Dear Ms. Blass:

Nuveen Investment Funds, Inc., Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. and U.S. Bank National Association (collectively, the “Applicants”) filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 29, 2011 (the “Application”) for an order pursuant to Section 17(d) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and Rule 17d-1 thereunder permitting U.S. Bank National Association to provide services as a securities lending agent for Nuveen Investment Funds, Inc. and, in connection therewith, receive compensation based upon a share of the income from securities loans.
