Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders    
Dear Shareholders,
The worries weighing on markets at the end of 2018 appeared to dissipate in early 2019 as positive economic and corporate earnings news, more dovish signals from central banks and trade progress boosted investor confidence. However, political noise and trade disputes continue to drive short-term market volatility and weigh on longer-term outlooks. Investors are concerned that increased tariffs and a protracted stalemate between the U.S. and its trading partners could dampen business and consumer sentiment, weakening spending and potentially impacting the global economy. Additionally, political uncertainty and the risk of policy error appear elevated. In the U.S. in particular, low interest rate levels and the widening federal deficit have constrained the available policy tools for countering recessionary pressures. As the current U.S. economic expansion has reached the 10-year mark this summer, it’s important to note that economic expansions don’t die of old age, but mature economic cycles can be more vulnerable to an exogenous shock.
Until a clearer picture on trade emerges, more bouts of market turbulence are likely in the meantime. While the downside risks warrant careful monitoring, we believe the likelihood of a near-term recession remains low. Global economic growth is moderating, with demand driven by the historically low unemployment in the U.S., Japan and across Europe. Central banks across the developed world continue to emphasize their readiness to adjust policy, and China’s authorities remain committed to keeping economic growth rates steady with fiscal and monetary policy.
The opportunity set may be narrower, but we believe there is still scope for gains in this environment. Patience and maintaining perspective can help you weather periodic market volatility. We encourage you to work with your financial advisor to assess short-term market movements in the context of your time horizon, risk tolerance and investment goals. On behalf of the other members of the Nuveen Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
Terence J. Toth
Chairman of the Board
July 23, 2019

What factors affected the U.S. economy and the national municipal bond market during the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2019?
The U.S. economy continued its solid expansion, with economic activity rebounding in early 2019 after a slump at the end of 2018. In the first quarter of 2019, gross domestic product (GDP), which 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, grew at an annualized rate of 3.1%, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis “second” estimate. A jump in exports and a buildup of inventories helped offset slower consumer and business spending in the first three months of 2019. For the full year 2018, U.S. GDP growth came in at 2.9%, as economic activity cooled over the second half of 2018 after peaking at 4.2% (annualized) in the second quarter of 2018.
Consumer spending, the largest driver of the economy, remained well supported by low unemployment, wage gains and tax cuts. As reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate fell to 3.6% in May 2019 from 3.8% in May 2018 and job gains averaged around 196,000 per month for the past twelve months. As the jobs market has tightened, average hourly earnings grew at an annualized rate of 3.1% in May 2019. However, falling energy prices led to a slower rate of inflation over the past twelve months. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 1.8% over the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2019 before seasonal adjustment, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Low mortgage rates and low inventory drove home prices higher during this economic cycle. But the pace of price increases has slowed along with declining new home sales and housing starts. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index, which covers all nine U.S. census divisions, was up 3.5% year-over-year in April 2019 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared). The 10-City and 20-City Composites reported year-over-year increases of 2.3% and 2.5%, respectively.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
As some data began pointing to slower momentum in the overall economy, the Federal Reserve (Fed) notably shifted its stance. From December 2015 through December 2018, the Fed had gradually lifted its main policy interest rate to prevent the economy from overheating. In its final meeting of 2018, the Fed indicated that two more rate hikes might be forthcoming in 2019, roiling the markets, which had expected a more dovish tone. However, as more recent data revealed a mixed picture of the economy, the Fed said it would adopt a more “patient” approach, signaling the possibility of no rate hikes in 2019. Markets began to speculate that the Fed’s next move would be a rate cut, rather than a rate increase, particularly after trade tensions intensified between the U.S. and China. However, the minutes from the Fed’s April 30-May 1 meeting showed that the Fed was in no hurry to make any policy adjustment. The Fed kept rates unchanged in its first three policy meetings of 2019, as expected, and in March announced its plan to discontinue rolling assets off its balance sheet.
During the twelve-month reporting period, geopolitical news remained a prominent market driver. Tariff and trade policy topped the list of concerns. Hope for a China-U.S. trade deal dimmed after the latest round of negotiations ended with an impasse and both countries levied tariff increases. Additionally, the U.S. blacklisted Chinese company Huawei, banning companies from doing business with the telecom giant without U.S. government approval. In response, China announced its own “Unreliable Entity” list. Further roiling markets was President Trump’s surprise announcement that he would impose tariffs on Mexico if the country didn’t take more action to curb illegal immigration. (Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the two countries announced a joint agreement and the U.S. administration suspended its tariff plan.) Meanwhile, as agreed in July 2018, the U.S. and the European Union continued to withhold further tariffs. Later in 2018, the U.S., Mexico and Canada agreed to a new trade deal to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement, but it has not yet been ratified by the countries’ legislatures. With no clear path forward on U.S.-China trade policy, markets grew increasingly worried that trade conflicts would dampen global growth, as negative sentiment could inhibit business, consumer and investor confidence and spending.
In the U.K., Prime Minister Theresa May was unable to secure a Brexit deal before the original March 29, 2019 deadline. The European Union extended the deadline to October 31, 2019, and Prime Minister May announced she would resign effective June 7, 2019, raising the possibility that her successor could favor a no-deal Brexit. Europe also contended with Italy’s euroskeptic coalition government and its challenging fiscal condition, the “yellow vest” protests in France, immigration policy concerns, Russian sanctions and political risk in Turkey.
Elections around the world also remained a source of uncertainty. Investors grew more skeptical that Brazil’s newly elected president could deliver reforms, while some of the market’s initial fears about Mexico’s new president subsided. Europe’s traditional centrist parties lost seats in the Parliamentary elections and populist parties saw marginal gains. The ruling parties in India and South Africa maintained their majorities, where slower economic growth could complicate their respective reform mandates.
The twelve-month reporting period began on a weak note for municipal bonds but turned strongly positive in the second half of the period. With the economy strengthening and the labor market tightening throughout the second half of 2018, the Fed continued to increase its main policy interest rate. The prevailing economic outlook was generally positive, driving the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to a high of 3.24% in November 2018. However, interest rates declined significantly over the remainder of the reporting period on signs of a weaker macroeconomic environment, more dovish central bank policy, geopolitical tensions (especially regarding trade) and bouts of equity market volatility. The U.S. Treasury yield curve flattened overall, with a portion of the curve inverting. However, the municipal yield curve “twisted” by flattening at the short end and steepening at the long end of the curve.
Along with the falling interest rate environment, favorable supply-demand conditions were supportive of municipal bond performance. Issuance has been subdued since the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Because new issue advance refunding bonds are no longer tax exempt under the new tax law, the total supply of municipal bonds has decreased, boosting the scarcity value of existing municipal bonds. Municipal bond gross issuance nationwide totaled $338.6 billion in this reporting period, a 19.2% decrease from the issuance for the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2018. Nevertheless, the overall low level of interest rates 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 ranged from 40% to 60% of total issuance over the past few years. Thus, the net issuance (all bonds issued less bonds redeemed) is actually much lower than the gross issuance. So, while gross issuance volume has been strong, the net has not, and this was an overall positive technical factor on municipal bond investment performance in recent years. Although the pace of refundings is slowing, net negative issuance is expected to continue.

Low global interest rates have continued to drive investors toward higher after-tax yielding assets, including U.S. municipal bonds. The Fed’s pivot to a more dovish stance in early 2019 also brought investors back to fixed income markets, including municipal bonds, driving large inflows into the asset class in the early months of 2019. Additionally, as tax payers have begun to assess the impact of 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 in 2019 to date, especially in states with high income 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, 2019?
Kansas’ economic growth is finally showing signs of improvement. After having been ranked 49th lowest amongst states for GDP growth, the State’s ranking improved to 29th. The state’s GDP grew 1.9% in 2018 compared to 0.8% in 2017. The state still trails below national GDP growth of 2.9%. Kansas saw some growth in wholesale trade, real estate, and durable goods manufacturing. As of May 2019, Kansas’ unemployment rate of 3.5% remained below the national unemployment rate of 3.6%. On the fiscal front, Kansas is recovering from Governor Brownback’s aggressive income tax cuts that began in Fiscal Year 2013 which resulted in $1 billion decline in revenues. The legislature essentially reversed Brownback’s steep tax cuts beginning Fiscal Year 2018 and the state’s fiscal condition has significantly improved. The State was able to replenish reserves in Fiscal Year 2018 and expects Fiscal Year 2019 reserves to reach nearly $980 million. The State’s Fiscal Year 2020 $18 billion budget includes $51 million supplemental pension contribution and $90 million in additional funding for public schools. Moody’s maintains its Aa2 rating and stable outlook on the State of Kansas. S&P also maintains their AA credit rating and stable outlook. For the twelve months ending May 31, 2019, municipal issuance in Kansas totaled $2.2 billion, representing a 32.7% gross issuance decrease from the twelve months ended May 31, 2018.
Kentucky’s economy continues to remain a below average performer. In 2018, the Commonwealth’s economy posted growth of just 1.4%, below the national growth rate of 2.9%. As of May 2019, the jobless rate was 4.0%, above the national rate of 3.6%. Employment and labor force figures are growing at below average rates of 0.3% and 0.1%, respectively, compared with the U.S. figures of 0.9% and 0.5%, respectively. Manufacturing accounts for an above average, 13%, of the state’s jobs, compared with 8.6% nationally. Auto manufacturing in the state has continued to do well, though it is expected to slow due to automation and drops in vehicle demand. However, the shipping industry has ramped up in the state from both UPS and Amazon, with Amazon investing in a $1.5 billion new shipping facility in Hebron expected to create 2,000 jobs by 2020. Despite a relatively stable job market, the state continues to lag the nation in terms of income metrics, educational attainment and population growth. The State continues to have budgetary pressures, largely due to the chronic underfunding of pension obligations that weighs on the expenditures and create structural budgetary problems, and has relied on budgetary cuts and reserves to fill gaps, which is unsustainable. Pension contributions are budgeted to make up 14.8% and 14.3% of Fiscal Years 2019 and 2020 spending, respectively. The combined unfunded pension liability is estimated at $29 billion, and the funded ratio is one of the weakest among states. Though the state does not have any outstanding general obligation debt, as of June 2019 the state’s implied general obligation rating and outlook 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. For the twelve months ending May 31, 2019, Kentucky issued $4.2 billion in municipal bonds, a gross issuance decrease of 17.7% to the prior twelve months ended May 31, 2018.
Michigan’s economic growth has outpaced many of its Great Lakes region neighbors in recent years, driven by employment growth, continued diversification and multiple years of strong domestic auto sales. Light motor vehicle sales were essentially flat in calendar year 2018, but it was the fourth consecutive year sales exceeded 17 million units, helping to sustain Michigan’s growth. To a large extent, the Michigan economy remains tied to events in the auto industry, as the “Big Three” (General Motors, Ford and Chrysler) continued to rank among the state’s five largest employers. Overall, Michigan remained heavily reliant on manufacturing, which represented 13.9% of employment in the state, compared with 8.6% nationally. As of May 2019, Michigan’s unemployment rate was 4.2%. Favorably, the state’s labor force participation rate has remained stable as unemployment has improved, indicating a real improvement in job growth. 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. Improvement in the state economy has brought slow, steady improvement in the housing market. According to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index of 20 major metropolitan areas, housing prices in Detroit rose 3.5% over the twelve months ended April 2019 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared), in line with the national average increase of 3.5%. On the fiscal front, as revenues improved, the state has demonstrated a commitment to rebuilding reserves and maintaining structurally balanced opera-

tions. The state’s previously depleted budget stabilization/rainy day reserve fund is now on pace to approach $1 billion by the end of Fiscal Year 2019. The state’s improved financial and cash position has eliminated the need for cash flow borrowing, which the state hasn’t resorted to since 2011. Strong income and sales tax revenue growth have helped make this possible, though the pace of revenue growth is projected to slow over the next two years. This slowdown and the state’s gap in infrastructure spending have the potential to pose future budgetary pressure. Newly elected Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s campaigned on a promise to address Michigan’s deteriorating transportation infrastructure and new funding for roads is a key part of her Fiscal 2020 budget proposal. The $60.2 billion budget, which represents a 3.5% increase over the prior year, dedicates much of the increased spending to road repairs and education. As proposed, spending on roads would be funded by a 45 cents per gallon increase in the fuel tax, to be implemented incrementally over a one year period beginning in October 2019. The budget also increases education spending with funding increases targeted at lower funded schools. As of March 2019, Moody’s and S&P rated Michigan general obligation (GO) debt at Aa1 and AA-, respectively. During the twelve months ended May 31, 2019, municipal issuance in Michigan totaled $8.5 billion, a gross issuance increase of 28.3% from the twelve months ended May 31, 2018.
Missouri’s economic growth is outpacing its Midwestern peers but still continues to lag national economic growth. After having been ranked as the 37th lowest amongst states for GDP growth, the State’s ranking improved to 20th. The state’s GDP grew 2.3% compared to national GDP growth of 2.9%. As of May 2019, Missouri’s unemployment rate of 3.3% remains below the national unemployment rate of 3.6%, though this is partially due to contraction of the labor force. The state saw growth in the following sectors: wholesale trade, information, & durable and non-durable goods manufacturing. The Missouri Constitution requires that the state pass a balanced budget. In June 2019, the Governor signed off on the state’s $30 billion budget that includes a $60 million increase in public school funding, significant increase of funding to higher education institutions after previous cuts. Moody’s, S&P and Fitch rate Missouri general obligation debt at Aaa/AAA/AAA and all have stable outlooks. For the twelve months ended May 31, 2019, municipal issuance in Missouri totaled $4.0 billion, representing a 42.0% gross issuance decrease from the twelve months ended May 31, 2018.
Ohio’s employment growth in 2018 was the strongest in years, although national leading economic indicators point to slower but continued growth in 2019. In 2018, Ohio had a job growth rate of 2.1%. That was the state’s best year since 1994’s rate of 3.6%. The U.S. labor force grew by 1.6% over the last year. It is rare for Ohio to outperform the nation’s job growth average, which it did in 2010 and in 2018, perhaps in response to federal stimulus policies in those years. As of May 2019, Ohio’s unemployment rate was 4.1%. The decades-long decline in manufacturing employment continues in the state, while more jobs get created in the health services sector, in particular. Ohio’s economy has also been affected by stagnant population growth. The state’s population grew by 174,000 to nearly 11.7 million between 2008 and 2018, placing the state’s lackluster growth 41st in the nation for that period. According to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index, housing prices in Cleveland rose 3.5% over the twelve months ended April 2019 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared). Ohio’s median household income continues to widen from the national median. Ohio’s household income stood at $54,021, which places it 35th in the U.S., according to the Census Bureau. Ohio began 2019 with a new governor, Mike DeWine, who emphasized greater investment in infrastructure, combatting the state’s addiction epidemic, and workforce development as key themes in his first State of the State address. On the fiscal front, Ohio’s year-to-date revenues (through February 2019) are 1.6% below estimate but 1.8% above the prior year’s collections. The greatest increase in dollars comes from sales tax receipts, as recent tax reform gradually lowered the individual income tax rate while raising the state’s sales tax. The state’s conservative fiscal management has resulted in a strong financial position, with sound liquidity and reserve levels. Ohio prioritized the rebuilding of its Budget Stabilization Fund after the Great Recession. The current Budget Stabilization Fund balance of $2.7 billion is 8.5% of general fund revenues. As of February 2019, Moody’s and S&P rated Ohio GO debt at Aa1 and AA+, respectively, with stable outlooks. For the twelve months ended May 31, 2019, municipal issuance in Ohio totaled $8.0 billion, a gross issuance decrease of 37.0% compared with the twelve months ended May 31, 2018.
Wisconsin’s economy is considered moderately strong despite some metrics trailing the national average. Strong manufacturing job growth has buoyed Wisconsin’s economic progress post-recession. In 2017 the state’s economy expanded at a rate of 3.1%, below the national growth rate of 4.1%, ranking Wisconsin 39th in terms of GDP growth by state. Though below average in overall growth, solid labor market gains, especially in manufacturing, bolstered total employment levels and positively impacted both labor force participation and the unemployment rate. The State projects total employment grew 1.1% in 2018 and will increase by a similar amount in 2019. The State’s economy has diversified, due to growth in education and health services, but manufacturing overall still accounts for an elevated 15.9% of employment in the State, compared to the national average of 8.6%. This makes Wisconsin the second most dependent state on manufacturing nationwide. Wisconsin’s unemployment rate, which typically trends below the U.S, was just 2.8% as of
8


May 2019, well below the national rate of 3.6%. The State’s dependence on manufacturing and comparatively weaker demographic profile are projected to constrain economic growth to just average over the long term. The Fiscal Year 2019 budget, including unspent or lapsed appropriations carried over from Fiscal Year 2018, totals $17.5 billion, an increase of 4.8% over the prior year. The approved plan will spend down reserves by an estimated $550 million. Revenues, led by income and sales tax revenue growth, are projected to increase by 3.5% and 2.5% in Fiscal Years 2020 and 2021, respectively. In comparison to other states, Wisconsin has historically maintained fairly modest reserve levels. The state’s Rainy Day or Budget Stabilization fund has maintained a balance of about $280 million since 2013. This is equivalent to less than 2% of appropriations, but the highest amount ever in the fund’s history. Improved liquidity and recent changes broadening the state’s ability to internally borrow across state funds on a short-term basis have precluded the need to cash flow borrow since 2012. Wisconsin’s debt levels remain above average. Wisconsin is ranked 15th among states with tax supported debt per capita at $1,660, above the national median of $987. 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. For the twelve months ended May 31, 2019, Wisconsin issued $9.2 billion of municipal bonds, a gross issuance decrease of 13.2% from the twelve-month period ended May 31, 2018.
How did the Funds perform during the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2019?
The tables in the Fund Performance, Expense Ratios and Effective Leverage Ratios section of this report provide each Fund’s total return performance information for the one-year, five-year, ten-year and/or since-inception periods ended May 31, 2019. The returns for each Fund’s Class A Shares at net asset value (NAV) are compared with the performance of a corresponding market index and Lipper classification average.
During the reporting period, the Class A Shares at NAV of the Wisconsin Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index, while the Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio Funds underperformed this performance measure. The Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin Funds outperformed their respective Lipper classification averages, while the Kansas Fund lagged its Lipper classification average.
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, 2019?
All of the Funds continued to employ the same fundamental investment strategies and tactics long relied upon by NAM. Our municipal bond portfolios are managed with a value-oriented approach and close input from NAM’s research team. Below, we highlight the specific factors influencing each Fund’s investment strategy, as well as how we managed each portfolio in light of recent market conditions.
Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund
The Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2019. The key source of difficulty was our duration positioning (interest rate sensitivity), which modestly detracted from the Fund’s relative performance.
During the reporting period, we encountered very limited supply of high coupon Kansas municipal bonds. Amid this supply constraint, the Fund received significant shareholder inflows for most of the reporting period. Rather than rush to deploy these proceeds into bonds we found unattractively structured, we preferred to keep more of the portfolio in cash and short-term securities in anticipation of better future opportunity. The impact of maintaining these larger-than-normal short-term investments moved the Fund’s duration from essentially neutral to the index at the reporting period’s halfway point to shorter than the index in the second half of the reporting period. Such positioning hindered the Fund’s ability to fully participate in the municipal market rally that occurred between January and May 2019.
Sector positioning had a slightly negative performance impact. An overweighting in the tobacco sector detracted, given this category’s relative underperformance. Offsetting positive factors included the Fund’s overweightings in the health care, dedicated tax and public power sectors, all of which outpaced the index.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
Security selection added value relative to the index, particularly our willingness to hold out-of-state industrial development revenue (corporate-backed) bonds. We were selective with our non-Kansas investments, focusing on securities we believed offered sufficient yield and total return potential to offset the bonds’ lack of state-tax advantages for Kansas residents. However, we also recognize that out of state investments are taxable for Kansas residents, so we focused only on bonds that we believed offered sufficient total return potential to compensate for that lack of a tax advantage. In this category, one very strong performer was FirstEnergy Solutions, an Ohio bond that gained sharply as the issuer continued to make progress in its post-bankruptcy restructuring. Other notable outperformers among our corporate-backed holdings included bonds for United Airlines, Inc. (Texas), Goldman Sachs Headquarters (New York), 3 World Trade Center Project (New York) and Iowa Fertilizer Company.
Credit quality positioning was another source of relative outperformance, especially overweights in lower investment grade, below investment grade and non-investment grade bonds. These stances contributed to results, given that these categories outperformed higher grade securities, in which the Fund was significantly underweighted.
Our purchases this reporting period took place across several sectors and generally had longer durations, mid-quality credit ratings and high coupons ranging from four to five percent. Key purchases that fit these criteria included issues of Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Leavenworth County Unified School District, Hutchinson Regional Medical Center, Kansas State Turnpike Authority and Wyandotte County - Kansas City Unified Government Utility System. We also purchased Dodge City, Kansas sales tax revenue bonds, Johnson/Miami Unified School District and Village Shalom senior-living bonds.
Beyond those purchases and the out-of-state acquisitions, we found value among bonds of U.S. territories, which may include exemption from most federal, state and local taxes. We also purchased newly issued insured Puerto Rico bonds we believed offered a favorable risk/reward trade-off.
Toward the end of 2018, we sold some lower yielding holdings and replaced them with similarly structured issues with better income characteristics. These transactions offered the combined benefit of allowing us to increase the Fund’s income profile, while creating a tax loss we can use to offset against future capital gains.
Proceeds for our new purchases during the reporting period came from shareholder flows into the Fund, as well as bond calls and maturities.
Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund
The Nuveen Kentucky Municipal Bond Fund underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2019.
Sector positioning detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the index, due partly to an overweighting in pre-refunded bonds. Although these very high quality, short maturity securities produced a positive return, they nevertheless lagged the index in a market environment favoring lower quality, longer duration (more interest rate sensitive) bonds. The Fund also saw underperformance from its health care bond exposure.
Individual security selection modestly detracted, primarily related to our exposure to short dated, high quality bonds. On the positive side, we benefited from exposure to tender option bonds, whose increased interest rate sensitivity made them strong performers in an environment of generally declining interest rates.
Duration positioning contributed to relative performance. We were underweighted in shorter duration bonds, which helped the Fund’s results, given longer bonds’ outperformance for the reporting period.
Credit positioning added value. As lower rated, higher yielding bonds outperformed their higher quality, lower yielding counterparts, the Fund’s overweighting in the market’s BBB rated credit tier contributed to results. Simultaneously, we were underweighted in the market’s highest rating category, AAA rated, which further lifted results on a relative basis.
10


In managing the portfolio this reporting period, we engaged in various tax-loss bond swaps. These transactions enabled us to improve the Fund’s income generation capability. With this approach, we exchanged bonds with lower book yields for similarly structured bonds offering higher book yields, while simultaneously generating a taxable loss we can apply against future capital gains.
A number of our bonds matured during the reporting period, particularly in the first half of the reporting period, resulting in substantial proceeds requiring reinvestment. We were relatively active in purchasing new bonds for the Fund during the reporting period. With these funds, as well as the proceeds from call activity, we purchased bonds across several market sectors, including dedicated tax, state appropriation, health care, higher education, water/sewer, airport, utility, prepaid gas and student loans. One notable new issue, purchased in both the primary and secondary municipal markets, was Lexington Transient Room Tax bonds. Because this was a new issuer in the state, these purchases enabled us to enhance the Fund’s diversification. Also, the bonds’ longer duration and lower investment grade credit rating helped us accomplish our duration management and credit quality objectives.
Late in the reporting period, we established a new position in Puerto Rico sales-tax bonds. (Bonds of Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories may include exemption from most federal, state and local taxes.)
Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund
The Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2019.
Security selection detracted, due largely to subpar performance from our high quality, short-maturity bond positions, which generally lagged the market. We saw a negative impact on relative performance from certain bonds we sold last November and December 2018 to generate proceeds needed to satisfy shareholder redemptions. Our strongest performers of the reporting period were tender option bonds, whose long durations contributed to results.
Credit quality positioning modestly hampered performance relative to the index. Our underweighting in bonds with a credit rating of BBB (the lowest tier of the investment grade bond universe) detracted, given that lower rated, higher yielding issues tended to outperform higher quality, lower yielding debt during the reporting period.
On a sector basis, the Fund’s overweighting in pre-refunded bonds detracted from performance, as these high quality, short-maturity issues lagged the index. Our allocation to the health care sector also weighed on results.
Duration (interest rate) positioning contributed to relative performance. Our overweighting in longer-duration securities added value, as these bonds with greater sensitivity to declining rates outperformed shorter-duration bonds. A corresponding underweighting in the market’s shortest-duration segments also detracted, given these securities’ relative underperformance.
In late November and early December 2018, as the municipal bond market was struggling, we experienced elevated shareholder redemptions, which we financed by selling various bonds with low book yields. When the calendar turned in 2019 and the municipal bond market rallied for the remaining five months of the reporting period, we received new shareholder investments. With these proceeds, and those of bond maturities and calls, we invested across multiple market sectors, including tax increment finance, water/sewer, higher education, health care, and local general obligation.
For the first time in several years, we invested in selected bond issuers tied to Southeast Michigan. Our prior reluctance to invest in this region reflected our caution about the credit quality of the area surrounding Detroit. While we remained highly selective in these investments, we took advantage of opportunities to invest in bonds offering what we believed were especially favorable yields relative to the securities’ credit risks.
Our purchases took place across a variety of credit quality segments, with a particular emphasis on AA rated bonds, as this is where we found the greatest supply of bonds meeting our investment criteria. Our purchases generally included longer and longer-intermediate maturities, as bonds in this range allowed us to maintain the Fund’s duration positioning at our desired level.
11


Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
To keep the Fund fully invested when we were not finding suitable bonds to purchase, we periodically bought variable-rate demand notes. These are short-term securities with a coupon that is reset on a daily or weekly basis. We saw these securities as effective placeholders in the portfolio as we awaited suitable long-term investment opportunities.
Toward the end of the reporting period, we established a stake in Puerto Rico sales-tax bonds. Like all bonds issued by U.S. territories, these securities may include exemption from most federal, state and local taxes. Unlike many other Puerto Rico bonds, the securities are currently paying a coupon and we believe the bonds are offering an attractive yield relative to their risk.
Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund
The Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2019.
The Fund’s sector positioning modestly detracted from relative performance. Specifically, our underweightings in the transportation and tax-backed sectors, both of which outperformed the index, hindered the Fund’s results. Our overweighting in the higher education sector was a positive performance factor, as that sector outpaced the index. Within the health care sector, our larger exposure to hospitals, as well as individual security selection in this subsector, proved beneficial. However, selected life care bonds were individual detractors as a number of senior living issuers in Missouri embarked on expansion projects during the reporting period, which caused bouts of spread widening.
Meanwhile, yield curve positioning had a positive impact on relative performance, much of it stemming from the Fund’s heavier exposure to longer duration bonds. Due largely to their strong performance in the second half of the reporting period, as interest rates declined, longer bonds tended to outpace shorter-dated issues for the reporting period.
Credit quality positioning had a neutral performance impact. We were overweighted in lower investment grade and non-rated bonds, which generally did well, but as mentioned earlier, a number of individual holdings held back performance somewhat.
The Fund experienced shareholder inflows during the reporting period. These, coupled with the proceeds of bond calls and maturities, provided us with ample funds to actively make purchases this reporting period. Missouri new-issue supply was limited relative to the national market, and the Fund relied heavily on the secondary markets. Accordingly, our new issue acquisitions tended to be higher in quality, reflected in the Fund’s increased allocation to AA rated bonds during the twelve-month reporting period. However, we also took advantage of periodic opportunities to obtain higher yielding bonds in the new issue market, notably adding issues of Lutheran Senior Services and Saint Louis University.
Tax loss swapping was another source of activity. We sold several lower yielding bond positions and reinvested the proceeds in new bonds offering higher yields prevailing in the marketplace. Besides improving the Fund’s income profile, these transactions allowed us to recognize tax losses that in the future we will be able to apply against capital gains.
At about the same time, we also sold some lower coupon holdings. As rates rose in late 2018, we engaged in these transactions on a precautionary basis, as we felt these lower income bonds would be more vulnerable if rates were to move higher. Although we were actively making new purchases and sales throughout the reporting period, the Fund’s broad sector allocations did not significantly change over the course of the reporting period.
Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund
The Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund underperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2019.
Credit quality and sector positioning were the primary negatives underlying the Fund’s relative underperformance. From a credit standpoint, the Fund’s primary challenge was an overweight in the market’s B credit rating tier. This allocation reflected our roughly 3% exposure in tobacco-securitization bonds. Tobacco bonds struggled during the reporting period, as investors became somewhat more concerned about the possible long-term financial impact of declining smoking trends.
12


Sector positioning also detracted, especially a relative overweighting in pre-refunded debt. These bonds’ very high credit quality and short durations weighed on our performance, given the market’s recent preference for lower quality, longer-duration bonds. The Fund also experienced underperformance from its health care bond exposure.
In contrast, the Fund benefited from its duration (interest rate) positioning. A relative underweight in the market’s shortest-duration securities was the primary positive duration-related factor.
A greater performance impact came from favorable security selection. The Fund benefited the most from our position in bonds of FirstEnergy Solutions. As this utility company continued to make progress in its post-bankruptcy restructuring, these bonds enjoyed strong price appreciation during the reporting period, helping to boost the Fund’s result on a relative basis. Exposure to longer-duration debt also helped, particularly our exposure to tender option bonds. However, we saw some underperformance from the Fund’s short-dated, high quality positions.
In the first half of the reporting period, we periodically engaged in tax-loss bond swaps. This strategy entailed selling portfolio holdings with lower book yields and using the proceeds to buy similarly structured but better yielding bonds. Accordingly, we were able to improve the Fund’s income characteristics while also creating a taxable loss that we can use to offset capital gains in the future. We did not meaningfully employ this strategy in the reporting period’s second half.
Primarily with the proceeds of maturing and called bonds but also to a lesser extent the sale of certain lower-yielding bonds, we added new bonds across a handful of market sectors. New purchases over the course of the reporting period included some higher education, local and state general obligation, dedicated-tax, health care, transportation and utility bonds. When making new purchases, we often favored longer-dated bonds with credit ratings ranging from A to AA.
We also established a new position in Puerto Rico sales-tax bonds. We believed these securities offered an attractive yield relative to their credit risk. As with other bonds of U.S. territories, these securities may include exemption from most federal, state and local taxes.
Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund
The Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund outperformed the S&P Municipal Bond Index for the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2019.
Security selection was the overwhelming driver of this relative outperformance. Among tax-free Wisconsin holdings, we saw solid gains from PHW (Presbyterian Homes Wisconsin) Senior Living Facility, Oconomowoc bonds, which rallied strongly since we purchased these newly issued securities in September 2018. National Gypsum Company, a taxable investment grade rated, corporate-backed bond issued in Wisconsin, also produced strong gains.
In addition, the Fund experienced strong results from several out-of-state holdings, reflecting our willingness to invest beyond the state’s borders when the supply of suitable Wisconsin bonds was severely constrained, and where we saw enough yield to compensate for the lack of a tax advantage for Wisconsin residents. Our best performer in this category was FirstEnergy Solutions (Ohio). These securities benefited from the issuer’s continued progress in its post-bankruptcy restructuring. Holdings in bonds issued for 3 World Trade Center Project (New York) also contributed, as they generated gains much larger than the index.
We also benefited from an investment in Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority revenue bonds, which outpaced the index by a significant margin. As a territory of the United States, the U.S. Virgin Islands (as with Puerto Rico and Guam) issues municipal debt, which may include exemption from most federal, state and local taxes.
Credit quality positioning provided a modest performance benefit. We were helped by our relative overweighting in below investment grade and non-investment grade securities. Bonds in these categories outperformed higher rated investment grade securities, in which the Fund had a relative underweighting.
13


Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
Although the Fund’s duration (interest rate positioning) had little overall relative performance impact this reporting period, our sector allocation modestly detracted. Overweightings in the tobacco and state-appropriated sectors detracted, given their relative underperformance. An offsetting positive factor, however, was the Fund’s much larger-than-index exposure to dedicated sales-tax bonds, which outperformed the index.
The Wisconsin municipal bond market poses unique challenges for portfolio managers, given that much of its municipal debt is taxable. Further, much of the tax-free debt the state issued during the reporting period carried suboptimal yields. Through diligent research, we were able to find several attractive higher coupon, tax exempt Wisconsin bonds with investment grade credit ratings and intermediate to long durations. Key purchases that fit these themes included Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, Glendale Community Development Authority tax increment financing, Brookfield Community Development, Neenah Community Development Authority lease revenue bonds, University of Wisconsin student housing, Southeast Wisconsin sales tax, Bellin Memorial Hospital, Marshfield Clinic Health Systems, and Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority multi-family housing bonds. Meanwhile, constraints in the supply of fully tax-exempt Wisconsin municipal debt, coupled with Fund requirements to maintain a sufficient allocation to investment grade credits, prompted us to look outside the state for additional suitable opportunities.
Proceeds for these purchases came primarily from bond maturities and calls, and from shareholder flows into the Fund. Furthermore, we engaged in some tax-loss selling toward the end of 2018. We replaced existing lower coupon Guam and Wisconsin positions in the portfolio with similar holdings providing better book yields. With these swaps, we improved the income-generation characteristics of the Fund and realized tax losses that we can apply against future capital gains.

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

Fund Performance, Expense Ratios and Effective Leverage Ratios    
The Fund Performance, Expense Ratios and Effective Leverage Ratios for each Fund are shown within this section of the report.
Returns quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Total returns for a period of less than one year are not annualized. Returns at net asset value (NAV) would be lower if the sales charge were included. Returns assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. For performance, current to the most recent month-end visit nuveen.com or call (800) 257-8787.
Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Income is generally exempt from regular federal income taxes. Some income may be subject to state and local income taxes and to the federal alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to tax.
Returns may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the investment adviser during the periods presented. If any such waivers and/or reimbursements had not been in place, returns would have been reduced. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 7—Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates for more information.
Returns reflect differences in sales charges and expenses, which are primarily differences in distribution and service fees, and assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.
Comparative index and Lipper return information is provided for Class A Shares at NAV only.
The expense ratios shown reflect total operating expenses (before fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any) as shown in the most recent prospectus. The expense ratios include management fees and other fees and expenses.
Leverage is created whenever a Fund has investment exposure (both reward and/or risk) equivalent to more than 100% of its investment capital. The effective leverage ratio shown for each Fund is the amount of investment exposure created either directly through borrowings or indirectly through inverse floaters, divided by the assets invested, including those assets that were purchased with the proceeds of the leverage, or referenced by the levered instrument. A Fund may from time to time borrow on a typically transient basis in connection with its day-to-day operations, primarily in connection with the need to pay cash out to redeeming shareholders or to settle portfolio trades. Such incidental borrowings, described generally in Notes to Financial Statements, Note 8—Borrowing Arrangements, are excluded from the calculation of a Fund’s effective leverage ratio.

Yields    as of May 31, 2019
Dividend Yield is the most recent dividend per share (annualized) divided by the offering price per share.
The SEC 30-Day Yield is a standardized measure of a fund’s yield that accounts for the future amortization of premiums or discounts of bonds held in the fund’s portfolio. The SEC 30-Day Yield is computed under an SEC standardized formula and is based on the maximum offer price per share. Subsidized yields reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements from the investment adviser during the period. If any such waivers and/or reimbursements had not been in place, yields would have been reduced. Unsubsidized yields do not reflect waivers and/or reimbursements from the investment adviser during the period. If the fund did not receive a fee waiver/expense reimbursement during the period under its most recent agreement, subsidized and unsubsidized yields will be equal. Refer to the Notes to Financial Statements, Note 7  –  Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates for further details on the investment adviser’s most recent agreement with the Fund to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses, where applicable. Dividend Yield may differ from the SEC 30-Day Yield because the fund may be paying out more or less than it is earning and it may not include the effect of amortization of bond premium.
The Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an after-tax basis at an assumed tax rate. Your actual combined federal and state income tax rates may differ from the assumed rate. Taxable-Equivalent Yield also takes into account the percentage of the Fund’s income generated and paid by the Fund (based on payments made during the previous calendar year) that was either exempt from federal income tax but not from state income tax (e.g., income from an out-of-state municipal bond), or was exempt from neither federal nor state income tax. Separately, if the comparison were instead to investments that generate qualified dividend income, which is taxable at a rate lower than an individual’s ordinary graduated tax rate, the fund’s Taxable-Equivalent Yield would be lower.

1         The SEC Yield for Class A shares quoted in the table reflects the maximum sales load. Investors paying a reduced load because of volume discounts, investors paying no load because they qualify for one of the several exclusions from the load and existing shareholders who previously paid a load but would like to know the SEC Yield applicable to their shares on a going-forward basis, should understand that the SEC Yield effectively applicable to them would be higher than the figure quoted in the table.
2         The Taxable-Equivalent Yield is based on the Fund’s SEC 30-Day Yield on the indicated date and a combined federal and state income tax rate shown in the respective table above.

Expense Examples    
As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including up-front and back-end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees, where applicable; and other Fund expenses. The Examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Examples below do not include the interest and related expenses from inverse floaters that are reflected in the financial statements later within this report, when applicable.
The Examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the period ended May 31, 2019.
The beginning of the period is December 1, 2018.
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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm    
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, 2019, the related statements of operations for the year ended May 31, 2019, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended May 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended May 31, 2019 (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, 2019, 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, 2019 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended May 31, 2019, 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, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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. Ratings are not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm.  
(4) Investment, or portion of investment, has been pledged to collateralize the net payment obligations for investments in inverse floating rate transactions.  
(5) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest.  
(6) Investment has a maturity of greater than one year, but has variable rate and/or demand features which qualify it as a short-term investment. The rate disclosed, as well as the reference rate and spread, where applicable, is that in effect as of the end of the reporting period. This rate changes periodically based on market conditions or a specified market index.  
144A Investment is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These investments may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration, which are normally those transactions with qualified institutional buyers.

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets.  
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns. 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) Effective February 12, 2019, the par value of the original bonds was replaced with taxable and tax exempt Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (commonly known as COFINA) bond units that are collateralized by a bundle of zero and coupon paying bonds. The quantity shown represents units in a trust, which were assigned according to the original bond’s accreted value. These securities do not have a stated coupon interest rate and income will be recognized through accretion of the discount associated with the trust units. The factor at which these units accrete can also decrease, primarily for principal payments generated from coupon payments received or dispositions of the underlying bond collateral. The quantity of units will not change as a result of these principal payments.  
(6) 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.  
(7) Investment has a maturity of greater than one year, but has variable rate and/or demand features which qualify it as a short-term investment. The rate disclosed, as well as the reference rate and spread, where applicable, is that in effect as of the end of the reporting period. This rate changes periodically based on market conditions or a specified market index.  
144A Investment is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These investments may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration, which are normally those transactions with qualified institutional buyers.

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets.  
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns. 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) Investment, or portion of investment, has been pledged to collateralize the net payment obligations for investments in inverse floating rate transactions.

Notes to Financial Statements    
1.  General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
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, 2019, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019 (the "current fiscal period").
Investment Adviser
The Funds' investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC (“Nuveen”). Nuveen is the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA). The Adviser has overall responsibility for management of the Funds, oversees the management of the Funds' portfolios, manages the Funds' business affairs and provides certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services, and, if necessary, asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, (the “Sub-Adviser”), a subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolios of the Funds.
Investment Objectives
Each Fund's investment objective is to provide as high a level of current interest income exempt from regular federal, state, and, in some cases, local income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital.
The Funds' most recent prospectus provides further description of each Fund's investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks.
Significant Accounting Policies
Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 "Financial Services-Investment Companies." The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the specific identification method, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have earmarked securities in their portfolios with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments.
As of the end of the reporting period, the following Funds' outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments were as follows:
  Kentucky Missouri
Outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments $440,000 $12,138,556
Investment Income
Investment income is comprised of interest income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes and, is recorded on an accrual basis. Investment income also reflects payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest and paydown gains and losses, if any. PIK interest represents income received in the form of securities in lieu of cash.
118


Professional Fees
Professional fees presented on the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in an attempt to protect or enhance an investment or to pursue other claims or legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders. If a refund is received for workout expenditures paid in a prior reporting period, such amounts will be recognized as “Legal fee refund” on the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. Fund shares begin to accrue dividends on the business day after the day when the monies used to purchase Fund shares are collected by the transfer agent.
Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Share Classes and Sales Charges
Class A Shares are generally sold with an up-front sales charge and incur a 0.20% annual 12b-1 service fee. Class A Share purchases of $250,000 or more are sold at net asset value (“NAV”) without an up-front sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1% if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase. Class C Shares are sold without an up-front sales charge but incur a 0.75% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a 0.25% annual 12b-1 service fee. 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 C2 Shares incur a 0.55% annual 12b-1 distribution fee and a 0.20% annual 12b-1 service fee. 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 ten years after purchase. Class I Shares are not subject to any sales charge or 12b-1 distribution or service fees.
Multiclass Operations and Allocations
Income and expenses of the Funds that are not directly attributable to a specific class of shares are prorated among the classes based on the relative settled shares of each class. Expenses directly attributable to a class of shares are recorded to the specific class. Currently, the only expenses that are allocated on a class-specific basis are 12b-1 distribution and service fees.
Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Funds are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class.
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.
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.
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 3 - Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the current fiscal period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2.  Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
The fair valuation input levels as described below are for fair value measurement purposes.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.
Level 1  –     Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2  –     Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit spreads, etc.).
Level 3  –     Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
Prices of fixed income securities are provided by an independent pricing service (“pricing service”) approved by the Board. The pricing service establishes a security’s fair value using methods that may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer or market activity provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs.
Certain securities may not be able to be priced by the pre-established pricing methods as described above. Such securities may be valued by the Board and/or its appointee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; debt securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market quotation; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of a Fund’s NAV (as may be the case in non-U.S. markets on which the security is primarily traded) or make it difficult or impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as provided by the pricing service, is not deemed to reflect the security’s fair value. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Board and/or its appointee.
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund’s fair value measurements as of the end of the reporting period:

3.  Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives
Portfolio Securities
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond (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 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.
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 borrow-

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
ings 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 $ 7,620,000 $29,845,000 $4,700,000 $ — $  — $8,020,000
Floating rate obligations: externally-deposited Inverse Floaters 5,250,000 7,190,000 3,150,000  — 13,125,000 750,000
Total $12,870,000 $37,035,000 $7,850,000 $ — $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 $7,620,000 $29,845,000 $4,700,000 $ — $ — $2,825,205
Average annual interest rate and fees 2.17% 2.07% 2.08%  —%  —% 2.12%
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.
The amount of outstanding borrowings 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 self-deposited Inverse Floaters. As of the end of the reporting period, the Funds did not have any outstanding borrowings under such liquidity facilities related to self-deposited Inverse Floaters. As of the end of the reporting period, Ohio had outstanding borrowings of $190,000, under such liquidity facilities related to certain externally-deposited Inverse Floaters, while none of the other Funds had any such loans related to their externally-deposited Inverse Floaters.
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 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’s 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 $6,485,000 $29,845,000 $4,700,000 $ — $  — $8,020,000
Maximum exposure to Recourse Trusts: externally-deposited Inverse Floaters  — 7,190,000 3,150,000  — 13,125,000 750,000
Total $6,485,000 $37,035,000 $7,850,000 $ — $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.
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.
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, 2019.

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.
127


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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. 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, 2019, the complex-level fee for each Fund was as follows:
Fund Complex-Level Fee
Kansas 0.1580%
Kentucky 0.1580%
Michigan 0.1580%
Missouri 0.1686%
Ohio 0.1617%
Wisconsin 0.1580%
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.
Other Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other funds managed by the Adviser (“inter-fund trade”) under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. These procedures have been designed to ensure that any inter-fund trade of securities by the Fund from or to another fund that is, or could be, considered an affiliate of the Fund under certain limited circumstances by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment adviser), common officer and/or common trustee complies with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each inter-fund trade is effected at the current market price as provided by an independent pricing service. Unsettled inter-fund trades as of the end of the reporting period are recognized as a component of “Receivable for investments sold” and/or “Payable for investments purchased” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.
128


During the current fiscal period, the following Funds engaged in inter-fund trades pursuant to these procedures as follows:
Inter-Fund Trades Kansas Missouri Wisconsin
Purchases $5,103,492 $8,382,175 $1,061,450

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) $162,636 $70,191 $79,740 $323,360 $155,033 $220,436
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) $21,550 $15,361 $20,821 $31,853 $34,924 $26,731

  Kansas Kentucky Michigan Missouri Ohio Wisconsin
CDSC retained (Unaudited) $5,276 $6,089 $7,699 $13,075 $7,071 $8,543
8.  Borrowing Arrangements
Committed Line of Credit
The Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Adviser (“Participating Funds”), have established a 364-day, approximately $2.65 billion standby credit facility with a group of lenders, under which the Participating Funds may borrow for various purposes other than leveraging for investment purposes. Each Participating Fund is allocated a designated proportion of the facility’s capacity (and its associated costs, as described below) based upon a multi-factor assessment of the likelihood and frequency of its need to draw on the facility, the size of the Fund and its anticipated draws, and the potential importance of such draws to the operations and well-being of the Fund, relative to those of the other Funds. A Fund may effect draws on the facility in excess of its designated capacity if and to the extent that other Participating Funds have undrawn capacity. The credit facility expires in June 2020 unless extended or renewed.
The credit facility has the following terms: a fee of 0.15% per annum on unused commitment amounts, and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) one-month LIBOR (London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) plus 1.00% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.00% per annum on amounts borrowed. Participating Funds paid administration, legal and arrangement fees, which are recognized as a component of “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 Funds utilized this facility. Each Fund's maximum outstanding balance during the utilization period was as follows:
  Kansas Kentucky Michigan Missouri Ohio Wisconsin
Maximum outstanding balance $5,900,000 $5,086,957 $3,319,534 $2,174,853 $2,703,913 $130,591
129


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
During each 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:
  Kansas Kentucky Michigan Missouri Ohio Wisconsin
Average daily balance outstanding $5,390,329 $5,086,956 $3,319,534 $2,174,853 $2,703,913 $130,591
Average annual interest rate 3.12% 3.50% 3.50% 3.50% 3.50% 3.50%
Borrowings outstanding as of the end of the reporting period, if any, are recognized as "Borrowings" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
9.  New Accounting Pronouncements
Disclosure Update and Simplification
During August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification (“Final Rule Release No. 33-10532”). Final Rule Release No. 33-10532 amends certain financial statement disclosure requirements to conform to U.S. GAAP. The amendments to Rule 6-04.17 of Regulation S-X (balance sheet) remove the requirement to separately state the book basis components of net assets: undistributed (over-distribution of) net investment income (“UNII”), accumulated undistributed net realized gains (losses), and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) at the balance sheet date. Instead, consistent with U.S. GAAP, funds will be required to disclose total distributable earnings. The amendments to Rule 6-09 of Regulation S-X (statement of changes in net assets) remove the requirement to separately state the sources of distributions paid. Instead, consistent with U.S. GAAP, funds will be required to disclose the total amount of distributions paid, except that any tax return of capital must be separately disclosed. The amendments also remove the requirement to parenthetically state the book basis amount of UNII on the statement of changes in net assets.
The requirements of Final Rule Release No. 33-10532 are effective November 5, 2018, and the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the current reporting period have been modified accordingly. In addition, certain amounts within each Fund’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the prior fiscal period have been modified to conform to Final Rule Release No. 33-10532.
For the prior fiscal period, the total amount of distributions paid to shareholders from the net investment income and from accumulated net realized gains, if any, are recognized as "Dividends" on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
As of May 31, 2018, the Funds' Statement of Changes in Net Assets reflected the following UNII balances.
  Kansas Kentucky Michigan Missouri Ohio Wisconsin
UNII at the end of period $133,375 $(747,950) $(186,598) $1,812,791 $(934,593) $125,916
Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework
During August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”), Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework  –  Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosures required by Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. During the current reporting period, management early implemented this guidance. This implementation did not have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report    
(Unaudited)
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.
132


Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Represents the average annualized total return for all reporting funds in the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification. Shareholders should note that the performance of the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average represents the overall average of returns for funds from multiple states with a wide variety of municipal market conditions, making direct comparisons less meaningful. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charge.
Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: A fund’s Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash and accrued earnings) less its total liabilities. For funds with multiple classes, Net Assets are determined separately for each share class. NAV per share is equal to the fund’s (or share class’) Net Assets divided by its number of shares outstanding.
Pre-Refundings: Pre-Refunding, also known as advanced refundings or refinancings, is a procedure used by state and local governments to refinance municipal bonds to lower interest expenses. The issuer sells new bonds with a lower yield and uses the proceeds to buy U.S. Treasury securities, the interest from which is used to make payments on the higher yielding bonds. Because of this collateral, pre-refunding generally raises a bond’s credit rating and thus its value.
S&P Municipal Bond 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.
133


Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process    
(Unaudited)
At a meeting held on May 21-23, 2019 (the “May Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board” and each Trustee, a “Board Member”) of the Funds, including the 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. Following an initial two-year period, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, is required under the 1940 Act to review and approve 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.”
In response to a request on behalf of the Independent Board Members by independent legal counsel, the Board received and reviewed prior to the May Meeting extensive materials specifically prepared for the annual review of Advisory Agreements by the Adviser as well as by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data. The materials provided in connection with the annual review covered a breadth of subject matter including, but not limited to, a description of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Fund Advisers; a review of the Sub-Adviser and investment team; 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 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-Adviser; and a description of indirect benefits received by the Fund Advisers as a result of their relationships with the Nuveen funds. The Board Members held an in-person meeting on April 17-18, 2019 (the “April Meeting”), in part, to review and discuss the performance of the Nuveen funds and the Adviser’s evaluation of the various sub-advisers to the Nuveen funds. The Independent Board Members asked questions and requested additional information that was provided for the May Meeting.
The information prepared specifically for the annual review of the Advisory Agreements supplemented the information provided to the Board and its committees throughout the year. The Board and its committees met regularly during the year and the information provided and topics discussed were relevant to the review of the Advisory Agreements. Some of these reports and other data included, among other things, materials that outlined the investment performance of the Nuveen funds; strategic plans of the Adviser which may impact the services it provides to the Nuveen funds; the review of the Nuveen funds and applicable investment teams; compliance, regulatory and risk management matters; the trading practices of the various sub-advisers; valuation of securities; fund expenses; payments to financial intermediaries, including 12b-1 fees and sub-transfer agency fees; and overall market and regulatory developments. The Board further continued its practice of seeking to meet periodically with the various sub-advisers to the Nuveen funds and their investment teams, when feasible. The Independent Board Members considered the review of the Advisory Agreements 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 Fund 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.
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.
134


In deciding to renew the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members did not identify a particular factor or information as determinative or controlling, but rather the decision reflected the comprehensive consideration of all the information provided, 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 and its 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 Board recognized that the Adviser provides a comprehensive set of services necessary to operate the Nuveen funds in a highly regulated industry and noted that the scope of such services has expanded over the years as a result of regulatory, market and other developments, such as the development of the liquidity management program and expanded compliance programs. Some of the functions the Adviser is responsible for include, but are not limited to: product management (such as analyzing a fund’s position in the marketplace, setting dividends, preparing shareholder and intermediary communications and other due diligence support); investment oversight (such as analyzing fund performance, sub-advisers and investment teams and analyzing trade executions of portfolio transactions, soft dollar practices and securities lending activities); securities valuation services (such as executing the daily valuation process for portfolio securities and developing and recommending changes to valuation policies and procedures); risk management (such as overseeing operational and investment risks, including stress testing); fund administration (such as preparing fund tax returns and other tax compliance services, overseeing the Nuveen funds’ independent public accountants and other service providers; managing fund budgets and expenses; and helping to fulfill the funds’ regulatory filing requirements); oversight of shareholder services and transfer agency functions (such as oversight and liaison of transfer agent service providers which include registered shareholder customer service and transaction processing); 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 developing and maintaining a compliance program to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, monitoring compliance with applicable fund policies and procedures and adherence to investment restrictions, and evaluating the compliance programs of the Nuveen fund sub-advisers and certain other service providers); and legal support and oversight of outside law firms (such as with respect to filing and updating registration statements; maintaining various regulatory registrations; and providing legal interpretations regarding fund activities, applicable regulations and implementation of policies and procedures). In reviewing the scope and quality of services, the Board recognized the continued efforts and resources the Adviser and its affiliates have employed to continue to enhance their services for the benefit of the complex as well as particular Nuveen funds over recent years. Such service enhancements have included, but are not limited to:
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 enhance the shareholder outcomes through, among other things, repositioning funds, merging funds, introducing additional share classes, reviewing and updating investment policies and benchmarks, modifying the composition of certain portfolio management teams and analyzing various data to help devise such improvements;
Capital Initiatives  –  continuing to invest capital to support new funds with initial capital as well as to facilitate modifications to the strategies or structure of existing funds;
Compliance Program Initiatives  –  continuing efforts to enhance the compliance program through, among other things, internally integrating various portfolio management teams and aligning compliance support accordingly, completing a comprehensive review of existing policies and procedures and revising such policies and procedures as appropriate, enhancing compliance-related technologies and workflows, and optimizing compliance shared services across the organization and affiliates;
Risk Management and Valuation Services - continuing efforts to strengthen the risk management functions, including through, among other things, enhancing the interaction and reporting between the investment risk management team and various affiliates, increasing the efficiency of risk monitoring performed on the Nuveen funds through improved reporting, continuing to implement risk programs designed to provide a more disciplined and consistent approach to identifying and mitigating operational risks, continuing progress on implementing a liquidity program that complies with the new liquidity regulatory requirements and continuing to oversee the daily valuation process;
Additional Compliance Services  –  continuing investment of time and resources necessary to develop the compliance policies and procedures and other related tools necessary to meet the various new regulatory requirements affecting the Nuveen funds that have been adopted over recent years;
Government Relations  –  continuing efforts of various Nuveen teams and affiliates to advocate and communicate their positions with lawmakers and other regulatory bodies on issues that will impact the Nuveen funds;
135


Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery and Information Services  –  establishing an information security program to help identify and manage information security risks, periodically testing disaster recovery plans, maintaining and updating business continuity plans and providing reports to the Board, at least annually, addressing, among other things, management’s security risk assessment, cyber risk profile, incident tracking and other relevant information technology risk-related reports; and
Expanded Dividend Management Services  –  continuing to expand the services necessary to manage the dividends among the varying types of Nuveen funds that have developed as the Nuveen complex has grown in size and scope.
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. The Board noted that the Adviser oversees the Sub-Adviser and considered an analysis of the Sub-Adviser provided by the Adviser which included, among other things, the Sub-Adviser’s assets under management and changes thereto, a summary of the investment team and changes thereto, the investment approach of the team and the performance of the funds sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser over various periods. The Board further considered at the May Meeting or prior meetings evaluations of the Sub-Adviser’s compliance program and trade execution. 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 the investment performance of the Nuveen funds they advise. In this regard, the Board reviewed Fund performance over the quarter, one-, three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2018 as well as performance data for the first quarter of 2019 ending March 29, 2019. 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. Unless otherwise indicated, the performance data referenced below reflects the periods ended December 31, 2018. The Board considered the Adviser’s analysis of each fund’s performance, with particular focus on funds that were considered performance outliers and the factors contributing to their performance. The Board also noted that it received performance data of the Nuveen funds during its quarterly meetings throughout the year and took into account the discussions that occurred at these Board meetings regarding fund performance. In this regard, in its evaluation of Nuveen fund performance at meetings throughout the year, the Board considered performance information for the funds for different time periods, both absolute and relative to appropriate benchmarks and peers, with particular attention to information indicating underperformance of the respective funds and discussed with the Adviser the reasons for such underperformance.
The Board reviewed both absolute and relative fund performance during the annual review. 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). 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) 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. Depending on the facts and circumstances, however, the Board may be satisfied with a fund’s performance notwithstanding that its performance may be below its benchmark or peer group for certain periods. In addition, the performance data may vary significantly depending on the end date selected, and shareholders may evaluate fund performance based on their own holding period which may differ from the performance periods reviewed by the Board leading to different results. Further, the Board considered a fund’s performance in light of the overall financial market conditions during the respective periods. As noted above, the Board reviewed, among other things, Nuveen fund performance over various periods ended December 31, 2018, and the Board was aware of the market decline in the fourth quarter of 2018 and considered performance from the first quarter of 2019 as well. The Board also noted that a shorter period of underperformance may significantly impact longer term performance.
In their review of performance, the Independent Board Members focused, in particular, on the Adviser’s analysis of Nuveen funds determined to be underperforming performance outliers. The Board recognized that some periods of underperformance may only be temporary while other periods of underperformance may indicate a broader issue that may require a corrective action. Accordingly, 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 efforts undertaken.
The Board’s determinations with respect to each Fund are summarized below.
136


For Nuveen Kansas Municipal Bond Fund (the “Kansas Fund”), the Board noted that the Fund ranked in the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-, three- and five-year periods. In addition, although the Fund’s performance was below its benchmark for the three-year period, the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one- and five-year periods. 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 its benchmark in the one-, three- and five-year periods, the Fund ranked in the third quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one- and three-year periods and second quartile for the five-year period. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.
For Nuveen Michigan Municipal Bond Fund (the “Michigan Fund”), the Board noted that although the Fund ranked in the fourth quartile of its Performance Peer Group in the one-year period, the Fund ranked in the second quartile for the three-year period and first quartile for the five-year period. In addition, although the Fund’s performance was below its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods, the Fund outperformed its benchmark in the five-year period. The Board noted that the Fund’s relative peer performance improved in the first quarter of 2019. The Fund ranked in the second quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one- and three-year periods and first quartile for the five-year period ended March 29, 2019. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.
For Nuveen Missouri Municipal Bond Fund (the “Missouri Fund”), the Board noted that the Fund ranked in the second quartile of its Performance Peer Group in the one-year period and first quartile in the three- and five-year periods. In addition, although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the one-year period, the Fund outperformed the benchmark in the three- and five-year periods. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.
For Nuveen Ohio Municipal Bond Fund (the “Ohio Fund”), the Board noted that the Fund ranked in the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group for the one-, three- and five-year periods. In addition, although the Fund’s performance was below the performance of its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods, the Fund outperformed its benchmark in the five-year period. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.
For Nuveen Wisconsin Municipal Bond Fund (the “Wisconsin Fund”), the Board noted that the Fund ranked in the first quartile of its Performance Peer Group in the one-, three- and five-year periods. In addition, although the Fund’s performance was below its benchmark in the three-year period, the Fund outperformed its benchmark in the one- and five-year periods. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.
C. Fees, Expenses and Profitability
1. Fees and Expenses
In its annual review, the Board considered the fees paid to the Fund Advisers and the total operating expense ratio of each Nuveen fund, before and after any undertaking by Nuveen to limit the fund’s total annual operating expenses to certain levels. 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 to a more focused subset of comparable funds (the “Peer Group”) established by Broadridge. 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”), which included the Wisconsin Fund (as further discussed below), 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 $51.5 million and fund-level breakpoints reduced fees by $55.1 million in 2018. Further, fee caps and waivers for all applicable Nuveen funds saved an additional $15 million in fees for shareholders in 2018.
With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board considered the sub-advisory fee paid to the Sub-Adviser, including any breakpoint schedule, and as described below, comparative data of the fees the Sub-Adviser charges to other clients, if any.
137


Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
The Independent Board Members noted that the Kansas Fund and the Michigan Fund each had a net management fee slightly higher than its peer average but a net expense ratio in line with its peer average; the Kentucky Fund and the Missouri Fund each had a net management fee slightly higher than its peer average but a net expense ratio below its peer average; the Ohio Fund had a net management fee in line with its peer average and a net expense ratio below its peer average; and the Wisconsin Fund had a net management fee and a net expense ratio slightly higher than the respective peer average. The Independent Board Members noted that the Wisconsin Fund’s net total expense ratio was slightly higher than the Peer Group average in 2018 due, in part, to an increase in the Fund’s interest expense. 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 reviewed 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 sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser but 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 wrap accounts and municipal institutional accounts.
In addition to the comparative fee data, the Board also reviewed, among other things, a description of the different levels of services provided to the clients noted above compared to the services provided to the Nuveen funds 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 noted, among other things, the wide range of services in addition to investment management services provided to the Nuveen funds when the Adviser is principally responsible for all aspects of operating the funds, including the increased regulatory requirements that must be met in managing the funds, the larger account sizes of managed accounts and the increased entrepreneurial, legal and regulatory risks that the Adviser incurs in sponsoring and managing the 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 conjunction with their review of fees, the Independent Board Members considered information regarding Nuveen’s level of profitability for its advisory services to the Nuveen funds for the calendar years 2018 and 2017. 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); revenues, expenses, and net income (pre-tax and after-tax and before distribution) of Nuveen for fund advisory services; and comparative profitability data comparing the adjusted margins of Nuveen compared to the adjusted margins of certain peers with 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. The Board also reviewed the revenues and expenses the Adviser derived from its exchange-traded fund product line that was launched in 2016. The Independent Board Members noted that Nuveen’s net margins were higher in 2018 than the previous year and considered the key drivers behind the revenue and expense changes that impacted Nuveen’s net margins between the years. The Board considered the costs of investments in the Nuveen business, including the investment of seed capital in certain Nuveen funds and additional investments in infrastructure and technology. The Independent Board Members also noted that Nuveen’s adjusted margins from its relationships with the Nuveen funds were on the low range compared to the adjusted margins of the peers; however, the Independent Board Members recognized the inherent limitations of the comparative data of other publicly traded peers given that the calculation of profitability is rather subjective and numerous factors (such as types of funds, business mix, cost of capital, methodology to allocate expenses and other factors) can have a significant impact on the results.
The Independent Board Members also reviewed a description of the expense allocation methodology employed to develop the financial information and a summary of the history of changes to the methodology over the ten-year period from 2008 to 2018, and recognized that other reasonable allocation methodologies could be employed and lead to significantly different results. The Board noted that two Independent Board Members, along with independent counsel, serve as the Board’s liaisons to review profitability and discuss any proposed changes to the methodology prior to the full Board’s review.
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”). As such, the Board also reviewed a balance sheet for TIAA reflecting its assets, liabilities and capital and contingency reserves for the 2018 and 2017 calendar years to consider the financial strength of TIAA having recognized the importance of having an adviser with significant resources.
138


In addition to Nuveen, the Independent Board Members also considered the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from its relationships with the Nuveen funds. In this regard, the Independent Board Members reviewed the Sub-Adviser’s revenues, expenses and revenue margins (pre- and post-tax) for its advisory activities for the calendar year ended December 31, 2018. 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, 2018 and the pre- and post-tax revenue margin from 2018 and 2017.
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
With respect to economies of scale, the Independent Board Members noted that although economies of scale are difficult to measure, the Adviser shares the benefits of economies of scale in various ways including breakpoints in the management fee schedule (subject to limited exceptions), fee waivers and/or expense limitations, the pricing of Nuveen funds at scale at inception and investments in its business which can enhance the services provided to the funds for the fees paid. With respect to breakpoint schedules, because the Board had previously recognized that economies of scale may occur not only when the assets of a particular Nuveen fund grow but also when the assets in the complex grow, the Nuveen funds generally pay the Adviser a management fee comprised of a fund-level component and a complex-level component each with its own breakpoint schedule, subject to certain exceptions. In general terms, the breakpoint schedule at the fund level reduces fees as assets in the particular fund pass certain thresholds and the breakpoint schedule at the complex level reduces fees on the Nuveen funds as the eligible assets in the complex pass certain thresholds. The Independent Board Members reviewed, among other things, the fund-level and complex-level fee schedules and 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 2017 and 2018), including the permanent expense cap for the Ohio Fund. The Independent Board Members noted that as a result of fund-level management fee changes implemented in June 2017, none of the Nuveen open-end funds were above their top level fee breakpoint.
In addition, the Independent Board Members recognized the Adviser’s continued reinvestment in its business through, among other things, investments in its business infrastructure and information technology, portfolio accounting system as well as other systems and platforms that will, among other things, support growth, simplify and enhance information sharing, and enhance the investment process to the benefit of all of the Nuveen funds.
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 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 as a result of serving as principal underwriter. In addition, the Independent Board Members also noted that the Sub-Adviser engages in soft dollar transactions pursuant to which it may receive the benefit of research products and other services provided by broker-dealers executing portfolio transactions on behalf of the applicable Nuveen funds.
The Board, however, noted that the 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. Further, the Board noted that although the Sub-Adviser may benefit from the receipt of research and other services that it may otherwise have to pay for out of its own resources, the research may also benefit the Nuveen funds to the extent it enhances the ability of the Sub-Adviser to manage such funds or is acquired through the commissions paid on portfolio transactions of other clients.
Based on their 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.

These positions have involved overseeing operations and finances of certain entities and assessing the adequacy of project/entity financing and financial reporting. Currently, Ms. Stone is on the Board of Directors of CBOE Holdings, Inc., of the Chicago Board Options Exchange, and of C2 Options Exchange. Ms. Stone’s position on the boards of these entities and as a member of both CBOE Holdings’ Audit Committee and its Finance Committee has involved, among other things, the oversight of audits, audit plans and preparation of financial statements.

Mr. Evans was formerly President and Chief Operating Officer of SCI Financial Group, Inc., a full service registered broker-dealer and registered investment adviser (“SCI”). As part of his role as President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Evans actively supervised the Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”) and actively supervised the CFO’s preparation of financial statements and other filings with various regulatory authorities. In such capacity, Mr. Evans was actively involved in the preparation of SCI’s financial statements and the resolution of issues raised in connection therewith. Mr. Evans has also served on the audit committee of various reporting companies. At such companies, Mr. Evans was involved in the oversight of audits, audit plans, and the preparation of financial statements. Mr. Evans also formerly chaired the audit committee of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.

Mr. Hunter was formerly a Senior Vice President at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. As part of his role as Senior Vice President, Mr. Hunter was the senior officer responsible for all operations of each of the Economic Research, Statistics, and Community and Consumer Affairs units at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.

Prior to serving as Senior Vice President at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Mr. Hunter was the Vice President of the Financial Markets unit at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta where he supervised financial staff and bank holding company analysts who analyzed and evaluated bank and bank holding company financial statements.

Mr. Hunter also formerly was a Professor of Finance at the University of Connecticut School of Business and has authored numerous scholarly articles on the topics of finance, accounting and economics.

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 Chairman (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).
