Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders

 

LOGO

 

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to have this opportunity to introduce myself to you as the new independent chairman of the Nuveen Fund Board, effective July 1, 2013. I am honored to have been selected as chairman, with its primary responsibility to serve the interests of the Nuveen Fund shareholders. My predecessor, Robert Bremner, was the first independent director to serve as chairman of the Board and I, and my fellow Board members, plan to continue his legacy of strong independent oversight of your funds.

The global economy has hit major turning points over the last several months to a year. The developed world is gradually recovering from its financial crisis while the emerging markets appear to be struggling with the downshift of China’s growth potential. Japan is entering a new era of growth after decades of economic stagnation and many of the Eurozone nations appear to be exiting their recession. Despite the positive events, there are still potential risks. Middle East tensions, rising oil prices, defaults in Europe and fallout from the financial stress in emerging markets could all reverse the recent progress in the global economy.

On the domestic front, recent events such as the Federal Reserve decision to slow down its bond buying program beginning in January of 2014 and the federal budget compromise that would guide government spending into 2015 are both positives for the economy moving forward. Corporate fundamentals are strong as earnings per share and corporate cash are at the highest level in two decades. Unemployment is trending down and the housing market has experienced a rebound, each assisting the positive economic scenario. However, there are some issues to be watched. Interest rates are expected to increase but significant uncertainty about the timing remains. Partisan politics in Washington D.C. with their troublesome outcomes add to the uncertainties that could cause problems for the economy going forward.

In the near term, governments are focused on economic recovery and the growth of their economies, which could lead to an environment of attractive investment opportunities. Over the long term, the uncertainties mentioned earlier could hinder the potential growth. Because of this, Nuveen’s investment management teams work hard to balance return and risk with a range of investment strategies. I encourage you to read the following commentary on the management of your fund.

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,

These Funds feature portfolio management by Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, an affiliate of Nuveen Investments, Inc. Portfolio managers Daniel J. Close, CFA, Steven M. Hlavin and Christopher L. Drahn review key investment strategies and the performance of the Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund. Dan has managed the Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio Funds since 2007, Steve has managed the Kansas and Wisconsin Funds since 2011, and Chris has managed the Missouri Fund since 2011.

How did the Funds perform during the six-month reporting period ending November 30, 2013?

The tables in the Fund Performance, Expense and Effective Leverage Ratios section of this report provide each Fund’s total return performance information for its Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) for the six-month, one-year, five-year and ten-year periods ending November 30, 2013. Each Fund’s returns are compared with the performance of a corresponding market index and its and Lipper classification average.

During the first part of this reporting period, widespread uncertainty about the next step for the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) quantitative easing program and the potential impact on the economy and financial markets led to increased market volatility. After surprising the market in September 2013 with its decision to wait for additional evidence of an improving economy before making any adjustments to the program, the Fed announced on December 18 (subsequent to the close of this reporting period) that it would begin tapering its monthly bond-buying program by $10 billion (to $75 billion) in January 2014. Political debate over federal spending and headline credit stories involving Detroit and Puerto Rico also contributed to the unsettled environment during this period and prompted an increase in selling by bondholders across the fixed income markets. Although the second half of the period brought some stabilization and a rally in the municipal market, municipal bond prices generally declined for the period as a whole, especially at the longer end of the maturity spectrum, while interest rates rose. During this time, we continued to take a bottom-up approach to discovering sectors that appeared undervalued as well as individual credits that had the potential to perform well over the long term and helped us keep our Funds fully invested.

During the six-month period, the Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) of all six Funds underperformed the benchmark S&P Municipal Bond Index. The Kentucky, Michigan, and Missouri Funds outperformed their respective Lipper

classification average, while the Kansas and Wisconsin Funds underperformed and the Ohio Fund performed roughly in line. Shareholders should note that the performance of the Lipper Other States classification represents the overall average of returns for funds from multiple states with a wide variety of municipal market conditions, making direct comparisons less meaningful.

What strategies were used to manage the Funds during the six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2013? How did these strategies influence performance?

All of the Funds continued to employ the same fundamental investment strategies and tactics long relied upon by Nuveen Asset Management. Our municipal bond portfolios are managed with a value-oriented approach and close input from Nuveen Asset Management’s research team. Below we highlight the specific factors influencing each Fund’s investment strategy, as well as how we managed each portfolio in light of recent market conditions.

Nuveen Kansas and Wisconsin Municipal Bond Funds

The Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund lagged the S&P Municipal Bond Index during the six-month reporting period, with duration and credit quality positioning the primary factors behind the Fund’s underperformance.

Having a longer duration than the index meant the Fund was more sensitive to rising interest rates. It is worth noting that durations of both the Fund and the index naturally increased in response to higher rates. Furthermore, the Fund was overweight longer term bonds compared with the index, which further curtailed the Fund’s ability to keep pace with the benchmark. As interest rates climbed, the yield curve steepened, meaning that yields on longer term bonds significantly rose and disproportionately more so than yields on shorter-term bonds. This “bear market steepening” is rare, having occurred in only two other quarters since the 1980s.

Recognizing that longer term municipal bonds had suffered to a greater extent, we were hesitant to reduce the Fund’s duration. Had we overreacted to this short term market dislocation, we would have locked in duration-driven losses. Instead, we wanted to preserve the Fund’s ability to participate in a municipal market recovery, which it did in the final months of the period, as rates declined.

The Fund’s credit quality positioning, a relatively large overweighting in BBB-rated bonds detracted from performance versus the index, although this performance impact was skewed by the large negative performance of Puerto Rico bonds compared to other BBB-rated bonds in the market. Nearly all the negative contribution from rating allocation was offset by the positive contribution from credit selection, including the Fund’s Puerto Rico holdings. During the reporting period, we reduced our exposure to Puerto Rico debt, which made up roughly 6% of net assets at the end of the reporting period, down from approximately 9% six months earlier. While these sales tempered the negative impact of our allocation to the territorial issues, our weighting in Puerto Rico nevertheless detracted from the Fund’s results in relative terms. The reduction in the Fund’s Puerto Rico stake in BBB-rated bonds also helps explain why the portfolio allocation to this quality tier declined during the reporting period.

Sector selection provided mixed results, with our overweight in the utility sector, one of the poorest performing groups in the municipal bond market, proving to be a negative factor while an overweight in health care, one of the market’s better performing sectors contributed positively to performance. In addition, the Fund’s selection of health care holdings outpaced similar securities in the index.

The Fund mirrored the overall municipal bond market, in that it incurred investor outflows. In order to meet shareholder redemptions, we took advantage of pockets of strong investor demand to sell some high rated bonds with coupons

 

  6       Nuveen Investments


that were below prevailing rates. Although our purchases were limited during the reporting period, we did find some attractive opportunities in the new issue market that carried higher coupons and allowed us to further diversify the Fund’s holdings across issuers.

Similar to the Kansas Fund, the Wisconsin Fund underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index during the reporting period, with the Fund’s duration and credit quality positioning the biggest detractors. Compared with the index, the Fund had a longer duration, meaning it was more sensitive to interest rate changes and, as such, hurt more as rates rose. We note that durations of both the Fund and the index naturally increased in response to higher rates. Additionally, the Fund’s overweight to longer term bonds compared with the index further hampered its relative results. As interest rates rose, the yield curve steepened, meaning that yields on longer term bonds rose far more than those on shorter term bonds, resulting in significant underperformance of longer term securities.

Based on our analysis indicating that longer term municipal bonds were undervalued, we refrained from altering our longer-than-benchmark duration stance and maintained our overweighting in longer term bonds. These decisions proved beneficial in the final months of the reporting period, when the municipal market recovered and rates declined.

As for the Fund’s credit quality positioning, a relatively large overweighting in BBB bonds detracted from performance versus the index. Much of this quality driven underperformance resulted from the Fund’s allocation to BBB-rated Puerto Rico bonds, which came under considerable pressure during the reporting period. Given the extreme scarcity of Wisconsin bonds in previous years, tax-free debt in the state traded at what we believed were unattractive prices. At the same time, we had sometimes found that bonds issued in the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands had been more attractively valued, which were sources of diversification for the Fund and helped enhance its income.

During the reporting period, however, we reduced our exposure to Puerto Rico bonds, which made up roughly 8% of net assets at the end of the reporting period, down from approximately 19% six months earlier, as we began to grow concerned about an erosion of liquidity and the resulting impact on trading valuations despite a number of positive credit developments. Shareholder redemptions reduced the need for triple-exempt territory paper. Although these sales tempered the negative performance impact of our Puerto Rico allocation, our weighting there nevertheless detracted from results in relative terms. The sale of Puerto Rico securities, many BBB-rated, resulted in a decline in the Fund’s exposure to bonds with that credit rating.

The Fund’s sector positioning had a mixed effect on relative performance. Compared to the national market, this portfolio was overweight in dedicated-tax bonds, one of the best-performing groups. In contrast, our overweight in utilities curtailed results because this group lagged the benchmark. Security selection had a negative effect on relative performance, primarily due to our exposure to inverse floating rate securities (known as inverse floaters). These bonds, whose coupon payments adjust inversely as interest rates change, produced disappointing results as rates climbed.

In addition to sales of Puerto Rico bonds, we also sold some lower coupon Wisconsin bonds, taking advantage of comparatively strong demand for these securities. Our new portfolio additions during the reporting period were focused on new issues which, given their higher coupons, helped enhance the Fund’s yield and further diversify its holdings.

Nuveen Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio Municipal Bond Funds

The Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index, as the Fund’s results were limited on a relative basis by unfavorable duration positioning, which heightened the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Specifically, the Fund was underweighted in shorter duration bonds, which were less influenced by the

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)

 

negative effects of rising interest rates than their longer dated counterparts. In addition, the Fund had exposure to inverse floating rate securities. These bonds see their coupon income decline when rates go up, and therefore, they lagged during the reporting period.

During a six-month span characterized by considerable risk aversion on the part of investors, bonds with higher credit ratings tended to outperform lower rated securities. This trend modestly hampered results, given our slight overweighting in BBB-rated bonds.

Our sector positioning added value, with the greatest benefit coming from the health care sector. Tempering this advantage, however, was an overweighting in dedicated-tax bonds, which trailed the market and therefore detracted from results. The Fund’s exposure to Puerto Rico bonds, which struggled amid the U.S. territory’s credit challenges, was an additional drawback. Coming into the period, about 7% of the portfolio was held in Puerto Rico bonds. (A portion of this stake, however, was invested in pre-refunded bonds, whose very high credit quality and short maturities insulated them from the region’s troubles.) Our holdings in long dated zero coupon Puerto Rico tobacco-securitization bonds and Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (COFINA) sales tax bonds experienced significant price declines. By the early fall, we had nearly liquidated the Fund’s entire Puerto Rico stake.

In managing the portfolio, we focused on generating the proceeds needed to satisfy investment outflows, which were predominant within the entire municipal bond industry as well as the Fund. Some of the necessary financing was supplied by bond calls. We also sold various pre-refunded bonds from the portfolio, given that the securities’ relatively short maturities and high credit quality made them very liquid amid challenging market conditions. The continued theme behind our selling was to actively reduce exposure to territorial bonds. As previously mentioned, we sold various Puerto Rico securities, including Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority bonds, Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority bonds, COFINA sales-tax issues and zero coupon tobacco-securitization debt. We held only a small allocation of these positions at period end, and were preparing to sell most of our holdings. We also sold most of our holdings in Guam and U.S. Virgin Islands debt. Faced with a choice between selling Kentucky bonds or territorial securities, we selected the latter because we wanted to maintain increased exposure to in-state paper, especially in light of the fact that we believed Kentucky bonds would be more difficult to replace if market conditions shifted in favor of investment inflows. During the reporting period, we reduced the portfolio’s Guam weighting from approximately 5% at the start of the period to 0.5% at its end, while our Virgin Islands allocation declined from 1.1% of the portfolio to 0.5% at the end of the reporting period.

While we were much more active on the selling side, our notable purchases included a new health care bond issue for Catholic Health Initiatives. Because the Fund lacked prior exposure to these securities, the purchase provided valuable additional diversification. Other purchases included two electric utility bond issues and bonds of the University of Louisville.

The Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index, in part because of the portfolio’s duration stance. The Fund was underweighted in short duration investments, which hurt performance in relative terms because these bonds are less sensitive to interest rate changes and therefore fared better than their longer dated counterparts during the reporting period. In particular, the portfolio’s allocation to inverse floaters hurt, as their long durations made them especially vulnerable to higher rates.

In contrast, the Fund’s credit quality and sector positioning proved beneficial. From a ratings standpoint, the Fund was overweighted in AA-rated bonds while underweighted in BBB-rated bonds. Both stances were helpful, given that higher rated credits outperformed lower rated securities amid an environment of heightened risk aversion on the part of

 

  8       Nuveen Investments


investors. Meanwhile, on a sector basis, the Fund’s overweighting in pre-refunded bonds added to results. This category, which consists of debt with very short durations and very high credit quality, was the only segment in the benchmark to generate positive performance during the difficult six month reporting period. Mitigating that positive impact, however, was our relative underweighting in higher education bonds, a category that marginally outperformed the index.

The period’s two major credit challenges involved Detroit, which filed for bankruptcy in July 2013 and U.S. territory Puerto Rico. We were fortunate to have very little exposure to Puerto Rico debt and no exposure in Detroit general obligation (GO) bonds. While the Fund entered the period with a 2% Puerto Rico stake, much of that was held in a pre-refunded bond issue backed by escrowed U.S. government securities. We sold this position during the reporting period, as well as our small holding in Puerto Rico tobacco-securitization debt. At period end, the Fund was 100% invested in Michigan bonds.

While we purposely avoided Detroit GO bonds, we continued to own and, occasionally, bought new bonds of issuers that investors perceived as having a connection to the city’s credit troubles, but which we determined were likely to withstand Detroit’s bankruptcy proceedings with no interruption in their income payments. We maintained the Fund’s stake in Detroit water/sewer bonds, which are backed by a dedicated revenue stream and are independent of the city’s general taxing authority. We also purchased AA-rated Detroit City School District bonds, which, under the School Bond Qualification and Loan Fund, are backed by the full faith and credit of the State of Michigan and some Wayne County (Detroit) airport bonds. In all of these cases, we had confidence in the issuers’ credit quality and believed the bonds were trading at unusually attractive prices, enabling us to add good long term value.

Although we made a few new purchases, the majority of our transactions involved selling bonds to generate the proceeds needed to fund investment outflows. We sold some of the Fund’s pre-refunded debt, as appropriate, because these bonds provided a ready source of liquidity. We also fully eliminated the portfolio’s territorial bond holdings, selling our Guam and U.S. Virgin Islands positions in addition to our Puerto Rico allocation. The remainder of our sales took place across multiple maturity ranges, economic sectors and credit quality segments. This tactic reflected our desire to preserve the portfolio’s essential characteristics, since we liked the Fund’s structure going into the reporting period and were careful to maintain it despite our selling activity.

The Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund, which underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index, was held back by its duration positioning as well. In addition to being underweighted in short term bonds, which outperformed the market, the Fund was overweighted in longer duration issues, which struggled amid difficult market conditions.

From a credit-rating standpoint, the Fund was helped by an overweighting in AA-rated bonds, as higher quality securities generally outperformed lower rated issues during the reporting period. Counterbalancing that positive impact, however, was an allocation to B-rated bonds, which consisted of a single underperforming issue, Buckeye Tobacco Settlement Financing Authority bonds.

Other underperformers that hurt results included inverse floaters, which suffered disproportionately in the face of rising interest rates and zero coupon Puerto Rico COFINA sales-tax bonds. These latter credits were hurt by a combination of their long duration and investors’ mounting concerns about the U.S. territory’s credit quality.

Our purchase activity was relatively limited during the reporting period and consisted of three new health care bonds and a corporate-backed industrial development revenue bond issue for CSX Corporation. We also participated in a very large new bond issue for the Ohio Turnpike over the summer.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)

 

In terms of bond sales, we actively reduced exposure to U.S. territorial paper, which we saw as a good source of liquidity to satisfy the shareholder redemptions that proliferated during the six month reporting period. We completely eliminated the Fund’s Puerto Rico allocation, and we trimmed our exposure to Guam bonds, which made up just over 1% of the portfolio at period end. (Bonds issued by U.S. territories are tax-exempt for investors in all 50 states.) We also sold certain pre-refunded and lower coupon bonds.

Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund

During the six-month reporting period, the Missouri Municipal Bond Fund underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index. The bulk of the Fund’s underperformance stemmed from its longer duration, meaning it was more sensitive to interest rate changes than the benchmark, hampering its ability to keep up with the index as interest rates rose. The Fund’s longer overall duration was due to its overweight in long duration bonds, which underperformed shorter duration securities, in which we had an underweight. This yield curve positioning detracted from relative results given that longer term bonds suffered disproportionately as rates climbed.

It is noteworthy that the durations of the Fund and the benchmark extended during the reporting period, as tends to happen when rates are increasing. In light of our commitment to maintaining the Fund’s income stream and also based on our analysis that longer term bonds were undervalued, we were hesitant to sell many long duration bonds or shorten the portfolio’s duration, a strategy that ultimately added to relative performance late in the reporting period, when rates drifted lower.

Overall, credit quality positioning, sector positioning and security selection were mostly neutral factors for relative performance. However, the Fund’s exposure to Puerto Rico bonds, which are free from income taxes nationwide, was a negative. Puerto Rico holdings performed poorly, especially those with longer maturities. During the reporting period, we reduced our exposure to Puerto Rico debt to just over 3%, down from slightly under 6% six months earlier.

As with the municipal bond mutual funds market, the Fund experienced shareholder redemptions, requiring us to sell some securities. On some occasions, we were able to take advantage of pockets of strong demand by individual investors to sell securities that were structured in a specific manner. For instance, we sold some bonds with lower or below market coupons at prices we believed were advantageous. We also frequently sold very short maturity holdings or utilized proceeds from called or maturing bonds.

Although our transaction activity was weighted toward the sell side, we made some notable purchases and added a number of higher coupon bonds. In doing so, our goal was to enhance the Fund’s income stream. We also participated in the new-issue market, buying securities across the investment grade ratings spectrum whose yields were typically higher than we had previously seen for comparable securities in several years. In this category, we added names such as Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District, Bi-State Development Agency, University of Central Missouri and St. Louis College of Pharmacy.

An Update Regarding Detroit and Puerto Rico

During this reporting period, two credit situations weighed on the municipal market. It is important to note that, while these situations received much attention from the media, they represented isolated events. On July 18, 2013, the City of Detroit filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy. Detroit, burdened by decades of population loss, declines in the auto manufacturing industry, and significant tax base deterioration, has been under severe financial stress for an extended period. Detroit’s bankruptcy filing will likely be a lengthy one, given the complexity of its debt portfolio, number of creditors, numerous union contracts, and significant legal questions that must be addressed.

Another factor affecting the Funds’ holdings was the downgrade of debt issued by Puerto Rico. In 2012, Moody’s downgraded Puerto Rico general obligation (GO) bonds to Baa3 from Baa1, COFINA senior sales tax revenue bonds to Aa3 from Aa2, and COFINA subordinate sales tax revenue bonds to A3 from A1. In October 2013, Moody’s further downgraded the COFINA senior sales tax bonds to A2, while affirming the subordinate bonds at A3. On November 14, 2013, Fitch Ratings announced that it was placing the majority of Puerto Rico issuance—with the exception of the COFINA bonds—on negative credit watch, which implies that another downgrade may be likely. While Fitch currently rates Puerto Rico issuance at BBB-, it affirmed the ratings on COFINA bonds at AA- for the senior bonds and A+ for the subordinate bonds, with stable outlooks. On December 11, 2013 (subsequent to the close of this reporting period), Moody’s announced that it also had placed its Baa3 rating on Puerto Rico GOs (and other Puerto Rico issues linked to the GO rating) on review for downgrade. These downgrades were based on Puerto Rico’s ongoing economic problems and, in the case of the COFINA bonds, the impact of these problems on the projected growth of sales tax revenues. However, the COFINA bonds were able to maintain a higher credit rating than the GOs because, unlike the revenue streams supporting some Puerto Rican issues, the sales taxes supporting the COFINA bonds cannot be diverted and used to support Puerto Rico’s GO bonds. For the six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2013, Puerto Rico paper underperformed the municipal market as a whole.

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 their original investment and also increases the Funds’ exposure to volatility and interest rate risk.

Dividend Information

Each Fund seeks to pay dividends at a rate that reflects the past and projected performance of the Fund. To permit a 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 investment income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If the Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it will hold the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund’s net asset value. Conversely, if the Fund has cumulatively paid in dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute negative UNII that will likewise be reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. Each Fund will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of November 30, 2013, all six Funds had positive UNII balances for tax purposes, based upon our best estimate, and positive UNII balances for financial reporting purposes.

Fund Performance, Expense and Effective Leverage Ratios

 

The Fund Performance, Expense and Effective Leverage Ratios for each Fund are shown on the following six pages.

Returns quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns without sales charges would be lower if the sales charge were included. 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 a contractual agreement between certain Funds and the investment adviser to waive certain fees and expenses; see Notes to Financial Statements, Note 7—Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates for more information. In addition, returns may reflect a voluntary expense limitation by the Funds’ investment adviser that may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice.

Returns reflect differences in sales charges and expenses, which are primarily differences in distribution and service fees. Fund returns assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.

Comparative index and Lipper return information is provided for the Funds’ Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) only.

The expense ratios shown reflect the Funds’ total operating expenses (before fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any) as shown in the Funds’ 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 the investment capital. The effective leverage ratio shown is the amount of investment exposure created either through borrowings or indirectly through inverse floaters, divided by the assets invested, including those assets that were purchased with the proceeds of the leverage, or referenced by the levered instrument.

Yields November 30, 2013

 

Dividend Yield is the most recent dividend per share (annualized) divided by the offering price per share.

The SEC 30-Day Yield is a standardized measure of 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. Dividend Yield may differ from the SEC 30-Day Yield because the Fund may be paying out more or less than it is earning and it may not include the effect of amortization of bond premium.

The Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an after-tax basis at a specified tax rate. With respect to investments that generate qualified dividend income that is taxable at a maximum rate of 15%, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is 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 of 31.5%.

 

3 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 of 32.3%.

 

4 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 of 31.1%.

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 of 32.3%.

 

3 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 of 31.9%.

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 are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the period.

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

The information under “Hypothetical Performance,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the respective Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you incurred for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the 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.

The Trust is comprised of the Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund (“Kansas”), Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund (“Kentucky”), Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund (“Michigan”), Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund (“Missouri”), Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund (“Ohio”) and Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund (“Wisconsin”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), as diversified funds (non-diversified for Kansas and Wisconsin). The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on July 1, 1996. The Funds were each organized as a series of predecessor trusts or corporations prior to that date.

Investment Adviser

The Fund’s investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”). The Adviser is responsible for each Fund’s overall investment strategy and 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.

Fund Information

Each Fund’s investment objective is to provide as high a level of current interest income exempt from regular federal, its respective state and, in some cases, local income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital. Under normal market conditions, each Fund invests at least 80% of the sum of its net assets and the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in municipal bonds that pay interest that is exempt from regular federal and its respective state personal income tax. These municipal bonds include obligations issued by U.S. states and their subdivisions, authorities, instrumentalities and corporations, as well as obligations issued by U.S. territories (such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam) that pay interest that is exempt from regular federal and respective state personal income tax. Each Fund may invest without limit in securities that generate income subject to the alternative minimum tax. Each Fund will generally maintain, under normal market conditions, an investment portfolio with an overall weighted average maturity in excess of 10 years. Under normal market conditions, each Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in investment grade municipal bonds rated BBB/Baa or higher at the time of purchase by at least one independent rating agency, or, if unrated, judged by the Sub-Adviser to be of comparable quality. Each Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in below investment grade municipal bonds, commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk” bonds. Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in municipal securities whose interest payments vary inversely with changes in short-term tax-exempt interest rates ( “inverse floaters” ). Inverse floaters are derivative securities that provide leveraged exposure to underlying municipal bonds. Each Fund’s investments in inverse floaters are designed to increase the Fund’s income and returns through this leveraged exposure. These investments are speculative, however, and also create the possibility that income and returns will be diminished. Each Fund may invest in all types of municipal bonds, including general obligation bonds, revenue bonds and participation interests in municipal leases. Each Fund may invest in zero coupon bonds, which are issued at substantial discounts from their value at maturity and pay no cash income to their holders until they mature.

Each Fund may utilize futures contracts, swap contracts, options on futures contracts and options on swap contracts in an attempt to manage market risk, credit risk and yield curve risk, and to manage the effective maturity or duration of securities in each Fund’s portfolio.

The Funds’ most recent prospectus provides further descriptions of each Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies, and principal risks.

Class B Shares

During the current fiscal period, Kentucky, Missouri and Ohio offered Class B Shares. Effective at the close of business on October 28, 2013, Class B Shares of Kentucky and Missouri were converted to Class A Shares and are no longer available through an exchange from other Nuveen mutual funds.

Significant Accounting Policies

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

 

  82       Nuveen Investments


Investment Transactions

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the specific identification method, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to earmark securities in the Funds’ portfolios with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. As of November 30, 2013, the Funds’ outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments were as follows:

 

         Missouri        Ohio  
Outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments      $ 2,244,593         $ 5,992,296   

Investment Income

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

Professional Fees

Professional fees presented on the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in an attempt to protect or enhance an investment, or to pursue other claims or legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders. Should a Fund receive a refund of workout expenditures paid in a prior reporting period, such amounts will be recognized as “Legal fee refund” on the Statement of Operations.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

The Funds declare dividends from their net investment income daily and pay shareholders monthly. Fund shares begin to accrue dividends on the business day after the day when the monies used to purchase Fund shares are collected by the Funds’ transfer agent.

Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.

Distributions to shareholders of net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

Share Classes and Sales Charges

Class A Shares are generally sold with an up-front sales charge and incur a .20% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class A Share purchases of $1 million or more are sold at net asset value without an up-front sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase. Kansas, Michigan and Wisconsin do not offer Class B shares. Kentucky and Missouri issued and Ohio will issue Class B Shares upon the exchange of Class B Shares from another Nuveen mutual fund or for purposes of dividend reinvestment, but Class B Shares are not available for new accounts or for additional investment into existing accounts. Class B Shares were sold without an up-front sales charge but incur a .75% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a .20% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class B Shares are subject to a CDSC of up to 5% depending upon the length of time the shares are held by the investor (CDSC is reduced to 0% at the end of six years). Class B Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after purchase. Class C Shares are sold without an up-front sales charge but incur a .55% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a .20% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class C Shares are subject to a CDSC of 1% if redeemed within twelve months of purchase. Class I Shares are not subject to any sales charge or 12b-1 distribution or service fees.

Multiclass Operations and Allocations

Income and expenses of the 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, which presently only include 12b-1 distribution and service fees, are recorded to the specific class.

Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Funds are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class.

Indemnifications

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

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

 

Netting Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable International Swaps and Derivative Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows each Fund to offset any exposure to a specific counterparty with any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, a Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis. As of November 30, 2013, the Funds were not invested in any portfolio securities or derivative instruments that are subject to netting agreements.

Use of Estimates

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

2. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements

Investment Valuation

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

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

Fair Value Measurements

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

 

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

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

The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making a fair value determination, based on the facts and circumstances specific to the portfolio instrument. Fair value determinations generally will be derived as follows, using public or private market information:

 

  (i) If available, fair value determinations shall be derived by extrapolating from recent transactions or quoted prices for identical or comparable securities.

 

  (ii) If such information is not available, an analytical valuation methodology may be used based on other available information including, but not limited to: analyst appraisals, research reports, corporate action information, issuer financial statements and shelf registration statements. Such analytical valuation methodologies may include, but are not limited to: multiple of earnings, discount from market value of a similar freely-traded security, discounted cash flow analysis, book value or a multiple thereof, risk premium/yield analysis, yield to maturity and/or fundamental investment analysis.

The purchase price of a portfolio instrument will be used to fair value the instrument only if no other valuation methodology is available or deemed appropriate, and it is determined that the purchase price fairly reflects the instrument’s current value.

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

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

The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (a) to cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to tender their notes at par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate bond held by the trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust.

A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an “externally-deposited inverse floater”), or instead by first selling a fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a “self-deposited inverse floater”). An investment in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(IF) – Inverse floating rate investment.” The Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities shows only the inverse floaters and not the underlying bonds as an asset, and does not reflect the short-term floating rate certificates as liabilities. Also, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” only the net amount of earnings on its inverse floater investment (net of the interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates and the expenses of the trust), and does not show the amount of that interest paid as an interest expense on the Statement of Operations.

An investment in a self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction. In such instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(UB) – Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction,” with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate certificates issued by the trust, at their liquidation value, as “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” the entire earnings of the underlying bond and recognizes the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as a component of “Interest expense” on the Statement of Operations.

During the six months ended November 30, 2013, each Fund invested in externally-deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.

The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest rate and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters for the following Funds during the six months ended November 30, 2013, were as follows:

 

       Kansas        Kentucky        Missouri        Wisconsin  

Average floating rate obligations outstanding

   $ 19,370,000         $ 1,435,000         $ 560,000         $ 340,000   

Average annual interest rate and fees

     .58        .56        .25        .56

As of November 30, 2013, the total amount of floating rate obligations issued by each Fund’s self-deposited inverse floaters and externally-deposited inverse floaters was as follows:

 

       Kansas        Kentucky        Michigan        Missouri        Ohio        Wisconsin  

Floating rate obligations: self-deposited inverse floaters

   $ 9,420,000         $ 5,650,000         $         $ 2,225,000         $         $ 1,000,000   

Floating rate obligations: externally-deposited inverse floaters

     5,250,000           22,500,000           6,437,000                     57,235,000           3,750,000   

Total

   $ 14,670,000         $ 28,150,000         $ 6,437,000         $ 2,225,000         $ 57,235,000         $ 4,750,000   

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

 

  86       Nuveen Investments


As of November 30, 2013, each Fund’s maximum exposure to the floating rate obligations issued by externally-deposited Recourse Trusts was as follows:

 

       Kansas        Kentucky        Michigan        Missouri        Ohio        Wisconsin  

Maximum exposure to Recourse Trusts

   $ 5,250,000         $ 15,000,000         $ 3,150,000         $   —         $ 31,410,000         $ 3,750,000   

Zero Coupon Securities

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

Investments in Derivatives

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 six months ended November 30, 2013.

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.

       Kansas        Kentucky        Michigan        Missouri        Ohio        Wisconsin  
Purchases    $ 21,721,874         $ 25,829,832         $ 1,837,661         $ 31,625,711         $ 24,552,605         $ 5,990,645

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 arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset values of the Funds.

As of November 30, 2013, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

 

         Kansas        Kentucky        Michigan        Missouri        Ohio        Wisconsin  
Cost of investments      $ 198,504,602         $ 359,501,583         $ 156,037,506         $ 403,370,310         $ 490,717,297         $ 85,681,293

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Each Fund’s management fee compensates the Adviser for 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.

 

Nuveen Investments     91   


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 for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:

 

Average Daily Net Assets      Fund-Level Fee Rate  
For the first $125 million        .3500
For the next $125 million        .3375   
For the next $250 million        .3250   
For the next $500 million        .3125   
For the next $1 billion        .3000   
For the next $3 billion        .2750   
For net assets over $5 billion        .2500   

The annual complex-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:

 

Complex-Level Asset Breakpoint Level*      Effective Rate at  Breakpoint Level  
$55 billion        .2000
$56 billion        .1996   
$57 billion        .1989   
$60 billion        .1961   
$63 billion        .1931   
$66 billion        .1900   
$71 billion        .1851   
$76 billion        .1806   
$80 billion        .1773   
$91 billion        .1691   
$125 billion        .1599   
$200 billion        .1505   
$250 billion        .1469   
$300 billion        .1445   
* The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily “eligible assets” of all Nuveen Funds. Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen Funds or assets in excess of $2 billion added to the Nuveen Fund complex in connection with the Adviser’s assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011. Eligible assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to certain types of leverage. For these purposes, leverage includes the closed-end funds’ use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining eligible assets in certain circumstances. As of November 30, 2013, the complex-level fee rate for each of these Funds was as follows:

 

Fund      Complex-Level Fee Rate  
Kansas        0.1679
Kentucky        0.1679   
Michigan        0.1679   
Missouri        0.1770   
Ohio        0.1708   
Wisconsin        0.1679   

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses so that total annual Fund operating expenses, (excluding 12b-1 distribution and service fees, interest expenses, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) for Ohio do not exceed .750% of the average daily net assets of any class of Fund shares. The Adviser may also voluntarily reimburse expenses from time to time in any of the Funds. Voluntary reimbursements may be terminated at any time at the Adviser’s discretion.

The Trust pays no compensation directly to those of its trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen-advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen-advised funds.

During the six months ended November 30, 2013, Nuveen Securities, LLC (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen, collected sales charges on purchases of Class A Shares, the majority of which were paid out as concessions to financial intermediaries as follows:

 

         Kansas        Kentucky        Michigan        Missouri        Ohio        Wisconsin  
Sales charges collected      $ 109,764         $ 100,729         $ 28,174         $ 145,769         $ 99,508         $ 36,022   
Paid to financial intermediaries        95,309           85,415           24,944           129,228           89,273           31,587   

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 six months ended November 30, 2013, the Distributor compensated financial intermediaries directly with commission advances at the time of purchase as follows:

 

         Kansas        Kentucky        Michigan        Missouri        Ohio        Wisconsin  
Commission advances      $ 21,037         $ 12,909         $ 10,868         $ 44,142         $ 59,563         $ 10,418   

To compensate for commissions advanced to financial intermediaries, all 12b-1 service fees collected on Class B Shares during the first year following a purchase, all 12b-1 distribution fees collected on Class B Shares, and all 12b-1 service and distribution fees collected on Class C Shares during the first year following a purchase are retained by the Distributor. During the six months ended November 30, 2013, the Distributor retained such 12b-1 fees as follows:

 

         Kansas        Kentucky        Michigan        Missouri        Ohio        Wisconsin  
12b-1 fees retained      $ 41,313         $ 43,378         $ 14,306         $ 28,519         $ 70,919         $ 25,265   

The remaining 12b-1 fees charged to the Funds were paid to compensate financial intermediaries for providing services to shareholders relating to their investments.

The Distributor also collected and retained CDSC on share redemptions during the six months ended November 30, 2013, as follows:

 

         Kansas        Kentucky        Michigan        Missouri        Ohio        Wisconsin  
CDSC retained      $ 12,469         $ 37,348         $ 26         $ 6,522         $ 13,208         $ 2,915   

8. Subsequent Events

Class C and Class C2 Shares

During the current reporting period, the Funds’ Board of Trustees approved the following changes:

Effective February 10, 2014, subsequent to the close of this reporting period, each Fund intends to offer a new share class, designated as Class C Shares, which will be subject to annual distribution and service fees of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Current Class C Shares of the Funds will be re-designated Class C2 Shares. Class C2 Shares will not be available for new accounts or for additional investment into existing accounts except in connection with dividend reinvestments. Class C2 Shares will not be eligible for the reinstatement privilege. Shareholders of Class C2 Shares will be eligible to exchange their shares into Class C2 Shares of other Nuveen municipal bond funds. Shareholders of Class C2 Shares will also remain eligible to exchange their shares into Class C Shares of any other Nuveen mutual Fund, but if they exchange back into a Nuveen municipal bond fund, they will issued newly established Class C Shares.

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 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.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP): The total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country/region in a given year, equal to total consumer, investment and government spending, plus the value of exports, minus the value of imports.

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 created by a broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a) issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) to an investor (such as a Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the inverse floater varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the holder of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis.

Leverage: Leverage is created whenever a fund has investment exposure (both reward and/or risk) equivalent to more than 100% of the investment capital.

Lipper Ohio Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Represents the average annualized total return for all reporting funds in the Lipper Ohio Municipal Debt Funds Classification. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charge.

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 Average represents the overall average of returns for funds from multiple states with a wide variety of municipal market conditions, making direct comparisons less meaningful. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charge.

Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: A fund’s Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash and accrued earnings) less its total liabilities. For funds with multiple classes, Net Assets are determined separately for each share class. NAV per share is equal to the fund’s (or share class’) Net Assets divided by its number of shares outstanding.

Pre-Refundings: Pre-Refundings, also known as advance refundings or refinancings, occur when an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and interest payments of older existing bonds. This process often results in lower borrowing costs for bond issuers.

S&P Municipal Bond 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.

Zero Coupon Bond: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the bond at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of bonds that pay interest periodically.
