Example

The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of a period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:


	Redemption								No Redemption
	A		B		C		I		A		B		C		I
1 Year	$	495	$	556	$	134	$	56	$	495	$	156	$	134	$	56

Section 1 Fund Summaries

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 18% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal bonds that pay interest that is exempt from regular federal personal income tax. The Fund may invest without limit in securities that generate income subject to the alternative minimum tax. The Fund is a long-term bond fund and, as such, will generally maintain, under normal market conditions, an investment portfolio with an overall weighted average maturity of greater than 10 years.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in investment grade municipal bonds rated BBB/Baa or higher at the time of purchase by at least one independent rating agency, or, if unrated, judged by the Fund’s sub-adviser to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in below investment grade municipal bonds, commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk” bonds.

The Fund may invest in all types of municipal bonds, including general obligation bonds, revenue bonds and participation interests in municipal leases. The Fund may invest in zero coupon bonds, which are issued at substantial discounts from their value at maturity and pay no cash income to their holders until they mature.

The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in municipal securities whose interest payments vary inversely with changes in short-term tax-exempt interest rates ( “inverse floaters” ). Inverse floaters are derivative securities that provide leveraged exposure to underlying municipal bonds. The Fund’s investments in inverse floaters are designed to increase the Fund’s income and returns through this leveraged exposure. These investments are speculative, however, and also create the possibility that income and returns will be diminished.

The Fund’s sub-adviser uses a value-oriented strategy and looks for higher-yielding and undervalued municipal bonds that offer above-average total return. The sub-adviser may choose to sell municipal bonds with deteriorating credit or limited upside potential compared to other available bonds.

Principal Risks

The price and yield of this Fund will change daily, which means you could lose money. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include:

Alternative Minimum Tax Risk —The Fund has no limit as to the amount that can be invested in alternative minimum tax bonds. Therefore, all or a portion of the Fund’s otherwise exempt-interest dividends may be taxable to those shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

Call Risk —If an issuer calls higher-yielding debt instruments held by the Fund, performance could be adversely impacted.

Credit Risk —Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a debt security may be unable or unwilling to make interest and principal payments when due and the related risk that the value of a debt security may decline because of concerns about the issuer’s ability or willingness to make such payments. In addition, parties to other financial contracts with the Fund could default on their obligations. Also, the Fund’s investments in inverse floaters will increase the Fund’s credit risk.

High Yield Securities Risk —High yield securities are high risk investments that may cause income and principal losses for the Fund. They generally have greater credit risk, are less liquid, and have more volatile prices than investment grade securities.

Section 1 Fund Summaries

Income Risk —The Fund’s income could decline during periods of falling interest rates. Also, if the Fund invests in inverse floaters, the Fund’s income may decrease if short-term interest rates rise.

Interest Rate Risk —Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the Fund’s portfolio will decline because of rising interest rates. When interest rates change, the values of longer-duration debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-duration debt securities. Interest rate risk may be increased by the Fund’s investment in inverse floaters because of the leveraged nature of these investments.

Inverse Floaters Risk —The use of inverse floaters by the Fund creates effective leverage. Due to the leveraged nature of these investments, they will typically be more volatile and involve greater risk than the fixed rate municipal bonds underlying the inverse floaters. An investment in certain inverse floaters will involve the risk that the Fund could lose more than its original principal investment. Distributions on inverse floaters bear an inverse relationship to short-term municipal bond interest rates. Thus, distributions paid to the Fund on its inverse floaters will be reduced or even eliminated as short-term municipal interest rates rise and will increase when short-term municipal interest rates fall. Inverse floaters generally will underperform the market for fixed rate municipal bonds in a rising interest rate environment.

Market Risk —The market values of the Fund’s investments may decline, at times sharply and unpredictably.

Municipal Lease Obligations Risk —Participation interests in municipal leases pose special risks because many leases and contracts contain “non-appropriation” clauses that provide that the governmental issuer has no obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract unless money is appropriated for this purpose by the appropriate legislative body.

Political and Economic Risks —The values of municipal securities held by the Fund may be adversely affected by local political and economic conditions and developments. Adverse conditions in an industry significant to a local economy could have a correspondingly adverse effect on the financial condition of local issuers.

Tax Risk —Income from municipal bonds held by the Fund could be declared taxable because of, among other things, unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct of a bond issuer. In addition, a portion of the Fund’s otherwise exempt-interest dividends may be taxable to those shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

Zero Coupon Bonds Risk —Zero coupon bonds do not pay interest on a current basis and may be highly volatile as interest rates rise or fall. In addition, while such bonds generate income for purposes of generally accepted accounting standards, they do not generate cash flow and thus could cause the Fund to be forced to liquidate securities at an inopportune time in order to distribute cash, as required by tax laws.

Fund Performance

The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the potential risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available at www.nuveen.com/MutualFunds/PricingPerformance/Performance.aspx or by calling (800) 257-8787.

Section 1 Fund Summaries

The bar chart below shows the variability of the Fund’s performance from year to year for Class A shares. The performance of the other share classes will differ due to their different expense structures. The bar chart and highest/lowest quarterly returns that follow do not reflect sales charges, and if these charges were reflected, the returns would be less than those shown.

Class A Annual Total Return*

LOGO

Class A year-to-date total return as of June 30, 2012 was 6.53%.

During the ten-year period ended December 31, 2011, the Fund’s highest and lowest quarterly returns were 11.69% and -8.04%, respectively, for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

The table below shows the variability of the Fund’s average annual returns and how they compare over the time periods indicated with those of a broad measure of market performance and an index of funds with similar investment objectives. All after-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. After-tax returns are shown for Class A shares only; after-tax returns for other share classes will vary. Your own actual after-tax returns will depend on your specific tax situation and may differ from what is shown here.

Both the bar chart and the table assume that all distributions have been reinvested. Performance reflects fee waivers, if any, in effect during the periods presented. If any such waivers were not in place, returns would be reduced.

Tax Information

The Fund intends to make distributions that are exempt from regular federal income tax. All or a portion of these distributions, however, may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and state and local taxes.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank or financial advisor), the Fund, its distributor or its investment adviser may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial advisor or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

The contingent deferred sales charge on Class C shares applies only to redemptions within 12 months of purchase.

Other Expenses have been restated to reflect current contractual fees.

The Fund’s investment adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses through August 31, 2013 so that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding 12b-1 distribution and/or service fees, interest expenses, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.60% (1.05% after August 31, 2013) of the average daily net assets of any class of Fund shares. The expense limitation expiring August 31, 2013 may be terminated or modified prior to that date only with the approval of the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The expense limitation in effect thereafter may be terminated or modified only with the approval of shareholders of the Fund.

Example

The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of a period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are at the applicable expense limitation. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Section 1 Fund Summaries

Portfolio Turnover

Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal bonds that pay interest that is exempt from regular federal personal income tax. The Fund may invest without limit in securities that generate income subject to the alternative minimum tax. The Fund generally invests in intermediate and long-term bonds with a duration of between two and ten years, and generally intends to maintain the weighted average duration of its municipal bond portfolio within a defined intermediate-term range (currently, between four and seven years) over time.

The Fund seeks to protect investors from inflation in two ways. First, as with other municipal bond funds, a portion of the Fund’s current yield compensates an investor for current inflation expectations. Second, the Fund seeks to mitigate the effect that subsequent increases in inflation expectations may have on the purchasing power of the Fund by investing in inflation-linked instruments, such as Consumer Price Index (CPI) swaps, in amounts sufficient to approximate the duration characteristics of the Fund’s underlying municipal bond portfolio.

Principal Risks

Call Risk —If an issuer calls higher-yielding debt instruments held by the Fund, performance could be adversely impacted.

Declining Inflation Risk —The Fund’s inflation-hedging strategy primarily involves the use of CPI swaps. The Fund will benefit from a CPI swap if actual inflation during the swap’s period is greater than the level of inflation expected for that period at the time the swap was initiated. However, if actual inflation turns out to be less than expected, the Fund will lose money on the swap. In such circumstances, the Fund will underperform an otherwise identical municipal bond fund that had not utilized such inflation hedges.

Section 1 Fund Summaries

Income Risk —The Fund’s income could decline during periods of falling interest rates.

Inflation-Linked Instruments Risk —The returns of CPI swaps or other inflation-linked instruments reflect a specified index of inflation. There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure either the actual future rate of inflation or the rate of expected future inflation reflected in the prices and yields of municipal bonds. As a result, the Fund’s inflation-hedging strategy may not perform as expected. CPI swaps may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. CPI swaps create leverage, which may cause the Fund’s net asset value and returns to be more volatile than they would be if the Fund had not used swaps. CPI swaps also expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the swap counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations.

Market Risk —The market values of the Fund’s investments may decline, at times sharply and unpredictably.

Non-Diversification Risk —As a non-diversified fund, the Fund may invest a larger portion of its assets in the securities of a limited number of issuers and may be more sensitive to any single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a diversified fund.

Regulatory Risk —The Fund is presently exempt from regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“ CFTC ”). However, the CFTC has recently adopted amendments to its rules, which, upon their compliance dates, may subject the Fund to regulation by the CFTC and impose on it additional disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping obligations. Compliance with these additional obligations may increase Fund expenses. Certain of the rules that would apply to the Fund if it becomes subject to CFTC regulation have not yet been adopted, and it is unclear what effect such rules would have on the Fund if they are adopted.

Fund Performance

Fund performance is not included in this prospectus because the Fund has not been in existence for a full calendar year.

Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal market conditions, as a fundamental policy, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal securities that pay interest that is exempt from federal income tax, including the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund normally may invest up to 20% of its net assets in taxable obligations, including obligations the interest on which is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund will attempt to maintain the weighted average maturity of its portfolio securities at three years or less under normal market conditions.

The Fund invests mainly in securities that, at the time of purchase, are either rated investment grade or are unrated and determined to be of comparable quality by the Fund’s sub-adviser. However, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities that, at the time of purchase, are rated lower than investment grade or are unrated and of comparable quality (securities commonly referred to as “high yield” securities or “junk bonds”). If the rating of a security is reduced or discontinued after purchase, the Fund is not required to sell the security, but may consider doing so.

The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in municipal securities whose interest payments vary inversely with changes in short-term tax-exempt interest rates (“ inverse floaters ”). Inverse floaters are derivative securities that provide leveraged exposure to underlying municipal bonds. The Fund’s investments in inverse floaters are designed to increase the Fund’s income and returns through this leveraged exposure. These investments are speculative, however, and also create the possibility that income and returns will be diminished.

The Fund may utilize futures contracts and options on futures contracts in an attempt to manage market risk, credit risk and yield curve risk, and to manage the effective maturity or duration of securities in the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund may not use such instruments to gain exposure to a security or type of security that it would be prohibited by its investment restrictions from purchasing directly.

Principal Risks

Alternative Minimum Tax Risk —The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in alternative minimum tax bonds. To the extent that the Fund invests in such bonds, that portion of the Fund’s otherwise exempt-interest dividends may be taxable to those shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

Call Risk —If an issuer calls higher-yielding debt instruments held by the Fund, performance could be adversely impacted.

Section 1 Fund Summaries

Futures Contract Risk —The use of futures contracts involves additional risks and transaction costs which could leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments. Futures contracts may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest. As a result, a small investment in futures contracts could have a large impact on performance.

Market Risk —The market values of the Fund’s investments may decline, at times sharply and unpredictably.

Class A Annual Total Return*

Class A year-to-date total return as of June 30, 2012 was 1.50%.

During the nine-year period ended December 31, 2011, the Fund’s highest and lowest quarterly returns were 2.74% and -1.56%, respectively, for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008.

The table below shows the variability of the Fund’s average annual returns and how they compare over the time periods indicated with those of a broad measure of market performance and an index of funds with similar investment objectives. Previously, the Fund used Barclays 3-Year Municipal Bond Index as its benchmark. Going forward, the Fund’s performance will be compared to Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Municipal Bond Short Index because it more closely reflects the Fund’s investment universe. All after-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. After-tax returns are shown for Class A shares only; after-tax returns for other share classes will vary. Class C shares have not been offered for a full calendar year, and thus do not have any performance to report. Your own actual after-tax returns will depend on your specific tax situation and may differ from what is shown here.

Management Fees

The management fee schedule for each Fund consists of two components: a Fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within a Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by Nuveen Fund Advisors.

The annual Fund-level fee, payable monthly, is based upon the average daily net assets of each Fund as follows:


Average Daily Net Assets	Nuveen All-American Municipal Bond Fund			Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund			Nuveen Intermediate Duration Municipal Bond Fund			Nuveen Limited Term Municipal Bond Fund			Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund

Section 2 How We Manage Your Money

The overall complex-level fee begins at a maximum rate of 0.2000% of each Fund’s average daily net assets, based upon complex-level assets of $55 billion, with breakpoints for eligible assets above that level. Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen Limited Term Municipal Bond Fund pay the overall complex-level fee rate. Nuveen All-American Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Intermediate Duration Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund’s complex-level fee rate is determined by taking the current overall complex-level fee rate and making, as appropriate, an upward adjustment to that rate based upon the percentage of each Fund’s assets that are not “eligible assets.” The maximum management fee rate for each Fund is the Fund-level fee plus 0.2000%. As of June 30, 2012, the Funds’ effective complex-level fee rates were as follows:


	Complex-Level Fee Rate
Nuveen All-American Municipal Bond Fund		0.1775	%
Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund		0.1731	%

Municipal Obligations

States, local governments and municipalities and other issuing authorities issue municipal bonds to raise money for various public purposes such as building public facilities, refinancing outstanding obligations and financing general operating expenses. These bonds include general obligation bonds, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the issuer and may be repaid from any revenue source, and revenue bonds, which may be repaid only from the revenue of a specific facility or source.

The Funds may purchase municipal bonds that represent lease obligations. These carry special risks because the issuer of the bonds may not be obligated to appropriate money annually to make payments under the lease. In order to reduce this risk, the Funds will, in making purchase decisions, take into consideration the issuer’s incentive to continue making appropriations until maturity.

The municipal securities in which the Funds invest may include refunded bonds and zero coupon bonds. Refunded bonds may have originally been issued as general obligation or revenue bonds, but become “refunded” when they are secured by an escrow fund, usually consisting entirely of direct U.S. government obligations and/or U.S. government agency obligations. Zero coupon bonds are issued at substantial discounts from their value at maturity and pay no cash income to their holders until they mature. When held to maturity, their entire return comes from the difference between their purchase price and their maturity value.

The debt obligations in which the Funds invest may have variable, floating, or fixed interest rates.

In evaluating municipal bonds of different credit qualities or maturities, Nuveen Asset Management takes into account the size of yield spreads. Yield spread is the additional return the Funds may earn by taking on additional credit risk or interest rate risk. For example, yields on low quality bonds are higher than yields on high quality bonds because investors must be compensated for incurring the higher credit risk associated with low quality bonds. If yield spreads do not provide adequate compensation for the additional risk associated with low quality bonds, the Funds may buy bonds of relatively higher quality. Similarly, in evaluating bonds of different

Section 2 How We Manage Your Money

maturities, Nuveen Asset Management evaluates the comparative yield available on these bonds. If yield spreads on long-term bonds do not compensate the Funds adequately for the additional interest rate risk the Funds must assume, the Funds may buy bonds of relatively shorter maturity. In addition, municipal bonds in a particular industry may provide higher yields relative to their risk compared to bonds in other industries. If that occurs, the Funds may buy more bonds from issuers in that industry.

Credit Quality

The Funds have investment strategies requiring them to invest in municipal bonds that have received a particular rating from a rating service, such as Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s. Any reference in this prospectus to a specific rating encompasses all gradations of that rating. For example, if the prospectus says that a Fund may invest in securities rated as low as B, the Fund may invest in securities rated B-. Municipal bonds that are rated below investment grade (BB/Ba or lower) are commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk” bonds. High yield bonds typically offer higher yields than investment grade bonds with similar maturities but involve greater risks, including the possibility of default or bankruptcy, and increased market price volatility.

Portfolio Maturity and Duration

Maturity measures the time until a bond makes its final payment. Each Fund buys municipal bonds with different maturities in pursuit of its investment objective, but will generally maintain, under normal market conditions, an investment portfolio with an overall weighted average maturity within a defined range. Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund will attempt to maintain the weighted average maturity of its portfolio securities at three years or less under normal market conditions. Nuveen Limited Term Municipal Bond Fund will attempt to maintain the weighted average maturity of its portfolio securities at three to seven years under normal market conditions. Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund will generally maintain, under normal market conditions, an investment portfolio with an overall weighted average maturity of five to fifteen years. Nuveen All-American Municipal Bond Fund will maintain, under normal market conditions, an investment portfolio with an overall weighted average maturity in excess of 10 years.

Duration measures the bond’s expected life on a present value basis, taking into account the bond’s yield, interest payments and final maturity. Duration is a reasonably accurate measure of a bond’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration of a bond, the greater the bond’s price sensitivity is to changes in interest rates. For example, if a bond has a duration of five years, its value will change by approximately 5% if interest rates change by 1%. Nuveen Intermediate Duration Municipal Bond Fund maintains a weighted average portfolio duration of 3 to 10 years. Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund generally invests in intermediate and long-term bonds with a duration of between two and ten years. Nuveen Asset Management intends to maintain Nuveen Intermediate Duration Municipal Bond Fund’s duration within a defined range (currently between 4.5 and 7 years) over time in order to be classified as an intermediate fund and Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund’s duration within a defined intermediate-term range (currently between four and seven years) over time.

Section 2 How We Manage Your Money

Inverse Floaters

Each Fund, other than Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund, may invest up to 15% of its net assets in inverse floaters issued in tender option bond (“ TOB ”) transactions. In a TOB transaction, one or more highly-rated municipal bonds are deposited into a special purpose trust that issues floating rate securities (“ floaters ”) to outside parties and inverse floaters to long-term investors like the Funds. The floaters pay interest at a rate that is reset periodically (generally weekly) to reflect current short-term tax-exempt interest rates. Holders of the floaters have the right to tender such securities back to the TOB trust for par plus accrued interest (the “ put option ”), typically on seven days’ notice. Holders of the floaters are paid from the proceeds of a successful remarketing of the floaters or by a liquidity provider in the event of a failed remarketing. The inverse floaters pay interest at a rate equal to (a) the interest accrued on the underlying bonds, minus (b) the sum of the interest payable on the floaters and fees payable in connection with the TOB. Thus, the interest payments on the inverse floaters will vary inversely with the short-term rates paid on the floaters. Holders of the inverse floaters typically have the right to simultaneously (a) cause the holders of the floaters to tender those floaters to the TOB trust at par plus accrued interest and (b) purchase the municipal bonds from the TOB trust.

Because holders of the floaters have the right to tender their securities to the TOB trust at par plus accrued interest, holders of the inverse floaters are exposed to all of the gains or losses on the underlying municipal bonds, despite the fact that their net cash investment is significantly less than the value of those bonds. This multiplies the positive or negative impact of the underlying bonds’ price movements on the value of the inverse floaters, thereby creating effective leverage. The effective leverage created by any TOB transaction depends on the value of the securities deposited in the TOB trust relative to the value of the floaters it issues. The higher the percentage of the TOB trust’s total value represented by the floaters, the greater the effective leverage. For example, if municipal bonds worth $100 are deposited in a TOB trust and the TOB trust issues floaters worth $75 and inverse floaters worth $25, the TOB trust will have a leverage ratio of 3:1 and the inverse floaters will exhibit price movements at a rate that is four times that of the underlying bonds deposited into the trust. If that same TOB trust were to issue only $50 of floaters, the leverage ratio would be 1:1 and the inverse floaters would exhibit price movements at a rate that is only two times that of the underlying bonds.

CPI Swaps and Other Inflation-Linked Instruments

Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund seeks to hedge inflation risk by investing in inflation-linked instruments, such as Consumer Price Index (CPI) swaps, in amounts sufficient to approximate the duration characteristics of the Fund’s underlying municipal bond portfolio. A CPI swap is a fixed maturity, over-the-counter derivative in which one party (the Fund) pays to another party (the counterparty) a predetermined fixed annualized rate over the life of the swap and receives in return the “realized” rate of inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers Non-Seasonally Adjusted over the life of the swap. The Fund will benefit from a CPI swap if actual inflation during the swap’s period is greater than the level of inflation expected for that period at the time the swap was entered into, and conversely the Fund will lose money on a CPI swap if actual inflation turns out to be less than expected.

Section 2 How We Manage Your Money

U.S. Government Securities

Under certain market conditions, Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund may invest up to 100% of its net assets in inflation-indexed bonds of varying maturities issued by the U.S. Government and its agencies (such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS)) to hedge inflation risk and manage swap counterparty exposure. The Fund may also, for cash management or defensive purposes (such as thinness in the market for municipal bonds or an expected substantial decline in the value of long-term municipal obligations), invest temporarily up to 100% of its net assets in other U.S. Government securities, which include U.S. Treasury obligations and securities issued or guaranteed by various agencies of the U.S. Government, or by various instrumentalities that have been established or sponsored by the U.S. Government. U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies or U.S. Government-sponsored instrumentalities may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Interest on each such instrument is taxable for federal income tax purposes and would reduce the amount of tax-free interest payable to shareholders of the Fund.

Investment Companies and Other Pooled Investment Vehicles

Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in securities of other open-end or closed-end investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ ETFs ”), that invest primarily in securities of the types in which the Fund may invest directly. In addition, the Fund may invest a portion of its assets in pooled investment vehicles (other than investment companies) that invest primarily in securities of the types in which the Fund may invest directly. The Fund may invest in the securities of ETFs in excess of the limits imposed under the 1940 Act pursuant to exemptive orders obtained by certain ETFs and their sponsors from the Securities and Exchange Commission. An ETF is a fund that holds a portfolio of securities generally designed to track the performance of a securities index, including industry, sector, country and region indexes. ETFs trade on a securities exchange and their shares may, at times, trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value.

As a shareholder in a pooled investment vehicle, the Fund will bear its ratable share of that vehicle’s expenses, and would remain subject to payment of the Fund’s advisory and administrative fees with respect to assets so invested. Shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other pooled investment vehicles. In addition, the Fund will incur brokerage costs when purchasing and selling shares of ETFs. Securities of other pooled investment vehicles may be leveraged, in which case the value and/or yield of such securities will tend to be more volatile than securities of unleveraged vehicles.

Short-Term Investments

Under normal market conditions, each Fund, other than Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund, may invest up to 20% of its net assets in short-term investments except when made for defensive purposes, such as short-term, high quality municipal bonds or tax-exempt money market funds. The Funds

Section 2 How We Manage Your Money

may invest in short-term, high quality taxable securities or shares of taxable money market funds if suitable short-term municipal bonds or shares of tax-exempt money market funds are not available at reasonable prices and yields. If the Funds invest in taxable securities, they may not be able to achieve their investment objectives.

Each Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in cash equivalents and short-term investments as a temporary defensive measure in response to adverse market conditions or to keep cash on hand fully invested. During these periods, the weighted average maturity of a Fund’s investment portfolio may fall below the defined range described in the respective Fund Summary under “Principal Investment Strategies” and the Fund may not achieve its objective. The Funds do not expect to invest substantial amounts in short-term investments as a defensive measure except under extraordinary circumstances.

For more information on eligible short-term investments, see the statement of additional information.

When-Issued, Delayed-Delivery and Forward Commitment Transactions

Each Fund may enter into contracts to purchase securities for a specified price at a future date later than the normal settlement date.

Municipal “forwards” pay higher interest rates after settlement than standard bonds to compensate the buyer for bearing market risk but deferring income during the settlement period, and can often be bought at attractive prices and yields. For instance, if a Fund knows that a portfolio bond will, or is likely to, be called or mature on a specific future date, the Fund may buy a forward settling on or about that date to replace the called or maturing bond and “lock in” a currently attractive interest rate.

Portfolio Holdings

A description of the Funds’ policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Funds’ portfolio holdings is available in the Funds’ statement of additional information. Certain portfolio holdings information for each Fund is available on the Funds’ website—www.nuveen.com—by clicking the “Individual Investors” link and then clicking the “Products & Performance—Mutual Funds” link and following the applicable link for your Fund. By following these links, you can obtain a list of your Fund’s top ten holdings as of the end of the most recent month. A complete list of portfolio holdings information is generally made available on the Funds’ website approximately five business days following the end of each most recent month. This information will remain available on the website until the Funds file with the Securities and Exchange Commission their annual, semi-annual or quarterly holdings report for the fiscal period that includes the date(s) as of which the website information is current.

Additional Information Regarding the Investment Process for Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund

Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund is an actively managed portfolio that aims to provide after-tax total return, protected from inflation, through a combination of federally tax-exempt income, security selection, and inflation-linked investments. In order to achieve its objective, the Fund invests primarily in intermediate duration, tax-exempt municipal bonds and utilizes an inflation-hedging strategy to protect the portfolio against unanticipated increases in inflation.

Nuveen Asset Management seeks to preserve the expected future purchasing power of the Fund’s underlying municipal bond portfolio by investing in inflation-linked instruments, such as CPI swaps, in amounts sufficient to approximate the duration characteristics of the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund will benefit from CPI swaps when inflation expectations rise, but will lose money on CPI swaps when inflation expectations fall. Under normal market conditions, the Fund’s CPI swap overlay will cover the full market value of the Fund’s underlying municipal bond portfolio.

Risk is inherent in all investing. Investing in a mutual fund involves risk, including the risk that you may receive little or no return on your investment or even that you may lose part or all of your investment. Therefore, before investing you should consider carefully the principal risks and certain other risks that you assume when you invest in the Funds. These risks are listed alphabetically below. Because of these risks, you should consider an investment in the Funds to be a long-term investment.

Principal Risks

Alternative minimum tax risk: Each Fund, other than Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund, has no limit as to the amount that can be invested in alternative minimum tax bonds. Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in alternative minimum tax bonds. Therefore, all or a portion of a Fund’s otherwise exempt-interest dividends may be taxable to those shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

Section 2 How We Manage Your Money

Call risk: Many bonds may be redeemed at the option of the issuer, or “called,” before their stated maturity date. In general, an issuer will call its bonds if they can be refinanced by issuing new bonds which bear a lower interest rate. Each Fund is subject to the possibility that during periods of falling interest rates, a bond issuer will call its high yielding bonds. A Fund would then be forced to invest the unanticipated proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the Fund’s income.

Credit risk: Each Fund is subject to the risk that the issuers of debt securities held by a Fund will not make payments on the securities. There is also the risk that an issuer could suffer adverse changes in financial condition that could lower the credit quality of a security. This could lead to greater volatility in the price of the security and in shares of the Fund. Also, a change in the credit quality rating of a bond could affect the bond’s liquidity and make it more difficult for a Fund to sell. When a Fund purchases unrated securities, it will depend on the sub-adviser’s analysis of credit risk without the assessment of an independent rating organization, such as Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s. Credit risk may be increased by a Fund’s investments in inverse floaters because of the leveraged nature of these investments.

Declining inflation risk: Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund’s inflation-hedging strategy primarily involves the use of CPI swaps. The Fund will benefit from a CPI swap if actual inflation during the swap’s period is greater than the level of inflation expected for that period at the time the swap was initiated. However, if actual inflation turns out to be less than expected, the Fund will lose money on the swap. In such circumstances, the Fund will underperform an otherwise identical municipal bond fund that had not utilized such inflation hedges.

Futures contract risk : The use of futures contracts exposes a Fund to additional risks and transaction costs. Additional risks include the risk that securities prices, index prices, or interest rates will not move in the direction that the sub-adviser anticipates; an imperfect correlation between the price of the futures contract and movements in the prices of the securities being hedged; the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument and possible exchange imposed price fluctuation limits, either of which may make it difficult or impossible to close out a position when desired; leverage risk, which is the risk that adverse price movements in a futures contract can result in a loss substantially greater than a Fund’s initial investment in that futures contract; and the risk that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations, which could leave a Fund worse off than if it had not entered into the position. If a Fund uses futures contracts and the sub-adviser’s judgment proves incorrect, the Fund’s performance could be worse than if it had not used these instruments.

High yield securities risk: Each Fund may invest in high yield securities, which involve more risk than investment grade securities. High yield securities may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic conditions than investment grade securities, and they generally have more volatile prices and carry more risk to principal. In addition, liquidity risk is greater for high yield securities than for investment grade securities.

Income risk: Each Fund’s income could decline due to falling market interest rates. This is because, in a falling interest rate environment, a Fund generally will have to invest the proceeds from sales of Fund shares, as well as the proceeds from maturing portfolio securities (or portfolio securities that have been called, see “Call risk” above), in lower-yielding securities. Also, if a

Section 2 How We Manage Your Money

Fund invests in inverse floaters, whose income payments vary inversely with changes in short-term market rates, the Fund’s income may decrease if short-term interest rates rise.

Inflation-linked instruments risk: With respect to Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund, the returns of CPI swaps or inflation-linked securities such as TIPS reflect a specified index of inflation, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers Non-Seasonally Adjusted (CPI-U NSA). There can be no assurance that the CPI-U NSA will accurately measure either the rate of expected future inflation reflected in the prices and yields of municipal bonds or the actual future rate of inflation. These instruments may lose value if the expected or actual future rate of inflation is greater than the inflation rate as measured by the CPI-U NSA. In addition, inflation-linked instruments are subject to the risk that the CPI-U NSA or other relevant pricing index may be discontinued or fundamentally altered in a materially adverse manner to the interests of an investor in the instruments or substituted with an alternative index. Inflation-linked instruments are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of an inflation-linked instrument tends to decrease when real interest rates increase and increase when real interest rates decrease. Interest payments on inflation-linked instruments are unpredictable and will fluctuate as the principal and/or interest are adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-linked instrument other than a CPI swap may be considered taxable ordinary income, even though Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund will not receive the principal until maturity.

Swaps may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Swaps expose the Fund to counterparty risk (i.e., the risk that the swap counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations) and to the credit risk of the swap counterparty. The Fund’s transactions in swaps and other inflation-linked instruments could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders, thereby resulting in the Fund realizing more short-term capital gain and ordinary income subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax return.

Interest rate risk: Debt securities in the Funds will fluctuate in value with changes in interest rates. In general, debt securities will increase in value when interest rates fall and decrease in value when interest rates rise. Longer-term debt securities are generally more sensitive to interest rate changes. Interest rate risk may be increased by a Fund’s investment in inverse floaters and forward commitments because of the leveraged nature of these investments.

Inverse floaters risk: Each Fund, other than Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund, may invest in inverse floaters. The use of inverse floaters by a Fund creates effective leverage. Due to the leveraged nature of these investments, the value of an inverse floater will increase and decrease to a significantly greater extent than the values of the TOB trust’s underlying municipal bonds in responses to changes in market interest rates or credit quality. An investment in inverse floaters typically will involve greater risk than an investment in a fixed rate municipal bond, including, in the case of recourse inverse floaters (discussed below), the risk that a Fund may lose more than its original principal investment.

Section 2 How We Manage Your Money

Distributions on inverse floaters bear an inverse relationship to short-term municipal bond interest rates. Thus, distributions paid to a Fund on its inverse floaters will be reduced or even eliminated as short-term municipal interest rates rise and will increase when short-term municipal interest rates fall. The greater the amount of floaters sold by a TOB trust relative to the inverse floaters (i.e., the greater the effective leverage of the inverse floaters), the more volatile the distributions on the inverse floaters will be. Inverse floaters generally will underperform the market for fixed rate municipal bonds in a rising interest rate environment.

Each Fund, other than Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund, may invest in recourse inverse floaters. With such an investment, the Fund will be required to reimburse the liquidity provider of a TOB trust for any shortfall between the outstanding amount of any floaters and the value of the municipal bonds in the TOB trust in the event the floaters cannot be successfully remarketed, which could cause the Fund to lose money in excess of its investment.

A TOB trust may be terminated without a Fund’s consent upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the bankruptcy or default of the issuer of the securities in the trust. If that happens, the floaters will be redeemed at par (plus accrued interest) out of the proceeds from the sale of securities in the TOB trust, and the Fund will be entitled to the remaining proceeds, if any. Thus, if there is a decrease in the value of the securities held in the TOB trust, the Fund may lose some or all of the principal amount of its investment in the inverse floaters. As noted above, in the case of recourse inverse floaters, the Fund could lose money in excess of its investment.

Market risk: The market values of the Funds’ investments may decline, at times sharply and unpredictably. Market values of debt securities are affected by a number of different factors, including changes in interest rates, the credit quality of bond issuers, and general economic and market conditions.

Municipal lease obligations risk: The Funds may purchase participation interests in municipal leases. These are undivided interests in a lease, installment purchase contract, or conditional sale contract entered into by a state or local government unit to acquire equipment or facilities. Participation interests in municipal leases pose special risks because many leases and contracts contain “non-appropriation” clauses that provide that the governmental issuer has no obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract unless money is appropriated for this purpose by the appropriate legislative body. Although these kinds of obligations are secured by the leased equipment or facilities, it might be difficult and time consuming to dispose of the equipment or facilities in the event of non-appropriation, and the Fund might not recover the full principal amount of the obligation.

Non-diversification risk: Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund is non-diversified. A non-diversified fund may invest a larger portion of its assets in a fewer number of issuers than a diversified fund. Because a relatively high percentage of the Fund’s assets may be invested in the securities of a limited number of issuers, the Fund’s portfolio may be more susceptible to any single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than the portfolio of a diversified fund.

Section 2 How We Manage Your Money

Political and economic risks : The values of municipal securities may be adversely affected by local political and economic conditions and developments. Adverse conditions in an industry significant to a local economy could have a correspondingly adverse effect on the financial condition of local issuers. Other factors that could affect municipal securities include a change in the local, state, or national economy, demographic factors, ecological or environmental concerns, statutory limitations on the issuer’s ability to increase taxes, and other developments generally affecting the revenue of issuers (for example, legislation or court decisions reducing state aid to local governments or mandating additional services).

Regulatory risk: The Funds are presently exempt from regulation by the CFTC. However, the CFTC has recently adopted amendments to its rules, which, upon their compliance dates, may subject Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund to regulation by the CFTC and impose on it additional disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping obligations. Compliance with these additional obligations may increase that Fund’s expenses. Certain of the rules that would apply to a Fund if it becomes subject to CFTC regulation have not yet been adopted, and it is unclear what effect such rules would have on a Fund if they are adopted.

Tax risk: Income from municipal bonds held by a Fund could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct of a bond issuer. On September 12, 2011, President Obama submitted to Congress the American Jobs Act of 2011 (the “ Jobs Act ” ). If enacted in its proposed form, the Jobs Act generally would limit the exclusion from gross income of tax-exempt interest (which includes exempt-interest dividends received from a Fund) for individuals whose adjusted gross income for federal income tax purposes exceeds certain thresholds. Such proposal could affect the value of the municipal bonds owned by a Fund. The likelihood of the Jobs Act being enacted in the form introduced or in some other form cannot be predicted. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential consequences of the Jobs Act and other proposed or potential legislation on their investment in a Fund.

Zero coupon bonds risk: As interest on zero coupon bonds is not paid on a current basis, the values of the bonds are subject to greater fluctuations than are the value of bonds that distribute income regularly and may be more speculative than such bonds. Accordingly, the values of zero coupon bonds may be highly volatile as interest rates rise or fall. In addition, while zero coupon bonds generate income for purposes of generally accepted accounting standards, they do not generate cash flow and thus could cause a Fund to be forced to liquidate securities at an inopportune time in order to distribute cash, as required by tax laws.

Other Risks

Borrowing risk: A Fund may borrow for temporary or emergency purposes, including to meet redemption requests, pay dividends, repurchase its shares, or clear portfolio transactions. Borrowing may exaggerate changes in the net asset value of a Fund’s shares and may affect a Fund’s net income. When a Fund borrows money, it must pay interest and other fees, which will reduce the Fund’s returns if such costs exceed the returns on the portfolio securities purchased or retained with such borrowings. Any such borrowings are intended to be temporary. However, under certain market conditions, including periods of low demand or decreased liquidity in the municipal bond market, such borrowings might be outstanding for longer periods of time.

Section 2 How We Manage Your Money

Inflation risk: The value of assets or income from investments may be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the value of a Fund’s assets can decline, as can the value of a Fund’s distributions.

Small fund risk: Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund currently has less assets than larger funds, and like other relatively small funds, large inflows and outflows may impact the Fund’s market exposure for limited periods of time, causing the Fund’s performance to vary from that of the Fund’s model portfolio. This impact may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of market movement during the period affected. The Fund has policies in place which seek to reduce the impact of these flows where Nuveen Fund Advisors has prior knowledge of them.

When-issued, delayed-delivery and forward commitment transactions: These transactions involve an additional element of risk because, although a Fund will not have made any cash outlay prior to the settlement date, the value of the security to be purchased may decline before that settlement date.

The Distributor pays financial intermediaries of record a commission equal to 0.60% of the first $2.5 million, plus 0.50% of the next $2.5 million, plus 0.25% of the amount over $5 million. Unless you are eligible for a waiver, you may be assessed a CDSC of 0.60% if you redeem any of your shares within 6 months of purchase, 0.50% if you redeem any of your shares within 12 months of purchase and 0.25% if you redeem any of your shares within 18 months of purchase. See “How to Sell Shares—Contingent Deferred Sales Charge” below for more information.

Class B Shares

Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Limited Term Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund do not issue Class B shares. Nuveen All-American Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen Intermediate Duration Municipal Bond Fund will issue Class B shares upon the exchange of Class B shares from another Nuveen Mutual Fund or for purposes of dividend reinvestment, but Class B shares are not available for new accounts or for additional investment into existing accounts.

Class B shares are subject to annual distribution and service fees of 0.95% of your Fund’s average daily net assets. The annual 0.20% service fee compensates your financial advisor or other financial intermediary for providing ongoing service to you. The annual 0.75% distribution fee compensates the Distributor for paying your financial advisor or other financial intermediary a 4% up-front sales commission, which includes an advance of the first year’s service fee. The Distributor retains the service and distribution fees on accounts with no financial intermediary of record. If you redeem your shares within six years of purchase, you will normally pay a CDSC as shown in the schedule below. The CDSC is based on your purchase price or redemption proceeds, whichever is lower. You do not pay a CDSC on any Class B shares you purchase by reinvesting dividends.


Years Since Purchase	0-1			1-2			2-3			3-4			4-5			5-6			Over 6
CDSC		5	%		4	%		4	%		3	%		2	%		1	%		None

Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after you buy them so that the distribution fees you pay over the life of your investment are limited. You will continue to pay an annual service fee on any converted Class B shares.

Class C Shares

You can purchase Class C shares at the offering price, which is the net asset value per share without any up-front sales charge. Class C shares are subject to annual distribution and service fees of 0.75% (0.55% for Nuveen Limited Term Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund) of your Fund’s average daily net assets. The annual 0.20% service fee compensates your financial advisor or other financial intermediary for providing ongoing service to you. The annual 0.55% (0.35% for Nuveen Limited Term Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund) distribution fee compensates the Distributor for paying your financial advisor or other financial intermediary an ongoing sales commission as well

Section 3 How You Can Buy and Sell Shares

as an advance of the first year’s service and distribution fees. The Distributor retains the service and distribution fees on accounts with no financial intermediary of record. If you redeem your shares within 12 months of purchase, you will normally pay a 1% CDSC, which is calculated on the lower of your purchase price or redemption proceeds. You do not pay a CDSC on any Class C shares you purchase by reinvesting dividends.

The Funds have established a limit to the amount of Class C shares that may be purchased by an individual investor. See the statement of additional information for more information.

Class I Shares

You can purchase Class I shares at the offering price, which is the net asset value per share without any up-front sales charge. As Class I shares are not subject to sales charges or ongoing service or distribution fees, they have lower ongoing expenses than the other classes.

Class I shares are available for purchase by clients of financial intermediaries who charge such clients an ongoing fee for advisory, investment, consulting or related services. Such clients may include individuals, corporations, endowments and foundations. The minimum initial investment for such clients is $100,000, but this minimum will be lowered to $250 for clients of financial intermediaries that have accounts holding Class I shares with an aggregate value of at least $100,000. The Distributor may also lower the minimum to $250 for clients of financial intermediaries anticipated to reach this Class I share holdings level.

Class I shares are also available for purchase by family offices and their clients. A family office is a company that provides certain financial and other services to a high net worth family or families. The minimum initial investment for family offices and their clients is $100,000, but this minimum will be lowered to $250 for clients of family offices that have accounts holding Class I shares with an aggregate value of at least $100,000. The Distributor may also lower the minimum to $250 for clients of family offices anticipated to reach this Class I share holdings level.

Class I shares are also available for purchase, with no minimum initial investment, by the following categories of investors:

•

Certain bank or broker-affiliated trust departments.

•

Advisory accounts of Nuveen Fund Advisors and its affiliates.

•

Current and former trustees/directors of any Nuveen Fund, and their immediate family members (as defined in the statement of additional information).

•

Officers, directors and former directors of Nuveen Investments and its affiliates, and their immediate family members.

•

Full-time and retired employees of Nuveen Investments and its affiliates, and their immediate family members.

•

Certain financial intermediary personnel, and their immediate family members.

Please refer to the statement of additional information for more information about Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares, including more detailed program descriptions and eligibility requirements. Additional information is also available from your financial advisor, who can also help you prepare any necessary application forms.

Section 3 How You Can Buy and Sell Shares

LOGO

The Funds offer a number of ways to reduce or eliminate the up-front sales charge on Class A shares. See “What Share Classes We Offer” (above) for a discussion of eligibility requirements for purchasing Class I shares.

Class A Sales Charge Reductions

•

Rights of Accumulation. In calculating the appropriate sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares of a Fund, you may be able to add the amount of your purchase to the value, based on the current net asset value per share, of all of your prior purchases of any Nuveen Mutual Fund.

•

Letter of Intent. Subject to certain requirements, you may purchase Class A shares of a Fund at the sales charge rate applicable to the total amount of the purchases you intend to make over a 13-month period.

For purposes of calculating the appropriate sales charge as described under Rights of Accumulation and Letter of Intent above, you may include purchases by (i) you, (ii) your spouse or domestic partner and children under the age of 21 years, and (iii) a corporation, partnership or sole proprietorship that is 100% owned by any of the persons in (i) or (ii). In addition, a trustee or other fiduciary can count all shares purchased for a single trust, estate or other single fiduciary account that has multiple accounts (including one or more employee benefit plans of the same employer).

Class A Sales Charge Waivers

Class A shares of a Fund may be purchased at net asset value without a sales charge as follows:

•

Purchases of $1,000,000 or more ($250,000 or more in the case of Nuveen Limited Term Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund).

•

Monies representing reinvestment of Nuveen Defined Portfolio and Nuveen Mutual Fund distributions.

•

Employees of Nuveen Investments and its affiliates. Purchases by full-time and retired employees of Nuveen Investments and its affiliates and such employees’ immediate family members (as defined in the statement of additional information).

•

Current and former trustees/directors of the Nuveen Funds.

•

Financial intermediary personnel. Purchases by any person who, for at least the last 90 days, has been an officer, director, or employee of any financial intermediary or any such person’s immediate family member.

•

Certain trust departments. Purchases by bank or broker-affiliated trust departments investing funds over which they exercise exclusive discretionary investment authority and that are held in a fiduciary, agency, advisory, custodial or similar capacity.

•

Additional categories of investors. Purchases made (i) by investors purchasing on a periodic fee, asset-based fee or no transaction fee basis through a broker-dealer sponsored mutual fund purchase program; (ii) by clients of investment advisers, financial planners or other financial intermediaries that charge periodic or asset-based fees for their services; and (iii) through a financial intermediary that has entered into an agreement with the Distributor to offer the Funds’ shares to self-directed investment brokerage accounts and that may or may not charge a transaction fee to its customers.

Section 3 How You Can Buy and Sell Shares

In order to obtain a sales charge reduction or waiver, it may be necessary at the time of purchase for you to inform the Funds or your financial advisor of the existence of other accounts in which there are holdings eligible to be aggregated for such purposes. You may need to provide the Funds or your financial advisor information or records, such as account statements, in order to verify your eligibility for a sales charge reduction or waiver. This may include account statements of family members and information regarding Nuveen Mutual Fund shares held in accounts with other financial advisors. You or your financial advisor must notify the Distributor at the time of each purchase if you are eligible for any of these programs. The Funds may modify or discontinue these programs at any time.

LOGO

Fund shares may be purchased on any business day, which is any day the New York Stock Exchange (the “ NYSE ”) is open for business. Generally, the NYSE is closed on weekends and national holidays. The share price you pay depends on when the Distributor receives your order and on the share class you are purchasing. Orders received before the close of trading on a business day (normally, 4:00 p.m. New York time) will receive that day’s closing share price; otherwise, you will receive the next business day’s price.

You may purchase Fund shares (1) through a financial advisor or (2) directly from the Funds.

Through a Financial Advisor

You may buy shares through your financial advisor, who can handle all the details for you, including opening a new account. Financial advisors can also help you review your financial needs and formulate long-term investment goals and objectives. In addition, financial advisors generally can help you develop a customized financial plan, select investments and monitor and review your portfolio on an ongoing basis to help assure your investments continue to meet your needs as circumstances change. Financial advisors (including brokers or agents) are paid for providing ongoing investment advice and services, either from Fund sales charges and fees or by charging you a separate fee in lieu of a sales charge.

Financial advisors or other dealer firms may charge their customers a processing or service fee in connection with the purchase or redemption of Fund shares. The amount and applicability of such a fee is determined and disclosed to customers by each individual dealer. Processing or service fees typically are fixed, nominal dollar amounts and are in addition to the sales and other charges described in this prospectus and the statement of additional information. Your dealer will provide you with specific information about any processing or service fees you will be charged. Shares you purchase through your financial advisor or other intermediary will normally be held with that firm. For more information, please contact your financial advisor.

Directly from the Fund s

Eligible investors may purchase shares directly from the Funds.

•

By wire. You can purchase shares by making a wire transfer from your bank. Before making an initial investment by wire, you must submit a new account form to a Fund. After receiving your form, a service representative will contact you with your account number and wiring

Section 3 How You Can Buy and Sell Shares

instructions. Your order will be priced at the next closing share price based on the share class of your Fund, calculated after your Fund’s custodian receives your payment by wire. Wired funds must be received prior to 4:00 p.m. New York time to be eligible for same day pricing. Neither your Fund nor the transfer agent is responsible for the consequences of delays resulting from the banking or Federal Reserve wire system, or from incomplete wiring instructions. Before making any additional purchases by wire, you should call Nuveen Investor Services at (800) 257-8787. You cannot purchase shares by wire on days when federally chartered banks are closed.

•

By mail. You may open an account directly with the Funds and buy shares by completing an application and mailing it along with your check to: Nuveen Investor Services, P.O. Box 8530, Boston, Massachusetts 02266-8530. Applications may be obtained at www.nuveen.com or by calling (800) 257-8787. No third party checks will be accepted.

The Funds do not consider the U.S. Postal Service or other independent delivery services to be their agents. Therefore, deposit in the mail or with such services, or receipt at the post office box above, of purchase orders or redemption requests does not constitute receipt by the transfer agent of the Funds.

•

On-line . Existing shareholders with direct accounts may process certain account transactions on-line. You may purchase additional shares or exchange shares between existing, identically registered direct accounts. You can also look up your account balance, history and dividend information, as well as order duplicate account statements and tax forms from the Funds’ website. To access your account, click the “Individual Investors” link on www.nuveen.com and then choose “Account Access” under the “Resources” tab. The system will walk you through the log-in process.

To help make your investing with us easy and efficient, we offer you the following services at no extra cost. Your financial advisor can help you complete the forms for these services, or you can call Nuveen Investor Services at (800) 257-8787 for copies of the necessary forms.

Systematic Investing

Once you have opened an account satisfying the applicable investment minimum, systematic investing allows you to make regular additional investments through automatic deductions from your bank account, directly from your paycheck or from exchanging shares from another mutual fund account. The minimum automatic deduction is $100 per month. There is no charge to participate in your Fund’s systematic investment plan. You can stop the deductions at any time by notifying your Fund in writing.

Section 3 How You Can Buy and Sell Shares

•

From your bank account. You can make systematic investments of $100 or more per month by authorizing your Fund to draw pre-authorized checks on your bank account.

•

From your paycheck. With your employer’s consent, you can make systematic investments each pay period (collectively meeting the monthly minimum of $100) by authorizing your employer to deduct monies from your paycheck.

•

Systematic exchanging. You can make systematic investments by authorizing the Distributor to exchange shares from one Nuveen Mutual Fund account into another identically registered Nuveen Mutual Fund account of the same share class.

Systematic Withdrawal

If the value of your Fund account is at least $10,000, you may request to have $50 or more withdrawn automatically from your account. You may elect to receive payments monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually, and may choose to receive a check, have the monies transferred directly into your bank account (see “Fund Direct” below), paid to a third party or sent payable to you at an address other than your address of record. You must complete the appropriate section of the account application or Account Update Form to participate in each Fund’s systematic withdrawal plan.

You should not establish systematic withdrawals if you intend to make concurrent purchases of Class A or Class C shares because you may unnecessarily pay a sales charge or CDSC on these purchases.

Exchanging Shares

You may exchange Fund shares into an identically registered account for the same class of another Nuveen Mutual Fund available in your state. Your exchange must meet the minimum purchase requirements of the fund into which you are exchanging. You may also, under certain limited circumstances, exchange between certain classes of shares of the same fund, subject to the payment of any applicable CDSC. Please consult the statement of additional information for details.

Each Fund reserves the right to revise or suspend the exchange privilege, limit the amount or number of exchanges, or reject any exchange. Shareholders will be provided with at least 60 days’ notice of any material revision to or termination of the exchange privilege.

Because an exchange between funds is treated for tax purposes as a purchase and sale, any gain may be subject to tax. An exchange between classes of shares of the same fund may not be considered a taxable event. You should consult your tax advisor about the tax consequences of exchanging your shares.

Fund Direct ^{^SM}

The Fund Direct Program allows you to link your Fund account to your bank account, transfer money electronically between these accounts and perform a variety of account transactions, including purchasing shares by telephone and investing through a systematic investment plan. You may also have dividends, distributions, redemption payments or systematic withdrawal plan payments sent directly to your bank account.

Reinstatement Privilege

If you redeem Fund shares, you may reinvest all or part of your redemption proceeds up to one year later without incurring any additional charges. You

Section 3 How You Can Buy and Sell Shares

may only reinvest into the same share class you redeemed. If you paid a CDSC, your Fund will refund your CDSC and reinstate your holding period for purposes of calculating the CDSC. You may use this reinstatement privilege only once for any redemption. The reinstatement privilege is not available for Class B shares.

LOGO

You may sell (redeem) your shares on any business day. You will receive the share price next determined after your Fund has received your properly completed redemption request. Your redemption request must be received before the close of trading on the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. New York time) for you to receive that day’s price. The Fund will normally mail your check the next business day after a redemption request is received, but in no event more than seven days after your request is received. If you are selling shares purchased recently with a check, your redemption proceeds will not be mailed until your check has cleared, which may take up to ten business days from your purchase date.

You may sell your shares (1) through a financial advisor or (2) directly to the Funds.

Through a Financial Advisor

You may sell your shares through your financial advisor, who can prepare the necessary documentation. Your financial advisor may charge for this service.

Directly to the Funds

•

By mail. You can sell your shares at any time by sending a written request to the appropriate Fund, c/o Nuveen Investor Services, P.O. Box 8530, Boston, Massachusetts 02266-8530. Your request must include the following information:

•

The Fund’s name;

•

Your name and account number;

•

The dollar or share amount you wish to redeem;

•

The signature of each owner exactly as it appears on the account;

•

The name of the person to whom you want your redemption proceeds paid (if other than to the shareholder of record);

•

The address where you want your redemption proceeds sent (if other than the address of record);

•

Any certificates you have for the shares; and

•

Any required signature guarantees.

After you have established your account, signatures on a written request must be guaranteed if:

•

You would like redemption proceeds payable or sent to any person, address or bank account other than that on record;

•

You have changed the address on your Fund’s records within the last 30 days;

•

Your redemption request is in excess of $50,000; or

•

You are requesting a change in ownership on your account.

Non-financial transactions, including establishing or modifying certain services such as changing bank information on an account, will require a signature guarantee or signature verification from a Medallion Signature

Section 3 How You Can Buy and Sell Shares

Guarantee Program member or other acceptable form of authentication from a financial institution source. In addition to the situations described above, the Funds reserve the right to require a signature guarantee, or another acceptable form of signature verification, in other instances based on the circumstances of a particular situation.

A signature guarantee assures that a signature is genuine and protects shareholders from unauthorized account transfers. Banks, savings and loan associations, trust companies, credit unions, broker-dealers and member firms of a national securities exchange may guarantee signatures. Call your financial intermediary to determine if it has this capability. A notary public is not an acceptable signature guarantor. Proceeds from a written redemption request will be sent to you by check unless another form of payment is requested.

•

On-line. You may redeem shares or exchange shares between existing, identically registered accounts on-line. To access your account, click the “Individual Investors” link on www.nuveen.com and then choose “Account Access” under the “Resources” tab. The system will walk you through the log-in process. On-line redemptions are not available for shares owned in certificate form and, with respect to redemptions where the proceeds are payable by check, may not exceed $50,000. Checks will only be issued to you as the shareholder of record and mailed to your address of record. If you have established Fund Direct privileges, you may have redemption proceeds transferred electronically to your bank account.

•

By telephone. If your account is held with your Fund and not in your brokerage account, and you have authorized telephone redemption privileges, call (800) 257-8787 to redeem your shares, press 1 for mutual funds and the voice menu will walk you through the process. Telephone redemptions are not available for shares owned in certificate form and, with respect to redemptions where the proceeds are payable by check, may not exceed $50,000. Checks will only be issued to you as the shareholder of record and mailed to your address of record, normally the next business day after the redemption request is received. If you have established Fund Direct privileges, you may have redemption proceeds transferred electronically to your bank account. In this case, the redemption proceeds will be transferred to your bank on the next business day after the redemption request is received. You should contact your bank for further information concerning the timing of the credit of the redemption proceeds in your bank account.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge

If you redeem Class A, Class B or Class C shares that are subject to a CDSC, you may be assessed a CDSC upon redemption. When you redeem Class A, Class B or Class C shares subject to a CDSC, your Fund will first redeem any shares that are not subject to a CDSC, and then redeem the shares you have owned for the longest period of time, unless you ask the Fund to redeem your shares in a different order. No CDSC is imposed on shares you buy through the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The CDSC holding period is calculated on a monthly basis and begins on the first day of the month in which the purchase was made. When you redeem shares subject to a CDSC, the CDSC is calculated on the lower of your purchase price or redemption proceeds, deducted from your redemption proceeds, and paid to the Distributor. The CDSC may be waived under certain special circumstances as described in the statement of additional information.

Section 3 How You Can Buy and Sell Shares

An Important Note About Telephone Transactions

Although Nuveen Investor Services has certain safeguards and procedures to confirm the identity of callers, it will not be liable for losses resulting from following telephone instructions it reasonably believes to be genuine. Also, you should verify your trade confirmations immediately upon receipt.

Accounts with Low Balances

The Funds reserve the right to liquidate or assess a low balance fee on any account held directly with the Funds that has a balance that has fallen below the account balance minimum of $1,000 for any reason, including market fluctuations.

If a Fund elects to exercise the right to assess a low balance fee, then annually the Fund will assess a $15 low balance account fee on certain accounts with balances under the account balance minimum that are accounts established pursuant to the UTMA or UGMA. At the same time, other accounts with balances under the account balance minimum will be liquidated, with proceeds being mailed to the address of record. Prior to the assessment of any low balance fee or liquidation of low balance accounts, affected shareholders will receive a communication notifying them of the pending action, thereby providing time to ensure that balances are at or above the account balance minimum prior to any fee assessment or account liquidation. You will not be assessed a CDSC if your account is liquidated.

Redemptions In-Kind

The Funds generally pay redemption proceeds in cash. However, if a Fund determines that it would be detrimental to its remaining shareholders to make payment of a redemption order wholly in cash, that Fund may pay a portion of your redemption proceeds in securities or other Fund assets. Although it is unlikely that your shares would be redeemed in-kind, you would probably have to pay brokerage costs to sell the securities or other assets distributed to you, as well as taxes on any capital gains from that sale.

Section 3 How You Can Buy and Sell Shares

Section 4 General Information

To help you understand the tax implications of investing in the Funds, this section includes important details about how the Funds make distributions to shareholders. We discuss some other Fund policies as well. Please consult the statement of additional information and your tax advisor for more information about taxes.

LOGO

The Funds declare dividends daily and pay such dividends monthly, usually on the first business day of the month. Your account will begin to accrue dividends on the business day after the day when the monies used to purchase your shares are collected by the transfer agent. Each Fund seeks to pay monthly tax-exempt dividends at a level rate that reflects the past and projected net income of the Fund. To help maintain more stable monthly distributions, the distribution paid by a Fund for any particular monthly period may be more or less than the amount of net income actually earned by the Fund during such period, and any such under- (or over-) distribution of income is reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. This policy is designed to result in the distribution of substantially all of a Fund’s net income over time. The Funds declare and pay any taxable capital gains or other taxable distributions once a year at year end.

Payment and Reinvestment Options

The Funds automatically reinvest your dividends in additional Fund shares unless you request otherwise. You may request to have your dividends paid to you by check, sent via electronic funds transfer through Automated Clearing House network or reinvested in shares of another Nuveen Mutual Fund. For further information, contact your financial advisor or call Nuveen Investor Services at (800) 257-8787. If you request that your distributions be paid by check but those distributions cannot be delivered because of an incorrect mailing address, or if a distribution check remains uncashed for six months, the undelivered or uncashed distributions and all future distributions will be reinvested in Fund shares at the current net asset value.

Taxes and Tax Reporting

Because the Funds invest primarily in municipal bonds, the regular monthly dividends you receive will generally be exempt from regular federal income tax. All or a portion of these dividends, however, may be subject to state and local taxes or to the federal alternative minimum tax.

Generally the Funds do not seek to realize taxable income or capital gains. However, the Funds may realize and distribute taxable income or capital gains from time to time as a result of each Fund’s normal investment activities. The Funds’ distributions of these amounts are taxed as ordinary income or capital gains and are taxable whether received in cash or reinvested in additional shares. Dividends from the Funds’ long-term capital gains are taxable as capital gains, while dividends from short-term capital gains and net investment income are generally taxable as ordinary income. The Funds’ taxable dividends are not expected to qualify for a dividends received deduction if you are a corporate shareholder or for the lower tax rates on qualified dividend income.

Section 4 General Information

Early in each year, you will receive a statement detailing the amount and nature of all dividends and capital gains that you were paid during the prior year. If you hold your investment at the firm where you purchased your Fund shares, you will receive the statement from that firm. If you hold your shares directly with the Fund, the Distributor will send you the statement. The tax status of your dividends is the same whether you reinvest your dividends or elect to receive them in cash.

If you receive social security or railroad retirement benefits, you should consult your tax advisor about how an investment in the Funds may affect the taxation of your benefits.

Each sale or exchange of Fund shares may be a taxable event. When you exchange shares of one Nuveen Mutual Fund for shares of a different Nuveen Mutual Fund, the exchange is treated the same as a sale for tax purposes. A sale may result in capital gain or loss to you. The gain or loss generally will be treated as short-term if you held the shares for 12 months or less and long-term if you held the shares for more than 12 months at the time of disposition.

Please note that if you do not furnish your Fund with your correct Social Security number or employer identification number, you fail to provide certain certifications to your Fund, you fail to certify whether you are a U.S. citizen or a U.S. resident alien, or the Internal Revenue Service notifies the Fund to withhold, federal law requires your Fund to withhold federal income tax from your distributions and redemption proceeds at the applicable withholding rate.

Buying or Selling Shares Close to a Record Date

Buying Fund shares shortly before the record date for a taxable income or capital gain distribution is commonly known as “buying the dividend.” The entire distribution may be taxable to you even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of your purchase price.

Cost Basis Method

For shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012, you may elect a cost basis method to apply to all existing and future accounts you may establish. The cost basis method you select will determine the order in which shares are redeemed and how your cost basis information is calculated and subsequently reported to you and to the Internal Revenue Service. Please consult your tax advisor to determine which cost basis method best suits your specific situation. If you hold your account directly with a Fund, please contact Nuveen Investor Services at (800) 257-8787 for instructions on how to make your election. If you hold your account with a financial intermediary, please contact that financial intermediary for instructions on how to make your election. If you hold your account directly with a Fund and do not elect a cost basis method, your account will default to the average cost basis method. For a definition of “average cost basis method,” please see the glossary. Financial intermediaries choose their own default method.

Section 4 General Information

Taxable Equivalent Yields

The taxable equivalent yield is the current yield you would need to earn on a taxable investment in order to equal a stated federal tax-free yield on a municipal investment. To assist you in comparing municipal investments like the Funds with fully taxable alternative investments, the table below presents the taxable equivalent yields for a range of hypothetical federal tax-free yields and tax rates:


Taxable Equivalents of Tax-Free Yields	To Equal a Tax-Free Yield of:
		2.00	%	3.00	%	4.00	%	5.00	%
Tax Bracket:	A Taxable Investment Would Need to Yield:
25%		2.67	%	4.00	%	5.33	%	6.67	%
28%		2.78	%	4.17	%	5.56	%	6.94	%
33%		2.99	%	4.48	%	5.97	%	7.46	%
35%		3.08	%	4.62	%	6.15	%	7.69	%

The yields and tax rates shown above are hypothetical and do not predict your actual returns or effective tax rate. For more detailed information, see the statement of additional information or consult your tax advisor.

LOGO

The Distributor serves as the selling agent and distributor of the Funds’ shares. In this capacity, the Distributor manages the offering of the Funds’ shares and is responsible for all sales and promotional activities. In order to reimburse the Distributor for its costs in connection with these activities, including compensation paid to financial intermediaries, each Fund has adopted a distribution and service plan under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. See “How You Can Buy and Sell Shares—What Share Classes We Offer” for a description of the distribution and service fees paid under this plan.

Under the plan, the Distributor receives a distribution fee for Class B and Class C shares primarily for providing compensation to financial intermediaries, including the Distributor, in connection with the distribution of shares. The Distributor receives a service fee for Class A, Class B and Class C shares to compensate financial intermediaries, including the Distributor, for providing ongoing account services to shareholders. These services may include establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts, answering shareholder inquiries and providing other personal services to shareholders. These fees also compensate the Distributor for other expenses, including printing and distributing prospectuses to persons other than shareholders, and preparing, printing, and distributing advertising materials, sales literature and reports to shareholders used in connection with the sale of shares. Because these fees are paid out of a Fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges. Long-term holders of Class C shares may pay more in distribution and service fees and CDSCs than the economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charge permitted under the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Conduct Rules.

Other Payments to Financial Intermediaries

In addition to the sales commissions and certain payments from distribution and service fees to financial intermediaries as previously described, the Distributor may from time to time make additional payments, out of its own resources, to certain financial intermediaries that sell shares of Nuveen

Section 4 General Information

Mutual Funds in order to promote the sales and retention of Fund shares by those firms and their customers. The amounts of these payments vary by financial intermediary and, with respect to a given firm, are typically calculated by reference to the amount of the firm’s recent gross sales of Nuveen Mutual Fund shares and/or total assets of Nuveen Mutual Funds held by the firm’s customers. The level of payments that the Distributor is willing to provide to a particular financial intermediary may be affected by, among other factors, the firm’s total assets held in and recent net investments into Nuveen Mutual Funds, the firm’s level of participation in Nuveen Mutual Fund sales and marketing programs, the firm’s compensation program for its registered representatives who sell Fund shares and provide services to Fund shareholders, and the asset class of the Nuveen Mutual Funds for which these payments are provided. For 2011, these payments in the aggregate were approximately 0.070% to 0.073% of the assets in the Nuveen Mutual Funds, although payments to particular financial intermediaries can be significantly higher. The statement of additional information contains additional information about these payments, including the names of the firms to which payments are made. The Distributor may also make payments to financial intermediaries in connection with sales meetings, due diligence meetings, prospecting seminars and other meetings at which the Distributor promotes its products and services.

In connection with the availability of Nuveen Mutual Funds within selected mutual fund no-transaction fee institutional platforms and fee-based wrap programs (together, “Platform Programs” ) at certain financial intermediaries, the Distributor also makes payments out of its own assets to those firms as compensation for certain recordkeeping, shareholder communications and other account administration services provided to Nuveen Mutual Fund shareholders who own their Fund shares in these Platform Programs. These payments are in addition to the service fee and any applicable omnibus sub-accounting fees paid to these firms with respect to these services by the Nuveen Mutual Funds out of Fund assets.

The amounts of payments to a financial intermediary could be significant, and may create an incentive for the intermediary or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the Funds to you. The intermediary may elevate the prominence or profile of the Funds within the intermediary’s organization by, for example, placing the Funds on a list of preferred or recommended funds and/or granting the Distributor and/or its affiliates preferential or enhanced opportunities to promote the Funds in various ways within the intermediary’s organization.

The price you pay for your shares is based on your Fund’s net asset value per share, which is determined as of the close of trading (normally 4:00 p.m. New York time) on each day the NYSE is open for business. Net asset value is calculated for each class of each Fund by taking the value of the class’s total assets, including interest or dividends accrued but not yet collected, less all liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The result, rounded to the nearest cent, is the net asset value per share. All valuations are subject to review by the Funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees or its designee; however, the Board of Directors/Trustees retains oversight responsibility for valuing the Funds’ portfolio securities.

Section 4 General Information

In determining net asset value, portfolio instruments generally are valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or obtained from other sources, such as broker-dealer quotations, all as approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees. Exchange-traded instruments generally are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on an exchange, if available. Independent pricing services typically value non-exchange-traded instruments utilizing a range of market-based inputs and assumptions, including readily available market quotations obtained from broker-dealers making markets in such instruments, cash flows, and transactions for comparable instruments. In pricing certain instruments, the pricing services may consider information about an instrument’s issuer or market activity provided by the Funds’ investment adviser or sub-adviser.

If a price cannot be obtained from a pricing service or other pre-approved source, or if Nuveen Fund Advisors deems such price to be unreliable, a portfolio instrument may be valued by a Fund at its fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors/Trustees or its designee. As a general principle, the fair value of a portfolio instrument is the amount that an owner might reasonably expect to receive upon the instrument’s current sale. A range of factors and analysis may be considered when determining fair value, including relevant market data, interest rates, credit considerations and/or issuer-specific news. A Fund may rely on an independent fair valuation service in making any such fair value determinations. A security that is fair valued may be valued at a price higher or lower than actual market quotations, the last price determined by the pricing service, the last bid or ask price in the market or the value determined by other funds using their own fair valuation procedures.

The Funds are intended for long-term investment and should not be used for excessive trading. Excessive trading in the Funds’ shares can disrupt portfolio management, lead to higher operating costs, and cause other operating inefficiencies for the Funds. However, the Funds are also mindful that shareholders may have valid reasons for periodically purchasing and redeeming Fund shares.

Accordingly, the Funds have adopted a Frequent Trading Policy that seeks to balance the Funds’ need to prevent excessive trading in Fund shares while offering investors the flexibility in managing their financial affairs to make periodic purchases and redemptions of Fund shares.

The Funds’ Frequent Trading Policy generally limits an investor to four “round trip” trades in a 12-month period. A “round trip” is the purchase and subsequent redemption of Fund shares, including by exchange. Each side of a round trip may be comprised of either a single transaction or a series of closely-spaced transactions. The Funds may also suspend the trading privileges of any investor who makes a round trip within a 30-day period if the purchase and redemption are of substantially similar dollar amounts and represent at least 25% of the value of the investor’s account.

The Funds primarily receive share purchase and redemption orders through third-party financial intermediaries, some of whom rely on the use of omnibus accounts. An omnibus account typically includes multiple investors and provides the Funds only with a net purchase or redemption amount on any given day where multiple purchases, redemptions and exchanges of

Section 4 General Information

shares occur in the account. The identity of individual purchasers, redeemers and exchangers whose orders are aggregated in omnibus accounts, and the size of their orders, will generally not be known by the Funds. Despite the Funds’ efforts to detect and prevent frequent trading, the Funds may be unable to identify frequent trading because the netting effect in omnibus accounts often makes it more difficult to identify frequent traders. The Distributor has entered into agreements with financial intermediaries that maintain omnibus accounts with the Funds’ transfer agent. Under the terms of these agreements, the financial intermediaries undertake to cooperate with the Distributor in monitoring purchase, exchange and redemption orders by their customers in order to detect and prevent frequent trading in the Funds through such accounts. Technical limitations in operational systems at such intermediaries or at the Distributor may also limit the Funds’ ability to detect and prevent frequent trading. In addition, the Funds may permit certain financial intermediaries, including broker-dealer and retirement plan administrators, among others, to enforce their own internal policies and procedures concerning frequent trading. Such policies may differ from the Funds’ Frequent Trading Policy and may be approved for use in instances where the Funds reasonably believe that the intermediary’s policies and procedures effectively discourage inappropriate trading activity. Shareholders holding their accounts with such intermediaries may wish to contact the intermediary for information regarding its frequent trading policy. Although the Funds do not knowingly permit frequent trading, they cannot guarantee that they will be able to identify and restrict all frequent trading activity.

The Funds reserve the right in their sole discretion to waive unintentional or minor violations (including transactions below certain dollar thresholds) if they determine that doing so would not harm the interests of Fund shareholders. In addition, certain categories of redemptions may be excluded from the application of the Frequent Trading Policy, as described in more detail in the statement of additional information. These include, among others, redemptions pursuant to systematic withdrawal plans, redemptions in connection with the total disability or death of the investor, involuntary redemptions by operation of law, redemptions in payment of account or plan fees, and certain redemptions by retirement plans, including redemptions in connection with qualifying loans or hardship withdrawals, termination of plan participation, return of excess contributions, and required minimum distributions. The Funds may also modify or suspend the Frequent Trading Policy without notice during periods of market stress or other unusual circumstances.

The Funds reserve the right to impose restrictions on purchases or exchanges that are more restrictive than those stated above if they determine, in their sole discretion, that a transaction or a series of transactions involves market timing or excessive trading that may be detrimental to Fund shareholders. The Funds also reserve the right to reject any purchase order, including exchange purchases, for any reason. For example, a Fund may refuse purchase orders if the Fund would be unable to invest the proceeds from the purchase order in accordance with the Fund’s investment policies and/or objective, or if the Fund would be adversely affected by the size of the transaction, the frequency of trading in the account or various other factors. For more information about the Funds’ Frequent Trading Policy and its enforcement, see “Purchase and Redemption of Fund Shares—Frequent Trading Policy” in the statement of additional information.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Funds, except Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund, are diversified series of the Trust, formerly Nuveen Flagship Municipal Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on July 1, 1996. Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund is a non-diversified series of the Trust. Each series of the Trust represents shares of beneficial interest in a separate portfolio of securities and other assets, with its own objective and policies. Currently, five series of the Trust are authorized and outstanding. Nuveen All-American Municipal Bond Fund was formerly named Nuveen Flagship All-American Municipal Bond Fund and Flagship All-American Tax Exempt Fund, a series of Flagship Tax Exempt Funds Trust. Nuveen Intermediate Duration Municipal Bond Fund was formerly named Nuveen Municipal Bond Fund. Nuveen Limited Term Municipal Bond Fund was formerly named Nuveen Flagship Limited Term Municipal Bond Fund and Flagship Limited Term Tax Exempt Fund, a series of the Flagship Tax Exempt Funds Trust.

Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund is a diversified series of NIF, which was incorporated in the State of Maryland on August 20, 1987 under the name “SECURAL Mutual Funds, Inc.” The Board of Directors and shareholders, at meetings held January 10, 1991, and April 2, 1991, respectively, approved amendments to the Articles of Incorporation providing that the name “SECURAL Mutual Funds, Inc.” be changed to “First American Investment Funds, Inc.” At a meeting held February 27, 2011, the Board of Directors approved the name “First American Investment Funds, Inc.” be changed to “Nuveen Investment Funds, Inc.” NIF is organized as a series fund and currently issues its shares in 32 series. Each series of shares represents a separate investment portfolio with its own investment objective and policies (in essence, a separate mutual fund). Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund was formerly named Nuveen Short Tax Free Fund. Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund is an open-end management investment company.

The Funds’ investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (“ Nuveen Fund Advisors ” or the “ Adviser ”). The Funds’ sub-adviser is Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“ Nuveen Asset Management ” or the “ Sub-Advisor ”).

Certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “ 1940 Act ”), which must be submitted to a vote of the holders of the outstanding voting securities of a series, shall not be deemed to have been effectively acted upon unless approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of each series affected by such matter.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

In addition to the investment objectives and policies set forth in the Prospectuses and under “Investment Policies and Techniques” below, each Fund is subject to the investment restrictions set forth below.

The investment objective and certain fundamental investment policies of each Fund are described in the Prospectus for that Fund. A Fund, as a fundamental policy, may not, without the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Fund’s outstanding shares:

(1) Invest in securities other than Municipal Obligations and short-term securities, and for Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund only, U.S. government securities, as described in the Prospectus, except each Fund may invest up to 5% of its net assets in tax-exempt or taxable fixed-income or equity securities for the purpose of acquiring control of an issuer whose municipal bonds (a) the Fund already owns and (b) have deteriorated or are expected shortly to deteriorate significantly in credit quality, provided Nuveen Asset Management, each Fund’s sub-adviser, determines such investment should enable the Fund to better maximize its existing investment in such issuer. Municipal Obligations are municipal bonds that pay interest that is exempt from regular federal income taxes.

(2) Invest more than 5% of its total assets in securities of any one issuer, except this limitation shall not apply to securities of the U.S. Government and to the investment of 25% of such Fund’s assets. This limitation shall not apply to Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund.

S-3

(3) Borrow money, except as permitted by the 1940 Act and exemptive orders granted thereunder.

(4) Pledge, mortgage or hypothecate its assets, except that, to secure borrowings permitted by subparagraph (3) above, it may pledge securities having a market value at the time of pledge not exceeding 10% of the value of the Fund’s total assets.

(5) Issue senior securities as defined in the 1940 Act, except to the extent such issuance might be involved with respect to borrowings described under subparagraph (3) above or with respect to transactions involving futures contracts or the writing of options within the limits described in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information.

(6) Underwrite any issue of securities, except to the extent that the purchase or sale of Municipal Obligations in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations may be deemed to be an underwriting.

(7) Purchase or sell real estate, but this shall not prevent any Fund from investing in Municipal Obligations secured by real estate or interests therein or foreclosing upon and selling such security.

(8) Purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts or oil, gas or other mineral exploration or development programs, except for transactions involving futures contracts within the limits described in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information.

(9) Make loans, except as permitted by the 1940 Act and exemptive orders granted thereunder.

(10) Make short sales of securities or purchase any securities on margin, except for such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions.

(11) Write or purchase put or call options, except to the extent that the purchase of a stand-by commitment may be considered the purchase of a put, and except for transactions involving options within the limits described in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information.

(12) Invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities of issuers in any one industry; provided, however, that such limitations shall not be applicable to Municipal Obligations issued by governments or political subdivisions of governments, and obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities.

(13) Purchase or retain the securities of any issuer other than the securities of the Fund if, to the Fund’s knowledge, those trustees of the Trust, or those officers and directors of the Adviser, who individually own beneficially more than 1/2 of 1% of the outstanding securities of such issuer, together own beneficially more than 5% of such outstanding securities (this subparagraph (13) does not apply to Nuveen High Yield Municipal Bond Fund).

For the purpose of applying the limitations set forth in paragraphs (2) and (12) above, an issuer shall be deemed the sole issuer of a security when its assets and revenues are separate from other governmental entities and its securities are backed only by its assets and revenues. Similarly, in the case of a non-governmental user, such as an industrial corporation or a privately owned or operated hospital, if the security is backed only by the assets and revenues of the non-governmental user, then such non-governmental user would be deemed to be the sole issuer. Where a security is also backed by the enforceable obligation of a superior or unrelated governmental entity or other entity (other than a bond insurer), it shall also be included in the computation of securities owned that are issued by such governmental or other entity.

For purposes of applying the limitation set forth in numbers 3 and 5 above, under the 1940 Act as currently in effect, a Fund is not permitted to issue senior securities, except that a Fund may borrow from any bank if immediately after such borrowing the value of the Fund’s total assets is at least 300% of the principal amount of all of the Fund’s borrowings (i.e., the principal amount of the borrowings may not exceed 33 ¹ / ₃ % of the Fund’s total assets). In the event that such asset coverage shall at any time fall below 300% the Fund shall, within three days thereafter (not including Sundays and holidays) reduce the amount of its borrowings to an extent that the asset coverage of such borrowing shall be at least 300%.

S-4

For purposes of applying the limitation set forth in number 9 above, there are no limitations with respect to unsecured loans made by a Fund to an unaffiliated party. However, when a Fund loans its portfolio securities, the obligation on the part of the Fund to return collateral upon termination of the loan could be deemed to involve the issuance of a senior security within the meaning of Section 18(f) of the 1940 Act. In order to avoid violation of Section 18(f), the Fund may not make a loan of portfolio securities if, as a result, more than one-third of its total asset value (at market value computed at the time of making a loan) would be on loan.

Where a security is guaranteed by a governmental entity or some other facility, such as a bank guarantee or letter of credit, such a guarantee or letter of credit would be considered a separate security and would be treated as an issue of such government, other entity or bank.

Except with respect to paragraph (3) above, the foregoing restrictions and limitations, as well as a Fund’s policies as to ratings of portfolio investments, will apply only at the time of purchase of securities, and the percentage limitations will not be considered violated unless an excess or deficiency occurs or exists immediately after and as a result of an acquisition of securities, unless otherwise indicated.

The foregoing fundamental investment policies, together with the investment objective of each of the Funds, cannot be changed without approval by holders of a “majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting shares.” As defined in the 1940 Act, this means the vote of (i) 67% or more of the Fund’s shares present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the Fund’s shares are present or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the Fund’s shares, whichever is less.

In addition to the foregoing fundamental investment policies, each Fund is also subject to the following non-fundamental restrictions and policies, which may be changed by the Board of Trustees. A Fund may not:

(1) Invest more than 15% of its net assets in “illiquid” securities, including repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days. The term “illiquid securities” will have the same meaning as it does under the 1940 Act.

(2) Invest more than 15% of its net assets in inverse floating rate securities. This limitation shall not apply to Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund.

(3) Purchase securities when borrowings exceed 5% of its total assets. If due to market fluctuations or other reasons, the value of the Fund’s assets falls below 300% of its borrowings, the Fund will reduce its borrowings within 3 business days.

(4) With respect to Nuveen All-American Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen High Yield Municipal Bond Fund, acquire any securities of registered open-end investment companies or registered unit investment trusts in reliance on subparagraph (F) or subparagraph (G) of Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act.

Under normal market conditions, the Funds invest at least 80% of their net assets in municipal bonds that pay interest that is exempt from regular federal personal income tax. A policy has been adopted by each Fund to provide shareholders with at least 60 days’ notice in the event of a planned change to this investment strategy. Such notice to shareholders will meet the requirements of Rule 35d-1(c) of the 1940 Act.

Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund

The investment restrictions set forth in paragraphs 1 through 8 below are fundamental and cannot be changed with respect to the Fund without approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund as defined in the 1940 Act, i.e., by the lesser of the vote of (a) 67% of the shares of the Fund present at a meeting where more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present in person or by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

The Fund will not:

1. Concentrate its investments in a particular industry, except that any Fund with one or more industry concentrations implied by its name shall, in normal market conditions, concentrate in securities of issues within that industry or industries. For purposes of this limitation, the U.S.

Government, and state or municipal governments and their political subdivisions are not considered members of any industry. Whether the Fund is concentrating in an industry shall be determined in accordance with the 1940 Act, as interpreted or modified from time to time by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction.

2. Borrow money or issue senior securities, except as permitted under the 1940 Act, as interpreted or modified from time to time by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction.

3. With respect to 75% of its total assets, purchase securities of an issuer (other than (i) securities issued by other investment companies, (ii) securities issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies, instrumentalities or authorities, or (iii) repurchase agreements fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities) if (a) such purchase would, at the time, cause more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets taken at market value to be invested in the securities of such issuer; or (b) such purchase would, at the time, result in more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer being held by the Fund.

4. Invest in companies for the purpose of control or management.

5. Purchase physical commodities or contracts relating to physical commodities.

6. Purchase or sell real estate unless as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments, but this shall not prevent the Fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or interests therein or in securities of companies that deal in real estate or mortgages.

7. Act as an underwriter of securities of other issuers, except to the extent that, in connection with the disposition of portfolio securities, it may be deemed an underwriter under applicable laws.

8. Make loans except as permitted under the 1940 Act, as interpreted or modified from time to time by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction.

For purposes of applying the limitation set forth in number 1 above, according to the current interpretation by the SEC, the Fund would be concentrated in an industry if 25% or more of its total assets, based on current market value at the time of purchase, were invested in that industry. The Fund will use industry classifications provided by Bloomberg, Barclays, or other similar sources to determine its compliance with this limitation.

For purposes of applying the limitation set forth in number 2 above, under the 1940 Act as currently in effect, the Fund is not permitted to issue senior securities, except that the Fund may borrow from any bank if immediately after such borrowing the value of the Fund's total assets is at least 300% of the principal amount of all of the Fund's borrowings (i.e., the principal amount of the borrowings may not exceed 33 1/3% of the Fund's total assets). In the event that such asset coverage shall at any time fall below 300%, the Fund shall, within three days thereafter (not including Sundays and holidays), reduce the amount of its borrowings to an extent that the asset coverage of such borrowing shall be at least 300%.

For purposes of applying the limitation set forth in number 8 above, there are no limitations with respect to unsecured loans made by the Fund to an unaffiliated party.

Because the Fund refers to tax-free investments in its name, it has a fundamental investment policy that it will normally invest at least 80% of its assets in investments that pay interest exempt from federal income tax, including the federal alternative minimum tax.

The following restrictions are non-fundamental and may be changed by NIF’s Board of Directors without a shareholder vote:

The Fund will not:

1. Invest more than 15% of its net assets in all forms of illiquid investments.

2. Borrow money in an amount exceeding 10% of the borrowing Fund’s total assets and pledge up to 15% of its total assets to secure such borrowings. The Fund will not borrow money for leverage purposes. For the purpose of this investment restriction, the use of options and

S-6

futures transactions and the purchase of securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis shall not be deemed the borrowing of money. The Fund will not make additional investments while its borrowings exceed 5% of total assets.

3. Make short sales of securities.

4. Lend portfolio securities representing in excess of one-third of the value of its total assets.

5. Pledge any assets, except in connection with any permitted borrowing and then in amounts not in excess of one-third of the Fund’s total assets, provided that for the purposes of this restriction, margin deposits, security interests, liens and collateral arrangements with respect to options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and other permitted investments and techniques are not deemed to be a pledge of assets for purposes of this limitation.

6. Acquire any securities of registered open-end investment companies or registered unit investment trusts in reliance on subparagraph (F) or subparagraph (G) of Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act.

With respect to the non-fundamental restriction set forth in number 1 above, the Fund will monitor portfolio liquidity on an ongoing basis and, in the event more than 15% of the Fund’s net assets are invested in illiquid investments, the Fund will reduce its holdings of illiquid securities in an orderly fashion in order to maintain adequate liquidity.

The Board of Directors has adopted guidelines and procedures under which the Fund’s investment adviser is to determine whether the following types of securities which may be held by the Fund are “liquid” and to report to the Board concerning its determinations: (i) securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) commercial paper issued in reliance on the “private placement” exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, whether or not it is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A; (iii) interest-only and principal-only, inverse floating and inverse interest-only securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities; and (iv) municipal leases and securities that represent interests in municipal leases.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal securities that pay interest that is exempt from federal income tax, including the federal alternative minimum tax. A policy has been adopted by the Fund to provide shareholders with at least 60 days’ notice in the event of a planned change to this investment strategy. Such notice to shareholders will meet the requirements of Rule 35d-1(c) of the 1940 Act.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND TECHNIQUES

The following information supplements the discussion of the Funds’ investment objectives, principal investment strategies, policies and techniques that appears in the Prospectuses for the Funds. Additional information concerning principal investment strategies of the Funds, and other investment strategies that may be used by the Funds, is set forth below. The Funds have attempted to identify investment strategies that will be employed in pursuing each Fund’s investment objective. Additional information concerning the Funds’ investment restrictions is set forth above under “Investment Restrictions.”

If a percentage limitation on investments by a Fund stated in this SAI or its Prospectus is adhered to at the time of an investment, a later increase or decrease in percentage resulting from changes in asset value will not be deemed to violate the limitation except in the case of the limitations on borrowing. A Fund, which is limited to investing in securities with specified ratings or of a certain credit quality, is not required to sell a security if its rating is reduced or its credit quality declines after purchase, but may consider doing so. Descriptions of the rating categories of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“ Standard & Poor’s ”), Fitch, Inc. (“ Fitch ”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“ Moody’s ”) are contained in Appendix A.

References in this section to the Adviser also apply, to the extent applicable, to the sub-adviser of the Funds.

S-7

Asset Coverage Requirements

To the extent required by Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”) guidelines, a Fund will only engage in transactions that expose it to an obligation to another party if it owns either (a) an offsetting position for the same type of financial asset, or (b) cash or liquid securities, designated on the Fund’s books or held in a segregated account, with a value sufficient at all times to cover its potential obligations not covered as provided in (a). Examples of transactions governed by these asset coverage requirements include, for example, options written by the Funds, futures contracts and options on futures contracts, swaps and when-issued and delayed delivery transactions. Assets used as offsetting positions, designated on a Fund’s books, or held in a segregated account cannot be sold while the positions requiring cover are open unless replaced with other appropriate assets. As a result, the commitment of a large portion of assets to be used as offsetting positions or to be designated or segregated in such a manner could impede portfolio management or the ability to meet redemption requests or other current obligations.

Derivatives

Each Fund may use derivative instruments, as described below. Generally, a derivative is a financial contract the value of which depends upon, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivatives generally take the form of contracts under which the parties agree to payments between them based upon the performance of a wide variety of underlying references, such as stocks, bonds, loans, commodities, interest rates, currency exchange rates, and various domestic and foreign indices. Derivative instruments that some or all of the Funds may use include options contracts, futures contracts, options on futures contracts and swap transactions, all of which are described in more detail below.

The Funds may use derivatives for a variety of reasons, including as a substitute for investing directly in securities and currencies, as an alternative to selling a security short, as part of a hedging strategy (that is, for the purpose of reducing risk to a Fund), to manage the effective duration of a Fund’s portfolio, or for other purposes related to the management of the Funds. Derivatives permit a Fund to increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the character of the risk, to which its portfolio is exposed in much the same way as the Fund can increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the character of the risk, of its portfolio by making investments in specific securities. However, derivatives may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest. As a result, a small investment in derivatives could have a large impact on a Fund’s performance.

No Fund will make any hedging investment (whether an initial premium or deposit or a subsequent deposit) other than as necessary to close a prior investment if, immediately after such investment, the sum of the amount of its premiums and deposits, with respect to all currently effective hedging investments, would exceed 5% of such series’ net assets. Each Fund will invest in these instruments only in markets believed by Nuveen Asset Management to be active and sufficiently liquid.

Derivatives can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risk, depending upon the characteristics of the particular derivative and the portfolio as a whole. If a Fund invests in derivatives at inopportune times or judges market conditions incorrectly, such investments may lower the Fund’s return or result in a loss. A Fund also could experience losses or limit its gains if the performance of its derivatives is poorly correlated with the underlying instruments or the Fund’s other investments, or if the Fund is unable to liquidate its position because of an illiquid secondary market. The market for derivatives is, or suddenly can become, illiquid. Changes in liquidity may result in significant, rapid and unpredictable changes in the prices for derivatives.

While transactions in some derivatives may be effected on established exchanges, many other derivatives are privately negotiated and entered into in the over-the-counter market with a single counterparty. When exchange-traded derivatives are purchased and sold, a clearing agency associated with the exchange stands between each buyer and seller and effectively guarantees performance of each contract, either on a limited basis through a guaranty fund or to the full extent of the clearing agency’s balance sheet. Transactions in over-the-counter derivatives have no such protection. Each party to an over-the-counter derivative bears the risk that its direct counterparty will default. In addition, over-the-counter derivatives may be less liquid than exchange-traded derivatives since the other party to the transaction may be the only investor with sufficient understanding of the derivative to be interested in bidding for it.

S-8

Derivatives generally involve leverage in the sense that the investment exposure created by the derivative is significantly greater than the Fund’s initial investment in the derivative. As discussed above under “—Asset Coverage Requirements,” a Fund may be required to segregate permissible liquid assets, or engage in other permitted measures, to “cover” the Fund’s obligations relating to its transactions in derivatives. For example, in the case of futures contracts that are not contractually required to cash settle, a Fund must set aside liquid assets equal to such contracts’ full notional value (generally, the total numerical value of the asset underlying a future contract at the time of valuation) while the positions are open. With respect to futures contracts that are contractually required to cash settle, however, a Fund is permitted to set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the Fund’s daily mark-to-market net obligation (i.e., the Fund’s daily net liability) under the contracts, if any, rather than such contracts’ full notional value. By setting aside assets equal to only its net obligations under cash-settled futures contracts, the Fund may employ leverage to a greater extent than if the Fund were required to segregate assets equal to the full notional value of such contracts.

Derivatives also may involve other types of leverage. For example, an instrument linked to the value of a securities index may return income calculated as a multiple of the price movement of the underlying index. This leverage will increase the volatility of these derivatives since they may increase or decrease in value more quickly than the underlying instruments.

The particular derivative instruments the Funds can use are described below. A Fund’s portfolio manager may decide not to employ some or all of these instruments, and there is no assurance that any derivatives strategy used by a Fund will succeed. The Funds may employ new derivative instruments and strategies when they are developed, if those investment methods are consistent with the particular Fund’s investment objective and are permissible under applicable regulations governing the Fund.

Futures and Options on Futures

The Funds may engage in futures transactions as a principal investment strategy. The Funds may buy and sell futures contracts that relate to: (1) interest rates, (2) debt securities, and (3) bond indices. The Funds also may buy and write options on the futures contracts in which they may invest ( “futures options” ) and may write straddles, which consist of a call and a put option on the same futures contract. The Funds will only write options and straddles which are “covered.” This means that, when writing a call option, a Fund must either segregate liquid assets with a value equal to the fluctuating market value of the optioned futures contract, or the Fund must own an option to purchase the same futures contract having an exercise price that is (i) equal to or less than the exercise price of the call written, or (ii) greater than the exercise price of the call written, provided the difference is maintained by the Fund in segregated liquid assets. When writing a put option, a Fund must segregate liquid assets in an amount not less than the exercise price, or own a put option on the same futures contract where the exercise price of the put held is (i) equal to or greater than the exercise price of the put written, or (ii) less than the exercise price of the put written, provided the difference is maintained by the Fund in segregated liquid assets. A straddle will be covered when sufficient assets are deposited to meet the Fund’s immediate obligations. A Fund may use the same liquid assets to cover both the call and put options in a straddle where the exercise price of the call and put are the same, or the exercise price of the call is higher than that of the put. In such cases, the Fund will also segregate liquid assets equivalent to the amount, if any, by which the put is “in the money.” The Funds may only enter into futures contracts and futures options which are standardized and traded on a U.S. or foreign exchange, board of trade or similar entity, or quoted on an automated quotation system.

A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a security, index, interest rate, currency or commodity (each a “financial instrument” ) for a set price on a future date. Certain futures contracts, such as futures contracts relating to individual securities, call for making or taking delivery of the underlying financial instrument. However, these contracts generally are closed out before delivery by entering into an offsetting purchase or sale of a matching futures contract (same exchange, underlying financial instrument, and delivery month). Other futures contracts, such as futures contracts on interest rates and indices, do not call for making or taking delivery of the underlying financial instrument, but rather are agreements pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to the difference between the value of the financial

S-9

instrument at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the contract was originally written. These contracts also may be settled by entering into an offsetting futures contract.

Unlike when a Fund purchases or sells a security, no price is paid or received by a Fund upon the purchase or sale of a futures contract. Initially, a Fund will be required to deposit with the futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant ( “FCM” ), an amount of cash or securities equal to a varying specified percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as initial margin. The margin deposit is intended to ensure completion of the contract. Minimum initial margin requirements are established by the futures exchanges and may be revised. In addition, FCMs may establish margin deposit requirements that are higher than the exchange minimums. Cash held in the margin account generally is not income producing. However, coupon-bearing securities, such as Treasury securities, held in margin accounts generally will earn income. Subsequent payments to and from the FCM, called variation margin, will be made on a daily basis as the price of the underlying financial instrument fluctuates, making the futures contract more or less valuable, a process known as marking the contract to market. Changes in variation margin are recorded by a Fund as unrealized gains or losses. At any time prior to expiration of the futures contract, a Fund may elect to close the position by taking an opposite position that will operate to terminate its position in the futures contract. A final determination of variation margin is then made, additional cash is required to be paid by or released to the Fund, and the Fund realizes a gain or loss. In the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of a Fund, the Fund may be entitled to the return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received by the FCM’s other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund. Futures transactions also involve brokerage costs and the Fund may have to segregate additional liquid assets in accordance with applicable SEC requirements. See “—Asset Coverage Requirements” above.

A futures option gives the purchaser of such option the right, in return for the premium paid, to assume a long position (call) or short position (put) in a futures contract at a specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option. Upon exercise of a call option, the purchaser acquires a long position in the futures contract and the writer is assigned the opposite short position. Upon the exercise of a put option, the opposite is true. Futures options possess many of the same characteristics as options on securities, currencies and indices (discussed below under “—Options Transactions”).

Limitations on the Use of Futures and Futures Options. The Registrants have filed a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” with the National Futures Association, the Futures industry’s self-regulatory organization. A Fund will not enter into Futures and options transactions if the sum of the initial margin deposits and premiums paid for unexpired options exceeds 5% of the Fund’s total assets. In addition, a Fund will not enter into Futures Contracts and options transactions if more than 30% of its net assets would be committed to such instruments.

On February 9, 2012, the CFTC adopted amendments to its rules that, once effective, may affect the ability of the Registrants, on behalf of the Funds, to continue to claim this exclusion. A Fund that seeks to claim the exclusion after the effectiveness of the amended rules would be limited in its ability to use futures and options on futures or commodities or engage in swap transactions. If a Fund were no longer able to claim the exclusion, the Adviser would be required to register as a “commodity pool operator,” and such Fund and the Adviser would be subject to regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act.

Risks Associated with Futures and Futures Options. There are risks associated with the use of futures contracts and futures options. A purchase or sale of a futures contract may result in a loss in excess of the amount invested in the futures contract.

If futures are used for hedging purposes, there can be no guarantee that there will be a correlation between price movements in the futures contract and in the underlying financial instruments that are being hedged. This could result from differences between the financial instruments being hedged and the financial instruments underlying the standard contracts available for trading (e.g., differences in interest rate levels, maturities and the creditworthiness of issuers). In addition, price movements of futures contracts may not correlate perfectly with price movements of the financial instruments underlying the futures contracts due to certain market distortions.

S-10

Successful use of futures by the Funds also is subject to the Adviser’s ability to predict correctly movements in the direction of the relevant market. For example, if a Fund uses futures to hedge against the possibility of a decline in the market value of securities held in its portfolio and the prices of such securities increase instead, the Fund will lose part or all of the benefit of the increased value of the securities which it has hedged because it will have offsetting losses in its futures positions. Furthermore, if in such circumstances the Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities to meet daily variation margin requirements. The Fund may have to sell such securities at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so.

There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist at a time when a Fund seeks to close out a futures or a futures option position, and the Fund would remain obligated to meet margin requirements until the position is closed. Futures exchanges may limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in certain futures contract prices during a single trading day. The daily limit establishes the maximum amount that the price of a futures contract may vary either up or down from the previous day’s settlement price at the end of the current trading session. Once the daily limit has been reached in a futures contract subject to the limit, no more trades may be made on that day at a price beyond that limit. The daily limit governs only price movements during a particular trading day and therefore does not limit potential losses because the limit may work to prevent the liquidation of unfavorable positions. For example, futures prices have occasionally moved to the daily limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of positions and subjecting some holders of futures contracts to substantial losses.

Options Transactions

To the extent set forth below, the Funds may purchase put and call options on interest rates and bond indices. Options on futures contracts are discussed above under “—Futures and Options on Futures.”

Options on Interest Rates and Indices. The Funds may purchase put and call options on interest rates and on bond indices. An option on interest rates or on an index gives the holder the right to receive, upon exercise of the option, an amount of cash if the closing value of the underlying interest rate or index is greater than, in the case of a call, or less than, in the case of a put, the exercise price of the option. This amount of cash is equal to the difference between the exercise-settlement value of the interest rate option or the closing price of the index and the exercise price of the option expressed in dollars times a specified multiple (the “multiplier”). The writer of the option is obligated, for the premium received, to make delivery of this amount. Settlements for interest rate and index options are always in cash.

Expiration or Exercise of Options. If an option written by a Fund expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a capital gain equal to the premium received at the time the option was written. If an option purchased by a Fund expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a capital loss equal to the premium paid. Prior to the earlier of exercise or expiration, an exchange traded option may be closed out by an offsetting purchase or sale of an option of the same series (type, exchange, underlying security, currency or index, exercise price, and expiration). There can be no assurance, however, that a closing purchase or sale transaction can be effected when the Fund desires.

A Fund may sell put or call options it has previously purchased, which could result in a net gain or loss depending on whether the amount realized on the sale is more or less than the premium and other transaction costs paid on the put or call option which is sold. Prior to exercise or expiration, an option may be closed out by an offsetting purchase or sale of an option of the same series. A Fund will realize a capital gain from a closing purchase transaction if the cost of the closing option is less than the premium received from writing the option, or, if it is more, the Fund will realize a capital loss. If the premium received from a closing sale transaction is more than the premium paid to purchase the option, the Fund will realize a capital gain or, if it is less, the Fund will realize a capital loss. The principal factors affecting the market value of a put or a call option include supply and demand, interest rates, the current market price of the underlying security, currency or index in relation to the exercise price of the option, the volatility of the underlying security, currency or index, and the time remaining until the expiration date.

S-11

Risks Associated with Options Transactions. There are several risks associated with options transactions. For example, there are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets, causing a given transaction not to achieve its objectives. A decision as to whether, when and how to use options involves the exercise of skill and judgment, and even a well-conceived transaction may be unsuccessful to some degree because of market behavior or unexpected events.

When a Fund purchases a put or call option, it risks a total loss of the premium paid for the option, plus any transaction costs, if the price of the underlying security does not increase or decrease sufficiently to justify the exercise of such option. Also, where a put or call option on a particular security is purchased to hedge against price movements in a related security, the price of the put or call option may move more or less than the price of the related security.

There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when a Fund seeks to close out an option position. If a Fund were unable to close out an option that it had purchased on a security, it would have to exercise the option in order to realize any profit or the option may expire worthless. There is also a risk that, if restrictions on exercise were imposed, a Fund might be unable to exercise an option it had purchased.

Interest Rate Caps, Floors and Collars

The Funds may enter into interest rate caps, floors and collars. The purchase of an interest rate floor entitles the purchaser, to the extent that a specified index falls below a predetermined interest rate, to receive payments of interest on a notional principal amount from the party selling such interest rate floor. The purchase of an interest rate cap entitles the purchaser, to the extent that a specified index rises above a predetermined interest rate, to receive payments of interest on a notional principal amount from the party selling such interest rate cap. Interest rate collars involve selling a cap and purchasing a floor or vice versa to protect a Fund against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.

Risks Associated with Interest Rate Caps, Floors and Collars Transactions. The use of interest rate caps, floors and collars transactions is a highly specialized activity which involves strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. If the sub-adviser is incorrect in its forecasts of default risks, market spreads or other applicable factors the investment performance of a Fund would diminish compared with what it would have been if these techniques were not used. A Fund may only close out a cap, floor or collar with its particular counterparty, and may only transfer a position with the consent of that counterparty. In addition, the price at which a Fund may close out such a two party contract may not correlate with the price change in the underlying reference asset. If the counterparty defaults, a Fund will have contractual remedies, but there can be no assurance that the counterparty will be able to meet its contractual obligations or that the Fund will succeed in enforcing its rights. It also is possible that developments in the derivatives market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect a Fund’s ability to terminate existing agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements.

Swap Agreements

The Funds, other than Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund, may invest in swap agreements. Swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks to several years. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or swapped between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount (the amount or value of the underlying asset used in computing the particular interest rate, return, or other amount to be exchanged) in a particular foreign currency, or in a basket of securities representing a particular index. Swap agreements may include (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate or cap; (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified level or floor; and (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor, or vice versa, in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels or collar amounts.

S-12

The Funds may enter into interest rate, credit default, securities index, commodity, or security and currency exchange rate swap agreements for any purpose consistent with each Fund’s investment objective, such as for the purpose of attempting to obtain, enhance, or preserve a particular desired return or spread at a lower cost to the Fund than if the Fund had invested directly in an instrument that yielded that desired return or spread. The Funds also may enter into swaps in order to protect against an increase in the price of, or the currency exchange rate applicable to, securities that the Funds anticipate purchasing at a later date.

Whether the Funds’ use of swap agreements will be successful in furthering their investment objectives will depend, in part, on the ability to predict correctly whether certain types of investments are likely to produce greater returns than other investments and the changes in the future values, indices, or rates covered by the swap agreement. Swap agreements may be considered to be illiquid. Moreover, the Funds bear the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. The Funds will enter swap agreements only with counterparties that Nuveen Asset Management reasonably believes are capable of performing under the swap agreements. If there is a default by the other party to such a transaction, the Funds will have to rely on their contractual remedies (which may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws) pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction. Certain restrictions imposed on the Funds by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 may limit the Funds’ ability to use swap agreements. The swap market is largely unregulated.

Illiquid Securities

Each Fund may invest in illiquid securities ( i.e. , securities that are not readily marketable). For purposes of this restriction, illiquid securities include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities the disposition of which is restricted under the federal securities laws), securities that may only be resold pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), but that are deemed to be illiquid; and repurchase agreements with maturities in excess of seven days. However, no Fund will acquire illiquid securities if, as a result, such securities would comprise more than 15% of the value of the Fund’s net assets. The Board of Trustees or its delegate has the ultimate authority to determine, to the extent permissible under the federal securities laws, which securities are liquid or illiquid for purposes of this 15% limitation. The Board of Trustees has delegated to the Adviser the day-to-day determination of the illiquidity of any portfolio security, although it has retained oversight over and ultimate responsibility for such determinations. The Adviser works with and to a large extent relies on the expertise and advice of Nuveen Asset Management in making those liquidity determinations. Although no definitive liquidity criteria are used, the Board of Trustees has directed Nuveen Asset Management to look to such factors as (i) the nature of the market for a security (including the institutional private resale market; the frequency of trades and quotes for the security; the number of dealers willing to purchase or sell the security; and the amount of time normally needed to dispose of the security, the method of soliciting offers and the mechanics of transfer), (ii) the terms of certain securities or other instruments allowing for the disposition to a third party or the issuer thereof (e.g., certain repurchase obligations and demand instruments), and (iii) other permissible relevant facts.

Restricted securities may be sold only in privately negotiated transactions or in a public offering with respect to which a registration statement is in effect under the Securities Act. Where registration is required, a Fund may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expenses and a considerable period may elapse between the time of the decision to sell and the time the Fund may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the Fund might obtain a less favorable price than that which prevailed when it decided to sell. Illiquid securities will be priced at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or its delegate. If, through the appreciation of illiquid securities or the depreciation of liquid securities, a Fund should be in a position where more than 15% of the value of its net assets are invested in illiquid securities, including restricted securities which are not readily marketable, the Fund will take such steps as is deemed advisable, if any, to protect liquidity.

S-13

Inflation-Linked Debt Securities

Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund invests in inflation-linked debt securities, which include fixed and floating rate debt securities of varying maturities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, such as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”), as well as securities issued by other entities such as corporations, municipalities, foreign governments and foreign issuers, including foreign issuers from emerging markets. Typically, such securities are structured as fixed income investments whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. The following two structures are common: (i) the U.S. Treasury and some other issuers issue inflation-linked securities that accrue inflation into the principal value of the security and (ii) other issuers may pay out the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers Non-Seasonally Adjusted (“CPI-UNSA”) accruals as part of a semi-annual coupon. Other types of inflation-linked securities exist which use an inflation index other than the CPI-UNSA.

Inflation-linked securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, such as TIPS, have maturities of five, ten, twenty and thirty years, although it is possible that securities with other maturities will be issued in the future. Typically, TIPS pay interest on a semi-annual basis equal to a fixed percentage of the inflation-adjusted principal amount. For example, if the Fund purchased an inflation-indexed bond with a par value of $1,000 and a 3% real rate of return coupon (payable 1.5% semi-annually), and the rate of inflation over the first six months was 1%, the mid-year par value of the bond would be $1,010 and the first semi-annual interest payment would be $15.15 ($1,010 times 1.5%). If inflation during the second half of the year resulted in the whole year’s inflation of 3%, the end-of-year par value of the bond would be $1,030 and the second semi-annual interest payment would be $15.45 ($1,030 times 1.5%). If the periodic adjustment rate measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of TIPS, even during a period of deflation, although the inflation-adjusted principal received could be less than the inflation-adjusted principal that had accrued to the bond at the time of purchase. However, the current market value of the bonds is not guaranteed and will fluctuate. Other inflation-related bonds exist that may or may not provide a similar guarantee. If a guarantee of principal is not provided, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.

The value of inflation-linked securities is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates in turn are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. Therefore, if the rate of inflation rises at a faster rate than nominal interest rates, real interest rates might decline, leading to an increase in value of inflation-linked securities. While inflation-linked securities are expected to be protected from long-term inflationary trends, short-term increases in inflation may lead to a decline in value. If interest rates rise due to reasons other than inflation (for example, due to changes in currency exchange rates), investors in these securities may not be protected to the extent that the increase is not reflected in the bond’s inflation measure.

The periodic adjustment of U.S. inflation-linked securities is tied to the CPI-UNSA, which is not seasonably adjusted and which is calculated monthly by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The CPI-UNSA is a measurement of changes in the cost of living, made up of components such as housing, food, transportation and energy. Inflation-linked securities issued by a foreign government are generally adjusted to reflect a comparable inflation index calculated by that government. There can be no assurance that the CPI-UNSA or a foreign inflation index will accurately measure the real rate of inflation in the prices of goods and services. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the rate of inflation in a foreign country will be correlated to the rate of inflation in the U.S.

Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-linked security will be considered taxable ordinary income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.

Making of Loans to Issuers of Bonds Already in the Portfolio

A Fund, other than Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund, may make a loan to (as opposed to investing in a bond issued by) an entity whose bonds that Fund already owns in its portfolio, in instances where Nuveen Asset Management believes that doing so will enhance the value of the Fund’s total investments (both bonds and loans) in obligations of that entity. Typically, such loans will

S-14

be made to entities suffering severe economic distress, oftentimes in or near bankruptcy. Making a loan to such an entity may enable the entity to remain a “going concern” and enable the entity to both repay the loan as well as be better able to pay interest and principal on the pre-existing bonds, instead of forcing the Fund to liquidate the entity’s assets, which can reduce recovery value. It is generally much more time-consuming and expensive for a troubled entity to issue additional bonds, instead of borrowing, as a means of obtaining liquidity in times of severe financial need.

Municipal Bonds and Other Municipal Obligations

The Funds invest principally in municipal bonds and other municipal obligations. These bonds and other obligations are issued by the states and by their local and special-purpose political subdivisions. The term “municipal bond” includes short-term municipal notes issued by the states and their political subdivisions, including, but not limited to, tax anticipation notes (“ TANs ”), bond anticipation notes (“ BANs ”), revenue anticipation notes ( “RANs” ), construction loan notes, tax free commercial paper, and tax free participation certificates. In general, municipal obligations include debt obligations issued by states, cities and local authorities to obtain funds for various public purposes, including construction of a wide range of public facilities such as airports, bridges, highways, hospitals, housing, mass transportation, schools, streets and water and sewer works. Industrial development bonds and pollution control bonds that are issued by or on behalf of public authorities to finance various privately-rated facilities are included within the term municipal obligations if the interest paid thereon is exempt from federal income tax.

Obligations of issuers of municipal obligations are subject to the provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors. In addition, the obligations of such issuers may become subject to the laws enacted in the future by Congress, state legislatures or referenda extending the time for payment of principal and/or interest, or imposing other constraints upon enforcement of such obligations or upon municipalities to levy taxes. There is also the possibility that, as a result of legislation or other conditions, the power or ability of any issuer to pay, when due, the principal of and interest on its municipal obligations may be materially affected.

Municipal Bonds

The two general classifications of municipal bonds are “general obligation” bonds and “revenue” bonds. General obligation bonds are secured by the governmental issuer’s pledge of its faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest upon a default by the issuer of its principal and interest payment obligations. They are usually paid from general revenues of the issuing governmental entity. Revenue bonds, on the other hand, are usually payable only out of a specific revenue source rather than from general revenues. Revenue bonds ordinarily are not backed by the faith, credit or general taxing power of the issuing governmental entity. The principal and interest on revenue bonds for private facilities are typically paid out of rents or other specified payments made to the issuing governmental entity by a private company which uses or operates the facilities. Examples of these types of obligations are industrial revenue bond and pollution control revenue bonds. Industrial revenue bonds are issued by governmental entities to provide financing aid to community facilities such as hospitals, hotels, business or residential complexes, convention halls and sport complexes. Pollution control revenue bonds are issued to finance air, water and solids pollution control systems for privately operated industrial or commercial facilities.

Revenue bonds for private facilities usually do not represent a pledge of the credit, general revenues or taxing powers of issuing governmental entity. Instead, the private company operating the facility is the sole source of payment of the obligation. Sometimes, the funds for payment of revenue bonds come solely from revenue generated by operation of the facility. Revenue bonds which are not backed by the credit of the issuing governmental entity frequently provide a higher rate of return than other municipal obligations, but they entail greater risk than obligations which are guaranteed by a governmental unit with taxing power. Federal income tax laws place substantial limitations on industrial revenue bonds, and particularly certain specified private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986. In the future, legislation could be introduced in Congress which could further restrict or eliminate the income tax exemption for interest on debt obligations in which the Funds may invest.

S-15

Refunded Bonds

The Funds may invest in refunded bonds. Refunded bonds may have originally been issued as general obligation or revenue bonds, but become refunded when they are secured by an escrow fund, usually consisting entirely of direct U.S. government obligations and/or U.S. government agency obligations sufficient for paying the bondholders. There are two types of refunded bonds: pre-refunded bonds and escrowed-to-maturity ( “ETM” ) bonds. The escrow fund for a pre-refunded municipal bond may be structured so that the refunded bonds are to be called at the first possible date or a subsequent call date established in the original bond debenture. The call price usually includes a premium from 1% to 3% above par. This type of structure usually is used for those refundings that either reduce the issuer’s interest payment expenses or change the debt maturity schedule. In escrow funds for ETM refunded municipal bonds, the maturity schedules of the securities in the escrow funds match the regular debt-service requirements on the bonds as originally stated in the bond indentures.

Municipal Leases and Certificates of Participation

The Funds also may purchase municipal lease obligations, primarily through certificates of participation. Certificates of participation in municipal leases are undivided interests in a lease, installment purchase contract or conditional sale contract entered into by a state or local governmental unit to acquire equipment or facilities. Municipal leases frequently have special risks which generally are not associated with general obligation bonds or revenue bonds.

Municipal leases and installment purchase or conditional sales contracts (which usually provide for title to the leased asset to pass to the governmental issuer upon payment of all amounts due under the contract) have evolved as a means for governmental issuers to acquire property and equipment without meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements for the issuance of municipal debt. The debt issuance limitations are deemed to be inapplicable because of the inclusion in many leases and contracts of “non-appropriation” clauses that provide that the governmental issuer has no obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract unless money is appropriated for this purpose by the appropriate legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis. Although these kinds of obligations are secured by the leased equipment or facilities, the disposition of the pledged property in the event of non-appropriation or foreclosure might, in some cases, prove difficult and time-consuming. In addition, disposition upon non-appropriation or foreclosure might not result in recovery by a Fund of the full principal amount represented by an obligation.

Derivative Municipal Securities

The Funds may also acquire derivative municipal securities, which are custodial receipts of certificates underwritten by securities dealers or banks that evidence ownership of future interest payments, principal payments or both on certain municipal securities. The underwriter of these certificates or receipts typically purchases municipal securities and deposits them in an irrevocable trust or custodial account with a custodian bank, which then issues receipts or certificates that evidence ownership of the periodic unmatured coupon payments and the final principal payment on the obligation.

The principal and interest payments on the municipal securities underlying custodial receipts may be allocated in a number of ways. For example, payments may be allocated such that certain custodial receipts may have variable or floating interest rates and others may be stripped securities which pay only the principal or interest due on the underlying municipal securities. The Funds may invest in custodial receipts which have inverse floating interest rates and other inverse floating rate municipal obligations, as described below under “—Inverse Floating Rate Municipal Obligations.”

Variable Rate Demand Notes (“VRDNs”)

VRDNs are long-term municipal obligations that have variable or floating interest rates and provide a Fund with the right to tender the security for repurchase at its stated principal amount plus accrued interest. Such securities typically bear interest at a rate that is intended to cause the securities to trade at par. The interest rate may float or be adjusted at regular intervals (ranging from daily to annually), and is normally based on an applicable interest index or another published interest rate or interest rate index. Most VRDNs allow a Fund to demand the repurchase of the security on not more than seven days prior notice. Other notes only permit a Fund to tender the security at the time of

S-16

each interest rate adjustment or at other fixed intervals. Variable interest rates generally reduce changes in the market value of municipal obligations from their original purchase prices. Accordingly, as interest rates decrease, the potential for capital appreciation is less for variable rate municipal obligations than for fixed income obligations.

Inverse Floating Rate Municipal Securities

The Funds, other than Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund, may invest in inverse floating rate municipal securities or “inverse floaters,” whose rates vary inversely to interest rates on a specified short-term municipal bond index or on another instrument. Such securities involve special risks as compared to conventional fixed-rate bonds. Should short-term interest rates rise, a Fund’s investment in inverse floaters likely would adversely affect the Fund’s earnings and distributions to shareholders. Also, because changes in the interest rate on the other index or other instrument inversely affect the rate of interest received on an inverse floater, and because inverse floaters essentially represent a leveraged investment in a long-term bond, the value of an inverse floater is generally more volatile than that of a conventional fixed-rate bond having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity. Although volatile in value, inverse floaters typically offer the potential for yields substantially exceeding the yields available on conventional fixed-rate bonds with comparable credit quality, coupon, call provisions and maturity. The markets for inverse floating rate securities may be less developed and have less liquidity than the markets for conventional securities. The Funds will only invest in inverse floating rate securities whose underlying bonds are rated A or higher.

Non-Investment Grade Debt Securities (Junk Bonds)

Under normal circumstances, at least 65% of Nuveen High Yield Municipal Bond Fund’s net assets will be invested in non-investment grade debt securities. The other Funds may also invest in non-investment grade debt securities, which are medium- to low-quality Municipal Obligations. Municipal Obligations rated below investment grade (BB/Ba or lower) are commonly known as “high-yield,” “high risk” or “junk” bonds. Junk bonds, while generally offering higher yields than investment grade securities with similar maturities, involve greater risks, including the possibility of default or bankruptcy. They are regarded as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. The special risk considerations in connection with investments in these securities are discussed below. Refer to Appendix A of this Statement of Additional Information for a discussion of securities ratings.

(1) Effect of Interest Rates and Economic Changes. All interest-bearing securities typically experience appreciation when interest rates decline and depreciation when interest rates rise. In addition, the market values of junk bond securities tend to reflect individual issuer developments to a greater extent than do the market values of higher rated securities, which react primarily to fluctuations in the general level of interest rates. Junk bond securities also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than are higher rated securities. As a result, they generally involve more credit risk than securities in the higher rated categories. During an economic downturn or a sustained period of rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers of junk bond securities may experience financial stress and may not have sufficient revenues to meet their payment obligations. The risk of loss due to default by an issuer of these securities is significantly greater than by an issuer of higher rated securities because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors. Further, if the issuer of a junk bond security defaults, the Fund may incur additional expenses to seek recovery. Periods of economic uncertainty and changes would also generally result in increased volatility in the market prices of these and thus in the Fund’s net asset value.

The value of a junk bond security will generally decrease in a rising interest rate market and, accordingly, so will the Fund’s net asset value. If the Fund experiences unexpected net redemptions in such a market, it may be forced to liquidate a portion of its portfolio securities without regard to their investment merits. Due to the limited liquidity of junk bond securities, the Fund may be forced to liquidate these securities at a substantial discount. Any such liquidation would reduce the Fund’s asset base over which expenses could be allocated and could result in a reduced rate of return for the Fund.

S-17

(2) Payment Expectations. Junk bond securities typically contain redemption, call, or prepayment provisions that permit the issuer of securities containing such provisions to redeem the securities at its discretion. During periods of falling interest rates, issuers of these securities are likely to redeem or prepay the securities and refinance them with debt securities with a lower interest rate. To the extent an issuer is able to refinance the securities, or otherwise redeem them, the Fund may have to replace the securities with lower yielding securities, which could result in a lower return for the Fund.

(3) Credit Ratings. Credit ratings are issued by credit rating agencies and are indicative of the rated securities’ safety of principal and interest payments. They do not, however, evaluate the market value risk of junk bond securities and, therefore, may not fully reflect the true risks of such an investment. In addition, credit rating agencies may not make timely changes in a rating to reflect changes in the economy or in the condition of the issuer that affect the value of the security. Consequently, credit ratings are used only as a preliminary indicator of investment quality. Investments in junk bonds will depend more upon credit analysis by Nuveen Asset Management than investments in investment grade debt securities. Nuveen Asset Management employs its own credit research and analysis, which includes a study of the issuer’s existing debt, capital structure, ability to service debts and pay dividends, sensitivity to economic conditions, operating history, and current earnings trend. Nuveen Asset Management continually monitors the Funds’ investments and carefully evaluates whether to dispose of or to retain junk bond securities whose credit ratings or credit quality may have changed.

(4) Liquidity and Valuation. A Fund may have difficulty disposing of certain junk bond securities, as may the other Funds to the extent they invest in junk bonds, because there may be a thin trading market for such securities. Not all dealers maintain markets in all junk bond securities. As a result, there is no established retail secondary market for many of these securities. The Funds anticipate that such securities could be sold only to a limited number of dealers or institutional investors. To the extent a secondary trading market does exist, it is generally not as liquid as the secondary market for higher rated securities. The lack of a liquid secondary market may have an adverse impact on the market price of the security. The lack of a liquid secondary market for certain securities may also make it more difficult for a Fund to obtain accurate market quotations for purposes of valuing its securities. Market quotations are generally available on many junk bond issues only from a limited number of dealers and may not necessarily represent firm bids of such dealers or prices for actual sales. During periods of thin trading, the spread between bid and asked prices is likely to increase significantly. In addition, adverse publicity and investor perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, may decrease the value and liquidity of junk bond securities, especially in a thinly traded market.

Nuveen High Yield Municipal Bond Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in defaulted municipal obligations. Municipal obligations in the lowest rating categories may be in default and are generally regarded as having poor prospects of attaining any real investment standing. A default or expected default in a municipal obligation owned by the Fund could result in a significant decline in the value of that municipal obligation.

Other Investment Companies

Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund may invest in other investment companies, such as mutual funds, closed-end funds, and exchange-traded funds ( “ETFs” ). Under the 1940 Act, the Fund’s investment in such securities, subject to certain exceptions, currently is limited to 3% of the total voting stock of any one investment company; 5% of the Fund’s total assets with respect to any one investment company; and 10% of the Fund’s total assets in the aggregate. The Fund will only invest in other investment companies that invest in Fund-eligible investments. The Fund’s investments in other investment companies may include money market mutual funds. Investments in money market funds are not subject to the percentage limitations set forth above.

If the Fund invests in other investment companies, Fund shareholders will bear not only their proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses, but also, indirectly, the similar expenses of the underlying investment companies. Shareholders would also be exposed to the risks associated not only to the Fund, but also to the portfolio investments of the underlying investment companies.

S-18

Shares of certain closed-end funds may at times be acquired only at market prices representing premiums to their net asset values. Shares acquired at a premium to their net asset value may be more likely to subsequently decline in price, resulting in a loss to the Fund and its shareholders. The underlying securities in an ETF may not follow the price movements of the industry or sector the ETF is designed to track. Trading in an ETF may be halted if the trading in one or more of the ETF’s underlying securities is halted, which could result in the ETF being more volatile.

Other Investment Policies and Techniques of Nuveen High Yield Municipal Bond Fund

Structured Notes. Nuveen High Yield Municipal Bond Fund may invest in structured notes, including “total rate of return swaps” with rates of return determined by reference to the total rate of return on one or more loans references in such notes. The rate of return on a structured note may be determined by applying a multiplier to the rate of total return on the referenced loan or loans. Application of a multiplier is comparable to the use of leverage which magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss because a relatively small decline in the value of a referenced note could result in a relatively large loss in the value of the structured note.

Mortgage-Backed Securities. Nuveen High Yield Municipal Bond Fund may invest in fixed-income obligations backed by a pool of mortgages. Mortgage-backed securities are issued both by U.S. government agencies, including the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) and by private entities. The payment of interest and principal on securities issued by U.S. government agencies is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government (in the case of GNMA securities) or the issuer (in the case of FNMA and FHLMC securities). However, the guarantees do not apply to the market prices and yields of these securities, which vary with changes in interest rates. Mortgage-backed securities issued by private entities are structured similarly to mortgage-backed securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. These securities and the underlying mortgages are not guaranteed by government agencies. However, these securities generally are structured with one or more types of credit enhancement by a third party. Mortgage-backed securities permit borrowers to prepay their underlying mortgages. Prepayments by borrowers on underlying obligations can alter the effective maturity of these instruments.

Standby Commitments. Nuveen High Yield Municipal Bond Fund may obtain standby commitments when it purchases Municipal Obligations. A standby commitment gives the holder the right to sell the underlying security to the seller at an agreed-upon price on certain dates or within a specified period. The Fund will acquire standby commitments solely to facilitate portfolio liquidity and not with a view to exercising them at a time when the exercise price may exceed the current value of the underlying securities. If the exercise price of a standby commitment held by the Fund should exceed the current value of the underlying securities, the Fund may refrain from exercising the standby commitment in order to avoid causing the issuer of the standby commitment to sustain a loss and thereby jeopardizing the Fund’s business relationship with the issuer. The Fund will enter into standby commitments only with banks and securities dealers that, in the opinion of Nuveen Asset Management, present minimal credit risks. However, if a securities dealer or bank is unable to meet its obligation to repurchase the security when the Fund exercises a standby commitment, the Fund might be unable to recover all or a portion of any loss sustained from having to sell the security elsewhere. Standby commitments will be valued at zero in determining the Fund’s net asset value.

Payment-In-Kind Debentures and Delayed Interest Securities

The Funds, as a non-principal investment strategy, may invest in debentures the interest on which may be paid in other securities rather than cash ( “PIKs” ) or may be delayed ( “delayed interest securities” ). Typically, during a specified term prior to the debenture’s maturity, the issuer of a PIK may provide for the option or the obligation to make interest payments in debentures, common stock or other instruments (i.e., “in kind” rather than in cash). The type of instrument in which interest may or will be paid would be known by a Fund at the time of investment. While PIKs generate income for purposes of generally accepted accounting standards, they do not generate cash flow and thus could cause a Fund to be forced to liquidate securities at an inopportune time in order to distribute cash, as required by the Internal Revenue Code (the “ Code ”).

S-19

Unlike PIKs, delayed interest securities do not pay interest for a specified period. Because values of securities of this type are subject to greater fluctuations than are the values of securities that distribute income regularly, they may be more speculative than such securities.

Short-Term Investments

Each Prospectus discusses briefly the ability of the Funds to invest a portion of their assets in federally tax-exempt or taxable short-term securities or shares of money market funds (“short-term investments”). Short-term investments will not exceed 20% of a Fund’s assets except when made for defensive purposes. The Funds will invest only in taxable short-term investments that are either U.S. government securities or are rated within the highest grade by Moody’s, S&P, or Fitch and mature within one year from the date of purchase or carry a variable or floating rate of interest. See Appendix A for more information about ratings by Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch.

The Funds may invest in the following federally tax-exempt short-term investments:

Bond Anticipation Notes (BANs) are usually general obligations of state and local governmental issuers, which are sold to obtain interim financing for projects that will eventually be funded through the sale of long-term debt obligations or bonds. The ability of an issuer to meet its obligations on its BANs is primarily dependent on the issuer’s access to the long-term municipal bond market and the likelihood that the proceeds of such bond sales will be used to pay the principal and interest on the BANs.

Tax Anticipation Notes (TANs) are issued by state and local governments to finance the current operations of such governments. Repayment is generally to be derived from specific future tax revenues. Tax anticipation notes are usually general obligations of the issuer. A weakness in an issuer’s capacity to raise taxes due to, among other things, a decline in its tax base or a rise in delinquencies, could adversely affect the issuer’s ability to meet its obligations on outstanding TANs.

Revenue Anticipation Notes (RANs) are issued by governments or governmental bodies with the expectation that future revenues from a designated source will be used to repay the notes. In general, they also constitute general obligations of the issuer. A decline in the receipt of projected revenues, such as anticipated revenues from another level of government, could adversely affect an issuer’s ability to meet its obligations on outstanding RANs. In addition, the possibility that the revenues would, when received, be used to meet other obligations could affect the ability of the issuer to pay the principal and interest on RANs.

Construction Loan Notes are issued to provide construction financing for specific projects. Frequently, these notes are redeemed with funds obtained from the Federal Housing Administration.

Bank Notes are notes issued by local government bodies and agencies as those described above to commercial banks as evidence of borrowings. The purposes for which the notes are issued are varied, but they are frequently issued to meet short-term working capital or capital- project needs. These notes may have risks similar to the risks associated with TANs and RANs.

Tax-Exempt Commercial Paper (Municipal Paper) represents very short-term unsecured, negotiable promissory notes, issued by states, municipalities and their agencies. Payment of principal and interest on issues of municipal paper may be made from various sources, to the extent the funds are available therefrom. Maturities of municipal paper generally will be shorter than the maturities of TANs, BANs or RANs. There is a limited secondary market for issues of municipal paper.

Certain Municipal Obligations may carry variable or floating rates of interest whereby the rate of interest is not fixed, but varies with changes in specified market rates or indices, such as a bank prime rate or a tax-exempt money market index.

S-20

While these various types of notes as a group represent the major portion of the tax-exempt note market, other types of notes are occasionally available in the marketplace and each Fund may invest in such other types of notes to the extent permitted under its investment objective, policies and limitations. Such notes may be issued for different purposes and may be secured differently from those mentioned above.

Municipal Money Market Funds that pay interest income exempt from regular federal and, in some cases, state and local income taxes. The Funds will bear their proportionate share of the money market fund’s fees and expenses.

The Funds may also invest in the following taxable short-term investments:

Certificates of Deposit (CDs) —A certificate of deposit is a negotiable interest bearing instrument with a specific maturity. CDs are issued by banks in exchange for the deposit of funds and normally can be traded in the secondary market, prior to maturity. The Funds will only invest in U.S. dollar denominated CDs issued by U.S. banks with assets of $1 billion or more.

Commercial Paper —Commercial paper is the term used to designate unsecured short-term promissory notes issued by corporations. Maturities on these issues vary from a few days to nine months. Commercial paper may be purchased from U.S. corporations.

Taxable Money Market Funds —These funds pay interest income that is taxable on the federal and state levels. The Funds will bear their proportionate share of the money market fund’s fees and expenses.

U.S. Government Direct Obligations are issued by the United States Treasury and include bills, notes and bonds.

—Treasury

bills are issued with maturities of up to one year. They are issued in bearer form, are sold on a discount basis and are payable at par value at maturity.

—Treasury

notes are longer-term interest bearing obligations with original maturities of one to seven years.

—Treasury

bonds are longer-term interest-bearing obligations with original maturities from five to thirty years.

U.S. Government Agencies Securities —Certain federal agencies have been established as instrumentalities of the U.S. government to supervise and finance certain types of activities. These agencies include, but are not limited to, the Bank for Cooperatives, Federal Land Banks, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal National Mortgage Association, Government National Mortgage Association, Export-Import Bank of the United States, and Tennessee Valley Authority. Issues of these agencies, while not direct obligations of the U.S. government, are either backed by the full faith and credit of the United States or are guaranteed by the Treasury or supported by the issuing agencies’ right to borrow from the Treasury. There can be no assurance that the U.S. government itself will pay interest and principal on securities as to which it is not legally so obligated.

Each Fund reserves the right for liquidity or defensive purposes (such as thinness in the market for municipal securities or an expected substantial decline in value of long-term obligations), to invest temporarily up to 20% of its assets in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and its agencies or instrumentalities. Interest on each instrument is taxable for federal income tax purposes and would reduce the amount of tax-free interest payable to shareholders.

Other Corporate Obligations —The Funds may purchase notes, bonds and debentures issued by corporations if at the time of purchase there is less than one year remaining until maturity or if they carry a variable or floating rate of interest.

Repurchase Agreements —A repurchase agreement is a contractual agreement whereby the seller of securities (U.S. government or Municipal Obligations) agrees to repurchase the same security at a specified price on a future date agreed upon by the parties. The agreed upon repurchase price determines the yield during a Fund’s holding period. Repurchase agreements

S-21

are considered to be loans collateralized by the underlying security that is the subject of the repurchase contract. The Funds will only enter into repurchase agreements with dealers, domestic banks or recognized financial institutions that in the opinion of Nuveen Asset Management present minimal credit risk. The risk to the Funds is limited to the ability of the issuer to pay the agreed-upon repurchase price on the delivery date; however, although the value of the underlying collateral at the time the transaction is entered into always equals or exceeds the agreed-upon repurchase price, if the value of the collateral subsequently declines there is a risk of loss of both principal and interest. In the event of default, the collateral may be sold but a Fund might incur a loss if the value of the collateral declines, and might incur disposition costs or experience delays in connection with liquidating the collateral. In addition, if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization upon the collateral by a Fund may be delayed or limited. Nuveen Asset Management will monitor the value of collateral at the time the transaction is entered into and at all times subsequent during the term of the repurchase agreement in an effort to determine that the value always equals or exceeds the agreed upon price. In the event the value of the collateral declined below the repurchase price, Nuveen Asset Management will demand additional collateral from the issuer to increase the value of the collateral to at least that of the repurchase price. Each of the Funds will not invest more than 10% of its assets in repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days.

Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund

Repurchase Agreements. Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund may invest in repurchase agreements. Ordinarily, the Fund does not expect its investment in repurchase agreements to exceed 10% of its total assets. However, because the Fund may invest without limit in cash and short-term securities for temporary defensive purposes, there is no limit on the Fund’s ability to invest in repurchase agreements. A repurchase agreement involves the purchase by the Fund of securities with the agreement that after a stated period of time, the original seller will buy back the same securities (“collateral”) at a predetermined price or yield. Repurchase agreements involve certain risks not associated with direct investments in securities. If the original seller defaults on its obligation to repurchase as a result of its bankruptcy or otherwise, the purchasing Fund will seek to sell the collateral, which could involve costs or delays. Although collateral (which may consist of any fixed income security which is an eligible investment for the Fund entering into the repurchase agreement) will at all times be maintained in an amount equal to the repurchase price under the agreement (including accrued interest), the Fund would suffer a loss if the proceeds from the sale of the collateral were less than the agreed-upon repurchase price. The Adviser will monitor the creditworthiness of the firms with which the Fund enters into repurchase agreements.

The Fund’s custodian will hold the securities underlying any repurchase agreement, or the securities will be part of the Federal Reserve/Treasury Book Entry System. The market value of the collateral underlying the repurchase agreement will be determined on each business day. If at any time the market value of the collateral falls below the repurchase price under the repurchase agreement (including any accrued interest), the Fund will promptly receive additional collateral (so the total collateral is an amount at least equal to the repurchase price plus accrued interest).

Short-Term Temporary Investments. In an attempt to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions, Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund may temporarily invest without limit in a variety of short-term instruments such as commercial paper and variable amount master demand notes; U.S. dollar-denominated time and savings deposits (including certificates of deposit); bankers’ acceptances; obligations of the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities; repurchase agreements collateralized by eligible investments of the Fund; securities of other mutual funds that invest primarily in debt obligations with remaining maturities of 13 months or less (which investments also are subject to an advisory fee); and other similar high-quality short-term U.S. dollar-denominated obligations.

Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund may also invest in Eurodollar certificates of deposit issued by foreign branches of U.S. or foreign banks; Eurodollar time deposits, which are U.S. dollar-denominated deposits in foreign branches of U.S. or foreign banks; and Yankee certificates of deposit,

which are U.S. dollar-denominated certificates of deposit issued by U.S. branches of foreign banks and held in the United States. In each instance, the Fund may only invest in bank instruments issued by an institution which has capital, surplus and undivided profits of more than $100 million or the deposits of which are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund or the Savings Association Insurance Fund.

A brief description of certain kinds of short-term instruments follows:

Commercial Paper . Commercial paper consists of unsecured promissory notes issued by corporations. Issues of commercial paper normally have maturities of less than nine months and fixed rates of return. Subject to the limitations described in the Prospectus, the Funds may purchase commercial paper consisting of issues rated at the time of purchase within the two highest rating categories by Standard & Poor’s, Fitch or Moody’s, or which have been assigned an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Funds also may invest in commercial paper that is not rated but that is determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality to instruments that are so rated. For a description of the rating categories of Standard & Poor’s, Fitch and Moody’s, see Appendix A.

Bankers’ Acceptances. Bankers’ acceptances are credit instruments evidencing the obligation of a bank to pay a draft drawn on it by a customer. These instruments reflect the obligation both of the bank and of the drawer to pay the full amount of the instrument upon maturity.

Variable Amount Master Demand Notes. Variable amount master demand notes are unsecured demand notes that permit the indebtedness thereunder to vary and provide for periodic adjustments in the interest rate according to the terms of the instrument. Because master demand notes are direct lending arrangements between the Fund and the issuer, they are not normally traded. Although there is no secondary market in the notes, the Fund may demand payment of principal and accrued interest at any time. While the notes are not typically rated by credit rating agencies, issuers of variable amount master demand notes (which are normally manufacturing, retail, financial, and other business concerns) must satisfy the same criteria as set forth above for commercial paper. The Adviser will consider the earning power, cash flow and other liquidity ratios of the issuers of such notes and will continuously monitor their financial status and ability to meet payment on demand.

Variable Rate Demand Obligations . Variable rate demand obligations (“VRDOs”) are securities in which the interest rate is adjusted at pre-designated periodic intervals. VRDOs may include a demand feature which is a put that entitles the holder to receive the principal amount of the underlying security or securities and which may be exercised either at any time on no more than 30 days’ notice or at specified intervals not exceeding 397 calendar days on no more than 30 days’ notice.

Temporary Taxable Investments. Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund may make temporary taxable investments. Temporary taxable investments will include only the following types of obligations maturing within 13 months from the date of purchase: (i) obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities (including zero coupon securities); (ii) commercial paper rated not less than A-1 by Standard & Poor’s, F1 by Fitch or P-1 by Moody’s or which has been assigned an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization; (iii) other short-term debt securities issued or guaranteed by corporations having outstanding debt rated not less than BBB- by Standard & Poor’s or Fitch or Baa3 by Moody’s or which have been assigned an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization; (iv) certificates of deposit of domestic commercial banks subject to regulation by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, with assets of $500 million or more based on the most recent published reports; and (v) repurchase agreements with domestic banks or securities dealers involving any of the securities which the Fund is permitted to hold.

S-23

U.S. Government Securities. Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund may invest in U.S. government securities. The U.S. government securities in which the Fund may invest are either issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities. The U.S. government securities in which the Fund invests principally are:

•

direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, such as U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and bonds;

•

notes, bonds, and discount notes issued and guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities supported by the full faith and credit of the United States;

•

notes, bonds, and discount notes of U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities which receive or have access to federal funding;

•

notes, bonds, and discount notes of other U.S. government instrumentalities supported only by the credit of the instrumentalities; and

•

obligations that are issued by private issuers and guaranteed under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program.

U.S. Treasury obligations include separately traded interest and principal component parts of such obligations, known as Separately Traded Registered Interest and Principal Securities (“STRIPS”) , which are transferable through the Federal book-entry system. STRIPS are sold as zero coupon securities, which means that they are sold at a substantial discount and redeemed at face value at their maturity date without interim cash payments of interest or principal. This discount is accreted over the life of the security, and such accretion will constitute the income earned on the security for both accounting and tax purposes. Because of these features, such securities may be subject to greater interest rate volatility than interest paying U.S. Treasury obligations.

The government securities in which the Fund may invest are backed in a variety of ways by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities. Some of these securities, such as Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) mortgage-backed securities, are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Other securities, such as obligations of the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) are backed by the credit of the agency or instrumentality issuing the obligations but not the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. No assurances can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support to these other agencies or instrumentalities because it is not obligated to do so.

Variable, Floating, and Fixed Rate Debt Obligations

The debt obligations in which the Funds invest as either a principal or non-principal investment strategy may have variable, floating, or fixed interest rates. Variable rate securities provide for periodic adjustments in the interest rate. Floating rate securities are generally offered at an initial interest rate which is at or above prevailing market rates. The interest rate paid on floating rate securities is then reset periodically (commonly every 90 days) to an increment over some predetermined interest rate index. Commonly utilized indices include the three-month Treasury bill rate, the 180-day Treasury bill rate, the one-month or three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), the prime rate of a bank, the commercial paper rates, or the longer-term rates on U.S. Treasury securities. Variable and floating rate securities are relatively long-term instruments that often carry demand features permitting the holder to demand payment of principal at any time or at specified intervals prior to maturity. In order to most effectively use these securities, the Adviser must correctly assess probable movements in interest rates. If the Adviser incorrectly forecasts such movements, a Fund could be adversely affected by use of variable and floating rate securities.

Fixed rate securities pay a fixed rate of interest and tend to exhibit more price volatility during times of rising or falling interest rates than securities with variable or floating rates of interest. The value of fixed rate securities will tend to fall when interest rates rise and rise when interest rates fall. The value of variable or floating rate securities, on the other hand, fluctuates much less in response to market interest rate movements than the value of fixed rate securities. This is because variable and floating rate securities behave like short-term instruments in that the rate of interest they pay is subject to periodic adjustments according to a specified formula, usually with reference to some interest rate index or market interest rate. Fixed rate securities with short-term characteristics are not subject to the same price volatility as fixed rate securities without such characteristics. Therefore, they behave more like variable or floating rate securities with respect to price volatility.

S-24

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

Each Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. When such a transaction is negotiated, the purchase price is fixed at the time the purchase commitment is entered, but delivery of and payment for the securities take place at a later date. A Fund will not accrue income with respect to securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis prior to their stated delivery date.

The purchase of securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis exposes a Fund to risk because the securities may decrease in value prior to delivery. In addition, a Fund’s purchase of securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis while remaining substantially fully invested could increase the amount of the Fund’s total assets that are subject to market risk, resulting in increased sensitivity of net asset value to changes in market prices. A seller’s failure to deliver securities to a Fund could prevent the Fund from realizing a price or yield considered to be advantageous.

When a Fund agrees to purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, the Fund will segregate cash or liquid securities in an amount sufficient to meet the Fund’s purchase commitments. It may be expected that a Fund’s net assets will fluctuate to a greater degree when it sets aside securities to cover such purchase commitments than when it sets aside cash. In addition, because a Fund will set aside cash or liquid securities to satisfy its purchase commitments, its liquidity and the ability of the Adviser to manage it might be affected in the event its commitments to purchase when-issued or delayed delivery securities ever became significant. Under normal market conditions, however, Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund’s commitments to purchase when-issued or delayed delivery securities will not exceed 25% of the value of its total assets. The Funds will only make commitments to purchase municipal obligations on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis with the intention of actually acquiring the securities, but the Funds reserve the right to sell these securities before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable.

Each Fund also may buy when-issued and delayed-delivery securities that settle more than 60 days after purchase. These transactions are called “forwards.” Municipal forwards pay higher interest after settlement than standard bonds, to compensate the buyer for bearing market risk and deferring income during the settlement period, and can often be bought at attractive prices and yields. If a Fund knows that a portfolio bond will, or is likely to, be called or mature on a specific future date, the Fund may buy forwards settling on or about that date to replace the called or maturing bond and “lock in” a currently attractive interest rate. Nuveen High Yield Municipal Bond Fund also may invest up to 15% of its assets in forwards that do not serve to replace a specific portfolio bond.

Zero Coupon and Step Coupon Securities

The Funds may invest in zero coupon and step coupon securities as a principal investment strategy. Zero coupon securities pay no cash income to their holders until they mature. When held to maturity, their entire return comes from the difference between their purchase price and their maturity value. Step coupon securities are debt securities that may not pay interest for a specified period of time and then, after the initial period, may pay interest at a series of different rates. Both zero coupon and step coupon securities are issued at substantial discounts from their value at maturity. Because interest on these securities is not paid on a current basis, the values of securities of this type are subject to greater fluctuations than are the value of securities that distribute income regularly and may be more speculative than such securities. Accordingly, the values of these securities may be highly volatile as interest rates rise or fall. In addition, while such securities generate income for purposes of generally accepted accounting standards, they do not generate cash flow and thus could cause a Fund to be forced to liquidate securities at an inopportune time in order to distribute cash, as required by the Code.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

The Board oversees the operations and management of the Nuveen Funds, including the duties performed for the Nuveen Funds by the Adviser. The Board has adopted a unitary board structure. A unitary board consists of one group of directors who serve on the board of every fund in the complex. In adopting a unitary board structure, the trustees seek to provide effective governance through establishing a board, the overall composition of which will, as a body, possess the appropriate skills, independence and experience to oversee the Nuveen Funds’ business. With this overall framework in mind, when the Board, through its Nominating and Governance Committee discussed below, seeks nominees for the Board, the trustees consider, not only the candidate’s particular background, skills and experience, among other things, but also whether such background, skills and experience enhance the Board’s diversity and at the same time complement the Board given its current composition and the mix of skills and experiences of the incumbent trustees. The Nominating and Governance Committee believes that the Board generally benefits from diversity of background, experience and views among its members, and considers this a factor in evaluating the composition of the Board, but has not adopted any specific policy on diversity or any particular definition of diversity.

The Board believes the unitary board structure enhances good and effective governance, particularly given the nature of the structure of the investment company complex. Funds in the same complex generally are served by the same service providers and personnel and are governed by the same regulatory scheme which raises common issues that must be addressed by the directors across the fund complex (such as compliance, valuation, liquidity, brokerage, trade allocation or risk management). The Board believes it is more efficient to have a single board review and oversee common policies and procedures which increases the Board’s knowledge and expertise with respect to the many aspects of fund operations that are complex-wide in nature. The unitary structure also enhances the Board’s influence and oversight over the investment adviser and other service providers.

In an effort to enhance the independence of the Board, the Board also has a Chairman that is an independent trustee. The Board recognizes that a chairman can perform an important role in setting the agenda for the Board, establishing the boardroom culture, establishing a point person on behalf of the Board for fund management, and reinforcing the Board’s focus on the long-term interests of shareholders. The Board recognizes that a chairman may be able to better perform these functions without any conflicts of interests arising from a position with fund management. Accordingly, the trustees have elected Robert P. Bremner as the independent Chairman of the Board. Specific responsibilities of the Chairman include: (i) presiding at all meetings of the Board and of the shareholders; (ii) seeing that all orders and resolutions of the trustees are carried into effect; and (iii) maintaining records of and, whenever necessary, certifying all proceedings of the trustees and the shareholders.

Although the Board has direct responsibility over various matters (such as advisory contracts, underwriting contracts and fund performance), the Board also exercises certain of its oversight responsibilities through several committees that it has established and which report back to the full Board. The Board believes that a committee structure is an effective means to permit trustees to focus on particular operations or issues affecting the Nuveen Funds, including risk oversight. More specifically, with respect to risk oversight, the Board has delegated matters relating to valuation and compliance to certain committees (as summarized below) as well as certain aspects of investment risk. In addition, the Board believes that the periodic rotation of trustees among the different committees allows the trustees to gain additional and different perspectives of a Nuveen Fund’s operations. The Board has established five standing committees: the Executive Committee, the Dividend Committee, the Audit Committee, the Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Board may also from time to time create ad hoc committees to focus on particular issues as the need arises. The membership and functions of the standing committees are summarized below.

The Executive Committee, which meets between regular meetings of the Board, is authorized to exercise all of the powers of the Board. The members of the Executive Committee are Robert P.

The Audit Committee assists the Board in the oversight and monitoring of the accounting and reporting policies, processes and practices of the Nuveen Funds, and the audits of the financial statements of the Nuveen Funds; the quality and integrity of the financial statements of the Nuveen Funds; the Nuveen Funds’ compliance with legal and regulatory requirements relating to the Nuveen Funds’ financial statements; the independent auditors’ qualifications, performance and independence; and the pricing procedures of the Nuveen Funds and the Adviser’s internal valuation group. It is the responsibility of the Audit Committee to select, evaluate and replace any independent auditors (subject only to Board and, if applicable, shareholder ratification) and to determine their compensation. The Audit Committee is also responsible for, among other things, overseeing the valuation of securities comprising the Nuveen Funds’ portfolios. Subject to the Board’s general supervision of such actions, the Audit Committee addresses any valuation issues, oversees the Nuveen Funds’ pricing procedures and actions taken by the Adviser’s internal valuation group which provides regular reports to the committee, reviews any issues relating to the valuation of the Nuveen Funds’ securities brought to its attention and considers the risks to the Nuveen Funds in assessing the possible resolutions to these matters. The Audit Committee may also consider any financial risk exposures for the Nuveen Funds in conjunction with performing its functions.

To fulfill its oversight duties, the Audit Committee receives annual and semi-annual reports and has regular meetings with the external auditors for the Nuveen Funds and the Adviser’s internal audit group. The Audit Committee also may review in a general manner the processes the Board or other Board committees have in place with respect to risk assessment and risk management as well as compliance with legal and regulatory matters relating to the Nuveen Funds’ financial statements. The committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. Members of the Audit Committee shall be independent (as set forth in the charter) and free of any relationship that, in the opinion of the trustees, would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment as an Audit Committee member. The members of the Audit Committee are Robert P. Bremner, David J. Kundert, Chair, William J. Schneider, Carole E. Stone and Terence J. Toth, each of whom is an independent trustee of the Nuveen Funds. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, the Audit Committee met four times.

The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for seeking, identifying and recommending to the Board qualified candidates for election or appointment to the Board. In addition, the Nominating and Governance Committee oversees matters of corporate governance, including the evaluation of Board performance and processes, the assignment and rotation of committee members, and the establishment of corporate governance guidelines and procedures, to the extent necessary or desirable, and matters related thereto. Although the unitary and committee structure has been developed over the years and the Nominating and Governance Committee believes the structure has provided efficient and effective governance, the committee recognizes that as demands on the Board evolve over time (such as through an increase in the number of funds overseen or an increase in the complexity of the issues raised), the committee must continue to evaluate the Board and committee structures and their processes and modify the foregoing as may be necessary or appropriate to continue to provide effective governance. Accordingly, the Nominating and Governance Committee has a separate meeting each year to, among other things, review the Board and committee structures, their performance and functions, and recommend any modifications thereto or alternative structures or processes that would enhance the Board’s governance of the Nuveen Funds.

In addition, the Nominating and Governance Committee, among other things, makes recommendations concerning the continuing education of trustees; monitors performance of legal counsel and other service providers; establishes and monitors a process by which security holders are able to communicate in writing with members of the Board; and periodically reviews and makes recommendations about any appropriate changes to trustee compensation. In the event of a vacancy on the Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee receives suggestions from various sources, including shareholders, as to suitable candidates. Suggestions should be sent in writing to Lorna Ferguson, Manager of Fund Board Relations, Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60606. The Nominating and Governance Committee sets appropriate standards and requirements for nominations for new trustees and reserves the right to interview any and all candidates and to make the final selection of any new trustees. In considering a candidate’s qualifications, each candidate must meet certain basic requirements, including relevant skills and experience, time availability (including the time

S-34

requirements for due diligence site visits to sub-advisers and service providers) and, if qualifying as an independent trustee candidate, independence from the Adviser, sub-advisers, the Distributor and other service providers, including any affiliates of these entities. These skill and experience requirements may vary depending on the current composition of the Board, since the goal is to ensure an appropriate range of skills, diversity and experience, in the aggregate. Accordingly, the particular factors considered and weight given to these factors will depend on the composition of the Board and the skills and backgrounds of the incumbent trustees at the time of consideration of the nominees. All candidates, however, must meet high expectations of personal integrity, independence, governance experience and professional competence. All candidates must be willing to be critical within the Board and with management and yet maintain a collegial and collaborative manner toward other Board members. The committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. This committee is composed of the independent trustees of the Nuveen Funds. Accordingly, the members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are Robert P. Bremner, Chair, Jack B. Evans, William C. Hunter, David J. Kundert, William J. Schneider, Judith M. Stockdale, Carole E. Stone, Virginia L. Stringer and Terence J. Toth. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, the Nominating and Governance Committee met six times.

The Dividend Committee is authorized to declare distributions on the Nuveen Funds’ shares, including, but not limited to, regular and special dividends, capital gains and ordinary income distributions. The members of the Dividend Committee are Jack B. Evans, Chair, Judith M. Stockdale and Terence J. Toth. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, the Dividend Committee met four times.

The Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee (the “ Compliance Committee ”) is responsible for the oversight of compliance issues, risk management and other regulatory matters affecting the Nuveen Funds that are not otherwise the jurisdiction of the other committees. The Board has adopted and periodically reviews policies and procedures designed to address the Nuveen Funds’ compliance and risk matters. As part of its duties, the Compliance Committee reviews the policies and procedures relating to compliance matters and recommends modifications thereto as necessary or appropriate to the full Board; develops new policies and procedures as new regulatory matters affecting the Nuveen Funds arise from time to time; evaluates or considers any comments or reports from examinations from regulatory authorities and responses thereto; and performs any special reviews, investigations or other oversight responsibilities relating to risk management, compliance and/or regulatory matters as requested by the Board.

In addition, the Compliance Committee is responsible for risk oversight, including, but not limited to, the oversight of risks related to investments and operations. Such risks include, among other things, exposures to particular issuers, market sectors, or types of securities; risks related to product structure elements, such as leverage; and techniques that may be used to address those risks, such as hedging and swaps. In assessing issues brought to the committee’s attention or in reviewing a particular policy, procedure, investment technique or strategy, the Compliance Committee evaluates the risks to the Nuveen Funds in adopting a particular approach compared to the anticipated benefits to the Nuveen Funds and their shareholders. In fulfilling its obligations, the Compliance Committee meets on a quarterly basis, and at least once a year in person. The Compliance Committee receives written and oral reports from the Nuveen Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer (“ CCO ”) and meets privately with the CCO at each of its quarterly meetings. The CCO also provides an annual report to the full Board regarding the operations of the Nuveen Funds’ and other service providers’ compliance programs as well as any recommendations for modifications thereto. The Compliance Committee also receives reports from the Adviser’s investment services group regarding various investment risks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the full Board also participates in discussions with management regarding certain matters relating to investment risk, such as the use of leverage and hedging. The investment services group therefore also reports to the full Board at its quarterly meetings regarding, among other things, fund performance and the various drivers of such performance. Accordingly, the Board directly and/or in conjunction with the Compliance Committee oversees matters relating to investment risks. Matters not addressed at the committee level are addressed directly by the full Board. The committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. The members of the Compliance Committee are Jack B. Evans, William C. Hunter, William J. Schneider, Judith M. Stockdale, Chair, and Virginia L. Stringer. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, the Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee met six times.

S-35

Effective January 1, 2012, the Board approved the creation of the Open-End Funds Committee. The Open-End Funds Committee is responsible for assisting the Board in the oversight and monitoring of the Nuveen Funds that are registered as open-end management investment companies (“ Open-End Funds ”). The committee may review and evaluate matters related to the formation and the initial presentation to the Board of any new Open-End Fund and may review and evaluate any matters relating to any existing Open-End Fund. The committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. The members of the Open-End Funds Committee are Robert P. Bremner, David J. Kundert, Judith M. Stockdale, Virginia L. Stringer and Terence J. Toth, Chair. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, the Open-End Funds Committee met one time.

Board Diversification and Trustee Qualifications

In determining that a particular trustee was qualified to serve on the Board, the Board has considered each trustee’s background, skills, experience and other attributes in light of the composition of the Board with no particular factor controlling. The Board believes that trustees need to have the ability to critically review, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, and to interact effectively with Fund management, service providers and counsel, in order to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties, and the Board believes each trustee satisfies this standard. An effective trustee may achieve this ability through his or her educational background; business, professional training or practice; public service or academic positions; experience from service as a board member or executive of investment funds, public companies or significant private or not-for-profit entities or other organizations; and or/other life experiences. Accordingly, set forth below is a summary of the experiences, qualifications, attributes, and skills that led to the conclusion, as of the date of this document, that each trustee should continue to serve in that capacity. References to the experiences, qualifications, attributes and skills of trustees are pursuant to requirements of the SEC, do not constitute holding out of the Board or any trustee as having any special expertise or experience and shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on any such person or on the Board by reason thereof.

When ad hoc committees were organized, the Nominating and Governance Committee at the time of formation determined compensation to be paid to the members of such committee; however, in general, such fees were $1,000 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone at ad hoc committee meetings where in-person attendance was required

S-39

and $500 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person attendance was not required. The annual retainer, fees and expenses were allocated among the Nuveen Funds on the basis of relative net assets, although management might have, in its discretion, established a minimum amount to be allocated to each fund.

The annual retainer, fees and expenses are allocated among the Nuveen Funds on the basis of relative net assets, although management may, in its discretion, establish a minimum amount to be allocated to each fund.

The Registrants do not have a retirement or pension plan. The Registrants have a deferred compensation plan (the “ Deferred Compensation Plan ”) that permits any independent trustee to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of his or her compensation as an independent trustee. The deferred compensation of a participating trustee is credited to a book reserve account of the Registrants when the compensation would otherwise have been paid to the trustee. The value of the trustee’s deferral account at any time is equal to the value that the account would have had if contributions to the account had been invested and reinvested in shares of one or more of the eligible Nuveen Funds. At the time for commencing distributions from a trustee’s deferral account, the independent trustee may elect to receive distributions in a lump sum or over a period of five years. The Registrants will not be liable for any other fund’s obligations to make distributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan.

The Funds have no employees. The officers of the Registrants and the trustee of the Registrants who is not an independent trustee serve without any compensation from the Funds.

For the management services and facilities furnished by the Adviser, each of the Funds has agreed to pay an annual management fee at rates set forth in the Prospectuses under “Who Manages the Funds.” In addition, the Adviser has agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee or reimburse certain expenses of the Funds. The Prospectuses include current fee waivers and expense reimbursements for the Funds.

Each Fund’s management fee is divided into two components—a complex-level fee based on the aggregate amount of all eligible Nuveen Fund assets and a specific fund-level fee based only on the amount of assets within each individual Fund. This pricing structure enables Fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within each individual Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser. Under no circumstances will this pricing structure result in a Fund paying management fees at a rate higher than would otherwise have been applicable had the complex-wide management fee structure not been implemented.

Each Fund has agreed to pay an annual fund-level management fee, payable monthly, based upon the average daily net assets of each Fund as set forth in the Prospectuses.

Each Fund’s complex-level fee is payable monthly and is additive to the fund-level fee. The overall complex-level fee rate is based on the schedule below. Nuveen High Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen Limited Term Municipal Bond Fund pay the overall complex-level fee rate. The complex-level fee for Nuveen All-American Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Intermediate Duration Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund is determined by taking the current overall complex-level fee rate, which is based on the aggregate amount of the “eligible assets” of all Nuveen Funds, and making, as appropriate, upward adjustments to that rate based upon the percentage of each Fund’s assets that are not “eligible assets.” The current overall complex-level fee schedule is as follows:


Complex-Level Asset Breakpoint Level*	Effective Rate at Breakpoint Level
$55 billion		0.2000	%
$56 billion		0.1996	%
$57 billion		0.1989	%
$60 billion		0.1961	%
$63 billion		0.1931	%
$66 billion		0.1900	%
$71 billion		0.1851	%
$76 billion		0.1806	%
$80 billion		0.1773	%
$91 billion		0.1691	%
$125 billion		0.1599	%
$200 billion		0.1505	%
$250 billion		0.1469	%
$300 billion		0.1445	%

The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily “eligible assets” of all Nuveen Funds. Except as described below, eligible assets include the net assets of all Nuveen-branded closed-end and open-end registered investment companies organized in the United States. 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 Nuveen Fund Advisors’ assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011. Eligible assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes the closed-end funds’ use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an

S-42

agreement by the Adviser as to certain Funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining eligible assets in certain circumstances. As of June 30, 2012, the Funds’ effective complex-level fee rates were as follows:


	Complex-Level Fee Rate
Nuveen All-American Municipal Bond Fund		0.1775	%
Nuveen High Yield Municipal Bond Fund		0.1731	%
Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund		0.1731	%
Nuveen Intermediate Duration Municipal Bond Fund		0.1779	%
Nuveen Limited Term Municipal Bond Fund		0.1731	%
Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund		0.1943	%

The following tables set forth the management fees (net of fee waivers and expense reimbursements) paid by the Funds and the fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser for the specified periods.

Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund was formerly advised by FAF Advisors, Inc. (“ FAF ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S. Bank National Association (“ U.S. Bank ”). On December 31, 2010, pursuant to an agreement among U.S. Bank, FAF, Nuveen Investments and certain Nuveen affiliates, the Adviser acquired a portion of the asset management business of FAF and was selected as the investment adviser of the Fund (the “ Transaction ”).

As noted, FAF served as Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund’s investment adviser prior to the consummation of the Transaction. The following table sets forth the management fees (net of fee waivers and expense reimbursements) paid by the Fund and the fees waived and expenses reimbursed by FAF for the specified periods.

In addition to the Adviser’s management fee, each Fund also pays a portion of each Registrant’s general administrative expenses allocated in proportion to the net assets of each Fund. All fees and expenses are accrued daily and deducted before payment of dividends to investors.

Sub-Adviser

The Adviser has selected its affiliate, Nuveen Asset Management, to serve as sub-adviser to manage the investment portfolio of each Fund. The Adviser pays Nuveen Asset Management a portfolio management fee for each Fund equal to the percentage shown below of the advisory fee paid to the Adviser for its services to the Fund (net of any waivers, reimbursement payments, supermarket fees and alliance fees waived, reimbursed or paid by the Adviser in respect of each Fund).


Fund	Percentage of Fee to be paid by the Adviser to Nuveen Asset Management

		Nuveen Intermediate Duration Municipal Bond Fund
Daniel J. Close		Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund

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 Funds’ 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 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.

S-44

Long-term incentive compensation . Certain key employees of Nuveen Investments and its affiliates, including certain portfolio managers, have received equity interests in the parent company of Nuveen Investments. In addition, 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 Funds and the Other Accounts shown in the table below.

Other Accounts Managed

In addition to the Funds, as of April 30, 2012, the portfolio managers are also primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the following accounts:


Portfolio Manager	Type of Account Managed	Number of Accounts		Assets		Number of Accounts with Performance Based Fees		Assets of Accounts with Performance Based Fees

Douglas M. Baker	Registered Investment Companies		2		$1.6 billion		0		0

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

S-45

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.

Custodians

U.S. Bank and State Street Bank and Trust Company act as custodians for the Funds (the “ Custodians ”). U.S. Bank, 60 Livingston Avenue, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101, acts as the custodian for Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund. U.S. Bank is a subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp. State Street Bank and Trust Company, P.O. Box 5043, Boston, Massachusetts 02206-5043, acts as the custodian for Nuveen All-American Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen High Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Intermediate Duration Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen Limited Term Municipal Bond Fund.

The Custodians take no part in determining the investment policies of the Funds or in deciding which securities are purchased or sold by the Funds. All of the instruments representing the investments of the Funds and all cash are held by the Custodians. The Custodians deliver securities against payment upon sale and pays for securities against delivery upon purchase. The Custodians also remit Fund assets in payment of Fund expenses, pursuant to instructions of NIF’s officers or resolutions of the Board of Directors.

As compensation for its services as custodian, U.S. Bank is paid a monthly fee calculated on an annual basis equal to 0.005% of Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund’s average daily net assets. State Street Bank and Trust Company is paid reasonable compensation as agreed upon from time to time. Sub-custodian fees with respect to the Funds are paid by State Street Bank and Trust Company out of its fees from the Funds. In addition, the Custodians are reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred while providing services to the Funds. Each Custodian continues to serve so long as its appointment is approved at least annually by the Board of Trustees including a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” of NIF, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act.

Distributor

Nuveen Securities, LLC, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, serves as the distributor for the Funds’ shares pursuant to a “best efforts” arrangement as provided by a Distribution Agreement dated January 1, 2011 (the “ Distribution Agreement ”). Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Funds appointed the Distributor to be their agent for the distribution of the Funds’ shares on a continuous offering basis.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“ PwC ”), One North Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, independent registered public accounting firm, has been selected as auditors for the Funds. In addition to audit services, PwC provides assistance on accounting, tax and related matters.

S-47

CODES OF ETHICS

The Funds, the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser and the Distributor have adopted codes of ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and with respect to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Acts of 1940, as amended, addressing personal securities transactions and other conduct by investment personnel and access persons who may have access to information about the Funds’ securities transactions. The codes are intended to address potential conflicts of interest that can arise in connection with personal trading activities of such persons. Persons subject to the codes are generally permitted to engage in personal securities transactions, including investing in securities eligible for investment by the Funds, subject to certain prohibitions, which may include prohibitions on investing in certain types of securities, pre-clearance requirements, blackout periods, annual and quarterly reporting of personal securities holdings and limitations on personal trading of initial public offerings. Violations of the codes are subject to review by the Board of Trustees and could result in severe penalties.

PROXY VOTING POLICIES

The Funds invest their assets primarily in municipal bonds and cash management securities. On rare occasions a Fund may acquire, directly or through a special purpose vehicle, equity securities of a municipal bond issuer whose bonds the Fund already owns when such bonds have deteriorated or are expected shortly to deteriorate significantly in credit quality. The purpose of acquiring equity securities generally will be to acquire control of the municipal bond issuer and to seek to prevent the credit deterioration or facilitate the liquidation or other workout of the distressed issuer’s credit problem. In the course of exercising control of a distressed municipal issuer, Nuveen Asset Management may pursue the Fund’s interests in a variety of ways, which may entail negotiating and executing consents, agreements and other arrangements, and otherwise influencing the management of the issuer. Nuveen Asset Management does not consider such activities proxy voting for purposes of Rule 206(4)-6 under the 1940 Act, but nevertheless provides reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees on its control activities on a quarterly basis.

In the rare event that a municipal issuer were to issue a proxy or that the Fund were to receive a proxy issued by a cash management security, Nuveen Asset Management would either engage an independent third party to determine how the proxy should be voted or vote the proxy with the consent, or based on the instructions, of the Fund’s Board of Trustees or its representative. A member of Nuveen Asset Management’s legal department would oversee the administration of the voting, and ensure that records were maintained in accordance with Rule 206(4)-6, reports were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”) on Form N-PX, and the results provided to the Fund’s Board of Trustees and made available to shareholders as required by applicable rules.

Information regarding how each Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available without charge by calling (800) 257-8787 or by accessing the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

Nuveen Asset Management is responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities for the Funds, the negotiation of the prices to be paid or received for principal trades, and the allocation of its transactions among various dealer firms. Portfolio securities will normally be purchased directly from an underwriter in a new issue offering or in the over-the-counter secondary market from the principal dealers in such securities, unless it appears that a better price or execution may be obtained elsewhere. Portfolio securities will not be purchased from Nuveen or its affiliates except in compliance with the 1940 Act.

The Funds expect that substantially all portfolio transactions will be effected on a principal (as opposed to an agency) basis and, accordingly, do not expect to pay significant amounts of brokerage commissions. Brokerage will not be allocated based on the sale of a Fund’s shares. Purchases from underwriters will include a commission or concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter, and purchases from dealers will include the spread between the bid and asked price. It is the policy of

S-48

Nuveen Asset Management to seek the best execution under the circumstances of each trade. Nuveen Asset Management evaluates price as the primary consideration, with the financial condition, reputation and responsiveness of the dealer considered secondarily in determining best execution. Given the best execution obtainable, it may be Nuveen Asset Management’s practice to select dealers that, in addition, furnish research information (primarily credit analyses of issuers and general economic reports) and statistical and other services to Nuveen Asset Management. It is not possible to place a dollar value on information and statistical and other services received from dealers. Since it is only supplementary to Nuveen Asset Management’s own research efforts, the receipt of research information is not expected to reduce significantly Nuveen Asset Management’s expenses. For certain secondary market transactions where the execution capability of two brokers is judged to be of substantially similar quality, Nuveen Asset Management may randomly select one of them. While Nuveen Asset Management will be primarily responsible for the placement of the portfolio transactions of the Funds, the policies and practices of Nuveen Asset Management in this regard must be consistent with the foregoing and will, at all times, be subject to review by the Board of Trustees.

Nuveen Asset Management may manage other investment companies and investment accounts for other clients that have investment objectives similar to the Funds. Subject to applicable laws and regulations, Nuveen Asset Management seeks to allocate portfolio transactions equitably whenever concurrent decisions are made to purchase or sell securities by a Fund and another advisory account. In making such allocations the main factors to be considered will be the respective investment objectives, the relative size of the portfolio holdings of the same or comparable securities, the availability of cash for investment or need to raise cash, and the size of investment commitments generally held. While this procedure could have a detrimental effect on the price or amount of the securities (or in the case of dispositions, the demand for securities) available to the Funds from time to time, it is the opinion of the Board of Trustees that the benefits available from the Nuveen Asset Management organization will outweigh any disadvantage that may arise from exposure to simultaneous transactions.

Portfolio Trading and Turnover

The Funds will make changes in their investment portfolios from time to time in order to seek to take advantage of opportunities in the municipal market and to limit exposure to market risk. The Funds may also engage to a limited extent in short-term trading consistent with their investment objectives. Securities may be sold in anticipation of market decline or purchased in anticipation of market rise and later sold. In addition, a security may be sold and another of comparable quality purchased at approximately the same time to take advantage of what Nuveen Asset Management believes to be a temporary disparity in the normal yield relationship between the two securities. Each Fund may make changes in its investment portfolio in order to limit its exposure to changing market conditions. Changes in a Fund’s investments are known as “portfolio turnover.”

The portfolio turnover rates for the 2011 and 2012 fiscal year-ends of the Funds were:


	Fiscal Year
	2011			2012

Nuveen All-American Municipal Bond Fund		26	%		18	%

Nuveen High Yield Municipal Bond Fund		31			16

Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund		6	*		14

Nuveen Intermediate Duration Municipal Bond Fund		6			10

Nuveen Limited Term Municipal Bond Fund		13			12

Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund		21	**		39

**	For the ten months ended April 30, 2011.

S-49

DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Nuveen Mutual Funds have adopted a portfolio holdings disclosure policy which governs the dissemination of the Funds’ portfolio holdings. In accordance with this policy, the Funds may provide portfolio holdings information to third parties no earlier than the time a report is filed with the SEC that is required to contain such information or one day after the information is posted on the Funds’ publicly accessible website, www.nuveen.com. The portfolio holdings information is posted monthly approximately five business days after the end of the month as of which the information is current. Additionally, the Funds publish on the website a list of their top ten holdings as of the end of each month, approximately two to five business days after the end of the month for which the information is current. This information will remain available on the website at least until the Funds file with the SEC their Forms N-CSR or Forms N-Q for the period that includes the date as of which the website information is current.

Additionally, the Funds may disclose portfolio holdings information that has not been included in a filing with the SEC or posted on the Funds’ website (i.e., non-public portfolio holdings information) only if there is a legitimate business purpose for doing so and if the recipient is required, either by explicit agreement or by virtue of the recipient’s duties to the Funds as an agent or service provider, to maintain the confidentiality of the information and to not use the information in an improper manner (e.g., personal trading). In this connection, the Funds may disclose on an ongoing basis non-public portfolio holdings information in the normal course of their investment and administrative operations to various service providers, including the Adviser and/or sub-adviser, independent registered public accounting firm, custodian, financial printer (R.R. Donnelley Financial and Financial Graphic Services), proxy voting service(s) (including ISS, ADP Investor Communication Services, and Glass, Lewis & Co.), and to the legal counsel for the Funds’ independent directors/trustees (Chapman and Cutler LLP). Also, the Adviser may transmit to Vestek Systems, Inc. daily non-public portfolio holdings information on a next-day basis to enable the Adviser to perform portfolio attribution analysis using Vestek’s systems and software programs. Vestek is also provided with non-public portfolio holdings information on a monthly basis approximately 2-3 business days after the end of each month so that Vestek may calculate and provide certain statistical information (but not the non-public holdings information itself) to its clients (including retirement plan sponsors or their consultants). The Adviser and/or sub-adviser may also provide certain portfolio holdings information to broker-dealers from time to time in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or requests for price quotations or bids on one or more securities. In providing this information, reasonable precautions are taken in an effort to avoid potential misuse of the disclosed information, including limitations on the scope of the portfolio holdings information disclosed, when appropriate.

Non-public portfolio holdings information may be provided to other persons if approved by the Funds’ Chief Administrative Officer or Secretary upon a determination that there is a legitimate business purpose for doing so, the disclosure is consistent with the interests of the Funds, and the recipient is obligated to maintain the confidentiality of the information and not misuse it.

Compliance officers of the Funds and the Adviser and sub-adviser periodically monitor overall compliance with the policy to ascertain whether portfolio holdings information is disclosed in a manner that is consistent with the Funds’ policy. Reports are made to the Funds’ Board of Trustees on an annual basis.

There is no assurance that the Funds’ policies on portfolio holdings information will protect the Funds from the potential misuse of portfolio holdings information by individuals or firms in possession of such information.

NET ASSET VALUE

Each Fund’s net asset value is determined as set forth in its Prospectus under “General Information—Net Asset Value.”

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST/CAPITAL STOCK

The Trust

The Board of Trustees of the Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares in one or more series, which may be divided into classes of shares. Currently, there are five series authorized and outstanding, each of which may be generally divided into different classes of shares designated as Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares and Class I shares. Each class of shares represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of a Fund. Each class of shares has equal rights as to voting, redemption, dividends and liquidation, except that each bears different class expenses, including different distribution and service fees, and each has exclusive voting rights with respect to any distribution or service plan applicable to its shares. There are no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, except that Class B shares (available in only certain series) automatically convert into Class A shares. The Board of Trustees of the Trust has the right to establish additional series and classes of shares in the future, to change those series or classes and to determine the preferences, voting powers, rights and privileges thereof.

The Trust is not required and does not intend to hold annual meetings of shareholders. Shareholders owning more than 10% of the outstanding shares of a Fund have the right to call a special meeting to remove trustees or for any other purpose.

Under Massachusetts law applicable to Massachusetts business trusts, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable as partners for its obligations. However, the Declaration of Trust of the Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the Trust and requires that notice of this disclaimer be given in each agreement, obligation or instrument entered into or executed by the Trust or the trustees. The Trust’s Declaration of Trust further provides for indemnification out of the assets and property of the Trust for all losses and expenses of any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the Trust. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which both inadequate insurance existed and the Trust or a Fund itself was unable to meet its obligations. The Trust believes the likelihood of the occurrence of these circumstances is remote.

The following table sets forth the percentage ownership of each person, who, as of August 2, 2012, owned of record, or is known by the Trust to have owned of record or beneficially, 5% or more of any class of a Fund’s shares.

NIF

Each share of Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund’s $0.0001 par value common stock is fully paid, nonassessable, and transferable. Shares may be issued as either full or fractional shares. Fractional shares have pro rata the same rights and privileges as full shares. Shares of the Fund have no preemptive or conversion rights.

Each share of the Fund has one vote. On some issues, such as the election of directors, all shares of all NIF funds vote together as one series. The shares do not have cumulative voting rights. On issues affecting only a particular Fund, the shares of that Fund will vote as a separate series. Examples of such issues would be proposals to alter a fundamental investment restriction pertaining to a Fund or to approve, disapprove or alter a distribution plan.

The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of NIF provide that meetings of shareholders be held as determined by the Board of Directors and as required by the 1940 Act. Maryland corporation law requires a meeting of shareholders to be held upon the written request of shareholders holding 10% or more of the voting shares of NIF, with the cost of preparing and mailing the notice of such meeting payable by the requesting shareholders. The 1940 Act requires a shareholder vote for, among other things, all amendments to fundamental investment policies and restrictions, for approval of investment advisory contracts and amendments thereto, and for amendments to Rule 12b-1 distribution plans.

As of August 2, 2012, the Fund was aware that the following persons owned of record 5% or more of the outstanding shares of each class of stock of the Fund:

TAX MATTERS

Federal Income Tax Matters

This section summarizes some of the main U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning shares of a Fund. This section is current as of the date of this SAI. Tax laws and interpretations change frequently, and this summary does not describe all of the tax consequences to all taxpayers. For example, this summary generally does not describe your situation if you are a corporation, a non-U.S. person, a broker-dealer or other investor with special circumstances. In addition, this section does not describe your state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences. This federal income tax summary is based in part on the advice of counsel to the Funds. The Internal Revenue Service could disagree with any conclusions set forth in this section. In addition, Funds’ counsel was not asked to review, and has not reached a conclusion with respect to the federal income tax treatment of the assets to be deposited in the Funds. Consequently, this summary may not be sufficient for you to use for the purpose of avoiding penalties under federal tax law. As with any investment, you should seek advice based on your individual circumstances from your own tax professional.

Fund Status

Each Fund intends to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under the federal tax laws. If a Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company and distributes its income as required by the tax law, the Fund generally will not pay federal income taxes.

Qualification as a Regulated Investment Company

As a regulated investment company, a Fund generally will not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of its investment company taxable income (as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code (“ Code ”), but without regard to the deduction for dividends paid) and net capital gain (i.e., the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss), if any, that it distributes to shareholders, provided that it distributes at least 90% of its investment company taxable income and 90% of its net tax-exempt interest income for the year (the “ Distribution Requirement ”) and satisfies certain other requirements of the Code that are generally described below. Each Fund also intends to make such distributions as are necessary to avoid the otherwise applicable 4% non-deductible excise tax on certain undistributed earnings.

In addition to satisfying the Distribution Requirement, each Fund must, among other things, derive in each taxable year at least 90% of its gross income from (1) dividends, interest, certain payments with respect to securities loans, gains from the sale or disposition of stock, securities or non-U.S. currencies and other income (including but not limited to gains from options, futures or forward contracts) derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies, and (2) net income derived from an interest in “qualified publicly traded partnerships” (as such term is defined in the Code). Each Fund must also satisfy an asset diversification test in order to qualify as a regulated investment company. Under this test, at the close of each quarter of a Fund’s taxable year, (1) 50% or more of the value of the Fund’s assets must be represented by cash, and cash items (including receivables), United States government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies, and other securities, with such other securities limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount not greater than 5% of the value of the Fund’s assets and not greater than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer and (2) not more than 25% of the value of the Fund’s assets may be invested in securities of (a) any one issuer (other than U.S. government securities or securities of other regulated investment companies), or of two or more issuers which the Fund controls and which are engaged in the same, similar or related trades or businesses or (b) in the securities of one or more “qualified publicly traded partnerships” (as such term is defined in the Code). There are certain exceptions for failure to qualify if the failure is for reasonable cause or is de minimis and certain corrective action is taken and certain tax payments are made by a Fund.

Distributions

After the end of each year, you will receive a tax statement that separates your Fund’s distributions into four categories, exempt-interest dividends, ordinary income distributions, capital gains dividends and returns of capital. Exempt-interest dividends generally are excluded from your

S-65

gross income for federal income tax purposes. Some or all of the exempt-interest dividends, however, may be taken into account in determining your alternative minimum tax and may have other tax consequences (e.g., they may affect the amount of your social security benefits that are taxed). Ordinary income distributions are generally taxed at your ordinary tax rate. Generally, you will treat all capital gains dividends as long-term capital gains regardless of how long you have owned your shares. To determine your actual tax liability for your capital gains dividends, you must calculate your total net capital gain or loss for the tax year after considering all of your other taxable transactions, as described below. In addition, a Fund may make distributions that represent a return of capital for tax purposes and thus will generally not be taxable to you unless the distribution exceeds your basis in your shares. The tax status of your distributions from your Fund is not affected by whether you reinvest your distributions in additional shares or receive them in cash. The income from your Fund that you must take into account for federal income tax purposes is not reduced by amounts used to pay a deferred sales fee, if any. The tax laws may require you to treat distributions made to you in January as if you had received them on December 31 of the previous year. Under the “Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,” income from the Fund may also be subject to a new 3.8 percent “medicare tax” imposed for taxable years beginning after 2012. This tax will generally apply to your net investment income if your adjusted gross income exceeds certain threshold amounts, which are $250,000 in the case of married couples filing joint returns and $200,000 in the case of single individuals. Interest that is excluded from gross income and exempt-interest dividends from the Funds are generally not included in your net investment income for purposes of this tax.

Dividends Received Deduction

A corporation that owns shares generally will not be entitled to the dividends received deduction with respect to dividends received from the Funds because the dividends received deduction is generally not available for distributions from regulated investment companies.

If You Sell or Redeem Your Shares

If you sell or redeem your shares, you will generally recognize a taxable gain or loss. To determine the amount of this gain or loss, you must subtract your tax basis in your shares from the amount you receive in the transaction. Your tax basis in your shares is generally equal to the cost of your shares, generally including sales charges. In some cases, however, you may have to adjust your tax basis after you purchase your shares. Further, if you hold your shares for six months or less, any loss incurred by you related to the disposition of such a share will be disallowed to the extent of the exempt-interest dividends you received, except as otherwise described in the next section.

Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses

If you are an individual, the maximum marginal federal tax rate for net capital gain is generally 15% (generally 0% for certain taxpayers in the 10% and 15% tax brackets). These capital gains rates are generally effective for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013. For later periods, if you are an individual, the maximum marginal federal tax rate for net capital gain is generally 20% (10% for certain taxpayers in the 10% and 15% tax brackets). The 20% rate is reduced to 18% for net capital gains from most property acquired after December 31, 2000 with a holding period of more than five years, and the 10% rate is reduced to 8% for net capital gains from most property (regardless of when acquired) with a holding period of more than five years.

Net capital gain equals net long-term capital gain minus net short-term capital loss for the taxable year. Capital gain or loss is long-term if the holding period for the asset is more than one year and is short-term if the holding period for the asset is one year or less. You must exclude the date you purchase your shares to determine your holding period. If you hold a share for six months or less, any loss incurred by you related to the disposition of such share will be disallowed to the extent of the exempt-interest dividends you received, except in the case of a regular dividend paid by the Fund if the Fund declares exempt-interest dividends on a daily basis in an amount equal to at least 90 percent of its net tax-exempt interest and distributes such dividends on a monthly or more frequent basis. To the extent, if any, it is not disallowed, it will be recharacterized as long-term capital loss to the extent of the capital gain dividend received. The tax rates for capital gains realized from assets held for one year or less are generally the same as for ordinary income. The Internal Revenue Code treats certain capital gains as ordinary income in special situations.

S-66

Exempt-Interest Dividends

A regulated investment company may report any portion of a dividend (other than a capital gain dividend) as an “exempt-interest dividend,” if at least half of the regulated investment company’s assets consist of tax-exempt state and local bonds. In the case of a qualified fund of funds, the regulated investment company may pay exempt-interest dividends without regard to the requirement that at least 50 percent of the value of its total assets consist of tax-exempt state and local bonds. For this purpose, a qualified fund of funds means a regulated investment company at least 50 percent of the value of the total assets of which (at the close of each quarter of the taxable year) is represented by interests in other regulated investment companies. The shareholder treats an exempt-interest dividend as an item of tax-exempt interest.

Your Fund intends to qualify either under the percentage of assets test or as a qualified fund of funds, as described above. If your Fund qualifies under either test, some or all of a dividend paid by the Fund may be treated as an exempt-interest dividend.

In-Kind Distributions

Under certain circumstances, as described in the Prospectuses, you may receive an in-kind distribution of Fund securities when you redeem shares or when your Fund terminates. This distribution will be treated as a sale for federal income tax purposes and you will generally recognize gain or loss, generally based on the value at that time of the securities and the amount of cash received. The Internal Revenue Service could, however, assert that a loss may not be currently deducted.

Exchanges

If you exchange shares of a Fund for shares of another Nuveen Mutual Fund, the exchange would generally be considered a sale for federal income tax purposes.

Deductibility of Fund Expenses

Expenses incurred and deducted by your Fund will generally not be treated as income taxable to you. In some cases, however, you may be required to treat your portion of these Fund expenses as income. In these cases you may be able to take a deduction for these expenses. However, certain miscellaneous itemized deductions, such as investment expenses, may be deducted by individuals only to the extent that all of these deductions exceed 2% of the individual’s adjusted gross income. Further, because the Funds pay exempt-interest dividends, which are treated as exempt interest for federal income tax purposes, you will not be able to deduct some of your interest expense for debt that you incur or continue to purchase or carry your shares.

Non-U.S. Investors

If you are a non-U.S. investor (i.e., an investor other than a U.S. citizen or resident or a U.S. corporation, partnership, estate or trust), you should be aware that, generally, subject to applicable tax treaties, distributions from a Fund will be characterized as dividends for federal income tax purposes (other than dividends which a Fund properly reports as capital gain dividends) and, other than exempt-interest dividends, will be subject to U.S. income taxes, including withholding taxes, subject to certain exceptions described below. However, distributions received by a non-U.S. investor from a Fund that are properly reported by a Fund as capital gain dividends may not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes, including withholding taxes, provided that a Fund makes certain elections and certain other conditions are met. Distributions in respect of shares after December 31, 2013 may be subject to a U.S. withholding tax of 30% in the case of distributions to (i) certain non-U.S. financial institutions that have not entered into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury to collect and disclose certain information and (ii) certain other non-U.S. entities that do not provide certain certifications and information about the entity’s U.S. owners. Dispositions of shares by such persons may be subject to such withholding after December 31, 2014.

S-67

State Tax Matters

Distributions by the Funds to shareholders and the ownership of shares may be subject to state and local taxes. In many states, exempt-interest dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of that state, or its political subdivisions, will be exempt from that state’s personal income taxes. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest on investments in municipal securities of other states. In some states, all exempt-interest dividends are subject to state and local income taxes. Shareholders are urged to contact their tax advisors regarding state and local tax laws affecting an investment in shares of a Fund.

PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF FUND SHARES

As described in the Prospectuses, the Funds provide you with alternative ways of purchasing Fund shares based upon your individual investment needs and preferences. The Funds are generally not a suitable investment for individuals investing through retirement plans.

Each class of shares of a Fund represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments. Each class of shares is identical in all respects except that each class bears its own class expenses, including distribution and administration expenses, and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to any distribution or service plan applicable to its shares. As a result of the differences in the expenses borne by each class of shares, net income per share, dividends per share and net asset value per share will vary among a Fund’s classes of shares. There are no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, except that Class B shares automatically convert into Class A shares as described below.

Shareholders of each class will share expenses proportionately for services that are received equally by all shareholders. A particular class of shares will bear only those expenses that are directly attributable to that class, where the type or amount of services received by a class varies from one class to another. For example, class-specific expenses generally will include distribution and service fees for those classes that pay such fees.

The expenses to be borne by specific classes of shares may include (i) transfer agency fees attributable to a specific class of shares, (ii) printing and postage expenses related to preparing and distributing materials such as shareholder reports, prospectuses and proxy statements to current shareholders of a specific class of shares, (iii) SEC and state securities registration fees incurred by a specific class of shares, (iv) the expense of administrative personnel and services required to support the shareholders of a specific class of shares, (v) litigation or other legal expenses relating to a specific class of shares, (vi) trustees’ fees or expenses incurred as a result of issues relating to a specific class of shares, (vii) accounting expenses relating to a specific class of shares and (viii) any additional incremental expenses subsequently identified and determined to be properly allocated to one or more classes of shares.

Class A Shares

Class A shares may be purchased at a public offering price equal to the applicable net asset value per share plus an up-front sales charge imposed at the time of purchase as set forth in the Prospectuses. Shareholders may qualify for a reduced sales charge, or the sales charge may be waived in its entirety, as described below. Class A shares are also subject to an annual service fee of 0.20%. See “Distribution and Service Plans.” Set forth below is an example of the method of computing the offering price of the Class A shares of a Fund. The example assumes a purchase on April 30, 2012 of Class A shares from the Nuveen High Yield Municipal Bond Fund aggregating less than $50,000 subject to the schedule of sales charges set forth in the Prospectus at a price based upon the net asset value of the Class A shares.


Net Asset Value per share	$	16.17
Per Share Sales Charge—4.20% of public offering price (4.39% of net asset value per share)		0.71

Per Share Offering Price to the Public	$	16.88

S-68

Each Fund receives the entire net asset value of all Class A shares that are sold. The Distributor retains the full applicable sales charge from which it pays the uniform reallowances shown in the Prospectuses to financial intermediaries.

Reduction or Elimination of Up-Front Sales Charge on Class A Shares

Rights of Accumulation. You may qualify for a reduced sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares of a Fund if the amount of your purchase, when added to the value that day of all of your shares of any Nuveen Mutual Fund, falls within the amounts stated in the Class A Sales Charges and Commissions table in “How You Can Buy and Sell Shares” in the Prospectuses. You or your financial advisor must notify the Distributor or the Fund’s transfer agent of any cumulative discount whenever you plan to purchase Class A shares of a Fund that you wish to qualify for a reduced sales charge.

Letter of Intent. You may qualify for a reduced sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares of a Fund if you plan to purchase Class A shares of Nuveen Mutual Funds over the next 13 months and the total amount of your purchases would, if purchased at one time, qualify you for one of the reduced sales charges shown in the Class A Sales Charges and Commissions table in “How You Can Buy and Sell Shares” in the Prospectuses. In order to take advantage of this option, you must complete the applicable section of the Application Form or sign and deliver to your financial advisor or other financial intermediary or to the Fund’s transfer agent a written Letter of Intent in a form acceptable to the Distributor. A Letter of Intent states that you intend, but are not obligated, to purchase over the next 13 months a stated total amount of Class A shares that would qualify you for a reduced sales charge shown above. You may count shares of all Nuveen Mutual Funds that you already own and any Class C and Class I shares of a Nuveen Mutual Fund that you purchase over the next 13 months towards completion of your investment program, but you will receive a reduced sales charge only on new Class A shares you purchase with a sales charge over the 13 months. You cannot count towards completion of your investment program Class A shares that you purchase without a sales charge through investment of distributions from a Nuveen Mutual Fund or a Nuveen Defined Portfolio, or otherwise.

By establishing a Letter of Intent, you agree that your first purchase of Class A shares of a Fund following execution of the Letter of Intent will be at least 5% of the total amount of your intended purchases. You further agree that shares representing 5% of the total amount of your intended purchases will be held in escrow pending completion of these purchases. All dividends and capital gains distributions on Class A shares held in escrow will be credited to your account. If total purchases, less redemptions, prior to the expiration of the 13 month period equal or exceed the amount specified in your Letter of Intent, the Class A shares held in escrow will be transferred to your account. If the total purchases, less redemptions, are less than the amount specified, you must pay the Distributor an amount equal to the difference between the amounts paid for these purchases and the amounts which would have been paid if the higher sales charge had been applied. If you do not pay the additional amount within 20 days after written request by the Distributor or your financial advisor, the Distributor will redeem an appropriate number of your escrowed Class A shares to meet the required payment. By establishing a Letter of Intent, you irrevocably appoint the Distributor as attorney to give instructions to redeem any or all of your escrowed shares, with full power of substitution in the premises.

You or your financial advisor must notify the Distributor or the Funds’ transfer agent whenever you make a purchase of Fund shares that you wish to be covered under the Letter of Intent option.

For purposes of determining whether you qualify for a reduced sales charge as described under Rights of Accumulation and Letter of Intent , you may include together with your own purchases those made by your spouse or domestic partner and your children under the age of 21 years, whether these purchases are made through a taxable or non-taxable account. You may also include purchases made by a corporation, partnership or sole proprietorship which is 100% owned, either alone or in combination, by any of the foregoing. In addition, a trustee or other fiduciary can count all shares purchased for a single trust, estate or other single fiduciary account that has multiple accounts (including one or more employee benefit plans of the same employer).

Reinvestment of Nuveen Defined Portfolio Distributions. You may purchase Class A shares without an up-front sales charge by reinvestment of distributions from any of the various Defined

S-69

Portfolios sponsored by the Distributor. There is no initial or subsequent minimum investment requirement for such reinvestment purchases. The Distributor is no longer sponsoring new Defined Portfolios.

Also, investors will be able to buy Class A shares at net asset value by using the termination/maturity proceeds from Nuveen Defined Portfolios. You must provide the Distributor appropriate documentation that the Defined Portfolio termination/maturity occurred not more than 90 days prior to reinvestment.

Elimination of Sales Charge on Class A Shares. Class A shares of a Fund may be purchased at net asset value without a sales charge by the following categories of investors:

•

investors purchasing $1,000,000 or more ($250,000 or more in the case of Nuveen Limited Term Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund);

•

current and former trustees/directors of the Nuveen Funds;

•

full-time and retired employees and directors of Nuveen Investments, and subsidiaries thereof, or their immediate family members (immediate family members are defined as their spouses or domestic partners, parents, children, grandparents, grandchildren, parents-in-law, sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, siblings, a sibling’s spouse and a spouse’s siblings);

•

any person who, for at least the last 90 days, has been an officer, director or employee of any financial intermediary, or their immediate family members;

•

bank or broker-affiliated trust departments investing funds over which they exercise exclusive discretionary investment authority and that are held in a fiduciary, agency, advisory, custodial or similar capacity;

•

investors purchasing on a periodic fee, asset-based fee or no transaction fee basis through a broker-dealer sponsored mutual fund purchase program;

•

clients of investment advisers, financial planners or other financial intermediaries that charge periodic or asset-based fees for their services; and

•

investors purchasing through a financial intermediary that has entered into an agreement with the Distributor to offer the Funds’ shares to self-directed investment brokerage accounts and that may or may not charge a transaction fee to its customers.

Any Class A shares purchased pursuant to a special sales charge waiver must be acquired for investment purposes and on the condition that they will not be transferred or resold except through redemption by the Funds. You or your financial advisor must notify the Distributor or your Fund’s transfer agent whenever you make a purchase of Class A shares of any Fund that you wish to be covered under these special sales charge waivers.

Class A shares of any Fund may be issued at net asset value without a sales charge in connection with the acquisition by a Fund of another investment company. All purchases under the special sales charge waivers will be subject to minimum purchase requirements as established by the Funds.

The reduced sales charge programs may be modified or discontinued by the Funds at any time. For more information about the purchase of Class A shares or the reduced sales charge program, or to obtain the required application forms, call Nuveen Investor Services toll-free at (800) 257-8787.

Class B Shares

Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Limited Term Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund do not issue Class B shares. The other Funds will only issue Class B shares (i) upon the exchange of Class B shares from another Nuveen Mutual Fund and (ii) for purposes of dividend reinvestment. Class B shares are not available for new accounts or for additional investment into existing accounts.

You may be subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“ CDSC ”) if you redeem your Class B shares prior to the end of the sixth year after purchase. See “Reduction or Elimination of Contingent Deferred Sales Charge” below.

Class B shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends are not subject to a CDSC. Any CDSC will be imposed on the lower of the redeemed shares’ cost or net asset value at the time of redemption.

S-70

Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. The purpose of the conversion is to limit the distribution fees you pay over the life of your investment. All conversions will be done at net asset value without the imposition of any sales load, fee, or other charge, so that the value of each shareholder’s account immediately before conversion will be the same as the value of the account immediately after conversion. Class B shares acquired through reinvestment of distributions will convert into Class A shares based on the date of the initial purchase to which such shares relate. For this purpose, Class B shares acquired through reinvestment of distributions will be attributed to particular purchases of Class B shares in accordance with such procedures as the Board of Trustees may determine from time to time. Class B shares that are converted to Class A shares will remain subject to an annual service fee that is identical in amount for both Class B shares and Class A shares. Since net asset value per share of the Class B shares and the Class A shares may differ at the time of conversion, a shareholder may receive more or fewer Class A shares than the number of Class B shares converted. Any conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares will be subject to the continuing availability of an opinion of counsel or a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the conversion of shares would not constitute a taxable event under federal income tax law. Conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares might be suspended if such an opinion or ruling were no longer available.

Class C Shares

You may purchase Class C shares at a public offering price equal to the applicable net asset value per share without any up-front sales charge. Class C shares are subject to an annual distribution fee of 0.55% to compensate the Distributor for paying your financial advisor or other financial intermediary an ongoing sales commission. Class C shares are also subject to an annual service fee of 0.20% to compensate financial intermediaries for providing you with ongoing financial advice and other account services. The Distributor compensates financial intermediaries for sales of Class C shares at the time of the sale at a rate of 0.75% of the amount of Class C shares purchased, which represents an advance of the first year’s distribution fee of 0.55% plus an advance on the first year’s annual service fee of 0.20%. See “Distribution and Service Plans.”

Class C share purchase orders equaling or exceeding $1,000,000 will not be accepted. In addition, purchase orders for a single purchaser that, when added to the value that day of all of such purchaser’s shares of any class of any Nuveen Mutual Fund, cause the purchaser’s cumulative total of shares in Nuveen Mutual Funds to equal or exceed the aforementioned limit will not be accepted. Purchase orders for a single purchaser equal to or exceeding the foregoing limit should be placed only for Class A shares, unless such purchase has been reviewed and approved as suitable for the client by the appropriate compliance personnel of the financial intermediary, and the Fund receives written confirmation of such approval.

Redemption of Class C shares within 12 months of purchase may be subject to a CDSC of 1% of the lower of the purchase price or redemption proceeds. Because Class C shares do not convert to Class A shares and continue to pay an annual distribution fee indefinitely, Class C shares should normally not be purchased by an investor who expects to hold shares for significantly longer than eight years.

Reduction or Elimination of Contingent Deferred Sales Charge

Class A shares are normally redeemed at net asset value, without any CDSC. However, in the case of Class A shares purchased at net asset value without a sales charge because the purchase amount exceeded $1 million, a CDSC is imposed on any redemption within 18 months of purchase. In the case of Class B shares redeemed within six years of purchase, a CDSC is imposed, beginning at 5% for redemptions within the first year, declining to 4% for redemptions within years two and three, and declining by 1% each year thereafter until disappearing after the sixth year. Class C shares are redeemed at net asset value, without any CDSC, except that a CDSC of 1% is imposed upon any redemption within 12 months of purchase (except in cases where a shareholder is eligible for a waiver).

In determining whether a CDSC is payable, each Fund will first redeem shares not subject to any charge and then will redeem shares held for the longest period, unless the shareholder specifies another order. No CDSC is charged on shares purchased as a result of automatic reinvestment of

S-71

dividends or capital gains paid. In addition, no CDSC will be charged on exchanges of shares into another Nuveen Mutual Fund. The holding period is calculated on a monthly basis and begins on the first day of the month in which the purchase was made. The CDSC is assessed on an amount equal to the lower of the then current market value or the cost of the shares being redeemed. Accordingly, no sales charge is imposed on increases of net asset value above the initial purchase price. The Distributor receives the amount of any CDSC shareholders pay.

The CDSC may be waived or reduced under the following circumstances: (i) in the event of total disability (as evidenced by a determination by the federal Social Security Administration) of the shareholder (including a registered joint owner) occurring after the purchase of the shares being redeemed; (ii) in the event of the death of the shareholder (including a registered joint owner); (iii) for redemptions made pursuant to a systematic withdrawal plan, up to 1% monthly, 3% quarterly, 6% semiannually or 12% annually of an account’s net asset value depending on the frequency of the plan as designated by the shareholder; (iv) involuntary redemptions caused by operation of law; (v) redemptions in connection with a payment of account or plan fees; (vi) redemptions in connection with the exercise of a reinstatement privilege whereby the proceeds of a redemption of a Fund’s shares subject to a sales charge are reinvested in shares of certain Funds within a specified number of days; (vii) redemptions in connection with the exercise of a Fund’s right to redeem all shares in an account that does not maintain a certain minimum balance or that the Board of Trustees has determined may have material adverse consequences to the shareholders of a Fund; (viii) in whole or in part for redemptions of shares by shareholders with accounts in excess of specified breakpoints that correspond to the breakpoints under which the up-front sales charge on Class A shares is reduced pursuant to Rule 22d-1 under the Act; (ix) redemptions of shares purchased under circumstances or by a category of investors for which Class A shares could be purchased at net asset value without a sales charge; (x) redemptions of Class A, Class B or Class C shares if the proceeds are transferred to an account managed by the Adviser and the Adviser refunds the advanced service and distribution fees to the Distributor; (xi) redemptions of Class C shares in cases where the Distributor did not advance the first year’s service and distribution fees when such shares were purchased; and (xii) redemptions of Class A shares where the Distributor did not pay a sales commission when such shares were purchased. If a Fund waives or reduces the CDSC, such waiver or reduction would be uniformly applied to all Fund shares in the particular category. In waiving or reducing a CDSC, the Funds will comply with the requirements of Rule 22d-1 under the 1940 Act.

Class I Shares

Class I shares also are available for purchase, with no minimum initial investment, by the following categories of investors:

•

advisory accounts of Nuveen Fund Advisors and its affiliates, including other Nuveen Mutual Funds whose investment policies permit investments in other investment companies;

S-72

•

current and former trustees/directors of any Nuveen Fund, and their immediate family members (“immediate family members” are defined as spouses or domestic partners, parents, children, grandparents, grandchildren, parents-in-law, sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, siblings, a sibling’s spouse and a spouse’s siblings);

•

officers, directors and former directors of Nuveen Investments and its affiliates, and their immediate family members;

•

full-time and retired employees of Nuveen Investments and its affiliates, and their immediate family members; and

•

any person who, for at least the last 90 days, has been an officer, director or employee of any financial intermediary, and their immediate family members.

Any shares purchased by investors falling within any of the last four categories listed above must be acquired for investment purposes and on the condition that they will not be transferred or resold except through redemption by a Fund.

Holders of Class I shares may purchase additional Class I shares using dividends and capital gains distributions on their shares. In addition, shareholders of Nuveen Defined Portfolios may reinvest their distributions in Class I shares, if, before September 6, 1994 (or before June 13, 1995 in the case of Nuveen Intermediate Duration Municipal Bond Fund), such shareholders had elected to reinvest distributions in Nuveen Mutual Fund shares.

If you are eligible to purchase either Class I shares or Class A shares without a sales charge at net asset value, you should be aware of the differences between these two classes of shares. Class A shares are subject to an annual service fee to compensate financial intermediaries for providing you with ongoing account services. Class I shares are not subject to a distribution or service fee and, consequently, holders of Class I shares may not receive the same types or levels of services from financial intermediaries. In choosing between Class A shares and Class I shares, you should weigh the benefits of the services to be provided by financial intermediaries against the annual service fee imposed upon the Class A shares.

Shareholder Programs

Exchange Privilege

You may exchange Fund shares into an identically registered account for the same class of another Nuveen Mutual Fund available in your state. Your exchange must meet the minimum purchase requirements of the fund into which you are exchanging. You may also, under certain limited circumstances, exchange between certain classes of shares of the same Fund. An exchange between classes of shares of the same Fund may not be considered a taxable event; please consult your own tax advisor for further information.

If you hold your shares directly with the Fund, you may exchange your shares by either sending a written request to the applicable Fund, c/o Nuveen Investor Services, P.O. Box 8530, Boston, Massachusetts 02266-8530 or by calling Nuveen Investor Services toll free at (800) 257-8787.

If you exchange shares between different Nuveen Mutual Funds and your shares are subject to a CDSC, no CDSC will be charged at the time of the exchange. However, if you subsequently redeem the shares acquired through the exchange, the redemption may be subject to a CDSC, depending on when you purchased your original shares and the CDSC schedule of the fund from which you exchanged your shares. If you exchange between classes of shares of the same Fund and your original shares are subject to a CDSC, the CDSC will be assessed at the time of the exchange.

For federal income tax purposes, an exchange between different Nuveen Mutual Funds constitutes a sale and purchase of shares and may result in capital gain or loss. Before making any exchange, you should obtain the Prospectus for the Nuveen Mutual Fund you are purchasing and read it carefully. If the registration of the account for the Fund you are purchasing is not exactly the same as that of the fund account from which the exchange is made, written instructions from all holders of the account from which the exchange is being made must be received, with signatures guaranteed by a member of an approved Medallion Signature Guarantee Program or in such other manner as may be acceptable to the Fund. You may also exchange shares by telephone if you authorize telephone

S-73

exchanges by checking the applicable box on the Application Form or by calling Nuveen Investor Services toll-free at (800) 257-8787 to obtain an authorization form. Each Fund reserves the right to revise or suspend the exchange privilege, limit the amount or number of exchanges, or reject any exchange. Shareholders will be provided with at least 60 days’ notice of any material revision to or termination of the exchange privilege.

The exchange privilege is not intended to permit a Fund to be used as a vehicle for short-term trading. Excessive exchange activity may interfere with portfolio management, raise expenses and otherwise have an adverse effect on all shareholders. In order to limit excessive exchange activity and in other circumstances where Fund management believes doing so would be in the best interest of the Fund, each Fund reserves the right to revise or terminate the exchange privilege, or limit the amount or number of exchanges or reject any exchange. Shareholders would be notified of any such action to the extent required by law. See “Frequent Trading Policy” below.

Reinstatement Privilege

If you redeemed Class A or Class C shares of a Fund or any other Nuveen Mutual Fund that were subject to a sales charge or a CDSC, you have up to one year to reinvest all or part of the full amount of the redemption in the same class of shares of the Fund at net asset value. The reinstatement privilege for Class B shares is no longer available. This reinstatement privilege can be exercised only once for any redemption, and reinvestment will be made at the net asset value next calculated after reinstatement of the appropriate class of Fund shares. If you reinstate shares that were subject to a CDSC, your holding period as of the redemption date also will be reinstated for purposes of calculating a CDSC and the CDSC paid at redemption will be refunded. The federal income tax consequences of any capital gain realized on a redemption will not be affected by reinstatement, but a capital loss may be disallowed in whole or in part depending on the timing, the amount of the reinvestment and the fund from which the redemption occurred.

Suspension of Right of Redemption

Each Fund may suspend the right of redemption of Fund shares or delay payment more than seven days (a) during any period when the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings), (b) when trading in the markets the Fund normally utilizes is restricted or an emergency exists as determined by the SEC so that trading of the Fund’s investments or determination of its net asset value is not reasonably practicable, or (c) for any other periods that the SEC by order may permit for protection of Fund shareholders.

Redemption In-Kind

The Funds have reserved the right to redeem in-kind (that is, to pay redemption requests in cash and portfolio securities, or wholly in portfolio securities). The Funds voluntarily have committed to pay in cash all requests for redemption by any shareholder, limited as to each shareholder during any 90-day period to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net asset value of a Fund at the beginning of the 90-day period.

Frequent Trading Policy

The Funds’ Frequent Trading Policy is as follows:

Nuveen Mutual Funds are intended as long-term investments and not as short-term trading vehicles. At the same time, the Funds recognize the need of investors to periodically make purchases and redemptions of Fund shares when rebalancing their portfolios and as their financial needs or circumstances change. Nuveen Mutual Funds have adopted the following Frequent Trading Policy that seeks to balance these needs against the potential for higher operating costs, portfolio management disruption and other inefficiencies that can be caused by excessive trading of Fund shares.

1. Definition of Round Trip

A Round Trip trade is the purchase and subsequent redemption of Fund shares, including by exchange. Each side of a Round Trip trade may be comprised of either a single transaction or a series of closely-spaced transactions.

S-74

2. Round Trip Trade Limitations

Nuveen Mutual Funds limit the frequency of Round Trip trades that may be placed in a Fund. Subject to certain exceptions noted below, the Funds limit an investor to four Round Trips per trailing 12-month period and may also restrict the trading privileges of an investor who makes a Round Trip within a 30-day period if the purchase and redemption are of substantially similar dollar amounts and represent at least 25% of the value of the investor’s account.

3. Enforcement

Trades placed in violation of the foregoing policies are subject to rejection or cancellation by Nuveen Mutual Funds. Nuveen Mutual Funds may also bar an investor (and/or the investor’s financial advisor) who has violated these policies from opening new accounts with the Funds and may restrict the investor’s existing account(s) to redemptions only. Nuveen Mutual Funds reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to (a) interpret the terms and application of these policies, (b) waive unintentional or minor violations (including transactions below certain dollar thresholds) if Nuveen Mutual Funds determine that doing so does not harm the interests of Fund shareholders, and (c) exclude certain classes of redemptions from the application of the trading restrictions set forth above.

Nuveen Mutual Funds reserve the right to impose restrictions on purchases or exchanges that are more restrictive than those stated above if they determine, in their sole discretion, that a proposed transaction or series of transactions involve market timing or excessive trading that is likely to be detrimental to the Funds. The Funds may also modify or suspend the Frequent Trading Policy without notice during periods of market stress or other unusual circumstances.

The ability of Nuveen Mutual Funds to implement the Frequent Trading Policy for omnibus accounts at certain financial intermediaries may be dependent on receiving from those intermediaries sufficient shareholder information to permit monitoring of trade activity and enforcement of the Funds’ Frequent Trading Policy. In addition, the Funds may rely on a financial intermediary’s policy to restrict market timing and excessive trading if the Funds believe that the policy is reasonably designed to prevent market timing that is detrimental to the Funds. Such policy may be more or less restrictive than the Funds’ Policy. The Funds cannot ensure that these financial intermediaries will in all cases apply the Funds’ policy or their own policies, as the case may be, to accounts under their control.

Exclusions from the Frequent Trading Policy

As stated above, certain redemptions are eligible for exclusion from the Frequent Trading Policy, including: (i) redemptions or exchanges by shareholders investing through the fee-based platforms of certain financial intermediaries (where the intermediary charges an asset-based or comprehensive “wrap” fee for its services) that are effected by the financial intermediaries in connection with systematic portfolio rebalancing; (ii) when there is a verified trade error correction, which occurs when a dealer firm sends a trade to correct an earlier trade made in error and then the firm sends an explanation to the Nuveen Mutual Funds confirming that the trade is actually an error correction; (iii) in the event of total disability (as evidenced by a determination by the federal Social Security Administration) of the shareholder (including a registered joint owner) occurring after the purchase of the shares being redeemed; (iv) in the event of the death of the shareholder (including a registered joint owner); (v) redemptions made pursuant to a systematic withdrawal plan, up to 1% monthly, 3% quarterly, 6% semiannually or 12% annually of an account’s net asset value depending on the frequency of the plan as designated by the shareholder; (vi) redemptions of shares that were purchased through a systematic investment program; (vii) involuntary redemptions caused by operation of law; (viii) redemptions in connection with a payment of account or plan fees; (ix) redemptions or exchanges by any “fund of funds” advised by the Adviser; and (x) redemptions in connection with the exercise of a Fund’s right to redeem all shares in an account that does not maintain a certain minimum balance or that the applicable board has determined may have material adverse consequences to the shareholders of a Fund.

In addition, the following redemptions of shares by an employer-sponsored qualified defined contribution retirement plan are excluded from the Frequent Trading Policy: (i) partial or complete redemptions in connection with a distribution without penalty under Section 72(t) of the Code from a retirement plan: (a) upon attaining age 59 ¹ / ₂ ; (b) as part of a series of substantially equal periodic

payments; or (c) upon separation from service and attaining age 55; (ii) partial or complete redemptions in connection with a qualifying loan or hardship withdrawal; (iii) complete redemptions in connection with termination of employment, plan termination, transfer to another employer’s plan or IRA or changes in a plan’s recordkeeper; and (iv) redemptions resulting from the return of an excess contribution. Also, the following redemptions of shares held in an IRA account are excluded from the application of the Frequent Trading Policy: (i) redemptions made pursuant to an IRA systematic withdrawal based on the shareholder’s life expectancy including, but not limited to, substantially equal periodic payments described in Code Section 72(t)(A)(iv) prior to age 59 ¹ / ₂ ; and (ii) redemptions to satisfy required minimum distributions after age 70 ¹ / ₂ from an IRA account.

Distribution and Service Plans

The Trust

Nuveen All-American Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen High Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Inflation Protected Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Intermediate Duration Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen Limited Term Municipal Bond Fund have adopted a plan (the “ Plan ”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which Class B and Class C shares are subject to an annual distribution fee and Class A, Class B and Class C shares are subject to an annual service fee. Each Fund may spend up to 0.20% per year of the average daily net assets of Class A shares as a service fee under the Plan as applicable to Class A shares. Each Fund may spend up to 0.75% per year of the average daily net assets of the Class B shares and 0.55% per year of the average daily net assets of Class C shares as a distribution fee and up to 0.20% per year of the average daily net assets of each of the Class B and Class C shares as a service fee under the Plan as applicable to such classes. Class I shares are not subject to either distribution or service fees. Distribution and service fees collectively are referred to herein as “12b-1 fees.”

The distribution fee applicable to Class B and Class C shares under each Fund’s Plan compensates the Distributor for expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These expenses include payments to financial intermediaries, including the Distributor, who are brokers of record with respect to the Class B and Class C shares, as well as, without limitation, expenses of printing and distributing Prospectuses to persons other than shareholders of each Fund, expenses of preparing, printing and distributing advertising and sales literature and reports to shareholders used in connection with the sale of Class B and Class C shares, certain other expenses associated with the distribution of Class B and Class C shares, and any other distribution-related expenses that may be authorized from time to time by the Board of Trustees.

The service fee applicable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares under each Fund’s Plan is used to compensate financial intermediaries in connection with the provision of ongoing account services to shareholders. These services may include establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts, answering shareholder inquiries and providing other personal services to shareholders.

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, the Funds incurred 12b-1 fees pursuant to their respective Plan in the amounts set forth in the table below. For this period, substantially all of the 12b-1 service fees on Class A shares were paid out as compensation to financial intermediaries for providing services to shareholders relating to their investments. To compensate for commissions advanced to financial intermediaries, all 12b-1 service fees collected on Class B shares during the first year following a purchase, all 12b-1 distribution fees on Class B shares, and all 12b-1 fees on Class C shares during the first year following a purchase are retained by the Distributor. After the first year following a purchase, 12b-1 service fees on Class B shares and 12b-1 fees on Class C shares are paid to financial intermediaries.

Under each Fund’s Plan, the Fund will report quarterly to the Board of Trustees for its review all amounts expended per class of shares under the Plan. The Plan may be terminated at any time with respect to any class of shares, without the payment of any penalty, by a vote of a majority of the independent trustees who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the Plan or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such class. The Plan may be renewed from year to year if approved by a vote of the Board of Trustees and a vote of the independent trustees who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the Plan cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Plan. The Plan may be continued only if the trustees who vote to approve such continuance conclude, in the exercise of reasonable business judgment and in light of their fiduciary duties under applicable law, that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit the Fund and its shareholders. The Plan may not be amended to increase materially the cost which a class of shares may bear under the Plan without the approval of the shareholders of the affected class, and any other material amendments of the Plan must be approved by the independent trustees by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such amendments. During the continuance of the Plan, the selection and nomination of the independent trustees of the Trust will be committed to the discretion of the independent trustees then in office. With the exception of the Distributor and its affiliates, no “interested person” of the Funds, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, and no trustee of the Funds has a direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan or any related agreement.

NIF

NIF has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan with respect to the Class A and Class C shares of Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “ Plan ”). Rule 12b-1 provides in substance that a mutual fund may not engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity which is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares, except pursuant to a plan adopted under the Rule. The Plan authorizes the Fund to pay the Distributor distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees on the Fund’s Class A and Class C shares as described below. The distribution fees under the Plan are used for primary purpose of compensating participating intermediaries for their sales of the Fund. The shareholder servicing fees are used primarily for the purpose of providing compensation for the ongoing servicing and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts.

The Class A shares pay to the Distributor a shareholder servicing fee at an annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. The fee may be used by the Distributor to provide compensation for shareholder servicing activities with respect to the Class A shares. The shareholder servicing fee is intended to compensate the Distributor for ongoing servicing and/or maintenance of

S-77

shareholder accounts and may be used by the Distributor to provide compensation to participating intermediaries through whom shareholders hold their shares for ongoing servicing and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts. This fee is calculated and paid each month based on average daily net assets of Class A shares of the Fund for that month.

The Class C shares pay to the Distributor a shareholder servicing fee at the annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets of the Class C shares. The fee may be used by the Distributor to provide compensation for shareholder servicing activities with respect to the Class C shares. This fee is calculated and paid each month based on average daily net assets of the Class C shares. The Class C shares pay to the Distributor a distribution fee at an annual rate of 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Class C shares. The Distributor may use the distribution fee to provide compensation to participating intermediaries through which shareholders hold their shares beginning one year after purchase.

The Distributor receives no compensation for distribution of the Class I shares.

The Plan is a “compensation-type” plan under which the Distributor is entitled to receive the distribution and shareholder servicing fees regardless of whether its actual distribution and shareholder servicing expenses are more or less than the amount of the fees. It is therefore possible that the Distributor may realize a profit in a particular year as a result of these payments. The Plan recognizes that the Distributor and the Adviser, in their discretion, may from time to time use their own assets to pay for certain additional costs of distributing Class A and Class C shares. Any such arrangements to pay such additional costs may be commenced or discontinued by the Distributor or the Adviser at any time. With the exception of the Distributor and its affiliates, no “interested person” of NIF, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, and no director of NIF has a direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan or any related agreement.

Under the Plan, the Fund’s Treasurer reports the amounts expended under the Plan and the purposes for which such expenditures were made to the Board of Directors for their review on a quarterly basis. The Plan provides that it will continue in effect for a period of more than one year from the date of its execution only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the vote of a majority of the Board members of NIF and by the vote of the majority of those Board members of NIF who are not “interested persons” (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) of NIF and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan or in any agreement related to such plan.

The Fund paid the following 12b-1 fees to the Distributor for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 with respect to the Class A and C shares of the Fund. As noted above, no 12b-1 fees are paid with respect to Class I shares.


	12b-1 Fees Incurred by the Fund for the Fiscal Year Ended April 30, 2012
Nuveen Short Term Municipal Bond Fund:
Class A	$	36,729
Class C*		781

For the period August 31, 2011 (commencement of class operations) through April 30, 2012.

If the Fund closes to new investors, it may continue to make payments under the Plan. Such payments would be made for the various services provided to existing shareholders by the Participating Intermediaries receiving such payments.

General Matters

The Funds have authorized one or more brokers to accept on their behalf purchase and redemption orders. Such brokers are authorized to designate other intermediaries to accept purchase and redemption orders on the Funds’ behalf. The Funds will be deemed to have received a purchase

S-78

or redemption order when an authorized broker or, if applicable, a broker’s authorized designee accepts the order. Customer orders received by such broker (or their designee) will be priced at the applicable Fund’s net asset value next computed after they are accepted by an authorized broker (or their designee). Orders accepted by an authorized broker (or their designee) before the close of regular trading on the NYSE will receive that day’s share price; orders accepted after the close of trading will receive the next business day’s share price.

If you choose to invest in a Fund, an account will be opened and maintained for you by Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (“ BFDS ”), the Funds’ shareholder services agent. Shares will be registered in the name of the investor or the investor’s financial advisor. A change in registration or transfer of shares held in the name of a financial advisor may only be made by an order in good standing form from the financial advisor acting on the investor’s behalf. Each Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase order and to waive or increase minimum investment requirements.

The Funds do not issue share certificates. For certificated shares previously issued, a fee of 1% of the current market value will be charged if the certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed. The fee is paid to Seaboard Surety Company for insurance of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate.

Distribution Arrangements

The Distributor serves as the principal underwriter of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a “best efforts” arrangement as provided by distribution agreements with the Registrants (the “ Distribution Agreement s”). Pursuant to the Distribution Agreements, the Registrants appointed the Distributor to be their agent for the distribution of the Funds’ shares on a continuous offering basis. The Distributor sells shares to or through brokers, dealers, banks or other qualified financial intermediaries (collectively referred to as “ Dealers ”), or others, in a manner consistent with the then effective registration statement of the Registrants. Pursuant to the Distribution Agreements, the Distributor, at its own expense, finances certain activities incident to the sale and distribution of the Funds’ shares, including printing and distributing of prospectuses and statements of additional information to other than existing shareholders, the printing and distributing of sales literature, advertising and payment of compensation and giving of concessions to Dealers.

The Distributor receives for its services the excess, if any, of the sales price of a Fund’s shares less the net asset value of those shares, and reallows a majority or all of such amounts to the Dealers who sold the shares. The Distributor also receives distribution fees pursuant to a distribution plan adopted by each Registrant pursuant to Rule 12b-1 and described herein under “Distribution and Service Plans.” The Distributor also receives any CDSCs imposed on redemptions of shares, but any amounts as to which a reinstatement privilege is not exercised are set off against and reduce amounts otherwise payable to the Distributor pursuant to the distribution plan. The Distributor may also act as a dealer.

To help financial advisors and investors better understand and more efficiently use the Funds to reach their investment goals, the Distributor may advertise and create specific investment programs

S-80

and systems. For example, this may include information on how to use the Funds to accumulate assets for future education needs or periodic payments such as insurance premiums. The Distributor may produce software, electronic information sites or additional sales literature to promote the advantages of using the Funds to meet these and other specific investor needs. In addition, wholesale representatives of the Distributor may visit financial advisors on a regular basis to educate them about the Funds and to encourage the sale of Fund shares to their clients. The costs and expenses associated with these efforts may include travel, lodging, sponsorship at educational seminars and conferences, entertainment and meals to the extent permitted by law. Nuveen wholesalers may receive additional compensation if they meet certain targets for sales of one or more Nuveen Mutual Funds

Additional Payments to Financial Intermediaries and Other Payments

In addition to the sales charge payments and the distribution, service and transfer agency fees described in the Prospectuses and elsewhere in this SAI, the Adviser and/or the Distributor may make additional payments out of its own assets to selected intermediaries that sell shares of the Nuveen Mutual Funds (such as brokers, dealers, banks, registered investment advisers, retirement plan administrators and other intermediaries; hereinafter, individually, “ Intermediary ,” and collectively, “ Intermediaries ”) under the categories described below for the purposes of promoting the sale of Fund shares, maintaining share balances and/or for sub-accounting, administrative or shareholder processing services.

The amounts of these payments could be significant and may create an incentive for an Intermediary or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the Nuveen Mutual Funds to its customers. The Intermediary may elevate the prominence or profile of the Funds within the Intermediary’s organization by, for example, placing the Funds on a list of preferred or recommended funds and/or granting the Adviser and/or the Distributor preferential or enhanced opportunities to promote the Funds in various ways within the Intermediary’s organization.

These payments are made pursuant to negotiated agreements with Intermediaries. The payments do not change the price paid by investors for the purchase of a share or the amount a Fund will receive as proceeds from such sales. Furthermore, these payments are not reflected in the fees and expenses listed in the fee table section of the Funds’ Prospectuses and described above because they are not paid by the Funds.

The categories of payments described below are not mutually exclusive, and a single Intermediary may receive payments under all categories.

The Adviser and/or the Distributor may also make other additional payments out of its own assets as described under “Other Payments” below.

Marketing Support Payments and Program Servicing Payments

The Adviser and/or the Distributor may make payments for marketing support and/or program servicing to selected Intermediaries that are registered as holders or dealers of record for accounts invested in one or more of the Nuveen Mutual Funds or that make Nuveen Mutual Fund shares available through employee benefit plans or fee-based advisory programs to compensate them for the variety of services they provide.

Marketing Support Payments . Services for which an Intermediary receives marketing support payments may include business planning assistance, advertising, educating the Intermediary’s personnel about the Nuveen Mutual Funds in connection with shareholder financial planning needs, placement on the Intermediary’s preferred or recommended fund company list, and access to sales meetings, sales representatives and management representatives of the Intermediary. In addition, Intermediaries may be compensated for enabling representatives of the Adviser and/or the Distributor to participate in and/or present at conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited registered representatives and other employees, client and investor events and other events sponsored by the Intermediary.

The Adviser and/or the Distributor compensate Intermediaries differently depending upon, among other factors, the number or value of Nuveen Mutual Funds shares that the Intermediary sells

S-81

or may sell, the value of the assets invested in the Nuveen Mutual Funds by the Intermediary’s customers, redemption rates, ability to attract and retain assets, reputation in the industry and the level and/or type of marketing assistance and educational activities provided by the Intermediary. Such payments are generally asset-based but also may include the payment of a lump sum.

Program Servicing Payments . Services for which an Intermediary receives program servicing payments typically include recordkeeping, reporting, or transaction processing, but may also include services rendered in connection with fund/investment selection and monitoring, employee enrollment and education, plan balance rollover or separation, or other similar services. An Intermediary may perform program services itself or may arrange with a third party to perform program services.

Program servicing payments typically apply to employee benefit plans, such as retirement plans, or fee-based advisory programs but may apply to retail sales and assets in certain situations. The payments are based on such factors as the type and nature of services or support furnished by the Intermediary and are generally asset-based.

Marketing Support and Program Servicing Payment Guidelines . In the case of any one Intermediary, marketing support and program servicing payments are not expected, with certain limited exceptions, to exceed, in the aggregate, 0.35% of the average net assets of Fund shares attributable to that Intermediary on an annual basis. In connection with the sale of a business by U.S. Bank N.A. to Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (“ Great-West ”), the Adviser and/or the Distributor has a services agreement with GWFS Equities, Inc., an affiliate of Great-West, which provides for payments of up to 0.60% of the average net assets of Fund shares attributable to GWFS Equities, Inc. on an annual basis.

Other Payments

From time to time, the Adviser and/or the Distributor, at its expense, may provide other compensation to Intermediaries that sell or arrange for the sale of shares of the Funds, which may be in addition to marketing support and program servicing payments described above. For example, the Adviser and/or the Distributor may: (i) compensate Intermediaries for National Securities Clearing Corporation networking system services (e.g., shareholder communication, account statements, trade confirmations, and tax reporting) on an asset-based or per account basis; (ii) compensate Intermediaries for providing Fund shareholder trading information; (iii) make one-time or periodic payments to reimburse selected Intermediaries for items such as ticket charges (i.e., fees that an Intermediary charges its representatives for effecting transactions in Fund shares) of up to $25 per purchase or exchange order, operational charges (e.g., fees that an Intermediary charges for establishing a Fund on its trading system), and literature printing and/or distribution costs; and (iv) at the direction of a retirement plan’s sponsor, reimburse or pay direct expenses of an employee benefit plan that would otherwise be payable by the plan.

When not provided for in a marketing support or program servicing agreement, the Adviser and/or the Distributor may pay Intermediaries for enabling the Adviser and/or the Distributor to participate in and/or present at conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited registered representatives and other Intermediary employees, client and investor events and other Intermediary-sponsored events, and for travel expenses, including lodging incurred by registered representatives and other employees in connection with prospecting, asset retention and due diligence trips. These payments may vary depending upon the nature of the event. The Adviser and/or the Distributor make payments for such events as they deem appropriate, subject to its internal guidelines and applicable law.

The Adviser and/or the Distributor occasionally sponsors due diligence meetings for registered representatives during which they receive updates on various Nuveen Mutual Funds and are afforded the opportunity to speak with portfolio managers. Although invitations to these meetings are not conditioned on selling a specific number of shares, those who have shown an interest in Nuveen Mutual Funds are more likely to be considered. To the extent permitted by their firm’s policies and procedures, all or a portion of registered representatives’ expenses in attending these meetings may be covered by the Adviser and/or the Distributor.

S-82

Representatives of the Distributor or its affiliates may receive additional compensation from the Adviser and/or the Distributor if certain targets are met for sales of one or more Nuveen Mutual Funds. Such compensation may vary by Fund and by Intermediary.

Other compensation may be offered to the extent not prohibited by state laws or any self-regulatory agency, such as FINRA. Investors can ask their Intermediary for information about any payments it receives from the Adviser and/or the Distributor and the services it provides for those payments.

Investors may wish to take Intermediary payment arrangements into account when considering and evaluating any recommendations relating to Fund shares.

APPENDIX A

RATING OF INVESTMENTS

Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group —A brief description of the applicable Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) rating symbols and their meanings (as published by S&P) follows:

Issue Credit Ratings

A S&P issue credit rating is a forward-looking opinion about the creditworthiness of an obligor with respect to a specific financial obligation, a specific class of financial obligations, or a specific financial program (including ratings on medium-term note programs and commercial paper programs). It takes into consideration the creditworthiness of guarantors, insurers, or other forms of credit enhancement on the obligation and takes into account the currency in which the obligation is denominated.

The opinion reflects S&P’s view of the obligor’s capacity and willingness to meet its financial commitments as they come due, and may assess terms, such as collateral security and subordination, which could affect ultimate payment in the event of default.

Issue credit ratings can be either long term or short term. Short-term ratings are generally assigned to those obligations considered short-term in the relevant market. In the U.S., for example, that means obligations with an original maturity of no more than 365 days—including commercial paper. Short-term ratings are also used to indicate the creditworthiness of an obligor with respect to put features on long-term obligations. The result is a dual rating, in which the short-term rating addresses the put feature, in addition to the usual long-term rating. Medium-term notes are assigned long-term ratings.

Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings

Issue credit ratings are based, in varying degrees, on S&P’s analysis of the following considerations:

1. Likelihood of payment—capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on an obligation in accordance with the terms of the obligation;

2. Nature of and provisions of the obligation;

3. Protection afforded by, and relative position of, the obligation in the event of bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under the laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors’ rights.

Issue rating are an assessment of default risk, but may incorporate an assessment of relative seniority or ultimate recovery in the event of default. Junior obligations are typically rated lower than senior obligations, to reflect the lower priority in bankruptcy, as noted above. (Such differentiation may apply when an entity has both senior and subordinated obligations, secured and unsecured obligations, or operating company and holding company obligations.)

AAA	An obligation rated ‘AAA’ has the highest rating assigned by S&P. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is extremely strong.

AA	An obligation rated ‘AA’ differs from the highest rated obligations only to a small degree. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong.

A	An obligation rated ‘A’ is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still strong.

BBB	An obligation rated ‘BBB’ exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

Obligations rated ‘BB’, ‘B’, ‘CCC’, ‘CC’, and ‘C’ are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. ‘BB’ indicates the least degree of speculation and ‘C’ the highest. While such

A-1

obligations will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions.

An obligation rated ‘BB’ is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

An obligation rated ‘B’ is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated ‘BB’, but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor’s capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

CCC

An obligation rated ‘CCC’ is currently vulnerable to nonpayment, and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

CC	An obligation rated ‘CC’ is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.

A ‘C’ rating is assigned to obligations that are currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment, obligations that have payment arrearages allowed by the terms of the documents, or obligations of an issuer that is the subject of a bankruptcy petition or similar action which have not experienced a payment default. Among others, the ‘C’ rating may be assigned to subordinated debt, preferred stock or other obligations on which cash payments have been suspended in accordance with the instrument’s terms or when preferred stock is the subject of a distressed exchange offer, whereby some or all of the issue is either repurchased for an amount of cash or replaced by other instruments having a total value that is less than par.

An obligation rated ‘D’ is in payment default. The ‘D’ rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due unless S&P believes that such payments will be made within five business days, irrespective of any grace period. The ‘D’ rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized. An obligation’s rating is lowered to ‘D’ upon completion of a distressed exchange offer, whereby some or all of the issue is either repurchased for an amount of cash or replaced by other instruments having a total value that is less than par.

Plus (+) or Minus (–): The ratings from ‘AA’ to ‘CCC’ may be modified by the addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.

NR	This indicates that no rating has been requested, that there is insufficient information on which to base a rating, or that S&P does not rate a particular obligation as a matter of policy.

Municipal Short-Term Note Ratings

A S&P U.S. municipal note rating reflects S&P’s opinion about the liquidity factors and market access risks unique to the notes. Notes due in three years or less will likely receive a note rating. Notes with an original maturity of more than three years will most likely receive a long-term debt rating. In determining which type of rating, if any, to assign, S&P’s analysis will review the following considerations:

•

Amortization schedule–the larger the final maturity relative to other maturities, the more likely it will be treated as a note; and

•

Source of payment–the more dependent the issue is on the market for its refinancing, the more likely it will be treated as a note.

Note rating symbols are as follows:

SP-1	Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue determined to possess a very strong capacity to pay debt service is given a plus (+) designation.

A-2

SP-2	Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the notes.

SP-3	Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.

Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. —A brief description of the applicable Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) rating symbols and their meanings (as published by Moody’s) follows:

Long-Term Obligation Ratings

Aaa	Obligations rated Aaa are judged to be of the highest quality, with minimal credit risk.

Aa	Obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.

A	Obligations rated A are considered upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.

Baa	Obligations rated Baa are judged to be medium-grade and subject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics.

Ba	Obligations rated Ba are judged to be speculative and are subject to substantial credit risk.

B	Obligations rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk.

Caa	Obligations rated Caa are judged to be speculative of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.

Ca	Obligations rated Ca are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and interest.

C	Obligations rated C are the lowest rated and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest.

Note: Moody’s appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification from Aaa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category.

Medium-Term Note Program Ratings

Moody’s assigns provisional ratings to medium-term note (MTN) programs and definitive ratings to the individual debt securities issued from them (referred to as drawdowns or notes).

MTN program ratings are intended to reflect the ratings likely to be assigned to drawdowns issued from the program with the specified priority of claim (e.g. senior or subordinated). To capture the contingent nature of a program rating, Moody’s assigns provisional ratings to MTN programs. A provisional rating is denoted by a (P) in front of the rating.

The rating assigned to a drawdown from a rated MTN program or bank/deposit note program is definitive in nature, and may differ from the program rating if the drawdown is exposed to additional credit risks besides the issuer’s default, such as links to the defaults of other issuers, or has other structural features that warrant a different rating. In some circumstances, no rating may be assigned to a drawdown.

Moody’s encourages market participants to contact Moody’s Ratings Desks or visit www.moodys.com directly if they have questions regarding ratings for specific notes issued under a medium-term note program. Unrated notes issued under an MTN program may be assigned an NR (not rated) symbol.

U.S. Municipal Short-Term Debt and Demand Obligation Ratings

Short-Term Obligation Ratings

The Municipal Investment Grade (MIG) scale is used to rate US municipal bond anticipation notes of up to three years maturity. Municipal notes rated on the MIG scale may be secured by either pledged revenues or proceeds of a take-out financing received prior to note maturity. MIG ratings expire at the maturity of the obligation, and the issuer’s long-term rating is only one consideration in assigning the MIG rating. MIG ratings are divided into three levels—MIG 1 through MIG 3—while speculative grade short-term obligations are designated SG.

A-3

MIG 1

This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support, or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.

MIG 2

This designation denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample, although not as large as in the preceding group.

MIG 3

This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Liquidity and cash-flow protection may be narrow, and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well-established.

SG	This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this category may lack sufficient margins of protection.

Demand Obligation Ratings

In the case of variable rate demand obligations (VRDOs), a two-component rating is assigned; a long or short-term debt rating and a demand obligation rating. The first element represents Moody’s evaluation of risk associated with scheduled principal and interest payments. The second element represents Moody’s evaluation of risk associated with the ability to receive purchase price upon demand ( “demand feature” ). The second element uses a rating from a variation of the MIG scale called the Variable Municipal Investment Grade (VMIG) scale.

When either the long-or short-term aspect of a VRDO is not rated, that piece is designated NR, e.g., Aaa/NR or NR/VMIG-1.

VMIG 1

This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by the superior short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections that ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.

VMIG 2

This designation denotes strong credit quality. Good protection is afforded by the strong short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections that ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.

VMIG 3

This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Adequate protection is afforded by the satisfactory short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections that ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.

This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Demand features rated in this category may be supported by a liquidity provider that does not have an investment grade short-term rating or may lack the structural and/or legal protections necessary to ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.

Fitch Ratings —A brief description of the applicable Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) ratings symbols and meanings (as published by Fitch) follows:

Structured, Project & Public Finance Obligations—Long-Term Rating Scales

Ratings of structured finance, project finance and public finance obligations on the long-term scale, including the financial obligations of sovereigns, consider the obligations’ relative vulnerability to default. These ratings are typically assigned to an individual security or tranche in a transaction and not to an issuer.

AAA	Highest credit quality. ‘AAA’ ratings denote the lowest expectation of default risk. They are assigned only in cases of exceptionally strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.

AA	Very high credit quality. ‘AA’ ratings denote expectations of very low default risk. They indicate very strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.

A	High credit quality. ‘A’ ratings denote expectations of low default risk. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.

A-4

BBB	Good credit quality. ‘BBB’ ratings indicate that expectations of default risk are currently low. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered adequate but adverse business or economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity.

BB	Speculative. ‘BB’ ratings indicate an elevated vulnerability to default risk, particularly in the event of adverse changes in business or economic conditions over time.

B	Highly speculative. ‘B’ ratings indicate that material default risk is present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are currently being met; however, capacity for continued payment is vulnerable to deterioration in the business and economic environment.

CCC	Substantial credit risk. Default is a real possibility.

CC	Very high levels of credit risk. Default of some kind appears probable.

C	Exceptionally high levels of credit risk. Default appears imminent or inevitable.

D	Default. Indicates a default. Default generally is defined as one of the following:

•

failure to make payment of principal and/or interest under the contractual terms of the rated obligation;

•

the bankruptcy filings, administration, receivership, liquidation or other winding-up or cessation of the business of an issuer/obligor; or

•

the distressed exchange of an obligation, where creditors were offered securities with diminished structural or economic terms compared with the existing obligation to avoid a probable payment default.

Notes: In the case of structured and project finance, while the ratings do not address the loss severity given default of the rated liability, loss severity assumptions on the underlying assets are nonetheless typically included as part of the analysis. Loss severity assumptions are used to derive pool cash flows available to service the rated liability.

The suffix “sf’’ denotes an issue that is a structured finance transaction. For an explanation of how Fitch determines structured finance ratings, please see our criteria available at www.Fitchratings.com.

In the case of public finance, the ratings do not address the loss given default of the rated liability, focusing instead on the vulnerability to default of the rated liability.

The modifiers “+” or “-” may be appended to a rating to denote relative status within major rating categories. Such suffixes are not added to the ‘AAA’ Long-Term Rating category, or categories below ‘B’.

Limitations of the Structured, Project and Public Finance Obligation Rating Scale

Specific limitations relevant to the structured, project and public finance obligation rating scale include:

•

The ratings do not predict a specific percentage of default likelihood over any given time period.

•

The ratings do not opine on the market value of any issuer’s securities or stock, or the likelihood that this value may change.

•

The ratings do not opine on the liquidity of the issuer’s securities or stock.

•

The ratings do not opine on the possible loss severity on an obligation should an obligation default.

•

The ratings do not opine on any quality related to a transaction’s profile other than the agency’s opinion on the relative vulnerability to default of each rated tranche or security.

A-5

Short-Term Ratings Assigned to Issuers or Obligations in Corporate, Public and Structured Finance

A short-term issuer or obligation rating is based in all cases on the short-term vulnerability to default of the rated entity or security stream and relates to the capacity to meet financial obligations in accordance with the documentation governing the relevant obligation. Short-Term Ratings are assigned to obligations whose initial maturity is viewed as “short term” based on market convention. Typically, this means up to 13 months for corporate, sovereign, and structured obligations, and up to 36 months for obligations in U.S. public finance markets.

F1	Highest short-term credit quality. Indicates the strongest intrinsic capacity for timely payment of financial commitments; may have an added “+” to denote any exceptionally strong credit feature.

F2	Good short-term credit quality. Good intrinsic capacity for timely payment of financial commitments.

F3	Fair short-term credit quality. The intrinsic capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is adequate.

B	Speculative short-term credit quality. Minimal capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, plus heightened vulnerability to near term adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.

C	High short-term default risk. Default is a real possibility.

RD	Restricted default. Indicates an entity that has defaulted on one or more of its financial commitments, although it continues to meet other financial obligations. Applicable to entity ratings only.

D	Default. Indicates a broad-based default event for an entity, or the default of a short-term obligation.

Limitations of the Short-Term Ratings Scale

Specific limitations relevant to the Short-Term Ratings scale include:

•

The ratings do not predict a specific percentage of default likelihood over any given time period.

•

The ratings do not opine on the market value of any issuer’s securities or stock, or the likelihood that this value may change.

•

The ratings do not opine on the liquidity of the issuer’s securities or stock.

•

The ratings do not opine on the possible loss severity on an obligation should an obligation default.

•

The ratings do not opine on any quality related to an issuer or transaction’s profile other than the agency’s opinion on the relative vulnerability to default of the rated issuer or obligation.

Ratings assigned by Fitch Ratings articulate an opinion on discrete and specific areas of risk. The above list is not exhaustive, and is provided for the reader’s convenience.

Item 29. Persons Controlled by or under Common Control with Fund

Not applicable.

Item 30. Indemnification

The Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that each present or former director, officer, agent and employee of the Registrant or any predecessor or constituent corporation, and each person who, at the request of the Registrant, serves or served another business enterprise in any such capacity, and the heirs and personal representatives of each of the foregoing shall be indemnified by the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by law against all expenses, including without limitation amounts of judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, and costs of litigation, which shall necessarily or reasonably be incurred by him or her in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which he or she was, is or shall be a party, or with which he or she may be threatened, by reason of his or her being or having been a director, officer, agent or employee of the Registrant or such predecessor or constituent corporation or such business enterprise, whether or not he or she continues to be such at the time of incurring such expenses. Such indemnification may include without limitation the purchase of insurance and advancement of any expenses, and the Registrant shall be empowered to enter into agreements to limit the liability of directors and officers of the Registrant. No indemnification shall be made in violation of the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland or the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws further provide that no director or officer of the Registrant shall be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for money damages, except (i) to the extent that it is proved that such director or officer actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services, for the amount of the benefit or profit in money, property or services actually received, or (ii) to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such director or officer is entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that such director’s or officer’s action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding. The foregoing shall not be construed to protect or purport to protect any director or officer of the Registrant against any liability to the Registrant or its stockholders to which such director or officer would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such office. The Registrant undertakes that no indemnification or advance will be made unless it is consistent with Sections 17(h) or 17(i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as now enacted or hereafter amended, and Securities and Exchange Commission rules, regulations, and releases (including, without limitation, Investment Company Act of 1940 Release No. 11330, September 2, 1980).

C-3

The trustees and officers of the Registrant are covered by Investment Trust Errors and Omission policies in the aggregate amount of $70,000,000 (with a $2,500,000 deductible for operational failures (after the deductible is satisfied, the insurer would cover 80% of any operational failure claims and the Fund would be liable for 20% of any such claims) and $1,000,000 for all other claims) against liability and expenses of claims of wrongful acts arising out of their position with the Registrant, except for matters which involved willful acts, bad faith, gross negligence and willful disregard of duty (i.e., where the insured did not act in good faith for a purpose he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the Registrant or where he or she shall have had reasonable cause to believe this conduct was unlawful).

Insofar as the indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “1933 Act”) may be permitted to the officers, directors or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by an officer or director or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such officer, director or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The Complex-Level Fee for each Fund shall be computed by applying the Complex-Level Fee Rate (as applied to a specific Fund, the “Fund-Specific Complex-Level Fee Rate”), expressed as a daily equivalent, to the daily net assets of the Fund. The Complex-Level Fee Rate shall be determined based upon the total daily net assets of all Eligible Funds, as defined below (with such daily net assets to include – in the case of Eligible Funds whose advisory fees are calculated by reference to net assets that include net assets attributable to preferred stock issued by or borrowings by the Eligible Fund – such leveraging net assets), pursuant to the annual fee schedule shown below in this section, with the following exclusions (as adjusted, “Complex-Level Assets”):

(i)

in the case of Eligible Funds that invest in other Eligible Funds (“Funds of Funds”), that portion of the net assets of such Funds of Funds attributable to investments in such other Eligible Funds;

(ii)

that portion of the net assets of each Eligible Fund comprising the daily “Fund Asset Limit Amount” (as defined below).

The Complex-Level Fee Rate shall be calculated in such a manner that it results in the effective rate at the specified Complex-Level Asset amounts shown in the following annual fee schedule:


Complex-Level Asset Breakpoint Level ($ billion)		Effective Rate at Breakpoint Level (%)
55		0.2000
56		0.1996
57		0.1989
60		0.1961

125		0.1599
200		0.1505
250		0.1469
300		0.1445

“Eligible Funds,” for purposes of the Agreement, shall mean all Nuveen-branded closed-end and open-end registered investment companies organized in the United States. Any open-end or closed-end funds that subsequently become a Nuveen-branded fund because either (a) Nuveen Investments, Inc. or its affiliates acquire the investment adviser to such funds (or the adviser’s parent), or (b) Nuveen Investments, Inc. or its affiliates acquire the fund’s adviser’s rights under the management agreement for such fund (in either case, such acquisition an “Acquisition” and such fund an “Acquired Fund”), will be evaluated by both Nuveen management and the Nuveen Funds’ Board, on a case-by-case basis, as to whether or not the assets of such Acquired Funds would be included in Complex-Level Assets and, if so, whether there would be a basis for any adjustments to the complex-level breakpoint schedule and/or its application.

The “Fund Asset Limit Amount” as of any calculation date shall for each Fund be equal to the lesser of (i) the Initial Fund Asset Limit Amount (defined below), and (ii) the Eligible Fund’s current net assets. The “Initial Fund Asset Limit Amount” for an Eligible Fund shall be determined as follows:

In the case of Nuveen-branded Funds that qualified as Eligible Funds on or prior to June 30, 2010, as well as Eligible Funds launched thereafter that are not Acquired Funds, the Initial Fund Asset Limit Amount shall be equal to zero, except to extent that such Fund may later participate in a subsequent Fund consolidation as described in (iii) below.

ii.

In the case of Acquired Funds, the Initial Fund Asset Limit Amount is equal to the product of (i) 1 minus the Aggregate Eligible Asset Percentage (defined below), and (ii) an Acquired Fund’s net assets as of the effective date of such Fund’s Acquisition.

B-3

iii.

In the event of a consolidation or merger of one or more Eligible Funds, the Initial Fund Asset Limit Amount of the combined fund will be equal to the sum of the Initial Fund Asset Limit Amounts of each individual Eligible Fund.

Following are additional definitions of terms used above:

“Acquisition Assets”: With respect to an Acquisition, the aggregate net assets as of the effective date of such Acquisition of all Acquired Funds.

ii.

“Aggregate Eligible Asset Amount”: With respect to an Acquisition, that portion of the aggregate net assets of Acquired Funds as of the effective date of such Acquisition that is included in Complex-Level Assets. With respect to the series of First American Investment Funds, Inc. that became Acquired Funds as of January 1, 2011, the Aggregate Eligible Asset Amount is $2 billion.

iii.

“Aggregate Eligible Asset Percentage”: The ratio of the Aggregate Eligible Asset Amount to Acquisition Assets.

iv.

“Fund-Specific Complex-Level Fee Rate” : The Complex-Level Fee Rate applicable to a specific Eligible Fund. In the case of Eligible Funds that are Funds of Funds, the Fund-Specific Complex-Level Fee Rate is zero percent (0%). For all other Eligible Funds, the Fund-Specific Complex-Level Fee Rate is the annual fee rate calculated as the sum of (i) the Complex-Level Fee Rate plus (ii) the product of (a) the difference between 0.20% and the Complex-Level Fee Rate; and (b) the ratio of the Fund’s Fund Asset Limit Amount to such Fund’s net assets.

5.1

Obligation of Sender. The Transfer Agent is authorized to promptly debit the appropriate Fund account(s) upon the receipt of a payment order in compliance with the selected security procedure (the “Security Procedure”) chosen for funds transfer and in the amount of money that the Transfer Agent has been instructed to transfer. The Transfer Agent shall execute payment orders in compliance with the Security Procedure and with the Fund instructions on the execution date provided that such payment order is received by the customary deadline for processing such a request, unless the payment order specifies a later time. All payment orders and communications received after the customary deadline will be deemed to have been received the next business day.

5.2

Security Procedure . The Fund acknowledges that the Security Procedure it has designated on the Selection Form was selected by the Fund from security procedures offered by the Transfer Agent. The Fund shall restrict access to confidential information relating to the Security Procedure to authorized persons as communicated to the Transfer Agent in writing. The Fund must notify the Transfer Agent immediately if it has reason to believe unauthorized persons may have obtained access to such information or of any change in the Fund’s authorized personnel. The Transfer Agent shall verify the authenticity of all Fund instructions according to the Security Procedure.

5.3

Account Numbers . The Transfer Agent shall process all payment orders on the basis of the account number contained in the payment order. In the event of a discrepancy between any name indicated on the payment order and the account number, the account number shall take precedence and govern.

5.4

Rejection . The Transfer Agent reserves the right to decline to process or delay the processing of a payment order which (a) is in excess of the collected balance in the account to be charged at the time of the Transfer Agent’s receipt of such payment order; (b) if initiating such payment order would cause the Transfer Agent, in the Transfer Agent’s sole judgment, to exceed any volume, aggregate dollar, network, time, credit or similar limits which are applicable to the Transfer Agent; or (c) if the Transfer Agent, in good faith, is unable to satisfy itself that the transaction has been properly authorized.

5.5

Cancellation Amendment. The Transfer Agent shall use reasonable efforts to act on all authorized requests to cancel or amend payment orders received in compliance with the Security Procedure provided that such requests are received in a timely manner affording the Transfer Agent reasonable opportunity to act. However, the Transfer Agent assumes no liability if the request for amendment or cancellation cannot be satisfied.

5.6

Errors. The Transfer Agent shall assume no responsibility for failure to detect any erroneous payment order provided that the Transfer Agent complies with the payment order instructions as received and the Transfer Agent complies with the Security Procedure. The Security Procedure is established for the purpose of authenticating payment orders only and not for the detection of errors in payment orders.

5.7

Interest . The Transfer Agent shall assume no responsibility for lost interest with respect to the refundable amount of any unauthorized payment order, unless the Transfer Agent is notified of the unauthorized payment order within thirty (30) days of notification by the Transfer Agent of the acceptance of such payment order.

5.8

ACH Credit Entries/Provisional Payments. When the Fund initiates or receives Automated Clearing House credit and debit entries pursuant to these guidelines and the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association and the New England Clearing House Association, State Street will act as an Originating Depository Financial Institution and/or Receiving Depository Financial Institution, as the case may be, with respect to such entries. Credits given by the Transfer Agent with respect to an ACH credit entry are provisional until the Transfer Agent receives final settlement for such entry from the Federal Reserve Bank. If the Transfer Agent does not receive such final settlement, the Fund agrees that the Transfer Agent shall receive a refund of the amount credited to the Fund in connection with such entry, and the party making payment to the Fund via such entry shall not be deemed to have paid the amount of the entry.

5.9

6.	Data Access and Proprietary Information

6.1

The Fund acknowledges that the databases, computer programs, screen formats, report formats, interactive design techniques, and documentation manuals furnished to the Fund by the Transfer Agent as part of the Fund’s ability to access certain Fund-related data maintained by the Transfer Agent on databases under the control and ownership of the Transfer Agent or other third party (“Data Access Services”) constitute copyrighted, trade secret, or other proprietary information (collectively, “Proprietary Information”) of substantial value to the Transfer Agent or other third party. In no event shall Proprietary Information be deemed Customer Information (as defined in Section 10.3 below) or the

confidential information of the Fund. The Fund agrees to treat all Proprietary Information as proprietary to the Transfer Agent and further agrees that it shall not divulge any Proprietary Information to any person or organization except as may be provided hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Fund agrees for itself and its employees and agents to:

(a) Use such programs and databases (i) solely on the Fund’s computers, (ii) solely from equipment at the location agreed to between the Fund and the Transfer Agent and (iii) solely in accordance with the Transfer Agent’s applicable user documentation;

(b) Refrain from copying or duplicating in any way (other than in the normal course of performing processing on the Fund’s computer(s)), the Proprietary Information;

(c) Refrain from obtaining unauthorized access to any portion of the Proprietary Information, and if such access is inadvertently obtained, to inform the Transfer Agent in a timely manner of such fact and dispose of such information in accordance with the Transfer Agent’s instructions;

(d) Refrain from causing or allowing information transmitted from the Transfer Agent’s computer to the Fund’s computer to be retransmitted to any other computer or other device except as expressly permitted by the Transfer Agent (such permission not to be unreasonably withheld);

(e) Allow the Fund to have access only to those authorized transactions as agreed to between the Fund and the Transfer Agent; and

(f) Honor all reasonable written requests made by the Transfer Agent to protect at the Transfer Agent’s expense the rights of the Transfer Agent in Proprietary Information at common law, under federal copyright law and under other federal or state law.

6.2

Proprietary Information shall not include all or any portion of any of the foregoing items that: (i) are or become publicly available without breach of this Agreement; (ii) are released for general disclosure by a written release by the Transfer Agent; or (iii) are already in the possession of the receiving party at the time of receipt without obligation of confidentiality or breach of this Agreement.

6.3

The Fund acknowledges that its obligation to protect the Transfer Agent’s Proprietary Information is essential to the business interest of the Transfer Agent and that the disclosure of such Proprietary Information in breach of this Agreement would cause the Transfer Agent immediate, substantial and irreparable harm, the value of which would be extremely difficult to determine. Accordingly, the parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available in law, equity, or otherwise for the disclosure or use of the Proprietary Information in breach of this Agreement, the Transfer Agent shall be entitled to seek and obtain a temporary restraining order, injunctive relief, or other equitable relief against the continuance of such breach.

6.4

If the Fund notifies the Transfer Agent that any of the Data Access Services do not operate in material compliance with the most recently issued user documentation for such services, the Transfer Agent shall endeavor in a timely manner to correct such failure. Organizations from which the Transfer Agent may obtain certain data included in the Data Access Services are solely responsible for the contents of such data and the Fund agrees to make no claim against the Transfer Agent arising out of the contents of such third-party data, including, but not limited to, the accuracy thereof.

6.5

If the transactions available to the Fund include the ability to originate electronic instructions to the Transfer Agent in order to (i) effect the transfer or movement of cash or Shares or (ii) transmit Shareholder information or other information, then in such event the Transfer Agent shall be entitled to rely on the validity and authenticity of such instruction without undertaking any further inquiry as long as such instruction is undertaken in conformity with security procedures established by the Transfer Agent from time to time.

6.6

Each party shall take reasonable efforts to advise its employees of their obligations pursuant to this Section 6 . The obligations of this Section shall survive any earlier termination of this Agreement.

6.7

THE TRANSFER AGENT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

7.	Indemnification

7.1

The Transfer Agent shall not be responsible for, and the Fund shall indemnify and hold the Transfer Agent, its officers, directors, employees, agents, subcontractors and, with respect to Section 1.3 and Section 7.1(f) herein, also State Street, harmless, from and against, any and all losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel fees (including the defense of any lawsuit), payments, expenses and liability arising out of or attributable to:

(a) All actions required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement, provided that such actions are taken in good faith and without negligence or willful misconduct;

(c) The reliance upon, and any subsequent use of or action taken or omitted on: (i) any information, records, documents, data, stock certificates or services, which are received by the Transfer Agent or its agents or subcontractors by hard copy or by machine readable

input, facsimile, data entry, electronic instructions, or other similar means authorized by the Fund, and which have been prepared, maintained or performed by the Fund or any other person or firm on behalf of the Fund including but not limited to any broker-dealer, TPA or previous transfer agent; (ii) any instructions or requests of the Fund or any of its officers; (iii) any instructions or opinions of legal counsel with respect to any matter arising in connection with the services to be performed by the Transfer Agent under this Agreement which are provided to the Transfer Agent by counsel to the Fund after consultation with such legal counsel and upon which instructions or opinion the Transfer Agent is expressly permitted to rely or opinions of legal counsel that are obtained by the Transfer Agent; or (iv) any paper or document, reasonably believed to be genuine, authentic, or signed by the proper person or persons;

(d) The offer or sale of Shares in violation of federal or state securities laws or regulations requiring that such Shares be registered, or in violation of any stop order or other determination or ruling by any federal or any state agency with respect to the offer or sale of such Shares;

(e) The acceptance of facsimile transaction requests on behalf of individual Shareholders received from broker-dealers, TPAs or the Fund, and the reliance by the Transfer Agent on the broker-dealer, TPA or the Fund ensuring that the original source documentation is in good order and properly retained;

(f) The negotiation and processing of any checks, wires and ACH transmissions including without limitation for deposit into, or credit to, the Fund’s demand deposit accounts maintained by the Transfer Agent; or

(g) Upon the Fund’s request entering into any agreements required by the NSCC for the transmission of Fund or Shareholder data through the NSCC clearing systems.

7.2

To the extent that the Transfer Agent is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1 above and only to the extent of such right, the Fund shall not be responsible for, and the Transfer Agent shall indemnify and hold the Fund harmless from and against any losses, damages, costs, charges, reasonable counsel fees, payments, expenses and liability arising directly out of or attributable to any action or failure of the Transfer Agent to act as a result of the Transfer Agent’s lack of good faith, negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its services hereunder. For those activities or actions delineated in the Procedures, the Transfer Agent shall be presumed to have used reasonable care, acted without negligence, and acted in good faith if it has acted in accordance with the Procedures.

7.3

In order that the indemnification provisions contained in this Section 7 shall apply, upon the assertion of a claim for which one party may be required to indemnify the other party, the indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of such assertion, and shall keep the indemnifying party advised with respect to all developments concerning such claim. The indemnifying party shall have the option to participate with the

indemnified party in the defense of such claim or to defend against said claim in its own name or in the name of the indemnified party. The indemnified party shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which the indemnifying party may be required to indemnify the indemnified party except with the indemnifying party’s prior written consent.

7.4

As-of Adjustments.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to “as of” adjustments, the Transfer Agent will not assume one hundred percent (100%) responsibility for losses resulting from “as ofs” due to clerical errors or misinterpretations of shareholder instructions, but the Transfer Agent will discuss with the Fund the Transfer Agent’s accepting liability for an “as of” on a case-by-case basis and, subject to the limitation set forth in Section 8, will accept financial responsibility for a particular situation resulting in a financial loss to the Fund where such loss is “material,” as hereinafter defined, and, under the particular facts at issue, the Transfer Agent’s conduct was culpable and the Transfer Agent’s conduct is the sole cause of the loss. A loss is “material” for purposes of this Section 7.4 when it results in a pricing error on a particular transaction which equals or exceeds one full cent ($.01) per share times the number of shares outstanding or such other amounts as may be adopted by applicable accounting or regulatory authorities from time to time.

(b) If the net effect of the “as of” transactions that are determined to be caused solely by the Transfer Agent is negative and exceeds the above limit, then the Transfer Agent shall promptly contact the Fund accountants. The Transfer Agent will work with the Fund accountants to determine what, if any, impact the threshold break has on the Fund’s Net Asset Value and what, if any, further action is required. These further actions may include but are not limited to, the Fund re-pricing the affected day(s), the Transfer Agent re-processing, at its expense, all affected transactions in the Fund that took place during the period or a payment to the Fund. The Fund agrees to work in good faith with the Transfer Agent and wherever possible, absent a regulatory prohibition or other mutually agreed upon reason, the Fund agrees to re-price the affected day(s) and to allow the Transfer Agent to re-process the affected transactions. When such re-pricing and re-processing is not possible, and when the Transfer Agent must contribute to the settlement of a loss, the Transfer Agent’s responsibility will commence with that portion of the loss over $0.01 per share calculated on the basis of the total value of all Shares of the affected Portfolio (i.e., on the basis of the value of the Shares of the total Portfolio, including all classes of that Portfolio, not just those of the affected class).

8.	Standard of Care

The Transfer Agent shall at all times act in good faith and agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts in performing the services under this Agreement, but assumes no responsibility and shall not be liable for loss or damage due to errors, including encoding and payment processing errors, unless said errors are caused by its negligence, bad faith,

or willful misconduct or that of its employees or agents. The parties agree that any encoding or payment processing errors shall be governed by this standard of care and that Section 4-209 of the Uniform Commercial Code is superseded by this Section 8 . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Transfer Agent’s aggregate liability during the Term of this Agreement with respect to, arising from or arising in connection with this Agreement, or from all services provided or omitted to be provided by the Transfer Agent under this Agreement for the Funds subject to this Agreement, whether in contract, or in tort, or otherwise, is limited to, and shall not exceed the aggregate of the amounts actually received hereunder by the Transfer Agent as fees and charges, but not including reimbursable expenses, for the Funds covered by this Agreement during the twelve (12) calendar months immediately preceding the first event for which recovery from the Transfer Agent is being sought. The foregoing limitation on liability shall not apply to any loss or damage resulting from any intentional malicious acts or intentional malicious omissions by the Transfer Agent’s employees. For purposes of this Section 8 , “intentional malicious acts or intentional malicious omissions” shall mean those acts undertaken or omitted purposefully under the circumstances in which the person knows that such acts or omissions violate this Agreement and are likely to cause damage or harm to the Fund.

9.	Confidentiality

9.1

This Agreement shall automatically extend for one additional, successive two (2) year term (the “Renewal Term”) unless terminated as of the end of the Initial Term by the Fund on not less than one hundred and twenty (120) days prior written notice to the Transfer Agent. Thereafter the Agreement shall continue for successive periods of one year (each an “Extension Period”) unless terminated by the Transfer Agent or the Fund upon one hundred twenty (120) days before the expiration of such Extension Period. As used hereinafter, “Term” shall refer to the then current duration during which this Agreement is in full force and effect, including the Initial Term, the Renewal Term and any Extension Period. In the event a Fund wishes to terminate this Agreement as to the Fund prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, the Fund shall give the Transfer Agent the notice set forth in Section 11.3 or Section 11.7, as applicable, and shall be subject to the terms of this Section, including the payments applicable under Section 11.3 . One hundred twenty (120) days before the expiration of the Initial Term, the Renewal Term or an Extension Period, the Transfer Agent and the Fund will agree upon a Fee Schedule for the Renewal Term or Extension Period. In the event the parties fail to agree upon a new Fee Schedule as of such date, the Fee Schedule set forth as Schedule 2.1 hereto shall remain in effect subject to increase

under Section 2.6 . Notwithstanding the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall continue to apply until the completion of Deconversion (defined below).

11.2

(ii) Conversion to a transfer agent utilizing the DST TA2000 System (or a successor DST system) or other system of an affiliate of the Transfer Agent . The Fund may terminate this agreement upon giving one hundred twenty (120) days’

written notice to the Transfer Agent or such shorter period as is mutually agreed upon by the parties, if the Fund moves its services provided by the Transfer Agent hereunder to a successor service provider which utilizes the DST TA2000 recordkeeping system (or a successor DST system) or other system of an affiliate of the Transfer Agent.

(iii) Conversion to a Transfer Agent not utilizing the DST TA2000 system (or a successor system) or other system of an affiliate of the Transfer Agent . The Fund may terminate this agreement during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term upon giving one hundred twenty (120) days’ written notice to the Transfer Agent or such shorter period as is mutually agreed upon by the parties, if the Fund moves its services provided by the Transfer Agent hereunder to a successor service provider which is not utilizing the DST TA2000 recordkeeping system (or a successor DST system) or the transfer agency system of an affiliate of the Transfer Agent. Should this Agreement be terminated by the Fund under this subsection (iii) for any reason other than a material breach of the Agreement by the Transfer Agent, the Fund agrees to pay the Transfer Agent an early termination fee, the amount of which shall be determined as follows:

(A) if the Agreement is terminated during the first two years of the Initial Term, the early termination fee shall be equal to twenty-four (24) months of the fees payable to the Transfer Agent under this Agreement (calculated at the asset and/or account levels on the date notice of termination is given); or

(B) if the Agreement is terminated after the first two years of the Initial Term or during a Renewal Term, the early termination fee shall be equal to the lesser of: (1) twelve (12) months of the fees payable to the Transfer Agent under this Agreement; or (2) the fees payable for the number of months remaining in that term (in each case calculated at the asset and/or account levels on the date notice of termination is given).

In addition to the foregoing, if the termination under this subsection (iii) occurs during the Initial Term, the Fund agrees to reimburse the Transfer Agent in an amount equal to the cost of conversion and implementation, which will be subject to a pro rata reduction over the Initial Term.

(iv) Material Breach . Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated by any party upon a material breach of this Agreement by the other party if such breach is not cured within 15 days of notice of such material breach to the breaching party.

11.6

Bankruptcy . Either party hereto may terminate this Agreement by notice to the other party, effective at any time specified therein, in the event that (a) the other party ceases to carry on its business or (b) an action is commenced by or against the other party under Title 11 of the United States Code or a receiver, conservator or similar officer is appointed for the other party and such suit, conservatorship or receivership is not discharged within thirty (30) days.

11.7

Loss of Transfer Agent Registration; Change of Control. In addition to any right to terminate set forth in this Agreement, during the first twenty-four (24) months of the Initial Term, the Fund shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to the Transfer Agent, such termination to take effect not sooner than six (6) months after the date of such delivery, if the Transfer Agent (a) ceases to be registered as a transfer agent under the 1934 Act and has failed to initiate appropriate action to reinstate such registration or has publicly expressed its intention to cease its transfer agency business or (b) experiences any transfer of ownership of a controlling interest by or to any person other than an entity which was an affiliate of the Transfer Agent immediately before any such transfer (for the avoidance of doubt, a transfer of the interests of State Street Corporation and its affiliates to DST Systems, Inc. and its affiliates, and vice versa, would not qualify as a transfer of ownership of a controlling interest). In the event that the Fund exercises its termination rights pursuant to this section, upon presentation by Fund to the Transfer Agent of reasonable, documented payments by the Fund to third parties for costs (not to include, for example, internal costs, attorney’s fees or outside auditor fees) relating to conversion to another provider, Transfer Agent agrees to contribute up to $1 million toward those conversion costs.

11.8	In the event that the Fund terminates this Agreement prior to the end of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, other than by reason of the Transfer Agent’s bankruptcy under Section

11.6 or for cause under Section 11.7 , then effective as of the first day of any month in which the Transfer Agent receives notice of such termination, all discounts of fees and charges or fee concessions provided under this Agreement and any related agreements shall cease and shall be recoverable retroactively to the date such discount or fee concession was first granted and the Fund shall return the amount of any such discounts and fee concessions and thereafter pay full, undiscounted fees and charges for the services.

11.9	The parties agree that the effective date of any Deconversion as a result of termination hereof shall not occur during the period from December 15th through March 1st of any year to avoid adversely impacting a year-end.

11.10

If the Fund fails to give that notice within thirty (30) days after termination of this Agreement, then the Transfer Agent may dispose of such property as it sees fit. The reasonable costs of any such disposition or of the continued storage of such tapes, data files, records, original source documentation or other properties shall be billed to, and within thirty (30) days of receipt of such invoice paid by, the Fund. Failure to pay such sums when due shall incur a late charge in accordance with Section 2.7 of this Agreement. The Transfer Agent may keep one copy of certain Fund related records to the extent, and for such period, as may be legally required in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the Transfer Agent, as discussed under Section 10.2 .

AML DELEGATION

Dated: May 11, 2012

1.	Delegation.

1.1

In order to assist the Fund, and upon instruction from the Fund, the Fund’s distributor, with responsibilities under applicable AML laws, the Transfer Agent offers certain risk-based AML Procedures that are reasonably designed to: (i) promote the detection and reporting of potential money laundering activities; and (ii) assist in the verification of persons opening accounts with the Fund. The Fund has had an opportunity to review the AML Procedures with the Transfer Agent and desires to implement the AML Procedures as part of the Fund’s overall AML program (the “AML Program”).

1.2

Accordingly, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Fund hereby instructs and directs the Transfer Agent to implement the AML Procedures as set forth in Section 4 below on the Fund’s behalf and delegates to the Transfer Agent the day-to-day operation of the AML Procedures. The AML Procedures set forth in Section 4 may be amended, from time to time, by mutual agreement of the Fund and the Transfer Agent upon the execution by such parties of a revised Schedule 1.2(e) bearing a later date than the date hereof.

1.3

The Transfer Agent agrees to perform such AML Procedures, with respect to the ownership of Shares in the Fund for which the Transfer Agent maintains the applicable shareholder information, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Consent to Examination. In connection with the performance by the Transfer Agent of the AML Procedures, the Transfer Agent understands and acknowledges that the Fund remains responsible for assuring compliance with the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USA PATRIOT Act”) and that the records the Transfer Agent maintains for the Fund relating to the AML Program may be subject, from time to time, to examination and/or inspection by federal regulators in order that the regulators may evaluate such compliance. The Transfer Agent hereby consents to such examination and/or inspection and agrees to cooperate with such federal examiners in connection with their review. For purposes of such examination and/or inspection, the Transfer Agent will use its best efforts to make available, during normal business hours and on reasonable notice all required records and information for review by such examiners.

Limitation on Delegation. The Fund acknowledges and agrees that in accepting the delegation hereunder, the Transfer Agent is agreeing to perform only the AML Procedures, as may be amended from time to time, and is not undertaking and shall not be responsible for any other aspect of the AML Program or for the overall compliance by the Fund with the USA PATRIOT Act or for any other matters that have not been delegated hereunder. Additionally, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Transfer

Schedule 1.2(e) - 1

SCHEDULE 1.2(e)

AML DELEGATION

Dated: May 11, 2012

Agent shall only be responsible for performing the AML Procedures with respect to the ownership of, and transactions in, Shares in the Funds for which the Transfer Agent maintains the applicable Shareholder information.

4.	AML Procedures ¹

4.1

Consistent with the services provided by the Transfer Agent and with respect to the ownership of Shares in the Fund for which the Transfer Agent maintains the applicable Shareholder information, the Transfer Agent shall:

(a) On a daily basis, submit all new customer account registrations and registration changes against the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) database, the Politically Exposed Persons (“PEP”) database, and such other lists or databases as may be required from time to time by applicable regulatory authorities;

(b) Submit all account registrations through OFAC database, the PEP database, and such other lists or databases as may be required from time to time by applicable regulatory authorities;

(c) On a daily basis, submit special payee information from checks, outgoing wires and systematic withdrawal files through the OFAC database;

(d) Review certain types of redemption transactions that occur within thirty (30) days of an account establishment, registration change, or banking information change (e.g. redemption by wire within 30 days of banking information change; rapid depletion of account balance after establishment; and redemption by check within 30 days of address change);

(e) Review wires sent pursuant to banking instructions other than those on file with the Transfer Agent;

(f) Review accounts with small balances followed by large purchases;

(g) Review accounts with frequent activity within a specified date range followed by a large redemption;

¹	The accounts, transactions, items and activity reviewed in each case are subject to certain standard exclusions as set forth in written procedures of the Transfer Agent, which have been made available to the Fund and which may be modified from time to time.

Schedule 1.2(e) - 2

SCHEDULE 1.2(e)

AML DELEGATION

Dated: May 11, 2012

(h) Review purchase and redemption activity by check that meets or exceeds $100,000 threshold on any given day;

(i) Determine when a suspicious activity report (“SAR”) should be filed as required by regulations applicable to mutual funds; prepare and file the SAR; provide the Fund with a copy of the SAR within a reasonable time after filing; and notify the Fund if any further communication is received from the U.S. Department of the Treasury or other law enforcement agencies regarding such filing;

(j) Compare account information to any FinCEN request received by the Fund and provided to the Transfer Agent pursuant to USA PATRIOT Act Sec. 314(a). Provide the Fund with the necessary information for it to respond to such request within required time frame;

(k) (i) Take reasonable steps to verify the identity of any person seeking to become a new customer of the Fund and notify the Fund in the event such person cannot be verified, (ii) Maintain records of the information used to verify the person’s identity, as required, and (iii) Determine whether the person appears on any lists of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist organizations provided to the Fund by any government agency;

(1) Conduct due diligence and if required, enhanced due diligence in accordance with 31 C.F.R. 103.176(b) for new and existing correspondent accounts for foreign financial institutions (as defined in 31 C.F.R. 103.175). The Transfer Agent will perform an assessment of the money laundering risk presented by the account based on a consideration of relevant factors in accordance with applicable law and information provided by the foreign financial institution in a financial institution questionnaire. If an account is determined to have a medium or above risk-ranking, the Transfer Agent will monitor the account on a monthly basis for unusual activity. In the situation where due diligence cannot be completed with respect to an account, the Transfer Agent will contact the Fund’s AML Officer for further instruction.

(m) Upon the request by the Fund, conduct due diligence to determine if the Fund is involved with any foreign jurisdiction, institution, class of transactions and a type of account designated, from time to time, by the U.S. Department of Justice in order to identify and take certain “special measures” against such entities as required under Section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act (31 C.F.R. 103.193).

(n) Commencing on or before the date as determined by FinCEN, create and retain records required under 31 CFR 103.33 in connection with the transmittals of funds in amounts equal to or in excess of $3,000, and transmit such information on the transactions to the receiving financial institutions.

SCHEDULE 12.1

THIRD PARTY ADMINISTRATOR(S) PROCEDURES

Dated: May 11, 2012

On each day on which both the New York Stock Exchange and the Fund are open for business (a “Business Day”), the TPA(s) shall receive, on behalf of and as agent of the Fund, Instructions (as hereinafter defined) from the Plan. Instructions shall mean as to each Fund (i) orders by the Plan for the purchases of Shares, and (ii) requests by the Plan for the redemption of Shares; in each case based on the Plan’s receipt of purchase orders and redemption requests by Participants in proper form by the time required by the term of the Plan, but not later than the time of day at which the net asset value of a Fund is calculated, as described from time to time in that Fund’s prospectus. Each Business Day on which the TPA receives Instructions shall be a “Trade Date.”

2.	The TPA(s) shall communicate the TPA(s)’s acceptance of such Instructions, to the applicable Plan.

On the next succeeding Business Day following the Trade Date on which it accepted Instructions for the purchase and redemption of Shares, (TD+1), the TPA(s) shall notify the Transfer Agent of the net amount of such purchases or redemptions, as the case may be, for each of the Plans. In the case of net purchases by any Plan, the TPA(s) shall instruct the Trustees of such Plan to transmit the aggregate purchase price for Shares by wire transfer to the Transfer Agent on (TD+1). In the case of net redemptions by any Plan, the TPA(s) shall instruct the Fund’s custodian to transmit the aggregate redemption proceeds for Shares by wire transfer to the Trustees of such Plan on (TD+1). The times at which such notification and transmission shall occur on (TD+1) shall be as mutually agreed upon by each Fund, the TPA(s), and the Transfer Agent.

The TPA(s) shall maintain separate records for each Plan, which record shall reflect Shares purchased and redeemed, including the date and price for all transactions, and Share balances. The TPA(s) shall maintain on behalf of each of the Plans a single master account with the Transfer Agent and such account shall be in the name of that Plan, the TPA(s), or the nominee of either thereof as the record owner of Shares owned by such Plan.

5.	The TPA(s) shall maintain records of all proceeds of redemptions of Shares and all other distributions not reinvested in Shares.

6.	The TPA(s) shall prepare, and transmit to each of the Plans, periodic account statements showing the total number of Shares owned by that Plan as of the statement closing date, purchases and redemptions of Shares by the Plan during the period covered by the

Schedule 12.1 - 1

statement, and the dividends and other distributions paid to the Plan on Shares during the statement period (whether paid in cash or reinvested in Shares).

7.	The TPA(s) shall, at the request and expense of each Fund, transmit to the Plans prospectuses, proxy materials, reports, and other information provided by each Fund for delivery to its Shareholders.

8.	The TPA(s) shall, at the request of each Fund, prepare and transmit to each Fund or any agent designated by it such periodic reports covering Shares of each Plan as each Fund shall reasonably conclude are necessary to enable the Fund to comply with state Blue Sky requirements.

9.	The TPA(s) shall transmit to the Plans confirmation of purchase orders and redemption requests placed by the Plans; and

10.	The TPA(s) shall, with respect to Shares, maintain account balance information for the Plan(s) and daily and monthly purchase summaries expressed in Shares and dollar amounts.

11.

Plan sponsors may request, or the law may require, that prospectuses, proxy materials, periodic reports and other materials relating to each Fund be furnished to Participants in which event the Transfer Agent or each Fund shall mail or cause to be mailed such materials to Participants. With respect to any such mailing, the TPA(s) shall, at the request of the Transfer Agent or each Fund, provide at the TPA(s)’s expense a complete and accurate set of mailing labels with the name and address of each Participant having an interest through the Plans in Shares.

Amendment to Amended and Restated Securities Lending Agreement

Between

U.S. Bank National Association and

Nuveen Investment Funds, Inc.

THIS AMENDMENT is made as of January 1, 2012, by and between U.S. Bank National Association (the “Bank”) and Nuveen Investment Funds, Inc. (formerly known as First American Investment Funds, Inc.) (“NIF”).

WHEREAS, the Bank and NIF have entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Lending Agreement dated as of February 17, 2010, as amended as of December 30, 2010 (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Bank engages in securities lending as agent for certain series of NIF (each series a separate “Customer”) with respect to certain securities owned by each Customer.

WHEREAS, the Bank and NIF wish to amend the Agreement, effective January 1, 2012.

NOW THEREFORE, the Bank and NIF, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.	The Bank shall accept only Cash Collateral with respect to Loans entered into on behalf of the Customers.

2.	Exhibit B of the Agreement is hereby replaced, in its entirety, with the following:

Exhibit B

Securities Lending Fee

NIF shall pay to the Bank, on behalf of the Customers, a fixed annual fee, payable monthly, for administering the securities lending program for such Customers. Such fee shall be calculated as follows:

Effective January 1, 2012, the annual fee shall be $844,351, which is equal to (a) the expense of operating the Bank’s securities lending program during the calendar year ended December 31, 2010, as presented to the board of directors of the First American Funds as part of its 2011 contract renewal process, multiplied by (b) the Customers’ proportionate share of the securities lending transaction activity of all of the Bank’s securities lending clients during the 12 months ended December 31, 2011.

Such annual fee will be in effect through June 30, 2012. The parties agree that, on that date, the annual fee will be recalculated using the Bank’s securities lending program expenses for the calendar year ended December 31, 2011, as presented to the board of directors of the First American Funds, and securities lending transaction activity for the 12 months ended June 30, 2011, such revised fee being subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of NIF.

1/12 ^th of the annual fee will be charged to the Customers each month, with such monthly charge being allocated among the Customers in proportion to their respective earnings from securities lending during such month, provided, however, that if a Customer’s Cash Collateral was invested during such month in Prime Portfolio, such Customer’s fee for such month will be reduced, if necessary, so that the sum of (a) that portion of the administration fee (.02% per annum) earned by U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. (“USBAM”) from Prime Portfolio during such month that is allocable to such Customer, plus (b) the monthly fee paid by such Customer to the Bank under this Agreement, does not exceed 20% of the sum of (i) the Customer’s Net Income for such month plus (ii) that portion of the administration fee earned by USBAM from Prime Portfolio during such month that is allocable to such Customer.

The monthly fee for each Customer shall be calculated and retained by the Bank out of such Customer’s Net Income for such month, provided, however, that if the fee is not so retained, NIF, on behalf of such Customer, shall pay such fee upon request from the Bank.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed and delivered this Amendment as of the date first above written by their duly authorized officers.

Fund-level expenses include fees for services that are received equally by the classes under the same fee arrangement. All expenses attributable to a Fund that are not “class-level expenses” (as defined below) shall be Fund-level expenses, including but not limited to transfer agency fees and expenses, share registration expenses, and shareholder reporting expenses.

(c) Class-Level Expenses. Expenses that are directly attributable to a particular class of shares, including the expenses relating to the distribution of a class’ shares, or to services provided to the shareholders of a class, as set forth in Section 2 of this Plan, will be incurred by that class of shares. Class-level expenses include expenses for services that are unique to a class of shares in either form or amount. “Class-level expenses” shall include, but not be limited to, distribution and service fees charged pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plans (collectively, “ 12b-1 fees ”), expenses associated with the addition of share classes to an Issuer (to the extent that the expenses were not fully accrued prior to the issuance of the new classes of shares), expenses of administrative personnel and services required to support the shareholders of a specific class of shares, litigation or other legal expenses relating to a specific class of shares, directors’ fees or expenses incurred as a result of issues relating to a specific class of shares, and accounting expenses relating to a specific class of shares.

(d) Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements. On a daily basis, if the Fund-level expenses and the class-level expenses (not including 12b-1 fees) exceed the daily expense cap in effect for a Fund, an appropriate waiver/reimbursement will be made to the Fund. The amount of such reimbursement to each class will be in an amount such that the expenses of the class with the highest expense ratio (excluding 12b-1 fees) will be equal to the daily expense cap after reimbursement. The expense reimbursement will be allocated to each class of shares based on each class’ relative percentage of the total value of shares outstanding of the Fund at the beginning of the day, after such net assets are adjusted for the prior day’s capital share transactions.
