, the Board noted that Nuveen’s adjusted operating margins appeared comparable to the adjusted margins of the peers.
Further, the Adviser is a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC, the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”). To have a fuller picture of the financial condition and strength of the TIAA complex, together with Nuveen, the Board reviewed a balance sheet for TIAA reflecting its assets, liabilities and capital and contingency reserves for the 2016 and 2015 calendar years.
In addition to the Adviser’s profitability, the Independent Board Members also considered the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the Nuveen funds. The Independent Board Members reviewed the Sub-Adviser’s revenues, expenses and revenue margins (pre- and post-tax) for its advisory activities for the calendar year ended December 31, 2016. The Independent Board Members also reviewed a profitability analysis reflecting the revenues, expenses and revenue margin (pre- and post-tax) by asset type for the Sub-Adviser for the calendar year ending December 31, 2016.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent Board Members also considered other amounts paid to a Fund Adviser for its services to the Funds as well as indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements), if any, the Fund Adviser and its affiliates received or were expected to receive that were directly attributable to the management of a Fund. See Section E below for additional information on indirect benefits a Fund Adviser may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds.
Based on a consideration of all the information provided, the Board noted that Nuveen’s and the Sub-Adviser’s level of profitability was acceptable and not unreasonable in light of the services provided.
D. Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale
When evaluating the level of the advisory fees, the Independent Board Members considered whether there will be any economies of scale that may be realized by the Fund Adviser as a Fund grows and the extent to which these economies were shared with the Funds and shareholders. The Board recognized that economies of scale are difficult to measure with precision; however, the Board considered that there were several ways the Fund Adviser may share the benefits of economies of scale with the Nuveen funds, including through breakpoints in the management fee schedule reducing the fee rates as asset levels grow, fee waivers and/or expense limitation agreements and the Adviser’s investment in its business which can enhance the services provided to the Nuveen funds. With respect to the fee structure, the Independent Board Members have recognized that economies of scale may be realized when a particular fund grows, but also when the total size of the fund complex grows (even if the assets of a particular fund in the complex have not changed or have decreased). Accordingly, subject to certain exceptions, the funds in the Nuveen complex pay a management fee to the Adviser which is generally comprised of a fund-level component and complex-level component, each of which has a breakpoint schedule. Subject to certain exceptions, the fund-level fee component declines as the assets of the particular fund grow and the complex-level fee component declines when eligible assets of all the funds (except for Nuveen ETFs which are subject to a unitary fee) in the Nuveen complex combined grow. As noted, the Board had recently approved revised fund-level breakpoint schedules for the Nuveen open-end funds which resulted in additional breakpoints added to the breakpoint schedules and therefore the potential for additional savings as a fund’s asset level grows.
The Independent Board Members also noted that additional economies of scale were shared with shareholders of the Ohio Fund through its permanent expense cap. The Independent Board Members reviewed the breakpoint and complex-wide schedules and any savings achieved from fee waivers and expense reimbursements (if applicable), as well as fee reductions as a result of the fund-level and complex-level breakpoints for the 2016 calendar year. In addition, the Independent Board Members recognized the Adviser’s ongoing investment in its business to expand or enhance the services provided to the benefit of all of the Nuveen funds.

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
Based on their review, the Board concluded that the current fee structure was acceptable and reflected economies of scale to be shared with shareholders when assets under management increase.
E. Indirect Benefits
The Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding other benefits the respective Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationship with the Nuveen funds, including compensation paid to affiliates of a Fund Adviser for services rendered to the funds and research services received by a Fund Adviser from broker-dealers that execute fund trades. In this regard, the Independent Board Members recognized that an affiliate of the Adviser served as the principal underwriter for the open-end funds providing distribution and shareholder services to the funds for which it may be compensated through sales charges and distribution fees and shareholder services fees pursuant to the funds’ Rule 12b-1 distribution and service plan or otherwise. The Independent Board Members therefore took into account, among other things, the 12b-1 fees retained by Nuveen during the calendar year ending December 31, 2016.
In addition to the above, the Independent Board Members considered that the Funds’ portfolio transactions are allocated by the Sub-Adviser and the Sub-Adviser may benefit from research received from broker-dealers that execute Fund portfolio transactions. The Board noted, however, that with respect to transactions in fixed income securities, such securities generally trade on a principal basis and do not generate soft dollar credits. Although the Board recognized the Sub-Adviser may benefit from a soft dollar arrangement if it does not have to pay for this research out of its own assets, the Board also recognized that the research may benefit the Funds to the extent it enhances the ability of the Sub-Adviser to manage the Funds.
Based on their review, the Board concluded that any indirect benefits received by a Fund Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Funds were reasonable and within acceptable parameters.
F. Other Considerations
The Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including the Independent Board Members, concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable, that the respective Fund Adviser’s fees were reasonable in light of the services provided to each Fund and that the Advisory Agreements be renewed.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. There were no amendments to or waivers from the code during the period covered by this report. The registrant has posted the code of ethics on its website at www.nuveen.com/MutualFunds/ShareholderResources/FundGovernance.aspx. (To view the code, click on Code of Conduct.)

ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

The registrant’s Board of Directors or Trustees (“Board”) determined that the registrant has at least one “audit committee financial expert” (as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR) serving on its Audit Committee. The registrant’s audit committee financial experts are Carole E. Stone and Jack B. Evans, who are “independent” for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

Ms. Stone served for five years as Director of the New York State Division of the Budget. As part of her role as Director, Ms. Stone was actively involved in overseeing the development of the State’s operating, local assistance and capital budgets, its financial plan and related documents; overseeing the development of the State’s bond-related disclosure documents and certifying that they fairly presented the State’s financial position; reviewing audits of various State and local agencies and programs; and coordinating the State’s system of internal audit and control. Prior to serving as Director, Ms. Stone worked as a budget analyst/examiner with increasing levels of responsibility over a 30 year period, including approximately five years as Deputy Budget Director. Ms. Stone has also served as Chair of the New York State Racing Association Oversight Board, as Chair of the Public Authorities Control Board, as a Commissioner on the New York State Commission on Public Authority Reform and as a member of the Boards of Directors of several New York State public authorities. These positions have involved overseeing operations and finances of certain entities and assessing the adequacy of project/entity financing and financial reporting. Currently, Ms. Stone is on the Board of Directors of CBOE Holdings, Inc., of the Chicago Board Options Exchange, and of C2 Options Exchange. Ms. Stone’s position on the boards of these entities and as a member of both CBOE Holdings’ Audit Committee and its Finance Committee has involved, among other things, the oversight of audits, audit plans and preparation of financial statements.

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

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

The following tables show the amount of fees that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Funds’ auditor, billed to the Funds’ during the Funds’ last two full fiscal years. The Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP provided to the Funds, except for those non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the “pre-approval exception”). The preapproval exception for services provided directly to the Funds waives the pre-approval requirement for services other than audit, review or attest services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Funds during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Funds did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee’s attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the audit is completed.

The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its Chairman (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).
