Chair’s Letter to Shareholders    
Dear Shareholders,
As 2020 draws to a close, the concerns that dominated much of the year are beginning to show signs of easing. COVID-19 vaccines are being administered around the world, with several of the vaccine candidates announcing high efficacy rates during their phase 3 trials. Markets took a generally positive view of Joe Biden winning the Electoral College, with Congress’s final confirmation of the Electoral College vote on January 7, 2021. The U.S. economy has made a significant, although incomplete, turnaround from the depths of a historic recession. In late December, the U.S. government enacted another $900 billion in aid to individuals and businesses, extending some of the programs enacted earlier in the crisis. Ongoing fiscal and monetary stimulus along with widening vaccine distribution have bolstered confidence that a semblance of normalcy can return in 2021.
While the markets’ longer-term outlook has brightened, we expect intermittent bouts of volatility to continue into the New Year. COVID-19 cases are still alarmingly high in some regions, and the renewed restrictions on social and business activity taken by local and, in some cases, national authorities will undoubtedly hinder the economy’s momentum. The pandemic’s course can still be unpredictable. The timeline of vaccine rollouts depends on many variables, public confidence can shift and real-world efficacy remains to be seen. Additionally, after Democrats won both of Georgia’s Senate run-off elections, which provided them with a democratic majority (the Democratic Vice President-elect casts the tie breaking vote in a 50/50 split Senate), this changing political landscape may cause investment outlooks to shift. Nevertheless, short-term market fluctuations can provide opportunities to invest in new ideas as well as upgrade existing positioning, within our goal of providing long-term value for our shareholders.
The New Year can be an opportune time to assess your portfolio’s resilience and readiness for what may come next. We encourage you to review your time horizon, risk tolerance and investment goals with your financial professional. 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, 2021

An Update on COVID-19 Coronavirus and its Impact on the Securities Markets
Renewed COVID-19 coronavirus outbreaks across the U.S. and Europe prompted tightening COVID-19 restrictions at the local and, in some cases, national levels during the fall of 2020, weighing on short-term economic indicators. Additionally, certain government programs supporting businesses and workers are expiring with little clarity on extensions or replacement options. In late December 2020 (subsequent to the close of this reporting period), the U.S. government approved a $900 billion relief package. In November 2020, three vaccine trials announced successful results, paving the way for selective distribution at year end 2020 and inoculation of the wider public during 2021.
Markets rallied on optimism for normalization in daily life and in the economy, furthering the recovery from the March 2020 sell-off. Although the detection of the virus in China was made public in December 2019, markets did not start to fully acknowledge the risks and potential economic impact until the latter portion of February 2020, when outbreaks outside of China were first reported. Global stock markets sold off severely, with the S&P 500® index reaching a bear market (a 20% drop from the previous high) within three weeks, the fastest bear market decline in history. Even certain parts of the bond market suffered; below investment grade municipal and corporate bonds generally dropped the furthest, mostly out of concerns for the continued financial stability of lower quality issuers. Demand for safe-haven assets, along with mounting recession fears, drove the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note to 0.5% in March 2020, an all-time low. Additionally, oil prices collapsed to an 18-year low on supply glut concerns, as shutdowns across the global economy sharply reduced oil demand, although oil prices have recovered to well above those lows.
While most markets have recovered most of their losses, volatility will likely remain elevated until the health crisis itself is under control (via fewer new cases, lower infection rates and/or verified treatments or widespread vaccination). The situation remains fluid, given production and logistical challenges with rolling out the vaccine as well as public trust in it, and new information is incoming daily, compounding the difficulty of modeling outcomes for epidemiologists and economists alike.

Portfolio Managers' Comments (continued)
Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC, and our portfolio management teams are monitoring the situation carefully and continuously refining our views and approaches to managing the Funds to best pursue investment objectives while mitigating risks through all market environments.
How did the Funds perform during the six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2020?
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 each share class of the Fund for the period ended November 30, 2020. Each Fund’s Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) are compared with the performance of its corresponding benchmark and Lipper classification average.
During the reporting period, the Class A Shares at NAV of the Nuveen Minnesota Municipal Bond Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index, while the Class A Shares at NAV of the Nuveen Nebraska Municipal Bond Fund underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index. The Class A Shares at NAV of the Nuveen Minnesota Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index, while the Nuveen Oregon Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund trailed this performance measure. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Intermediate, Minnesota and Oregon Intermediate Funds outperformed their respective Lipper classification averages to varying degrees, while the Nebraska Fund underperformed its Lipper classification average.
What strategies were used to manage the Funds and how did these strategies influence performance during the six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2020?
Each Fund’s investment objective is to provide as high a level of current interest income exempt from regular federal, state and, in some cases, local income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital.
Below we highlight the specific factors influencing each Fund’s investment strategy, as well as how we managed each portfolio in light of recent market conditions.
Nuveen Minnesota Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund
The Class A Shares of the Nuveen Minnesota Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index for the six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2020.
The Fund's performance benefited from its credit quality positioning. Unlike during the weak market environment earlier in 2020, credit spreads narrowed during this reporting period, meaning that lower rated bonds outperformed their higher quality counterparts. In this environment, the Fund benefited from its overweightings and individual holdings in the market’s A rated credit quality tier, as well as in the non-rated market segment.
On a sector basis, the Fund benefited from its overweighting in health care bonds, both senior housing and hospital issues, as these categories recovered some of the value they lost earlier in 2020 amid market weakness. Similarly, as charter school bonds bounced back over these past six months, the Fund’s exposure to that sector added value. Also contributing to relative performance was the Fund’s slight overweighting in airport bonds, as well as underweightings in state general obligation and utility bonds, that lagged the marketplace during the reporting period.
One modest detractor from relative performance was the Fund’s underweighting in the industrial development revenue (IDR) bond sector. IDR bonds tend to be scarce in the Minnesota municipal marketplace.
Overall, the Fund’s duration (interest rate) positioning had a mixed impact on relative performance. Although the Fund benefited from an overweighting in bonds with effective durations of between six and ten years, a corresponding overweighting in the market’s very shortest duration bonds was a negative factor for performance.

Despite a recent increase in the supply of Minnesota tax-exempt debt, bonds available for purchase during the reporting period generally lacked the Fund's desired characteristics. Specifically, many of the available securities tended to be priced near par and offer very low coupons, both qualities that would make the bonds more vulnerable should municipal yields rise. Also, premium coupon bonds were generally higher in credit quality and offered minimal yield spread (and therefore minimal opportunity for credit spread compression).
It was an unusually challenging reporting period in which to reinvest available proceeds into the Minnesota municipal bond marketplace. Given the issuance landscape, minimal changes were made to the Fund’s sector and credit weightings, with an exception for modest increases in the Fund’s exposure to general obligation and higher quality debt.
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, 2020.
Favorable duration (interest rate) and yield curve positioning helped drive the Fund’s outperformance relative to the index. For this six-month reporting period, municipal bond yields generally fell, except on the shortest maturities, which resulted in a flattening yield curve. In this environment, the Fund’s greater interest rate sensitivity, including an overweighting of longer dated issues, contributed to relative performance.
The Fund’s credit quality positioning also added value. Reversing a trend from the prior six months, credit spreads narrowed during this reporting period, meaning that lower rated bonds outperformed as investors proved increasingly comfortable accepting credit risk. Against this backdrop, the Fund’s overweightings and individual investments in the A, BB and non-rated credit market segments were positive performance factors on a relative basis.
In sector terms, the Fund materially benefited from an overweighting in health care bonds, including those of hospital and senior housing issuers. As investor comfort levels improved concerning the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on health care facilities, bonds in this sector staged a meaningful rebound.
Similarly, charter school bonds also recovered somewhat from a difficult stretch of performance prior to this reporting period. The Fund’s exposure to this category thus generated favorable results. Modest underweightings in general obligation (GO) bonds (particularly Minnesota state GOs, rather than local GOs) and utility debt also contributed to performance.
One detractor from the Fund’s relative performance, however, was an underweighting in transaction tax-backed bonds (such as sales-tax and excise tax bonds), given these securities’ relative outperformance. The Fund’s underweighting in this category stemmed from limited availability of these security types in the Minnesota municipal bond marketplace. Similarly, industrial development revenue bonds are regularly in short supply in Minnesota, making the Fund’s limited exposure here an additional negative performance factor, given the sector’s overall outperformance.
Although the supply of Minnesota municipal bonds was elevated during this reporting period compared to in the recent past, the available bonds often lacked the characteristics that the portfolio managers typically seek when considering securities for investment. As an example, many of the new issues that came to market tended to be structured with very low coupons and dollar prices near par, characteristics that may be unfavorable should yields rise. Bonds structured with premium coupons tended to be very high quality and offer little or no yield spread. This reporting period was one of the more challenging of recent memory for putting money to work in the Minnesota municipal marketplace.
Against this relatively difficult backdrop, the Fund purchased more bonds than usual in the intermediate and longer intermediate part of the yield curve, as these often represented the best opportunities available at times the Fund had money requiring investment. Despite the supply constraints, the Fund’s sector and credit exposures remained generally consistent.

Portfolio Managers' Comments (continued)
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, 2020.
Credit quality positioning was a major driver of relative underperformance. During the reporting period, lower quality issues, which make up a smaller part of the Nebraska market than the index, recovered more quickly from severe market volatility in March 2020. This volatility reflected investors’ growing appetite for higher yielding bonds in a low yield environment.
Specifically, the Fund’s underweight in bonds rated BBB and below detracted from performance, as these lower quality tiers outperformed the index. Among higher rated segments, an overweight in AA rated credits hurt performance because these bonds lagged. Conversely, the Fund’s underweight in AAA rated bonds, the market’s highest quality and weakest performing credit tier, modestly contributed, while an overweight in the outperforming A rated credit bond category also slightly added value.
Sector selection also detracted from relative performance, especially the Fund’s larger-than-index allocation to the local general obligation and utility sectors. Both were higher quality segments that posted below average gains. Additionally, the Fund’s underweight in the tax-allocation sector also hurt, given the segment’s relative outperformance.
Duration (interest rate) and yield curve positioning added considerable value. Rates declined overall during the reporting period and the Fund’s duration was longer than that of the index. This situation enabled the Fund to capture more of the beneficial effects of declining interest rates. From a yield curve standpoint, the Fund’s emphasis on bonds with effective durations of eight years and longer helped. As interest rates declined, these securities outpaced shorter-term securities, in which the portfolio was underweight.
Individual security selection also contributed to performance. Holding certain longer duration, lower rated bonds helped the Fund, reflecting outsized investor demand for these types of securities. The Fund’s position in Ohio tobacco bonds rebounded strongly from its March 2020 low. The Fund also saw good results from securities issued by Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corp., known as COFINA bonds and from water bonds issued by Guam. Like all debt issued by U.S. territories, Puerto Rico and Guam securities may include exemptions from most federal, state and local taxes.
Throughout the reporting period, the Fund received significant shareholder inflows. Along with proceeds from called and matured securities, these inflows provided ample funds for management to purchase new bonds. Additions to the Fund included Nebraska bonds across various sectors, highlighted by utilities, local general obligation and higher education, which were focused on longer duration debt.
To keep the Fund invested while taking advantage of value outside the Nebraska marketplace, the Fund invested in bonds from certain sectors that could benefit from a subsiding COVID-19 crisis. Notable out-of-state purchases during this reporting period included hospital bonds issued in Arizona and Indiana, as well as Massachusetts state general obligation securities. In all of these cases, the portfolio manager favored bonds seen as offering enough yield to compensate for the lack of a tax advantage for Nebraska residents.
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, 2020.
Security selection was the key factor driving this underperformance. Largely reflecting limited availability of lower quality, longer duration securities in the Oregon municipal marketplace. Such bonds were relative outperformers this reporting period, so the Fund’s natural underweight in these issues detracted from performance.
The Fund’s exposure to bonds rated BBB (the lowest tier of the investment grade bond universe) and below investment grade roughly matched that of the index. However, the Fund’s holdings in these credit tiers tended to be shorter in duration (meaning less sensitive to falling interest rates), again reflecting the characteristics of the Oregon intermediate municipal marketplace. This shorter duration focus proved detrimental as interest rates declined and helped more rate sensitive securities.
8


Additionally, the Fund’s overweight in AA rated credit securities hurt performance, as bonds in this credit tier collectively lagged the market. These negatives, however, were somewhat offset by a helpful underweight to AAA rated credit securities. Overall, the higher rated bonds produced the smallest gain.
Meanwhile, duration and yield curve positioning contributed to relative performance. By maintaining a longer duration than the index, the portfolio captured more of the positive effects of an overall decline in interest rates. The Fund’s larger-than-index exposure to bonds with effective durations of six to ten years and corresponding underweight in securities with durations of two to four years proved helpful, as longer rates fell more than shorter rates.
In terms of sector exposure, an overweight in the hospital sector added value, as the sector strongly rallied during this reporting period from its March 2020 lows. In contrast, an underweight in transportation bonds, another sector that sharply rebounded from low levels due to the COVID-19 crisis related spring sell-off, detracted from results.
The Fund received significant shareholder inflows during the reporting period. This trend reflected pent-up demand for municipal bonds following the market’s first-quarter 2020 downturn, as well as investors’ view of tax-exempt debt as a relative safe haven during highly volatile market conditions. With these inflows, and the proceeds from bond maturities and calls, the Fund was actively purchasing bonds across the Oregon municipal bond market.
Purchases occurred in a variety of sectors, including health care, transportation and charter schools. Typically, these additions were focused on bonds with higher yields, reflecting their somewhat longer durations and lower credit ratings. Notable purchases included bonds from Clackamas County for Rose Villa, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC), and Port of Portland airport bonds. Management also added to the Fund’s existing position in Puerto Rico sales tax bonds (known as COFINAs), given that they, too, offered comparatively attractive yields. Like all debt issued by U.S. territories, COFINA bonds may include exemption from most federal, state and local taxes.

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 the Fund’s distributions for the reporting period are presented in this report’s Financial Highlights. For income tax purposes, distribution information for the 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.
Fund Performance
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 (i.e. cumulative returns). Since inception returns are shown for share classes that have less than 10-years of performance. 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.
Expense Ratios
The expense ratios shown are as of the Fund's most recent prospectus. The expense ratios shown reflect total operating expenses (before fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any). The expense ratios include management fees and other fees and expenses.
Effective Leverage Ratios
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, 2020
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. Unsubsidized yields do not reflect waivers and/or reimbursements from the investment adviser during the period. Refer to the Notes to Financial Statements, Note 7  –  Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates for further details on the investment adviser’s most recent agreement with the Fund to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses, where applicable. Dividend Yield may differ from the SEC 30-Day Yield because the fund may be paying out more or less than it is earning and it may not include the effect of amortization of bond premium.
The Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an after-tax basis at 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.
2         The Taxable-Equivalent Yield is based on the Fund’s SEC 30-Day Yield on the indicated date and a combined federal and state income tax rate shown in the respective table above.

Expense Examples    
As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including up-front and back-end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees, where applicable; and other Fund expenses. The Examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Examples below do not include the interest and related expenses from inverse floaters that are reflected in the financial statements later within this report, when applicable.
The Examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the period ended November 30, 2020.
The beginning of the period is June 1, 2020.
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.

(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) Defaulted security. A security whose issuer has failed to fully pay principal and/or interest when due, or is under the protection of bankruptcy.  
(5) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest.  
(6) 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.  
AMT Alternative Minimum Tax  
WI/DD Purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets.  
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns.  
(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) Defaulted security. A security whose issuer has failed to fully pay principal and/or interest when due, or is under the protection of bankruptcy.  
(5) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest.  
(6) 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.

(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.

(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.  
(5) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest.

Notes to Financial Statements    
(Unaudited)
1.  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 (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, 2020, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the six months ended November 30, 2020 (the "current fiscal period”).
Investment Adviser and Sub-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. 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. 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 existing accounts, but Class C1 Shares can be issued for purposes of dividend reinvestment. Class C1 Shares were sold without an up-front sales charge. 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 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.
Other Matters
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and subsequent global pandemic began significantly impacting the U.S. and global financial markets and economies during the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2020. The worldwide spread of COVID-19 has created significant uncertainty in the global economy. The duration and extent of COVID-19 over the long term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 and the extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Funds' normal course of business, results of operations, investments, and cash flows will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. Management continues to monitor and evaluate this situation.
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 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.
96


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.
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 is recorded on an accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums for financial reporting purposes. 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 value of the settled shares of each class. Expenses directly attributable to a class of shares are recorded to the specific class. 12b-1 distribution and service fees are allocated on a class-specific basis.
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
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The main objective of the new guidance is to provide relief to companies that will be impacted by the expected change in benchmark interest rates at the end of 2021, when participating banks will no longer be required to submit London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) quotes by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The new guidance allows companies to, provided the only changes to existing contracts are a change to an approved benchmark interest rate, account for modifications as a continuance of the existing contract without additional analysis. For new and existing contracts, the Funds may elect to apply the optional expedients as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has not yet elected to apply the optional expedients, but is currently assessing the impact of the ASU’s adoption to the Funds' financial statements and various filings.
3.  Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
The Funds' investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value utilizing valuation methods approved by the Board. 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. U.S. GAAP establishes the three-tier hierarchy which 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
97


Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect management’s 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.).
Level 3  –     Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major classifications of assets and liabilities measured at fair value follows:
Prices of fixed-income securities are generally 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. 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.
Any portfolio security or derivative for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. 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. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they would be classified as Level 3.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Funds' investments as of the end of the reporting period, based on the inputs used to value them:

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.

The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may have extended settlement periods; interest income is not accrued until settlement date. Any securities 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. If a Fund has outstanding when-issued/delayed-delivery purchases commitments as of the end of the reporting period, such amounts are recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Investments in Derivatives
In addition to the inverse floating rate securities in which each Fund may invest, which are considered portfolio securities for financial reporting purposes, each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments. The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds' investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes.
Although the Funds are authorized to invest in derivative instruments, and may do so in the future, they did not make any such investments during the current fiscal period.
Market and Counterparty Credit Risk
In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount.

6.  Income Tax Information
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and designated state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally 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.
102


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, 2020.

Permanent differences, primarily due to taxes paid and return of capital distributions, resulted in reclassifications among the Funds' components of net assets as of May 31, 2020, 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, 2020, 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.
103


Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
Each Fund’s management fee consists of two components  –  a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within each individual Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables each Fund’s shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated according to the following schedule:
Average Daily Net Assets 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, 2020, the complex-level fee for each Fund was as follows:
Fund Complex-Level Fee
Minnesota Intermediate 0.1765%
Minnesota 0.1653%
Nebraska 0.1694%
Oregon Intermediate 0.1782%
104


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, 2022
Distribution and Service Fees
Each Fund has adopted a distribution and service plan under rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class A Shares incur a 0.20% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class C Shares incur a 0.75% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a 0.25% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class C1 Shares incur a 0.40% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a 0.25% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class C2 Shares incur a 0.55% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a 0.20% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class I Shares are not subject to 12b-1 distribution or service fees. The fees under this plan compensate Nuveen Securities, LLC, (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen, for services provided and expenses incurred in distributing shares of the Funds and establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts.
Other Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other funds or accounts managed by the Sub-Adviser (“Affiliated Entity”) under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board ("cross-trade"). These procedures have been designed to ensure that any cross-trade of securities by the Fund from or to an Affiliated Entity by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment adviser), common officer and/or common trustee complies with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. These transactions are effected at the current market price (as provided by an independent pricing service) without incurring broker commissions.
During the current fiscal period, the following Funds engaged in cross-trades pursuant to these procedures as follows:
Cross-Trades Minnesota
Intermediate
Minnesota
Purchases $1,022,814 $3,985,800

Paid to financial intermediaries 113,166 260,553 94,398 38,123
The Distributor also received 12b-1 service fees on Class A Shares, substantially all of which were paid to compensate financial intermediaries for providing services to shareholders relating to their investments.
During the current fiscal period, the Distributor compensated financial intermediaries directly with commission advances at the time of purchase as follows:
  Minnesota

Commission advances $105,373 $202,423 $72,225 $46,200
To compensate for commissions advanced to financial intermediaries, all 12b-1 service and distribution fees collected on Class C and Class C2 Shares during the first year following a purchase are retained by the Distributor. During the current fiscal period, the Distributor retained such 12b-1 fees as follows:

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, $2.405 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 2021 unless extended or renewed.
The credit facility has the following terms: a 0.10% upfront fee, 0.15% per annum on unused commitment amounts and a drawn interest rate equal to the higher of (a) one-month LIBOR (London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) plus 1.25% (1.00% prior to June 24, 2020) per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.25% (1.00% prior to June 24, 2020) 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.
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.

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-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.
