Chairman’s Letter
to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
Asset prices steadily climbed during 2017, propelled by a “Goldilocks” economic scenario that enabled markets to sidestep geopolitical tensions, natural disasters, terrorism events and political noise. The U.S. economy continued to run not too hot, not too cold, with steady growth and low levels of unemployment, inflation and interest rates. Corporate earnings have been healthy and recession risk appeared low. At the same time, growth across the rest of the world has improved as well, leading to upward revisions in global growth projections.
Yet, a global synchronized recovery also brings the prospect of higher inflation. Central banks have to manage the delicate balance between too-loose financial conditions, which risks economies overheating, and too-tight conditions, which could trigger recession. The nomination of Jerome Powell for Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) is largely expected to maintain the course set by Chair Janet Yellen after her term expires in February 2018, and the much anticipated tax overhaul, passed at the end of December, may likely boost economic growth but could complicate the Fed’s job of managing interest rates in the years ahead.
Negotiations surrounding the budget showdown are in the forefront, as Congress debates the U.S. debt ceiling limit and spending related to the military, disaster relief, the Children’s Health Insurance Program and immigration policy. In addition, the ongoing “Brexit” negotiations and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) talks may impact key trade and political partnerships. Tensions with North Korea may continue to flare.
The magnitude of the market’s bullishness during 2017 has been somewhat surprising, but gains may not be so easy in the coming years. Nobody can predict market shifts, and that is why Nuveen encourages you to talk to your financial advisor to ensure your investment portfolio is appropriately diversified for your objectives, time horizon and risk tolerance. On behalf of the other members of the Nuveen Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
William J. Schneider
Chairman of the Board
January 22, 2018

Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Bond Fund
Nuveen Nebraska Municipal Bond Fund
Nuveen Oregon Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund
These Funds feature portfolio management by Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, an affiliate of Nuveen, LLC. Portfolio managers Christopher L. Drahn, CFA, and Michael S. Hamilton review key investment strategies and the Funds’ performance. Chris has managed the Nuveen Minnesota Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund since 1994 and the Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Bond Fund since 2016. Michael has managed the Nuveen Nebraska Municipal Bond Fund since 2016 and the Nuveen Oregon Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund since 1997.
How did the Funds perform during the six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2017?
The tables in the Fund Performance, Expense and Effective Leverage Ratios section of this report provide each Fund’s total return performance information for the six-month, one-year, five-year, ten-year and/or since-inception periods ended November 30, 2017. Each Fund’s Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) are compared with the performance of their corresponding benchmark and Lipper classification average.
For the six-month reporting period, the Class A Shares at NAV of the Nuveen Minnesota Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index, the Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Bond Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index and the Nuveen Nebraska Municipal Bond Fund underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index, while the Nuveen Oregon Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund trailed the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Intermediate, Minnesota and Nebraska Funds each outperformed its respective Lipper classification average, while the Oregon Intermediate Fund’s results were roughly in line.
What strategies were used to manage the Funds during the six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2016 and how did these strategies influence performance?
All of the Funds continued to employ the same fundamental investment strategies and tactics long relied upon by NAM. Our municipal bond portfolios are managed with a value-oriented approach and close input from NAM’s research team. Below we highlight the specific factors influencing each Fund’s investment strategy, as well as how we managed each portfolio in light of recent market conditions.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
Nuveen Minnesota Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund
During the six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2017, the Nuveen Minnesota Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund outpaced the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index.
This outperformance relative to the S&P index was partly due to favorable yield curve positioning. Specifically, the Fund’s overweighting in bonds on the longer end of our intermediate-duration universe, especially bonds with durations of roughly 8 to 12 years, which provided a performance advantage in light of longer bonds’ outperformance relative to shorter-dated issues.
The Fund was also well positioned from a credit quality standpoint. With its overweightings in lower investment grade rated and non-rated bonds, we were able to benefit from a market environment that was rewarding lower rated, higher yielding issues, which investors were eager to own as interest rates remained historically low.
The Fund was helped by its overweighting in the health care sector, which enjoyed favorable results during the reporting period. This positive impact, however, was partly offset by an overweighting in pre-refunded securities, an overweighting that grew as several of our holdings were pre-refunded during the reporting period. Because of these bonds’ high credit quality and short maturities, our modest overweighting in this category modestly hampered relative performance.
When making new purchases during the reporting period, most of our new additions to the portfolio consisted of longer-intermediate bonds, with an emphasis on the 10  –  20 year portion of the yield curve, the portion of the Fund’s investment universe that we believed provided better value for shareholders. Proceeds for these purchases came primarily from new shareholder inflows and bond calls.
Our purchases took place across a variety of sectors, with notable bond acquisitions consisting of health care issues we believed provided attractive long-term value. These acquisitions included A rated hospital bonds issued by Fairview Health, as well as several non-rated bond issues of senior housing providers: Presbyterian Homes and Services in St. Paul Park, Samaritan Bethany in Rochester, and Country Manor in Sartell.
Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Bond Fund
The Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Bond Fund’s Class A Shares at NAV outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2017.
Bond yields drifted upward during the reporting period, especially on the short end of the yield curve. Shorter-dated issues tended to struggle and underperform their longer-maturity counterparts. Accordingly, our overweighting in longer-dated bonds and corresponding underweighting in shorter-maturity bonds were positive factors behind the Fund’s relative showing.
The Fund’s credit quality allocation also had a positive performance impact. During the reporting period, lower rated bonds tended to outperform higher rated securities, reflecting investors’ preference for higher yielding securities amid continued historically low interest rates. In such an environment, our relative overweightings in bonds with lower investment grade credit ratings, as well as in the non-rated category, added value, while maintaining more limited exposure to the market’s highly rated bonds further contributed.
On a sector basis, an overweighting in health care issues contributed to the Fund’s relative performance, as did our underweighting in state and local general obligation bonds, which underperformed.
When buying new bonds for the Fund, we primarily used the proceeds of new shareholder investments, bond calls and maturities. To a lesser extent, we also funded new purchases by selling certain longer dated, lower coupon bonds. In our opinion, these bonds were opportune sales candidates because they can be less resilient in more challenging market environments. To seek to generate more consistent performance in the future irrespective of the market backdrop, we opted to replace some of these securities with new higher coupon bonds available in the marketplace.
Our new purchases during the reporting period, which took place in both the primary and secondary municipal bond markets, became somewhat more frequent toward the end of the reporting period as the available supply picked up. Our acquisitions emphasized longer-dated bonds with maturities of 15 to 30 years, a portion of the yield curve that we believed offered a better return for shareholders.
During the reporting period, we added BBB rated bonds of Bethel University; these issues replaced some older securities in the portfolio previously called by the issuer. Other notable purchases consisted of A rated bonds of Fairview Health, a Minnesota hospital sys

tem. We also added several non-rated bonds to the portfolio, including senior housing bonds issued by Presbyterian Homes and Services in St. Paul Park and Samaritan Bethany, an assisted living community in Rochester, Minnesota.
Nuveen Nebraska Municipal Bond Fund
The Nuveen Nebraska Municipal Bond Fund underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2017.
The Fund’s sector positioning was a modest drag on relative performance, primarily due to our overweighting in the pre-refunded market segment. These securities, which are very short-term and high in quality, lagged in an environment in which investors sought additional yield through longer-term and lower quality securities.
On the positive side, our duration (interest rate) positioning lifted results. The portfolio maintained a larger-than-index exposure to bonds with durations of ten years and longer, which outperformed the S&P index, and underweighted in bonds six years and shorter, which lagged.
On balance, credit quality positioning was also a positive factor. Overweighting bonds with lower investment grade ratings, especially A rated bonds, added value in light of these securities’ relative outperformance. Additionally, underweighting securities rated AAA, the highest quality tier in the marketplace, had a positive performance impact, since these bonds generally failed to keep pace with their lower quality counterparts. The positive effects of this combined positioning, however, were offset by the portfolio’s underweighting in BBB rated and non-investment grade bonds, two higher yielding categories that posted the best overall results during the reporting period.
Sizable investment inflows, as well as bond calls and maturities, provided us with significant proceeds to invest this reporting period. Fortunately, the supply of Nebraska bonds was ample, affording opportunities to purchase securities at appealing valuations. Municipal bond supply in Nebraska, like in most states, was spurred late in the reporting period by some issuers “pulling forward” deals that had been scheduled for 2018, moves made in anticipation of the proposed elimination of the tax exemption for advance refunding and private activity bonds.
Our purchases were generally bonds with maturities beyond 13 years, a part of the yield curve we found particularly attractive due to comparatively high yields that added to the Fund’s income. New purchases were spread across a number of credit quality segments and market sectors, most notably health care, water and sewer, utilities, and higher education.
We eliminated holdings in U.S. Virgin Islands Port Authority marine revenue bonds. This sale reflected the potential negative impact of Hurricane Irma on the issuer’s revenues, which are highly dependent on tourism and the local economy.
Nuveen Oregon Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund
The Nuveen Oregon Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index for the six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2017. In part, this result reflected the Oregon municipal market’s underperformance of the national municipal market. Comparatively heavy issuance of Oregon bonds earlier in 2017 continued to weigh on Oregon municipal bond prices throughout the reporting period.
Duration, or interest rate, positioning was a modest positive performance factor for the Fund, led by our overweighting in bonds of eight years and longer. These securities outpaced those with maturities of two to six years, in which the Fund was underweighted. Additionally, being overweighted in bonds with durations of less than two years contributed in light of their relative outperformance.
Credit quality positioning also had a favorable impact on performance. Overweighting lower investment grade bonds, and especially BBB rated issues, added value, given these securities’ outperformance, as investors gravitated toward bonds with higher yields. Additionally, underweighting securities rated AAA and AA also contributed, reflecting the relative underperformance of lower yielding bonds.
Sector positioning was modestly beneficial, with our underweighting in state general obligation bonds aiding relative results. In contrast, a relative underweighting in the higher education sector detracted modestly as this sector outperformed the index as a whole.
Bond sales were limited during the reporting period, given our preference for generally maintaining the Fund’s existing credit quality and sector positioning, which we continued to like throughout the reporting period. However, we did identify some opportunities to sell a handful of lower coupon holdings at what we viewed as attractive valuations. We were concerned that these securities might be particularly vulnerable to further potential interest rate hikes.
NUVEEN      7


Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
We used proceeds from these sales, as well as those of bond calls and maturities, to purchase new, higher coupon bonds with maturities in the 12- to 15-year portion of the yield curve. These purchases took place across several sectors, including health care, local general obligation and higher education. At the same time, we allowed the Fund’s position in cash and cash equivalents to increase to roughly 4.5% of net assets by the end of the reporting period. We employed this strategy to help balance out the additional interest rate sensitivity stemming from our purchases of longer term securities and keep our duration in line with the intermediate index.
Another notable purchase was a variable-rate security issued by Salem Hospital. This security provides a hedge against rising interest rates due to the fact that its coupon resets weekly. It also offers a potentially higher return than cash, especially if interest rates continue to rise. Another reason we found these securities attractive was that the market for them is relatively liquid, meaning we expect to be able to easily sell them when we see attractive opportunities among fixed-rate securities.
Note About Investment Valuations
The municipal securities held by the Funds are valued by the Funds’ pricing service using a range of market-based inputs and assumptions. A different municipal pricing service might incorporate different assumptions and inputs into its valuation methodology, potentially resulting in different values for the same securities. Thus, the current net asset value of a Fund’s shares might be impacted, higher or lower, if the Fund were to use a different pricing service, or if its pricing service were to materially change its valuation methodology. On October 4, 2016, the Fund’s then-current municipal bond pricing service was acquired by the parent company of another pricing service, and the combination of the valuation methodologies used by the two organizations took place on October 16, 2017. The change of valuation methodologies due to that combination had little or no impact on the net asset value of each Fund’s shares.

Risk Considerations
and Dividend Information
Risk Considerations
Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Debt or fixed income securities such as those held by the Funds, are subject to market risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, call risk, state concentration risk, tax risk, and income risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Credit risk refers to an issuers ability to make interest and principal payments when due. Below investment grade or high yield debt securities are subject to liquidity risk and heightened credit risk. The Funds’ use of inverse floaters creates effective leverage. Leverage involves the risk that the Funds could lose more than its original investment and also increases the Funds’ exposure to volatility and interest rate risk.
Dividend Information
Each Fund seeks to pay regular monthly dividends out of its net investment income at a rate that reflects its past and projected net income performance. To permit each Fund to maintain a more stable monthly dividend, the Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it will hold the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund’s net asset value. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid in dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute a negative UNII that will likewise be reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. Each Fund will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to shareholders.
As of November 30, 2017, the Funds had positive UNII balances, based upon our best estimate, for tax purposes. Minnesota Intermediate, Minnesota and Nebraska had positive UNII balances, while Oregon Intermediate had a negative UNII balance for financial reporting purposes.
All monthly dividends paid by each Fund during the current reporting period were paid from net investment income. If a portion of the Fund’s monthly distributions was sourced from or comprised of elements other than net investment income, including capital gains and/or a return of capital, shareholders would have received a notice to that effect. For financial reporting purposes, the composition and per share amounts of each Fund’s dividends for the reporting period are presented in this report’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights, respectively. For income tax purposes, distribution information for each Fund as of its most recent tax year end is presented in Note 6  –  Income Tax Information within the Notes to Financial Statements of this report.

Fund Performance, Expense Ratios
and Effective Leverage Ratios
The Fund Performance, Expense Ratios and Effective Leverage Ratios for each Fund are shown within this section of the report.
Returns quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Total returns for a period of less than one year are not annualized. Returns at net asset value (NAV) would be lower if the sales charge were included. Returns assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. For performance, current to the most recent month-end visit Nuveen.com or call (800) 257-8787.
Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Income is generally exempt from regular federal income taxes. Some income may be subject to state and local income taxes and to the federal alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to tax.
Returns may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the investment adviser during the periods presented. If any such waivers and/or reimbursements had not been in place, returns would have been reduced. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 7—Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates for more information.
Returns reflect differences in sales charges and expenses, which are primarily differences in distribution and service fees, and assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.
Comparative index and Lipper return information is provided for Class A Shares at NAV only.
The expense ratios shown reflect total operating expenses (before fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any) as shown in the most recent prospectus. The expense ratios include management fees and other fees and expenses.
Leverage is created whenever a Fund has investment exposure (both reward and/or risk) equivalent to more than 100% of its investment capital. The effective leverage ratio shown for each Fund is the amount of investment exposure created either directly through borrowings or indirectly through inverse floaters, divided by the assets invested, including those assets that were purchased with the proceeds of the leverage, or referenced by the levered instrument. A Fund may from time to time borrow on a typically transient basis in connection with its day-to-day operations, primarily in connection with the need to pay cash out to redeeming shareholders or to settle portfolio trades. Such incidental borrowings, described generally in Notes to Financial Statements, Note 8—Borrowing Arrangements, are excluded from the calculation of a Fund’s effective leverage ratio.

Yields as of November 30, 2017
Dividend Yield is the most recent dividend per share (annualized) divided by the offering price per share.
The SEC 30-Day Yield is a standardized measure of a fund’s yield that accounts for the future amortization of premiums or discounts of bonds held in the fund’s portfolio. The SEC 30-Day Yield is computed under an SEC standardized formula and is based on the maximum offer price per share. Subsidized yields reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements from the investment adviser during the period. If any such waivers and/or reimbursements had not been in place, yields would have been reduced. Unsubsidized yields do not reflect waivers and/or reimbursements from the investment adviser during the period. If the fund did not receive a fee waiver/expense reimbursement during the period under its most recent agreement, subsidized and unsubsidized yields well be equal. Refer to the Notes to Financial Statements, Note 7  –  Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates for further details on the investment adviser’s most recent agreement with the Fund to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses, where applicable. Dividend Yield may differ from the SEC 30-Day Yield because the fund may be paying out more or less than it is earning and it may not include the effect of amortization of bond premium.
The Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the fund on an after-tax basis at a specified tax rate. If the comparison were instead to investments that generate qualified dividend income, which is taxable at a rate lower than an individual’s ordinary graduated tax rate, the fund’s Taxable-Equivalent Yield would be lower.

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

Expense
Examples
As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including up-front and back-end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees, where applicable; and other Fund expenses. The Examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Examples below do not include the interest and related expenses from inverse floaters that are reflected in the financial statements later within this report, when applicable.
The Examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the period ended November 30, 2017.
The beginning of the period is June 1, 2017.
The information under “Actual Performance,” together with the amount you invested, allows you to estimate actual expenses incurred over the reporting period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the cost shown for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Incurred During Period” to estimate the expenses incurred on your account during this period.
The information under “Hypothetical Performance,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you incurred for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the following tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds or share classes. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets.  
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns.  
(3) For financial reporting purposes, the ratings disclosed are the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. This treatment of split-rated securities may differ from that used for other purposes, such as for Fund investment policies. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies.  
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are not rated by national ratings agencies and are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of the U.S. Government or agency.  
(5) Investment has a maturity of greater than one year, but has variable rate and/or demand features which qualify it as a short-term investment. The rate disclosed, as well as the reference rate and spread, where applicable, is that in effect at the end of the reporting period. This rate changes periodically based on market conditions or a specified market index.  
144A Investment is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These investments may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration, which are normally those transactions with qualified institutional buyers.  
ETM Escrowed to maturity.

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets.  
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns.  
(3) For financial reporting purposes, the ratings disclosed are the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. This treatment of split-rated securities may differ from that used for other purposes, such as for Fund investment policies. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies.  
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are not rated by national ratings agencies and are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of the U.S. Government or agency.  
(5) Investment has a maturity of greater than one year, but has variable rate and/or demand features which qualify it as a short-term investment. The rate disclosed, as well as the reference rate and spread, where applicable, is that in effect at the end of the reporting period. This rate changes periodically based on market conditions or a specified market index.  
144A Investment is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These investments may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration, which are normally those transactions with qualified institutional buyers.  
ETM Escrowed to maturity.  
WI/DD Investment, or portion of investment, purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.  
See accompanying notes to financial statements.

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

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets.  
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns.  
(3) For financial reporting purposes, the ratings disclosed are the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. This treatment of split-rated securities may differ from that used for other purposes, such as for Fund investment policies. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies.  
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are not rated by national ratings agencies and are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of the U.S. Government or agency.  
(5) Investment has a maturity of greater than one year, but has variable rate and/or demand features which qualify it as a short-term investment. The rate disclosed, as well as the reference rate and spread, where applicable, is that in effect at the end of the reporting period. This rate changes periodically based on market conditions or a specified market index.  
144A Investment is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These investments may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration, which are normally those transactions with qualified institutional buyers.  
WI/DD Investment, or portion of investment, purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.

Notes to
Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1.  General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
General Information
Trust and Fund Information
Nuveen Investment Funds, Inc. (the "Trust"), is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trust is comprised of Nuveen Minnesota Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund ("Minnesota Intermediate"), Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Bond Fund ("Minnesota"), Nuveen Nebraska Municipal Bond Fund ("Nebraska") and Nuveen Oregon Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund ("Oregon Intermediate"), (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"), as diversified funds, among others. The Trust was incorporated in the State of Maryland on August 20, 1987.
The end of the reporting period for the Funds is November 30, 2017, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the six months ended November 30, 2017 (the "current fiscal period”).
Investment Adviser
The Funds' investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC (“Nuveen”). Nuveen is the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA). The Adviser has overall responsibility for management of the Funds, oversees the management of the Funds' portfolios, manages the Funds' business affairs and provides certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services, and, if necessary, asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, (the “Sub-Adviser”), a subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolios of the Funds.
Investment Objectives
The investment objective of each Fund is to provide maximum current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and its respective state income tax to the extent consistent with prudent investment risk.
The Funds' most recent prospectus provides further descriptions of each Fund's investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks.
Significant Accounting Policies
Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 "Financial Services-Investment Companies." The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each Fund in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the specific identification method, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have earmarked securities in their portfolios with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments.
As of the end of the reporting period, the following Funds’ outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments were as follows:
  Minnesota Nebraska Oregon
Intermediate
Outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments $2,507,448 $2,097,168 $1,410,064
Investment Income
Investment income is comprised of interest income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, and is recorded on an accrual basis. Investment income also reflects payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest and paydown gains and losses, if any. PIK interest represents income received in the form of securities in lieu of cash.
84      NUVEEN


Professional Fees
Professional fees presented on the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in an attempt to protect or enhance an investment or to pursue other claims or legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders. If a refund is received for workout expenditures paid in a prior reporting period, such amounts will be recognized as “Legal fee refund” on the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. Fund shares begin to accrue dividends on the business day after the day when the monies used to purchase Fund shares are collected by the transfer agent.
Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Share Classes and Sales Charges
Class A Shares are generally sold with an up-front sales charge and incur a 0.20% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class A Share purchases of $250,000 or more are sold at net asset value (“NAV”) without an up-front sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1% if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase. Class C Shares are sold without an up-front sales charge but incur a 0.75% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a 0.25% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class C1 Shares of the Funds (except for Oregon Intermediate, which does not offer Class C1 Shares) are not available for new accounts or for additional investment into exisiting accounts, but Class C1 Shares can be issued for purposes of dividend reinvestment. Class C1 Shares were sold without an up-front sales charge, but incur a 0.40% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a 0.25% annual 12b-1 service fee. The Funds will issue Class C2 Shares upon the exchange of Class C2 Shares from another Nuveen municipal bond fund or for the purpose of dividend reinvestment, but Class C2 Shares are not available for new accounts or for additional investment into existing accounts. Class C2 Shares incur a 0.55% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a 0.20% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class C, Class C1 and Class C2 Shares are subject to a CDSC of 1% if redeemed within twelve months of purchase. Class I Shares are not subject to any sales charge or 12b-1 distribution or service fees.
Multiclass Operations and Allocations
Income and expenses of the Fund that are not directly attributable to a specific class of shares are prorated among the classes based on the relative settled shares of each class. Expenses directly attributable to a class of shares are recorded to the specific class. Currently, the only expenses that are allocated on a class-specific basis are 12b-1 distribution and service fees.
Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Funds are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class.
Compensation
The Trust pays no compensation directly to those of its directors who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Funds' Board of Directors ("the Board") has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent directors that enables directors to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen-advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen-advised funds.
Indemnifications
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Netting Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows each Fund to offset certain securities and derivatives with a specific counterparty, when applicable, as well as any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, each Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis.
The Funds' investments subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, if any, are further described in Note 3 - Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the current fiscal period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2.  Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
The fair valuation input levels as described below are for fair value measurement purposes.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.
Level 1  –   Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2  –   Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3  –   Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
Prices of fixed income securities are provided by an independent pricing service (“pricing service”) approved by the Board. The pricing service establishes a security’s fair value using methods that may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer or market activity, provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs.
Certain securities may not be able to be priced by the pre-established pricing methods as described above. Such securities may be valued by the Board and/or its appointee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; debt securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market quotation; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of a Fund’s NAV (as may be the case in non-U.S. markets on which the security is primarily traded) or make it difficult or impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as provided by the pricing service, is not deemed to reflect the security’s fair value. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Board and/or its appointee.
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund’s fair value measurements as of the end of the reporting period:

* Refer to the Fund's Portfolio of Investments for industry classifications.
The Board is responsible for the valuation process and has appointed the oversight of the daily valuation process to the Adviser’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee, pursuant to the valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board, is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the Funds' pricing policies and reporting to the Board. The Valuation Committee is aided in its efforts by the Adviser’s dedicated Securities Valuation Team, which is responsible for administering the daily valuation process and applying fair value methodologies as approved by the Valuation Committee. When determining the reliability of independent pricing services for investments owned by the Funds, the Valuation Committee, among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of the pricing services and monitors the quality of security prices received through various testing reports conducted by the Securities Valuation Team.
The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making a fair value determination, based on the facts and circumstances specific to the portfolio instrument. Fair value determinations generally will be derived as follows, using public or private market information:
(i) If available, fair value determinations shall be derived by extrapolating from recent transactions or quoted prices for identical or comparable securities.
(ii) If such information is not available, an analytical valuation methodology may be used based on other available information including, but not limited to: analyst appraisals, research reports, corporate action information, issuer financial statements and shelf registration statements. Such analytical valuation methodologies may include, but are not limited to: multiple of earnings, discount from market value of a similar freely- traded security, discounted cash flow analysis, book value or a multiple thereof, risk premium/yield analysis, yield to maturity and/or fundamental investment analysis.
The purchase price of a portfolio instrument will be used to fair value the instrument only if no other valuation methodology is available or deemed appropriate, and it is determined that the purchase price fairly reflects the instrument’s current value.
For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board, the fair value price is compared against the last available and next available market quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such testing and fair valuation occurrences are reported to the Board.
3.  Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives
Portfolio Securities
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond (referred to as an “Underlying Bond”), typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose tender option bond (“TOB”) trust (referred to as the “TOB Trust”) created by or at the direction of one or more Funds. In turn, the TOB Trust issues (a) floating rate certificates (referred to as “Floaters”), in face amounts equal to some fraction of the Underlying Bond’s par amount or market value, and (b) an inverse floating rate certificate (referred to as an “Inverse Floater”) that represents all remaining or residual interest in the TOB Trust. Floaters typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties who are also provided a right to tender their certificate and receive its par value, which may be paid from the proceeds of a remarketing of the Floaters, by a loan to the TOB Trust from a third party liquidity provider (“Liquidity Provider”), or by the sale of assets from the TOB Trust. The Inverse Floater is issued to a long term investor, such as one or more of the Funds. The income received by the Inverse Floater holder varies inversely with the
NUVEEN      87


Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
short-term rate paid to holders of the Floaters, and in most circumstances the Inverse Floater holder bears substantially all of the Underlying Bond’s downside investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the Underlying Bond’s value. The value of an Inverse Floater will be more volatile than that of the Underlying Bond because the interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the Underlying Bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the Floaters, and because the Inverse Floater essentially bears the risk of loss (and possible gain) of the greater face value of the Underlying Bond.
The Inverse Floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right to (a) cause the holders of the Floaters to tender their certificates at par (or slightly more than par in certain circumstances), and (b) have the trustee of the TOB Trust (the “Trustee”) transfer the Underlying Bond held by the TOB Trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the TOB Trust.
The Fund may acquire an Inverse Floater in a transaction where it (a) transfers an Underlying Bond that it owns to a TOB Trust created by a third party or (b) transfers an Underlying Bond that it owns, or that it has purchased in a secondary market transaction for the purpose of creating an Inverse Floater, to a TOB Trust created at its direction, and in return receives the Inverse Floater of the TOB Trust (referred to as a “self-deposited Inverse Floater”). A Fund may also purchase an Inverse Floater in a secondary market transaction from a third party creator of the TOB Trust without first owning the Underlying Bond (referred to as an “externally-deposited Inverse Floater”).
An investment in a self-deposited Inverse Floater is accounted for as a “financing” transaction (i.e., a secured borrowing). For a self-deposited Inverse Floater, the Underlying Bond deposited into the TOB Trust is identified in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments as “(UB)  –  Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction,” with the Fund recognizing as liabilities, labeled “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, (a) the liquidation value of Floaters issued by the TOB Trust, and (b) the amount of any borrowings by the TOB Trust from a Liquidity Provider to enable the TOB Trust to purchase outstanding Floaters in lieu of a remarketing. In addition, the Fund recognizes in “Investment Income” the entire earnings of the Underlying Bond, and recognizes (a) the interest paid to the holders of the Floaters or on the TOB Trust’s borrowings, and (b) other expenses related to remarketing, administration, trustee, liquidity and other services to a TOB Trust, as a component of “Interest expense” on the Statement of Operations.
In contrast, an investment in an externally-deposited Inverse Floater is accounted for as a purchase of the Inverse Floater and is identified in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments as “(IF)  –  Inverse floating rate investment.” For an externally-deposited Inverse Floater, a Fund’s Statement of Assets and liabilities recognizes the Inverse Floater and not the Underlying Bond as an asset, and the Fund does not recognize the Floaters, or any related borrowings from a Liquidity Provider, as a liability. Additionally, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” only the net amount of earnings on the Inverse Floater (net of the interest paid to the holders of the Floaters or the Liquidity Provider as lender, and the expenses of the Trust), and does not show the amount of that interest paid or the expenses of the TOB Trust as described above as interest expense on the Statement of Operations.
During the current fiscal period, the Funds did not have any transactions in self-deposited Inverse Floaters and/or externally-deposited Inverse Floaters.
Zero Coupon Securities
A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
Investments in Derivatives
In addition to the inverse floating rate securities in which each Fund may invest, which are considered portfolio securities for financial reporting purposes, each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments. The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds’ investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes.
Although the Funds are authorized to invest in derivative instruments, and may do so in the future, they did not make any such investments during the current fiscal period.
Market and Counterparty Credit Risk
In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the
88      NUVEEN


custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount.
4.  Fund Shares
Each Fund has an effective registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to issue Class T Shares, which were not yet available for public offering at the time this report was issued.
Transactions in Fund shares during the current and prior fiscal period were as follows:

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


For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate securities reflected as financing transactions, if any. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the NAVs of the Funds.
The table below presents the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of each Fund’s investment portfolio, as determined on a federal income tax basis, as of November 30, 2017.

7.  Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees
Each Fund’s management fee compensates the Adviser for the overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.
Each Fund’s management fee consists of two components  –  a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within each individual Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables each Fund’s shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
For the period June 1, 2017 through July 31, 2017, the annual Fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund was calculated according to the following schedule:
Average Daily Net Assets Minnesota
Intermediate
Minnesota Nebraska Oregon
Intermediate
 
For the first $125 million 0.3500% 0.3500% 0.3500% 0.3500%

For net assets over $2 billion 0.2750 0.2750 0.2750 0.2750  
Effective August 1, 2017, the annual Fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated according to the following schedule:

The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is determined by taking the complex-level fee rate, which is based on the aggregate amount of "eligible assets" of all Nuveen funds as set forth in the schedule below, and making, as appropriate, an upward adjustment to that rate based upon the percentage of the particular fund's assets that are not "eligible assets". The complex-level fee schedule for each Fund is as follows:
Complex-Level Asset Breakpoint Level* Effective Rate at Breakpoint Level
$55 billion 0.2000%
$56 billion 0.1996
$57 billion 0.1989
$60 billion 0.1961
$63 billion 0.1931
$66 billion 0.1900
$71 billion 0.1851
$76 billion 0.1806
$80 billion 0.1773
$91 billion 0.1691
$125 billion 0.1599
$200 billion 0.1505
$250 billion 0.1469
$300 billion 0.1445
* The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily “eligible assets” of all Nuveen funds. Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen funds or assets in excess of a determined amount (originally $2 billion) added to the Nuveen fund complex in connection with the Adviser’s assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011. Eligible assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to certain types of leverage. For these purposes, leverage includes the closed-end funds’ use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining eligible assets in certain circumstances. As of November 30, 2017, the complex-level fee for each Fund was as follows:
Fund Complex-Level Fee
Minnesota Intermediate 0.1829%
Minnesota 0.1752%
Nebraska 0.1803%
Oregon Intermediate 0.1851%
The Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (“Expense Cap”) of Nebraska so that total annual Fund operating expenses (excluding 12b-1 distribution and/or service fees, interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed of the average daily net assets of any class of Fund shares in the amounts and for the time period stated in the following table. This expense limitation may be terminated prior to the date listed below only with the approval of the Board.
Fund Expense Cap Expense Cap
Expiration Date
Nebraska 0.70% July 31, 2019
Other Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other funds managed by the Adviser (“inter-fund trade”) under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. These procedures have been designed to ensure that any inter-fund trade of securities by the Fund from or to another fund that is, or could be, considered an affiliate of the Fund under certain limited circumstances by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment adviser), common officer and/or common trustee complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each inter-fund trade is effected at the current market price as provided by an independent pricing service. Unsettled inter-fund trades as of the end of the reporting period are recognized as a component of “Receivable for investments sold” and/or “Payable for investments purchased” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.
During the current fiscal period, the following Fund engaged in inter-fund trades pursuant to these procedures as follows:
Inter-Fund Trades Minnesota
Purchases $753,833
Sales  —
During the current fiscal period, Nuveen Securities, LLC, (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen, collected sales charges on purchases of Class A Shares, the majority of which were paid out as concessions to financial intermediaries as follows:

CDSC retained $2,579 $20,880 $1,010 $5,417
8.  Borrowing Arrangements
Uncommitted Line of Credit
During the current fiscal period, the Funds participated in an unsecured bank line of credit (“Unsecured Credit Line”) under which outstanding balances would bear interest at a variable rate. Although the Funds participated in the Unsecured Credit Line, they did not have any outstanding balances during the current fiscal period.
The Unsecured Credit Line was not renewed after its scheduled termination date of July 27, 2017.
Committed Line of Credit
The Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Adviser (“Participating Funds”), have established a 364-day, approximately $3 billion standby credit facility with a group of lenders, under which the Participating Funds may borrow for various purposes other than leveraging for investment purposes. A large portion of this facility’s capacity (and its associated costs as described below) is currently dedicated for use by a small number of Participating Funds, which does not include any of the Funds covered by this shareholder report. The remaining capacity under the facility (and the corresponding portion of the facility’s annual costs) is separately dedicated to most of the other open-end funds in the Nuveen fund family, including all of the Funds covered by this shareholder report, along with a number of Nuveen closed-end funds. The credit facility expires in July 2018 unless extended or renewed.
The credit facility has the following terms: a fee of 0.15% per annum on unused commitment amounts, and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) one-month LIBOR (London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) plus 1.25% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.25% per annum on amounts borrowed. Participating Funds paid administration, legal and arrangement fees, which are recognized as a component of “Other expenses” on the Statement of Operations, and along with commitment fees, have been allocated among such Participating Funds based upon the relative proportions of the facility’s aggregate capacity reserved for them and other factors deemed relevant by the Adviser and the Board of each Participating Fund.
During the current fiscal period, Oregon Intermediate utilized this facility. The Fund’s maximum outstanding daily balance during the utilization period was $2,500,000. The Fund’s average daily balance outstanding and average annual interest rate during the utilization period was $1,571,429 and
94      NUVEEN


2.39%, respectively. Borrowings outstanding as of the end of the reporting period, if any, are recognized as "Borrowings" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Minnesota, Minnesota Intermediate and Nebraska did not utilize the facility during the current fiscal period.
9.  New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-08 (“ASU 2017-08”) Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities
During March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-08, which shortens the premium amortization period for purchased non-contingently callable debt securities. ASU 2017-08 specifies that the premium amortization period ends at the earliest call date, for purchased non-contingently callable debt securities. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU 2017-08, if any.

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.
Duration: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bond’s principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond’s (or bond fund’s) value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond or fund’s duration, the more the price of the bond or fund will change as interest rates change.
Effective Leverage (Effective Leverage Ratio): Effective leverage is investment exposure created either directly through certain borrowings or indirectly through inverse floaters, divided by the assets invested, including those assets that were purchased with the proceeds of the leverage, or referenced by the levered instrument. The calculation of the Effective Leverage Ratio reflects borrowings effected on a long-term basis for investment purposes, but excludes borrowings that may occur, on a transient basis, in connection with a Fund’s day-to-day operations primarily in connection with the need to pay cash out to redeeming shareholders or to settle portfolio trades.
Industrial Development Revenue Bond (IDR): A unique type of revenue bond issued by a state or local government agency on behalf of a private sector company and intended to build or acquire factories or other heavy equipment and tools.
Inverse Floating Rate Securities: Inverse floating rate securities, also known as inverse floaters or tender option bonds (TOBs), are created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust. This trust, in turn, (a) issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) to an investor (such as a fund) interested in gaining investment exposure to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the inverse floater varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the holder of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis.
Lipper Minnesota Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Represents the average annualized total return for all reporting funds in the Lipper Minnesota Municipal Debt Funds Classification. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charge.
Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Represents the average annualized total return for all reporting funds in the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification. Shareholders should note that the performance of the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average represents the overall average of returns for funds from multiple states with a wide variety of municipal market conditions, making direct comparisons less meaningful. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charge.

Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Represents the average annualized total return for all reporting funds in the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification. Shareholders should note that the performance of the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average represents the overall average of returns for funds from multiple states with a wide variety of municipal market conditions, making direct comparisons less meaningful. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charge.
Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: A fund’s Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash and accrued earnings) less its total liabilities. For funds with multiple classes, Net Assets are determined separately for each share class. NAV per share is equal to the fund’s (or share class’) Net Assets divided by its number of shares outstanding.
Pre-Refundings: Pre-Refundings, also known as advance refundings or refinancings, occur when an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and interest payments of older existing bonds. This process often results in lower borrowing costs for bond issuers.
S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index: Contains all bonds in the S&P Municipal Bond Index that mature between 3 and 14.999 years. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
S&P Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax exempt, investment-grade U.S. municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
Total Investment Exposure: Total investment exposure is a fund’s assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes a fund’s use of preferred stock and borrowings and investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities.
