Chair’s Letter to Shareholders    
Dear Shareholders,
Financial markets have been receiving mixed messages over the past year. The global economy has bifurcated, split between a slumping manufacturing sector and a resilient consumer. Confidence has been weakened among corporate managements, who are wary of trade frictions and moderating global growth, but has remained elevated among consumers, who have benefited from tight labor markets and growing wages. As the economic cycle advances toward its later stage, corporate profits are shrinking and earnings forecasts are being downgraded. A waning growth outlook has held interest rates near historically low levels, while stock market indexes have overcome periodic volatility to touch historical highs.
While we continue to anticipate slower economic growth and increased market volatility, we note that recession fears have receded from earlier in the year. The U.S. economy held steady in the third quarter, and nearer-term economic indicators have provided upside surprises. Consumer confidence remains underpinned by low unemployment and modest wage growth. Looser financial conditions, in part driven by the Federal Reserve’s three interest rate cuts in 2019, have revived momentum in the housing market and should continue to encourage borrowing by consumers and businesses. Outside the U.S., Germany avoided a recession in the second half of 2019 and other eurozone economic indicators are pointing to stabilization and improving sentiment. Consumer spending in Europe and Japan, like in the U.S., has remained supported by jobs growth and rising wages. Although the outcomes of trade, Brexit and other geopolitical concerns continue to be uncertain, some clarity on these issues could be a potential source of upside.
At Nuveen, we still see investment opportunities in the maturing economic environment, but we are taking a selective approach. If you’re concerned about where the markets are headed from here, we encourage you to work with your financial advisor to review your time horizon, risk tolerance and investment goals. 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,
Terence J. Toth
Chair of the Board
January 21, 2020

These Funds feature portfolio management by Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (NAM), an affiliate of Nuveen, LLC. Portfolio managers Christopher L. Drahn, CFA, and Michael S. Hamilton review key investment strategies and the performance of the Nuveen Minnesota Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Nebraska Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen Oregon Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund. 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, 2019?
The tables in the Fund Performance, Expense Ratios and Effective Leverage Ratios section of this report provide each Fund’s total return performance information for the six-month, one-year, five-year, ten-year and/or since-inception periods ended November 30, 2019. The returns for each Fund’s Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) are compared with the performance of a corresponding market index and Lipper classification average.
During the reporting period, the Class A Shares at NAV of the Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Bond Fund outperformed its benchmark, the S&P Municipal Bond Index. The Class A Shares at NAV of the Nuveen Nebraska Municipal Bond Fund underperformed this performance measure. The Class A Shares at NAV of the Nuveen Minnesota Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund performed in line with its benchmark, the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index, while the Class A Shares at NAV of the Nuveen Oregon Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index. All four Funds outperformed their respective Lipper classification averages.
What strategies were used to manage the Funds and how did these strategies influence performance during the six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2019?
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.
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.

AAA, AA, A, and BBB are investment grade ratings; BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D are below-investment grade ratings.
Bond insurance guarantees only the payment of principal and interest on the bond when due, and not the value of the bonds themselves, which will fluctuate with the bond market and the financial success of the issuer and the insurer. Insurance relates specifically to the bonds in the portfolio and not to the share prices of a Fund. No representation is made as to the insurers’ ability to meet their commitments.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
Nuveen Minnesota Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund
The Class A Shares of the Nuveen Minnesota Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund performed in line with the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index for the six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2019.
Credit positioning had a slightly positive impact on the Fund’s relative performance. Our overweightings in bonds rated in the low end of investment grade, below investment grade and non-investment grade contributed to results, as these categories outperformed higher quality bonds (rated AA and above), in which the Fund was underweighted.
The Fund modestly benefited from its sector positioning. The main positive factor was our overweight in health care bonds, whose generally higher yields attracted investors seeking income in the low interest rate environment. Security selection in health care further contributed to relative performance, as did our choices among higher education bonds. Meanwhile, the Fund’s slight overweight among pre-refunded securities modestly detracted, given the underperformance of this high quality sector.
Duration positioning had an overall neutral impact on the Fund’s performance relative to the index, as our simultaneous overweightings of longer-duration and shorter-duration securities mostly counterbalanced each other. As interest rates declined during the reporting period, longer-duration securities, with their greater interest rate sensitivity, outperformed their shorter-duration, less rate sensitive counterparts.
The Fund experienced shareholder inflows during the reporting period. These, along with proceeds from bond calls and maturities, provided us with ample funds to make new purchases, which took place in both the new issue and secondary municipal bond markets. The purchases occurred across a variety of sectors and maturities, which allowed us to maintain the Fund’s duration positioning at our desired level. Key additions to the portfolio included bonds for Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Airports Commission and Folkestone Senior Living Community operated by Presbyterian Homes in Wayzata, Minnesota.
Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Bond Fund
The Class A Shares of the Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Bond Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2019.
A key factor behind this relative outperformance was the Fund’s duration (interest rate) positioning. The Fund’s overweighting in longer-duration securities and accompanying underweighting in shorter-duration securities was beneficial as interest rates declined.
The Fund also benefited from having exposure that was somewhat greater than the national index to lower coupon bonds, which outpaced higher coupon securities. Our overweighting in these bonds reflected the relative abundance of lower coupon securities in the Minnesota municipal market.
Credit rating positioning also helped drive the Fund’s outperformance. Our overweight in credit risk, especially among non-rated bonds, contributed to results, as did to a lesser extent our overweightings in the A and BB credit rating categories.
Sector positioning was another modest overall positive, led by an overweighing in the health care sector, with the Fund’s investments in hospitals and life-care facilities performing well. We further benefited from security selection in the higher education sector, where the Fund’s combination of investments outpaced a similar collection of securities in the index. Partially offsetting the performance boost from this positioning, however, was our overweighting in pre-refunded bonds, whose short durations and high credit quality led to underperformance in a market environment that generally favored lower quality bonds with more sensitivity to interest rates.
During the reporting period, we were far more often buyers than sellers, due to substantial new shareholder inflows, bond calls and bond maturities. Our new purchases took place across various sectors, with an emphasis on local general obligation bonds, given their ready availability and frequent issuance in the Minnesota municipal marketplace. Other new purchases during the reporting period included Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Airports Commission bonds, which we acquired when the bonds were newly issued in August 2019 and then again in the secondary municipal bond market. We also purchased non-rated bonds of Folkestone Senior Living Community operated by Presbyterian Homes in Wayzata, Minnesota.

Nuveen Nebraska Municipal Bond Fund
The Class A Shares of the Nuveen Nebraska Municipal Bond Fund underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2019.
Credit quality allocation was a primary factor behind this relative underperformance, with the Fund’s overweighting in securities rated AA modestly detracting. These higher quality securities lagged in an environment that generally rewarded higher yielding, lower rated securities. A partially offsetting positive factor, however, was our underweighting in bonds rated AAA, the highest quality and weakest performing credit tier. Our overweighting in securities rated A, which outperformed higher rated bonds, also modestly lifted the Fund’s relative performance.
Meanwhile, the Fund’s duration (interest rate sensitivity) and yield curve positioning contributed to results. The Fund’s longer duration allowed us to benefit more fully from falling interest rates. In terms of yield curve positioning, our heavier exposure to longer-term securities with effective durations of six years and longer, as well as our lighter exposure to securities with effective durations of six years and shorter, further contributed, given the outperformance of longer-term municipal bonds.
Security selection significantly contributed to relative performance, due largely to higher yielding, lower quality securities and purchases we made in the late spring and early summer 2019, prior to the market’s July 2019 rally. We also benefited from our holdings in non-rated Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corp. bonds, known as COFINAs. These securities generated strong price appreciation and were among the national municipal market’s top performers for the reporting period. As with other securities issued by U.S. territories, these bonds may include exemption from most federal, state and local taxes.
The Fund also saw strong performance from several longer-duration Nebraska securities in the school district, water/sewer and continuing care retirement communities (CCRC) sectors. As with most other long-duration bonds, these holdings outperformed the index as interest rates declined. Another positive performance factor was when certain of our University of Nebraska bond holdings strongly appreciated due to becoming advance refunded during the reporting period. (With advance refunding, an issuer sells new debt at lower interest rates to pay off outstanding debt carrying higher interest rates.) This event improved the securities’ credit quality and shortened their duration, triggering significant gains in the bonds’ prices.
During the reporting period, we were active buyers of municipal debt, applying the proceeds of bond calls and maturities, as well as substantial and steady shareholder inflows. Besides the Puerto Rico COFINA bonds and longer-duration Nebraska securities we mentioned, we also purchased some health care and local general obligation securities, emphasizing those with longer durations and credit ratings of A or higher.
Our sales activity was limited to one hospital bond just prior to its maturity. We sold the bond because of its limited upside and availability of more attractively valued securities in the marketplace at the time of the sale.
Nuveen Oregon Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund
The Class A Shares of the Nuveen Oregon Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index for the six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2019.
Looking first at sector allocation, the Fund was hurt by its lack of exposure to tobacco bonds, a strong performing category in the index that is not represented in the Oregon municipal marketplace. In addition, our underweighting in housing bonds, which is less well represented in Oregon than the national index, slightly dampened our relative performance, given the category’s favorable results.
On the positive side, our significant overweighting in the health care sector was helpful, reflecting the sector’s relative outperformance. While the tax supported sector underperformed the index as a whole, our positioning in general obligation securities added value, particularly local general obligation securities. While this sector underperformed as a whole, this was more than offset by our overweighting in longer duration tax supported debt.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
The Fund’s duration (interest rate stance) and yield curve positioning, meanwhile, contributed to results. Having more rate sensitivity, as measured by our portfolio’s longer duration, meant the Fund benefited more fully than the index from declining interest rates. In terms of yield curve positioning, the Fund was well situated to benefit from longer bonds’ outperformance during the reporting period, given that we were significantly overweighted in bonds with effective durations between six and ten years and simultaneously underweighted in securities with shorter effective durations.
Security selection also added value, led by higher yielding, lower quality securities and higher quality but longer duration positions. Throughout the reporting period we added to non-rated Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corp. securities, known as COFINA bonds, which were among the Fund’s best individual performers. In addition to being lower rated these bonds were also zero coupon bonds, which due to their heightened interest rate sensitivity performed very well. Like all debt issued by U.S. territories, COFINA bonds may include exemptions from most federal, state and local taxes. We purchased these securities as we believed they offered attractive yields relative for the risk.
Among Oregon bonds, our spring and early summer 2019 purchases of long-duration bonds, particularly local general obligation securities, benefited disproportionately from the market’s rally in July 2019.
In making bond purchases during the reporting period, we were more active than usual. This increased activity reflected the significant shareholder inflows we were receiving, as well as proceeds from bond calls and maturities. Accordingly, we had ample funds with which to purchase attractive new investment opportunities in the marketplace without having to sell existing portfolio holdings we otherwise liked.
In addition to purchases of COFINA and local school district bonds, we added securities from Oregon’s health care, electric and water/sewer sectors. Generally, newly purchased bonds had relatively high credit quality and carried maturities ranging from 12 to 15 years.
At times during the reporting period, shareholder inflows and opportunities to purchase bonds were mismatched. In those instances, we typically bought variable rate demand notes (VRDNs) to effectively serve as placeholders in the portfolio as we awaited suitable long-term investment opportunities. VRDNs are short-term securities whose coupons are reset on a daily or weekly basis, providing the Fund with a lower risk, income producing alternative to holding cash.

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. Distributions to shareholders are determined on a tax basis, which may differ from amounts recorded in the accounting records. In instances where the monthly dividend exceeds the earned net investment income, the Fund would report a negative undistributed net ordinary income. Refer to Note 6  –  Income Tax Information for additional information regarding the amounts of undistributed net ordinary income and undistributed net long-term capital gains and the character of the actual distributions paid by the Fund during the period.
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 is sourced or comprised of elements other than net investment income, including capital gains and/or a return of capital, shareholders will be notified of those sources. For financial reporting purposes, the per share amounts of each Fund’s distributions for the reporting period are presented in this report’s Financial Highlights. 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, 2019
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 will 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 an assumed tax rate. Your actual combined federal and state income tax rates may differ from the assumed rate. Taxable-Equivalent Yield also takes into account the percentage of the Fund’s income generated and paid by the Fund (based on payments made during the previous calendar year) that was either exempt from federal income tax but not from state income tax (e.g., income from an out-of-state municipal bond), or was exempt from neither federal nor state income tax. Separately, 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, 2019.
The beginning of the period is June 1, 2019.
The information under “Actual Performance,” together with the amount you invested, allows you to estimate actual expenses incurred over the reporting period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the cost shown for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Incurred During Period” to estimate the expenses incurred on your account during this period.
The information under “Hypothetical Performance,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you incurred for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the 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.

(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.  
(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 as of 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.  
(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 as of the end of the reporting period. This rate changes periodically based on market conditions or a specified market index.

(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.

(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) Step-up coupon bond, a bond with a coupon that increases ("steps up"), usually at regular intervals, while the bond is outstanding. The rate shown is the coupon as of the end of the reporting period.

Nuveen Investment Funds, Inc. (the "Trust"), is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), 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, 2019, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the six months ended November 30, 2019 (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.
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 C, Class C1, and C2 Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares ten years after purchase. Class I Shares are not subject to any sales charge or 12b-1 distribution or service fees.
2.  Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require the use of estimates made by management and the evaluation of subsequent events. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Each Fund is an investment company and follows the accounting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies. The NAV for financial reporting purposes may differ from the NAV for processing security and shareholder transactions. The NAV for financial reporting purposes includes security and shareholder transactions through the date of the report. Total return is computed based on the NAV used for processing security and shareholder transactions. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds.
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.
90


Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount, character and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
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.
Investments and Investment Income
Securities transactions are accounted for as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are based upon the specific identification method. Investment Income, is comprised of interest income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and includes 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.
Multiclass Operations and Allocations
Income and expenses of the Funds that are not directly attributable to a specific class of shares are prorated among the classes based on the relative settled shares of each class. Expenses directly attributable to a class of shares are recorded to the specific class. Currently, the only expenses that are allocated on a class-specific basis are 12b-1 distribution and service fees.
Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Funds are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class.
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 4 - Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives.
New Accounting Pronouncements and Rule Issuances
FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-08 (“ASU 2017-08”) Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities
The FASB has 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. During the current fiscal period, ASU 2017-08 became effective for the Funds and it did not have a material impact on the Funds' financial statements.
Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework
During August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”), Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework  –  Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosures required by Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has early implemented this guidance and it did not have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
3.  Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
The fair valuation input levels as described below are for fair value measurement purposes.
The Funds' investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. 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, credit spreads, etc.).
91


Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
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:

4.  Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives
Portfolio Securities
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond (referred to as an “Underlying Bond”), typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose tender option bond (“TOB”) trust (referred to as the “TOB Trust”) created by or at the direction of one or more Funds. In turn, the TOB Trust issues (a) floating rate certificates (referred to as “Floaters”), in face amounts equal to some fraction of the Underlying Bond’s par amount or market value, and (b) an inverse floating rate certificate (referred to as an “Inverse Floater”) that represents all remaining or residual interest in the TOB Trust. Floaters typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties who are also provided a right to tender their certificate and receive its par value, which may be paid from the proceeds of a remarketing of the Floaters, by a loan to the TOB Trust from a third party liquidity provider (“Liquidity Provider”), or by the sale of assets from the TOB Trust. The Inverse Floater is issued to a long term investor, such as one or more of the Funds. The income received by the Inverse Floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to holders of the Floaters, and in most circumstances the Inverse Floater holder bears substantially all of the Underlying Bond’s downside investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the Underlying Bond’s value. The value of an Inverse Floater will be more volatile than that of the Underlying Bond because the interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the Underlying Bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the Floaters, and because the Inverse Floater essentially bears the risk of loss (and possible gain) of the greater face value of the Underlying Bond.
The Inverse Floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right to (a) cause the holders of the Floaters to tender their certificates at par (or slightly more than par in certain circumstances), and (b) have the trustee of the TOB Trust (the “Trustee”) transfer the Underlying Bond held by the TOB Trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the TOB Trust.
The Fund may acquire an Inverse Floater in a transaction where it (a) transfers an Underlying Bond that it owns to a TOB Trust created by a third party or (b) transfers an Underlying Bond that it owns, or that it has purchased in a secondary market transaction for the purpose of creating an Inverse Floater, to a TOB Trust created at its direction, and in return receives the Inverse Floater of the TOB Trust (referred to as a “self-deposited Inverse Floater”). A Fund may also purchase an Inverse Floater in a secondary market transaction from a third party creator of the TOB Trust without first owning the Underlying Bond (referred to as an “externally-deposited Inverse Floater”).
An investment in a self-deposited Inverse Floater is accounted for as a “financing” transaction (i.e., a secured borrowing). For a self-deposited Inverse Floater, the Underlying Bond deposited into the TOB Trust is identified in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments as “(UB)  –  Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction,” with the Fund recognizing as liabilities, labeled “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, (a) the liquidation value of Floaters issued by the TOB Trust, and (b) the amount of any borrowings by the TOB Trust from a Liquidity Provider to enable the TOB Trust to purchase outstanding Floaters in lieu of a remarketing. In addition, the Fund recognizes in “Investment Income” the entire earnings of the Underlying Bond, and recognizes (a) the interest paid to the holders of the Floaters or on the TOB Trust’s borrowings, and (b) other expenses related to remarketing, administration, trustee, liquidity and other services to a TOB Trust, as a component of “Interest expense” on the Statement of Operations. Earnings due from the Underlying Bond and interest due to the holders of the Floaters as of the end of the reporting period are recognized as components of “Receivable for interest” and “Payable for interest” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, respectively.
In contrast, an investment in an externally-deposited Inverse Floater is accounted for as a purchase of the Inverse Floater and is identified in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments as “(IF)  –  Inverse floating rate investment.” For an externally-deposited Inverse Floater, a Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities recognizes the Inverse Floater and not the Underlying Bond as an asset, and the Fund does not recognize the Floaters, or any related borrowings from a Liquidity Provider, as a liability. Additionally, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” only the net amount of earnings on the Inverse Floater (net of the interest paid to the holders of the Floaters or the Liquidity Provider as lender, and the expenses of the Trust), and does not show the amount of that interest paid or the expenses of the TOB Trust as described above as interest expense on the Statement of Operations.
Fees paid upon the creation of a TOB Trust for self-deposited Inverse Floaters and externally-deposited Inverse Floaters are recognized as part of the cost basis of the Inverse Floater and are capitalized over the term of the TOB Trust.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
Investment Transactions
Long-term purchases and sales (including maturities but excluding derivatives transactions, where applicable) during the current fiscal period were as follows:
  Minnesota
Intermediate
Minnesota Nebraska Oregon
Intermediate
Purchases $38,561,643 $78,485,954 $11,962,942 $21,123,345
Sales and maturities 16,784,000 16,014,967 3,618,138 12,870,000
Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have earmarked securities in their portfolios with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments.
As of the end of the reporting period, the Funds’ outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments were as follows:
  Minnesota
Intermediate
Minnesota Nebraska Oregon
Intermediate
Outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments $243,901 $8,956,977 $1,133,870 $2,565,480
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 other derivative instruments. The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds' investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes.
Although the Funds are authorized to invest in derivative instruments and may do so in the future, they did not make any such investments during the current fiscal period.
Market and Counterparty Credit Risk
In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount.

6.  Income Tax Information
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and designated state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally 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
96


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, 2019.

Permanent differences, primarily due to federal taxes paid and taxable market discount, resulted in reclassifications among the Funds' components of net assets as of May 31, 2019, the Funds' last tax year end.
The tax components of undistributed net tax-exempt income, net ordinary income and net long-term capital gains as of May 31, 2019, the Funds' last tax year end, were as follows:

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.
97


Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is 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 the next $125 million 0.3375 0.3375 0.3375 0.3375
For the next $250 million 0.3250 0.3250 0.3250 0.3250
For the next $500 million 0.3125 0.3125 0.3125 0.3125
For the next $1 billion 0.3000 0.3000 0.3000 0.3000
For the next $3 billion 0.2750 0.2750 0.2750 0.2750
For the next $5 billion 0.2500 0.2500 0.2500 0.2500
For net assets over $10 billion 0.2375 0.2375 0.2375 0.2375
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 Eligible Asset Breakpoint Level* Effective Complex-Level Fee 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 open-end and closed-end 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, but do include certain assets of certain Nuveen funds that were reorganized into funds advised by an affiliate of the Adviser during the 2019 calendar year. 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, 2019, the complex-level fee for each Fund was as follows:
Fund Complex-Level Fee
Minnesota Intermediate 0.1796%
Minnesota 0.1683%
Nebraska 0.1748%
Oregon Intermediate 0.1803%
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 or modified 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, 2021
Other Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other funds managed by the Sub-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
98


investment adviser (or affiliated investment adviser), common officer and/or common trustee complies with Rule 17a-7 under 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.

8.  Borrowing Arrangements
Committed Line of Credit
The Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Adviser (“Participating Funds”), have established a 364-day, approximately $2.65 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. Each Participating Fund is allocated a designated proportion of the facility's capacity (and its associated costs, as described below) based upon a multi-factor assessment of the likelihood and frequency of its need to draw on the facility, the size of the Fund and its anticipated draws, and the potential importance of such draws to the operations and well-being of the Fund, relative to those of the other Funds. A Fund may effect draws on the facility in excess of its designated capacity if and to the extent that other Participating Funds have undrawn capacity. The credit facility expires in June 2020 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 1.00% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.00% 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 Op-
99


Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
erations, 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.
None of the Funds utilized this facility during the current fiscal period.

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.
102


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-Refunding: Pre-Refunding, also known as advanced refundings or refinancings, is a procedure used by state and local governments to refinance municipal bonds to lower interest expenses. The issuer sells new bonds with a lower yield and uses the proceeds to buy U.S. Treasury securities, the interest from which is used to make payments on the higher-yielding bonds. Because of this collateral, pre-refunding generally raises a bond’s credit rating and thus its value.
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.
