Chairman’s

Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

Robert P. Bremner

Chairman of the Board

Portfolio Manager’s Comments

Certain statements in this report are forward-looking statements. Discussions of specific investments are for illustration only and are not intended as recommendations of individual investments. The forward-looking statements and other views expressed herein are those of the portfolio manager as of the date of this report. Actual future results or occurrences may differ significantly from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements and the views expressed herein are subject to change at any time, due to numerous market and other factors. The Portfolio disclaims any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or views expressed herein.

Ratings shown are the highest rating given by one of the following national rating agencies: Standard & Poor’s Group, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Fitch, Inc. Credit ratings are subject to change. AAA, AA, A and BBB are investment grade ratings; BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D are below investment grade ratings. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by these national rating agencies.

This Portfolio was developed exclusively for use within Nuveen-sponsored separately managed accounts. It enables certain Nuveen municipal separately managed account investors to achieve greater diversification and return potential than otherwise might be achievable.

This Portfolio is managed by Martin J. Doyle, CFA, who has managed the Portfolio since its inception in 2007. Here Martin discusses the investment strategies and the performance of the Portfolio for the six-month period ended January 31, 2013.

How did the Portfolio perform during the six-month period ended January 31, 2013?

The tables in the Performance and Expense Ratios section of this report provide Class I Share total returns for the Portfolio for the six-month, one-year, five year and since inception periods ended January 31, 2013. The Portfolio’s Class I Share total returns at net asset value (NAV) outperformed the Barclays 7-Year Municipal Bond Index during the six-month reporting period.

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

The Portfolio uses a value oriented strategy and looks for higher yielding and undervalued municipal bonds that offer the potential for above average total return. The Portfolio invests in various types of municipal securities, including investment grade (rated BBB/Baa or better), below investment grade (rated BB/Ba or lower) and unrated municipal securities. The Portfolio focuses on securities with intermediate to longer-term maturities. This investment strategy did not change during the reporting period.

The Portfolio’s diversified yield curve positioning was one factor that contributed to the relative outperformance versus the benchmark during the period. We also increased the Portfolio’s exposure to mid-investment grade (A and BBB rated) bonds that offered solid total return and income potential, especially in a lower yield environment. Additionally, we continued to selectively add to the Portfolio’s high yield exposure which added to the Portfolio’s relative performance. Throughout the period, we gradually increased our exposure to longer duration securities and sought improved call protection to increase the Portfolio’s income sustainability, while trying to minimize potential duration volatility and enhance long-term return prospects. Replacing older, lower yielding investments that were called or matured, and selling other holdings at opportune times allowed us to utilize the comparatively steep yield curve and take advantage of attractive situations in the market to boost relative performance. Due to a growing demand in the market for

higher yields. We were not able to increase exposure to the mid-grade and lower-grade rating categories as much as we expected to, which would have increased the portfolio’s income component slightly higher.

Risk Considerations

Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Debt or fixed income securities such as those held by the Portfolio, are subject to market risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, call risk, tax risk, political and economic 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 Portfolio’s potential use of inverse floaters creates effective leverage. Leverage involves the risk that the Portfolio could lose more than its original investment and also increases the Portfolio’s exposure to volatility and interest rate risk.

Dividend Information

During the six-month reporting period, the Portfolio maintained a stable monthly dividend.

The Portfolio seeks to pay dividends at a rate that reflects the past and projected performance of the Portfolio. To permit a Portfolio to maintain a more stable monthly dividend, the Portfolio may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Portfolio during the period. If the Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s net asset value. Conversely, if the Portfolio has cumulatively paid in dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute negative UNII that will likewise be reflected in the Portfolio’s net asset value. The Portfolio will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of January 31, 2013, the Portfolio had positive UNII balance, based upon our best estimate, for tax purposes and a negative UNII balance for financial reporting purposes.

Performance and Expense Ratios

This is a specialized municipal bond Portfolio developed exclusively for use within Nuveen-sponsored separately managed accounts.

Returns quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. Income is generally exempt from regular federal income taxes. Some income may be subject to state and local income taxes and to the federal alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to tax.

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

Portfolio shares have no sales charge. Portfolio returns assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.

The expense ratios shown reflect the Portfolio’s total operating expenses (before fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements) as shown in the Portfolio’s most recent prospectus.

Yieldsas of January 31, 2013

8 Nuveen Investments

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 the Portfolio’s yield that accounts for the future amortization of premiums or discounts of bonds held in the portfolio of investments. The SEC 30-Day Yield is computed under an SEC standardized formula and is based on the maximum offer price per share. Dividend Yield may differ from the SEC 30-Day Yield because the Portfolio 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 Portfolio on an after-tax basis at a specified tax rate. With respect to investments that generate qualified dividend income that is taxable at a maximum rate of 15%, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower.

	Dividend Yield		SEC 30-Day Yield		Taxable- Equivalent Yield1
Class I Shares		4.18%		3.05%		4.24%

1 The Taxable-Equivalent Yield is based on the Portfolio’s SEC 30-Day Yield on the indicated date and a federal income tax rate of 28%.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, 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 Portfolio expenses. The Example below is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

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

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

The information under “Hypothetical Performance,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’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 Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

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

	Actual Performance		Hypothetical Performance (5% annualized return before expenses)
Beginning Account Value (8/01/12)	$	1,000.00	$	1,000.00
Ending Account Value (1/31/13)	$	1,030.40	$	1,025.21
Expenses Incurred During Period	$	—	$	—

Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized net expense ratio of 0.00% for the six-month period.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies

General Information

The Nuveen Managed Accounts Portfolios Trust (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 Municipal Total Return Managed Accounts Portfolio (the “Fund”), as a diversified fund, among others. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on November 14, 2006.

The Fund is developed exclusively for use within Nuveen-sponsored separately managed accounts. The Fund is a specialized municipal bond Fund to be used in combination with selected individual securities to effectively model institutional-level investment strategies. The Fund enables certain Nuveen municipal separately managed account investors to achieve greater diversification and return potential than smaller managed accounts might otherwise achieve by using lower quality, higher yielding securities and to gain access to special investment opportunities normally available only to institutional investors.

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

The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek attractive total return. The Fund also seeks to provide high current income exempt from regular federal income taxes. The Fund’s sub-adviser, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, uses a value-oriented strategy and looks for higher-yielding and undervalued municipal bonds that offer the potential for above-average total return. The Fund invests in various types of municipal securities, including investment grade (rated BBB/Baa or better), below investment grade (rated BB/Ba or lower) and unrated municipal securities. The Fund may invest without limit in securities that generate income subject to the alternative minimum tax. The Fund will focus on securities with intermediate to longer term maturities and, as such, will generally maintain, under normal market conditions, an investment portfolio with an overall weighted average maturity of approximately 12 to 25 years. The Fund may invest up to 50% of its net assets in high yield municipal bonds, but will normally invest 10-30% of its net assets in such bonds. Such securities are commonly referred to as “high yield” securities or junk bonds. The Fund may invest up to 5% of its net assets in defaulted bonds and up to 50% of its net assets in municipal securities whose interest payments vary inversely with changes in short-term tax-exempt interest rates (“inverse floaters”). The Fund may also make forward commitments in which the Fund agrees to buy a security for settlement in the future at a price agreed upon today.

The Fund’s most recent prospectus provides further description of the Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks.

Significant Accounting Policies

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

Investment Valuation

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

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

34 Nuveen Investments

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

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 Fund has instructed the custodian to earmark securities in the Fund’s portfolio with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. As of January 31, 2013, the Fund had outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments of $4,071,436.

Investment Income

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

Professional Fees

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

Income Taxes

The 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, the Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal income tax, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Fund. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Fund are subject to federal taxation.

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

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

The Fund declares dividends from its net investment income daily and pays 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 Fund’s 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.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments, including, forwards, futures, options and swap contracts. Although the Fund is authorized to invest in such derivative instruments, and may do so in the future, it did not make any such investments during the six months ended January 31, 2013.

Inverse Floating Rate Securities

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

The Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an “externally-deposited inverse floater”), or instead by first selling a fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into

Nuveen Investments 35

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)(continued)

the special purpose trust and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a “self-deposited inverse floater”). The inverse floater held by the Fund gives the Fund the right (a) to cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to tender their notes at par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate bond held by the trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust. An investment in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(IF) – Inverse floating rate investment.” An investment in a self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction. In such instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(UB) – Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction,” with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate certificates issued by the trust as “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” the entire earnings of the underlying bond and recognizes the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as “Interest expense on floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Operations.

During the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Fund invested in externally-deposited inverse floaters and self-deposited inverse floaters.

The Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a “recourse trust” or “credit recovery swap”) (such agreements referred to herein as “Recourse Trusts”) with a broker-dealer by which the Fund agrees to reimburse the broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the trust and the liquidation value of the floating rate certificates issued by the trust plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, the Fund’s potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse floaters may increase beyond the value of the Fund’s inverse floater investments as the Fund may potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the floating rate certificates. At period end, any such shortfall is recognized as “Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of January 31, 2013, the Fund’s maximum exposure to the floating rate obligations issued by externally-deposited Recourse Trusts was $16,350,000.

The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest rate and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters for the Fund during the six months ended January 31, 2013, were as follows:

Average floating rate obligations outstanding	$	1,621,277
Average annual interest rate and fees		0.70	%

Zero Coupon Securities

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

Indemnifications

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

Use of Estimates

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

2. Fair Value Measurements

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

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

36 Nuveen Investments

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

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Long-Term Investments*:
Municipal Bonds	$	—	$	300,669,215	$	—	$	300,669,215
Short-Term Investments:
Municipal Bonds		—		1,522,455		—		1,522,455
Total	$	—	$	302,191,670	$	—	$	302,191,670

* Refer to the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments for state classifications.

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

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

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

3. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Fund records derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes. The Fund did not invest in derivative instruments during the six months ended January 31, 2013.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)(continued)

certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate securities reflected as financing transactions, if any. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset value of the Fund.

Cost of investments	$	279,622,823
Gross unrealized:
Appreciation	$	20,341,164
Depreciation		(332,323	)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments	$	20,008,841

Permanent differences, primarily due to taxable market discount, resulted in reclassifications among the Fund’s components of net assets as of July 31, 2012, the Fund’s last tax year end, as follows:

Capital paid-in	$	—
Undistributed (Over-distribution of) net investment income		32,500
Accumulated net realized gain (loss)		(32,500	)

Undistributed net tax-exempt income*	$	702,491
Undistributed net ordinary income**		466,187
Undistributed net long-term capital gains		3,036,380

* Undistributed net tax-exempt income (on a tax basis) has not been reduced for the dividend declared during the period July 1, 2012 through July 31, 2012, and paid on August 1, 2012.

** Net ordinary income consists of taxable market discount income and net short-term capital gains if any.

The tax character of distributions paid during the Fund’s last tax year ended July 31, 2012, was designated for purposes of the dividends paid deduction as follows:

Distributions from net tax-exempt income	$	10,142,510
Distributions from net ordinary income**		103,587
Distributions from net long-term capital gains		517,936

** Net ordinary income consists of taxable market discount income and net short-term capital gains, if any.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred by the Fund after December 31, 2010, will not be subject to expiration. During the Fund’s last tax year ended July 31, 2012, there were no post-enactment capital losses generated.

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Adviser does not charge any management fees or other expenses directly to the Fund. The Adviser has agreed irrevocably during the existence of the Fund to waive all fees and pay or reimburse all expenses of the Fund (excluding interest expense, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses). The Adviser is compensated for its services to the Fund from the fee charged at the separately managed account level.

8. New Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

In January 2013, Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, replaced ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013. ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2013-01 and its impact to the financial statements and footnote disclosures, if any.

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report

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

Barclays 7-Year Municipal Bond Index: An unmanaged index composed of a broad range of investment-grade municipal bonds with maturity dates of approximately seven years. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.

Duration: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bond’s principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond’s or bond Fund’s value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond’s or Fund’s duration, the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as interest rates change.

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.

Effective Leverage: Effective leverage is a Fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage (see below) and the leverage effects of certain derivative investments in the Fund’s portfolio. Currently, the leverage effects of Tender Option Bond (TOB) inverse floater holdings are included in effective leverage values, in addition to any regulatory leverage.

Leverage: Using borrowed money to invest in securities or other assets, seeking to increase the return of an investment or portfolio.

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

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

Chairman’s

Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

Robert P. Bremner

Chairman of the Board

Portfolio Manager’s Comments

Certain statements in this report are forward-looking statements. Discussions of specific investments are for illustration only and are not intended as recommendations of individual investments. The forward-looking statements and other views expressed herein are those of the portfolio manager as of the date of this report. Actual future results or occurrences may differ significantly from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements and the views expressed herein are subject to change at any time, due to numerous market and other factors. The Portfolio disclaims any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or views expressed herein.

Ratings shown are the highest rating given by one of the following national rating agencies: Standard & Poor’s Group, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Fitch, Inc. Credit ratings are subject to change. AAA, AA, A and BBB are investment grade ratings; BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D are below investment grade ratings. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by these national rating agencies.

This Portfolio was developed exclusively for use within Nuveen-sponsored separately managed accounts. This Portfolio enables certain Nuveen separately managed account investors to achieve greater diversification and return potential than otherwise might be achievable.

This Portfolio is managed by Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, an affiliate of Nuveen Investments. Timothy Palmer, CFA serves as manager for the Portfolio. Here Tim discusses the investment strategies and the performance of the Portfolio for the six-month period ended January 31, 2013.

How did the Portfolio perform during the six-month period ended January 31, 2013?

The tables in the Performance and Expense Ratios section of this report provide Class I Share total returns for the Portfolio for the six-month, one-year, five-year and since inception periods ended January 31, 2013. The Portfolio’s Class I Share total returns at net asset value (NAV) outperformed the Barclays Credit/Mortgage Index during the six-month period ended January 31, 2013.

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

Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its assets in fixed income securities. The Portfolio will invest in various types of debt securities, including U.S. Treasury and U.S. agency bonds, U.S. investment grade corporate debt securities, U.S. high yield corporate debt securities, U.S. dollar-denominated non-U.S. government bonds, non-U.S. dollar non-U.S. government bonds, emerging market debt and other short-term securities or instruments. In addition, the Portfolio may invest a substantial portion of its assets in mortgage-backed securities, including U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. The Portfolio may also engage in repurchase, reverse repurchase, dollar rolls and forward purchase agreements (these investments will be generally short-term in nature and are primarily used to seek to enhance total return and manage liquidity.

In managing the Portfolio, we seek to maximize risk-adjusted total return through active management of sector rotation, issue selection, and yield curve positioning. We employ a sector team based process to identify and implement investment opportunities based on rigorous analysis of fixed income markets. The Portfolio invests broadly across sectors, including traditional investment-grade bonds, high yield securities, foreign currencies and bonds.

U.S. and global economic data was better than expected during the reporting period despite uncertainty in the U.S., Europe and China. Economic concerns stabilized in these areas, and the global economy was poised for moderate growth by the end of 2012. Investor flows continued to indicate robust demand for fixed income securities as the pressure to find yield provided a strong technical underpinning to the market. This environment was supportive of risk assets broadly and the spread sectors of the fixed income market specifically.

The Portfolio benefited from our strategic positioning during the period, which included significant overweights to both investment grade and high yield corporate bonds. These positions were the primary driver of outperformance during the period, with the Portfolio benefiting from the additional yield available in these sectors as well as the gains associated with narrowing risk premiums for credit. Investment grade corporate and high yield bonds both produced an excess return over Treasuries. The corporate bond market continued to be supported by yields, strong fundamentals, an improving economy and the Fed’s accommodative monetary policy. The high yield market was also bolstered by continued low default rates. The Portfolio’s overweight in banks and financial credits within its investment grade portfolio also added significantly to results. We have been proponents of financial credits based on their strong investment fundamentals. The market increasingly moved toward this view with financial spreads tightening versus industrials during the period, continuing their strong relative performance.

The Portfolio was also rewarded for positions in emerging market (EM) credit, which was one of the best performing sectors during the reporting period. This performance was achieved despite a record level of issuance in EM corporate bonds. Improving economic growth, rising investor confidence in EM, and the ongoing search for yield drove fund flows into the sector.

Additionally, foreign currency exposure aided performance as we emphasized growth sensitive, higher yielding currencies over the U.S. dollar. The U.S. dollar declined against most currencies globally during the reporting period. The yen also declined as the Japanese election led to aggressive fiscal and monetary policies aimed at reflation. However, the euro saw a recovery from depressed levels as investors reassessed its survival and the U.S. quantitative easing program pressured the dollar.

The Portfolio remained significantly underweight to mortgage-backed securities (MBS). While MBS slightly outperformed Treasuries, they turned in relatively lackluster results overall as investors rotated into other products after the Fed’s buying program pushed valuations to expensive levels.

The Portfolio’s duration was generally longer than that of the benchmark index since this portfolio is employed only as part of separately managed accounts. This higher level of interest rate sensitivity detracted from the Portfolio’s performance versus the benchmark index, as interest rates rose during the reporting period.

While our main strategic emphasis on non-government sectors remained in place, we took advantage of market conditions during the period to add research driven investments in the high yield sector. We also realized some gains in investment grade credit in light of stronger market valuations and repositioned holdings around individual

credit themes. Overall credit exposure increased during the period. We continued to manage the Fund’s non-U.S. market and currency exposure to reflect valuation opportunities and shifting global fundamental conditions.

During the reporting period, derivatives were used in this portfolio primarily to manage the level of credit risk exposure and to manage interest rate risk. The use of credit default swaps and of interest rate swaps were positive to performance.

Risk Considerations

Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Debt or fixed income securities such as those held by the Portfolio, are subject to market risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, call risk, and income risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Below investment grade or high yield debt securities are subject to liquidity risk and heightened credit risk. Foreign investments involve additional risks, including currency fluctuation, political and economic instability, lack of liquidity and differing legal and accounting standards. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Asset-backed and mortgage backed securities are subject to additional risks such as prepayment risk, liquidity risk, default risk and adverse economic developments. The use of derivative instruments involves a high degree of financial risk, including the risk that the loss on a derivative may be greater than the principal amount invested.

Dividend Information

During the six-month reporting period, the Portfolio maintained a stable monthly dividend.

The Portfolio seeks to pay dividends at a rate that reflects the past and projected performance of the Portfolio. To permit a Portfolio to maintain a more stable monthly dividend, the Portfolio may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Portfolio during the period. If the Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s net asset value. Conversely, if the Portfolio has cumulatively paid in dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute negative UNII that will likewise be reflected in the Portfolio’s net asset value. The Portfolio will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of January 31, 2013, the Portfolio had a positive UNII balance, based upon our best estimate, for tax purposes and a negative UNII balance for financial reporting purposes.

Yieldsas of January 31, 2013

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

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, 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 Portfolio expenses. The Example below is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

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

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

The information under “Hypothetical Performance,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’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 Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

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

			Hypothetical Performance
	Actual Performance		(5% annualized return before expenses)
Beginning Account Value (8/01/12)	$	1,000.00	$	1,000.00
Ending Account Value (1/31/13)	$	1,047.50	$	1,025.21
Expenses Incurred During Period	$	—	$	—

Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized net expense ratio of 0.00% for the six month period.

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

(3) Perpetual security. Maturity date is not applicable.

(4) 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.

(5) Principal Amount (000) denominated in U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise noted.

(6) Other Assets Less Liabilities includes the Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of certain derivative instruments as listed within Investments in Derivatives as of the end of the reporting period.

(7) The Fund entered into the credit default swaps to gain investment exposure to the referenced entity. Selling protection has a similar credit risk position to owning the referenced entity. Buying protection has a similar credit risk position to selling the referenced entity short.

(8) The credit spread generally serves as an indication of the current status of the payment/performance risk and therefore the likelihood of default of the credit derivative. The credit spread also reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into a credit default swap contract. Higher credit spreads are indicative of higher likelihood of performance by the seller of protection.

TBA To be announced. Maturity date not known prior to settlement of this transaction.

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies

General Information

The Nuveen Managed Accounts Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”) is a diversified, open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trust is comprised of Enhanced Multi-Strategy Income Managed Accounts Portfolio (the “Fund”), among others. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on November 14, 2006.

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

The Fund is developed exclusively for use within Nuveen-sponsored separately managed accounts. The Fund is a specialized Fund to be used in combination with selected individual securities to effectively model institutional-level investment strategies. The Fund enables certain Nuveen separately managed account investors to achieve greater diversification and return potential than smaller managed accounts might otherwise achieve by using lower quality, higher yielding securities and to gain access to special investment opportunities normally available only to institutional investors.

The Fund’s primary investment objective is total return, with current income as a secondary objective. Under normal conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in fixed income securities. The Fund will invest in various types of debt securities, including U.S. Treasury and U.S. agency bonds, U.S. investment grade corporate debt securities, U.S. high yield corporate debt securities, U.S. dollar-denominated non-U.S. government bonds, non-U.S. dollar non-U.S. government bonds, emerging market debt, and other short-term securities. In addition, the Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in mortgage-backed securities, including U.S. agency mortgage backed securities and commercial mortgage backed securities, and asset-backed securities. The Fund may also engage in repurchase, reverse repurchase, dollar rolls and forward purchase agreements (these investments will generally be short-term in nature and are primarily used to seek to enhance total return and manage liquidity).

The Fund may utilize the following derivatives: options; futures contracts; options on futures contracts; interest rate caps, collars, and floors; foreign currency contracts; options on foreign currencies; swap agreements, including interest rate swaps, currency swaps, total return swaps, and credit default swaps; and options on swap agreements. The Fund may use these derivatives in an attempt to manage market risk, currency risk, credit risk and yield curve risk, to manage the effective maturity or duration of securities in the Fund or for speculative purposes in an effort to increase the Fund’s yield or to enhance returns. The Fund may also use derivatives to gain exposure to non-dollar denominated securities markets to the extent it does not do so through direct investments. The use of a derivative is speculative if the Fund is primarily seeking to enhance returns, rather than offset the risk of other positions.

The Fund may invest up to 50% of its net assets in securities that are rated below investment grade or securities that are unrated but deemed by, Nuveen Asset Management LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, to be of equivalent quality. Such securities are commonly referred to as “high-yield” securities or “junk bonds”, which includes U.S. and non-U.S. high yield corporate bonds and securities. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in the debt of non-U.S. issuers, including up to 25% of its net assets in obligations of non-U.S. entities that are located in emerging markets. These limits apply only at the time of any specific new investments.

Under normal market conditions, the Sub-Adviser expects the Fund to maintain an intermediate term average duration, which will generally fall within four to seven years.

The Fund’s most recent prospectus provides further description of the Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks.

Significant Accounting Policies

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

Investment Valuation

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

24 Nuveen Investments

Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the net asset value (NAV) of the Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the New York Stock Exchange is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares. If significant market events occur between the time of determination of the closing price of a foreign security on an exchange and the time that the Fund’s NAV is determined, or if under the Fund’s procedures, the closing price of a foreign security is not deemed to be reliable, the security would be valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established in good faith by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs.

The value of exchange-traded options are based on the mean of the closing bid and ask prices. Futures contracts are valued using the closing settlement price or, in the absence of such a price, the last traded price. Exchange-traded options and futures contracts are generally classified as Level 1. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are valued using an evaluated mean price and are generally classified as Level 2.

Repurchase agreements are valued at contract amount plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. These securities are generally classified as Level 2.

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

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

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 Fund has instructed the custodian to earmark securities in the Fund’s portfolio with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. As of January 31, 2013, the Fund had outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments of $1,463,647.

Investment Income

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

Professional Fees

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

Income Taxes

The 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.

For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Fund 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

The Fund declares dividends from net investment income daily and pays 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 Fund’s transfer agent.

Net realized capital gains 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 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.

Dollar Roll Transactions

The Fund is authorized to enter into dollar roll transactions (“dollar rolls”) in which the Fund purchases or sells mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) for delivery in the future and simultaneously contracts to sell or repurchase a substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) MBS on a different specified future date. Dollar rolls are identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “MDR”, when applicable. During the roll period, the Fund foregoes principal and interest paid on the MBS. The Fund is compensated by fee income or the difference between the current sales price and the lower forward price for the future purchase. Such compensation is amortized over the life of the dollar rolls, which is recognized as a component of “Investment income” on the Statement of Operations. Dollar rolls are valued daily.

Dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the MBS the Fund is obligated to repurchase under an agreement may decline below the repurchase price. These transactions also involve some risk to the Fund if the other party should default on its obligation and the Fund is delayed or prevented from completing the transaction. In the event that the buyer of securities under a dollar roll files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of proceeds of the dollar roll may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The Fund is authorized to engage in foreign currency exchange transactions, including forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures, options and swap contracts. To the extent that the Fund invests in securities and/or contracts that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Fund will be subject to currency risk, which is the risk that an increase in the U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currency will reduce returns or portfolio value. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Fund’s investments denominated in that currency will lose value because its currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. dollar falls in relative value. Investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars on a spot (i.e. cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market at the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and income denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.

The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Investment transactions, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date of the transactions, foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Fund and the amounts actually received.

The realized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in foreign exchange rates associated with other assets and liabilities on investments, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures, options written, swaps, and swaptions written are recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from investments and foreign currency” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.

The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in foreign exchange rates associated with other assets and liabilities on investments are recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and foreign currency” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates associated with forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures, options written, swaps and swaptions written are recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (deprecation) of forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures, options written, swaps and swaptions written,” respectively, on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and is authorized to enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in an attempt to manage such risk under two circumstances: (i) when the Fund enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency to “lock in” the U.S. exchange rate of the transaction, with such period being a short-dated contract covering the period between transaction date and settlement date; or (ii) when the Sub-Adviser believes that the currency of a particular foreign country may experience a substantial movement against the U.S. dollar or against another foreign currency. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily at the forward rate and are recognized as a component of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The change in value of the contracts during the reporting period is recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of forward foreign currency exchange contracts” on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or offset with the same counterparty, the Fund recognizes the difference between the value

26 Nuveen Investments

of the contract at the time it was entered and the value at the time it was closed or offset as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from forward foreign currency exchange contracts” on the Statement of Operations.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts will generally not be entered into for terms greater than three months, but may have maturities of up to six months or more. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Fund’s investment securities; however, it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted. A forward foreign currency exchange contract would limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of a particular currency; however, it also would limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase instead of decrease. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Forward foreign currency contracts are subject to counterparty risk if the counterparty fails to perform as specified in the contract due to financial impairment or other reason.

During the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Fund was invested in forward foreign currency exchange contracts in a variety of currencies, with settlements ranging from one to three months. Some of these contracts are positioned to benefit if the foreign currencies in the contracts strengthen with respect to the U.S. dollar, while others are positioned to benefit if the foreign currencies weaken with respect to the U.S. dollar, based on analysis indicating whether currencies were relatively high or low compared to future expectations.

The average notional amount of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding during the six months ended January 31, 2013, was as follows:

Average notional amount of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding* $ 459,236

* The average notional amount is calculated based on the outstanding notional at the beginning of the fiscal year and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal year.

Refer to Footnote 3 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for further details on forward foreign currency exchange contract activity.

Futures Contracts

The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and is authorized to invest in futures contracts in attempt to manage such risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or liquid securities equal to a specified percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the “initial margin.” Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts, if any, is recognized as “Deposits with brokers for open futures contracts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation of the value of the contract. Variation margin is recognized as a receivable or payable for “Variation margin on futures contracts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.

During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss by “marking-to-market” on a daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract, which is recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts” on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or expired, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract on the closing date and value of the contract when originally entered into, which is recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from futures contracts” on the Statement of Operations.

Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement in the price of the securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that there may not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts and/or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with a change in the value of the underlying securities or indices.

During the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Fund was invested in U.S. Treasury bond futures contracts designed to benefit if interest rates at the ten year point of the yield curve rose more than rates at the thirty year point.

The average notional amount of futures contracts outstanding during the six months ended January 31, 2013, was as follows:

Average notional amount of futures contracts outstanding* $ (95,646 ) 

* The average notional amount is calculated based on the outstanding notional at the beginning of the fiscal year and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal year.

Refer to Footnote 3 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for further details on futures contract activity.

Options Transactions

The Fund is subject to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and is authorized to purchase and write (sell) call and put options on securities, futures contracts, swaps (“swaptions”) or currencies in an attempt to manage such risk. The purchase of options and/or swaptions involves the risk of loss of all or a part of the cash paid for the options (the premium). The market risk associated with purchasing options and/or swaptions is limited to the premium paid. The counterparty credit risk of purchasing options and/or swaptions, however, needs also to take into account the current value of the option, as this is the performance expected from the counterparty. When the Fund purchases an option and/or swaption, an amount

Nuveen Investments 27

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

equal to the premium paid (the premium plus commission) is recognized as a component of “Options and/or Swaptions purchased, at value” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the Fund writes an option and/or swaption, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recognized as a component of “Options and/or Swaptions written, at value” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current value of the written option and/or swaption until the option and/or swaption is exercised or expires or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction. The changes in the value of options and/or swaptions purchased during the reporting period are recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of options and/or swaptions purchased” on the Statement of Operations. The changes in the value of options and/or swaptions written during the reporting period are recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of options and/or swaptions written” on the Statement of Operations. When an option and/or swaption is exercised or expires or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the difference between the net premium received and any amount paid at expiration or on executing a closing purchase transaction, including commission, is recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from options and/or swaptions purchased and/or written” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund, as a writer of an option and/or swaption has no control over whether the underlying instrument may be sold (called) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the instrument underlying the written option and/or swaption. There is also the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. During the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Fund did not purchase or write any options and/or swaptions.

Swap Contracts

The Fund is authorized to enter into swap contracts consistent with its investment objectives and policies to reduce, increase or otherwise alter its risk profile or to alter its portfolio characteristics (i.e. duration, yield curve positioning and credit quality).

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Fund is authorized to enter into interest rate swap and forward-starting interest rate swap contracts (“interest rate swaps”) consistent with its investment objectives and policies to reduce, increase or otherwise alter its risk profile. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and intends to use interest rate swaps to mitigate the negative impact that an increase or decrease in interest rates could have on net earnings.

Interest rate swap contracts involve the Fund’s agreement with the counterparty to pay or receive a fixed rate payment in exchange for the counterparty receiving or paying a variable rate payment. The payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the interest rate swap contract. Forward-Starting interest rate swap transactions involve the Fund’s agreement with a counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or variable rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable or fixed rate payment, the accruals for which would begin at a specified date in the future (the “effective date”). Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to the net amount of interest payments that the Fund is to receive. Interest rate swaps are valued daily. Upon entering into an interest rate swap (and beginning on the effective date for a forward interest rate swap), the Fund accrues the fixed rate payment expected to be paid or received and the variable rate payment expected to be received or paid on a daily basis, and recognizes the daily change in the fair value of the Fund’s contractual rights and obligations under the contracts. The net amount recorded for these transactions for each counterparty is recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a component of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on interest rate swaps (,net)” with the change during the fiscal period recognized on the Statement of Operations as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of swaps.” Income received or paid by the Fund is recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from swaps” on the Statement of Operations, in addition to the net realized gains or losses recognized upon the termination of an interest rate swap contract, and are equal to the difference between the Fund’s basis in the interest rate swap and the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are recognized as a component of “Interest rate swap premiums paid and/or received” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable. For tax purposes, periodic payments are treated as ordinary income or expense.

The Fund may terminate a swap contract prior to the effective date, at which point a realized gain or loss is recognized. When an interest rate swap contract is terminated, it ordinarily does not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal, but rather is settled in cash on a net basis. Once periodic payments are settled in cash, they are combined with the net realized gain or loss recorded upon the termination of the interest rate swap contracts.

During the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Fund was invested in interest rate swap contracts in a variety of currencies, with maturities ranging from three to ten years, some positioned to benefit if rates rise, others positioned to benefit if rates fall in the underlying country, based on analysis indicating whether rates were relatively high or low compared to future expectations.

The average notional amount of interest rate swap contracts outstanding during the six months ended January 31, 2013, was as follows:

Average notional amount of interest rate swap contracts outstanding* $ 67,487

* The average notional amount is calculated based on the outstanding notional at the beginning of the fiscal year and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal year.

Credit Default Swaps

The Fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may enter into a credit default swap contract to seek to maintain a total return on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio, or to take an active long or short

28 Nuveen Investments

position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Credit default swap contracts involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if/when there is a credit event by a third party. Generally, a credit event means bankruptcy, failure to pay, or restructuring. The specific credit events applicable for each credit default swap are stated in the terms of the particular swap agreement. As a purchaser of a credit default swap contract, the Fund pays to the counterparty a periodic interest fee based on the notional amount of the credit default swap. This interest fee is accrued daily and recognized with the daily change in the market value of the contract as a component of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on credit default swaps (,net)” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is recorded as a realized loss upon payment. Upon occurrence of a specific credit event with respect to the underlying referenced entity, the Fund is obligated to deliver that security, or an equivalent amount of cash, to the counterparty in exchange for receipt of the notional amount from the counterparty. The difference between the value of the security delivered and the notional amount received is recorded as a realized gain. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are recognized as a component of “Credit default swap premiums paid and/or received” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable. As a seller of a credit default swap contract, the Fund generally receives from the counterparty a periodic interest fee based on the notional amount of the credit default swap. This interest fee is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation or depreciation and is recorded as a realized gain upon payment. Upon occurrence of a specific credit event with respect to the underlying referenced entity, the Fund will either receive that security, or an equivalent amount of cash, from the counterparty in exchange for payment of the notional amount to the counterparty, or pay a net settlement amount of the credit default swap contract less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. The difference between the value of the security received and the notional amount paid is recorded as a realized loss. Changes in the value of a credit default swap during the reporting period are recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of swaps”, and realized gains and losses are recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from swaps” on the Statement of Operations. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Fund could incur as a seller of protection in a credit default swap contract is limited to the notional amount of the contract. The maximum potential amount would be offset by the recovery value, if any, of the respective referenced entity.

During the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Fund was invested in credit default swap index positions that earn spread income in exchange for taking the credit default risk of broad investment grade and high yield credit default swap indices.

The average notional amount of credit default swap contracts outstanding during the six months ended January 31, 2013, was as follows:

Average notional amount of credit default swap contracts outstanding* $ 2,596,667

* The average notional amount is calculated based on the outstanding notional at the beginning of the fiscal year and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal year.

Refer to Footnote 3 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for further details on swap contract activity.

Market and Counterparty Credit Risk

In the normal course of business the 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 the Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts, when applicable, expose the Fund to minimal counterparty credit risk as they are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, which is counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.

The 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 the Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when the Fund has an unrealized loss, the Fund has instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Fund as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount.

Zero Coupon Securities

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

Repurchase Agreements

In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Fund’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the counterparty defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral may be delayed or limited.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

Indemnifications

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

Use of Estimates

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

2. Fair Value Measurements

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

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

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the Fund’s fair value measurements as of the end of the reporting period:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Long-Term Investments*:
Corporate Bonds	$	—	$	3,465,903	$	—	$	3,465,903

** Represents net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as reported in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

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

The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making fair value determinations. Examples of possible methodologies include, but are not limited to, multiple of earnings; discount from market of a similar freely traded security; discounted cash-flow analysis; book value or a multiple thereof; risk premium/yield analysis; yield to maturity; and/or fundamental investment analysis. The Valuation Committee will also consider factors it deems relevant and

30 Nuveen Investments

appropriate in light of the facts and circumstances. Examples of possible factors include, but are not limited to, the type of security; the issuer’s financial statements; the purchase price of the security; the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase; analysts’ research and observations from financial institutions; information regarding any transactions or offers with respect to the security; the existence of merger proposals or tender offers affecting the security; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable companies; and the existence of a shelf registration for restricted securities.

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

3. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Fund records derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes. For additional information on the derivative instruments in which the Fund was invested during and at the end of the reporting period, refer to the Portfolio of Investments, Financial Statements and Footnote 1 – General Information and Significant Accounting Policies.

The following table presents the fair value of all derivative instruments held by the Fund as of January 31, 2013, the location of these instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and the primary underlying risk exposure.

		Location on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities
Underlying Risk Exposure	Derivative Instrument	Asset Derivatives			Liability Derivatives
		Location	Value		Location	Value
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate	Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts	Unrealized appreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts	$	12,216	Unrealized depreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts	$	(771	)
Interest Rate	Futures Contracts	Deposits with brokers for open futures contracts and Payable for variation margin on futures contracts*		8,433	—		—
Credit	Swaps	Unrealized appreciation on credit default swaps**		42,711	—		—
Total			$	63,360		$	(771	)

* Value represents unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts as reported in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments, and not the deposits with brokers, if any, or the receivable or payable for variation margin presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

** Some swap contracts require a counterparty to pay or receive a premium, which is disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities but is not reflected in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) presented above.

The following tables present the amount of net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) recognized for the six months ended January 31, 2013, on derivative instruments, as well as the primary risk exposure associated with each.

6. Income Tax Information

The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to the treatment of foreign currency transaction gains and losses, amortization of premium and timing and character differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset value of the Fund.

As of January 31, 2013, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments (excluding investments in derivatives), as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

Cost of investments	$	6,490,076
Gross unrealized:
Appreciation		462,621
Depreciation		—
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments	$	462,621

Permanent differences, primarily due to federal taxes paid, treatment of notional principal contracts, complex security character adjustments and foreign currency reclassifications resulted in reclassifications among the Fund’s components of net assets as of July 31, 2012, the Fund’s last tax year end, as follows:

Capital paid-in	$	—
Undistributed (Over–distribution of) net investment income		33,042
Accumulated net realized gain (loss)		(33,042	)

The tax components of undistributed net ordinary income and net long-term capital gains as of July 31, 2012, the Fund’s last tax year end, were as follows:

Undistributed net ordinary income*	$	97,641
Undistributed net long-term capital gains		16,725

* Undistributed net ordinary income (on a tax basis) has not been reduced for the dividend declared during the period July 1, 2012 through July 31, 2012 and paid on August 1, 2012. Net ordinary income consists of net taxable income derived from dividends, interest, and net short-term capital gains, if any.

The tax character of distributions paid during the Fund’s last tax year ended July 31, 2012, was designated for purposes of the dividends paid deduction as follows:

Distributions from net ordinary income*	$	422,695
Distributions from net long-term capital gains		200,059

* Net ordinary income consists of net taxable income derived from dividends, interest, and net short-term capital gains, if any.

32 Nuveen Investments

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred by the Fund after December 31, 2010, will not be subject to expiration. During the Fund’s last tax year ended July 31, 2012, there were no post-enactment capital losses generated.

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Adviser does not charge any management fees or other expenses directly to the Fund. The Adviser has agreed irrevocably during the existence of the Fund to waive all fees and pay or reimburse all expenses of the Fund (excluding interest expense, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of investment portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses). The Adviser is compensated for their services to the Fund from the fee charged at the separately managed account level.

As of January 31, 2013, Nuveen owned all shares of the Fund.

8. New Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

In January 2013, Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, replaced ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013. ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2013-01 and its impact to the financial statements and footnote disclosures, if any.
