Chair’s Letter to Shareholders    
Dear Shareholders,
More than a year has passed since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic in March 2020, resulting in a year marked by a global economic downturn, financial market turbulence and some immeasurable losses. Although the health crisis persists, with the widespread distribution of vaccines in the U.S. and extraordinary economic interventions by governments and central banks around the world, we collectively look forward to what our “new normal” might be.
Global economic activity has continued to rebound, driving both gross domestic product growth and inflation higher, especially in the U.S. Vaccinations have enabled a further reopening of economies while governments and central banks have taken extraordinary measures to support the recoveries. To extend relief programs enacted earlier in the crisis, the U.S. government passed $900 billion in aid to individuals and businesses in late December 2020. Another $1.9 trillion relief package was signed into law in March 2021 providing extended unemployment benefits, direct payments to individuals and families, assistance to state and local municipalities, grants to education and public health, and other support. Currently, Congress is working on an infrastructure spending plan, although its final shape and whether it passes remains to be seen. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) and other central banks around the world have upgraded their economic forecasts but remain committed to sustaining the recovery by maintaining accommodative monetary conditions. However, as economies have reopened, the surge in consumer demand has outpaced supply chain capacity, resulting in a jump in inflation indicators in recent months. Whether inflation persists is a subject of debate by economists and market observers, while the Fed and other central banks believe it to be more transitory.
While the markets’ longer-term outlook has brightened, we expect intermittent bouts of volatility to continue. Markets are closely monitoring central bank signals, particularly if inflation remains elevated, as a sooner-than-expected shift to monetary tightening could slow the economic recovery. Additionally, COVID-19 cases are still elevated in some regions, as more virulent strains have spread and vaccination rollouts have been uneven around the country and around the world. The recovery hinges on controlling the virus, and estimates vary considerably on when economic activity might be fully restored and what level of public inoculation would be sufficient to contain the virus spread. On the political front, the Biden administration’s full policy agenda and the potential for Congressional gridlock remain to be seen, either of which could cause investment outlooks to shift. Short-term market fluctuations can provide your Fund opportunities to invest in new ideas as well as upgrade existing positioning while providing long-term value for shareholders. For more than 120 years, the careful consideration of risk and reward has guided Nuveen’s focus on delivering long-term results to our shareholders.
If you have concerns about what’s coming next, it can be an opportune time to assess your portfolio. 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
July 22, 2021

What factors affected the U.S. economy and the national municipal bond market during the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2021?
The U.S. economy rebounded more quickly than expected from the deep downturn caused by the COVID-19 crisis and containment measures, but gross domestic product (GDP) shrank 3.5% in 2020 compared to 2019’s annual level. After falling into a deep recession in February 2020 due to the restrictions put on business and social activity to mitigate the COVID-19 spread, the economy bounced back with the help of several factors. These included: Federal government stimulus aiding individuals and businesses, accommodative monetary policy by the Fed that kept borrowing costs low and a gradual reopening of businesses with the roll-out of several FDA approved vaccines. U.S. GDP growth picked up pace in the first quarter of 2021, growing at an annualized rate of 6.4% according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis “second” estimate, an increase from 4.3% (annualized) in the fourth quarter of 2020. GDP measures the value of goods and services produced by the nation’s economy less the value of the goods and services used up in production, adjusted for price changes.
Consumer spending, the largest driver of the economy, rebounded markedly from the steep declines early in the health crisis. Although the momentum slowed toward the end of 2020 amid a resurgence of COVID-19 infections, consumer demand resumed in 2021 as vaccination rates increased and lockdown restrictions eased, eligible Americans received another government stimulus check and the job market continued to improve. By May 2021, the U.S. unemployment rate had fallen to 5.8%, a significant improvement from 13.3% in May 2020 and from the pandemic peak of 14.8% in April 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The average hourly earnings rate increased, growing at an annualized rate of 2.0% in May 2021, despite the spike in unemployment. However, the BLS pointed out that wage growth trends have been difficult to analyze given the wide variation in average hourly earnings across industries and large fluctuations in employment since February 2020. The overall trend of inflation accelerated, largely due to

rising energy prices and the improving economy. The higher annual inflation rate in May 2021 is also the result of the comparison from a year ago, when consumer prices fell sharply as the first lockdowns were imposed in March 2020. The BLS said the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 5.0% over the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2021, before seasonal adjustment.
With the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, the Federal Reserve (Fed) enacted an array of emergency measures in March 2020 to stabilize the financial system and support the markets, including cutting its main interest rate to near zero, offering lending programs to aid small and large companies and engaging in expanded bond purchases, known as quantitative easing. In August 2020, the Fed announced a change in its inflation targeting policy, moving from a program of absolute targeting to an average inflation targeting policy. Under this regime, the Fed will tolerate the inflation rate temporarily overshooting the target rate to offset periods of below-target inflation, so that inflation averages a 2% target rate over time. In their meetings throughout the first half of 2021, Fed officials continued to signal that accommodative policy measures will stay in place, asserting that recently higher inflation readings are transitory and the economic recovery remains far from the Fed’s goals.
The federal government also intervened with historic relief measures, starting with three aid packages in March and April 2020. These included $2 trillion allocated across direct payments to individuals, an expansion of unemployment insurance, loans to large and small businesses, funding to hospitals and health agencies and support to state and local governments, and more than $100 billion in funding to employers offering paid leave. In December 2020, the government enacted a $900 billion relief package extending some of these programs, and followed in March 2021 with another $1.9 trillion deal providing support to individuals and families, small businesses, state and local governments, education and public health/vaccination. The Biden administration has proposed another $2 trillion stimulus plan focused on infrastructure and jobs, but it is facing legislative hurdles.
By the start of this reporting period, markets had largely stabilized from the initial health crisis shock. In March 2020, equity and commodity markets sold off and safe-haven assets rallied as countries initiated quarantines, restricted travel and shuttered factories and businesses, while an ill-timed oil price war between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-OPEC member Russia amplified the volatility. In late 2020, the announcement of high efficacy rates in several COVID-19 vaccine trials, followed by regulatory authorizations and public vaccination drives across Western countries improved the outlook for 2021 and led to risk-on sentiment in the markets. Increasing vaccination rates and some surprisingly strong economic readings in the first few months of 2021 led to rising inflation concerns and an increase in long-term interest rates, but central banks reassured the markets that it was too soon to withdraw stimulus measures.
Geopolitical uncertainty remained elevated during 2020 in anticipation of the U.S. presidential election in November 2020 and the Brexit transition period set to expire in December 2020. However, political risks began to ease with the election of President Joe Biden and a final deal struck between the European Union and U.K. before the end of the transition period. Although China and the U.S. signed a “phase one” trade deal in January 2020, tensions continued to flare over other trade and technology/security issues, Hong Kong’s sovereignty and the management of the COVID-19 crisis. In 2021, geopolitical concerns in the Middle East, Russia and Belarus made news headlines, but market impacts were relatively minimal.
Municipal bonds performed well in this reporting period, reflecting a significant recovery from the COVID-19 crisis sell-off in March 2020. At the time, U.S. Treasury yields fell to historic lows and interest rate volatility increased sharply while municipal bond prices became severely dislocated from Treasury prices and credit spreads widened significantly. With ongoing monetary and fiscal interventions from the Fed and U.S. government and credit fundamentals that demonstrated more resilience than initially expected, investor sentiment improved and credit spreads narrowed significantly by the end of the reporting period. Municipal bond yields generally moved lower through the first half of the reporting period, then rose over the second half as fixed income markets priced in a stronger economic growth and inflation outlook and the prospect of more government stimulus. For the twelve-month reporting period overall, municipal yields were little changed at the short end of the yield curve, higher in the intermediate segment and lower at the longest maturities, which flattened the yield curve.
Municipal bond gross issuance nationwide remained strong in the reporting period, with deals postponed rather than canceled during the COVID-19 crisis driven sell-off. The overall low level of interest rates has encouraged issuers to continue to actively refund their outstanding debt. In these transactions the issuers are issuing new bonds and taking the bond proceeds and redeeming (calling) old bonds. These refunding transactions have represented roughly a third of total issuance in 2021 so far. Additionally, the proportion of

taxable issuance has risen to about one third of total gross issuance since the advent of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, which prohibits municipal issuers from issuing new tax-exempt bonds to pre-refund existing tax-exempt bonds. Thus, the net issuance (all bonds issued less bonds redeemed) of tax exempt municipal bonds is actually much lower than the gross issuance. This lower net issuance was an overall positive technical factor on municipal bond investment performance in recent years and in this reporting period.
While municipal bond funds suffered significant outflows in March 2020, particularly from high yield municipal bond funds, fund flows rebounded strongly over the remainder of 2020 and sustained a robust pace through early 2021. Demand has been resilient even though municipal defaults, as expected, have increased somewhat during the COVID-19 crisis. However, default activity has occurred mainly in sectors with greater COVID-19 risk exposure, such as senior living, corporate-backed and real estate-backed. Moreover, while there are some pockets of municipal credit ratings stress, a wave of downgrades has not materialized. With interest rates in the U.S. and globally still near all-time lows, even after the recent increase in long-term rates, the appetite for yield has continued to drive investors toward higher after-tax yielding assets, including U.S. municipal bonds. Additionally, as taxpayers have adjusted to the 2017 tax law, which caps the state and local tax (SALT) deduction for individuals, there has been increased demand for tax-exempt municipal bonds, especially in states with high income taxes and/or property taxes.
What were the economic and market environments in Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin during the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2021?
Kansas’ economic growth lagged that of the nation over the better half of the last decade. In 2019, the state’s nominal GDP grew 2.8%, ranking it 40th for growth amongst the 50 states. However, the state was less impacted by the COVID-19 crisis than its peers and the nation with GDP declining only 1.8% (ranking 20th) in 2020. Kansas’ economy is primarily driven by the agriculture and aerospace sectors. The aerospace industry had slowed down even prior to the COVID-19 crisis and will continue to face challenges as air travel remains depressed. As of May 2021, the unemployment rate was a low 3.7% and remains well below the national unemployment rate of 5.8%. Kansas has stabilized its fiscal position over the last several years and improved reserve levels. As of Fiscal Year 2020, Kansas had $1.4 billion in available reserves (GAAP-basis), or 18.5% of General Fund expenditures. The Governor’s proposed Fiscal Year 2021 budget originally showed a $650 million gap, which the state balanced with about $682 million in cuts. Notably, better than anticipated revenue performance, including revenues coming in $500 million over projections for May 2021, is expected to propel the state to add to its fund balance in Fiscal Year 2021. In addition, the state is scheduled to receive $1.6 billion in American Rescue Plan funding, which will provide additional financial flexibility for the state over the near term. Moody’s maintains its Aa2 rating and stable outlook on the State of Kansas. S&P also maintains their AA- rating and stable outlook.
Kentucky’s economy lagged the U.S. before the COVID-19 crisis occurred, though employment recovery has benefitted from earlier reopening efforts and increased demand for goods over services. As of May 2021, unemployment had declined to 4.5% compared to 5.8% for the U.S. as a whole, and significantly below the April 2020 spike of 16.9%. Manufacturing accounts for an above average 12.8% of the state’s jobs, compared with 8.5% nationally. Manufacturing was one of the hardest hit sectors during the initial downturn last year. Since then, Kentucky’s manufacturing sector has outperformed the nation’s, with more than 80% of lost manufacturing jobs recouped. In the midst of economic uncertainty last spring, the legislature enacted a one-year budget for Fiscal Year 2021, instead of the customary biennial budget. For Fiscal Year 2021, general fund collections have grown by 14% for the first 11 months of the Fiscal Year. Sales tax receipts are up 11.5% over the prior year, through May 2021. Federal aid measures enacted in 2020 provided direct fiscal support to the state as well. Direct fiscal aid included a 6.2% increase in the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage for Medicaid and $1.6 billion through the CARES Act. Under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), Kentucky’s state government is in line to receive $2.4 billion in direct aid. The enacted Fiscal Year 2022 budget at $12.1 billion holds funding relatively flat compared to the prior year’s budget but includes modest increases in K-12 and higher education spending. Kentucky’s long-term liabilities are outsized compared to other states. The Commonwealth’s $11.1 billion on net tax-supported debt ranks 5th highest among states and is more than double the 50-state median of 1.9%. The state continues to be pressured by its significantly underfunded pension system, one of the weakest in the nation. Kentucky does not have any outstanding general obligation debt but its implied general obligation rating and outlook as of May 2021 was Aa3 (stable) by Moody’s and A (stable) by S&P. The state typically issues annual appropriation debt, which is rated a notch lower at A1 and A-, by Moody’s and S&P.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
Michigan’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis is underway as unemployment recedes, state revenues continue to outperform projections and the state’s credit profile improves. The state was better positioned going into the current downturn than it has been in past periods of economic contraction. Over the last few years, Michigan’s growth outpaced many of its Great Lakes region neighbors, driven by employment growth and continued economic diversification. However, Michigan’s economy still remains tied to the auto industry and has a higher concentration in manufacturing jobs than most states, which meant greater vulnerability through 2020. Manufacturing represented 14.2% of employment in the state, compared with 8.5% nationally in 2019. Michigan lost an estimated 1 million jobs in 2020, approximately a quarter of the state’s workforce was out of work or temporarily furloughed. COVID-19 crisis related shutdowns and social distancing impacted many manufacturing operations in the second quarter of 2020, helping to drive the state’s unemployment rate up to a high of 23.6% in April 2020. Unemployment has improved to 5.0% as of May 2021 as the economy and businesses reopen. The “Big Three” (General Motors, Ford and Chrysler) auto manufacturers continue to rank among the state’s five largest employers and several auto makers are expanding production of electric vehicles in the state. Current forecasts show 16.8% growth for 2022, though an industry shortage of microchips may slow production. Income is projected to increase by a more modest 2.5% in 2021. Total consumer spending in Michigan has fully recovered, now 9.0% higher than January 2020. Michigan's income levels still lag the national average ranking 33rd among the states in 2020 and per capita income is just 89% of the national average. Housing value appreciation has mirrored national trends. Following the peak in housing prices in mid-2006, home prices in Michigan declined dramatically and the inventory of foreclosed homes remained elevated in many of the state’s hardest-hit metropolitan areas, including Detroit, Warren and Flint. But, improvement in the state economy has brought slow, steady improvement in the housing market more recently. According to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index of 20 major metropolitan areas, housing prices in Detroit rose 13.3% over the twelve months ended April 2021 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared), compared with a 14.6% price increase nationally. Michigan weathered the budgetary uncertainty of 2020 well, outperforming initially bleak revenue projections. Because the state has a September 30 fiscal year-end, mid-year adjustments were necessary as the COVID-19 crisis shutdown economic activity. The state began implementing furloughs and temporary layoffs in April 2020 in anticipation of revenue declines and the delayed income tax payment date. But revenues held up well, only down 2% below Fiscal Year 2019 and the state was able to close an estimated $2.4 billion budget gap. The state’s early action, combined with enhanced federal Medicaid funding, and federal COVID-19 relief aid from the CARES Act resulted in $2.3 billion operating surplus for Fiscal Year 2020. Michigan expects to receive up to $11 billion in direct aid for state and local governments from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) passed by Congress in March 2021. Of this, the state will receive $6.5 billion over several years which can be used to address public health and economic needs resulting from the COVID-19 crisis. Revenues are now projected to be $1.5 billion, or 6.2% over Fiscal Year 2020 due to strong personal income and sales tax growth. The state’s May 2021 economic forecast and consensus revenue estimate projects operating revenues will increase 1.9% in Fiscal Year 2022 over the prior year. The governor’s proposed $67.1 billion budget for Fiscal Year 2022 would increase spending by 7% but will likely be revised before the beginning of the Fiscal Year on October 1, 2021. The proposed budget increases K-12 education spending by 2%. The state’s liquidity position is stable despite a recent draw on the rainy day fund. Michigan spent down $350 million from the state’s stabilization/rainy day reserve fund in Fiscal Year 2020, but will replenish most of this draw with a deposit planned for Fiscal Year 2021. The reserve fund balance is projected to reach $1.0 billion in Fiscal Year 2021, equal to about 10% of General Fund revenues, or 4% of combined operating revenues. Michigan uses a Common Cash Fund to manage cash flow and recent growth has increased liquidity and eliminated the need for cash flow borrowing. The total balance across all funds was $11.7 billion at the end of Fiscal Year 2020, representing an over 100% increase over 2016 levels. As of June 2021, Moody’s and S&P rated Michigan general obligation (GO) debt at Aa1 and AA, respectively.
Missouri’s economic growth has kept pace with its Midwestern peers and was nearly on par with the nation through the COVID-19 crisis. After being ranked 29th among states for nominal GDP growth, Missouri’s 2020 ranking improved to 23rd. The state’s GDP declined 2.0% due to the COVID-19 crisis, compared to national GDP declining 2.3%. The state’s unemployment rate of 4.2% is lower than the national rate of 5.8% as of May 2021. The state saw growth in the finance and insurance, retail trade, and health care and social assistance sectors. Missouri’s population has grown just 2.7% since 2010 to 6.1 million, which lags the nation’s growth rate of 6.3% over the same time period. The Missouri Constitution requires that the state pass a balanced budget. Fiscal Year 2020 concluded with a $535 million surplus, which bolstered available reserves to roughly $2.1 billion. Rebounding tax revenue coupled with federal pandemic aid are attributed to the likelihood of an approximate $2.0 billion surplus for Fiscal Year 2021. In addition, the state is scheduled to receive $2.8 billion in American Rescue Plan funding from the federal government, which will provide additional financial flexibility over the near term. The Fiscal Year 2022 budget is not yet enacted, but the approved budget contains $35.6 billion in appropriations. Moody’s, S&P and Fitch rate Missouri general obligation debt at Aaa/AAA/AAA and all have stable outlooks.

Ohio has a population of 11.7 million, making it the seventh-largest U.S. state by population. The state has a large, diverse economy that is the seventh largest among the states. After above average job losses and GDP contraction in the first few months of the COVID-19 crisis, Ohio’s initial economic recovery has been strong and compares favorably to the nation’s recovery. From February 2020 to April 2020, Ohio lost 16% of its total non-farm jobs, compared to 14.7% for the U.S. However, the state’s unemployment rate was 5.0% in May 2021, compared to 5.8% for the nation. According to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index, housing prices in Cleveland rose 13.3% over the twelve months ended April 2021 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared), compared with a 14.6% price increase nationally. Ohio’s real median household income in 2019 stood at $64,663, which places it 33rd in the U.S., according to the Census Bureau. Ohio operates on a biennial budget cycle. To balance the state budget in Fiscal Year 2020, due to anticipated declines in revenue and increased costs related to the state’s response to the COVID-19 crisis, Governor DeWine directed spending cuts of $775 million for the remainder of the Fiscal Year (June 30, 2020) and reduced spending by $390 million across all agencies for Fiscal Year 2021. Ohio was directly allocated a minimum of $2.49 billion of the total $4.53 billion granted to the state of Ohio by the Federal Government under the CARES Act in March 2020 to the state and its eligible local governments. The Federal Government also allocated approximately $5.6 billion directly to the state under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021 out of a total $11.2 billion granted to the state and its eligible local governments. According to the latest revenue figures, Ohio’s tax revenues are $1.3 billion (8.3%) above last year through February 2021. On a year-over-year basis, February total General Revenue Fund disbursements were $289.2 million (-12.0%) lower than those of the same month in the previous Fiscal Year, with a decrease in Medicaid largely responsible for the difference. The Governor’s proposed Fiscal Year 2022-2023 budget is structurally balanced and based on conservative economic forecasts that assume slower economic recovery than the nation. The state’s conservative fiscal management has resulted in a strong financial position, with sound liquidity and reserve levels, heading into the COVID-19 crisis. Ohio prioritized the rebuilding of its budget stabilization fund after the Great Recession. The current budget stabilization fund balance of $2.7 billion is 8.0% of general fund revenues and, to date, there has been no draw on these rainy day funds. Ohio has maintained a moderate debt burden relative to other states. The state’s net tax-supported debt totaled $13.3 billion in 2020, which is 2.3% of state personal income, compared to the Moody’s 50-state median of 2.0%. As of March 2021, Moody’s and S&P rated Ohio GO debt at Aa1 and AA+, respectively, with stable outlooks.
Wisconsin’s economic expansion slightly trailed the national average in recent years, but increased diversification and a record of fiscal discipline have helped the state maintain credit quality. Strong manufacturing job growth buoyed Wisconsin’s economic progress post-recession, and the manufacturing sector’s resilience has helped the state recover from the economic shutdown last year. Wisconsin lost fewer jobs than most Midwestern states in 2020 and has made progress rebuilding the workforce. As of May 2021, total employment is up 10.4% from the low point reached last year, but the number of jobs is still 4.5% below pre-COVID-19 crisis levels. Unemployment remains low and the state’s labor participation rate is well above average, making for a tighter than average labor market. Wisconsin’s unemployment rate registered 3.9% in May 2021, below the national rate of 5.8%. Wisconsin’s economy has diversified, due to growth in education and health services, but manufacturing overall still accounts for an elevated 16.2% of employment in the State. This makes Wisconsin the second most dependent state on manufacturing nationwide, responsible for almost 20% of the state’s GDP. Notably, the composition of manufacturing jobs has shifted as industrial and machinery manufacturing have been replaced by food processing manufacturing, which has been more stable. The State’s dependence on manufacturing and comparatively weaker demographic profile are projected to constrain economic growth to just average over the long term. Wisconsin’s budgetary performance throughout the COVID-19 crisis has been stable. Unlike many states, revenues did not decline due to reduced economic activity and the state implemented modest budget cuts early in 2020 to constrain spending. General Fund tax collections in Fiscal Year 2020 were 1.1% above the prior year. Fiscal Year 2021 revenues have been revised upward and are now projected to be up 3.2% over the prior year. Wisconsin received $2 billion from the federal government for COVID-19 crisis relief efforts in 2020 and expects to receive up to $2.5 billion from the American Rescue Plan Act over the next few years. This additional federal funding will assist the state’s pandemic response efforts. The Fiscal Year 2022 proposed budget, including unspent or lapsed appropriations carried over from Fiscal Year 2020, totals $20.7 billion, a 7.3% increase over the prior year. Spending increases are driven by increased funding for K-12 education. Revenues are projected to grow 1% in Fiscal Year 2022 and a stronger 4.6% in Fiscal Year 2023. Significant contributions in recent years have increased the state’s rainy day fund, or Budget Stabilization Fund balance to $760 million, as of the end of the last Fiscal Year. State statute requires half of any revenue surplus above projections to be transferred to the reserve fund. Based on planned transfers the balance will approach $1 billion in Fiscal Year 2021, equivalent to about 5.5% of revenues and the highest amount ever in the fund’s history. Wisconsin has a solid history of balanced budgets and cutting expenditures mid-year as needed. Wisconsin’s debt levels remain above average. Wisconsin is ranked 18th among states with tax supported debt per capita at $1,477, above the national

median of $1,039. Wisconsin’s high debt ratios are partially attributed to its issuance of $1.8 billion in bonds in 2003 to fund the State’s pension liability. As a result, the state has no unfunded pension liability. Wisconsin’s general obligation debt carried ratings of Aa1 from Moody’s and AA from S&P. Moody’s upgraded the state’s rating to Aa1 from Aa2 in August 2017.
How did the Funds perform during the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2021?
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 May 31, 2021. The performance of each Fund’s Class A Shares at net asset value is compared with the performance of its corresponding benchmark and Lipper classification average.
During the reporting period, the Class A Shares at NAV of the Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri and Wisconsin Funds outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index and their respective Lipper classification average to varying degrees, while the Class A Shares at NAV of the Michigan and Ohio Funds underperformed these performance measures. For the purposes of this Performance Commentary, the references to relative performance of all the Funds is in comparison to S&P Municipal Bond Index.
What strategies were used to manage the Funds during the reporting period and how did these strategies influence performance during the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2021?
The investment objective of each Fund is to provide as high a level of current 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 Kansas Municipal Bond Fund
The Class A Shares of the Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2021.
The municipal bond market staged a powerful rebound from its March 2020 lows, resulting in strong performance for both the Fund and the index during the reporting period. The recovery was most pronounced among lower quality bonds and sectors hit hardest by the COVID-19 crisis. The Fund's credit rating and sector exposure was well positioned to benefit from these trends. Compared to the index, the Fund’s overweight in lower quality securities (including BBB rated bonds, below investment grade securities and non-rated debt) bolstered relative performance. These credit quality tiers outpaced higher quality categories (rated AA and above), in which the Fund had a relative underweight.
In terms of sector positioning, the Fund was overweight key sectors that outpaced the index, particularly those that benefited most from the reopening of the U.S. economy. Specifically, portfolio overweights in dedicated sales tax, senior living, tobacco and industrial development revenue bonds provided the biggest performance boost. The Fund’s positioning in the utility sector was also helpful, with advantageous security selection more than compensating for a detrimental overweight in this lagging market segment. Somewhat offsetting these favorable sector driven performance factors, however, was the Fund’s underweight in higher education bonds, which outperformed the index.
Security selection was another key driver of the Fund’s relative outperformance, due partly to the strong gains of U.S. territorial bonds. Given constrained supply of higher yielding Kansas municipal bonds, the Fund had significant exposure to non-Kansas bonds. Many of these bonds outpaced the index by a wide margin during the reporting period.
The Fund benefited from its relatively large exposure to lower investment grade, below investment grade and non-rated issuers in Guam. These bonds, like all debt issued by U.S. territories, may include exemption from most federal, state and local taxes. The Fund’s Guam holdings were diversified across seven issuers in various sectors, including business privilege (sales tax), airport, tobacco and Section 30 bonds. In this last category, the bonds are secured by a statutory lien on federal income taxes derived from military personnel and federal civil service employees who reside in Guam.

In addition to their attractive yields relative to comparable Kansas debt, Guam bonds offered the potential to benefit from credit spread tightening and a favorable credit outlook for the island, given Guam’s essentiality as a strategic U.S. military location. As credit spreads compressed along with an increase in investors’ risk appetite, Guam bonds posted some of the biggest gains for both the municipal bond market and the Fund during this reporting period.
Among the Fund’s Kansas holdings, notable contributors included higher yielding securities that benefited from credit spread compression. Specifically, sales tax bonds for the Overland Park retail and entertainment destination Prairiefire and the Wyandotte County/Kansas athletic complex project at Vacation Village, as well as for Kansas City senior living facility Village Shalom bonds. However, the Fund’s Kansas local school district and higher education bond holdings lagged the index, detracting from relative performance.
During the reporting period, new purchases for the Fund tended to be of higher credit quality, reflecting the availability of bonds in the Kansas marketplace and longer in maturity. Key portfolio additions in the first half of the reporting period included Kansas bonds in the higher education, general obligation and local school district sectors, as well as out of state tobacco bonds (Ohio) and securities from Guam and Puerto Rico. In the second half of the reporting period, purchases were tilted more toward sectors that stood to benefit from improved state funding, including local school district bonds and securities issued by the Kansas Department of Transportation. The Fund also purchased bonds from Kansas City Kansas Community College, a new issue that offered diversification benefits for the Fund.
Purchases during the reporting period were funded by moderate shareholder inflows and proceeds from bond calls and maturities.
Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund
The Class A Shares of the Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2021.
Credit rating allocation was the leading driver of this outperformance. During this reporting period, lower quality, higher yielding securities outperformed their higher quality, lower yielding counterparts. Lower quality bonds benefited from investors’ appetite for riskier debt that offered added yield in a low interest rate environment and potential upside as the U.S. economy gradually reopened from the shutdown forced by the COVID-19 crisis. Accordingly, the Fund’s overweight in the lowest quality tiers of the investment grade market (bonds rated A and BBB) were relative outperformers and therefore contributed to the Fund’s relative result. The portfolio’s corresponding underweight in the highest credit quality tiers (AAA and AA rated securities) also helped performance.
Individual security selection added relative value. The Fund benefited disproportionately from its longer duration holdings that also carried lower investment grade credit ratings, as bonds with these characteristics were among the municipal bond market’s best performers during the reporting period. Fund holdings in tender option bonds (TOBs) were also notable contributors, as these longer duration floating rate securities generally outperformed as interest rates declined throughout much of this reporting period.
The primary detractor from the Fund’s relative performance was sector positioning. The portfolio’s overweight in pre-refunded bonds was a negative factor given the relative underperformance of these high quality, short duration securities. An overweight in corporate-backed municipal bonds also hindered performance. However, the Fund’s underweight in public power bonds, a high quality sector that trailed the index in an environment that more typically favored lower quality municipal bonds benefited the Fund's performance.
The Fund’s duration (interest rate) and yield curve positioning detracted from performance. The portfolio's underweight in bonds with longer effective durations (twelve years and more), which, given their heightened interest rate sensitivity, were among the best performing securities across the yield curve. A partial offset, however, was the Fund’s overweight in bonds with effective durations of ten to twelve years, another top performing area of the yield curve.
Throughout this reporting period, the Fund received significant new investments from shareholders and proceeds from bond calls and maturities. New purchases focused on Kentucky bonds across a range of sectors, including the higher education, local tax appropriation, dedicated tax, health care, utility and water/sewer segments. These purchases came from both new issue and secondary bond markets and generally entailed securities with intermediate to long durations and lower investment grade credit ratings.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
The Fund’s limited selling activity this reporting period focused on some pre-refunded bonds and other lower yielding securities. The sales allowed the Fund to purchase higher yielding alternatives available in the marketplace. Such sales in the first half of this reporting period allowed the Fund to harvest tax losses, enhancing the Fund’s income earning capability and seeking to make the portfolio more tax efficient.
Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund
The Class A Shares of the Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2021.
Credit quality positioning was the primary factor behind the Fund’s relative underperformance. Credit spreads generally narrowed, meaning that lower rated bonds outperformed as investors became increasingly comfortable accepting credit risk and sought out municipal bonds with higher yields. The Fund’s underweight in the lowest investment grade credit tier (rated BBB) detracted from performance as these securities outpaced the index. Additionally, the Fund’s overweight in AA rated bonds hurt performance compared to the index given the underperformance of this credit tier. One modest credit rating positive for the Fund’s performance, however, was the portfolio’s underweight in AAA rated securities.
Unfavorable sector exposure weighed on relative performance. The Fund’s overweight in relatively high quality local general obligation (GO) securities detracted from performance. Additionally, the Fund’s underweight in dedicated tax bonds was unfavorable.
Duration (interest rate) and yield curve positioning added value. The portfolio was underweight bonds with shorter effective durations (zero to four years), which was helpful because these less interest rate sensitive securities lagged. A related overweight in bonds with longer effective durations (eight to ten years) was beneficial, as these securities, with their heightened interest rate sensitivity, were among the best performing securities across the yield curve.
Individual security selection modestly contributed to performance compared to the index. The Fund benefited disproportionately from its longer duration holdings that carried lower investment grade credit ratings, as bonds with these characteristics were among the municipal bond market’s best performers. Holdings in tender option bonds (TOBs) were notable contributors. The Fund added these longer duration floating rate securities in the first half of the reporting period to help keep the portfolio’s overall duration at a desired level, and the securities outperformed as interest rates declined.
New portfolio additions during the reporting period focused on bonds with intermediate and longer durations and higher credit quality (AAA and AA). Additions to the portfolio came from a variety of sectors, including local GO, state appropriation, state GO, dedicated tax, health care, utility and water/sewer.
Proceeds for bond purchases largely came from shareholder inflows and bond calls and maturities. Sales activity was limited this reporting period, as the Fund sold only one pre-refunded bond to fund the purchase of a higher yielding utility bond.
Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund
The Class A Shares of the Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2021.
Favorable duration (interest rate) and yield curve positioning helped drive the Fund’s outperformance of the benchmark. Longer duration bonds, which benefited from falling municipal bond interest rates, generally performed well and consistently outpaced shorter duration bonds. Against this backdrop, the Fund’s relative overweight in both long and longer intermediate bonds and a corresponding underweight in shorter duration bonds added to the Fund’s result.
Credit positioning helped the Fund’s relative performance. During this reporting period, higher yielding, lower quality bonds generally outperformed their lower yielding, higher quality counterparts. Accordingly, overweights in lower credit quality tiers, especially among A and non-rated bonds, lifted the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund's underweight in the AAA and, to a lesser extent, AA credit tiers helped results, given these categories’ underperformance. Individual security selection in the AAA, AA, A and non-rated credit categories all added value.

Sector allocation modestly detracted from performance relative to the index. One factor underlying this performance was an underweight (relative to the S&P Municipal Bond Index) in the outperforming transportation sector. Within the sector, the Fund's underweight in toll road and port bonds, as well as in such strong performing categories as passenger and commuter rail bonds, detracted from performance. An overweight in airport bonds, however, added value. Elsewhere, the Fund was overweight the utility sector, which trailed the overall market, and its underweight of the outperforming industrial development revenue bond category further detracted from performance.
The Fund benefited from holdings in higher yielding Missouri special tax and transportation development district bonds, which outperformed the more traditional general obligation (GO) and tax-backed bonds commonly found in the national index. The Fund’s lack of state GO holdings and underweight in local GO debt lifted results, as GOs tended to underperform revenue bonds during the reporting period. An overweight in appropriation-backed securities (a financing tool somewhat more commonly used in the Missouri market) further contributed to performance, as did the Fund's overweight in the hospital and senior life care sectors.
Throughout the reporting period, the Fund maintained relatively steady credit and sector allocations. With bonds from certain sectors hurt more than others during the COVID-19 crisis driven market downturn of March and April 2020, the Fund maintained consistent exposure to disproportionately struggling categories and even incrementally added exposure when the value opportunity was attractive. As credit spreads narrowed materially over the course of the reporting period, value opportunities on many credits became less pronounced. During the full reporting period, the Fund modestly increased exposure to A rated bonds.
The Fund increased its allocation to transportation bonds, primarily by adding positions in bonds for Kansas City International Airport, which in mid-October 2020 issued debt for its modernization program. The Fund had a slight increase in its allocation to the hospital sector, primarily stemming from both new issue and secondary market purchases of Mercy Health and BJC HealthCare bonds.
Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund
The Class A Shares of the Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2021.
Unfavorable security selection was the key detractor from the Fund’s performance compared to the index. The Fund's underperformance impact came from an investment in independent power producer Energy Harbor. The Fund acquired shares in Energy Harbor when its holdings of certain municipal bonds issued by FirstEnergy Solutions was converted into Energy Harbor equity as part of FirstEnergy’s emergence from bankruptcy protection. After initially appreciating strongly following its March 2020 issuance, in July the stock suffered a correction on negative news about the predecessor company and its former parent company. Although this position bounced back in the second half of the reporting period, it detracted overall for the reporting period.
The Fund’s exposure to bonds issued by the Buckeye Tobacco Settlement Financing Authority benefited the performance. Some of the agency’s debt outstanding was refinanced in late 2019, helping the issuer’s credit rating and generating significant outperformance from these bonds, which were purchased in 2020. The Fund’s investment in Franklin County Convention Facilities Authority strongly outpaced the index, as the issuer’s fundamental outlook improved along with the reopening of the Ohio economy from restrictions triggered by the COVID-19 crisis.
Credit quality exposure and sector positioning further hampered the Fund’s relative performance. Bonds with lower credit ratings outperformed their higher quality counterparts as the economy bounced back and investors’ appetite for risk increased. Against that backdrop, the Fund’s underweight in bonds with credit ratings of BBB (the lowest of the investment grade credit quality tiers) was unfavorable given these bonds’ relatively strong results. Slightly tempering this negative performance factor, however, was the Fund’s overweight in non-rated bonds, which outperformed the index and contributed to relative results.
From a sector perspective, the Fund’s overweight in pre-refunded debt detracted from performance because these securities generally underperformed due to their typically high credit quality and short duration. The Fund’s underweight in the outperforming industrial development revenue (IDR) sector hurt performance. Investors turned to IDR bonds for their higher yields and improved fundamental outlook as the recovery from the COVID-19 crisis became more realized. Modestly offsetting these negative performance factors, however, was the Fund’s overweight in dedicated tax bonds, which similarly outperformed the index.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
Duration (interest rate) and yield curve positioning added relative value. The Fund’s duration was longer than that of the index, allowing the portfolio to better capture the benefits of generally falling rates. Additionally, the Fund’s overweight in bonds with effective durations longer than twelve years boosted results, as these securities benefited the most from the overall drop in interest rates. Simultaneously, an underweight in shorter-term securities (zero to four years) was beneficial, as these securities lagged the index.
The Fund had substantial shareholder inflows during the reporting period along with proceeds from maturing and called debt, that allowed the Fund to actively buy bonds. Amid ample supply of Ohio bonds in both the primary and secondary municipal bond markets, a broad range of investment options was available to the Fund. New purchases occurred across a wide range of sectors including transportation, state general obligation (GOs), local appropriated, dedicated tax, local GOs, higher education and water/sewer bonds. Most of the Fund’s purchases included bonds with durations in the intermediate to long range and featured higher credit ratings.
Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund
The Class A Shares of the Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2021.
The municipal bond market rallied strongly from its lows in March 2020, fueled by investors’ robust appetite for tax exempt investments and an improved credit outlook for municipal bond issuers as the COVID-19 crisis receded and restrictions eased. This rebound disproportionately favored lower quality, higher yielding municipal bonds and those in sectors that stood to benefit most from a reopening of the economy.
The Fund’s relative outperformance of the index was driven partly by its credit quality positioning. Compared to the index, the Fund had an overweight in bonds with credit ratings of BBB, the lowest investment grade credit tier, as well as in below investment grade bonds and non-rated securities. Municipal bond debt in these categories outpaced higher quality securities, which the Fund further benefited from underweighting.
Sector allocation contributed to the Fund’s outperformance relative to the index. The portfolio’s overweight in the health care sector aided performance. Underweighting state debt and local general obligation bonds was beneficial because these sectors lagged the index. In contrast, an overweight in the sales tax backed category detracted from relative performance, given that it lagged the index.
Individual security selection contributed to the Fund's performance. Because of Wisconsin’s unique municipal tax code, relatively few Wisconsin bonds are exempt from state tax. Accordingly, the Fund was positioned with meaningful exposure to debt issued by U.S. territories Guam and Puerto Rico, which may include exemption from most federal, state and local taxes. Management maintained a favorable credit outlook for certain Puerto Rico and Guam issuers and its comparatively high yielding bonds as poised to benefit from credit spread tightening from near historic wide levels reached in March 2020. Spreads compressed during this reporting period as investors’ risk appetite improved and the value of territorial bonds increased, helping make Puerto Rico and Guam bonds some of the best performers for both the municipal bond market and the Fund. The Fund’s holdings in Puerto Rico bonds were insured, and its Guam holdings were diversified across a range of issuers.
Other individual contributors included investments in both out-of-state bonds and Wisconsin holdings. In the out-of-state category, standout contributors included tobacco bonds from New York, an industrial development revenue bond from Iowa and debt issued by the City of Baltimore for its convention center. Top contributed Wisconsin bonds included health care bonds for Marshfield Clinic Health System, Beloit Health System, Bethesda Lutheran Communities and Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity.
The Fund benefited from maintaining its duration (interest rate sensitivity) slightly longer than that of the index. This stance generated a modest relative performance advantage for the Fund, helping it to more fully benefit as interest rates declined.
Purchase activity during the reporting period was limited and occurred primarily in the first half. New acquisitions included multifamily housing project bonds, Rogers Memorial Hospital revenue bonds and insured Puerto Rico highway debt. Another notable purchase was of long-dated zero-coupon Wisconsin Center District dedicated-tax revenue bonds, which were bought to replace similar securi-

ties called by this issuer during the first half of the reporting period. In the second half of the reporting period, the Fund’s sole purchase entailed bonds of Three Pillars Senior Living Communities. The Fund’s purchases were typically longer in maturity, which allowed management to manage the portfolio’s duration and preserve its desired level of interest rate sensitivity.

Risk Considerations and Dividend Information    
Risk Considerations
Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Debt or fixed income securities such as those held by the Funds, are subject to market risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, call risk, state concentration risk, tax risk, and income risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Credit risk refers to an issuers ability to make interest and principal payments when due. Below investment grade or high yield debt securities are subject to liquidity risk and heightened credit risk. The Funds' use of inverse floaters creates effective leverage. Leverage involves the risk that the Funds could lose more than its original investment and also increases the Funds' exposure to volatility and interest rate risk.
Dividend Information
Each Fund seeks to pay regular monthly dividends out of its net investment income at a rate that reflects its past and projected net income performance. To permit each Fund to maintain a more stable monthly dividend, the Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net income actually earned by the Fund during the period. Distributions to shareholders are determined on a tax basis, which may differ from amounts recorded in the accounting records. In instances where the monthly dividend exceeds the earned net investment income, the Fund would report a negative undistributed net ordinary income. Refer to Note 6  –  Income Tax Information for additional information regarding the amounts of undistributed net ordinary income and undistributed net long-term capital gains and the character of the actual distributions paid by the Fund during the period.
All monthly dividends paid by each Fund during the current reporting period were paid from net investment income. If a portion of the Fund’s monthly distributions is sourced or comprised of elements other than net investment income, including capital gains and/or a return of capital, shareholders will be notified of those sources. For financial reporting purposes, the per share amounts of each Fund’s distributions for the reporting period are presented in this report’s Financial Highlights. For income tax purposes, distribution information for each Fund as of its most recent tax year end is presented in Note 6  –  Income Tax Information within the Notes to Financial Statements of this report.

Fund Performance, Expense Ratios and Effective Leverage Ratios    
The Fund Performance, Expense Ratios and Effective Leverage Ratios for each Fund are shown within this section of the report.
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. Refer to the Financial Highlights later in this report for the Fund's expense ratios as of the end of the reporting period.
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 9—Borrowing Arrangements, are excluded from the calculation of a Fund’s effective leverage ratio.

Yields    as of May 31, 2021
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 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.

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

Expense Examples    
As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including up-front and back-end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees, where applicable; and other Fund expenses. The Examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Examples below do not include the interest and related expenses from inverse floaters that are reflected in the financial statements later within this report, when applicable.
The Examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the period ended May 31, 2021.
The beginning of the period is December 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.

To the Board of Trustees of Nuveen Multistate Trust IV and Shareholders of 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
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of 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 (six of the funds constituting Nuveen Multistate Trust IV, hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") as of May 31, 2021, the related statements of operations for the year ended May 31, 2021, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended May 31, 2021, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended May 31, 2021 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of May 31, 2021, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended May 31, 2021 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended May 31, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

(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. Optional Call Provisions are not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm.  
(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.

(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. Optional Call Provisions are not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm.  
(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. Ratings are not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm.  
(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.

Notes to Financial Statements    
1.  General Information
Trust and Fund Information
The Nuveen Multistate Trust IV (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 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. 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.
The end of the reporting period for the Funds is May 31, 2021, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021 (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 Shares 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. The Funds will issue Class C2 Shares upon the exchange of Class C2 Shares from another Nuveen mutual 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 and Class C2 Shares are subject to a CDSC of 1% if redeemed within twelve months of purchase. Class C and Class C2 Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years (ten years prior to March 1, 2021) after purchase. Class I Shares are sold without an up-front 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.

Table of Contents
Compensation
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 Funds' Board of Trustees (the "Board") 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.
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 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.
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, 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 change 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 amendments as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has not yet elected to apply the amendments, is continuously evaluating the potential effect a discontinuation of LIBOR could have on the Funds’ investments and has currently determined that it is unlikely the ASU’s adoption will have a significant impact on the Funds’ financial statements and various filings.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Adopts New Rules to Modernize Fund Valuation Framework
In December 2020, the SEC voted to adopt a new rule governing fund valuation practices. New Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, which requires a fund to fair value a security when market quotation are not readily available. The SEC also adopted new Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act, which sets forth the recordkeeping requirements associated with fair value determinations. Finally, the SEC is rescinding previously issued guidance on related issues, including the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing

of fund investments. Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4 became effective on March 8, 2021, with a compliance date of September 8, 2022. A fund may voluntarily comply with the rules after the effective date, and in advance of the compliance date, under certain conditions. Management is currently assessing the impact of these provisions on the Funds' financial statements.
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 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:
Equity securities and exchange-traded funds listed or traded on a national market or exchange are valued based on their sale price at the official close of business of such market or exchange on the valuation date. Foreign equity securities and registered investment companies that trade on a foreign exchange are valued at the last sale price or official closing price reported on the exchange where traded and converted to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange on the date of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and that valuation adjustments are not applied, they are generally classified as Level 1. If there is no official close of business, then the latest available sale price is utilized. If no sales are reported, then the mean of the latest available bid and ask prices is utilized and these securities are generally classified as Level 2.
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:

The Funds hold liabilities in floating rate obligations and preferred shares, where applicable, which are not reflected in the tables above. The fair values of the Funds’ liabilities for floating rate obligations approximate their liquidation values. Floating rate obligations are generally classified as Level 2 and further described in Note 4 - Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives. The fair values of the Funds’ liabilities for preferred shares approximate their liquidation preference. Preferred shares are generally classified as Level 2 and further described in Note 5 - Fund Shares.
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 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
121

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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.
As of the end of the reporting period, the aggregate value of Floaters issued by each Fund’s TOB Trust for self-deposited Inverse Floaters and externally-deposited Inverse Floaters was as follows:
Floating Rate Obligations Outstanding Kansas Kentucky Michigan Missouri Ohio Wisconsin
Floating rate obligations: self-deposited Inverse Floaters $ — $29,845,000 $15,200,000 $ — $  — $8,020,000
Floating rate obligations: externally-deposited Inverse Floaters  — 7,190,000 3,150,000  — 13,125,000 750,000
Total $ — $37,035,000 $18,350,000 $ — $13,125,000 $8,770,000
During the current fiscal period, the average amount of Floaters (including any borrowings from a Liquidity Provider) outstanding, and the average annual interest rates and fees related to self-deposited Inverse Floaters, were as follows:
Self-Deposited Inverse Floaters Kansas Kentucky Michigan Missouri Ohio Wisconsin
Average floating rate obligations outstanding $ — $29,845,000 $12,294,521 $ — $ — $8,020,000
Average annual interest rate and fees  —% 0.69% 0.62%  —%  —% 0.68%
TOB Trusts are supported by a liquidity facility provided by a Liquidity Provider pursuant to which the Liquidity Provider agrees, in the event that Floaters are (a) tendered to the Trustee for remarketing and the remarketing does not occur, or (b) subject to mandatory tender pursuant to the terms of the TOB Trust agreement, to either purchase Floaters or to provide the Trustee with an advance from a loan facility to fund the purchase of Floaters by the TOB Trust. In certain circumstances, the Liquidity Provider may otherwise elect to have the Trustee sell the Underlying Bond to retire the Floaters that were tendered and not remarketed prior to providing such a loan. In these circumstances, the Liquidity Provider remains obligated to provide a loan to the extent that the proceeds of the sale of the Underlying Bond are not sufficient to pay the purchase price of the Floaters.
The size of the commitment under the loan facility for a given TOB Trust is at least equal to the balance of that TOB Trust’s outstanding Floaters plus any accrued interest. In consideration of the loan facility, fee schedules are in place and are charged by the Liquidity Provider(s). Any loans made by the Liquidity Provider will be secured by the purchased Floaters held by the TOB Trust. Interest paid on any outstanding loan balances will be effectively borne by the Fund that owns the Inverse Floaters of the TOB Trust that has incurred the borrowing and may be at a rate that is greater than the rate that would have been paid had the Floaters been successfully remarketed.
As described above, any amounts outstanding under a liquidity facility are recognized as a component of “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by the Fund holding the corresponding Inverse Floaters issued by the borrowing TOB Trust. As of the end of the reporting period, there were no loans outstanding under any such facility.
Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a “recourse arrangement”) (TOB Trusts involving such agreements are referred to herein as “Recourse Trusts”), under which a Fund agrees to reimburse the Liquidity Provider for the Trust’s Floaters, in certain circumstances, for the amount (if any) by which the liquidation value of the Underlying Bond held by the TOB Trust may fall short of the sum of the liquidation value of the Floaters issued by the TOB Trust plus any amounts borrowed by the TOB Trust from the Liquidity Provider, plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a Fund’s potential exposure to losses related to or on an Inverse Floater may increase beyond the value of
122


Table of Contents
the Inverse Floater as a Fund may potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the Floaters or the Liquidity Provider. Any such shortfall amount in the aggregate is recognized as “Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of the end of the reporting period, each Fund maximum exposure to the Floaters issued by Recourse Trusts for self-deposited Inverse Floaters and externally-deposited Inverse Floaters was as follows:
Floating Rate Obligations - Recourse Trusts Kansas Kentucky Michigan Missouri Ohio Wisconsin
Maximum exposure to Recourse Trusts: self-deposited Inverse Floaters $ — $29,845,000 $15,200,000 $ — $  — $8,020,000
Maximum exposure to Recourse Trusts: externally-deposited Inverse Floaters  — 7,190,000 3,150,000  — 13,125,000 750,000
Total $ — $37,035,000 $18,350,000 $ — $13,125,000 $8,770,000
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.
Investment Transactions
Long-term purchases and sales (including maturities) during the current fiscal period, were as follows:
  Kansas Kentucky Michigan Missouri Ohio Wisconsin
Purchases $35,546,212 $54,124,851 $93,513,134 $127,069,531 $121,762,641 $ 9,536,841
Sales and maturities 15,988,988 17,015,284 13,485,540 34,966,526 42,709,227 23,739,371
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.

Table of Contents
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 May 31, 2021.

7.  Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees
Each Fund’s management fee compensates the Adviser for the overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.
Each Fund’s management fee consists of two components  –  a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within each individual Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables each Fund’s shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated according to the following schedule:
Average Daily Net Assets Kansas Kentucky Michigan Missouri Ohio Wisconsin
For the first $125 million 0.3500% 0.3500% 0.3500% 0.3500% 0.3500% 0.3500%
For the next $125 million 0.3375 0.3375 0.3375 0.3375 0.3375 0.3375
For the next $250 million 0.3250 0.3250 0.3250 0.3250 0.3250 0.3250
For the next $500 million 0.3125 0.3125 0.3125 0.3125 0.3125 0.3125
For the next $1 billion 0.3000 0.3000 0.3000 0.3000 0.3000 0.3000
For the next $3 billion 0.2750 0.2750 0.2750 0.2750 0.2750 0.2750
For the next $5 billion 0.2500 0.2500 0.2500 0.2500 0.2500 0.2500
For net assets over $10 billion 0.2375 0.2375 0.2375 0.2375 0.2375 0.2375
The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated according to the following schedule:
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 May 31, 2021, the complex-level fee for each Fund was as follows:
128


Table of Contents
Fund Complex-Level Fee
Kansas 0.1542%
Kentucky 0.1542%
Michigan 0.1542%
Missouri 0.1628%
Ohio 0.1576%
Wisconsin 0.1542%
The Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses for Ohio 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 0.75% of the average daily net assets of any class of Fund shares. The expense limitation may be terminated or modified only with the approval of shareholders of the Fund.
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 C2 Shares incur a 0.55% annual 12b-1distribution 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 Missouri
Purchases $2,343,632
Sales 975,870
Realized gain (loss) (68,824)
During the current fiscal period, the Distributor, 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 (Unaudited) $34,904,687 $35,559,481 $41,062,257 $99,872,467 $66,596,539 $3,569,159

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:
  Kansas Kentucky Michigan Missouri Ohio Wisconsin
Commission advances (Unaudited) $164,466 $116,045 $169,506 $543,388 $310,611 $70
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:
  Kansas Kentucky Michigan Missouri Ohio Wisconsin
12b-1 fees retained (Unaudited) $19,957 $18,316 $17,495 $47,205 $24,456 $15,067

  Kansas Kentucky Michigan Missouri Ohio Wisconsin
CDSC retained (Unaudited) $15,393 $4,450 $1,196 $20,141 $20,213 $5,945
8.  Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, each Fund enters into a variety of agreements that may expose the Fund to some risk of loss. These could include recourse arrangements for certain TOB Trusts and certain agreements related to preferred shares, which are each described elsewhere in these Notes to Financial Statements. The risk of future loss arising from such agreements, while not quantifiable, is expected to be remote. As of the end of the reporting period, the Funds did not have any unfunded commitments.
From time to time, the Funds may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of the Funds’ rights under contracts. As of the end of the reporting period, the Funds are not subject to any material legal proceedings.
9.  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. Interest expense incurred by the Participating Funds, when applicable, is recognized as a component of “Interest expense” on the Statement of Operations. Participating Funds paid administration, legal and arrangement fees, which are recognized as a component of “Interest expense” on the Statement of Operations, and along with commitment fees, have been allocated among such Participating Funds based upon the relative proportions of the facility’s aggregate capacity reserved for them and other factors deemed relevant by the Adviser and the Board of each Participating Fund.
During the current fiscal period, the following Fund utilized this facility. The Fund’s maximum outstanding balance during the utilization period was as follows:
  Wisconsin
Maximum outstanding balance $1,301,400
During the Fund’s utilization period(s) during the current fiscal period, the average daily balance outstanding and average annual interest rate on the Borrowings were as follows:
  Wisconsin
Utilization period (days outstanding) 4
Average daily balance outstanding $1,301,400
Average annual interest rate 1.39%
Borrowings outstanding as of the end of the reporting period, if any, are recognized as “Borrowings” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.

10.  Subsequent Events
Committed Line of Credit
During June 2021, the Participating Funds renewed the standby credit facility through June 2022. In conjunction with this renewal the commitment amount increased from $2.405 billion to $2.635 billion and the interest rate changed from the higher of a) LIBOR plus 1.25% or b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.25% to the higher of a) OBFR (Overnight Bank Funding Rate) plus 1.20% or b) the Fed Funds Rate plus 1.20%. The Participating Funds also incurred a 0.05% upfront fee on the increase of the commitment amount. All other terms remain relatively unchanged.
Class C2 Shares
Class C2 Shares will be converted to Class A Shares after the close of business on June 4, 2021.

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.
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.
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.
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 Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average represents the overall average of returns for funds from multiple states with a wide variety of municipal market conditions, making direct comparisons less meaningful. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charge.
Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: A fund’s Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash and accrued earnings) less its total liabilities. For funds with multiple classes, Net Assets are determined separately for each share class. NAV per share is equal to the fund’s (or share class’) Net Assets divided by its number of shares outstanding.
Pre-Refunding: Pre-Refunding, also known as advanced refundings or refinancings, is a procedure used by state and local governments to refinance municipal bonds to lower interest expenses. The issuer sells new bonds with a lower yield and uses the proceeds to buy U.S. Treasury securities, the interest from which is used to make payments on the higher-yielding bonds. Because of this collateral, pre-refunding generally raises a bond’s credit rating and thus its value.
S&P Municipal Bond 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.
Zero Coupon Bond: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. 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.

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process    
(Unaudited)
At a meeting held on May 25-27, 2021 (the “May Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board” and each Trustee, a “Board Member”) of the Funds, which is comprised entirely of Board Members who are not “interested persons” (as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”)) (the “Independent Board Members”), approved, for each Fund, the renewal of the management agreement (each, an “Investment Management Agreement”) with Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) pursuant to which the Adviser serves as investment adviser to such Fund and the sub-advisory agreement (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) pursuant to which the Sub-Adviser serves as the sub-adviser to such Fund. Although the 1940 Act requires that continuances of the Advisory Agreements (as defined below) be approved by the in-person vote of a majority of the Independent Board Members, the May Meeting was held virtually through the internet in view of the health risks associated with holding an in-person meeting during the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental restrictions on gatherings. The May Meeting was held virtually in reliance on certain exemptive relief the Securities and Exchange Commission provided to registered investment companies providing temporary relief from the in-person voting requirements of the 1940 Act with respect to the approval of a fund’s advisory agreement in light of these challenges.
Following up to an initial two-year period, the Board considers the renewal of each Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement on behalf of the applicable Fund on an annual basis. The Investment Management Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements” and the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are collectively, the “Fund Advisers” and each, a “Fund Adviser.” Throughout the year, the Board and its committees meet regularly and, at these meetings, receive regular and/or special reports that cover an extensive array of topics and information that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the advisory agreements for the Nuveen funds. Such information may address, among other things, fund performance and risk information; the Adviser’s strategic plans; product initiatives for various funds; the review of the funds and investment teams; compliance, regulatory and risk management matters; the trading practices of the various sub-advisers to the funds; valuation of securities; fund expenses; payments to financial intermediaries, including 12b-1 fees and sub-transfer agency fees, if applicable; securities lending; liquidity management; and overall market and regulatory developments. The Board also seeks to meet periodically with the Nuveen funds’ sub-advisers and portfolio teams, when feasible.
In addition, in connection with the annual consideration of the advisory agreements for the Nuveen funds, the Board, through its independent legal counsel, requested and received extensive materials and information prepared specifically for its annual consideration of the renewal of such advisory agreements by the Adviser and by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data. The materials cover a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, a description of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Fund Advisers; a review of product actions taken during 2020 (such as mergers, liquidations, fund launches, changes to investment teams, and changes to investment policies); a review of each sub-adviser to the Nuveen funds and the applicable investment teams; an analysis of fund performance in absolute terms and as compared to the performance of certain peer funds and benchmarks with a focus on any performance outliers; an analysis of the fees and expense ratios of the Nuveen funds in absolute terms and as compared to those of certain peer funds with a focus on any expense outliers; a review of management fee schedules; a review of temporary and permanent expense caps and fee waivers for open-end funds (as applicable) and related expense savings; a description of portfolio manager compensation; a review of the performance of various service providers; a description of various initiatives Nuveen had undertaken or continued during the year for the benefit of particular fund(s) and/or the complex; a description of the profitability or financial data of Nuveen and the sub-advisers to the Nuveen funds; and a description of indirect benefits received by the Adviser and the sub-advisers as a result of their relationships with the Nuveen funds. The information prepared specifically for the annual review supplemented the information provided to the Board and its committees and the evaluations of the Nuveen funds by the Board and its committees during the year.
In continuing its practice, the Board met prior to the May Meeting to begin its considerations of the renewal of the Advisory Agreements. Accordingly, on April 21-22, 2021 (the “April Meeting”), the Board met to review and discuss, in part, the performance of the Nuveen funds and the Adviser’s evaluation of each sub-adviser to the Nuveen funds. At the April Meeting, the Board Members asked questions and requested additional information that was provided for the May Meeting. The Board reviewed fund performance throughout the year and in its review, the Board recognized the volatile market conditions that occurred in early 2020 arising, in part, from the public health crisis caused by the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 and the resulting impact on a fund’s performance for 2020 and thereafter. Accordingly, the Board considered performance data measured over various periods of time as summarized in more detail below.
The Independent Board Members considered the review of the advisory agreements for the Nuveen funds to be an ongoing process and employed the accumulated information, knowledge and experience the Board Members had gained during their tenure on the boards governing the Nuveen funds and working with the Adviser and sub-advisers in their review of the advisory agreements. The contractual arrangements are a result of multiple years of review, negotiation and information provided in connection with the boards’ annual review of the Nuveen funds’ advisory arrangements and oversight of the Nuveen funds.

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
The Independent Board Members were advised by independent legal counsel during the annual review process as well as throughout the year, including meeting in executive sessions with such counsel at which no representatives from the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser were present. In connection with their annual review, the Independent Board Members also received a memorandum from independent legal counsel outlining their fiduciary duties and legal standards in reviewing the Advisory Agreements.
The Board’s decision to renew the Advisory Agreements was not based on a single identified factor, but rather the decision reflected the comprehensive consideration of all the information provided throughout the year and at the April and May Meetings, and each Board Member may have attributed different levels of importance to the various factors and information considered in connection with the approval process. The following summarizes the principal factors and information, but not all the factors, the Board considered in deciding to renew the Advisory Agreements as well as the Board’s conclusions.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In evaluating the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the applicable Fund Adviser’s services provided to the respective Fund with particular focus on the services and enhancements to such services provided during the last year. The Independent Board Members considered the Investment Management Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements separately in the course of their review. With this approach, they considered the respective roles of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser in providing services to the Funds.
The Board recognized that the Nuveen funds operate in a highly regulated industry and, therefore, the Adviser has provided a wide array of management, oversight and administrative services to manage and operate the funds, and the scope and complexity of these services have expanded over time as a result of, among other things, regulatory and other developments. The Board accordingly considered the extensive resources, tools and capabilities available to the Adviser to operate and manage the Nuveen funds. With respect to the Adviser, as a general matter, some of these services it and its affiliates provide to the Nuveen funds include, but are not limited to: product management (such as setting dividends, analyzing fund expenses, providing competitive analysis, and providing due diligence support); investment oversight, risk management and securities valuation services (such as overseeing and reviewing the various sub-advisers to the Nuveen funds and their investment teams; analyzing fund performance and risk data; overseeing operational and risk management; participating in financial statement, marketing and risk disclosures; providing daily valuation services and developing related valuation policies, procedures and methodologies; periodic testing of audit and regulatory requirements; participating in product development and management processes; participating in leverage management, liquidity monitoring and counterparty credit oversight; providing due diligence and overseeing fund accounting and custody providers; overseeing third party pricing services and periodically assessing investment and liquidity risks); fund administration (such as preparing fund tax returns and other tax compliance services; preparing regulatory filings; overseeing the funds’ independent public accountants and other service providers; analyzing products and enhancements; and managing fund budgets and expenses); oversight of shareholder services and transfer agency functions (such as overseeing transfer agent service providers which include registered shareholder customer service and transaction processing; overseeing proxy solicitation and tabulation services; and overseeing the production and distribution of financial reports by service providers); Board relations services (such as organizing and administering Board and committee meetings, preparing various reports to the Board and committees and providing other support services); compliance and regulatory oversight services (such as managing compliance policies; monitoring compliance with applicable fund policies and laws and regulations; devising internal compliance programs and a framework to review and assess compliance programs; evaluating the compliance programs of the various sub-advisers to the Nuveen funds and certain other service providers; responding to regulatory requests; and preparing compliance training materials); and legal support and oversight of outside law firms (such as helping to prepare and file registration statements and proxy statements; overseeing fund activities and providing legal interpretations regarding such activities; maintaining regulatory registrations and negotiating agreements with other fund service providers; and monitoring changes in regulatory requirements and commenting on rule proposals impacting investment companies).
In evaluating services, the Board reviewed various highlights of the initiatives the Adviser and its affiliates have undertaken or continued in 2020 to benefit the Nuveen complex and/or particular Nuveen funds and meet the requirements of an increasingly complex regulatory environment including, but not limited to:
Centralization of Functions  –  ongoing initiatives to centralize investment leadership, market approach and shared support functions within Nuveen and its affiliates in seeking to operate more effectively the business and enhance the services to the Nuveen funds;
Fund Improvements and Product Management Initiatives  –  continuing to proactively manage the Nuveen fund complex as a whole and at the individual fund level with an aim to continually improve product platforms and investment strategies to better serve shareholders through, among other things, rationalizing the product line and gaining efficiencies through mergers, repositionings and liquidations; launching new funds; reviewing and updating investment policies and benchmarks; and modifying portfolio management teams for various funds;
Investment Team Integrations  –  continuing to integrate and adjust the members of certain investment teams, in part, to allow greater access to tools and resources within the Nuveen organization and its affiliates;
Capital Initiatives  –  continuing to invest capital to support new Nuveen funds with initial capital as well as to support existing funds and facilitate regulatory or logistical changes;
136


Table of Contents
Liquidity Management  –  continuing to operate the liquidity management program of the applicable Nuveen funds including monitoring daily their liquidity profile and assessing annually the overall liquidity risk of such funds;
Compliance Program Initiatives  –  continuing efforts to mitigate compliance risk, increase operating efficiencies, implement enhancements to strengthen key compliance program elements and support international business growth and other corporate objectives;
Investment Oversight  –  preparing reports to the Board addressing, among other things, fund performance; market conditions; investment teams; new products; changes to mandates, policies and benchmarks; and other management proposals;
Risk Management and Valuation Services - continuing to oversee and manage risk including, among other things, conducting daily calculations and monitoring of risk measures across the Nuveen funds, instituting appropriate investment risk controls, providing risk reporting throughout the firm, participating in internal oversight committees, and continuing to implement an operational risk framework that seeks to provide greater transparency of operational risk matters across the complex as well as provide multiple other risk programs that seek to provide a more disciplined and consistent approach to identifying and mitigating Nuveen’s operational risks. Further, the securities valuation team continues, among other things, to oversee the daily valuation process of the portfolio securities of the funds, maintains the valuation policies and procedures, facilitates valuation committee meetings, manages relationships with pricing vendors, and prepares relevant valuation reports and designs methods to simplify and enhance valuation workflow within the organization;
Regulatory Matters  –  continuing efforts to monitor regulatory trends and advocate on behalf of Nuveen and/or the Nuveen funds, to implement and comply with new or revised rules and mandates and to respond to regulatory inquiries and exams;
Government Relations  –  continuing efforts of various Nuveen teams and Nuveen’s affiliates to develop policy positions on a broad range of issues that may impact the Nuveen funds, advocate and communicate these positions to lawmakers and other regulatory authorities and work with trade associations to ensure these positions are represented;
Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery and Information Security  –  continuing efforts of Nuveen to periodically test and update business continuity and disaster recovery plans and, together with its affiliates, to maintain an information security program designed to identify and manage information security risks, and provide reports to the Board, at least annually, addressing, among other things, management’s security risk assessment, cyber risk profile, potential impact of new or revised laws and regulations, incident tracking and other relevant information technology risk-related reports; and
Dividend Management Services  –  continuing to manage the dividends among the varying types of Nuveen funds within the Nuveen complex to be consistent with the respective fund’s product design and positioning in striving to deliver those earnings to shareholders in a relatively consistent manner over time as well as assisting in the development of new products or the restructuring of existing funds.
In its review, the Board recognized that Nuveen’s risk management, compliance, technology and operations capabilities are all integral to providing its investment management services to the Nuveen funds. Further, the Board noted the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Nuveen fund, as each Nuveen fund is a part of a large fund complex with a variety of investment disciplines, capabilities, expertise and resources available to navigate and support the funds including during stressed times as occurred in the market in the first half of 2020. The Board recognized the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during the year and the adaptations required by service providers to continue to deliver their services to the Nuveen funds, including working remotely. In this regard, the Board noted the ability of the Adviser and the various sub-advisers to the Nuveen funds to provide continuously their services notwithstanding the significant disruptions caused by the pandemic. In addition to the services provided by the Adviser, the Board also considered the risks borne by the Adviser and its affiliates in managing the Nuveen funds, including entrepreneurial, operational, reputational, regulatory and litigation risks.
The Board further considered the division of responsibilities between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and recognized that the Sub-Adviser and its investment personnel generally are responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio under the oversight of the Adviser and the Board. The Board considered an analysis of the Sub-Adviser provided by the Adviser which included, among other things, the assets under management of the applicable investment team and changes thereto, a summary of the applicable investment team and changes thereto, the investment process and philosophy of the applicable investment team, the performance of the Nuveen funds sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser over various periods of time and a summary of any significant policy and/or other changes to the Nuveen funds sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser. The Board further considered at the May Meeting or prior meetings evaluations of the Sub-Adviser’s compliance programs and trade execution. The Board also considered the structure of investment personnel compensation programs and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the respective Nuveen funds. The Board noted that the Adviser recommended the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
Based on its review, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the respective Funds under each applicable Advisory Agreement.

B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and Fund Advisers
In evaluating the quality of the services provided by the Fund Advisers, the Board also received and considered a variety of investment performance data of the Nuveen funds they advise. In evaluating performance, the Board recognized that performance data may differ significantly depending on the ending date selected, particularly during periods of market volatility, and therefore considered performance over a variety of time periods that may include full market cycles. In this regard, the Board reviewed, among other things, Fund performance over the quarter, one-, three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2020 as well as performance data periods ending nearer to the May Meeting, including the quarter, one-, three- and five-year periods ending March 31, 2021 and May 14, 2021. The performance data was based on Class A shares; however, the performance of other classes should be substantially similar as they invest in the same portfolio of securities and differences in performance among the classes would be principally attributed to the variations in the expense structures of the classes. The performance data prepared for the annual review of the advisory agreements for the Nuveen funds supplemented the fund performance data that the Board received throughout the year at its meetings representing differing time periods. In its review, the Board took into account the discussions with representatives of the Adviser; the Adviser’s analysis regarding fund performance that occurred at these Board meetings with particular focus on funds that were considered performance outliers (both overperformance and underperformance); the factors contributing to the performance; and any recommendations or steps taken to address performance concerns. Regardless of the time period reviewed by the Board, the Board recognized that shareholders may evaluate performance based on their own holding periods which may differ from the periods reviewed by the Board and lead to differing results.
In its review, the Board reviewed both absolute and relative fund performance during the annual review over the various time periods. With respect to the latter, the Board considered fund performance in comparison to the performance of peer funds (the “Performance Peer Group”) and recognized and/or customized benchmarks (i.e., generally benchmarks derived from multiple recognized benchmarks). For Nuveen funds that had changes in portfolio managers since 2018 or significant changes, among other things, to their investment strategies or policies since 2019, the Board reviewed certain performance data comparing the performance of such funds before and after such changes. In considering performance data, the Board is aware of certain inherent limitations with such data, including that differences between the objective(s), strategies and other characteristics of the Nuveen funds compared to the respective Performance Peer Group and/or benchmark(s) (such as differences in the use of leverage) as well as differences in the composition of the Performance Peer Group over time will necessarily contribute to differences in performance results and limit the value of the comparative information. To assist the Board in its review of the comparability of the relative performance, the Adviser has ranked the relevancy of the peer group to the funds as low, medium or high.
The Board also evaluated performance in light of various relevant factors, including, among other things, general market conditions, issuer-specific information, asset class information, leverage and fund cash flows. In relation to general market conditions, the Board recognized the significant market decline in the early part of 2020 in connection with, among other things, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and that such a period of underperformance and market volatility may significantly weigh on the longer term performance results. Accordingly, depending on the facts and circumstances including any differences between the respective Nuveen fund and its benchmark and/or Performance Peer Group, the Board may be satisfied with a fund’s performance notwithstanding that its performance may be below that of its benchmark or peer group for certain periods. However, with respect to any Nuveen funds for which the Board had identified performance issues, the Board monitors such funds closely until performance improves, discusses with the Adviser the reasons for such results, considers whether any steps are necessary or appropriate to address such issues, and reviews the results of any steps undertaken.
The Board’s determinations with respect to each Fund are summarized below.
For Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund (the “Kansas Fund”), the Board noted that the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark and the Fund ranked in the fourth quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020. Although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2021, the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one-year period ended March 31, 2021. In addition, although the Fund ranked in the fourth quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the three-year period ended March 31, 2021, the Fund ranked in the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-year period ended March 31, 2021 and the third quartile for the five-year period ended March 31, 2021. Similarly, for the periods ended May 14, 2021, although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods, the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one-year period. The Fund also ranked in the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-year period, the fourth quartile for the three-year period and the third quartile for the five-year period ended May 14, 2021. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.
For Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund (the “Kentucky Fund”), the Board noted that although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020, the Fund ranked in the third quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-year period ended December 31, 2020 and second quartile for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020. In addition, the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2021 and was approximately the same as the performance of its benchmark for the one-year period ended March 31, 2021. The Fund also ranked in the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2021. Further, for the periods ended May 14, 2021, although the

Further, for the periods ended May 14, 2021, although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods, the Fund ranked in the third quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-year period and first quartile for the three- and five-year periods. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.
For Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund (the “Missouri Fund”), the Board noted that although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020, the Fund ranked in the second quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-year period ended December 31, 2020 and the first quartile for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020. Similarly, the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2021, but the Fund ranked in the second quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-year period ended March 31, 2021 and the first quartile for the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2021. For the periods ended May 14, 2021, the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods, but the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one-year period and ranked in the second quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-year period and the first quartile for the three- and five-year periods. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.
For Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund (the “Ohio Fund”), the Board noted that although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020, the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one-year period ended December 31, 2020 and ranked in the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2020 and second quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the five-year period ended December 31, 2020. Although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2021, the Fund ranked in the second quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-year period ended March 31, 2021 and the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the three- and five-year periods. In addition, for periods ended May 14, 2021, although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods, the Fund ranked in the third quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-year period, the first quartile for the three-year period and the second quartile for the five-year period. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.
For Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund (the “Wisconsin Fund”), the Board noted that although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020 and the Fund ranked in the fourth quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-year period ended December 31, 2020, it ranked in the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020. In addition, although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the five-year period ended March 31, 2021, the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods ended March 31, 2021 and ranked in the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2021. Further, for the periods ended May 14, 2021, although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods, the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one-year period and ranked in the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-, three- and five-year periods. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.
C. Fees, Expenses and Profitability
1. Fees and Expenses
As part of its annual review, the Board considered the contractual management fee and net management fee (the management fee after taking into consideration fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any) paid by a Nuveen fund to the Adviser in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board also considered the total operating expense ratio of each fund before and after any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. More specifically, the Independent Board Members reviewed, among other things, each fund’s gross and net management fee rates (i.e., before and after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any) and net total expense ratio in relation to those of a comparable universe of funds (the “Peer Universe”) and/or to a more focused subset of comparable funds (the “Peer Group”) established by Broadridge (subject to certain exceptions). The Independent Board Members reviewed the methodology Broadridge employed to establish its Peer Universe and Peer Group and recognized that differences between the applicable fund and its respective Peer Universe and/or Peer Group as well as changes to the composition of the Peer Group and/or Peer Universe from year to year may limit some of the value of the comparative data. The Independent Board Members also considered a fund’s operating expense ratio as it more directly reflected the shareholder’s costs in investing in the respective fund.

In their review, the Independent Board Members considered, in particular, each fund with a net expense ratio of six basis points or higher compared to that of its peer average (each, an “Expense Outlier Fund”) and an analysis as to the factors contributing to each such fund’s higher relative net expense ratio. Accordingly, in reviewing the comparative data between a fund and its peers, the Board generally considered the fund’s net expense ratio and fees to be higher if they were over 10 basis points higher, slightly higher if they were 6 to 10 basis points higher, in line if they were within approximately 5 basis points higher than the peer average and below if they were below the peer average of the Peer Group. The Independent Board Members also considered, in relevant part, a fund’s net management fee and net total expense ratio in light of its performance history.
In their review of the fee arrangements for the Nuveen funds, the Independent Board Members considered the management fee schedules, including the complex-wide and fund-level breakpoint schedules, and the expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers provided by Nuveen for each fund, as applicable. The Board noted that across the Nuveen fund complex, the complex-wide fee breakpoints reduced fees by approximately $58.4 million and fund-level breakpoints reduced fees by approximately $69.6 million in 2020. Further, fee caps and waivers for all applicable Nuveen funds saved approximately an additional $13.2 million in fees for shareholders in 2020.
With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board also considered the sub-advisory fee schedule paid to the Sub-Adviser in light of the sub-advisory services provided to the respective Fund, the breakpoint schedule and comparative data of the fees the Sub-Adviser charges to other clients, if any. In its review, the Board recognized that the compensation paid to the Sub-Adviser is the responsibility of the Adviser, not the Funds.
The Independent Board Members noted that (a) the Kansas Fund, the Kentucky Fund and the Michigan Fund each had a net management fee that was slightly higher than the peer average, but a net expense ratio that was below the peer average; (b) the Missouri Fund had a net management fee that was higher than the peer average, but a net expense ratio that was below the peer average; (c) the Ohio Fund had a net management fee that was in line with the peer average and a net expense ratio that was below the peer average; and (d) the Wisconsin Fund had a net management fee that was higher than the peer average, but a net expense ratio that was in line with the peer average.
Based on its review of the information provided, the Board determined that each Fund’s management fees (as applicable) to a Fund Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund.
2. Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients
In determining the appropriateness of fees, the Board also considered information regarding the fee rates the respective Fund Advisers charged to certain other types of clients and the type of services provided to these other clients. With respect to the Adviser and/or the Sub-Adviser, such other clients may include retail and institutional managed accounts, passively managed exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser that are offered by another fund complex and municipal managed accounts offered by an unaffiliated adviser. With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board reviewed, among other things, the fee range and average fee of municipal retail advisory accounts and municipal institutional accounts as well as the sub-advisory fee the Sub-Adviser received for serving as sub-adviser to passive ETFs offered outside the Nuveen family.
In considering the fee data of other clients, the Board recognized, among other things, the differences in the amount, type and level of services provided to the Nuveen funds relative to other clients as well as the differences in portfolio investment policies, investor profiles, account sizes and regulatory requirements, all of which contribute to the variations in the fee schedules. The Board recognized the breadth of services the Adviser had provided to the Nuveen funds compared to the other types of clients as the funds operate in a highly regulated industry with increasing regulatory requirements as well as the increased entrepreneurial, legal and regulatory risks that the Adviser incurs in sponsoring and managing the funds. Further, with respect to ETFs, the Board considered that Nuveen ETFs are passively managed compared to the active management of the other Nuveen funds which contributed to the differences in fee levels between the Nuveen ETFs and other Nuveen funds. In general, higher fee levels reflect higher levels of service provided by the Adviser, increased investment management complexity, greater product management requirements, and higher levels of business risk or some combination of these factors. The Board further considered that the Sub-Adviser’s fee is essentially for portfolio management services and therefore more comparable to the fees it receives for retail wrap accounts and other external sub-advisory mandates. The Board concluded the varying levels of fees were justified given, among other things, the inherent differences in the products and the level of services provided to the Nuveen funds versus other clients, the differing regulatory requirements and legal liabilities and the entrepreneurial, legal and regulatory risks incurred in sponsoring and advising a registered investment company.
3. Profitability of Fund Advisers
In their review, the Independent Board Members considered information regarding Nuveen’s level of profitability for its advisory services to the Nuveen funds for the calendar years 2020 and 2019. The Board reviewed, among other things, Nuveen’s net margins (pre-tax) (both including and excluding distribution expenses); gross and net revenue margins (pre- and post-tax and excluding distribution) from Nuveen funds only; revenues, expenses and net income (pre- and post-tax and before distribution expenses) of Nuveen for fund advisory services; and comparative profitability data comparing the operating margins of Nuveen compared to the adjusted operating margins of certain peers that had publicly available data and with the most comparable assets under management (based on asset size and asset composition) for each of the last two calendar years. In reviewing the peer comparison data, the Independent Board Members noted that Nuveen Investments, Inc.’s operating margins were on the low range compared to the total company adjusted operating margins of the peers. The Board also reviewed the revenues and expenses the Adviser derived from its ETF product line for the 2019 and 2020 calendar years.
140


Table of Contents
In reviewing the profitability data, the Independent Board Members recognized the subjective nature of calculating profitability as the information is not audited and is dependent on cost allocation methodologies to allocate corporate-wide expenses to the Nuveen complex and its affiliates and to further allocate such Nuveen complex expenses between the Nuveen fund and non-fund businesses. Generally, fund-specific expenses are allocated to the Nuveen funds and partial fund-related expenses and/or corporate overhead and shared costs (such as legal and compliance, accounting and finance, information technology and human resources and office services) are partially attributed to the funds pursuant to cost allocation methodologies. The Independent Board Members reviewed a description of the cost allocation methodologies employed to develop the financial information, a summary of the history of changes to the methodology over the years from 2010 to 2020, and the net revenue margins derived from the Nuveen funds (pre-tax and including and excluding distribution) and total company margins from Nuveen Investments, Inc. compared to the firm-wide adjusted margins of the peers for each calendar year from 2010 to 2020. The Board had also appointed three Independent Board Members to serve as the Board’s liaisons, with the assistance of independent counsel, to review the development of the profitability data and any proposed changes to the cost allocation methodology prior to incorporating any such changes and to report to the full Board. The Board recognized that other reasonable and valid allocation methodologies could be employed and could lead to significantly different results. The Independent Board Members also considered the key drivers behind the revenue and expense changes that impacted Nuveen’s net margins between 2019 and 2020. The Board also noted the reinvestments Nuveen and/or its parent made into its business through, among other things, the investment of seed capital in certain Nuveen funds and continued investments in enhancements to information technology, portfolio accounting systems and the global trading platform.
In reviewing the comparative peer data noted above, the Board considered that the operating margins of Nuveen Investments, Inc. were in the lower half of the peer group range; however, the Independent Board Members also recognized the limitations of the comparative data given that peer data is not generally public and the calculation of profitability is subjective and affected by numerous factors (such as types of funds a peer manages, its business mix, its cost of capital, the numerous assumptions underlying the methodology used to allocate expenses and other factors) that can have a significant impact on the results.
Aside from Nuveen’s profitability, the Board recognized that the Adviser is a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC, the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”). Accordingly, the Board also reviewed a balance sheet for TIAA reflecting its assets, liabilities and capital and contingency reserves for the 2020 and 2019 calendar years to consider the financial strength of TIAA. The Board recognized the benefit of an investment adviser and its parent with significant resources, particularly during periods of market volatility as experienced with the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition to Nuveen, the Independent Board Members considered the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from its relationships with the Nuveen funds. In this regard, the Independent Board Members reviewed, among other things, the Sub-Adviser’s revenues, expenses and net revenue margins (pre- and post-tax) for its advisory activities for the calendar year ended December 31, 2020 as well as its pre- and post-tax net revenue margins for 2020 compared to such margins for 2019. The Independent Board Members also reviewed a profitability analysis reflecting the revenues, expenses and revenue margin (pre- and post-tax) by asset type for the Sub-Adviser for the calendar year ending December 31, 2020 and the pre- and post-tax revenue margins from 2020 and 2019.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent Board Members also considered any other ancillary benefits derived by the respective Fund Adviser from its relationship with the Nuveen funds as discussed in further detail below.
Based on a consideration of all the information provided, the Board noted that Nuveen’s and the Sub-Adviser’s level of profitability was acceptable and not unreasonable in light of the services provided.
D. Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale
The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Nuveen funds and whether these economies of scale have been appropriately shared with the funds. The Board recognized that although economies of scale are difficult to measure and certain expenses may not decline with a rise in assets, there are several methods to help share the benefits of economies of scale, including breakpoints in the management fee schedule, fee waivers and/or expense limitations, the pricing of Nuveen funds at scale at inception and investments in Nuveen’s business which can enhance the services provided to the funds for the fees paid. The Board noted that Nuveen generally has employed these various methods, and the Board considered the extent to which the Nuveen funds will benefit from economies of scale as their assets grow. In this regard, the Board noted that the management fee of the Adviser is generally comprised of a fund-level component and a complex-level component each with its own breakpoint schedule, subject to certain exceptions. The Board reviewed the fund-level and complex-level fee schedules. The Board considered that the fund-level breakpoint schedules are designed to share economies of scale with shareholders if the particular fund grows, and the complex-level breakpoint schedule is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to shareholders when the eligible assets in the complex pass certain thresholds even if the assets of a particular fund are unchanged or have declined. In the calculation of the complex-level component, the Board noted that it had approved the acquisition of several Nuveen funds by similar TIAA-CREF funds in 2019. However, to mitigate the loss of the assets of these
141


Table of Contents
Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
Nuveen funds deemed eligible to be included in the calculation of the complex-wide fee when these Nuveen funds left the complex upon acquisition, Nuveen agreed to credit approximately $604.5 million to assets under management to the Nuveen complex in calculating the complex-wide component.
In addition to the fund-level and complex-level fee schedules, the Independent Board Members considered the temporary and/or permanent expense caps applicable to certain Nuveen funds (including the amounts of fees waived or amounts reimbursed to the respective funds in 2019 and 2020), including the permanent expense cap applicable to the Ohio Fund.
The Independent Board Members also recognized the Adviser’s continued reinvestment in its business through various initiatives including maintaining a seed account available for investments into Nuveen funds and investing in its internal infrastructure, information technology and other systems that will, among other things, consolidate and enhance accounting systems, integrate technology platforms to support growth and efficient data processing, and further develop its global trading platform to enhance the investment process for the investment teams.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the current fee arrangements together with the Adviser’s reinvestment in its business appropriately shared any economies of scale with shareholders.
E. Indirect Benefits
The Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding other benefits the respective Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationship with the Nuveen funds. The Independent Board Members recognized that an affiliate of the Adviser serves as principal underwriter providing distribution and/or shareholder services to the open-end funds. The Independent Board Members further noted that, subject to certain exceptions, the Nuveen open-end funds pay 12b-1 fees and while a majority of such fees were paid to third party broker-dealers, the Board reviewed the amount retained by the Adviser’s affiliate. In addition, the Independent Board Members also noted that various sub-advisers (including the Sub-Adviser) may engage in soft dollar transactions pursuant to which they may receive the benefit of research products and other services provided by broker-dealers executing portfolio transactions on behalf of the applicable Nuveen funds. However, the Board noted that any benefits for the Sub-Adviser when transacting in fixed-income securities may be more limited as such securities generally trade on a principal basis and therefore do not generate brokerage commissions.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that any indirect benefits received by a Fund Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Funds were reasonable and within acceptable parameters.
F. Other Considerations
The Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including the Independent Board Members, concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable, that the respective Fund Adviser’s fees were reasonable in light of the services provided to each Fund and that the Advisory Agreements be renewed.

Liquidity Risk Management Program    
(Unaudited)
Discussion of the operation and effectiveness of the Funds’ liquidity risk management program
In compliance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”), each Fund covered in this Report has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”), which is designed to manage each Fund’s liquidity risk. The Program consists of various protocols for assessing and managing each Fund’s liquidity risk. The Funds’ Board of Directors (the “Board”) previously designated Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”), as the administrator of the Program. The Adviser’s Liquidity Monitoring and Analysis Team (“LMAT”) carries out day-to-day Program management with oversight by the Adviser’s Liquidity Oversight Sub-Committee (“LOSC”). LMAT and LOSC are composed of personnel from the Adviser and Teachers Advisors, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser.
At a May 26, 2021 meeting of the Board, the Adviser provided the Board with a written report addressing the Program’s operation, adequacy and effectiveness of implementation for the calendar year 2020 (the “Review Period”), as required under the Liquidity Rule. The report noted that the Program has been and continues to be adequately and effectively implemented to monitor and (as applicable) respond to each Fund’s liquidity developments.
In accordance with the Program, LMAT assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk no less frequently than annually based on various factors, such as (i) the Fund’s investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments, (ii) cash flow projections, and (iii) holdings of cash and cash equivalents, borrowing arrangements, and other funding sources. Certain factors are considered under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions.
Each of the Funds’ portfolio investments are classified into one of four liquidity categories (including the most liquid, “Highly Liquid,” and the least liquid, “Illiquid,” as discussed below). The classification is based on a determination of how long it is reasonably expected to take to convert the investment into cash, or sell or dispose of the investment, in current market conditions without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Liquidity classification determinations take into account various market, trading, and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, using third-party vendor data.
A fund that does not primarily hold Highly Liquid investments must, among other things, determine a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid investments (a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum”). During the Review Period, each Fund primarily held Highly Liquid investments and therefore was exempt from the requirement to adopt a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum and to comply with the related requirements under the Liquidity Rule.
The Liquidity Rule also limits a fund’s investments in Illiquid investments. Specifically, the Liquidity Rule prohibits a fund from acquiring Illiquid investments if doing so would result in the fund holding more than 15% of its net assets in Illiquid investments, and requires certain reporting to the fund’s board and the Securities and Exchange Commission any time a fund’s holdings of Illiquid investments exceeds 15% of net assets. During the Review Period, the Funds did not exceed the 15% limit on Illiquid investments.

ITEM 4.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

The following tables show the amount of fees that PriceWaterHouseCoopers LLP, the Funds’ auditor, billed to the Funds’ during the Funds’ last two full fiscal years. The Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that PriceWaterHouseCoopers LLP, provided to the Funds, except for those non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the “pre-approval exception”). The preapproval exception for services provided directly to the Funds waives the pre-approval requirement for services other than audit, review or attest services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Funds during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Funds did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee’s attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the audit is completed.

The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its Chair (or, in her absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).
