Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

Whether politics or the economy will prevail over the financial markets this year has been a much-analyzed question. After the U.S. presidential election, stocks rallied to new all-time highs, bonds tumbled, and business and consumer sentiment grew pointedly optimistic. But, to what extent the White House can translate rhetoric into stronger economic and corporate earnings growth remains to be seen. Stock prices have experienced upward momentum driven by positive economic news and earnings growth, inflation is ticking higher and interest rates are higher amid the Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hikes.

At the year’s halfway point, the political landscape and its implications for the economy continue to be reevaluated. The lack of success in reforming health care policy has cast doubts on the president’s ability to move his agenda of pro-growth legislation forward. Additionally, Brexit negotiations in the U.K. face new uncertainties in light of the reshuffling of Parliament following the June snap election.

Nevertheless, there is a case for optimism. The jobs recovery, firming wages, the housing market and confidence measures are supportive of continued expansion in the economy. The Fed enacted a series of interest rate hikes in December 2016, March 2017 and June 2017, a vote of confidence that its employment and inflation targets are generally on track. Economies outside the U.S. have strengthened in recent months, possibly heralding the beginnings of a global synchronized recovery. Furthermore, the populist/nationalist undercurrent that helped deliver President Trump’s win and triggered the U.K.’s Brexit remained in the minority during both March’s Dutch general election and May’s French presidential election, easing the political uncertainty surrounding Germany’s elections later this year.

In the meantime, the markets will be focused on economic sentiment surveys along with “hard” data such as consumer and business spending to gauge the economy’s progress. With the Fed now signaling its intention to begin shrinking its balance sheet in addition to raising interest rates, policy moves that are more aggressive than expected could spook the markets and potentially stifle economic growth. On the political economic front, President Trump’s other signature platform plank, protectionism, is arguably anti-growth. We expect some churning in the markets as these issues sort themselves out.

Market volatility readings have been remarkably low of late, but conditions can change quickly. As market conditions evolve, Nuveen remains committed to rigorously assessing opportunities and risks. If you’re concerned about how resilient your investment portfolio might be, we encourage you to talk to your financial advisor. 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,

William J. Schneider
Chairman of the Board
July 24, 2017

What factors affected the U.S. economy and the national municipal market during the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2017?

During the twelve-month reporting period, the U.S. economy continued to grow moderately, now ranking the current expansion as the third-longest since World War II, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. The second half of 2016 saw a short-term boost in economic activity, driven by a one-time jump in exports during the third quarter, but the economy resumed a below-trend pace thereafter. The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported an annual growth rate of 1.2% for the U.S. economy in the

first quarter of 2017, as measured by the “second” estimate of real gross domestic product (GDP), which is 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. By comparison, the annual GDP growth rate in the fourth quarter of 2016 was 2.1%.

Despite the slowdown in early 2017, other data pointed to positive momentum. The labor market continued to tighten, inflation ticked higher, and consumer and business confidence surveys reflected optimism about the economy’s prospects. As reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate fell to 4.3% in May 2017 from 4.7% in May 2016 and job gains averaged around 181,000 per month for the past twelve months. Higher oil prices helped drive a steady increase in inflation over this reporting period. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 1.9% over the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2017 on a seasonally adjusted basis, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The core CPI (which excludes food and energy) increased 1.7% during the same period, slightly below the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) unofficial longer term inflation objective of 2.0%. The housing market also continued to improve, with historically low mortgage rates and low inventory driving home prices higher. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index, which covers all nine U.S. census divisions, recorded a 5.5% annual gain in April 2017 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared) (effective July 26, 2016, the S&P/Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index was renamed the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index). The 10-City and 20-City Composites reported year-over-year increases of 4.9% and 5.7%, respectively.

The Fed’s policy making committee raised its main benchmark interest rate in December 2016, March 2017 and June 2017 (subsequent to the close of this reporting period). These moves were widely expected by the markets and, while the Fed acknowledged in its June 2017 statement that inflation has remained unexpectedly low, an additional increase is anticipated later in 2017 as the Fed seeks to gradually “normalize” interest rates. Also after the June 2017 meeting, the Fed revealed its plan to begin shrinking its balance sheets by allowing a small amount of maturing Treasury and mortgage securities to roll off without reinvestment. The timing of this is less certain, however, as it depends on whether the economy performs in line with the Fed’s expectations.

Politics also dominated the headlines in this reporting period with two major electoral surprises: the U.K.’s vote to leave the European Union and Donald Trump’s win in the U.S. presidential race. Market volatility increased as markets digested the initial shocks, but generally recovered and, in the case of the “Trump rally,” U.S. equities saw significant gains. Investors also closely watched elections across Europe. To the markets’ relief, more mainstream candidates were elected in the Dutch and French elections in the spring of 2017. However, Britain’s June 2017 snap election unexpectedly overturned the Conservative Party’s majority in Parliament, which increased uncertainties about the Brexit negotiation process.

For the municipal bond market, performance was defined by a major sell-off in municipal bonds following the presidential election and the market’s subsequent recovery in the first half of 2017. Prior to the election, municipal bond mutual funds had been drawing steady inflows from September 2015 to October 2016, which kept demand outpacing supply and supported prices. However, beginning in mid-October, demand began to soften in anticipation of a Fed rate hike. Municipal bond prices continued to fall in November after President Trump’s win triggered rising inflation and interest rate expectations as well as speculation on tax code changes, and in December 2016 due to tax-loss selling. A sharp rise in interest rates after the election fueled a reversal in municipal bond fund flow. Municipal bond funds experienced large outflows in the fourth quarter of 2016, especially in the high yield municipal segment, which drove mutual fund managers to sell positions to help meet investor redemptions. At the same time, new issuance spiked in October 2016, further contributing to excess supply and exacerbating falling prices and credit spread widening.

However, stabilizing market conditions in December gave way to a rally in the first quarter of 2017. Concerns that the new administration’s fiscal, tax and health care policy agenda could have a potentially negative impact on municipal bonds eased somewhat. By the end of the reporting period, interest rates reached a higher level than where they began.

In the reporting period overall, municipal bond issuance nationwide totaled $421.0 billion, an 8.1% gain from the issuance for the twelve-month period ended May 31, 2016. Gross issuance remains robust as issuers continue to actively and aggressively refund their outstanding debt given the low interest rate environment. 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%-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. In fact, the total municipal bonds outstanding has actually declined in each of the past four calendar years. So, the gross is surging, but the net is not and this was an overall positive technical factor on municipal bond investment performance in recent years. However, as interest rates moved higher, the pace of refunding deals began to moderate.

Although the municipal bond market experienced widening credit spreads over a short period after the election, the trend was more attributable to technical conditions than a change in the fundamental backdrop. Despite the U.S. economy’s rather sluggish recovery, improving state and local balance sheets have contributed to generally good credit fundamentals. Higher tax revenue growth, better expense management and a more cautious approach to new debt issuance have led to credit upgrades and stable credit outlooks for many state and local issuers. While some pockets of weakness continued to grab headlines, including Illinois, New Jersey and Puerto Rico, their problems were largely contained, with minimal spillover into the broader municipal market.

What were the economic and market conditions in Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina and Virginia during the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2017?

Georgia’s economy continues to outperform, thanks to Atlanta’s resilient private sector. Georgia’s unemployment rate of 4.9% harkens back to pre-recession days. Georgia’s economy is well diversified, although geographically concentrated around the Atlanta metropolitan area. Home prices in the Atlanta area were up 5.8% year-over-year as of April 2017 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared), according to the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index. The state’s revenues have been tracking above budget. Total net tax revenue collections were 4.1% higher through April 2017, as compared to April 2016. Georgia’s Revenue Shortfall Reserve, or rainy day fund, stands at $1.7 billion in March 2017. That is the largest balance since before the great recession. For Fiscal Year 2018, Georgia adopted a $25 billion state budget that is based on a 3.5% increase in general fund revenues over Fiscal Year 2017. The enacted budget continues the trend of using revenue growth to support program expansion and restoration of prior year cuts. Education funding is up notably with $516 million for K-12, which includes a 2% increase to the state base salary for certified personnel and additional funding for the Teachers Retirement System. Georgia recently enacted a constitutional cap on its income tax rate at the current level of 6%. Personal income tax is Georgia’s largest revenue source accounting for nearly half of the state’s general fund receipts. As of June 2017, Georgia’s general obligation debt continued to be rated Aaa/AAA/AAA with stable outlooks from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively. For the twelve months ended May 31, 2017, municipal issuance in Georgia totaled $7.3 billion, an increase of 3% from the twelve months ended May 31, 2016.

While Maryland’s economy fared better than most throughout the recession, economic growth during the recovery can be characterized as slow and steady. In Fiscal Year 2016 the state’s real GDP increased 1.3%, which slightly trailed the U.S. average, placing it 24th among all states. Maryland’s economy has historically benefited from its proximity to the nation’s capital through job growth and drawing high income earners as residents. However, the state’s closeness to Washington D.C. means a greater dependency on federal employment than in most states, leaving it vulnerable to future federal cost-cutting. Government employment accounts for nearly 19% of all state employment. Maryland has one of the nation’s best educated workforces, which has facilitated the development of advanced technology and the growth of public and private research facilities. Combined with the influence of the government sector and the presence of over 50 universities, this has made Maryland a center for national security and medical and biomedical research. May’s unemployment rate of 3.9% is below the national average of 4.3%. Maryland ended Fiscal Year 2015 and Fiscal Year 2016 with general fund operating surpluses. The state continues to demonstrate strong overall financial flexibility and prudent fiscal management as Fiscal Year 2017 revenues underperformed budgeted expectations, which prompted revenue revisions for Fiscal Year 2018. The state was able to successfully close the Fiscal Year 2017 mid-year budget gap with expenditure

reductions and a transfer from the revenue stabilization account. As of May 2017, Moody’s, S&P and Fitch rated Maryland general obligation debt at Aaa/AAA/AAA with stable outlooks. During the twelve months ended May 31, 2017, municipal issuance in the state totaled $10.9 billion, a gross issuance increase of 64% from the previous twelve months.

Minnesota’s economic growth lagged the national growth rate in 2016 with Minnesota’s GDP growing 1.3% but outpaced its regional peers, ranking as the 23rd fastest growing state economy. Minnesota’s GDP growth was driven by gains in the durable goods manufacturing, financial & insurance services, and retail trade sectors. As of May 2017, Minnesota’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 3.7% remained well below the national unemployment rate of 4.3%. Home prices in the Minneapolis area were up 6.3% year-over-year as of April 2017 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared), according to the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index. In 2016, Minnesota state exports declined by 4.1% with the largest declines in machinery and passenger vehicles. Going into the current fiscal year, Minnesota had a $1.6 billion surplus. After an extended legislative session, Minnesota’s Legislature passed the state’s $46 billion Fiscal Year 2018-2019 budget which includes bills for $650 million in tax cuts, $483 million in additional funding to schools, $210 million increase to public colleges and universities, and $300 million in new funding for transportation. The budget bills are now waiting for Governor Dayton’s signature. As of May 26, 2017, Dayton announced that he is undecided if he will sign or veto the bills. Should the governor veto even one spending bill, it will be returned to the legislature and will have to be renegotiated during a special session. As of July 2016 the state’s S&P and Moody’s ratings were AA+ and Aa1, respectively, and S&P maintains a positive outlook while Moody’s outlook is stable. For the twelve months ended May 31, 2017, municipal issuance in Minnesota totaled $8.1 billion, representing an 11.9% decrease from the twelve months ended May 31, 2016.

Missouri’s economic recovery continues to lag national economic growth. For 2016, national GDP grew 1.5% and outpaced Missouri’s growth of 1.1%. Missouri’s growth ranked 22nd nationally. As of May 2017, Missouri’s unemployment rate of 4.2% remains below the national unemployment rate of 4.3%. The state saw growth in the following sectors: manufacturing, trade/transportation/utilities, financial activities, professional and business services, education and health services, and leisure and hospitality. Missouri’s state exports increased by 2.1% in 2016, attributable to civilian aircraft and trade increasing with Canada and Mexico. The Missouri Constitution requires that the state pass a balanced budget. Due to income tax collections running slightly behind estimates, the Fiscal Year 2018 budget includes a 6.6% cut to Missouri colleges and universities. 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, 2017, municipal issuance in Missouri totaled $4.3 billion, representing a 21.9% decrease from the twelve months ended May 31, 2016.

North Carolina’s economic growth was up year-over-year, but the rate of growth slowed in 2016 with real GDP increasing 1.6% over Fiscal Year 2015, ranking it 19th among all states. As the state’s economy transitions away from old-line manufacturing into sectors oriented toward research, technology and services, the roles of the state’s high quality universities and research triangle will continue to become more important. The federal government remains the largest employer in the state due to the large military installments, including Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune, which are the two largest employers in the state with more than 110,000 workers. As of May 2017 the state’s not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 4.5% was slightly above the national average of 4.3%. According to the S&P/Case-Shiller Index of 20 major metropolitan areas, housing prices in Charlotte rose 6.1% during the twelve months ended April 2017 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared). North Carolina’s constitution constrains the amount of general obligation debt the state can issue in any biennium. This has resulted in a relatively low debt burden when compared to many of its peers. Moody’s May 2017 state debt median report notes that North Carolina ranked 34th for net tax-supported debt per capita and 33rd as a percent of personal income. The state closed Fiscal Year 2016 with an operating surplus and Fiscal Year 2017 revenue projections indicate another year of strong financial performance driven by continued economic growth and prudent fiscal management. As of May 2017, Moody’s, S&P and Fitch rated North Carolina general obligation debt at Aaa/AAA/AAA with stable outlooks. During the twelve months ended May 31, 2017, municipal issuance in North Carolina totaled $5.9 billion, a decrease of 11.7% from the previous twelve months.

Virginia’s economy is led by government, professional and business services and its proximity to the Washington D.C. area has historically provided stability in the northern portion of the state. The state’s real GDP growth increased 2.4% in Fiscal Year 2015 and then slowed in Fiscal Year 2016 increasing by 0.6%, placing it 39th among all states. May’s unemployment rate of 3.8% is below the national average of 4.3%. According to the S&P/Case-Shiller Index of 20 major metropolitan areas, housing prices in the Washington D.C. area rose 3.6% during the twelve months ended April 2017 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared). Projected growth in high skill services industries over the next year is expected to translate to greater residential demand, particularly in the northern portion of the state. Fiscal Year-End 2016 financials reflected a slight decline in the general fund balance due primarily to lower than anticipated income tax collections. Revenue underperformance prompted a budget revision for the current biennium that included the recommendation of several expenditure reductions and a possible reserve drawdown. While the state faces some budgetary challenges, overall it should fare well due to its high degree of financial flexibility. As of May 2017, Moody’s and Fitch rated Virginia general obligation debt at Aaa/AAA with stable outlooks, and S&P rated Virginia general obligation debt at AAA with a negative outlook. During the twelve months ended May 31, 2017, issuance in Virginia totaled $76.2 billion, a decrease of 14.1% from the previous twelve months.

What key strategies were used to manage these Funds during the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2017?

The reporting period encompassed a number of distinct phases. From June 2016 to November 2016, the market underwent an orderly backup after yields bottomed out subsequent to the June 2016 Brexit vote. New issue supply was also generally heavy as issuers rushed to market ahead of the eventual December 2016 rate hike. After the presidential election, however, municipal bonds sold off sharply, widening credit spreads and giving back the market’s year-to-date gains. Conditions then stabilized in late 2016 and early 2017, as political consensus among the White House and Congress seemed less likely and economic data were underwhelming. Credit spreads tightened, while yields on an absolute basis remained at higher levels.

In this environment, our trading activity continued to focus on pursuing the Funds’ investment objectives. We continued to seek bonds in areas of the market that we expected to perform well as the economy continued to improve. The Funds’ positioning emphasized intermediate and longer maturities, lower-rated credits and sectors offering higher yields. To fund these purchases, we generally reinvested the proceeds from called and maturing bonds. In some cases, we sold bonds that we believed had deteriorating fundamentals or could be traded for a better relative value, as well as selling short-dated, higher quality issues that we tend to hold over short timeframes as a source of liquidity. For NKG, NMY, NMS and NNC, we also invested the proceeds from incremental preferred share offerings that were conducted as part of the overall management of the Funds’ leverage.

NKG bought intermediate duration bonds in the mid- to high-grade credit segments, across a range of sectors, including state general obligations (GOs), tax increment, health care, local appropriation, student housing, and water and sewer. We also did some tax loss swaps, which means we sold some depreciated bonds and simultaneously replaced them with similarly structured bonds to realize a capital loss, which can be used to offset future capital gains.

The Maryland Fund was also an active buyer during this reporting period, which resulted in the lengthening of the Fund’s overall duration. We added higher yielding credits issued for Maryland’s Purple Line light rail, University Town Center and several health care issues, including Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, Maryland, Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore and Adventist Hospital in Rockville, Maryland. Many of these securities were bought before the election, at the market’s peak, and were replaced with more attractive structures post-election. In the high grade segment, we bought Baltimore Wastewater bonds, some of which were held in a tender option bond trust, and AAA rated bonds for Washington Suburban Sanitation District. To keep the Fund fully invested, especially in the late summer of 2016 when Maryland-issued paper was scarce, NMY bought some out-of-state bonds issued for New York LaGuardia Airport, American Airlines JFK Airport and New York City tobacco settlement, as these bonds can be sold more easily as sources of liquidity when new in-state opportunities arise. We also added Guam-issued Section 30 bonds, which are secured by the taxes paid by military personnel on the island. Buying was funded by the proceeds from called and maturing

bonds, as well as from the relevering program. We also reinvested the cash from the sale of nearly all of the Fund’s uninsured Virgin Islands paper (an odd lot power bond remains in the portfolio), uninsured Puerto Rico credits and zero coupon COFINA (Puerto Rico sales tax revenue) bonds. NMY also trimmed its holding of American Airlines stock, which was received when the Fund’s holding of bonds issued by Puerto Rico Ports Authority for American Airlines was converted into equity as part of the merger with US Airways, which was completed in December 2013. Over time, we have sold these shares and reinvested the proceeds into municipal bonds.

In NMS, the backup in yields in late 2016 provided an opportunity both to modestly restructure the Fund’s average coupon positioning and to book new positions at higher yields than had been prevalent for some time. Purchases over the course of the reporting period included both mid- and high-grade credits. We added exposure to the utility sector via names such as the Western Minnesota Municipal Power Agency, Minnesota Municipal Power Agency, and Rochester Electric. Away from the utility sector, other notable acquisitions included bonds of the Minneapolis St. Paul Metropolitan Airport and Carleton College. Most purchases were funded from either the proceeds from call activity, the July 2016 relevering program, or tax loss swapping activity where bonds with lower historical acquisition yields were sold and replaced with new positions at the prevailing higher market yields (often with higher and less volatile coupon structures).

Trading activity in NOM was relatively subdued in this reporting period. The Missouri Fund reinvested proceeds from calls in a variety of names across the credit spectrum. Notable purchases included a AAA rated issue for the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District as well as non-rated bonds issued for the Ranken-Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital, a specialty children’s hospital. We also performed one tax loss swap designed to increase the Fund’s income distribution capability. Additionally, a tender option bond was called during the reporting period, which decreased the amount of leverage in NOM.

The North Carolina Fund added bonds mainly of medium credit quality, with intermediate to longer duration profiles, representing a range of sectors. Notable buys included higher education (Duke University), electric utility and Charlotte Airport bonds, as well as a AAA rated GO. The purchases were funded mainly from call activity. NNC also found opportunities for tax loss swaps during the reporting period.

Prior to the election, NPV bought some transportation credits, including bonds issued for Metropolitan DC Airports and Capital Region Airport: Richmond International Airport. After the market stabilized, we traded the Metropolitan DC Airports bonds for similar structure bonds but at a higher yield, as well as sold short-dated, high grade paper for more appealing long-term investments in revenue bonds such as Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel, Richmond Public Utility, Marymount University and University of Virginia (some of which was put in a tender option bond trust). As a result of these purchases, the Fund’s overall duration lengthened over the course of the reporting period. We also bought some out-of-state bonds as “placeholders,” including American Airlines JKF Airport, which could provide liquidity when new Virginia issues become available, as well as added Guam Section 30 bonds (also bought by NMY). Called and maturing bonds provided some of the funding for new purchases, as did the sale of NPV’s uninsured Virgin Islands paper, except for an odd lot Virgin Islands power bond.

As of May 31, 2017, NKG, NMY, NOM and NPV continued to use inverse floating rate securities. We employ inverse floaters for a variety of reasons, including duration management, income enhancement and total return enhancement.

How did the Funds perform during the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2017?

The tables in each Fund’s Performance Overview and Holding Summaries section of this report provide the Funds’ total returns for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended May 31, 2017. Each Fund’s total returns at common share net asset value (NAV) are compared with the performance of corresponding market indexes.

For the reporting period ended May 31, 2017, the total return at common share NAV for NKG, NMS, NOM, NNC and NPV trailed the return for their respective state’s S&P Municipal Bond Index as well as the national S&P Municipal Bond Index, while NMY performed in line with the S&P Municipal Bond Maryland Index and the national S&P Municipal Bond Index.

The Funds’ performance was affected by duration and yield curve positioning, credit ratings allocations, sector allocations and credit selection. In addition, the use of regulatory leverage was a dominant factor affecting performance of the Funds. Leverage is discussed in more detail later in the Fund Leverage section of this report.

Duration and yield curve positioning was generally a positive contributor to relative performance for the Funds, except for NMS and NOM, where it had an overall neutral impact. Overweight allocations to the longest durations (14 years and longer) were especially advantageous for NMY, NNC, and NPV, as long bonds performed well in this reporting period. For NKG, exposure to the shortest dated maturities was the most beneficial to relative results.

From a credit ratings perspective, lower rated bonds tended to outperform high grade (AAA and AA rated) bonds in this reporting period. NKG and NNC were hurt by their overweight allocations to AA rated bonds and underweight allocations to below investment grade credits. Conversely, NMY, NMS, NOM and NPV were aided by overweight positions in medium and lower quality bonds. Non-rated bonds were also a stronger performing segment in this reporting period, a trend that was particularly beneficial to the Minnesota and Maryland Funds.

The better performing sectors in the municipal bond market over this reporting period included tobacco, health care, housing and Puerto Rico, while tax supported bonds (such as GOs) and the pre-refunded sector underperformed. The Georgia Fund was modestly helped by its underweight allocation to state GOs, but the negative impact from an underweight allocation to the health care sector more than offset those gains. NMY was favorably positioned from a sector standpoint, with advantageous overweights to tobacco, housing and hospital bonds and underweights to GOs and pre-refunded credits. With no exposure to either tobacco or Puerto Rico, the Minnesota Fund’s sector allocations detracted from performance. NOM also did not hold any tobacco settlement bonds, which dampened relative results, but its small weighting in Puerto Rico credits added value. NNC was hampered by an overweight to the underperforming pre-refunded sector, as well as exposure to toll road bonds. The Virginia Fund’s overweight to the tobacco sector and underweight to the tax supported sector each contributed positively to performance, as did the Fund’s housing sector holdings. However, NPV’s overweight exposure to the pre-refunded sector detracted somewhat from performance.

Individual credit selection was an important factor affecting the Funds’ performance in this reporting period. The timing of a bond’s purchase had a material impact on how the position performed. Generally speaking, bonds bought before the election performed poorly relative to those held for the entire reporting period or those bought later in the reporting period as the market rallied back in the first half of 2017. Another key performance driver was related to coupon and call structure. Higher coupon bonds, such as those paying 5% or more, outperformed lower coupons bonds, or those paying 4% and under, as lower coupon bonds were more sensitive to market volatility during the November sell-off. Given the occasional shortage of higher coupon bonds available in Minnesota at times, NMS was overweight in lower coupon bonds, and this was disadvantageous to performance during the reporting period. The prices of bonds with shorter call structures stayed relatively resilient during the post-election turmoil, which helped these types of bonds outperform. For example, NMY’s position in Baltimore Convention Center offered higher coupons and was currently callable during the market’s fourth quarter sell-off, which helped it perform well over the reporting period. The bond was called toward the end of the reporting period, further adding to its outperformance. Additionally, NKG’s holding in Baldwin County Oconee Regional Medical Center bonds was a meaningful detractor, as was NMY and NPV’s holdings in energy supplier First Energy. Representing a small weighting in the Maryland and Virginia Funds, the credit performed poorly as the company seeks to exit the power generation business, which has increased uncertainty about its financial health.

An Update Involving Puerto Rico

As noted in the Funds’ previous shareholder reports, we continue to monitor situations in the broader municipal market for any impact on the Funds’ holdings and performance: Puerto Rico’s ongoing debt restructuring is one such case. Puerto Rico began warning investors in 2014 that the island’s debt burden might prove to be unsustainable and the Commonwealth pursued various strategies to deal with this burden.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)

In June 2016, President Obama signed the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act (PROMESA) into law. The legislation established an independent Financial Oversight and management Board charged with restructuring Puerto Rico’s financial operations and encouraging economic development. In addition to creating an oversight board, PROMESA also provides a legal framework and court-supervised debt restructuring process that enables Puerto Rico to adjust its debt obligations. In March 2017, the oversight board certified a ten-year fiscal plan projecting revenues, expenditures and a primary fiscal surplus available for debt service over the plan horizon. The fiscal plan was considered quite detrimental to creditors, identifying available resources to pay only about 24% of debt service due over the ten year term. In May 2017, the oversight board initiated a bankruptcy-like process for the general government, general obligation debt, the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (COFINA), the Highways and Transportation Authority (HTA), and the Employee Retirement System. Officials have indicated more public corporations could follow. As of June 2017 (subsequent to the close of this reporting period), Puerto Rico has defaulted on many of its debt obligations, including General Obligation bonds.

In terms of Puerto Rico holdings, shareholders should note that NMY, NOM and NPV had exposure to Puerto Rico debt, 4.66%, 0.76% and 3.14%, respectively, at the end of the reporting period, consisting of mostly insured bonds. NKG, NMS, NNC did not hold any Puerto Rico bonds. The Puerto Rico credits offered higher yields, added diversification and triple exemption (i.e., exemption from most federal, state and local taxes). Puerto Rico general obligation debt is currently in default and rated Caa3/D/D by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, with negative outlooks.

A Note About Investment Valuations

The municipal securities held by the Funds are valued by the Funds’ pricing service using a range of market-based inputs and assumptions. A different municipal pricing service might incorporate different assumptions and inputs into its valuation methodology, potentially resulting in different values for the same securities. These differences could be significant, both as to such individual securities, and as to the value of a given Fund’s portfolio in its entirety. Thus, the current net asset value of a Fund’s shares may be impacted, higher or lower, if the Fund were to change its pricing service, or if its pricing service were to materially change its valuation methodology. On October 4, 2016, the Funds’ current municipal bond pricing service was acquired by the parent company of another pricing service. The two services have not yet combined their valuation organizations and process, but it was recently announced that combination is scheduled to take place on October 16, 2017 (subject to change). Such changes could have an impact on the net asset value of the Funds’ shares.

Fund Leverage

IMPACT OF THE FUNDS’ LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE

One important factor impacting the returns of the Funds relative to their comparative benchmarks was the Funds’ use of leverage through their issuance of preferred shares and/or investments in inverse floating rate securities, which represent leveraged investments in underlying bonds. The Funds use leverage because our research has shown that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for additional income, particularly in the recent market environment where short-term market rates are at or near historical lows, meaning that the short-term rates the Fund has been paying on its leveraging instruments have been much lower than the interest the Fund has been earning on its portfolio of long-term bonds that it has bought with the proceeds of that leverage. However, use of leverage can expose the Fund to additional price volatility. When a Fund uses leverage, the Fund will experience a greater increase in its net asset value if the municipal bonds acquired through the use of leverage increase in value, but it will also experience a correspondingly larger decline in its net asset value if the bonds acquired through leverage decline in value, which will make the Fund’s net asset value more volatile, and its total return performance more variable over time. In addition, income in levered funds will typically decrease in comparison to unlevered funds when short-term interest rates increase and increase when short-term interest rates decrease. Regulatory leverage had a positive impact on the performance of the Funds over the reporting period. The use of leverage through inverse floating rate securities had a negligible impact on the performance of the Funds over the reporting period.

As of May 31, 2017, the Funds’ percentages of leverage are as shown in the accompanying table.

 

      NKG     NMY     NMS     NOM     NNC     NPV  
Effective Leverage*     38.43 %   38.03 %   38.39 %   35.53 %   38.50 %   37.71 %
Regulatory Leverage*     36.03 %   36.52 %   38.39 %   35.53 %   38.50 %   33.00 %

 

* Effective Leverage is a Fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage and the leverage effects of certain derivative and other investments in a Fund’s portfolio that increase the Fund’s investment exposure. Currently, the leverage effects of Tender Option Bond (TOB) inverse floater holdings are included in effective leverage values, in addition to any regulatory leverage. Regulatory leverage consists of preferred shares issued or borrowings of a Fund. Both of these are part of a Fund’s capital structure. A Fund, however, 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 settle portfolio trades. Such incidental borrowings are excluded from the calculation of a Fund’s effective leverage ratio. Regulatory leverage is subject to asset coverage limits set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

* Distribution paid in December 2016.
   
** Market Yield is based on the Fund’s current annualized monthly dividend divided by the Fund’s current market price as of the end of the reporting period. 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. It is based on a combined federal and state income tax rate of 32.3%, 32.0%, 35.1%, 32.3%, 32.0% and 32.1% for Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina and Virginia, respectively. When comparing a Fund to investments that generate qualified dividend income, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield would be lower.

Each Fund in this report 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. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it will hold the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund’s net asset value. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid in dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute a negative UNII that will likewise be reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. Each Fund will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to shareholders.

As of May 31, 2017, the Funds had positive UNII balances for tax purposes. NMY, NMS, NOM and NPV had positive UNII balances while NKG and NNC had negative UNII balances for financial reporting purposes.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Nuveen Georgia Quality Municipal Income Fund
Nuveen Maryland Quality Municipal Income Fund
Nuveen Minnesota Quality Municipal Income Fund
Nuveen Missouri Quality Municipal Income Fund
Nuveen North Carolina Quality Municipal Income Fund
Nuveen Virginia Quality Municipal Income Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Nuveen Georgia Quality Municipal Income Fund, Nuveen Maryland Quality Municipal Income Fund, Nuveen Minnesota Quality Municipal Income Fund, Nuveen Missouri Quality Municipal Income Fund, Nuveen North Carolina Quality Municipal Income Fund, and Nuveen Virginia Quality Municipal Income Fund (the “Funds”) as of May 31, 2017, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the three-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the periods presented through May 31, 2014 (June 30, 2014 for Nuveen Minnesota Quality Municipal Income Fund) were audited by other auditors whose reports dated July 28, 2014 (August 22, 2014 for Nuveen Minnesota Quality Municipal Income Fund) expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of May 31, 2017, the results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the three-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets applicable to common shares unless otherwise noted.
(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) As of, or subsequent to, the end of the reporting period, this security is non-income producing. Non-income producing, in the case of a fixed-income security, generally denotes that the issuer has (1) defaulted on the payment of principal or interest, (2) is under the protection of the Federal Bankruptcy Court or (3) the Fund’s Adviser has concluded that the issue is not likely to meet its future interest payment obligations and has ceased accruing additional income on the Fund’s records.
(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. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities.
(6) Investment valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by, or at the discretion of, the Board. For fair value measurement disclosure purposes, investment categorized as Level 3. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 2 – Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements for more information.
(7) Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, net of deferred offering costs as a percentage of Total Investments is 36.0%.
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 3 – Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives, Inverse Floating Rate Securities for more information.

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets applicable to common shares unless otherwise noted.
(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.
(4) As of, or subsequent to, the end of the reporting period, this security is non-income producing. Non-income producing, in the case of a fixed-income security, generally denotes that the issuer has (1) defaulted on the payment of principal or interest, (2) is under the protection of the Federal Bankruptcy Court or (3) the Fund’s Adviser has concluded that the issue is not likely to meet its future interest payment obligations and has ceased accruing additional income on the Fund’s records.
(5) Investment, or portion of investment, has been pledged to collateralize the net payment obligations for investments in inverse floating rate transactions.
(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. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities.
(7) On November 28, 2011, AMR Corp. (“AMR”), the parent company of American Airlines Group, Inc. (“AAL”) filed for federal bankruptcy protection. On December 9, 2013, AMR emerged from federal bankruptcy with the acceptance of its reorganization plan by the bankruptcy court. Under the settlement agreement established to meet AMR’s unsecured bond obligations, the bondholders, including the Fund, received a distribution of AAL preferred stock which was converted to AAL common stock over a 120-day period. Every 30 days, a quarter of the preferred stock was converted to AAL common stock based on the 5-day volume-weighted average price and the amount of preferred shares tendered during the optional preferred conversion period.
(8) Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, net of deferred offering costs as a percentage of Total Investments is 36.1%.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 3 – Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives, Inverse Floating Rate Securities for more information.
(WI/DD) Investment, or portion of investment, purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.

See accompanying notes to financial statements.

(a) Total Return Based on Common Share NAV is the combination of changes in common share NAV, reinvested dividend income at NAV and reinvested capital gains distributions at NAV, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending NAV. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund’s market price (and not its NAV), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
   
  Total Return Based on Common Share Price is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

(a) Total Return Based on Common Share NAV is the combination of changes in common share NAV, reinvested dividend income at NAV and reinvested capital gains distributions at NAV, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending NAV. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund’s market price (and not its NAV), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
   
  Total Return Based on Common Share Price is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

The end of the reporting period for the Funds is May 31, 2017, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017 (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 and Principal Investment Strategies
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and designated state income taxes by investing primarily in a portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within a single state or certain U.S. territories.

Effective August 5, 2016, NKG, NMY, NOM, NNC and NPV have added an investment policy to limit the amount of securities subject to the alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) to no more than 20% of the Fund’s managed assets (as defined in Note 7 – Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates).

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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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:

 

      NMY     NMS     NOM     NNC  
Outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments   $ 10,180,461   $ 258,308   $ 380,756   $ 7,800,819

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Investment Income
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Investment income also reflects paydown gains and losses, if any.

Professional Fees
Professional fees presented on the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in an attempt to protect or enhance an investment or to pursue other claims or legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders. 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 Statements of Operations.

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

Distributions to common 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.

Compensation
The Funds pay 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 Funds 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 Funds’ organizational documents, their officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect 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 Derivative Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows each Fund to offset 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 applicable to common shares from operations during the current fiscal period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

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, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
  Level 3 –  Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

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.

Common stocks and other equity-type securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded and are generally classified as Level 1. Securities primarily traded on the NASDAQ National Market (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price and are generally classified as Level 1. However, securities traded on a securities exchange or NASDAQ for which there were no transactions on a given day or securities not listed on a securities exchange or NASDAQ are valued at the quoted bid price and are generally classified as Level 2.

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 net asset value (“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:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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

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

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

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

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

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 of the Funds. The income received by the Inverse Floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to holders of the Floaters, and in most circumstances the Inverse Floater holder bears substantially all of the Underlying Bond’s downside investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the Underlying Bond’s value. The value of an Inverse Floater will be more volatile than that of the Underlying Bond because the interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the Underlying Bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the Floaters, and because the Inverse Floater essentially bears the risk of loss (and possible gain) of the greater face value of the Underlying Bond.

The Inverse Floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right to (a) cause the holders of the Floaters to tender their certificates at par (or slightly more than par in certain circumstances), and (b) have the trustee of the TOB Trust (the “Trustee”) transfer the Underlying Bond held by the TOB Trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the TOB Trust.

The Fund may acquire an Inverse Floater in a transaction where it (a) transfers an Underlying Bond that it owns to a TOB Trust created by a third party or (b) transfers an Underlying Bond that it owns, or that it has purchased in a secondary market transaction for the purpose of creating an Inverse Floater, to a TOB Trust created at its direction, and in return receives the Inverse Floater of the TOB Trust (referred to as a “self-deposited Inverse Floater”). A Fund may also purchase an Inverse Floater in a secondary market transaction from a third party creator of the TOB Trust without first owning the Underlying Bond (referred to as an “externally-deposited Inverse Floater”).

An investment in a self-deposited Inverse Floater is accounted for as a “financing” transaction (i.e., a secured borrowing). For a self-deposited Inverse Floater, the Underlying Bond deposited into the TOB Trust is identified in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments as “(UB) – Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction,” with the Fund recognizing as liabilities, labeled “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, (a) the liquidation value of Floaters issued by the TOB Trust, and (b) the amount of any borrowings by the TOB Trust from a Liquidity Provider to enable the TOB Trust to purchase outstanding Floaters in lieu of a remarketing. In addition, the Fund recognizes in “Investment

 

94
NUVEEN


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 and amortization of offering costs” 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 borrowings from a Liquidity Provider, as a liability. Additionally, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” only the net amount of earnings on the Inverse Floater (net of the interest paid to the holders of the Floaters or the Liquidity Provider as lender, and the expenses of the Trust), and does not show the amount of that interest paid or the expenses of the TOB Trust as described above as interest expense on the Statement of Operations.

Fees paid upon the creation of a TOB Trust for self-deposited Inverse Floaters and externally-deposited Inverse Floaters are recognized as part of the cost basis of the Inverse Floater and are capitalized over the term of the TOB Trust.

As of the end of the reporting period, the aggregate value of Floaters issued by each Fund’s TOB Trust for self-deposited Inverse Floaters and externally-deposited Inverse Floaters was as follows:

 

Floating Rate Obligations Outstanding     NKG     NMY     NMS     NOM     NNC     NPV  
Floating rate obligations: self-deposited Inverse Floaters   $ 3,245,000   $ 13,110,000   $   $   $   $ 16,000,000  
Floating rate obligations: externally-deposited Inverse Floaters     5,635,000                     13,330,000  
Total   $ 8,880,000   $ 13,110,000   $   $   $   $ 29,330,000  

During the current fiscal period, the average amount of Floaters (including any borrowings from a Liquidity Provider) outstanding, and average annual interest rate and fees related to self-deposited Inverse Floaters, were as follows:

 

Self-Deposited Inverse Floaters     NKG     NMY     NMS     NOM     NNC     NPV  
Average floating rate obligations outstanding   $ 3,245,000   $ 14,326,781   $   $ 938,767   $   $ 11,062,329  
Average annual interest rate and fees     1.27 %   1.24 %   %   1.08 %   %   1.00 %

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 is not sufficient to pay the purchase price of the Floaters.

The size of the commitment under the loan facility for a given TOB Trust is at least equal to the balance of that TOB Trust’s outstanding Floaters plus any accrued interest. In consideration of the loan facility, fee schedules are in place and are charged by the Liquidity Provider(s). Any loans made by the Liquidity Provider will be secured by the purchased Floaters held by the TOB Trust. Interest paid on any outstanding loan balances will be effectively borne by the Fund that owns the Inverse Floaters of the TOB Trust that has incurred the borrowing and may be at a rate that is greater than the rate that would have been paid had the Floaters been successfully remarketed.

As described above, any amounts outstanding under a liquidity facility are recognized as a component of “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by the Fund holding the corresponding Inverse Floaters issued by the borrowing TOB Trust. As of the end of the reporting period, there were no loans outstanding under any such facility.

Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a “recourse arrangement”) (TOB Trusts involving such agreements are referred to herein as “Recourse Trusts”), under which a Fund agrees to reimburse the Liquidity Provider for the Trust’s Floaters, in certain circumstances, for the amount (if any) by which the liquidation value of the Underlying Bond held by the TOB Trust may fall short of the sum of the liquidation value of the Floaters issued by the TOB Trust plus any amounts borrowed by the TOB Trust from the Liquidity Provider, plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a Fund’s potential exposure to losses related to or on an Inverse Floater may increase beyond the value of 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     NKG     NMY     NMS     NOM     NNC     NPV  
Maximum exposure to Recourse Trusts: self-deposted Inverse Floaters   $   $ 10,745,000   $   $   $   $ 6,750,000  
Maximum exposure to Recourse Trusts: externally-deposited Inverse Floaters                         13,330,000  
Total   $   $ 10,745,000   $   $   $   $ 20,080,000

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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 investments such as futures, options and swap contracts. Each Fund limits its investments in futures, options on futures and swap contracts to the extent necessary for the Adviser to claim exclusion from registration by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a commodity pool operator with respect to the Fund. 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.

4. Fund Shares

Common Shares

Common Shares Equity Shelf Programs and Offering Costs
NMS has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) authorizing the Fund to issue additional common shares through one or more equity shelf programs (“Shelf Offering”), which became effective with the SEC during the current fiscal period.

Under this Shelf Offering, the Fund, subject to market conditions, may raise additional equity capital by issuing additional common shares from time to time in varying amounts and by different offering methods at a net price at or above the Fund’s NAV per common share. In the event the Fund’s Shelf Offering registration statement is no longer current, the Fund may not issue additional common shares until a post-effective amendment to the registration statement has been filed with the SEC.

Additional authorized common shares, common shares sold and offering proceeds, net of offering costs under the Fund’s Shelf Offering during the Fund’s current and prior fiscal period were as follows:

 

      NMS  
      Year  
      Ended  
      5/31/17 *
Additional authorized common shares     500,000  
Common shares sold     41,720  
Offering proceeds, net of offering costs   $ 675,818  

 

* Represents additional authorized shares for the period April 25, 2017 through May 31, 2017.

Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with its Shelf Offering were recorded as a deferred charge and recognized as a component of “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The deferred asset is reduced during the one-year period that additional shares are sold by reducing the proceeds from such sales and recognized as a component of “Proceeds from shelf offering, net of offering costs” on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. Any remaining deferred charges at the end of the one-year life of the Shelf Offering period will be expensed accordingly, as well as any additional Shelf Offering costs the Fund may incur. As Shelf Offering costs are expensed they are recognized as a component of “Other expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

and at the redemption price per share thereafter. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation preference per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends. Each Fund may be obligated to redeem a certain amount of the VMTP Shares if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage and leverage ratio requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The Term Redemption Date and Premium Expiration Date for each Fund’s VMTP Shares are as follows:

 

          Term   Premium  
Fund   Series   Redemption Date   Expiration Date  
NKG     2019     September 1, 2019     August 31, 2017  
NMY     2019     August 1, 2019     June 30, 2017

NNC     2019     August 1, 2019     June 30, 2017  

The average liquidation preference of VMTP Shares outstanding and annualized dividend rate for each Fund during the current fiscal period were as follows:

 

      NKG     NMY     NMS     NOM     NNC  
Average liquidation preference of VMTP Shares outstanding   $ 80,235,616   $ 194,534,247   $ 52,084,932   $ 18,000,000   $ 151,616,438  
Annualized dividend rate     1.57 %   1.59 %   1.59 %   1.54 %   1.59 %

VMTP Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer, generally do not trade, and market quotations are generally not available. VMTP Shares are short-term or short/intermediate-term instruments that pay a variable dividend rate tied to a short-term index, plus an additional fixed “spread” amount established at the time of issuance. The fair value of VMTP Shares is expected to be approximately their liquidation preference so long as the fixed “spread” on the VMTP Shares remains roughly in line with the “spread” being demanded by investors on instruments having similar terms in the current market environment. In present market conditions, the Fund’s Adviser has determined that the fair value of VMTP Shares is approximately their liquidation preference, but their fair value could vary if market conditions change materially. For financial reporting purposes, the liquidation preference of VMTP Shares is a liability and is recognized as a component of “Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred (“VMTP”) Shares, net deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Dividends on the VMTP Shares (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) are set weekly. Unpaid dividends on VMTP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends accrued on VMTP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.

Costs incurred in connection with each Fund’s offering of VMTP Shares were recorded as a deferred charges, which are amortized over the life of the shares and are recognized as components of “Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred (“VMTP”) Shares, net of deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.

NKG, NMY, NMS and NNC incurred offering costs of $135,000, $200,000, $145,000 and $185,000, respectively, in connection with their issuance of Series 2019 VMTP Shares, which were expensed as incurred and are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.

Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares
The following Fund has issued and has outstanding Variable Rate Demand Preferred (“VRDP”) Shares, with a $100,000 liquidation preference per share. VRDP Shares are issued via private placement and are not publicly available.

As of the end of the reporting period, details of the Fund’s VRDP Shares outstanding were as follows:

 

          Shares   Liquidation      
Fund   Series   Outstanding   Preference   Maturity  
NPV     1     1,280   $ 128,000,000     August 3, 2043  
                           

VRDP Shares include a liquidity feature that allows VRDP shareholders to have their shares purchased by a liquidity provider with whom the Fund has contracted in the event that the VRDP Shares are not able to be successfully remarketed. The Fund is required to redeem any VRDP Shares that are still owned by the liquidity provider after six months of continuous, unsuccessful remarketing. The Fund pays an annual remarketing fee of 0.10% on the aggregate principal amount of all VRDP Shares outstanding. The Fund’s VRDP Shares have successfully remarketed since issuance.

During the current fiscal period, NVG designated a special rate period until January 24, 2018 for the Fund’s Series 1 VRDP Shares, which are sold to institutional investors. During the special rate period, the VRDP Shares will not be remarketed by a remarketing agent, be subject to optional or mandatory tender events, or be supported by a liquidity provider. During the period, VRDP dividends will be set monthly as a floating rate based on the predetermined formula. Following the initial special rate period, Special Rate Period VRDP Shares will transition to traditional VRDP Shares with dividends set at weekly remarketings, and be supported by a designated liquidity provider, unless the Board approves a subsequent special rate period.

NUVEEN


Dividends on the VRDP Shares (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) are set at a rate established by a remarketing agent; therefore, the market value of the VRDP Shares is expected to approximate its liquidation preference. In the event that VRDP Shares are unable to be successfully remarketed, the dividend rate will be the maximum rate which is designed to escalate according to a specified schedule in order to enhance the remarketing agent’s ability to successfully remarket the VRDP Shares.

Subject to certain conditions, VRDP Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the Fund. The Fund may also redeem certain of the VRDP Shares if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation preference per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends.

The average liquidation preference of VRDP Shares outstanding and annualized dividend rate for the Fund during the current fiscal period were as follows:

 

      NPV  
Average liquidation preference of VRDP Shares outstanding   $ 128,000,000  
Annualized dividend rate     0.98 %

For financial reporting purposes, the liquidation preference of VRDP Shares is a liability and is recognized as “Variable Rate Demand Preferred (“VRDP”) Shares, net of deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Unpaid dividends on VRDP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable. Dividends accrued on VRDP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with its offerings of VRDP Shares were recorded as a deferred charge, which are amortized over the life of the shares and are recognized as a component of “Variable Rate Demand Preferred (“VRDP”) Shares, net of deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. In addition to interest expense, the Fund also pays a per annum liquidity fee to the liquidity provider, as well as a remarketing fee, which are recognized as “Liquidity fees” and “Remarketing fees,” respectively, on the Statement of Operations.

      NKG     NMY     NMS     NOM     NNC     NPV  
Purchases   $ 39,920,800   $ 266,618,687   $ 33,703,080   $ 6,975,068   $ 68,498,981   $ 177,812,473

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.

As of May 31, 2017, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

 

      NKG     NMY     NMS     NOM     NNC     NPV  
Cost of investments   $ 214,060,217   $ 507,474,440   $ 129,654,994   $ 47,236,335   $ 360,653,981   $ 361,025,931

Permanent differences, primarily due to federal taxes paid, nondeductible offering costs, distribution reallocations and expiration of capital loss carryforwards resulted in reclassifications among the Funds’ components of common share net assets as of May 31, 2017, the Funds’ tax year end, as follows:

      NKG     NMY     NMS     NOM     NNC     NPV  
Paid-in-surplus   $ (1,837,398 ) $ (431,490 ) $ (712,855 ) $ (117,402 ) $ (260,416 ) $ (213,120 )

Accumulated net realized gain (loss)     1,646,615     233,375     452,569     77,901     1,554     226,941  

The tax components of undistributed net tax-exempt income, net ordinary income and net long-term capital gains as of May 31, 2017, the Funds’ tax year end, were as follows:

 

      NKG     NMY     NMS     NOM     NNC     NPV  
Undistributed net tax-exempt income1   $ 493,733   $ 1,429,279   $ 392,427   $ 137,271   $ 522,295   $ 618,005  
Undistributed net ordinary income2     522     168,930     45,261     1,291     594     110,611  
Undistributed net long-term capital gains                     17,627      

 

1 Undistributed net tax-exempt income (on a tax basis) has not been reduced for the dividend declared on May 1, 2017, paid on June 1, 2017.
2 Net ordinary income consists of taxable market discount income and net short-term capital gains, if any.

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees
Each Fund’s management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.

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 Fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.

The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated by multiplying the current complex-wide fee rated, determined according to the following schedule by the Fund’s daily managed assets:

 

Complex-Level Managed Asset Breakpoint Level* Effective Rate at Breakpoint Level
$55 billion 0.2000 %
$56 billion 0.1996  
$57 billion 0.1989

$125 billion 0.1599  
$200 billion 0.1505  
$250 billion 0.1469  
$300 billion 0.1445  

 

* For the complex-level fees, managed assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to certain types of leverage. For these purposes, leverage includes the 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 managed assets in certain circumstances. The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed assets of all Nuveen Funds that constitute “eligible assets.” 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. As of May 31, 2017, the complex-level fee for each Fund was 0.1606%.

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 of 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.

During the current fiscal period, the following Funds engaged in inter-fund trades pursuant to these procedures as follows:

8. Borrowing Arrangements

Uncommitted Line of Credit
During the current fiscal period, the Funds participated in an unsecured bank line of credit (“Unsecured Credit Line”) under which outstanding balances would bear interest at a variable rate. On December 31, 2016, (the only date utilized during the current fiscal period), the Funds borrowed the following amounts from the Unsecured Credit Line, each at an annualized interest rate of 2.02% on their respective outstanding balance.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Committed Line of Credit

The Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Adviser (“Participating Funds”), have established a 364-day, approximately $3 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. A large portion of this facility’s capacity (and its associated costs as described below) is currently dedicated for use by a small number of Participating Funds, which does not include any of the Funds covered by this shareholder report. The remaining capacity under the facility (and the corresponding portion of the facility’s annual costs) is separately dedicated to most of the other open-end funds in the Nuveen fund family, along with a number of Nuveen closed-end funds, including all of the Funds covered by this shareholder report. The credit facility expires in July 2018 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 1.25% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.25% per annum on amounts borrowed. Participating Funds paid administration, legal and arrangement fees, which are recognized as a component of “Other expenses” on the Statement of Operations, and along with commitment fees, have been allocated among such Participating Funds based upon the relative proportions of the facility’s aggregate capacity reserved for them and other factors deemed relevant by the Adviser and the Board of each Participating Fund.

During the current fiscal period, none of the Funds utilized this facility.

The SEC has granted an exemptive order permitting registered open-end and closed-end Nuveen funds to participate in an inter-fund lending facility whereby the Nuveen funds may directly lend to and borrow money from each other for temporary purposes (e.g., to satisfy redemption requests or when a sale of securities “fails,” resulting in an unanticipated cash shortfall) (the “Inter-Fund Program”). The closed-end Nuveen funds, including the Funds covered by this shareholder report, will participate only as lenders, and not as borrowers, in the Inter-Fund Program because such closed-end funds rarely, if ever, need to borrow cash to meet redemptions. The Inter-Fund Program is subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things, the requirements that (1) no fund may borrow or lend money through the Inter-Fund Program unless it receives a more favorable interest rate than is typically available from a bank or other financial institution for a comparable transaction; (2) no fund may borrow on an unsecured basis through the Inter-Fund Program unless the fund’s outstanding borrowings from all sources immediately after the inter-fund borrowing total 10% or less of its total assets; provided that if the borrowing fund has a secured borrowing outstanding from any other lender, including but not limited to another fund, the inter-fund loan must be secured on at least an equal priority basis with at least an equivalent percentage of collateral to loan value; (3) if a fund’s total outstanding borrowings immediately after an inter-fund borrowing would be greater than 10% of its total assets, the fund may borrow through the inter-fund loan on a secured basis only; (4) no fund may lend money if the loan would cause its aggregate outstanding loans through the Inter-Fund Program to exceed 15% of its net assets at the time of the loan; (5) a fund’s inter-fund loans to any one fund shall not exceed 5% of the lending fund’s net assets; (6) the duration of inter-fund loans will be limited to the time required to receive payment for securities sold, but in no event more than seven days; and (7) each inter-fund loan may be called on one business day’s notice by a lending fund and may be repaid on any day by a borrowing fund. In addition, a Nuveen fund may participate in the Inter-Fund Program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. The Board is responsible for overseeing the Inter-Fund Program. 

The limitations detailed above and the other conditions of the SEC exemptive order permitting the Inter-Fund Program are designed to minimize the risks associated with Inter-Fund Program for both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. However, no borrowing or lending activity is without risk. When a fund borrows money from another fund, there is a risk that the loan could be called on one day’s notice or not renewed, in which case the fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher rate or take other actions to payoff such loan if an inter-fund loan is not available from another fund. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.

During May 2017, the Board approved the Nuveen funds participation in the Inter-Fund Program. During the current reporting period, none of the Funds covered by this shareholder report have entered into any inter-fund loan activity.

9. New Accounting Pronouncements

Amendments to Regulation S-X
In October 2016, the SEC adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together, the “final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date of the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management is still evaluating the impact of the final rules, if any.

Accounting Standards Update 2017-08 (“ASU 2017-08”) Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities

During March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-08, which shortens the premium amortization period for purchased non-contingently callable debt securities. ASU 2017-08 specifies that the premium amortization period ends at the earliest call date, for purchased non-contingently callable debt securities. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU 2017-08, if any.

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report (Unaudited)

 

Auction Rate Bond: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond. Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for sale are deemed to have “failed,” with current holders receiving a formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction.
   
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 market 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’s or fund’s duration, the more the price of the bond or fund will change as interest rates change.
   
Effective Leverage: Effective leverage is a fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage (see leverage) and the leverage effects of certain derivative investments in the fund’s portfolio. Currently, the leverage effects of Tender Option Bond (TOB) inverse floater holdings are included in effective leverage values, in addition to any regulatory leverage.
   
Escrowed to Maturity Bond: When proceeds of a refunding issue are deposited in an escrow account for investment in an amount sufficient to pay the principal and interest on the issue being refunded. In some cases, though, an issuer may expressly reserve its right to exercise an early call of bonds that have been escrowed to maturity.
   
Gross Domestic Product (GDP): The total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country/region in a given year, equal to total consumer, investment and government spending, plus the value of exports, minus the value of imports.
   
Inverse Floating Rate Securities: Inverse floating rate securities, also known as inverse floaters or tender option bonds (TOBs), are created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust. 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.
   
Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: A fund’s Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash, accrued earnings and receivables) less its total liabilities. NAV per share is equal to the fund’s Net Assets divided by its number of shares outstanding.
   
Pre-Refunding: Pre-Refunding, also known as advanced refundings or refinancings, is a procedure used by state and local governments to refinance municipal bonds to lower interest expenses. The issuer sells new bonds with a lower yield and uses the proceeds to buy U.S. Treasury securities, the interest from which is used to make payments on the higher-yielding bonds. Because of this collateral, pre-refunding generally raises a bond’s credit rating and thus its value.

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report (Unaudited) (continued)

 

Regulatory Leverage: Regulatory Leverage consists of preferred shares issued by or borrowings of a fund. Both of these are part of a fund’s capital structure. Regulatory leverage is subject to asset coverage limits set in the Investment Company Act of 1940.
   
S&P Municipal Bond Georgia Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Georgia municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
   
S&P Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade U.S. municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
   
S&P Municipal Bond Maryland Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Maryland municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
   
S&P Municipal Bond Minnesota Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Minnesota municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
   
S&P Municipal Bond Missouri Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Missouri municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
   
S&P Municipal Bond North Carolina Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade North Carolina municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
   
S&P Municipal Bond Virginia Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Virginia 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.

Reinvest Automatically, Easily and Conveniently

Nuveen makes reinvesting easy. A phone call is all it takes to set up your reinvestment account.

         


Nuveen Closed-End Funds Automatic Reinvestment Plan

Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares. By choosing to reinvest, you’ll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of compounding. Just like distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on distributions that are reinvested. It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.

Easy and convenient

To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you’ll receive a statement showing your total distributions, the date of investment, the shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.

How shares are purchased

The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net
asset value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund’s shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares’ net asset value or 95% of the shares’ market value on the last business day immediately prior to the purchase date. Distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the distribution payment date. No interest will be paid on distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.

Flexible

You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change. You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time.

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited)

The Board of Trustees (each, a “Board,” and each Trustee, a “Board Member”) of each Fund, including the Board Members who are not parties to the applicable advisory or sub-advisory agreements or “interested persons” of any such parties (the “Independent Board Members”), oversees the management of its respective Fund, including the performance of Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”), and Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, the Funds’ sub-adviser (the “Sub-Adviser”). As required by applicable law, after the initial term of the respective Fund following commencement of its operations, the Board is required to consider annually whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement with the Adviser (the “Investment Management Agreement”) and its sub-advisory agreement with the Sub-Adviser (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Investment Management Agreement, the “Advisory Agreements”). Accordingly, the Board met in person on April 11-12, 2017 (the “April Meeting”) and May 23-25, 2017 (the “May Meeting”) to consider the approval of each Advisory Agreement that was up for renewal for an additional one-year period.

The Board considered its review of the Advisory Agreements as an ongoing process encompassing the information received and the deliberations the Board and its committees have had throughout the year. The Board met regularly during the year and received materials and discussed topics that were relevant to the annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, including, among other things, overall market performance and developments; fund investment performance; investment team review; valuation of securities; compliance, regulatory and risk management matters; and other developments. The Board had also established several standing committees, including the Open-end Fund Committee and Closed-end Fund Committee, which met regularly throughout the year to permit the Board Members to delve deeper into the topics particularly relevant to the respective product line. The Board further continued its practice of seeking to meet periodically with the Sub-Adviser and its investment team. The accumulated information, knowledge, and experience the Board Members had gained during their tenure on the Board governing the Funds and working with the Fund Advisers (as defined below) were taken into account in their review of the Advisory Agreements.

In addition to the materials received by the Board or its committees throughout the year, the Board reviewed extensive additional materials prepared specifically for its annual review of the Advisory Agreements in response to a request by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Board Members. The materials addressed a variety of topics, including, but not limited to, a description of the services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser (the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are each a “Fund Adviser”); an analysis of fund performance including comparative industry data and a detailed focus on any performance outliers; an analysis of the Sub-Adviser; an analysis of the fees and expense ratios of the Nuveen funds in absolute terms and in comparison to the fees and expenses of peers with a focus on any expense outliers; an assessment of shareholder services for the Nuveen funds and of the performance of certain service providers; a review of initiatives instituted or continued during the past year; a review of premium/discount trends and leverage management for the closed-end funds as well as information regarding the profitability of the Fund Advisers, the compensation of portfolio managers, and compliance and risk matters. The materials provided in connection with the annual review included information compiled and prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge” or “Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, comparing, in relevant part, each Fund’s fees and expenses with those of a comparable universe of funds (the “Peer Universe”), as selected by Broadridge (the “Broadridge Report”). The Independent Board Members also received a memorandum from independent legal counsel outlining their fiduciary duties and legal standards in reviewing the Advisory Agreements.

As part of its annual review, the Board met at the April Meeting to review the investment performance of the Funds and to consider the Adviser’s analysis of the Sub-Adviser evaluating, among other things, the Sub-Adviser’s assets under management, investment team, performance, organizational stability, and investment approach. During the review, the Independent Board

 

110
NUVEEN


Members requested and received additional information from management. At the May Meeting, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, continued its review and ultimately approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for an additional year. Throughout the year and throughout their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members were assisted by independent legal counsel and met with counsel separately without management present. In deciding to renew the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members did not identify a particular factor as determinative, but rather the decision reflected the comprehensive consideration of all the information presented, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various factors and information considered in connection with the approval process. The following summarizes the principal factors, but not all the factors, the Board considered in its review of 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 and the resulting performance of each Fund. The Board recognized the myriad of services the Adviser and its affiliates provided to manage and operate the Nuveen funds, including (a) product management (such as managing distributions, positioning the product in the marketplace, maintaining and enhancing shareholder communications and reporting to the Board); (b) investment oversight, risk management and securities valuation (such as overseeing the sub-advisers and other service providers, analyzing investment performance and risks, overseeing risk management and disclosure, executing the daily valuation of securities, and analyzing trade execution); (c) fund administration (such as helping to prepare fund tax returns and complete other tax compliance matters and helping to prepare regulatory filings and shareholder reports); (d) fund board administration (such as preparing board materials and organizing and providing assistance for board meetings); (e) compliance (such as helping to devise and maintain the Nuveen funds’ compliance program and test for adherence); (f) legal support (such as helping to prepare registration statements and proxy statements, interpreting regulations and policies and overseeing fund activities); (g) with respect to certain closed-end funds, providing leverage, capital and distribution management services; and (h) with respect to certain open-end funds with portfolios that have a leverage component, providing such leverage management services.

The Board further noted the Adviser’s continued dedication to investing in its business to enhance the quality and breadth of the services provided to the Funds. The Board recognized the Adviser’s investment in staffing over recent years to support the services provided to the Nuveen funds in key areas, including in investment services, product management, retail distribution and information technology, closed-end funds and structured products, as well as in fund administration, operations and risk management. The Board further noted the Adviser’s continued commitment to enhancing its compliance program by, among other things, restructuring the compliance organization, developing a unified compliance program, adding compliance staff, and developing and/or revising policies and procedures as well as building further infrastructure to address new regulatory requirements or guidance and the growth of the complex. The Board also considered the enhancements to Nuveen’s cybersecurity capabilities, systems and processes to value securities, stress test reporting and risk and control self-assessments.

In addition, the Independent Board Members considered information highlighting the various initiatives that the Adviser had implemented or continued over recent years to benefit the open-end fund and closed-end fund product lines and/or particular Nuveen funds. The Board noted the Adviser’s continued efforts to rationalize the open-end fund and closed-end fund product lines through, among other things, mergers, liquidations and repositionings in seeking to provide enhanced shareholder value over the years through increased efficiency, reduced costs, improved performance and revised investment approaches that are more relevant to current shareholder needs. With respect to closed-end Nuveen funds, such initiatives included (a) an increased level of leverage management activities in 2016 and 2017 resulting from the rollover of existing facilities, the negotiation of improved terms and pricing to reduce leverage costs, the innovation of new leverage structures, the rebalancing of leverage of various funds as a result of mergers or new investment mandates, and the restructuring of tender option bonds to be compliant

 

NUVEEN
111


Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)

with new regulatory requirements; (b) an increased level of capital management activities (i.e., the management of the issuance and repurchase of shares of certain closed-end funds) during 2016 as a result of market demand as well as an implementation of a cross department review system for shares trading at certain discount levels; (c) continued refinements to a database to permit further analysis of the closed-end fund marketplace and shareholder base; (d) the development of enhanced secondary market board reporting and commentary; (e) the reconfiguration of the framework for determining and maintaining closed-end fund benchmarks to permit more consistency across the complex; and (f) the development of product innovations for new closed-end offerings, including target term funds. The Board also recognized the Adviser’s continued commitment to supporting the closed-end product line through its award winning investor relations support program through which Nuveen seeks to educate investors and financial advisers regarding closed-end funds.

With respect to municipal funds, the Independent Board Members also appreciated, in particular, the astute portfolio management of the municipal funds with respect to the Puerto Rico debt crisis.

In its review, the Board recognized that initiatives that attracted assets to the Nuveen family of funds generally benefited the Nuveen funds in the complex as fixed costs would be spread over a larger asset base and, as described below, through the complex-wide fee arrangement which generally provides that the management fees of the Nuveen funds (subject to limited exceptions) are reduced as asset levels in the complex reach certain breakpoints in the fee schedule.

Similarly, the Board considered the sub-advisory services provided by the Sub-Adviser to the Funds. The Sub-Adviser generally provided portfolio advisory services for the Funds. The Board reviewed the Adviser’s analysis of the Sub-Adviser which evaluated, among other things, the investment team and any changes thereto, the stability and history of the organization, the assets under management, the investment approach and the performance of the Nuveen funds it sub-advises. 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

As part of its evaluation of the services provided by the Fund Advisers, the Board reviewed Fund performance over the quarter, one-, three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2016 as well as performance data for the first quarter of 2017 ending March 31, 2017. The Board reviewed performance on an absolute basis and in comparison to the performance of peer funds (the “Performance Peer Group”) and recognized and/or customized benchmarks (i.e., generally benchmarks derived from multiple recognized benchmarks). For closed-end funds, the Board (or the Closed-end Fund Committee) also reviewed, among other things, the premium or discount to net asset value of the Nuveen closed-end funds as of a specified date and over various periods as well as in comparison to the premium/discount average in their respective Lipper peer category. The Independent Board Members continued to recognize the importance of secondary market trading for the shares of the closed-end funds and the evaluation of the premium and discount levels was a continuing priority for them. The review and analysis of performance information during the annual review of Advisory Agreements incorporated the discussions and performance information the Board Members have had at each of their quarterly meetings throughout the year.

In evaluating performance data, the Independent Board Members recognized some of the limitations of such data and the difficulty in establishing appropriate peer groups and benchmarks for certain of the Nuveen funds. They recognized that each fund operates pursuant to its own investment objective(s), parameters and restrictions which may differ from that of the Performance Peer Group or benchmark. Certain funds may also utilize leverage which may provide benefits or risks to their portfolio compared to an unlevered benchmark. The Independent Board Members had noted that management had classified the Performance Peer Groups as low, medium and high in relevancy to the applicable fund as a result of these differences or other factors. The Independent Board Members recognized that the variations between the Performance Peer Group or benchmark

 

112
NUVEEN


and the applicable Fund will lead to differing performance results and may limit the value of the comparative performance data in assessing the particular Fund’s performance.

In addition, the Independent Board Members recognized that the performance data is a snapshot in time, in this case as of the end of the 2016 calendar year or end of the first quarter of 2017. A different period may generate significantly different results and longer term performance can be adversely affected by even one period of significant underperformance. Further, a shareholder’s experience in a Fund depends on his or her own holding period which may differ from that reviewed by the Independent Board Members.

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 and the factors contributing to the respective fund’s performance and any efforts to address performance concerns. With respect to any Nuveen funds for which the Board has identified performance issues, the Board monitors such funds closely until performance improves, discusses with the Adviser the reasons for such results, considers any steps necessary or appropriate to address such issues, and reviews the results of any efforts undertaken. The Board, however, acknowledged that shareholders chose to invest or remain invested in a fund knowing that the Adviser and applicable sub-adviser manage the fund, knowing the fund’s investment strategy and seeking exposure to that strategy (even if the strategy was “out of favor” in the marketplace) and knowing the fund’s fee structure.

In reviewing the performance of the Nuveen municipal funds, the Board recognized the challenged and volatile conditions of the municipal market in the fourth quarter of 2016 which impacted the performance of many of the municipal funds. The Board further considered that the municipal market had generally rebounded in the first quarter of 2017. In reviewing the performance of the municipal funds, the Board considered the impact of the market conditions.

For Nuveen Georgia Quality Municipal Income Fund (the “Georgia Fund”), although the Fund ranked in its Performance Peer Group in the fourth quartile for the three- and five-year periods, the Fund ranked in the third quartile in the one-year period. Although the Fund underperformed its benchmark in the one-year period, the Fund outperformed its benchmark in the three-and five-year periods. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.

For Nuveen Maryland Quality Municipal Income Fund (the “Maryland Fund”), the Board noted that the Fund ranked in its Performance Peer Group in the fourth quartile in the one-, three- and five-year periods. Although the Fund underperformed its benchmark in the one-year period, the Fund outperformed its benchmark in the three- and five-year periods. In reviewing the Fund’s performance, the Board considered that the top performers in the Performance Peer Group for the one- and three- year periods had benefited from generally higher allocations to lower credit quality. Although the Fund typically had been overweight lower credit quality relative to its benchmark, the Fund was generally underweight lower credit quality relative to top performers in the Performance Peer Group. The Board was satisfied with the Adviser’s explanation of the Fund’s performance.

For Nuveen Minnesota Quality Municipal Income Fund (the “Minnesota Fund”), the Board noted that the Fund ranked in the fourth quartile in its Performance Peer Group in the one- and three-year periods and third quartile in the five-year period. Although the Fund underperformed its benchmark in the one-year period, the Fund outperformed its benchmark in the three-and five-year periods. In reviewing the Fund’s performance, the Board considered that the top performers in the Performance Peer Group for the one- and three-year periods had benefited from generally higher allocations to lower credit quality. Although the Fund typically had been overweight lower credit quality relative to its benchmark, the Fund was generally underweight lower credit quality relative to top performers in the Performance Peer Group. The Board was satisfied with the Adviser’s explanation of the Fund’s performance.

For Nuveen Missouri Quality Municipal Income Fund (the “Missouri Fund”), the Board noted that the Fund ranked in the first quartile in the one-year period and third quartile in the three- and five-year periods. The Fund also outperformed its benchmark in the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.

For Nuveen North Carolina Quality Municipal Income Fund (the “North Carolina Fund”), the Board noted that, although the Fund ranked in its Performance Peer Group in the fourth quartile in the one- and five-year periods, the Fund ranked in the third quartile in the three-year period. In addition, although the Fund underperformed its benchmark in the one-year period, the Fund outperformed its benchmark in the three- and five-year periods. The Fund also ranked in the third quartile of its Performance Peer Group and outperformed its benchmark for the first quarter of 2017. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.

For Nuveen Virginia Quality Municipal Income Fund (“Virginia Fund”), the Board noted that although the Fund ranked in its Performance Peer Group in the fourth quartile in the one- and five-year periods, the Fund ranked in the third quartile in the three-year period. Although the Fund underperformed its benchmark in the one-year period, the Fund outperformed its benchmark in the three- and five-year periods. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s overall performance.

C.    Fees, Expenses and Profitability

1. Fees and Expenses
The Board evaluated the management fees and other fees and expenses of each Fund. The Board reviewed and considered, among other things, the gross and net management fees paid by the Funds. The Board further considered the net total expense ratios of each Fund (expressed as a percentage of average net assets) as the expense ratio is most reflective of the investors’ net experience in a Fund as it directly reflected the costs of investing in the respective Fund.

In addition, the Board reviewed the Broadridge Report comparing, in relevant part, each Fund’s gross and net advisory fees and net total expense ratios with those of a Peer Universe. The Independent Board Members also reviewed the methodology regarding the construction of the applicable Peer Universe by Broadridge. In reviewing the comparative data, the Board was aware that various factors may limit some of the usefulness of the data, such as differences in size of the peers; the composition of the Peer Universe; changes each year of funds comprising the Peer Universe; levels of expense reimbursements and fee waivers; and differences in the type and use of leverage. Nevertheless, in reviewing a fund’s fees and expenses compared to the fees and expenses of its peers (excluding leverage costs and leveraged assets), the Board generally considered a fund’s expenses 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 Universe. The Board noted that the substantial majority of the Nuveen funds had a net expense ratio that was near or below their respective peer average.

The Independent Board Members noted that (a) the Georgia Fund, the Maryland Fund, the Minnesota Fund, the North Carolina Fund and the Virginia Fund each had a net management fee in line with its respective peer average and a net expense ratio below its respective peer average and (b) the Missouri Fund had a net management fee and net expense ratio slightly higher than its peer averages.

In their evaluation of the management fee schedule, the Independent Board Members also reviewed the fund-level and complex-wide breakpoint schedules, as described in further detail below. With respect to closed-end funds, the Board considered the effects of leverage on fees and expenses, including the calculation of management fees for funds with tender option bonds.

Based on their 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
The Board also reviewed information regarding the respective Fund Adviser’s fee rates for providing advisory services to other types of clients. For the Adviser and/or the Sub-Adviser, such other clients may include municipal separately managed accounts

 

114
NUVEEN


and passively managed exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser but that are offered by another fund complex.

The Board recognized that each Fund had an affiliated sub-adviser. In reviewing the fee rates assessed to other clients, with respect to affiliated sub-advisers, the Board reviewed, among other things, the range of fees and average fee rates assessed for managed accounts.

The Board recognized the inherent differences between the Nuveen funds and the other types of clients. The Board considered information regarding these various differences which included, among other things, the services required, average account sizes, types of investors targeted, legal structure and operations, and applicable laws and regulations. The Independent Board Members recognized that the foregoing variations resulted in different economics among the product structures and culminated in varying management fees among the types of clients and the Nuveen funds. In general, the Board noted that higher fee levels reflected higher levels of service provided by the Fund Adviser, increased investment management complexity, greater product management requirements and higher levels of business risk or some combination of the foregoing. The Board recognized the breadth of services the Adviser provided to support the Nuveen funds as summarized above and noted that many of such administrative services may not be required to the same extent or at all for the institutional clients or other clients. The Board further recognized the passive management of ETFs compared to the active management required of other Nuveen funds would contribute to differing fee levels.

The Independent Board Members noted that the sub-advisory fees paid by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser, however, were generally for portfolio management services. With respect to affiliated sub-advisers, the Board noted such sub-advisory fees were more comparable to the fees of retail wrap accounts and other external sub-advisory mandates.

Given the inherent differences in the various products, particularly the extensive services provided to the Funds, the Board concluded that such facts justify the different levels of fees.

3. Profitability of Fund Advisers
In conjunction with their review of fees, the Independent Board Members also considered Nuveen’s level of profitability for its advisory services to the Nuveen funds for the calendar years 2016 and 2015. In considering profitability, the Independent Board Members considered the level of profitability realized by Nuveen before the imposition of any distribution and marketing expenses incurred by the firm from its own resources. In evaluating the profitability, the Independent Board Members evaluated the analysis employed in developing the profitability figures, including the assumptions and methodology employed in allocating expenses. The Independent Board Members recognized the inherent limitations to any cost allocation methodology as different and reasonable approaches may be used and yet yield differing results. The Independent Board Members further reviewed an analysis of the history of the profitability methodology used explaining any changes to the methodology over the years. The Board has appointed two Independent Board Members, who along with independent legal counsel, helped to review and discuss the methodology employed to develop the profitability analysis each year and any proposed changes thereto and to keep the Board apprised of such changes during the year.

In their review, the Independent Board Members evaluated, among other things, Nuveen’s adjusted operating margins, the gross and net revenue margins (pre-tax and after-tax) for advisory activities for the Nuveen funds, and the revenues, expenses, and net income (pre-tax and after-tax) of Nuveen for each of the last two calendar years. The Independent Board Members also reviewed an analysis of the key drivers behind the changes in revenues and expenses that impacted profitability in 2016 versus 2015. The Board, however, observed that Nuveen’s operating margins for its advisory activities in 2016 were similar to that of 2015.

 

NUVEEN
115


Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)

In addition to reviewing Nuveen’s profitability in absolute terms, the Independent Board Members also reviewed the adjusted total company margins of other advisory firms that had publicly available information and comparable assets under management (based on asset size and asset composition). The Independent Board Members, however, noted that the usefulness of the comparative data may be limited as the other firms may have a different business mix and their profitability data may be affected by numerous other factors such as the types of funds managed, the cost allocation methodology used, and their capital structure. Nevertheless, the Board noted that Nuveen’s adjusted operating margins appeared comparable to the adjusted margins of the peers.

Further, the Adviser is a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC, the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”). To have a fuller picture of the financial condition and strength of the TIAA complex, together with Nuveen, the Board reviewed a balance sheet for TIAA reflecting its assets, liabilities and capital and contingency reserves for the 2016 and 2015 calendar years.

In addition to the Adviser’s profitability, the Independent Board Members also considered the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the Nuveen funds. 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, 2016. 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, 2016.

In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent Board Members also considered other amounts paid to a Fund Adviser for its services to the Funds as well as indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements), if any, the Fund Adviser and its affiliates received or were expected to receive that were directly attributable to the management of a Fund. See Section E below for additional information on indirect benefits a Fund Adviser may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds.

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

When evaluating the level of the advisory fees, the Independent Board Members considered whether there will be any economies of scale that may be realized by the Fund Adviser as a Fund grows and the extent to which these economies were shared with the Funds and shareholders. The Board recognized that economies of scale are difficult to measure with precision; however, the Board considered that there were several ways the Fund Adviser may share the benefits of economies of scale with the Nuveen funds, including through breakpoints in the management fee schedule reducing the fee rates as asset levels grow, fee waivers and/or expense limitation agreements and the Adviser’s investment in its business which can enhance the services provided to the Nuveen funds. With respect to the fee structure, the Independent Board Members have recognized that economies of scale may be realized when a particular fund grows, but also when the total size of the fund complex grows (even if the assets of a particular fund in the complex have not changed or have decreased). Accordingly, subject to certain exceptions, the funds in the Nuveen complex pay a management fee to the Adviser which is generally comprised of a fund-level component and complex-level component, each of which has a breakpoint schedule. Subject to certain exceptions, the fund-level fee component declines as the assets of the particular fund grow and the complex-level fee component declines when eligible assets of all the funds (except for Nuveen ETFs which are subject to a unitary fee) in the Nuveen complex combined grow. In addition, with respect to closed-end funds, the Independent Board Members noted that, although such funds may from time-to-time make additional share offerings, the growth of their assets would occur primarily through the appreciation of such funds’ investment portfolios.

 

116
NUVEEN


The Independent Board Members reviewed the breakpoint and complex-wide schedules and any savings achieved from fee reductions as a result of the fund-level and complex-level breakpoints for the 2016 calendar year. In addition, the Independent Board Members recognized the Adviser’s ongoing investment in its business to expand or enhance the services provided to the benefit of all of the Nuveen funds.

Based on their review, the Board concluded that the current fee structure was acceptable and reflected economies of scale to be shared with shareholders when assets under management increase.

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, including compensation paid to affiliates of a Fund Adviser for services rendered to the funds and research services received by a Fund Adviser from broker-dealers that execute fund trades. The Independent Board Members noted that affiliates of the Adviser may receive compensation for serving as a co-manager for initial public offerings of new Nuveen closed-end funds and as underwriter on shelf offerings for certain existing funds. The Independent Board Members considered the compensation paid for such services in 2016.

In addition to the above, the Independent Board Members considered that the Funds’ portfolio transactions are allocated by the Sub-Adviser and the Sub-Adviser may benefit from research received from broker-dealers that execute Fund portfolio transactions. The Board noted, however, that with respect to transactions in fixed income securities, such securities generally trade on a principal basis and do not generate soft dollar credits. Although the Board recognized the Sub-Adviser may benefit from a soft dollar arrangement if it does not have to pay for this research out of its own assets, the Board also recognized that the research may benefit the Funds to the extent it enhances the ability of the Sub-Adviser to manage the Funds.

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.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. There were no amendments to or waivers from the Code during the period covered by this report. The registrant has posted the code of ethics on its website at www.nuveen.com/CEF/Shareholder/FundGovernance.aspx. (To view the code, click on Code of Conduct.)

ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

The registrant’s Board of Directors or Trustees (“Board”) determined that the registrant has at least one “audit committee financial expert” (as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR) serving on its Audit Committee. The registrant’s audit committee financial experts are Carole E. Stone and Jack B. Evans, who are “independent” for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
 
Ms. Stone served for five years as Director of the New York State Division of the Budget. As part of her role as Director, Ms. Stone was actively involved in overseeing the development of the State’s operating, local assistance and capital budgets, its financial plan and related documents; overseeing the development of the State’s bond-related disclosure documents and certifying that they fairly presented the State’s financial position; reviewing audits of various State and local agencies and programs; and coordinating the State’s system of internal audit and control. Prior to serving as Director, Ms. Stone worked as a budget analyst/examiner with increasing levels of responsibility over a 30 year period, including approximately five years as Deputy Budget Director. Ms. Stone has also served as Chair of the New York State Racing Association Oversight Board, as Chair of the Public Authorities Control Board, as a Commissioner on the New York State Commission on Public Authority Reform and as a member of the Boards of Directors of several New York State public authorities. 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.
 
ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

Nuveen Missouri Quality Municipal Income Fund

The following tables show the amount of fees that KPMG LLP, the Fund’s auditor, billed to the Fund during the Fund’s last two full fiscal years. For engagements with KPMG LLP the Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that KPMG LLP provided to the Fund, 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 pre-approval exception for services provided directly to the Fund 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 Fund to its accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Fund 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).

connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.
                         
                                 
2 "Audit Related Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of
 
financial statements that are not reported under "Audit Fees". These fees include offerings related to the Fund's common shares and leverage.
 
                                 
3 "Tax Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for professional services for tax advice, tax compliance, and tax planning. These fees include: all global
 
withholding tax services; excise and state tax reviews; capital gain, tax equalization and taxable basis calculation performed by the principal accountant.
 
                                 
4 "All Other Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for products and services other than "Audit Fees", "Audit-Related Fees" and "Tax Fees". These fees

SERVICES THAT THE FUND’S AUDITOR BILLED TO THE ADVISER AND AFFILIATED FUND SERVICE PROVIDERS

The following tables show the amount of fees billed by KPMG LLP to Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (formerly Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc.) (the “Adviser”), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund (“Affiliated Fund Service Provider”), for engagements directly related to the Fund’s operations and financial reporting, during the Fund’s last two full fiscal years.

The tables also show the percentage of fees subject to the pre-approval exception. The pre-approval exception for services provided to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider (other than audit, review or attest services) waives the pre-approval requirement if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to KPMG LLP by the Fund, the Adviser and Affiliated Fund Service Providers during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee; (B) the Fund 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 Fund’s audit is completed.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

The following table shows the amount of fees that KPMG LLP billed during the Fund’s last two full fiscal years for non-audit services. The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve non- audit services that KPMG LLP provides to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Services Provider, if the engagement related directly to the Fund’s operations and financial reporting (except for those subject to the pre-approval exception described above). The Audit Committee requested and received information from KPMG LLP about any non-audit services that KPMG LLP rendered during the Fund’s last fiscal year to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The Committee considered this information in evaluating KPMG LLP’s independence.

Less than 50 percent of the hours expended on the principal accountant's engagement to audit the registrant's financial statements for the most recent
fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time, permanent employees.
 
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. Generally, the Audit Committee must approve (i) all non-audit services to be performed for the Fund by the Fund’s independent accountants and (ii) all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Fund’s independent accountants for the Affiliated Fund Service Providers with respect to operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the independent accountants for the Fund and Affiliated Fund Service Providers (with respect to operations and financial reports of the Fund) such engagements will be (i) pre-approved by the Audit Committee if they are expected to be for amounts greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the Audit Committee chairman for his verbal approval prior to engagement if they are expected to be for amounts under $10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii) reported to the Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting if they are expected to be for an amount under $5,000.

ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC is the registrant’s investment adviser (also referred to as the “Adviser”).  The Adviser is responsible for the selection and on-going monitoring of the Fund’s investment portfolio, managing the Fund’s business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services.  The Adviser has engaged Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“Nuveen Asset Management” or “Sub-Adviser”) as Sub-Adviser to provide discretionary investment advisory services. The following section provides information on the portfolio manager at the Sub-Adviser:

Item 8(a)(1). PORTFOLIO MANAGER BIOGRAPHY

Christopher L. Drahn, CFA, Senior Vice President of Nuveen Asset Management, manages several municipal funds and portfolios.  He joined Nuveen Asset Management on January 1, 2011 in connection with Nuveen Fund Advisors acquiring a portion of the asset management business of FAF Advisors.  He began working in the financial industry when he joined FAF Advisors in 1980.  Chris became a portfolio manager in 1988.  He received a B.A. from Wartburg College and an M.B.A. in finance from the University of Minnesota.  Chris holds the Chartered Financial Analyst designation.

Item 8(a)(2). OTHER ACCOUNTS MANAGED BY THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER

POTENTIAL MATERIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one account. More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple accounts are presented a number of potential conflicts, including, among others, those discussed below.

The management of multiple accounts may result in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each account. Nuveen Asset Management seeks to manage such competing interests for the time and attention of portfolio managers by having portfolio managers focus on a particular investment discipline. Most accounts managed by a portfolio manager in a particular investment strategy are managed using the same investment models.

If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity which may be suitable for more than one account, an account may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible accounts. To deal with these situations, Nuveen Asset Management has adopted procedures for allocating limited opportunities across multiple accounts.

With respect to many of its clients’ accounts, Nuveen Asset Management determines which broker to use to execute transaction orders, consistent with its duty to seek best execution of the transaction. However, with respect to certain other accounts, Nuveen Asset Management may be limited by the client with respect to the selection of brokers or may be instructed to direct trades through a particular broker. In these cases, Nuveen Asset Management may place separate, non-simultaneous, transactions for a Fund and other accounts which may temporarily affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the detriment of the Fund or the other accounts.

Some clients are subject to different regulations. As a consequence of this difference in regulatory requirements, some clients may not be permitted to engage in all the investment techniques or transactions or to engage in these transactions to the same extent as the other accounts managed by the portfolio manager. Finally, the appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where Nuveen Asset Management has an incentive, such as a performance-based management fee, which relates to the management of some accounts, with respect to which a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities.

Nuveen Asset Management has adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address these types of conflicts common among investment managers. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.

Item 8(a)(3). FUND MANAGER COMPENSATION

Portfolio manager compensation consists primarily of base pay, an annual cash bonus and long term incentive payments.

Base pay. Base pay is determined based upon an analysis of the portfolio manager’s general performance, experience, and market levels of base pay for such position.

Annual cash bonus.  The Fund’s portfolio managers are eligible for an annual cash bonus based on investment performance, qualitative evaluation and financial performance of Nuveen Asset Management.

A portion of each portfolio manager’s annual cash bonus is based on the Fund’s pre-tax investment performance, generally measured over the past one- and three or five-year periods unless the portfolio manager’s tenure is shorter. Investment performance for the Fund generally is determined by evaluating the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark(s) and/or Lipper industry peer group.

A portion of the cash bonus is based on a qualitative evaluation made by each portfolio manager’s supervisor taking into consideration a number of factors, including the portfolio manager’s team collaboration, expense management, support of personnel responsible for asset growth, and his or her compliance with Nuveen Asset Management’s policies and procedures.
 
The final factor influencing a portfolio manager’s cash bonus is the financial performance of Nuveen Asset Management based on its operating earnings.

Long-term incentive compensation. Certain key employees of Nuveen Asset Management, including certain portfolio managers, have received profits interests in Nuveen Asset Management which entitle their holders to participate in the firm’s growth over time.

There are generally no differences between the methods used to determine compensation with respect to the Fund and the Other Accounts shown in the table above.
